61: Battle Analysis

The next day, when Ye Chen checked the abyss, the Second Expeditionary Force had already departed and had not yet returned.

This gave Ye Chen some comfort.

This time, they shouldn't return empty-handed again.

Still his favorite, the luxurious hand-grabbed pancake with red date-flavored soy milk, satisfied Ye Chen's taste buds early in the morning.

Upon entering the classroom, most of his classmates had already arrived and were whispering among themselves.

Seeing Ye Chen enter, the class fell silent.

Now, Ye Chen had become the recognized top expert in Shuguang Middle School, and he was on very close terms with Young Master Zhou, so no one foolish enough dared to provoke him anymore.

Ye Chen was naturally happy with this situation and couldn't be bothered to interact with them.

When class started, Teacher Liu walked to the podium, pushed up his glasses, and announced:

"Everyone experienced yesterday's invasion assessment. Regardless of your scores, I believe everyone learned something from it."

"Today, we will first announce the results, and then discuss a few typical combat cases."

"The best performer in our class is student Ye Chen, who achieved an excellent A-grade."

"In yesterday's senior year assessment, he was second only to Zhou Mingjie's A+ from Class Four, ranking second in the entire school!"

"Let us congratulate student Ye Chen on his excellent results. At the same time, everyone should learn from student Ye Chen. If you have any questions, you can ask student Ye Chen for guidance, and we can all make progress together."

After saying that, Teacher Liu led the applause. Scattered applause sounded in the class, but there was more whispering.

"Didn't they say Ye Chen defeated Zhou Mingjie? Why is his score lower in the assessment?"

"Who knows? Maybe he's better at bullying within his own circle and crumbles during formal exams."

"Heh... an A-grade is not bad. He can easily defeat a few of us."

"Nonsense, I'm also B-grade, okay? Rounding up, that's half-step A-grade. Who knows what would happen if we fought with our lives on the line!"

The whispers of his classmates clearly reached Ye Chen's ears. Ye Chen didn't care about their words, whether they were praise or criticism.

He was more concerned about his own score.

That Examiner clearly gave him a C-grade yesterday, so how did it jump to an A-grade overnight?

Could it be that he re-evaluated that battle and realized his mistake?

Shaking his head, he didn't think too deeply. He wasn't too surprised by Zhou Mingjie's A+ grade; after all, his army was considerable in both quantity and quality.

Even if the enemies in the assessment were at the same level as what he encountered, he could easily crush them.

As for Teacher Liu's suggestion to communicate and learn more... he just listened to it. Would he dare to teach if others dared to learn?

At this moment, Teacher Liu interrupted the students' discussion and then announced:

"Next is the second-place in our class, student Chu Tian, who received a B+ grade..."

Although Chu Tian's Elite-level Half-Orcs were good, their strength was still a bit low. He must have added other dependents.

As each score was announced, students had mixed reactions of joy and sorrow.

About seventy percent passed the assessment, which was generally quite good.

Only Su Qian sat in her seat with a dejected expression, out of place with the surrounding liveliness.

After reading out the scores, Teacher Liu selected a few classic cases for analysis and interpretation.

The first one was Ye Chen's battle.

Since only the battlefield area was intercepted and the full scope of his Divine Domain was not exposed, the news of Ye Chen's promotion to Demigod was also not revealed.

When they saw the opponent's neatly arrayed Orc army, the students couldn't help but gasp.

This was simply not on the same level as their opponents; it was not just a little bit stronger.

And Ye Chen's lineup also made them click their tongues in amazement.

The terrifying Worms that burrowed underground and the Vampire Bats with powerful skills. The air-ground coordinated combat of the two kept the Orc army in chaos.

This battle showed the students the response and command abilities a Divine Lord should possess.

How to use the skills and specialties of dependents to fight the enemy, and how dependents should cooperate with each other.

After watching Ye Chen's combat video, Teacher Liu let the students think for a few minutes, then asked:

"Students, after watching student Ye Chen's battle, what do you think was the biggest factor in his victory?"

A group of students eagerly spoke up.

"It must be a power crush! After all, they were Extraordinary-level Vampire Bats."

"It's still about great command! Otherwise, how could he pull off such a tricky maneuver?"

"It was clearly a sneak attack! Let them face the enemy head-on and see?"

Teacher Liu just smiled and said nothing after hearing them.

While the discussion was lively, Chu Tian suddenly blurted out:

"Timing! It's the grasp of timing!"

Chu Tian's words made Teacher Liu's spirits lift.

"Student Chu Tian's answer is very precise, it's timing!"

"The biggest highlight of this battle was student Ye Chen's grasp of timing."

"When to ambush, when to attack, when to evade, and when to fight head-on."

"The battlefield is always changing rapidly. No matter how well your tactics are formulated, you must adapt them according to the situation."

"Therefore, a qualified Divine Lord cannot just talk theory; he must learn to adapt and seize opportunities in battle."

The students all looked thoughtful after hearing this, while Ye Chen took a deep look at Chu Tian.

This kid knows too much!

Immediately after, Teacher Liu further disassembled and analyzed every step of Ye Chen's battle, summarizing its strengths and weaknesses.

Ye Chen also listened very carefully. He knew that although he held the title of a top student, his knowledge of Divine Domain combat was relatively weak.

The teacher's analysis of each step and the corresponding countermeasures also taught Ye Chen a lot.

After explaining Ye Chen's battle, he began to analyze Chu Tian's battle.

Chu Tian's opponent was a five-hundred-strong Elite-level Human Soldier unit.

Their professional configuration was also very good: Warriors + Archers + a small number of Priests.

Chu Tian's lineup consisted of eight hundred ordinary Half-Orcs plus two hundred Lizardmen.

Several dozens of these Lizardmen had already reached the Extraordinary-level and mastered the skill of Poisonous Miasma.

Chu Tian's approach was also very simple.

He placed the battlefield in a dense forest, limiting the effectiveness of the archers, and then had the Half-Orcs directly besiege them.

The powerful Lizardmen took advantage of the chaos to break into the formation and kill the Priests who possessed purification abilities, then released poisonous miasma, causing widespread poisoning among the Human Soldiers.

In the end, he also achieved an easy victory with minimal casualties.

Although this battle was simple, it also showed Chu Tian's solid foundation.

Even Ye Chen couldn't find any fault with it.

Low-level battles originally don't have too many tricks. Being able to effectively use all advantages like environment, terrain, and dependents is enough to be considered a qualified commander.

After all, this kid Chu Tian had a grudge against the original owner that could destroy a path. Although Ye Chen was confident that no one could surpass his own growth speed, keeping him alive was ultimately a hidden danger.

It seems he needs to find an opportunity to eliminate this menace.
