The Spiritual Cultivators retreated while casting spells.
The decisive moment of battle hinged on the thinnest of margins, coming and going in a flash.
A moment’s negligence could lead to a series of unforeseen events, extremely perilous, causing one’s emotions to fluctuate unpredictably.
Mo Hua quickly became engrossed in the spectacle.
In the blink of an eye, it had already turned dark.
Unbeknownst to him, he had been watching for an entire day.
Mo Hua sighed.
This Sword Discussion Conference was indeed exhilarating.
Time flew by swiftly.
However, considering the event only came once every three years and the opportunity was rare, Mo Hua found it acceptable to “indulge” himself and joined Cheng Mo to watch the sword duels when he was free.
As he watched, Mo Hua began to notice some subtleties.
Although it was supposed to rely on cooperation between fellow Sect members, many Sects did not exhibit much “tacit understanding” amongst themselves.
In most cases, each fighter acted independently.
Then, they would seize opportunities to gang up on the few.
This became a form of tactic.
The main purpose of team cooperation was to “outnumber the enemy.”
The goal of tactics was also most often to “outnumber the enemy.”
Although the fights were spectacular, there was indeed a lack of variety, with tactics being too simplistic.
These strategies were even less sophisticated than those of the Monster Hunter uncles in Tongxian City, who would work together to hunt monsters, luring enemies deep into traps and combining long-range and close-quarter combat to encircle and eradicate their prey.
Mo Hua furrowed his brows in thought and gradually came to an understanding.
Monster Hunters hunted monsters in a fight of life and death, prioritizing practicality and using all means necessary.
Whereas the Sword Discussion Conference was essentially a form of “competition.”
Even among fellow Sect disciples, not all had the same intentions, and there was competition among them.
Moreover, it seemed that some Great Sects were intentionally allowing one or two of their core disciples to stand out.
During the grand battle, they would have other Sect members wear out the opponent first.
After the opponent’s spiritual power and physical strength had been significantly depleted, these core disciples would then take action, accomplishing the “feat” of fighting two or even three opponents at once, reaping victory and earning the admiration and praise of other disciples.
Mo Hua felt disdainful.
Using the Sword Discussion Conference as a stage to promote core disciples.
But the key point was that since the Conference was all about sparring, such tactics weren’t too much of an issue.
But what about in the future? When facing malicious Evil Cultivators or fierce Demon Cultivators, would they still employ the same tactics?
Those Evil Demon Cultivators were like centipedes, never dying even when cut in half.
By playing this way, weren’t they just giving their enemies a chance for a counter-kill?
Or could it be that these core disciples would later directly enter the high ranks of the Taoist Court or noble families, never having to face Evil Demons on the front line?
Mo Hua shook his head.
However, all this had nothing to do with him.
He was merely an observer for the time being.
With the philosophy of knowing oneself and one’s opponent, Mo Hua would still frequently attend the Sword Discussion Conference.
To learn what kind of Cultivation Techniques and Taoist Skills other Sects practiced, what tactics they favored.
To see what the atmosphere of the Sect was like.
To observe whether the disciples were harmonious only on the surface while scheming against each other in secret.
At the same time, Mo Hua pondered in his mind.
If he were to fight up there, what should he do? What tactics could he use?
Mo Hua cataloged all this, thinking that it might come in handy someday if the opportunity arose.
In addition to watching the Sword Discussion Conference, Mo Hua also diligently continued his own cultivation.
After tireless efforts day and night, the Mystery Formation within Mo Hua’s Sea of Consciousness was finally completely unraveled, the bottleneck was broken, and everything fell into place naturally.
As the Sword Discussion Conference neared its end, Mo Hua’s cultivation finally broke through.
Moving past the early stage and stepping into the middle phase.
His spiritual power flowed like mercury, becoming ever more profound.
From then on, he became a young Cultivator in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.
