Volume 3: Star Tower Chapter 68 You stole my lines!
Tang Zheng's question was irrelevant, but that didn't mean Yang Yiyuan's answer was irrelevant.
Yang Yiyuan was just slightly stunned, then he hummed: "In the art of war, conquering the whole country is the best, and destroying the country is the second best; conquering the whole army is the best, and destroying the army is the second best; conquering the whole brigade is the best, and destroying the brigade is the second best; conquering the whole soldier is the best, and destroying the soldier is the second best; conquering the whole squad is the best, and destroying the squad is the second best... The best military operation is to attack the enemy's plans, the next best is to attack their alliances, the next best is to attack their soldiers, and the worst is to attack their cities..."
The last bit of doubt in Tang Zheng's heart also dissipated with Yang Yiyuan's skillful recitation.
So this is what “understanding” is?
Because, from the moment he stepped onto the ring, Tang Zheng was surrounded by Leng Zhan, who was superior to him in fame, strength and physique.
But Yang Yiyuan's gaze was on him for 70% to 80% of the time.
It was a look that Tang Zheng was very familiar with.
He had played the dungeon more than 10 times, and when he looked at the final boss, he had exactly the same look in his eyes.
"Where did you get the copy..." Leng Zhan frowned because of Yang Yiyuan's words.
Yang Yiyuan smiled but did not answer.
What Yang Yiyuan could recite by heart were the answers to the test questions that Tang Zheng had written on the examination paper when he entered Yisuli Academy.
At that time, the Cold War was not at Yisu Academy.
But soon after he returned, a copy of Tang Zheng's test paper was delivered to him.
Although he was more concerned with personal strength than with military tactics, he memorized this copy after only reading it twice.
"You're not going to tell me that you've been trying to 'attack the enemy's strategy' from the very beginning?" Tang Zheng thought of a possibility - he was leading others into a trap, and trapping himself at the same time.
"I'm still a long way from that." Yang Yiyuan did not deny it, but bowed deeply to Tang Zheng again.
Tang Zheng's face suddenly turned dark.
Yang Yiyuan, your mother is obviously stealing the lines!
In a situation like this, shouldn't he just wave his hand, comment on Yang Yiyuan's performance starting from the action of him sending the challenge, then look up at the sky at a 45-degree angle and say sadly "You're still a long way to go"?
As a result, before he could even finish his words, Yang Yiyuan acknowledged it first.
After all, you are a student of Dongyang Academy. Can you please not give in so quickly? At least give others a few lines!
"You just said that you intentionally caused my star power to go out of control." Yang Yiyuan asked again: "So, when you were restricted by their formation, you already knew what the formation was for?"
Tang Zheng smiled and shook his head: "You...guess."
The relationship between Yang Yiyuan and him was probably limited to their one encounter at the martial arts competition in the academy, so there was really no need to say more.
"In that case, I won't bother you anymore." Yang Yiyuan lowered his head again and didn't argue any further.
After all, he is a warrior from a top aristocratic school. Even if he still has a lot of questions to ask, Tang Zheng has already made it clear that he wants to leave. He can't possibly chase after him and keep pestering him, right?
Tang Zheng had just returned to the house to wash up when Tang Xiaotang and the others came over.
"Master, what's going on? I've been thinking about it for a long time but still can't figure it out. Can you tell us from beginning to end?" Tang Xiaotang was still a little worried.
The reason that made Tang Zheng act so "properly" must be something extraordinary.
Tang Xiaotang and the others also learned a lot about the composition of the formation from other warriors.
Immediately afterwards, Instructor Zou also rushed in.
When Instructor Zou heard that Yang Yiyuan did not construct a star power circuit, but used the star power extracted from Tang Zheng by the formation to fight against Leng Zhan, he almost overturned Yang Yiyuan's bed.
It is extremely dangerous to directly operate the star power without constructing a star power circuit!
Tang Zheng was almost ruined!
"Don't worry, I'll tell you slowly..." Tang Zheng asked them to sit down, then he rubbed his hair, "But it's only a few words, no matter how fast or slow it goes."
"Then tell me." Tang Xiaotang said.
"When Yang Yiyuan handed me the challenge, his action was targeting Leng Zhan. As a warrior from Dongyang Academy, it was the correct etiquette for him to give the challenge to the eldest son of Changyuan Leng Family. However, he did not do so. He wanted to cause Leng Zhan's displeasure with his disrespectful behavior and also disrupt ..." Tang Zheng saw that they were sitting so well, as if they were waiting to watch a movie, so he had to start from the beginning.
Leng Zhan was silent for a moment after hearing what he said, and then he said, "I don't quite understand. Can you say it again?"
Both Tang Xiaotang and Jiang Wuyan almost fell on the table.
Yang Yiyuan did it once, and Tang Zheng explained it again. Leng Zhan still didn't care much about the intention. It can only be said that Yang Yiyuan's opening scene was really a performance for dogs.
Tang Zheng simply used the word "separation" to repeat it to Leng Zhan, and then, under his cold and speechless gaze, he continued: "Their tactical goal was correct. They killed Xiao Tang in the first second, which did cause our offense and defense to be a little out of sync."
