Chapter 463 Commanding is Awesome
Especially after killing an S-class monster, they were filled with joy mixed with surprise.
Is this still them?
They watched helplessly as the Black-Eyed Demon Lizard died by the sword.
This is an S-rank monster! If we follow the Trial Tower rules, it would take three to four days for a five-person team, with all members at the Nascent Soul stage, to grind down an S-rank monster.
This is still a well-coordinated team.
In holographic simulations, even death simply means returning to reality.
The desire to complete the game often outweighs the fear of death.
After all, it's just a holographic display; all you need to do is focus on killing the monster.
However, in reality, it is impossible to achieve such a high level of mental concentration.
Everyone has emotions.
They are afraid of death and often hesitate.
Through the back-and-forth between Li Lingzhong, Li Yu, and Long Aotian, they witnessed the deaths of the cultivators around them.
This time, their determination to survive overcame their fear. The monster's death was something they had fought desperately for.
No one dared to leave the group again; everyone was following Jiang He's orders.
Every cultivator in the group participated in the death of the Black-Eyed Demon Lizard.
Whether it's finishing off enemies, dealing high burst damage, or tanking damage in the front line.
Previously, twenty people could be divided into three groups.
After two people died, Jiang He merged the team.
The deaths of the demons left most cultivators in disbelief and questioning their own extraordinary strength. They also discovered that Jiang He could remember everyone's name and corresponding skill cooldowns, even more so than they themselves.
Cheng Yu couldn't help but glance at Jiang He several times.
The Academy Grand Competition is held every four years. Since 90% of the academies participate in the competition, many independent cultivators and some cultivators will repeatedly watch the live broadcast recordings of the Academy Grand Competition. With high emotional intelligence, they say it's to see the differences in educational levels and to exchange ideas; with low emotional intelligence, they say it's to steal knowledge.
As a cultivator participating in the academy's grand competition, Cheng Yu had naturally watched the competition videos several times in private.
Every time Cheng Yu reviewed how Wanjue Academy won first place, he would attribute the reason to the Wanjue Academy cultivators' own hard work and dedication.
He either couldn't see or, due to prejudice, overlooked Jiang He's contributions.
Cheng Yu had watched every battle, and Jiang He was among them, neither outstanding nor unremarkable.
Now he finally understood why Wanjue Academy was able to win first place in this competition.
He would never say that it was possible without Jiang He.
As long as the commander is there, the cultivators of Wanjue Academy will be there.
Having deeply felt Jiang He's command ability, Cheng Yu obediently shut up and didn't say a word.
The cultivators around them were curious, but seeing that Cheng Yu remained silent, they didn't say anything either.
Jiang He's command intensity is truly immense. Sometimes, she would just finish casting her ultimate spell, and then she would have to cast another spell that required chanting.
And importantly, Jiang He doesn't care at all what their positioning is.
For example, Jiang He knew that the person in the front row was a sword cultivator, but there were other skills besides swordsmanship, such as spells and long-range firearms attacks. As long as the cultivator knew them, Jiang He would let them use them.
Jiang He calmly directed the cultivators.
Under his command, it seemed like a loss wouldn't be complete if every cultivator wasn't squeezed dry of their last bit of value.
Under the intense output, another S-rank monster fell to the ground.
This time, they looked intently at the last three S-rank monsters.
Having already killed two, it's natural to kill a third and a fourth.
No one retreated or left; on the contrary, all the cultivators were eager to make their move.
"Commander, I can still go!" Cheng Yu immediately changed his form of address.
Apart from Cheng Yu, the other cultivators also looked at Jiang He expectantly.
"Command? I can do that too."
"I'm ready."
Li Ling watched as these cultivators went from being reluctant to being extremely excited.
She looked at Zhong Liyu with a complicated expression.
Spiritual practice should still be spiritual practice; those who are fickle and opportunistic are quick to change their minds.
Jiang He looked at the three remaining hidden Black-Eyed Demon Lizards and did not make any rash moves.
In her opinion, these three black-eyed lizards were much smarter than the first two.
The fact that two of its kind had been killed by a group of humans who considered them trash made the Black-Eyed Demon Lizard feel uneasy.
From stealth to swaggering around and attacking at will.
Only after they realized that all their attacks had been dodged did the Black-eyed Demon Lizard realize that its prey was unusual.
They are monsters, their intelligence is neither low nor high. Most monsters only have a consistent hunting mentality, and few monsters have awakened their own thoughts.
They couldn't understand why the humans before them, who seemed so weak, could repeatedly plunge the knife into the deepest part of their bodies.
The Black-Eyed Demon Lizard became alert.
Gradually, the three S-class monsters blended into their environment.
The Black-Eyed Demon Lizard kills people by bursting forth with strength and by using its venom.
If they bite you, you'll either be crippled or die.
Jiang He paid close attention to the direction of the Black-Eyed Demon Lizard's attack.
Each monster has a habitual attack pattern.
Once you understand it thoroughly and anticipate its movements, it's not difficult to dodge the monster's attacks.
"Stay on the sidelines and suspend the attack."
Monsters are alert; trying to accurately track their movements and launch an attack can easily result in being killed instead.
Their best option now is to maintain a high level of mental focus at all times.
"Are you not going to play anymore? I feel like I can still keep playing."
"Why fight? Take your pills first. The Black-Eyed Demon Lizard won't attack anytime soon. If you go there, it's no different from suicide."
Li Ling's words were as always. She remembered what Jiang He had said and made the most of every spare moment to replenish her spiritual power and demonic energy.
The magic array created by Li Ling and Bai Zhizhou saved the lives of many cultivators at a critical moment.
They no longer felt displeased with what Li Ling said at the beginning; instead, they regarded it as gospel and listened to it carefully.
After fighting for so long, their spiritual energy was almost depleted. Seeing Li Ling frantically consuming pills, the other cultivators followed suit.
With everyone's status restored, the Black-Eyed Demon Lizard had no intention of letting these humans recover their energy.
A demonic lizard swept its tail across the ground, causing a slight crack and clods of earth to fly up. The cultivators, who were paying close attention to Jiang He's words, hurriedly flew away, narrowly avoiding the demonic lizard.
After repeated attacks that failed one after another, the Black-Eyed Demon Lizard finally realized something was wrong. How could the humans, who had seemed so easily defeated just moments before, be so agile?
Before the Black-Eyed Demon Lizard launched its next attack, the two demon lizards coordinated their attack, seemingly targeting the cultivator next to Jiang He with their sharp teeth, but in reality, they were covering for the third demon lizard!
An unexpected event occurred: three S-class monsters simultaneously attacked Jiang He.
"Jiang He!"
Long Aotian drew his sword and flew swiftly to Jiang He's side.
The demons were incredibly strong. Three demons surrounded Jiang He at the same time, completely ignoring the attacks from behind, which terrified the other cultivators.
Being targeted by three S-class monsters—this scene made countless people's hearts leap into their throats.
The monster spurted venom from its mouth.
A fishy, stench instantly filled the air around us.
