830 -31: Show Off Skills_2

The capabilities of the Soul Splitting Monster are only maximally utilized during the chaotic phase of a battle.

Tang Xian’s hand gestures continued to change, and the Red Emperor, closely observing this scene, noticed that members from both sides were continuously responding to his signals.

The timing when each sea creature released its skills was perfectly precise.

To the sea demons, this battle didn’t seem like the Mirror-horned Shark and Soul Splitting Monster were being commanded by anyone, but rather that both groups of sea beasts were performing beyond their levels.

Though it was a chaotic battle, the performance of each sea creature was impeccable.

Whether it was the Mirror-horned Shark or the Soul Splitting Monster, or any creature from either side, all were pushing their teams toward victory in the best ways possible.

The Red Emperor faintly guessed that all this was related to Tang Xian.

Junlin had long realized that all of this was orchestrated by Tang Xian.

But the key question was, how did Tang Xian manage it?

What surprised the Red Emperor the most was that within a mere day, this youngster had not only persuaded the sea creatures to split into two teams and battle separately, but had also planned the details of how they were to fight, and even what each gesture meant.

Such a task is indeed feasible, but how much time would it need?

Just understanding the fighting capability of each sea creature would take a considerable amount of time, wouldn’t it?

Not to mention positioning them in the most appropriate spots to stage the most spectacular and fierce battle.

Tang Xian indeed managed all of this.

Actually, for him it wasn’t difficult.

Li Xiaoyu once told Tang Xian that ever since she lost a game of chess seven years ago, she had grown fond of playing chess, yet she didn’t enjoy playing with others much.

Although a teacher instructed her, most of the time, Li Xiaoyu played chess against herself.

Knowing her next move and always being able to control the outcome of the game, but if each side moves in the most precise positions, predicting the final outcome becomes difficult.

This kind of situation is rather boring, because one of the pleasures of playing chess is competing with an opponent.

Tang Xian felt that now it was as if he was playing chess against himself, his left hand against his right.

While making the teams of both the Soul Splitting Beast and Mirror-horned Shark perform at 120% of their capacity.

In individual combat, Tang Xian may not understand their strengths and weaknesses better than they know themselves, but in group battles, the room for command and showing off strategic moves grows significantly.

In ancient times, there was a highly popular group competitive game, which developed into a professional sport, almost similar to the current situation.

What Tang Xian’s persuasion actually achieved were two things.

Firstly, it diminished the image of Junlin.

Yes, if too powerful, Junlin would inevitably be targeted.

To change the sea creatures’ view of Junlin, it was necessary to elevate his own authority above theirs.

Like ancient people always believing in experts, always sharing rumored videos, it all boils down to feeling their own credibility is less than experts or others.

But in their own domain, people are much more confident, and at such times, even if you bring in specialists or professors, they dare to challenge.

This is psychological warfare.

Firstly, it builds a perception in the opponent’s mind that you are smart, you are the authority.

This point isn’t difficult, as the only person who could remember all the details, capabilities, characteristics, weaknesses, and strengths of all the sea creatures was Tang Xian.

Especially in Junlin’s battle, only the Red Emperor and Tang Xian clearly saw Junlin’s actions, and when Tang Xian laid out the details of Junlin’s combat, supreme sea beasts like the Mirror-horned Shark and Soul Splitting Monster gradually started to believe in Tang Xian’s capability.

Besides—Tang Xian was on a winning streak just by lying down, the sea creatures weren’t dumb, who would genuinely think Tang Xian just relied on luck?

Transforming into human form reduces the power to one-sixth that of the beast form, meaning, Tang Xian, ranked twelfth, had till now only shown one-sixth of his capabilities, causing the sea creatures to trust Tang Xian’s words a bit more.

When Tang Xian outlined each sea creature’s combat characteristics, abilities, weaknesses, and strengths, their views completely changed—this is authority!

“Finally, we will all fight independently, and in that moment, everyone will win by ability, but before that, I hope we can join hands to deal with the greatest threat to us.”

This is what Tang Xian said during his negotiations, whether to the Mirror-horned Shark or to the Soul Splitting Monster.

When all the groundwork was laid and the psychological tactics were in place, everything would naturally fall into place.

Following this, Tang Xian began to establish various hand signals for commanding the battle.

When to use skills, when to group up, when a particular sea creature starts to roam, when to target the backline, and when to unleash powerful attacks.

It all felt just like playing a multiplayer competitive game.

The rarest aspect was that his designed gestures often had dual meanings.

For example, a wide-opening gesture meant “defense” to the Mirror-horned Shark, but “attack” to the Soul Splitting Monster. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Thus, no matter how Tang Xian gestured, and to which side, both sides never doubted him.

If there was any difficulty for Tang Xian in this operation, it was deciding who should win and how to use hand signals to precisely control the situation, creating a mutually destructive scenario.

But this so-called difficulty was only relative.

In Tang Xian’s view, there was already no suspense.

Under the influence of the ghost coral, once the battle commenced, the ferocious side of the sea creatures inevitably revealed itself.
