Chapter 64 - 54: How to Break the Game?
“In this case, attempting to use a level 5 Guardian Beast against his level 6 Guardian Beast will be extremely difficult!”
Li Sheng’s expression was serious as he continued, “But there is still a chance to win!”
Everyone pricked up their ears and widened their eyes.
Li Sheng pointed at Shen Daodao’s three Guardian Beasts and said, “Let me explain the situation of Shen Daodao’s three Guardian Beasts first…
“Shen Daodao’s first Guardian Beast, a 5th level Gossipy Dragon with Fire Attribute, has four skills: Flame Shield, Fire Pillar, Claw Tear, and Sharp Beak Peck; ”
“Shen Daodao’s second Guardian Beast, a 5th level Night Blade Leopard with Shadow Attribute, has three skills: Poisonous Fang Attack, Shadow Spinning
Stab, and Shadow Arrow;”
“Shen Daodao’s third Guardian Beast, a 6th level Dragon Blood Mad Lion with
Fire Attribute, has four skills: Flame Dragon Fireball, Great Flame Bomb, Blazing Dance, and Crazy Lion Bite;”
A female student asked, somewhat puzzled, “Teacher, how do you know the skills of Shen Daodao’s recently leveled up Guardian Beasts?”
“Of course!” Li Sheng said proudly, “That show-off was easily manipulated after I plied him with two glasses of wine. Now, why are you looking at me like
“I did it for War God Academy!”
“Do you know how much I’ve sacrificed?!”
All classmates:
Li Sheng snorted, “Focus on the lesson! Battles between experts like these are extremely beneficial for your future cultivation and combat!”
The student who claimed to have signed a contract with a Guardian Beast raised his hand and asked, “Teacher, since two of Shen Daodao’s Guardian
Beasts have Fire Attribute, would a Water Attribute Guardian Beast owned by
Chu Xuan be able to counter them?”
“Good question.” Li Sheng nodded, “Actually, this will be taught in future lessons…”
“You have to understand one thing, countering Guardian Beast Attributes is not absolute!”
“The so-called counter only means that you may have a slight advantage in some sense. It doesn’t necessarily mean that a Water Attribute Guardian Beast of the same level can easily overwhelm a Fire Attribute Guardian Beast!”
“Some Fire Attribute skills will be somewhat less effective against Water Attribute skills, but not to the extent you may think!”
“The skills the Guardian Beast possesses, the proficiency of those skills, the Guardian Beastmaster’s tactical arrangements, and the coordination between the Guardian Beast and its master are all crucial!”
“The battleground is ever-changing, and many factors can determine victory or defeat, even life or death!”
“Do not be careless just because of your Guardian Beast’s attribute!”
“So, we have to keep training our Guardian Beasts, while also focusing on our own cultivation and constant battles!”
“Let’s get back to the topic of Chu Xuan and Shen Daodao’s duel…”
Li Sheng pointed at Chu Xuan’s three Guardian Beasts with a wooden stick and said, “Take a look at Chu Xuan’s three Guardian Beasts.”
“The first Guardian Beast, a 5th level Heavy-armored Beetle King with Wood
Attribute, has three skills: Brutal Charge, Vine Wood Cage, and Razor Frenzy Cut;”
“The second Guardian Beast, a 5th level Desert Wind Falcon, with Wind and Sand dual-attributes, has two skills: Wind Blade and Sandstorm. This is the only dual-attribute Guardian Beast in the three major academies.”
“I stand corrected… There should be one more now, which is Chen Fan’s Slime – a dual-attribute Guardian Beast with Wind and Water Attributes;”
“The third Guardian Beast, a 5th level Dark-blood Stone Golem with Earth
Attribute, has three skills: Falling Rocks, Obsidian Armor, and Light Rock Technique;”
“Chu Xuan’s Guardian Beasts are somewhat special because, in addition to high intelligence, the Stone Golem has a humanoid form. Consequently, Chu Xuan has taught it hammer techniques, so even without using the above-mentioned skills, the Dark-blood Stone Golem’s attack with a giant hammer is extremely terrifying. ‘
A student immediately raised his hand and asked, “Why does Shen Daodao’s level 5 Guardian Beast have three skills while Chu Xuan’s Desert Wind Falcon has only two skills?”
Li Sheng patiently replied, “The number of skills a Guardian Beast of any level has is not strictly determined… Different races and different Guardian Beasts all have very different skills.”
“It’s perfectly normal for a level 2 Guardian Beast to have three skills.”
“It’s not that the higher the level, the more skills there are… Your Guardian Beast might have two skills now, but after leveling up, it might have three or still have only two.”
“The key is the strength and practicality of the skills.”
Li Sheng continued, “Don’t underestimate the Desert Wind Falcon… With just these two skills, many Guardian Beasts of the same level would be crying out in pain.”
Chu Xuan:
Chen Fan grinned, remembering his nickname for the Desert Wind Falcon: “Sand Sculpture.”
Li Sheng went on, “You should know that this is a flying Guardian Beast, and their mobility is extremely powerful… Theoretically, to deal with a flying Guardian Beast, you can only rely on another flying Guardian Beast.”
