154 What She Need Is Platinum Brain (2/2)
When it came to Wang Lu, everyone’s attention was focused. Obviously in their hearts, although in terms of strength, Liu Li was much stronger than Wang Lu, Wang Lu was the one they truly thought to be the one worth paying attention to.
After all, although Liu Li was formidable, their Eldest Brother had seventy percent chance of defeating her, but Wang Lu… even though his cultivation was quite low, no one dared to say they could confidently overcome him. Especially since his performance at the Gate of All Living Things had left a deep psychological trauma on them.
”These several days, I have carefully collected some of Wang Lu’s information... In short, he is an opponent that, in theory, pose no threat in the ring.”
”What?”
”Is it inconceivable? Then let’s look at the data... his magical power cultivation is only at the level two Qi Cultivating Stage, his Non-Phase cultivation method is the creation of his Master, and his defensive ability is exceptionally alarming. Theoretically, even if I try my best, it’s difficult to defeat him in a short time. But on the other hand, correspondingly, his offensive ability is negligible. He doesn’t have any marvelous spell, and his sword art also lacks in explosive power, so much that he can’t even send sword qi out of his body. According to the average level of the Spirit Sword Sect, his attack power can’t even be compared to the attack power of the middle-level Qi Cultivating Stage disciples. In fighting him, as long as we stand in the arena, we already occupy the invincible position. His threat to us can’t even be compared to that of Wen Bao. After all, if the later went all out, it would likely cause us some trouble.”
Ye Feifei was somewhat in disbelieve. ”How could it be, he is after all one of the Successor Disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect…”
Zhan Ziye replied, ”It’s probably because he spent too much of his time scheming and deceiving people, which in turn delayed his cultivation training. It is said that his spirit root quality is even much better than Liu Li, but after five years of cultivation training, he can’t even reach Foundation Establishment Stage. Even compared to the average cultivation pace of the Spirit Sword Sect, he is still somewhat slow. Humph, those barbarian orangutans, and upstarts like to ridicule us, Ten Thousand Arts Sect people, as people who only know how to excessively research and study to such extent that it delays our cultivation training. But this Wang Lu is even more excessive than us.”
”Senior Brother, this time I disagree with your point of view.” Hai Yunfan softly interrupted, ”Even if he spent too much of his time scheming and deceiving people, the fact is we have lost three times to him. Rather than belittling our opponent, we should think about ways to counter his scheme... respecting the objective facts, doesn’t our Ten Thousand Arts Sect always endorse such academic thinking?”
Zhan Ziye was stunned for a moment, and then calmly nodded, ”You’re right, Junior Brother, I have unconsciously belittled our opponent.”
Hai Yunfan continued, ”In my opinion, Wang Lu’s style of extreme defense is precisely the condition that is perfect for him. If we can’t beat him in a short time, it means we can’t stop him from using these time to execute his scheme. I believe all of us have experienced it, as long as we let him grasp the rhythm, it’s very easy for him to create miracles.”
Zhan Ziye pondered for a moment. ”I understand. To deal with Wang Lu, we mustn’t try to prolong the fight just because of his astonishing defensive power. Instead, we must try to defeat him in the shortest amount of time possible, do not give him the opportunity to play tricks.”
Hai Yunfan said, ”At least I can only think of this one.”
Zhan Ziye said, ”Then everyone needs to remember this, don’t be careless. Next, we will analyze the remaining three people. The first is Yue Yun. Although his cultivation level is not high, his overall quality is quite comprehensive, with solid basic skills. However, he is of soil base Spirit Root, which has its flaws. In my opinion…”
——
While the Ten Thousand Arts Sect people were carefully analyzing their opponents, the Spirit Sword Sect people weren’t idle either.
Yue Yun, Yue Xinyao, Wen Bao...and the rest of the inner and outer court disciples that didn’t participate in the competition gathered at the Tengyun Hall on the Misty Peak and received a public lecture from Elder Liu Xian.
”Zhan Ziye, middle-level Foundation Establishment, first rank spirit root, with Five Thunderbolt Sutra as his core method…”
”Ye Feifei, low-level Foundation Establishment, second rank spirit root, core method…”
After being inducted by the Heavenly Sword Hall Elders, Liu Xian carefully explained in details the sorted information about the respective characteristics and data of the five disciples of the Ten Thousand Arts Sect. Unlike the Ten Thousand Arts Sect, the disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect did not pursue a quick cultivation progress. Therefore, they generally ‘matured’ slowly. Right now, most of the present disciples haven’t even reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, which meant it wasn’t realistic to force them to assume personal responsibility.
”Hey, do you know where Senior Sister Liu Li and Senior Brother Wang Lu are?” Wen Yin, who was sitting inside the Tengyun Hall, asked in a low voice, ”They’re supposed to be the main trump card here.”
”Them?” Being asked by Wen Yin, Yue Xinyao could only helplessly sigh. ”Senior Sister Liu Li is under special training by our Fourth Uncle. It is said that the large part of this special training program was developed by Senior Brother Wang Lu, which is called...brain teasers.”
Wen Yin nodded as if she somewhat comprehended. ”Em...then what about Senior Brother Wang Lu?”
”He...he said he had to solve his fight by himself.”
Wen Yin’s eyes sprang wide in surprise. ”That is such a good line!”
”Heh.” Yue Xinyao shook her head while inwardly thinking, ‘you haven’t heard his more amazing line yet.’
Half a day ago, Yue Xinyao had gone to the Non-Phase Peak to deliver her Master’s request for Wang Lu to attend the lecture. However, Wang Lu’s response to such request was this:
”It’s a disgrace to hear the tactics of those mediocre people of the Heavenly Sword Hall.”
