"I don't know if you stumbled upon it by accident, or if you truly possess this keen insight into the battlefield." Xu Lang stroked his chin, staring at Saladin as he spoke. "Let me ask you, based on your understanding of your own people, what method will the Rakshasa Ancient Kingdom adopt next to attack the dormitory building?"

Saladin's expression instantly became conflicted.

After a long while, he sighed:

"Forget it, I lost. They probably don't stand a chance of winning either."

"I've already tried the full-force assault, it didn't work."

"If that Great Elder Haran is smart enough, he should adopt the tactic of defeating the enemy one by one."

"If your allies all die, and you can still win in the end... then... then I truly have nothing more to say!"

Saladin wasn't some hot-headed youngster who would blame heaven and others just because his strength fell short.

That's just how reality is. Is it a skill to be born the son of a landlord? Is it a skill to have a good brain? Is it a skill to have perseverance? So someone else's strength being greater than yours isn't a skill?

The world is full of unfairness everywhere, and the battlefield has even less claim to fairness.

So he didn't complain, he simply had nothing more to say.

"Defeating them one by one?"

Hearing this, Xu Lang fell into deep thought.

If the monster faction played it this way, it would indeed be troublesome for him.

If all the players died, and the next round of the game brought in all veteran players with over ten cycles of experience, while he was just a little nobody with six cycles...

That would be tough!

There's a saying that goes: the higher the status, the more right-leaning the thinking.

Because maintaining the status quo is the best situation for those who profit from it.

If possible, Xu Lang would of course be happy to just keep lying flat like this, blissfully unaware. He just didn't know if the Mad King Building would give him that opportunity.

"I understand." Xu Lang had no further questions.

He was very satisfied with Saladin's attitude of answering every question asked. This was a genuinely smart person who could clearly recognize his own situation.

"Wait!" Saladin called out to Xu Lang, gritting his teeth as he said, "Your ability is very strange, I can barely control my killing intent towards you... When the time comes, I will betray you!"

A dead man's revenge on his executioner?

Xu Lang didn't care.

"Betraying others is being loyal to oneself. However, before you betray me, I hope you choose your timing well, otherwise you'll die again!"

After Xu Lang left, the Soul-Herding Wolf barked frantically at Saladin.

Saladin sighed helplessly and retreated back into the tombstone.

...

"Lang Ge, how is it?" Tong Qi asked hurriedly upon seeing Xu Lang open his eyes.

Xu Lang smiled and replied, "Yazhi should be fine. I had a soul conversation with Saladin."

The emotions of a Herd Spirit simply couldn't be hidden;truth and lies were directly written on their "faces."

The Shepherd's suppression of the flock was all-encompassing.

Hearing Xu Lang's tone so certain, the girls breathed a sigh of relief, though they didn't completely let their guard down.

Xu Lang glanced at Saladin's completely drained corpse. The Scarlet Herding Chains retracted, bringing over a crystal.

[Saladin's Memory Crystal: Records Saladin's war experience.]

The value that could be squeezed from the corpse was very low. The only thing squeezed out of Saladin's entire body was this memory crystal, but fortunately, he had dropped items earlier.

Xu Lang used it immediately, gaining a pile of war experience in his mind, including but not limited to tactics, terrain, morale, logistics...

The special abilities of the Herd Spirit directly acted on Xu Lang himself;in other words, they were passive skills.

After acquiring Saladin's Tomb, the boundaries of Xu Lang's thoughts seemed to have expanded, giving him a kind of clear-sighted insight into the two major factions of monsters and players. Now, with the addition of war experience, he could immediately serve as a commanding general.

It must be said, the Scarlet Shepherd Sequence was truly powerful.

Herd Spirits not only gave Sequence Holders an extra life and brought additional abilities, but they could also join the battle at critical moments.

"The Herd Spirits will grow alongside me. The Blood Ghost's sharpness will increase, Saladin's battlefield command abilities will strengthen... When that time comes, I'll be the Blade Emperor, the Master of Ten Thousand Armies."

