477: Three major changes in sea creatures

The people in the hall looked at one another, and for a time, no one spoke!

Everyone knew that to be able to Cultivate a blade aura to a distance of one zhang, one must at least possess the Realm of an Advanced Martial Commander. Coupled with his title of Sword Saint, it was clear that he had reached the pinnacle of insight and combat power in swordsmanship, likely rivaling a Martial King. Thus, there were only a handful of people who could deal with him.

Xu Yanran remained calm upon seeing this and said, "I have several videos here of him taking action in our Great Ming several months ago. Please, everyone, take a look!"

These videos were sent to her by Long Yuan a few days ago; they were the videos of Yokota Ichiro attacking those Evil Cultists in the Demon Wood Forest, as well as his battle with Liu Rushi at the lotus pond.

Everyone watched these videos intently, with expressions of disbelief on their faces!

The Commander was actually able to obtain such information!

One had to know that it was impossible to install hidden cameras in the dense forest in advance, because no one knew where he would encounter enemies. Furthermore, the lighting in the forest was dim, yet the footage was so clear; some Advanced technological tool must have been used.

Furthermore, who was Yokota Ichiro? He could be called the number one person in Fusang. His senses must be incredibly sharp; who could hide nearby to film his actions without being discovered?

These two questions were already shocking, but what was even more shocking was that a young woman could actually fight Yokota Ichiro to such an intense degree, only suffering a narrow defeat by one move at the end!

Judging from the scene, Yokota Ichiro had clearly used his full strength to barely win!

"Who is this woman?! She looks like someone from our Great Ming!" Tang Zhenye asked urgently.

"Her name is Liu Rushi!" Xu Yanran replied.

"Haha, my good granddaughter!" Liu Xihe, Sect Leader of Kunlun Sect, laughed proudly.

"What?!" Some of the uninformed people in the hall were greatly astonished, all shaken! Of course, there were also some who had long known of Liu Rushi's existence, so a strange expression appeared on their faces.

For instance, people from the Xu Family viewed Liu Rushi as a threat to the Xu Family. Especially regarding the matter of Long Yuan, they believed that Liu Rushi had seriously threatened Xu Ruoying's room for development and was a significant hidden danger.

As for people from other Families, most looked at Liu Xihe, Sect Leader of Kunlun Sect, with envy at this moment. In their view, since the Liu Family had produced a Liu Rushi, they would likely have hope of becoming a prominent Family in the future!

Upon hearing this, Tang Zhenye pondered and said, "So it is Brother Liu's granddaughter. At such a young age, she is already so remarkable, able to fight fiercely with Yokota Ichiro for a long time before losing by a single move. I wonder how her situation is now? Has she made great progress?"

Liu Xihe, Sect Leader of Kunlun Sect, said noncommittally, "I am not very clear about her situation right now. She suffered a minor injury in that battle a few months ago and needs to recuperate, so I did not let her come this time!"

"So that's it!" Tang Zhenye realized. He stood up resolutely and said, "Let me deal with Yokota Ichiro! His swordsmanship is actually quite interesting!"

"Elder Tang, just be careful, I will provide support from the side!" Xu Yanran nodded and said.

Tang Zhenye nodded. With an Advanced Mind Power Master like Xu Yanran providing support, he basically had no worries!

Xu Yanran added, "Analyzing the current situation, we must prepare for the worst!"

"The worst?" Everyone was slightly stunned and looked at her, wondering why she said that.

Xu Yanran nodded and said, "Because the situation with the Sea Race is unclear, and we have not fought the Sea Race for many years, we must prepare for the worst to have a chance of holding our foundation under adversity. We must know that we cannot afford to lose. If we let the Sea Race drive straight in, our losses will be immeasurable!"

Hearing her say this, the atmosphere in the hall became heavy. Everyone nodded slightly, agreeing with her statement.

Tang Zhenye asked, "What is the worst-case scenario the Commander speaks of? And what does the foundation refer to?"

"Let us ask Senior Master Qing Yuan, our military analyst on the Northern Battlefield, to explain!" Xu Yanran turned and said to Master Qing Yuan, the Dean of the Deer Riding Academy.

Master Qing Yuan wore a square cap and a Confucian robe, with a long beard on his chin, appearing gentle and elegant, with a faint aura of righteousness emanating from him.

After hearing Xu Yanran's words, he nodded, cleared his throat, and said, "After studying the combat data between the Sea Race and the Human Race from hundreds of years ago, as well as the recent data on the Sea Race's battles with Snow Eagle Country, War Bear Country, and Flying Lion Country, I have discovered that the Sea Race has undergone three major changes!"

"Three major changes?!" Everyone's spirits lifted upon hearing this, and they quickly leaned in to listen.

"First, the overall combat power of the Sea Race has increased by a level! Hundreds of years ago, they relied on countless ordinary beasts to charge and break through lines, using their piled-up corpses to forcefully stack up to our city walls before the Sea Race experts behind could attack into the city. This tactic was primitive, crude, cruel, and bloody. But now, the number of ordinary beasts they drive is limited; they mainly use low-level sea beasts for charging, and the quantity is still countless. Their impact and combat power are incomparable to the past," said Master Qing Yuan.

These words immediately silenced everyone. It would not be an exaggeration to describe the current Sea Race as having upgraded their arsenal. Many experts, if they were not absolute experts, would feel their scalps tingle when facing a large group of ranked exotic beasts, because once entangled by them, there was likely only one outcome! That was to be trapped within them!

Master Qing Yuan paused slightly and added, "Second, super experts have appeared among the Sea Race! And there are quite a few of them!"

"My God!!!" Everyone finally couldn't help but clamor, because this point was even more terrifying. A significant number of super experts were an extremely terrifying threat at any time.

"Estimating from the data I have obtained, among their super experts, there are those whose Cultivation Realm exceeds Martial Commander, as well as those with special racial talents. No matter who we encounter, we must handle it carefully and must never be blindly arrogant!" said Master Qing Yuan.

"The Dean is right!" Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Third, they now also pay attention to tactical strategies. They will not just charge and kill like before, but will use some schemes, such as surrounding without attacking to wage a war of attrition, feigning defeat to set up ambushes, using seawater to attack the city, and surprise attacks by experts, etc..." Master Qing Yuan became more and more excited as he spoke, and the expressions of the people listening changed again and again.

Terrible, it was truly terrible. They never imagined that the seafood that used to be slaughtered at will by the Human Race had now developed to the point of being able to use schemes to deal with the Human Race!

Under the current circumstances, I am afraid we can no longer view these seafood with old eyes, but must treat them as equals; otherwise, I fear that suffering losses will be right before our eyes!

Seeing that everyone was stunned by Master Qing Yuan, Xu Yanran sighed inwardly and said, "Senior, I wonder if you could explain in more detail how they use seawater to attack the city?"

"Yes, if they can really mobilize seawater to attack the city, can our Shanhai Pass hold?"

"This point is indeed very critical!"

"Please Senior, tell us quickly..."
