Chapter 1019 - 404: The Three Great Mercenary Corps (Part 2)

"Not only can’t kill him, but the harder you hit him, the stronger the damage he turns around and hits the enemy."

"That’s also why he became one of the three major mercenary corps."

Liang Yuan frowned and asked, "Can he absorb and release any damage? Even spiritual power damage?"

"Yes." Zhou Wanxi nodded.

Liang Yuan was momentarily speechless; this really is an unsolvable superpower.

"Such a person, not joining the Ice Armor Soldier Legion? Not being recruited by the Master of Fog City?"

Zhou Wanxi said, "I heard Huang Mingkai himself didn’t want to join the Ice Armor Warriors; he thinks being in charge himself is better, no need to be someone else’s subordinate."

Liang Yuan had nothing to say; being one’s own boss is certainly good, but now he lives on someone else’s turf, it’s far from being a boss.

Isn’t this self-deception?

"What’s the situation with the Celestial King Mercenary Corps?" he asked again.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wanxi said, "The leader of the Celestial King Mercenary Corps is called Li Jing; this mercenary corps’s name is derived from his name."

"King Tote?" Liang Yuan asked.

"Yes."

Liang Yuan smiled, "Continue."

"This leader, Li Jing’s superpower is [True and False Special Effects]."

Liang Yuan was again surprised; this is yet another superpower he had never heard of.

"What does it mean?"

Zhou Wanxi said, "This person can use superpowers to influence the surrounding environment, forming illusions like movie special effects."

"But it’s worth mentioning that these special effect illusions are not all false; some are real, some are fake, unpredictable."

"Among the three leaders, this person’s superpower is the most mysterious."

Liang Yuan asked, "Special effect illusions... are they spiritual illusions?"

"No, it truly changes the environment, deceiving sight, hearing, even spirit is influenced."

"And within these special effects, hidden real attacks."

Liang Yuan couldn’t help remembering the old Elder Lin.

If speaking of special effect illusions, his earliest encounter was Elder Lin’s Golden Light Technique.

The various attacks conjured by the old man’s Golden Light Technique were extremely realistic.

He even relied on this move to intimidate the Strength Superpower User Deng Hu on the same floor.

However, Elder Lin’s Golden Light Technique effects could only scare people, without any real attack power.

Meanwhile, Li Jing’s [Special Effects] superpower actually mixed in real attacks, that truly is impressive.

Key is, this special effect isn’t creating illusions in the enemy’s mind with spiritual power.

But a genuine change of environment, affecting sight and sound, creating an Illusion Realm.

Liang Yuan was not feeling for the first time the diversity of superpowers.

"I wonder if Elder Lin were still alive, deeply exploring his Golden Light Technique, could it become like Li Jing’s superpower."

Then Liang Yuan shook his head, discarding the thought.

Thinking about such possibilities has no meaning now, as Elder Lin is already dead.

After everyone’s analysis and introduction, Liang Yuan sorta understood the Mist Forest.

The three major mercenary corps are not good ones, guarding the only river port.

These ships wanting to shore must first enter the port.

So regardless, they must battle these mercenary corps.

Liang Yuan quickly thought about how to deal with the capabilities of these three leaders.

The abilities of these three are strong, not weak.

Their superpowers are very special, never seen before, not knowing what tricks they could play in actual combat.

"Do you have any good tactics against these three?"

As the saying goes, pooling ideas is wise. Liang Yuan thought for a while, having a plan in his mind, but still wanted to hear suggestions from these captains.

After all, these people are also seasoned veterans.

Especially since they’ve mixed around here so long, must’ve thought many times on dealing with the three mercenary corps leaders.

Just from their understanding of these three mercenary corps leaders’ strength information explains everything.

Not far off, Zhang Hengliang immediately said, "Mr. Liang, regarding Li Kun from the Sharp Sword Corps, I have an idea."

Liang Yuan nodded, "Go ahead."

"After this person transforms, becoming Fire Qilin, can control flames, power is boundless, and has some defense ability, I considered water overcoming fire, maybe several Water Attribute Superpower Users could team up, perhaps suppress him."