The corners of Xu Lang's mouth flew upwards as he indulged in his own beautiful fantasy.

Although the Butcher's Killing Karma skill was gone, and the sharpness gained from the Blood Ghost's growth wasn't as fast as before, he could now possess multiple Herd Spirits, all with growth potential.

If one day, the Grave Pasture was filled with tombstones...

He couldn't think about it anymore, otherwise the corners of his mouth would really take off!

...

Several hours later, Wang Yazhi showed signs of waking up.

But her appearance at this moment was very strange!

Her waterfall-like black hair had turned white. Her skin was like jade, faintly tinged with blue. Her physique and facial features had also undergone subtle changes. Her figure was taller and more slender, and her eyes and brows carried an added aura of majesty and holiness.

Her Charm skyrocketed, surged, exploded!

Wang Yazhi's Charm had been rising continuously, but strangely, Xu Lang felt not a shred of lustful intent.

At this moment, Wang Yazhi truly had a feeling of overflowing majesty, like a divine statue.

Suddenly, Wang Yazhi opened her eyes. Her clear, cold gaze was like moonlight, yet also like two sharp swords, piercingly painful!

"Yazhi, you're awake?" Cao Yaxuan exclaimed joyfully.

"What happened to me?" Wang Yazhi instinctively stood up.

Only then did everyone see clearly just how much she had changed!

She stood about two meters tall, yet it didn't appear frightening at all. Instead, it had a kind of harmonious beauty. Her white arms were slender, her waist was graceful, and a shimmering moonlight seemed to float around her body, like ribbons adorning a celestial maiden.

"Yazhi, you've become so tall!" Cao Yaxuan cried out in surprise.

Wang Yazhi stretched out her slender, clearly-knuckled hand and clenched it, feeling an indescribable sensation.

"Yazhi, quickly check your information panel," Xu Ruyan reminded.

Xu Lang, with his Dorm Owner privileges, had already checked it first.

[Tenant: Wang Yazhi]

[Experience: Six Cycles (In Progress)]

A complete Sequence?!

Holy shit, did Saladin know about this?

The corner of Xu Lang's mouth twitched as he checked the more detailed sequence information.

[Rakshasa (Unawakened)]

[Sequence Level: B-33]

[Sequence Ability 1 (Rakshasa): Possesses Rakshasa Power. Hidden within the body, it increases explosive force. Consuming it reveals the Rakshasa True Form, with combat power progressively increasing as the depth of the true form's manifestation deepens.]

"It seems a bit... average..."

Xu Lang secretly raised an eyebrow.

He was used to growth-type Sequences, so he felt somewhat dismissive of this non-growth type.

Moreover, just looking at the description, this Rakshasa Sequence really didn't have any outstanding aspects.

"Yazhi-jie, how is your base attribute so high?!"

"Yazhi, you actually have a Sequence now, and it's a B-rank Sequence! My heavens!"

"Yazhi, all your Sequence abilities seem to revolve around the characteristic of transformation!"

The other girls had also finished reading the information Wang Yazhi shared.

"Wait for me to get used to it!" Wang Yazhi took a deep breath, and her figure suddenly shrank. Her hair also returned to its original black state. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Seeing this, Xu Lang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

So that earlier form was Wang Yazhi's transformed state. He thought it was permanent.

He had good stamina, climbing mountains wasn't a problem, but he couldn't keep climbing forever.

"Yazhi, yours should be a Transformation-type Sequence! And a top-tier Transformation-type Sequence at that!" Xu Ruyan said, her tone even more certain as she watched Wang Yazhi return to her original form.

Transformation-type?

A flash of inspiration struck Xu Lang's mind. That seemed to be exactly it.

Transformation-type Sequences had one characteristic.

That was: during the transformation period, they were strong! Invincible! Unbeatable!
