A battle technique is a combat skill that achieves special effects through specific methods of True Qi circulation.
Jiang Ke’er had always believed the opponent used some method to control the air at will, such as using consciousness or controlling it with True Qi leaving the body.
But she had never found any trace of True Qi or consciousness manipulating the wind, leaving her completely clueless no matter how much she wanted to imitate it.
Thinking carefully, the System Dummy had never used any battle techniques.
Even when its realm improved, it only increased the dummy’s cultivation base and computing power.
At most, in the Five Elements Realm, it allowed her to carry a copied version of the Alluring City Sword.
So what if this wasn’t a battle technique either?
And why didn’t the System Dummy use this wind-controlling ability before reaching the Three Talents Stage?
Looking at the variables brought by realm advancement, the dummy only changed in cultivation base and computing power.
But when using this wind-controlling ability, the dummy didn’t consume any cultivation base at all!
In other words, the essence of the problem is… computing power!
It was the increase in computing power that enabled the dummy to use such wind-controlling ability after reaching the Four Symbols Realm!
“My god, no way?!”
Jiang Ke’er was stunned.
If this speculation was true… then the dummy must have been noticing every detail of the surrounding environment and the entire battlefield!
Then, based on these details, it judged the airflow direction at every location and the changes brought by the chaotic currents of battle.
Next, through a mentally simulated airflow movement map, it planned a completely advantageous combat strategy for the next steps.
However, airflow changes constantly, so she must maintain full computing power at all times, determining the changes in chaotic currents caused by every point in the battle and updating her judgment immediately.
Furthermore, she might even lay groundwork several moves in advance, actively changing or arranging airflow channels through a specific action.
Jiang Ke’er’s head felt like it was about to explode just imagining that process, let alone fully implementing such high-load computations.
Sadly, at this moment, she had no second path to choose.
Her computing power was probably insufficient.
Dodging a sudden thrusting attack from the revived Fifth Seat, Jiang Ke’er pulled out a large bottle of medicine.
The effect of this drug was similar to adrenaline, but it acted entirely on the brain, making her calmer and speeding up her brain’s operation.
But the side effects were also severe—it could cause permanent damage to the brain.
The brain is such a fragile area that even with her medical arts, treating it would be very troublesome.
Moreover, if the damage was too severe, she might even forget how to treat illnesses, let alone treat herself.
Jiang Ke’er carefully poured out one pill from the large bottle.
One pill was her limit.
But… one pill wasn’t enough!
Gritting her teeth, Jiang Ke’er threw her head back and gulped down the entire bottle of over a hundred pills at once!
The drug took effect instantly. Jiang Ke’er felt the entire world become clear.
In comparison, her previous self was practically an idiot!
This stuff was highly addictive, but Jiang Ke’er couldn’t care less now… If her teammates’ sacrifices couldn’t bring victory, what face did she have to keep living?!
However, even so, Jiang Ke’er still couldn’t guarantee she could handle such massive computations.
She had no experience and was relying solely on her own speculation.
But she had no other choice.
Jiang Ke’er fought while retreating, not engaging the two Dao Seat assassins surrounding her.
After being revived and empowered by the Wheel of Reincarnation fragment, these two Dao Seats were no weaker than at their peak! They even fought fearlessly, unafraid of pain or injury, continuing to attack even with their heads severed!
Jiang Ke’er currently didn’t have the strength to fight them head-on; she could only look for opportunities.
She had no confidence in her heart, but she had no choice but to try anyway.
“Coward!”
“Chicken!”
“Trash!”
“Running is useless, die already, you demonic talent!”
Seeing Jiang Ke’er constantly fleeing, stubbornly surviving from the brink of death, just not dying, noisy shouts couldn’t help but come from the spectator stands.
Jiang Ke’er was furious, but she had to block out these sounds, focusing on feeling and guiding the flow of the wind.
She originally wanted to perceive the wind’s flow direction through sound feedback, but the noise from the stands severely hindered her perception.
She had to confirm the wind channels by observing details and using her Divine Sense.
An image of the airflow within the arena had already formed in her mind.
This image changed constantly, with new variables continuously added, requiring massive computing power to maintain.
Jiang Ke’er felt a splitting headache, but looking at this image, she still didn’t feel the slightest bit relieved.
She didn’t know if this map was right or wrong.
Airflow is extremely complex, filled with all sorts of butterfly effects.
With even the slightest deviation, the entire map would become a completely wrong, useless thing.
But even if it was wrong, she had to grit her teeth and go for it!
At this moment, Qiao Xiaoxian was covered in wounds.
The tail-swinging phantom she released when protecting Jiang Ke’er the first time consumed half of her spiritual power.
Afterwards, to entangle the opponents, preventing the two from supporting the other Dao Seats and attacking Jiang Ke’er… she was forced to use an extremely aggressive fighting style, even willing to trade injuries to deny the opponents any breathing room.
If not for that, she could have easily defeated these two. But there were no ifs… her current condition wasn’t much better than Jiang Ke’er’s, her body covered in wounds from bamboo stabs.
Although Shi Yue’s legs were paralyzed, he was skilled in earth evasion, burrowing and weaving underground, slippery as an eel.
Until now, Qiao Xiaoxian hadn’t been able to inflict any damage on him.
“Move!”
A suddenly rising aura made Qiao Xiaoxian start slightly. She turned her head and saw Jiang Ke’er abruptly stop her fleeing figure.
In the next instant, Jiang Ke’er’s figure dissipated on the spot like a gust of wind, disappearing without a trace.
Qiao Xiaoxian only felt a faint shadow brush past her.
Then came the explosive gale stirred up by that figure’s high-speed movement! It blew so hard she could barely keep her eyes open!
The gale carried with it the dismembered limbs and fragments of the Fifth and Ninth Seats.
No one saw how they ended up like that, or even when they turned into that state!
This clearly wasn’t something a single sword slash could produce, but… in an instant! They were reduced to such minced meat!
What on earth happened?!
Shi Yue was just about to use earth evasion to avoid the trouble when his entire body suddenly froze.
Not far from his side, the Eighth Seat burly man’s body also completely stiffened.
Then came the terrifying gale, half a beat late!
The gale crashed against Shi Yue and the Eighth Seat’s bodies, revealing their true state—uniform chunks of meat were swept into the gale, splattering and thudding raining against the barrier like hailstones!
The barrier had long been overwhelmed, shattering into pieces under this bombardment far exceeding any previous Shenzhou Cup in intensity.
The audience below hadn’t figured out what happened yet; they were still searching for Jiang Ke’er’s figure.
Then they saw that gale, somehow, eerily blowing toward the spectator stands!
“This batch of spectators is no good.”
A cold voice came through the air.
“See you in the Underworld Province.”