“Otherwise, you have only one option… Defeat or kill the Guardian Beastmaster of the flying Guardian Beast!”
“However, Shen Daodao doesn’t have a flying Guardian Beast, and the Desert
Wind Falcon skill ‘Sandstorm’ is the perfect counter for the skills of Shen Daodao’s two Fire Attribute Guardian Beasts. So, in their previous battles, Chu
Xuan has always held a significant advantage.”
“Whether it’s spitting fire, Flame Dragon Fireball, Great Flame Bomb, or Blazing Dance… All are useless in the face of Sandstorm!”
“Of course, we’re talking about situations where they’re at the same level.”
“Now that the Dragon Blood Mad Lion has reached level 6, the power of its skills has greatly increased. A skill like Great Flame Bomb, if used correctly, could possibly knock down the Desert Wind Falcon with a single strike.”
“In the past, Chu Xuan and Shen Daodao’s confrontation could be suppressed by Desert Wind Falcon against the Dragon Blood Mad Lion.”
“But now, after the Dragon Blood Mad Lion has broken through to level 6, the opponent for the Dragon Blood Mad Lion must be replaced with another Guardian Beast.”
“After all, the Desert Wind Falcon has relatively weak defense and can’t withstand the attack of the level 6 Dragon Blood Mad Lion.”
As he said this, Li Sheng explained the skills of Shen Daodao’s three Guardian Beasts, as well as Chu Xuan’s three Guardian Beasts, one by one.
Then, he said aloud, “Now, all six Guardian Beasts are here, and I have already explained their skills very clearly.”
“Everyone, use your brains and think about how to organize tactics.”
“Although most of you do not have Guardian Beasts yet, let alone having fought with Guardian Beasts, surely you have played online games, right?”
“Just treat this battle as an online game.”
All classmates:
Obviously, Teacher Li didn’t have any good strategies himself.
Soon, everyone started discussing their opinions with fervor.
But no one was able to come up with a good plan.
For most people, even though Li Sheng had explained each skill, they had no concept of how strong or different the level 5 and 6 Guardian Beasts really were.
How could they find a good strategy like this?
Even the suggestions made by the six first-rank realm students of Class Five were refused right away by Li Sheng.
But the atmosphere from this discussion pleased Li Sheng greatly.
At that moment, a student in the front row couldn’t contain himself any longer, “Teacher Li, if we keep going like this, will we really have no way of defeating Shen Daodao?”
Li Sheng’s stick pointed at Chu Xuan’s other two Guardian Beasts: “First of all, to compete against the level 6 Dragon Blood Mad Lion, the Heavy-armored
Beetle King at level 5 and Dark-blood Stone Golem at level 5 must join forces!”
“Chu Xuan’s two Guardian Beasts have impressive defenses, and together, they can resist the level 6 Dragon Blood Mad Lion.”
“Back then, these two Guardian Beasts relied on their powerful defense to ignore the attack of our War God Academy’s another genius, Ye Hao’s Guardian
Beasts, and chased Ye Hao to a point where he had no way to escape…”
Just as he was saying this, Ye Hao’s head popped in from the doorway: “Teacher Li, I won’t accept you slandering and ridiculing me like this!” All the classmates were dumbfounded.
Chen Fan couldn’t help but take a few more looks at Ye Hao.
Li Sheng was also dumbfounded, “Ye Hao, how could you… be everywhere?”
Ye Hao rolled his eyes and walked to the back, sitting next to Chu Xuan. Only then did he say, “I came over to discuss with Chu Xuan how to deal with Shen Daodao, and just as I came in, I heard you mocking me.” Li Sheng spoke seriously, “Ye Hao, you’re blaming me wrongly.”
“I’m just telling a fact.”
“…” Ye Hao was angry.
Li Sheng continued, “Just now I mentioned the powerful defense of the Heavy-armored Beetle King and Dark-blood Stone Golem. Relying on their strong defense, they can suppress the level 6 Dragon Blood Mad Lion for a certain period of time.”
“But, in doing so, the Desert Wind Falcon will have to face Shen Daodao’s other two Guardian Beasts.”
“The Desert Wind Falcon won’t be able to withstand those two Guardian Beasts. ”
“Of course, if the Desert Wind Falcon were to flee, Shen Daodao’s two Guardian Beasts would naturally be helpless, but those two Guardian Beasts would definitely rush to the Heavy-armored Beetle King and Dark-blood Stone Golem, and Chu Xuan would definitely be in a passive position.”
“So, what should we do?”
Many students couldn’t help but roll their eyes.
You’ve talked so long and circled back to the beginning?
Isn’t this why we wanted to hear your solution?
You’re asking us novices? What do you mean?
Li Sheng looked at Chen Fan, who was lying on the table, “Chen Fan, when everyone was eagerly expressing their opinions just now, why were you half-dead?”
“Stand up, and tell us your thoughts.”
Chen Fan reluctantly stood up and said, “A solution… I do have two.”
“What?” Li Sheng and the others thought they had heard wrong.
Everyone had discussed it over and over again, even talking until their saliva was drying up, but no one had come up with a feasible plan.
You actually have two solutions?
Do people from Imperial City all like to brag like this?
