#Strategic Analysis of Yuanshiben's Victory Over Maoshan Master# Didn't I say we shouldn't reveal any details about the battle? When Zhang Yuanqing saw the pinned post, he was momentarily stunned. He had come just to receive compliments and satisfy his sense of prestige—what kind of analysis would disclose his props and skills like that? Well, with so many on-site spectators, confidentiality really doesn't matter much anymore. Since a tournament has been established, the contestants' information can no longer be kept secret. The official aims to protect the contestants' profiles from being widely circulated, especially from being sold to the evil professions. The key weapon, and the restriction on using props one or two levels above their own, actually serve to keep the contestants' hidden strengths concealed. Over time, even the props used in regular battles will eventually become known—unless the contestants never engage in combat. As his thoughts flowed, he opened the post: "Thank you to the 80 contestants who delivered intense and captivating performances on the opening day of the tournament, giving us a glimpse into the sunny energy and vitality of the official travelers." "Among them, the battle between Yuanshiben and the Maoshan master was truly outstanding and served as the highlight of the day's event. Following the match, many colleagues actively discussed it on the forum, leaving a lasting impression. "As per our usual practice, we now analyze the key moments of this intense encounter. After our discussion, the battle unfolded in six distinct phases. "In the first phase, Yuanshiben employed a deceptive strategy at the outset, catching the Maoshan master off guard—a highly intelligent move. Whether facing a strong or a weak opponent, one should always strive to resolve the conflict with minimal cost. However, unfortunately, this strategy was neutralized by the Maoshan master's Yin尸." Hmm, without involving specific props or detailed actions, the analysis post turned out to be quite satisfactory. Zhang Yuanqing nodded in satisfaction and continued reading. "In the second phase, the Maoshan sorcerers launched a counteroffensive, with the shadow corpses as their main force. Their bodies remained hidden, enabling stealth attacks—this is precisely the most classic combat style of the Night-Wanderer deity, well known to anyone familiar with the role. With the shadow corpses supporting them, they successfully pressured Yuan Shi Tian Zun. Pay close attention to the gesture of throwing the rifle—the moment Yuan Shi Tian Zun performs this action, he already anticipates that his attack will fall ineffective against the Maoshan sorcerers. Therefore, as the Maoshan sorcerers launch their assault, he creates a magical illusion, materializes behind them, receives the rifle, and then fires it—executing a seamless, fluid sequence of attacks. While the Night-Wanderer's skills are not classified, the fact that the Maoshan sorcerers possess shadow corpses is also well known. What's more sensitive is Zhang Yuanqing's rifle, which involves specific equipment. However, all official travelers are typically equipped with rifles." "Third phase: The two engage in a direct clash, and the Mount Mao practitioner emerges unharmed while Yuan Shi Tian Zun suffers an injury to his abdomen. At this point, many viewers likely held their breath, concerned for Yuan Shi Tian Zun—yet fortunately, the Night-Wandering Deity possesses strong vitality, and this injury is not serious. Nevertheless, this phase is critically important, and we will set it aside for now. I suspect that up to now, no one has truly grasped the key points. Let's now analyze why Yuan-Shi Tian Zun's victory was so seamless. "The turning points of this battle begin with the third phase. As mentioned earlier, that clash involving the swords was crucial—though Yuan-Shi Tian Zun appeared severely wounded, it was actually the Miao-Shan shi who suffered the real losses. What he lost, everyone should understand. In the fourth phase, Yuan-Shi Tian Zun finds himself in a dire situation. At first glance, it seems he's destined to lose. Yet everyone should have noticed that his crisis lasts only a few seconds—by then, the Miao-Shan shi's yin corpse begins to falter. Clearly, Yuan-Shi Tian Zun orchestrated this. He deliberately fell into peril, not to be defeated, but to draw the Miao-Shan shi's full attention away from his own reserves." That's a solid analysis—clearly, the poster has a solid level of understanding. Zhang Yuanqing gave a slight sigh. Indeed, he had intentionally set the trap. Only by doing so could the Miao-Shan shi fail to notice the little comic relief. Under normal circumstances, the Spirit Servant would surely be noticed by the Night-Wanderer Spirit. To achieve a surprise attack on the Shadow Corpse, it's essential to completely divert the attention of the Miao Shan Master of the