Zaun witnessed the entire process. No matter how skillful the night elves were, or how dazzling their attacks were, the eight independent warriors remained calm and unaffected within the protective barrier.
Despite the night elves' fierce attacks, the shield showed no sign of breaking. On the contrary, the eight independent warriors were able to use their respective elemental attacks to counterattack, and soon the night elves' formation fell into disarray.
Sang Hong, standing to the side, said in a deep voice: "Everything in the universe has its counterpart, and there is no possibility that there is something that is completely unsolvable. Take these elemental shields of the wandering people for example. If we use the corresponding elements to break them, the efficiency should be much higher."
Zuan thought of the theoretical lessons he had learned at Mingyue Academy: water overcomes fire, fire overcomes metal, metal overcomes wood, wood overcomes earth, earth overcomes water, wood overcomes wind, earth overcomes lightning, and fire overcomes ice...
Moreover, these elements are not entirely in a antagonistic relationship; many different elements can also be mutually reinforcing, and when combined, they can produce a power far greater than that of a single element.
Seemingly inspired by Sang Hong's words, the night elves quickly changed their strategy and attacked according to the corresponding elemental targets.
Soon, things became chaotic on the side of the eight independent martial artists. The shield of the wood-type independent martial artist was the first to be broken, followed by the shields of several other independent martial artists, so that Qiu Honglei had to step forward to help.
After the initial chaos, the Demonic Sect quickly regained the upper hand. After all, each of the independent cultivators was a master who could stand alone, and even without the protective shield, they still possessed formidable strength.
However, they have lost the composure they had at the beginning, when they were already in an invincible position.
Seeing the brutal battle before him, Zu'an suddenly understood why the academy's curriculum had mentioned since he entered the academy that cultivators of the sixth rank or above could crush those below them.
Because a sixth-grade cultivator can awaken the corresponding elemental armor, generally you can only break his elemental armor by using an element that can restrain the element he cultivates. Otherwise, you will have a hard time even breaking through his defense, so how could you possibly be his opponent?
Even if you're lucky enough to awaken an element that happens to counter that sixth-grade cultivator, you can only break through his elemental armor. But since his energy level and cultivation level are already higher than yours, you still can't win in a fight.
Only when you reach the sixth rank or above, even if your element cannot restrain your opponent, you can still slowly wear down their energy armor by relying on the same level of cultivation and energy strength. At that time, it will be a contest of the level of cultivation and combat ability of both sides.
Zuan suddenly realized a problem: "If one can awaken multiple elements at the same time, wouldn't that be able to restrain a large number of cultivators of the corresponding element?"
In my past life, I read those wish-fulfillment novels where the protagonists were all proficient in all three elements. If you only knew two elements, you'd be embarrassed to go out and meet people.
Before Sang Hong could answer, Sang Qian's sarcastic voice rang out first: "Those who suddenly become rich overnight from the bottom class really lack basic knowledge and only indulge in unrealistic fantasies. Different elements react violently and can easily clash if you're not careful. How could anyone awaken multiple elements at the same time?"
Zu An ignored him and directly put his arm around Zheng Dan's soft waist: "Come on, let your wife give you a hug."
In front of so many people, Zheng Dan blushed with embarrassment and hurriedly pushed him away, even playfully punching him a few times with her small fists.
Sang Qian was furious. This was outrageous! How dare he hug my wife in front of me?
Anger from Sang Qian +1024!
Just as he was about to explode, Zu'an pointed to his and Zheng Dan's wedding attire: "You need to be mindful of our current status. What's wrong with me hugging my wife?"
Sang Qian's breath hitched, and he suddenly remembered the plan he had previously devised to substitute someone else for him. In everyone's eyes, he was now the one in charge of Zu An.
These two groups of people looked fierce and were clearly coming for Zu'an. If they did, all the other unrelated people would definitely be silenced. Thinking about it this way, he felt it was better to stay in Zu'an for a while longer.
Survival is the only priority; we can put everything else aside for now and see who has the last laugh.
The only question is whether Qiu Honglei knows him, and whether the Night Elves have figured out his identity from the conversation just now.
However, when he saw Zu'an proudly holding Zheng Dan, his jealousy still burned fiercely.
Anger from Sang Qian: +516 +516 +516...
At this moment, Sang Hong coughed and said, "The world is so big that it's not impossible for people to have dual elemental abilities, but perhaps I'm just ignorant, I haven't seen any yet."
When Zuan heard that even he said this, he figured the probability of having a dual-elemental awakener in the world was probably not high. After all, Sang Hong was already an eighth-rank cultivator and had once held an important position in the capital, so he was quite knowledgeable.
If I could be proficient in all elements like the protagonists in those novels I used to read, I could slaughter any enemy I encountered in this world.
As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Zuan felt a little discouraged. Let alone mastering all the elements, he hadn't even awakened a single elemental ability after reaching the fifth rank. That's just how damn frustrating it was.
At this moment, something unexpected happened. A soft laugh rang out, and Qiu Honglei suddenly picked up a pale yellow lantern and threw it into the air. The lantern automatically floated in the sky. Although it looked very faint and could be blown out by the wind at any moment, it enveloped the entire arena in its light.
The soft yellow light looked warm, but when it fell on the night elves, it chilled them to the bone.
Because their originally formless and shapeless movement trajectory could no longer hide under this yellow light, some blurry figures appeared vaguely. Although they were not very clear, it was enough for experts.
