Chapter 1489: Chapter 456: 100,000 Points, Starting the Arduous Cultivation Chapter 1489: Chapter 456: 100,000 Points, Starting the Arduous Cultivation The Trial Field was engulfed in yellow sand, making it extremely difficult for the combatants to discern exactly what was happening.

However, in the spectator stands, the instructors and students were able to roughly see the process of the two teams clashing through the Barrier.

Although they were just some blurry Shadow figures, the charging tactics were clearly visible.

The same smoke bomb starters, the same Wing-clipping Strategy…

There was nothing to criticize.

But!

It was only when they saw the instructor in charge of the rescue urgently enter the field and save the three who had fallen did everyone realize that there was a big problem.

Just from this one encounter, three people were “casualties”?

And what’s more, the side with the higher casualties was the attacking Red Dragon Team?

This was nothing like what the students had imagined.

Because they were separated by the Barrier, the spectators only saw three people fall, but they didn’t know exactly who.

In their minds, the Red Dragon Royal Family’s “A+” team had gathered the strongest Card Disciple combat power recognized by everyone.

Before the match, everyone thought it was a contest with no suspense.

Perhaps there might be some minor accidents.

But the victor, for sure, would be the Red Dragon Royal Family Team.

However, things seemed to have turned out differently than expected.

The instructors also felt it was an exciting fight and immediately enhanced the Barrier’s display effect.

It was only then that the students in the spectator stands clearly saw that the ones who had fallen were Kelson and Sirry, the dual assassins from the Red Dragon side!

And the other one was Jessica, the Priest from Duke Landon’s Mansion.

One Priest exchanged for two main attackers?

At this sight, everyone gasped in shock.

“What exactly happened? How did those guys from Duke Landon’s Mansion manage to take out two elite assassins from the Red Dragon Royal Family in the blink of an eye?”

“Yeah, I couldn’t see clearly either. But why do I feel… is the situation reversed?”

“…”

Only then did the majority realize what had just transpired.

But it was precisely because they saw clearly that there was a succession of gasps of amazement.

“Who exactly is the Air Skill Master wearing a Slave Collar in the Duke of Landon Team? How can they be so strong? A few punches have severely injured the Red Dragon’s vanguards… And, Controlling and Stepping on Air, is this a technique Card Disciples can master?”

“Strong indeed, but there are several members in the Red Dragon Team whose strengths are not inferior, like Willie from the Extreme Intent Fluctuation Flow, Quinn from Dragon Hawk Family, and the Black Witch from the Hobbs Family… Logically, there shouldn’t be such a big gap. What’s going on…”

“But, I saw that slave charging out at the very beginning; how did they remain in place and ambushed the Red Dragon’s two vanguard assassins?”

“We’ve all been deceived! This isn’t the Wing-clipping Strategy, but a Baiting Strategy… From the start, those from the Landon Family used their own Priest as bait, waiting for the Red Dragon members to fall into the trap. And then they really succeeded in their stealth attack. As for that Air Skill Master… He never left from the beginning. The one who charged out first must have been someone else; even the sound of the Air Explosion was deliberately imitated to mislead their opponents… Tsk-tsk, no wonder they started by disrupting vision, it was all part of this plan. To actually talk about tactics, this team from the Landon Family really has something worth watching… No wonder the college rated them ‘S’, I’m starting to understand now.”

“Bah! Scoundrels! To win, they used such despicable tactics. If it were on the actual battlefield, such people would also abandon their teammates…”

“…”

Once someone who understood explained, things suddenly became clear.

The tactic was simple, using bait and then successfully ambushing.

But the most ingenious part was, from the start, the Duke of Landon Team employed a clever plan.

That was: change the infirm for the strong.

Using two vanguards as a feint to tie up the strongest four from the Dragon Red Royal Family,

Then using the Priest with the weakest output to take out two ambushing assassins.

One support in exchange for two main forces.

From a tactical point of view, Leonard Churchill’s strategy was flawless.

And it also broadened the horizons of these Dragon Descendant students.

However, in truth, many students scorned it.

Because in the Dragonkin concept of victory and defeat, a duel is a contest of courage and strength.

Only through head-on physical confrontation can the real gap in strength between the two sides be measured.

This sort of tactically clever strategy always gives the Dragonkin a sense of an underserved victory.

…

In Leonard Churchill’s previous life, this strategy was called “Tian Ji’s horse racing”.

Using the weakest to hold off the opponent’s strongest, then the several strongest sides take out the opponent’s weakest first.

The Card Master’s level of combat doesn’t allow for epic battles spanning hundreds of rounds.

Even before advancement, the human body isn’t much stronger than that of an ordinary person.

Especially for Agility-based assassins who, if they expose themselves, can be severely injured on the spot.

David’s Overlord fist could injure a Second-tier Card Master, so dealing with two Card Disciples was certainly no problem.

Capture a momentary lapse, and the outcome might be decided immediately.

Just like what had just happened.

David and Garfield’s teamwork, one charging and one attacking, inflicted heavy damage on the opponent’s two vanguards in a short time.

And the prerequisite was, only if the opponent appeared, could David deliver a lethal blow.

So Jessica perfectly played the role of a fixed bait, just waiting to be stabbed.

The cost was, as a bait, Jessica “died.”

Serli also got a knife in the back of the neck, but being from the Lizard Race, he didn’t die on the spot.

In fact, things were exactly as Leonard Churchill had planned, without a single discrepancy.

If it were a real battle, Leonard Churchill would have carefully weighed using such a baiting strategy,

And most likely, he himself would have taken on the most dangerous baiting role.

But this was an exchange within the academy.

No one would die.