Arts. "The Miao Shan Master has indeed been caught off guard—his strategic advantage of the Shadow Corpse has been compromised. Initially, he intended to use his 'Night-Wanderer' skill to tie down the opponent, delay the pace, and create opportunities. However, Yuan Shi Tian Zun deployed his final reserve move, preventing him from entering the Night-Wanderer state. "By this point, everyone will realize that the Miao Shan Master's entire repertoire—his skills, tools, and even his Shadow Corpse units—has been neutralized. How could he possibly prevail? Yuan Shi Tian Zun has laid out a well-thought-out strategy: testing the opponent in the first two phases, building momentum in the third, and finally delivering the decisive blow to overcome the strong adversary." "Indeed, it's no surprise that such a prodigy—having successfully cleared two S-tier and one high-difficulty A-tier challenges—cannot be fully measured by mere surface-level statistics. We look forward to his future performances 【Land God: The young man is indeed impressive—he clearly thinks strategically. The more such talented youngsters we have, the better.】 【Heavenly Fire: After watching this match, I'm fully convinced. His ability to conquer S-tier dungeons isn't just luck; it's solid skill. I'm looking forward to facing Yuan-Shi Tian Zun, preferably within the dungeon itself.】 【Qing Songzi: Actually, defeating Yuan-Shi Tian Zun isn't that hard—just run, run…】 【Jiang Jingwei: What nonsense is this? I can't even understand what's being said. Fighting is that complicated? Yuan-Shi is all over the place—swap me in, and I’d take out the Mount Mao sorcerer in just a few moves.】 The comments from the top-tier players have received an overwhelming number of likes and are leading the rankings. 【Jennifer, the Sentimental One: Wow! I never realized there were so many subtle details. During the late afternoon, I was completely lost—such a dominant Mount Mao sorcerer just lost unexpectedly, and the sudden shift in momentum left me stunned. Now I finally understand—this is exactly what the term "pro player" means? 】 【Princess: Ah, it feels like my brain is completely overwhelmed. I can only think two steps ahead at most, but Yuan-Shi Tian-Zun seems to be planning from the very beginning to the very end—how is that even human? Does the Ye-You Shen have any cognitive advantages?】 【Longer Days Ahead: It's all interconnected—this is someone who has already mapped out the entire battle strategy before the fight even begins. Previously, I only thought of Tian-Zun's innate talent; now I see it clearly.】 【More Days of Sorrow: He's holding back his reserves, gradually testing the capabilities of the Miao-Shan martial artists. Quite risky—during the third phase, I was surprised at how quickly Tian-Zun sustained injuries. Now I realize it was all part of his strategy.】 【Big Muscle Power: I feel like my brain is completely overwhelmed—how does he manage to think ten steps ahead while moving just one? I never noticed this strength before. When we were fighting the "Unstoppable," I remember him being rather clueless.】 】 【Call me Queen: He's made tremendous progress. When we first fought Li Xianzong in the副本, his physical skills weren't what they are now, though he already showed promising tactical awareness—very good at devising strategies, just not quite mature yet. But the performance of the Miao Mountain sorcerer truly changed my perspective. Next year, I'm applying to transfer to Songhai to serve under Yuan Shi Tianzun.】 【Li Dongze: Yuan Shi has performed well—well worth the time and effort I've invested in him. @Call me Queen, please don't come—our second team is now full.】 【Call me Queen: Who's this guy? What does it have to do with you?】 【Ministry of Literature and Culture Academician: @Princess, the intellectual enhancement comes from our scholars. Honestly, Yuan Shi Tianzun is purely a natural combat talent. The post indeed highlights this accurately—he's not something that can be fully assessed by a few data points. I'll revise my evaluation of him. But let me be clear—based on his current combat performance and equipment, it's going to be quite challenging for him to enter the top five, let alone the top three 】 【Call me Queen: Another fool! I'll note that down and give you a real talking-to when I'm back in the real world.】 