Chapter 66 - 60: Lifeline Rope

"Everyone, analyze the recent video.

"Who will talk about the key factors you discovered in that battle?"

Dai Yuegui asked.

"Is the alien’s vulnerability its butt hole? So gross."

Liao Ji raised his hand.

"That’s right. According to intelligence, Baimei’s vulnerability is indeed the anus. But he seems to have used special methods to effectively defend this weak point, which isn’t good news for Divine Land Martial Artists as there hasn’t been an instance of invalid vulnerability before."

Dai Yuegui nodded.

He was genuinely worried.

Based on Li Xingpei’s strength, knowing the opponent’s vulnerability should have made the battle much easier.

The only possibility is that the opponent has found a way to defend the vulnerability.

Li Xingpei struck at the vulnerability, and the opponent was injured, but why was the result ineffective?

This is a big issue.

Su Yue sighed inwardly.

When Dr. Jiu Mao was alive, he probably developed a potion that could disguise the Yangxiang Race’s vulnerability.

But this potion shouldn’t be plentiful; otherwise, only Baimei and Fenjiao would have it.

Earth Martial Artists aren’t dumb. They would suspect the opponent is hiding their vulnerability, but with Dr. Jiu Mao’s camouflage and Baimei’s superb acting skills, they could mislead the Earth Martial Artist’s thinking.

Unfortunately, I don’t dare to speak out recklessly.

"Instructor, can the alien’s hair extend infinitely?"

Gong Ling asked with a furrowed brow.

In the recent battle, Baimei’s green hair left a deep impression.

"That type of green hair is the Yangxiang Race’s main body weapon, called the Life Rope.

"The stronger they are, the more life ropes they can release, and the more solid they become. When Yangxiang Race members cooperate, they can weave their life ropes into a net like a spider, ultimately forming a barrier, which is akin to a moving fortress.

"You’ve seen the solidity of the life rope, even a Sixth-Grade Grandmaster can’t easily cut it.

"So, the aliens are strong, and Earth Martial Artists have a long way to go."

Upon Dai Yuegui’s words, everyone looked solemn.

Life Rope.

Su Yue’s mouth was dry.

After transforming, I also have green hair; is that a life rope too?

"Of course, Baimei is a Fifth-Grade alien; his life rope differs from the typical Yangxiang Race. When you go to college, you’ll only face first or second-grade enemies. Those aliens’ life ropes can’t compare to Baimei’s, so don’t get too disheartened."

Dai Yuegui added an explanation.

"Instructor, is it really so difficult for our human Martial Artists to kill aliens?"

Zhou Yuncan asked worriedly, patting Oyster Sauce’s head.

"This situation is special; the battle took place in the city. The commander was somewhat constrained, but in the wetland, humans are free from restrictions and can be completely unrestrained.

"Moreover, Earth Martial Artists choose different cultivation directions during training.

"Just like your current basic training, there are those who excel at weight-bearing training, running training, or injury endurance training, which are all cultivation directions.

"Earth Martial Artists are good at coordination. If it were a mission team earlier, there would be dedicated defensive Martial Artists to distract the opponent, followed by long-range Martial Artists striking the vulnerability, while Li Xingpei, who balances speed and power, engaged in hand-to-hand combat.

"With effective coordination, Earth Martial Artists have accomplished many victories against the odds."

Dai Yuegui explained.

"I see, so Martial Artists have specialized attributes!"

Everyone nodded.

"The so-called specialization is merely the direction of Martial Artists’ tactical training. After all, one’s energy is limited, and when you train in speed tactics, you can’t simultaneously focus on defense. The wetland’s conditions are complex and unique, with no time for Martial Artists to all become all-around warriors.

"In this scenario, each Martial Artist excels in different areas, but when they coordinate, they form versatile teams.

"Of course, there are exceptions.

"If you have exceptional talent, you can learn any tactic easily, and you can become an all-around Martial Artist. But only a few such individuals have emerged over hundreds of years."

Dai Yuegui wrote four specializations on the blackboard.

Speed.

Defense.

Attack.

Long-range.

Simple enough for anyone to understand.

Due to the wetland’s uniqueness, long-range isn’t about shooting guns but using long-range cold weapons.

Bows, slingshots, crossbows, catapults are counted.

But it’s the most challenging.

Su Yue nodded.

Previously, Xu Baiyan had briefly mentioned a few things to him.

The distinction between specializations is merely a difference in tactical direction, with no strict definitions.

The wetland is a battlefield, not a place for lone heroes to show off.

Separating specializations maximizes combat effectiveness.

It’s said that after becoming a Grandmaster, these specialization divisions gradually blur.

Specialization distinctions are actually a way to protect lower-level Martial Artists.

"We’ll conclude the combat analysis course here; too advanced content is not useful for you now.

"Now we’ll split into divisions, and tomorrow we’ll start the special training officially."

Dai Yuegui delineated four areas.

...

The Defense specialization, which involves taking hits, has the fewest people, not even five.

The strength ranges widely.

Apart from Liao Ping, the other four are all 9-card students.

A non-mainstream 17-card student leading four 9-card students, it’s a bizarre scene.

The Attack specialization is relatively balanced.

Liao Ji unsurprisingly chose this group, along with some 12-card and above students.

Speed specialization!

Zhou Yuncan led Oyster Sauce and nearly ten others; this group isn’t numerous nor scant.

Finally, the Long-range specialization.

There’s only one person... Gong Ling.

"Uh, my family is a hunting clan, and supposedly in the era of technology, a few ancestors were Olympic shooting champions. Though there is no hunting or Olympics now, I was exposed to archery from a young age; archery belongs to cold weapons."

Gong Ling hurriedly explained.

Honestly, standing alone in the Long-range group was quite awkward.

"You should be proud.

"On the battlefield, a Long-range Martial Artist receives more favor."

Dai Yuegui, quite surprised.

Long-range Martial Artists require the most talent.

"Then I..."

Gong Ling hesitated.

She wanted to ask whether, as the lone representative in the potential class, she would receive special advantages, such as more Qi Blood Pills.

"Join the Speed specialization for training first; as a Long-range Martial Artist, you need to run fast to survive."

Dai Yuegui advised.

Gong Ling was frustrated; so no special favors.

Dai Yuegui felt exasperated too.

I’ve led many classes, and there are hardly any students in the Long-range specialization. I don’t even know how to train them; let’s wing it for now, college is your place."

"Class leader, why are you standing there?"

Finally, everyone’s gaze fell on Su Yue.

He hadn’t yet chosen his special training direction.

Su Yue was contemplating.

Speed specialization, I’ve been practicing Cursed Step already, no need for more training.

Attack specialization, basic blade skills can bring plenty of rewards and Qi Blood; joining this training is also unnecessary.

Long-range specialization.

That’s just nonsense.

Eventually, only Defense specialization was left.

Fine, Defense specialization it is.

Taking hits can train Qi Blood and earn rewards.

In case of danger, being tough is also a crucial survival skill.

"I choose the Defense specialization."

Upon Su Yue’s decision, everyone was surprised, even Dai Yuegui was taken aback.

He expected Su Yue to choose Attack or Speed specialization.

Long-range specialization aside, it had too few members.

Defense specialization is usually chosen by those with low aptitude or for personal reasons.

But since it’s Su Yue’s choice, Dai Yuegui had no objections.
