Chapter 170: The Battle of Fame (4)
However, even if the Thunder Soul Warriors go together with each other, they cannot fundamentally change the essential defect of the Thunder Soul Warrior, at most they can only reduce the losses caused by this defect.
This flaw is the "Thunder and Lightning Kai" (or the slightly more artistic and domineering "Thunder Eight Desolations", "Thunder God Descending" and other defensive martial arts that combine the true elements of thunder and lightning) that are used. The Ning family's education pays the most attention to reality, under such a family education, Ning Wujian is naturally a very practical person, he doesn't like these bells and whistles, so he simply named his martial arts "Thunder and Lightning", and even more earthy "Thunder and Lightning Armor" Once the time limit is extended, or when you are ready to deliver a fatal blow to your opponent and are dodged by the enemy, the balance of battle will slowly tilt in favor of your enemy, not you.
In actual combat, such an all-round "thunderbolt triumph" can often only withstand the enemy's most effective attack.
If the enemy is attacking you, a certain sword move is a false move, or a combination of virtual and real sword moves, then it will naturally lead to you having to condense the true element on the surface of the body all the time in order to defend.
It is conceivable that under such a duel, you will always be passive, because you will never know when your opponent will make a real move, when he will make a false move, from what angle will he make a real move, from what angle, how many false moves will there be among the sword moves, and how many real moves will there be?
If you can't control the battle situation, you won't be able to win at all.
Therefore, the Thunder Soul Warrior had to rely on traveling in company to reduce the mortality rate.
However, Ning Wuji's "Thunder and Lightning Kai" was able to fight for a long time, and in the afternoon duel, he never showed any flaws.
This has to make people think, why is this? Why was Ning Wujian able to cast the "Thunder and Lightning Armor" for a long time, but in the end he didn't move, could it be that the true yuan in Ning Wuji's body was infinite? Or maybe Ning Wuji's martial arts strength had exceeded their imagination and already had the true yuan capacity of the sword master's level?
What kind of martial realm secrets is hidden in Ning Wuji's body?
Before, the old man who watched the battle guessed that Ning Wujian had been favored by the heavens and opened the meaning of his second martial realm, and he was lucky to have a water soul true element that was mutually exclusive to the Thunder Soul True Element, and the continuity of the Water Soul True Yuan just made up for this series of defects.
For this explanation, Xiahou Wan agreed very much at first, after all, it was only taken literally, this was a very reasonable explanation, and she also believed that Ning Wujian had such a talent, and he was indeed a chosen son.
In addition to such an explanation, there were also old men who speculated that Ning Hongyuan had already broken through the strength of the Great Sword Master's martial realm, so his true yuan capacity was beyond the imagination of ordinary people, so he was able to perform this defensive martial art for such a long time.
However, as the observation deepened, Xia Houwan gradually began to doubt the belief in this explanation after explanation.
Because, she always felt that this explanation was too far-fetched, after all, the Thunder Soul True Yuan and the Water Soul True Yuan were indeed irreconcilable in the human body, and they would inevitably be mutually exclusive in the human body, which was confirmed by the countless experiments she had done before, could it be said that Ning Wujian could violate this law of martial arts, could it be that Ning Wujian was really the chosen son?
Even if the Chosen Son is favored by the heavens, I am afraid that he will not be able to change this law of the martial realm.
As the future star of the Xiahou family, Xiahou Wan naturally observed very little, and she naturally knew very well in her heart that if she wanted to defeat Ning Wujian, she had to think and deduce repeatedly, and only by figuring out the secret of Ning Wujian's defensive martial arts could she have a chance to defeat him.
Therefore, she planned to find a breakthrough from other aspects, trying to explain the mystery of the "Thunder and Lightning Armor" cast by Ning Wujian with a more reasonable conclusion.
This is the direct reason why she chose to watch the game until the last minute to challenge Ning Wuji.
Relying on the innate advantages brought by the Xiahou family's ancestral pupil technique "Blood Soul Eye", Xiahou Wan found that Ning Wuji's "Thunder and Lightning Armor" was fundamentally different from the traditional "Thunder and Lightning Armor" after an afternoon of careful observation, that is, compared to the ancient tactic of "all-round defense", Ning Wuqian should adopt "fixed-point defense".
"Fixed-point defense", as the name suggests, is that when one's body feels a crisis somewhere, it gets instantaneous sensing through a keen nervous system, and condenses the thunder and lightning true element at that moment "above the fixed point", so as to resist the enemy's effective attack.
