Douluo: Dream Overlord

Chapter 151 Battle Formation

Battle formations represent the foundation of an academy, and also embody the academy's philosophy of combat.

Just like the war of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, it belongs to the best system lineup of one strong attack type, one control type, two agility attack types, one defense type and one support type.

This system lineup has the resources and strength to fight in any situation, preventing the team from being unable to exert its due combat power due to the main carry being eliminated.

Even in the real Soul Master teams that hunt Soul Beasts in the Soul Master world, battle formations are an essential part of common knowledge, and every Soul Master knows or understands some battle formations to some extent.

In fact, they belong to the armies of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Dou Empire, and each has its own military formation.

Battle formations are like the foundation of a nation, representing the essence of all its people.

As time went by, the battle formation of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy developed its weaknesses.

Because he challenged and defeated Osro, taking his place, it also means that he has taken on the responsibility of occupying a position in Osro's combat system.

Previously, as an agility-type Soul Master, Oslo's effect was to disrupt and ambush Soul Masters from the side.

This allows you to not only harass the enemy Soul Master, but also seize opportunities to assist your teammates in completing the kill.

In the past, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy always used this formation in battles because this ratio of Soul Masters is the most normal configuration in the Soul Master world.

Now that time is coming, it will be very awkward for them, because they will have to rearrange the team's Soul Master system.

It's important to have a mature and effective system in place to ensure that your team doesn't lose due to flaws in your tactics.

The current Heaven Dou Royal Team is a team of Soul Masters with one offensive type, two control type, one agility type, one defense type, and one support type.

While this approach reduces the risk of flanking attacks and disruptions against enemy squads, it correspondingly increases the ability to control the enemy and intervene in a timely manner to take control of the situation.

It has both advantages and disadvantages.

Shi Guang thought that if she were the captain, she would definitely choose to remove the agility-based attack type, because the agility-based attack type has a very low status among soul masters.

Even Zhu Zhuqing, one of the Shrek Seven Devils in the original work, did not have a very high status in the team. It was only through her and Dai Mubai's spirit fusion skill that the Netherworld White Tiger was able to gain a foothold in the team.

The characteristic of the Agility-based Soul Master is that in the early stages, they cannot compete with the Power-based Soul Masters. In the mid-stages, they cannot break through the defenses of the Defense-based Soul Masters. In the late stages, they are powerless against the control of the Controller. Even when facing the Support-based Soul Masters, they will be intercepted by their teammates and will not be able to break through their defenses.

Time does not intend to add agility-type Soul Masters to the team.

If it were a team he created, the ideal configuration of Soul Masters would be two offensive types, two control types, two defensive types, and one support type.

Although this reduces the ability to interfere with enemy Soul Masters, it greatly enhances both offensive capabilities and defensive capabilities.

Especially as a control-type Soul Master, his abilities and role are equivalent to a combination of several agility-type Soul Masters.

After all, his martial soul is of the mental type, and he always has a unique advantage in both ranged and melee combat when using mental power.

It was simply because he was too exhausted from the battle, and his mental energy was not something he could use at will.

This kind of move is used as a killing move even after Soul Saint level. Even for mental-type Soul Masters, the effect and power can be used in the early stages, and the consumption of the move will be reduced, and the power will be greatly increased.

Of course, that's an awkward problem faced by ordinary spirit-type soul masters.

They lack the strength of their predecessors and can only rely on their own trial and error to explore the path to the future. This may lead to damage to their martial souls, making them unable to absorb soul rings, thus sealing off their future potential.

But with the aid of time and the help of meditation, these problems are not a concern.

As a meditation method that is also a Remnant Dream Martial Soul, the current meditation method is of great help to Shi Guang. It allows him to cultivate his spiritual techniques while also focusing on improving his spiritual power, making the frequency and quality of his spiritual power release more sustainable.

This is a great thing for him, as it means that whether in life or in battle, he can store and use more spiritual power, and it is also more extensive and powerful than that of other spiritual soul masters of the same level.

If you look at it this way in the early stages, the only advantage might be being able to unleash mental power skills more often, but what about in the later stages?

It is no exaggeration to say that battles between Soul Masters in the later stages have basically deviated from the contest of Soul Power, and the contest is now about the effects of the Soul Skills of Martial Souls and the clash of mental power.

There are also competitions between different fields.

It's no exaggeration to say that Shi Guang's current mental strength is such that if he reaches the Soul Saint realm or even higher in the future, he will probably be invincible. Apart from those at the top of the Soul Master world, almost everyone else will be no match for him.

In terms of soul power, thanks to the enhancement of various immortal herbs and whale glue, he already belongs to the top tier of physical qualities among his peers.

This means that both the degree to which he absorbs soul power and the speed at which he absorbs and extracts external soul power in battle will become faster as his physical fitness improves and his internal meridians expand.

He wanted to thank God for giving him this opportunity, allowing him to go to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in place of Tang San and obtain these rare opportunities that ordinary soul masters would envy.

If these opportunities were left out, even a single immortal herb would be a top-tier resource capable of causing a major battle between Title Douluo or Soul Douluo.

As the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy is a resource-concentrated institution of the empire, it is also extremely lacking in immortal herbs.

Just like the Soul Gathering Grass used by the Timeline, it is a relatively precious herb even in the Heaven Dou Empire. It can gather the surrounding soul power for soul masters to absorb, which is extremely convenient.

But Time knew that the effects of these magical herbs were not very good, because they were all the type of magical herbs that could be propagated, so their effects were better than nothing.

The purest medicinal herbs are all of the highest quality; once one is used, it's gone forever, and the word "regeneration" is absolutely inappropriate to describe them.

Don't you see that time, in the interplay of ice and fire, has only harvested these immortal herbs once? As for those that haven't grown and those that are merely seeds, they are left behind.

He simply harvested the seeds and the immature ones, planted them in flowerpots, and waited for them to be nourished in the future. After all, these plants could survive in the black light, as they had grown strong for many years in the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.
