Douluo: Infinite Lottery System

Chapter 95: Chapter 95: What were you thinking?



"Impressive!" Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but silently praise at this moment.

As a leading theorist on douluo continent, he naturally understood the concept of integrating soul skills with one's own combat techniques. However, knowing about it was one thing—teaching it was another.

For one, this technique was not his forte. More importantly, it relied entirely on personal comprehension. Those with exceptional combat talent might grasp it after a single battle, while others might never learn it in their lifetime.

Up until this moment, he had doubted whether Xiao Tianyang's claim was true.

But now, he had to admit—Saber was indeed a combat genius!

The battle that followed held little suspense.

After dealing with Ning Rongrong, Saber fought without restraint, striking down anyone she caught.

As for Tang San's plan to trap her for two seconds? Impossible.

Even if Xiao Wu teleported next to Saber, it was nothing more than delivering herself as a target.

The biggest surprise, however, was that Dai Mubai was the first to fall!

Not because he ran out of soul power—but because he had foolishly chosen to clash head-on with Saber...

The outcome was as expected. He was sent flying. If Xiao Tianyang hadn't reacted quickly to catch him, he might have crashed straight into a large tree.

At that moment, Xiao Tianyang told him: "Did you overeat or something? Her overall attributes have increased by 200%, and you still think you can fight her head-on? Who do you think you are?"

Dai Mubai: "..."

With their main frontline attacker down, no matter how strong Tang San was, their defeat was inevitable. It was only a matter of time before they were picked off one by one.

Five minutes later, as the last of them fell, Saber finally spoke, her voice calm and decisive: "You lost."

Flender and Zhao Wuji, who had been observing from a distance, were dumbfounded.

They had expected a tough, drawn-out battle—but never imagined Saber would win so overwhelmingly!

After all, this wasn't a one-on-one fight, but a one-versus-seven!

Aside from their lack of cooperative experience, Tang San's team was nearly an ideal combination of soul masters. Yet, once their support-type member was taken out at the start, a chain reaction of collapses followed.

"Didn't you say this girl lacked combat experience?" Flender glanced at Zhao Wuji, feeling somewhat speechless.

"You fought her face-to-face—how did you not notice this? I'm starting to doubt whether you deserve to be vice-Dean..."

Zhao Wuji was equally bewildered.

"When Saber fought me back then, she didn't perform this well—I swear!" he said, clearly baffled. "Could it be that Xiao Tianyang was deliberately holding her back before?"

Flender rolled his eyes. "Do you think Tianyang is someone who would do that? If he's willing to share his special soul power with everyone, why would he privately hold back for her?"

"That's true..." Zhao Wuji frowned. "Then maybe the strength gap back then was too great, so Saber felt those techniques weren't necessary?"

After a moment of contemplation, Flender nodded. "That makes sense."

It was like a child challenging an adult—there was no need for flashy techniques. A simple, direct approach would yield better results.

On the other hand, Yu Xiaogang found the result rather incredible.

But as a scholar, he had already begun analyzing both sides' strengths and weaknesses.

Stepping into the clearing, he spoke solemnly, "This battle revealed several problems in your teamwork. First and foremost, Tang San!"

Tang San was taken aback, as was everyone else.

Even Xiao Tianyang glanced over, curious."What mistake did he make?"

Tang San himself was puzzled. "Teacher, isn't it standard to control an opponent as soon as possible when facing a strong power-type fighter like Saber?"

Yu Xiaogang looked at his prized student and answered, "Your approach was correct, but you overlooked one crucial detail—the person you targeted had never fought alongside you before."

Seeing Tang San's surprised expression, Yu Xiaogang continued, "Your second mistake was even more critical. Instead of maximizing Dai Mubai's role, you assigned Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu as the main attackers."

"Tell me—if Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu did manage to get close, would they really stand a chance against Saber?"

"And another question—what if, instead, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun took on the main attacking roles, combining close-range and long-range strikes while using their mobility to keep Saber contained?"

After hearing this, Tang San felt a deep sense of shame.

In retrospect, he had made too many assumptions during the fight.

The first issue, the lack of teamwork experience, was understandable. Even Yu Xiaogang himself hadn't foreseen it.

But his command had been too rigid, and Saber's superior combat skills left him no room to adjust.

Yu Xiaogang didn't focus too much on this, since it was an inevitable flaw in their first battle.

However, the complete collapse of Tang San's command system later on was inexcusable.

Of course, the team's defeat wasn't entirely his fault—everyone had their share of responsibility.

Especially Dai Mubai!

As Xiao Tianyang had pointed out—what made him think he could fight Saber head-on when her strength had increased by 200%?

Wouldn't dodging and wearing her down have been a much smarter strategy?

At the end, Yu Xiaogang addressed the entire group: "What you currently lack is both cooperative experience and the ability to seize combat opportunities."

"The former can be improved through training. As for the latter, you need guidance."

He then turned to Saber. "Having just fought her, you all now understand how terrifying it is to face an opponent with extensive battle experience and a perfect grasp of timing, don't you?"

Everyone nodded solemnly. The pressure of facing Saber had been suffocating.

This was different from facing Xiao Tianyang, whose overwhelming strength crushed them outright.

Against him, losing felt inevitable—but against Saber, it felt like they had a chance, yet still couldn't overcome the gap in skill.

"Alright, since you failed, there will be consequences."

Yu Xiaogang pulled out a stack of training plans and distributed them. "These are individualized training regimens I've designed for each of you. You must follow them exactly, with no exceptions."

As Ma Hongjun glanced at his assigned plan, he couldn't help but gasp.

"If I train at this intensity... I might actually die!"

Xiao Tianyang peeked at his paper and chuckled. "Relax. You won't die. You'll just collapse from exhaustion."

Ma Hongjun: "..."

Dai Mubai patted Ma Hongjun on the shoulder. "Want to trade?"

Ma Hongjun took one look at Dai Mubai's plan and immediately shook his head. "No way!"

Just the first exercise alone had dumbbells 50 kilograms heavier than his own, with double the repetitions.

No need to read further—he was keeping his plan.

As the others whispered among themselves, Yu Xiaogang turned to Xiao Tianyang with a sly smile. "Tianyang, I didn't prepare a specific training plan for you—but if you'd like, you can join them."

"..." Xiao Tianyang was speechless.

Was he really just being used as a sparring partner?