Compared with "all-round defense", "fixed-point defense" obviously has great advantages.
First of all, the "fixed-point defense" cracks the enemy's misleading method by taking a combination of virtual and real moves, that is, no matter whether the enemy is a false move or a real move at that moment, you can rely on the "fixed-point defense" to effectively resist.
As long as you can skillfully control your own body, skillfully control the power of the true element of the thunder soul in your body, and skillfully control this special defense system, through eternal and repeated practice, then, no matter what kind of combination of virtual and real the enemy takes in the attack, you will be cracked one by one, after all, "fixed-point defense" is to carry out instantaneous defense by sensing the strength of the enemy's sword moves, not as blind as "all-round defense", which consumes a huge amount to form an unreserved defense.
This saves you a lot of true element power, so that you can make full use of these true element power to form an "absolute defense", and these saved true element power can allow you to turn defense into offense, and gradually control the initiative of the battle, instead of just passively being beaten, and when the enemy's true element is exhausted, when the enemy is physically and mentally exhausted, launch a sudden blow and inflict the most deadly blow to the enemy.
This is the advantage of fixed-point defense, and the most powerful advantage is the ability to control the initiative in battle.
In addition to this advantage, "fixed-point defense" has a unique advantage over "all-round defense", that is, it is more effective.
As we all know, in a military campaign, if you can concentrate your own forces to strike at the enemy's weak links, then you can firmly control the initiative in the war.
This can also be reversed, if you are unaware of the enemy's key offensive direction and blindly adopt all-round defense, then the enemy will be given an opportunity to concentrate forces and break down your defense, which is a blind and inefficient defense method.
For example, suppose that in a war, you have 50,000 troops, you have five fortresses to defend, and the enemy also has 50,000 people, and you adopt an "all-round defense" strategy, evenly distribute military forces, and allocate 10,000 people to each fortress, and no matter which of your fortresses the enemy attacks, you must fight against those 50,000 people with 10,000 people, and then your army has formed a situation of "surrounded" and "flanked" in a short period of time, and the victory or defeat of the war can be imagined.
Gathering absolutely superior forces in a short period of time to carry out targeted and lightning-fast strikes is a military technique called "blitzkrieg."
Of course, the mystery in the art of war is far better than the duel in battle, but at this point, the principle of concentrating on attacking the enemy's weak link can naturally also be applied to the duel in the martial realm.
If the "true element capacity" is compared to "combatants", then this kind of concentrated forces to carry out lightning-like fixed-point strikes, and this reason, in turn, is naturally "fixed-point defense".
In the martial arts world, this martial arts knowledge may be difficult for ordinary people to understand, but for Xiahou Wan, who has opened the "Blood Soul Eye", the true yuan changes that have occurred in Ning Wuji's body this afternoon can't be hidden from her.
She carefully observed every duel this afternoon, and every time when those challengers made a move, the moment the blade came into contact with the thunderbolt, she keenly sensed the drastic changes in the true element produced by Ning Wuji's cell tissue under the body part that was hit through the "Blood Soul Eye".
Although this change is fleeting, it can't escape the tracking of Xiahou Wan's "Blood Soul Eye".
This special pupil power called "Blood Soul Eye" has already allowed Xiahou Wan to surpass the vast majority of young people of the same age, and even many old people are very envious of this special pupil power of the Xiahou family.
It is precisely because of this that the young children of the Xiahou family are often held hostage by some inexplicable assassins, gouging out their eyes and transplanting them to others, but none of this transplantation experiment has been successful, otherwise, the Xiahou family will not continue to Xiahou Wan's generation.
Over time, those behind the scenes will no longer do such a thankless thing, after all, it is also extremely risky, if in the end it is a bamboo basket for nothing, who will do it?
As for the function of Xiahou Wan's "Blood Soul Eye" pupil technique, it is to be able to detect the flow of true yuan in the opponent's body, so that he can gain the initiative in the duel, and naturally he can also watch the battle silently from the sidelines and detect Ning Wuji's secret.
And compared with Ning Hongyuan's "Tianxuan Eye", the visual effect of "Blood Soul Eye" is clearer.
Further, Ning Hongyuan's "Tianxuan Eye" can only detect the changes in the true element in the opponent's body through the two colors of black and white, but the "Blood Soul Eye" is different, this pupil technique can use seven different colors to distinguish the true element in the opponent's body, and even screen, and then judge the capacity of the opponent's true element power through the depth of the color.