Everyone acknowledges this point.
Tang Xiaotang’s role in their team is really too important.
Apart from her, no one can restrict the opponent's actions. Moreover, if things don't work, she has the ability of starburst, which is unreasonably strong.
At the beginning, Dongyang Academy did play very well.
The goal is clear and the advance and retreat are reasonable.
The entire team is like the hands and feet of the same person, maintaining strong fighting spirit.
Although Tang Zheng's attack was well timed, reducing one of their attack points, their second target, Tang Zheng, also stepped into the battle formation they had set up.
It can be said that since the beginning of the war, the goddess of victory has been lifting her skirt towards Dongyang Academy.
After Tang Zheng was restrained, Yang Yiyuan used Tang Zheng's star power to fight. Since there was no need to construct a star power circuit, he forced Leng Zhan into a very embarrassed situation. Jiang Wuyan and Mo Xiaoxia both felt that they were unable to protect him.
But the Cold War finally stood.
Although he thought he could defeat his opponent in just a few moves, he just couldn't beat him no matter how hard he tried. That's when Yang Yiyuan's mentality started to go astray...
"Then what? Master, you still haven't told me what happened to you in the formation?" Tang Xiaotang asked.
"Oh, me." Tang Zheng touched his nose, "I'm doing an experiment."
"Do...an experiment?" Tang Xiaotang looked at him in confusion.
"I'm trying to figure out what the relationship is between the formation and the auspicious cloud above his head..."
"Didn't that auspicious cloud extract your star power?"
"I thought so at first, but after trying a few times, I found that it was not the case... It was the secret martial arts of the twins, but the star power circuits of their secret martial arts had not only three but four directions."
"What's the meaning?"
"I increased and decreased the star power in my body, and then looked at the effects of Yang Yiyuan's different martial arts. It was easy to find that there was only a star power circuit between Yang Yiyuan and me. He drew the star power from me and shot it out directly, without passing through his body..."
"Isn't that nonsense? How could it be possible to pass through his star vein... uh..." Tang Xiaotang was halfway through her words when she suddenly understood.
"The strength of my star veins is definitely enough for him to torment. Of course, he will get used to it after using it for a while."
"Well, then..."
"Then, he couldn't defeat the Cold War, so he had to use his ultimate move. At that moment, I gathered all my star power into one thing."
Jiang Wuyan was completely stunned: "So, his last big... 'ultimate move' used his own star power... and, in order to pursue speed, he didn't carefully construct the star power circuit?"
"Well, he was careless." Tang Zheng spread out his hands.
He did not say where he had gathered the star power.
They didn't ask about the Cold War.
Anything that can absorb a large amount of star power must be a warrior's trump card.
Since Tang Zheng didn't say anything, according to the rules they couldn't ask.
However, everyone understood how Yang Yiyuan finally got himself into trouble and caused slight damage to the star veins.
"Hmph, you're bringing trouble upon yourself." Tang Xiaotang didn't sympathize with Yang Yiyuan at all.
"That's not the case. After all, it was me who gave him the illusion that he could continue playing like this." Tang Zheng smiled.
Of course he could do this, because his star veins were in the Star-Seeking Tower and had been strengthened by the Star Lord himself. Although the star wall was thin, it was the basis for him to withstand the use of star power like Yang Yiyuan.
Unfortunately, Yang Yiyuan did not have the star wall made by the Star Lord himself...
And he vaguely felt that there seemed to be no problem, and in the fierce battle, he just went too far.
When he continued to play this way for his last martial art, he found that not a single star power seeped out of the auspicious cloud.
He moved all his star power, followed the star power circuit that was not carefully constructed, and went out...
With his star veins, how could he withstand such an impact?
So, it failed immediately.
"Then Tang Zheng, what's wrong with you?" Instructor Zou listened for a long time, but felt that he didn't hear the key point he wanted to hear.
"My star power was exhausted, and the star power circuit was automatically cut off... My star veins also suffered a little recoil." Tang Zheng waved his hand nonchalantly. It was really no big deal.
At least, compared to Yang Yiyuan's shock at the last moment, Tang Zheng was confident after repeated and patient experiments.
Instructor Zou couldn't help but think of what he heard in the audience...
"He seems to be smiling?"
Now, after hearing Tang Zheng say it again, he realized that Tang Zheng was indeed laughing.
However, he still got angry for a moment: "Try it in the formation, are you sure that Leng Zhan can really hold up?"
Tang Zheng was really unhurried, trying again and again, but he didn't think about how hard Leng Zhan was fighting with Yang Yiyuan outside the formation.
Leng Zhan felt that the fight with Yang Yiyuan was really exciting on the ring. Now when he heard Instructor Zou mention it, he felt that it seemed to be true.
At that time, Yang Yiyuan had a bunch of martial arts casually constructed from star power circuits, and they were directed at his face!
How did Tang Zheng know that he would definitely be able to hold on? He was still leisurely increasing and decreasing his star power in the formation...
Tang Zheng yawned and said with a smile: "Oh, cold war?"