Zhang Hengliang himself is a Water Attribute Superpower User, so he has indeed thought through many times how to use his superpower against Li Kun.

The offered plan of water overcoming fire isn’t bragging, but truly has some feasibility.

Now is the Great Flood era, rain never stops, Water Attribute Superpower Users inherently have advantage, could be said as having endless ’ammo.’

Water Attribute Superpower Users, in Great Flood era, could truly be considered the version’s son.

In open-air combat, Li Kun is definitely at a disadvantage.

Liang Yuan slightly nodded, this plan is alright.

To be honest, among the three leaders, Li Kun is the one Liang Yuan worries least.

The so-called transformation into Fire Qilin, controlling flames, power boundless, in Liang Yuan’s view, not an advantage at all.

He can also control flames; regarding defense, he has Hundred Rivers and Seas, Spirit Turtle Shield, all countering flame attacks.

And regarding strength, Liang Yuan is even more unconcerned.

He has now broken genetic limits, Strength Attribute has reached 50 Points, with any time to draw and add points.

Even without adding points, he has [Muscle Burst], [Qi Burst] and other skills to amplify power.

His instant explosive strength even reached over 100 Points.

Li Kun’s strength however strong, how to compare with him?

So to Liang Yuan, handling Li Kun is actually the easiest.

He is more concerned about how to deal with Huang Mingkai and Li Jing!

The superpowers of these two are oddly rare, fearing getting nothing from hard approaches.

"Alright, this plan is good, anyone else has ideas?" Liang Yuan asked.

Others immediately shared their thoughts.

But most talked about dealing with Li Kun.

Instead of plans for Huang Mingkai and Li Jing, very few voiced opinions.

Until Tang Dechang from the SS Dechang’s bow spoke out, offering a plan against Huang Mingkai, instantly opening Liang Yuan’s mind!

"Mr. Liang, I thought of a tactical plan against Red Star leader Huang Mingkai."

Liang Yuan looked at Tang Dechang, the middle-aged man’s hairline had moved back a lot, looking like a simple fellow.

During the lively discussions just now, he hadn’t offered opinions, appearing like not competing, leaving an impression on Liang Yuan.

Now he suddenly spoke up, Liang Yuan immediately focused his attention.

"Oh, let’s hear it."

Others also paused, looking at Tang Dechang.

Everyone aware of Huang Mingkai’s [Damage Absorption] difficulty, now hearing Tang Dechang has a solution, couldn’t help showing attention.

Tang Dechang said, "Huang Mingkai’s ability is [Damage Absorption], and he can also explode the absorbed damage out, becoming his attack increment."

"With such superpower, fighting him fiercely makes him more powerful."

"So we must go against the norm, not hitting him too hard."

The crowd was stunned.

Someone immediately asked, "Not attacking him, how to make him surrender?"

"Exactly, can’t exactly talk him to death."

Some people muttered.

This remark amusing people no doubt.

Liang Yuan didn’t smile, but rather thought deeply.

He already understood Tang Dechang’s intention, immediately asking, "Are you a Wood Attribute Superpower User?"

Tang Dechang nodded, introducing, "Yes, Mr. Liang. I can manipulate plant vines, control enemies."

Liang Yuan realized, "You mean, controlling Huang Mingkai, capturing without killing?"

Tang Dechang nodded again, praising, "Indeed clever, Mr. Liang, this is my idea."

"Huang Mingkai can absorb damage, and can add these damages when released to explode, becoming a powerful attack."

"Then we’ll go against the norm, only need to control him, find ways to trap him, so as to avoid his superpower’s counterattack."

Liang Yuan slightly nodded, eyes shining, Tang Dechang’s strategy is indeed good, capturing without killing is very targeted against Huang Mingkai’s superpower.

Huang Mingkai can absorb damage, but I don’t hurt you at all, what can you do?

Tang Dechang’s idea also broadens Liang Yuan’s thinking.

He has the [Puppet Threads] such top-tier control class skill.

To control Huang Mingkai is too easy.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but laugh.

"This method is good, I credit you with one merit."

Then Liang Yuan asked, "Regarding Li Jing’s superpower, does anyone have a good plan?"

The crowd instantly sunk into silence.