Indeed, showing off is humanity's most fundamental need for happiness—I'll keep praising Fu Qingyang from now on, and it's guaranteed to pay off... Zhang Yuanqing was so immersed in the compliments that he completely forgot the time had passed. …… In the capital, under the sycamow tree. Su Miao-miao, dressed in a black dress, stood by the rocking chair, murmuring in a rhythmic, incantatory tone: "I want the little spirit of Yuan Shi Tian Zun. I want the little spirit of Yuan Shi Tian Zun. I want the little spirit of Yuan Shi Tian Zun..." She kept chanting from dusk until deep night. After leaving the conference, Su Miao-miao kept picturing the image of the little spirit in her mind—the round, soft body, so adorable with its smooth, hairless skin; the glossy black eyes, free of any resentment or malice, pure as gems. The sparse downy hair on its body was precisely the symbol of its most beautiful youth. How could there be such a young spirit in the world? How Sun Miaomiao screamed, "Ah ah ah! I don't care! I just want him! Without him, I won't be able to fall asleep tonight!" "No, no!" Sun Elder grew weary, repeating, "I still say this: only after I defeat Yuan Shǐ Tianzūn will I let Xiao Hong play with you." "Xiao Hong is certainly lovely, but—well—" Sun Miaomiao had already developed feelings for someone else, though she didn't want to say it outright in front of Xiao Hong, who was a sensitive young lady and would surely feel hurt. "But I still want Yuan Shǐ Tianzūn's spiritual attendant! If you don't give him to me, I'll go and assassinate Yuan Shǐ Tianzūn!" Sun Miaomiao insisted, growing angry. "Who would even train a newborn child to serve as a spiritual attendant?" Sun Elder replied with irritation. The two suddenly paused, both frowning. ... The villa, the softly lit study. A woman in a silk nightgown lay lazily on the imperial bed, her gown falling to just above her knees, revealing smooth, porcelain-like legs. The V-neck opening revealed soft She supported her chin with one hand, her eyes soft and alluring, and smiled, asking, "Do I look beautiful?" A sharp breath echoed in the dim study, and the figure hidden in the shadows, voice hoarse, replied, "Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful." Zhu Rong's smile grew more delicate and captivating, her lips lightly pressed together, and she asked, "Would you like me?" "Yes! Yes!" the voice came in a short, urgent exclamation. Zhu Rong smiled seductively, "As long as you agree to one thing, I'll take you as my face-of-the-stage. You can have your own way of asking." The man in the shadows inquired, "What is it?" Zhu Rong lifted her lips slightly, "If you meet Yuan Shi Tian Zun on the arena stage, fetch me any of his blood, hair, nails, flesh—anything at all." ...The man in the shadows remained silent for several seconds, then his voice regained a measure of composure: "What do you want? Yuan Shi Tian Zun holds A-level merit. He is different from ordinary transcendents. In terms of merit, most of the officials rank below him." "In terms of talent... you've just seen what he accomplished today. The senior leadership of the Five Elements Alliance will only grow more attentive to him from now on. I urge you not to burn yourself out." Zhu Rong chuckled. "Do you really need me to teach you how to manage things? There are countless ways to dismantle someone—by controlling them, by refining them, by making them fall at my feet, becoming mere servants, summoned at will and dismissed as easily as a breeze! When he can't resist the allure of my beauty, who can blame him? The senior leaders of the Five Elements Alliance won't find a single fault in me." What a transformation... The man in the shadow remained silent, and only after a long while, following his inner desire, did he whisper, "Very well! I agree!" Playing video games was Zhang Yuanqing's way of rewarding him. Today, the little chatterbox had truly earned his praise—just as a father would reward his son for scoring a perfect hundred on an exam. Zhang Yuanqing thoroughly enjoyed their current way of interacting, feeling as though he were raising a son, even though the son's mother had no connection to him. His initial decision to take in the little chatterbox had been absolutely right—he should have had a second chance at life, experiencing this vibrant world, rather than fading away alone after just a few days as a newborn infant, leaving behind only regret. At that moment, a soft hum of electricity came from behind the desk. The magic king's little mishap had returned… Zhang Yuanqing didn't hesitate—he dropped the game controller and rushed toward the desk. The little chatterbox blinked, watching the suddenly still image on the television screen, then glanced down at the controller he was still fidgeting with in his hands, his face now expressing genuine curiosity. Zhang Yuanqing opened the drawer, took hold of the Cat King speaker, and stepped into the night journey. As soon as his figure had disappeared, a woman's sharp cry rang out, clear and powerful, accompanied by the resonant sounds of bodies colliding. Amid a deep breath, the magical king's distinct, raspy voice chuckled coldly: "You said earlier you'd kill me to earn merit, that you'd rather die than yield—didn't you think I'd have a virtuous, resolute lady on my hands? I never expected your voice to be as pleasing as that of a wood spirit. Zhu Rong, isn't it true that you're the younger sister of Zhu's head of household?"
