Chapter 182: Balance
“If it’s really the Seven-in-One Fusion Skill, then you’re in trouble!”
Master pondered for a moment, then said: “However, since we’ve learned about it in advance, using a targeted strategy specifically against their Seven-in-One Fusion Skill shouldn’t be a problem…”
Master wanted to say something more, but he also saw Cang Hui Academy not far away.
“We’ll talk about this later! Let’s watch the match first…”
Master had almost no doubt why Ling Mo knew Cang Hui Academy’s trump card.
He was quite familiar with Ling Mo! Over these years, every decision he made had the ability of foresight.
Ling Mo had also explained that his Dual Pupils could see through past and future, previous life and present life.
Although Master didn’t believe it, he also couldn’t prove that what Ling Mo said was false.
Because he really knew many things.
The Fighting Soul below had already begun, and Elephant Armored Academy and Thunder Academy were facing off directly.
Elephant Armored Academy had Hu Yanli as the main core, while Thunder Academy had Yu Tianxin as the main core.
The two sides fought to a standstill.
The observant Tang San discovered a problem and directly raised the doubt.
“Teacher, why do both of these teams follow extreme routes, abandoning Support Soul Masters and adopting powerful measures on the offensive end, all consisting of uniform attribute Soul Masters!”
Tang San discovered that both Elephant Armored Academy and Thunder Academy followed extreme routes.
“The difference between the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Two Great Empires lies here.
The way these five academies select team members is each extremely specialized, completely different from Star Luo Empire’s emphasis on balance.
This approach has both advantages and disadvantages. When they encounter opponents unable to counter their strengths, they can often kill the opponent in one strike.
But once they face opponents that counter them, they often lose quickly.”
“Balance? What is balance?”
Tang San asked again, but this time, it wasn’t Master who answered him, but Ling Mo.
“So-called balance means Soul Masters develop evenly toward balance.
The struggle between the two major schools in the Soul Master World: one represents balance, the other represents extreme.
The extreme school believes that a Soul Master’s abilities should follow a pure route as much as possible, developing in a single direction to maximize that single direction’s ability.
While the balance school believes that a Soul Master’s abilities should develop evenly, balancing offense and defense.
For example, Tailong’s Power Clan is purely an extreme power route.
And the so-called balance route is multi-faceted development: power, speed, defense.
These elements are the so-called development routes, and… to put it more complexly, like me.
Simultaneously possessing support, strong attack, control, and other diverse development directions—a comprehensive development route.
Each has its own characteristics; none is more outstanding. This is called balance…”
As soon as Ling Mo finished speaking, Master gave him a strange look. He was sure he hadn’t discussed these things with Ling Mo, yet Ling Mo understood them so thoroughly.
“I see!” Tang San said thoughtfully.
“The struggle between the two schools has always revolved around the two empires.
Heaven Dou Empire has always advocated the extreme development route, while Star Luo Empire emphasizes balanced development.
For example, Mu Bai possesses multiple development routes: power, speed, defense…”
Ling Mo said again, and Tang San and the others listened very attentively.
“What about Spirit Hall? What school does Spirit Hall advocate…”
Tang San suddenly remembered Spirit Hall, sandwiched between the Two Great Empires—what school did it belong to?
“Spirit Hall hasn’t indicated support for either school yet, perhaps supporting both!”
Ling Mo replied.
Spirit Hall is very complex, with all kinds of people, so it can’t be a single development route.
For example, powerful sects, due to bloodline reasons, mostly have similar Martial Souls, so their school affiliation can be determined.
But Spirit Hall is different; it gathers talents from all over the world, with all kinds of people inside, making it impossible to determine a school.
“However, their recent research direction seems to be a combination of both, the so-called fusion…
This is also why the Soul Master Competition champions have always been from Spirit Hall…”
Ling Mo mentioned another key point!
“Fusion? Then why don’t they propose it separately and publish it?”
Tang San asked doubtfully.
“Heh, you’re thinking too simply! Spirit Hall isn’t as simple as you imagine. The power struggles and Struggle for Desire inside aren’t something you can imagine.
It’s like, would you make your secrets public?”
Ling Mo mentioned something Tang San was most taboo about, and Tang San understood what Ling Mo meant.
“Of course not…”
Tang San said without hesitation.
“There you go. You don’t want to, and neither does Spirit Hall! After all, how could they spread something beneficial to their own strength…”
A very realistic problem: every sect hides its secrets; who would reveal them?
“If you put it that way, what about Ghost Gate? Which school does it support? What secrets does it have?”
Rongrong listened attentively and suddenly said playfully, hugging Ling Mo’s arm intimately.
“We don’t support any school, and we have no secrets…”
Ling Mo smiled meaningfully and didn’t answer the question directly.
Of course… he couldn’t answer.
Was he supposed to tell them that Ghost Gate belonged to another emerging school, the Grave Robbery school?
If he said that, he’d probably get beaten.
Moreover, it might cause panic.
If this spread, the entire Continent wouldn’t be peaceful; people would guard their ancestral graves nervously every day, fearing they’d be dug up.
And once it spread, to prevent ancestral graves from being dug, these people might band together against Ghost Gate, strangulating it in the cradle.
Regardless of whether you dig graves or not, just having that thought is sinful.
“Tch, acting mysterious!”
Rongrong was very dissatisfied; she was sure Ling Mo had some big secret in his heart.
The Fighting Soul below had ended, with Thunder Academy winning.
It had to be said that after the previous direct crush by Shrek Academy, Elephant Armored Academy’s morale was clearly weakened.
Facing the enemy head-on, they still lost to Thunder Academy.
Keep in mind, both academies followed the same extreme route.
Thunder Academy swept Elephant Armored Academy out with overwhelming force, which was truly shocking.
“This Yu Tianxin has something…”
Seeing the end, Ling Mo gave this evaluation.
In the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, only this Yu Tianxin was somewhat interesting; even Yu Tianheng wasn’t worth such an evaluation from Ling Mo.
Seeing the end, Zhu Zhuqing remained silent throughout. After the Fighting Soul ended.
“I’ll head back first!”
“Zhu Qing, wait for me…”
Rongrong also went back. The following Fighting Souls had no strong teams, so Zhu Zhuqing had no interest in watching further.
She was probably going back to cultivate. Originally, Ling Mo wanted to go back with them, but he saw an interesting person and didn’t go back immediately.
Recommend a good book.
