: How to Break the Impasse?

Chapter 55: How to Break the Impasse?

"In that case, trying to fight him with a level 5 beast tamer and his level 6 beast tamer is just too, too difficult!"

Li Sheng's expression was grave as he continued, "But it's not like there's no chance of winning!"

Everyone pricked up their ears and widened their eyes.

Li Sheng pointed to Shen Daodao's three tamed beasts and said, "Let me first tell you about the situation of Shen Daodao's three tamed beasts..."

"Shen Daodao's first tamed beast, a level 5 Chicken Dragon, fire attribute, with four skills: Flame Shield, Fire Pillar, Claw Tear, and Sharp Beak Peck;"

"Shen Daodao's second tamed beast, a level 5 Nightblade Leopard, is of the Shadow attribute and has three skills: Venomous Fang Attack, Shadow Whirlwind Thrust, and Shadow Arrow."

"Shen Daodao's third tamed beast, a level 6 Dragonblood Lion, is a fire-attribute beast with four skills: Fiery Dragon Fireball, Great Fiery Bullet, Blazing Dance, and Lion's Bite."

A girl asked, somewhat puzzled, "Teacher, you also know about Shen Daodao's newly upgraded Beast Taming skill?"

"Of course!" Li Sheng said with a proud smile, "That kid likes to show off and act tough. I had someone ply him with a couple of drinks and got him to confess... Hmm? Why are you all looking at me like that?"

"I did it for the War God Academy!"

Do you know how much I've sacrificed?!

The whole class: "..."

Li Sheng snorted lightly: "Pay close attention to the lesson. This level of expert combat will be extremely beneficial to your future cultivation and battles!"

The student who had previously mentioned having signed a contract with a beast tamer raised his hand and said, "Teacher, I noticed that Shen Daodao has two fire-attribute beasts. If Chu Xuan has a water-attribute beast, would that be able to counter his beasts?"

"That's a good question." Li Sheng nodded and said, "Actually, this course will be taught later..."

"You must understand one thing: the elemental advantage of beast taming is not absolute!"

"The so-called 'restraint' only means that you can gain a slight advantage in a certain sense. It doesn't mean that, for beast tamers of the same level, water-attribute beasts can always easily defeat fire-attribute beasts!"

"Some fire-attribute skills will definitely be less effective against water-attribute skills, but not as much as you might imagine!"

"Beast taming involves skills, the proficiency of those skills, the tactical arrangements of the beast tamer, and the coordination between beast tamers... all of these are crucial!"

"The battlefield is ever-changing, involving numerous factors that can determine victory, defeat, and even life and death!"

"Never be careless because of the attributes of the beast you tame!"

"Therefore, we must constantly train our beast tamers, and at the same time, we must continuously cultivate ourselves and engage in constant battles!"

"We've gone off on a tangent; we'll talk about this later."

"Let's continue with the battle between Chu Xuan and Shen Daodao..."

He pointed at Chu Xuan's three tamed beasts with a wooden stick and said, "Everyone, take a look at Chu Xuan's three tamed beasts."

"The first tamed beast, a level 5 Heavy Armored Insect King, wood attribute, has three skills: Brute Force Charge, Vine Cage, and Sharp Blade Slash;"

"The second beast tamed is a level 5 Desert Wind Eagle, with both wind and sand attributes. It has two skills: Wind Blade and Sandstorm. This is the only dual-attribute beast tamed in the three academies."

"I misspoke... There should be one more now, the slime that Chen Fan has, which is both wind and water attribute."

"The third beast, a level 5 Darkblood Stone Golem, earth attribute, uses three skills: Falling Rocks, Obsidian Armor, and Light Rock Technique."

"Chu Xuan's beast is a bit special because, in addition to its high intelligence, the stone golem is humanoid. So, besides the three skills mentioned above, Chu Xuan also taught it hammer techniques. Even without using the three skills, the Dark Blood Stone Golem's hammer attack is extremely terrifying."

One student immediately raised their hand and asked, "Why does Shen Daodao's level 5 Beast Tamer have 3 skills, while Chu Xuan's Desert Wind Eagle only has 2 skills?"

Li Sheng patiently explained, "There are no strict restrictions on the level of a beast tamer or the number of skills it has... Different races and different beast tamers have vastly different skills."

"It's quite normal for a level 2 Beast Tamer to have three skills."

"It's not that the higher the level, the more skills you have... Your beast currently has two skills. Maybe it will have three skills after leveling up, or maybe it will still only have two skills."

"The key is still the skill itself, how powerful and practical it is."

Li Sheng continued, "Don't underestimate the Sand Eagle... The Desert Wind Eagle's skills, just these two skills alone, are enough to make many beasts of the same level cry for their parents."

Henry Chu: "..."

Chen Fan grinned.

He also jokingly referred to Chu Xuan's desert wind sculpt as a sand sculpt.

