Chapter 15: Nonsense is useless; strength is everything.
Surrender and admit defeat?
Yu Xiaolie spoke calmly, giving a reply that surprised everyone present.
The reactions of the people present were varied.
Most disciples thought only one word: absurd.
The sect leader asked you to give your opinion, what's the meaning of your passive attitude?
The third brother, Yu Xiaozhen, had a stiff expression. He never expected that his second brother would be so perfunctory in answering his grandfather's question.
Yu Xiaogang muttered to himself, "My second brother is such a reckless fellow. It's a good thing he was born into the Yu family, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to become a commoner soul master in this lifetime."
Second Master glared at him and scolded, "You're so irresponsible."
Sect Master Yu Zhentian's expression remained grim and unchanged.
It's a bit unreasonable to expect Yu Xiaolie, with such a useless martial soul, to think from the perspective of a power-attack type.
Therefore, he did not expect to hear any good answers.
In fact, he wouldn't care too much about Xiaolie's answer.
Originally, I just brought him along on this trip.
This is also why Xiao Lie said it casually; he is a man of few words and has never liked to talk nonsense.
Despite racking their brains to present themselves in the face of Yu Zhentian's preconceived notions, even if they come up with a perfect solution, it will not change his status in the clan.
It's better to focus on cultivation; in the Douluo Continent, strength is everything.
However, Yu Xiaolie was not without his own thoughts on the situation on the field.
Seeing how difficult the aloof woman was, he immediately considered his own situation and how to deal with her offensive.
If he were to face the cold woman, there was a high chance that her control would be ineffective, and he would absorb the soul power contained in the frost.
The longer the delay, the more disadvantageous it will be for the other party.
The cold woman on the stage probably never imagined that a control-type Soul Master whose core strategy was to delay and wear down the opponent would encounter an opponent who could delay even longer.
Yu Xiaolie continued to calmly watch the match, shaking his head slightly as he watched.
If it were him, he would have surrendered immediately.
Because Da Biao is just too ugly!
Not only is it ugly, but its attack method relies purely on brute force. It's practically a carbon copy of a gorilla, lacking any aesthetic appeal whatsoever.
Such a contestant should just admit defeat; it's better to avoid being an eyesore on stage.
As Yu Xiaolie was deep in thought, the situation on the arena suddenly took an unexpected turn.
Da Biao understood Leng Nu's intention to exhaust his soul power. In order to conserve his soul power, he withdrew most of the released soul power, leaving only the minimum consumption required to maintain the existence of his martial soul.
He hasn't used his first soul skill, Giant Bear Paw, since he only relied on his physical strength to contend with the cold woman.
After all, although the opponent's control skills were troublesome, they couldn't threaten him for the time being, but the difference in their physical speed and strength was constant.
As time went on, beads of sweat began to appear on the cold woman's cheeks.
In order to create distance, she had to move and dodge frequently. The small amount of physical exertion accumulated into a terrifying amount.
Gradually, Da Biao's attacks were able to threaten within two meters of Leng Nu, forcing her to output more soul power and use more skills to restrict her opponent.
After a few more rounds, the cold woman on the stage began to pant, while Da Biao's momentum grew stronger and stronger, and he was still able to maintain a high intensity of attacks.
Seeing the turn of events, Second Master smiled and praised, "You should all learn from this Soul Master's approach. You can refer to it when you encounter control-type Soul Masters in the future."
"As we all know, the biggest drain on soul power for a power-attack type soul master is undoubtedly their various attack skills."
"What is easily overlooked is that if you don't use soul skills and just maintain the existence of your martial soul, the consumption of soul power is very small."
"On the contrary, when control-type Soul Masters are without Soul Skills, their Martial Soul body often lacks offensive and control means."
"This also means that as long as the battle is not over, the Cold Woman will need to keep releasing her soul skills."
"Even small amounts add up, and the consumption of soul power becomes unbearable."
"If this trend continues, I'm afraid that brown bear soul master will turn the tables."
After listening to the Second Master's analysis, the disciples of the Blue Lightning Sect suddenly understood.
Yu Xiaogang was also very excited: "Second Grandfather is right. I think that Frost Soul Master is already panting heavily. Once he is hit, even if it is just a normal physical attack, he probably won't be able to withstand it."
The reversal of the situation on the stage did not surprise Yu Xiaolie too much.
But he still didn't think highly of Da Biao; if it were him, he probably would have already intensified the attack.
"Now that Leng Nu's soul power is almost depleted, even the ice wall she summoned has weakened considerably. If we don't take a gamble now, what are we waiting for?"
"If this drags on, while Leng Nu's soul power is indeed insufficient, how much better can Da Biao's situation be, given that he's constantly releasing his martial soul?"
"Moreover, control-type soul masters usually spend more time practicing soul power manipulation than other soul masters. In other words, even if they only have a trace of soul power left, control-type soul masters can make full use of it."
"Comparing resource utilization to control-type strategies is something only a power-attack-type strategy would do if they were out of their mind."
As the two attacked and defended, the distance between them fluctuated.
"There was a time when Da Biao rushed to the closest distance to Leng Nu—less than a meter away, which happened to be the time when her soul power was broken."
"Now is the time to unleash all your soul power, accelerate the breakthrough of the control skill's limitations, and use a powerful attack soul skill to quickly deliver the final blow to the cold woman."
"A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he just wasted it. If we take a gamble, there's at least an 80% chance of ending the fight."
Da Biao on the field couldn't hear what Yu Xiaolie was thinking. He was still dreaming of exhausting Leng Nu's soul power, following his own plan.
However, although the opponent seemed to be running out of soul power and physical strength, he maintained control without interruption. On the contrary, his own soul power continued to decrease during the battle.
Seeing that he was at his last gasp, Da Biao chose to go all out. When he was still three meters away from Leng Nu, he used his last bit of soul power.
Unfortunately, the giant bear's paw still failed to hit him, and he collapsed to the ground due to exhaustion of his soul power and physical weakness.
"It's over! Congratulations to Leng Nv for achieving a seven-game winning streak in the 1V1 match!" The host's voice announced the result through the microphone.
What? Da Biao actually lost?
The Blue Lightning Sect disciples couldn't understand how the powerful offensive class, which had just been so strong, suddenly collapsed on the stage and was easily judged to have lost.
Sect Master Yu Zhentian showed disappointment on his face, and without saying a word, he got up and walked out of the private room.
It wasn't that I was disappointed that the offensive-type Soul Master lost the match, but rather that the fighting spirit of these Blue Lightning Sect disciples was exactly the same as that of Da Biao on the field. If these Blue Lightning Sect disciples had been on the field, the result would probably have been the same—a complete defeat.
Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang looked at Da Biao on the field with a disappointed expression and sighed:
"Sigh, how reckless. He could have easily won by dragging things out, but he insisted on using his soul skill. He didn't lose to his opponent, but to himself."
You clearly couldn't hold on and messed up when you tried to go all out. How the hell did you lose to yourself? Are you even more aware of the situation than the other Soul Masters on the field?
Yu Xiaolie thought to himself, but showed no emotion on the surface.
After all, my older brother has always been like this, always wanting to offer his opinions, and I've gotten used to it over the years.