Li Sheng continued, "You must understand, this is a flying beast. Flying beasts are incredibly mobile... Theoretically, the only way to deal with a flying beast is to rely on a flying beast."

"Otherwise, you only have one option... which is to defeat or kill the beastmaster who controls the flying beasts!"

"But Shen Daodao doesn't have any flying beasts, and the Desert Wind Eagle's skill 'Sandstorm' just happens to counter the skills of Shen Daodao's two fire-attribute beasts. So when he faced Chu Xuan before, Chu Xuan always had a great advantage."

"Whether it's fire breath, fiery dragon fireballs, giant fireballs, or raging flames... they're all utterly useless against the sandstorm!"

"Of course, this is under the condition of the same level."

"Now that the Dragonblood Lion has reached level 6, the power of its skills has greatly increased. If used properly, skills like the Great Flame Bullet could very well bring down the Desert Wind Eagle in one hit."

"In the past, when Chu Xuan fought against Shen Daodao, he could suppress the Dragon Blood Lion with the Desert Wind Eagle."

"But now that the Dragonblood Lion has broken through to level 6, we must change the Dragonblood Lion's opponent to another beast."

"After all, the Desert Wind Eagle's defense is relatively weak and it can't withstand the attack of a level 6 Dragonblood Lion."

As he spoke, Li Sheng recounted the skills of Shen Daodao's three tamed beasts and the skills of Chu Xuan's three tamed beasts.

Then, he said loudly, "Now, all six beasts are here, and I have explained their skills very clearly."

"Everyone, use your brains and think about how to organize tactics."

"Although most of you haven't tamed beasts yet, let alone fought alongside them, you've all played online games, right?"

"Just treat this battle like an online game match."

The whole class: "..."

Clearly, even Teacher Li himself hadn't come up with a good solution.

Everyone started discussing and expressing their opinions.

But nobody came up with a good solution.

Even though Li Sheng had explained each skill, most people still had no concept of how strong a level 5 Beast Tamer was compared to a level 6 Beast Tamer, or how much difference there was between them.

How can we find a good solution?

Even the proposals put forward by the six first-grade realm cultivators from Class 5 were directly rejected by Li Sheng.

However, Li Sheng was very satisfied with the atmosphere of the discussion.

At this point, a student in the front row finally couldn't hold back any longer: "Teacher Li, if we keep going like this, is there really no way to defeat Shen Daodao?"

Li Sheng pointed his staff at Chu Xuan's other two beasts: "First of all, to contend with a level 6 Dragonblood Lion, only a level 5 Heavy Armored Insect King and a level 5 Darkblood Stone Golem working together!"

"Chu Xuan's two beasts have incredibly strong defenses. If they join forces, they can actually contend with a level 6 Dragon Blood Lion."

"Back then, those two beasts, relying on their powerful defenses, ignored the attacks from the beasts tamed by Ye Hao, another genius from our War God Academy, chasing him relentlessly..."

He had barely finished speaking when Ye Hao's head popped in through the doorway: "Teacher Li, you've insulted and slandered me like this! I won't stand for it!"

The whole class was stunned.

Chen Fan couldn't help but glance at Ye Hao a few more times.

Li Sheng was also stunned: "Ye Hao, how come you... are everywhere?"

Ye Hao rolled his eyes and walked to the back, sitting down next to Chu Xuan. He then said, "I came here to discuss with Chu Xuan how to deal with Shen Daodao. I just arrived and heard you mocking me."

Li Sheng said in a serious tone, "Ye Hao, you've misunderstood me."

"I'm just stating a fact."

"..." Ye Hao was furious.

Li Sheng continued, "As mentioned earlier, the Heavy Beetle King and the Dark Blood Stone Golem have extremely strong defenses, so with the powerful defenses of these two beasts, they can suppress the level 6 Dragon Blood Lion for a certain period of time."

"But this means the Desert Wind Eagle will have to face off against Shen Daodao's other two beasts."

"The Desert Wind Eagle can't stop those two beasts."

"Of course, if the Desert Wind Eagle just packs up and leaves, Shen Daodao's two tamed beasts will be helpless. But those two tamed beasts will definitely rush towards the Heavy Beetle King and the Dark Blood Stone Golem, and Chu Xuan will definitely be in a passive and defensive position."

"So, what should we do?"

Many students couldn't help but roll their eyes.

After all that talk, why are you back to square one?

Isn't this exactly what they want to hear your solution?

What do you mean by asking us newbies?

Li Sheng turned his gaze to Chen Fan, who was slumped over the table: "Chen Fan, everyone was enthusiastically sharing their opinions just now, why do you look so lifeless?"

"Stand up and share your thoughts."

Chen Fan stood up helplessly and said, "As for methods... I do have two."

"What?" Li Sheng and the others thought they had misheard.

Everyone discussed it back and forth until they were hoarse, but they still couldn't come up with a feasible solution.

You actually have two methods?

Do all people from the capital like to brag?
