380: This analysis will not be delayed.

Amidst the sky-covering yellow sand, Jian Wanzhong led Ye Hei and This Time Bu Ge in searching for the Dragon Scion.

That Dragon Scion had fled for a long time, attacking many faction camps along the way and devouring many Yao Beasts and Spirit Beasts. Its strength was rapidly improving.

Jian Wanzhong felt somewhat uneasy about this and couldn't help but speed up the search.

About three days later, they finally discovered traces of the Dragon Scion.

The Dragon Scion's appearance was that of a Dragon formed from accumulated sand. According to the four Guards, it was almost identical to the True Dragon recorded in history, except that its eyes were hollow and pitch black.

Its claws, constructed of yellow sand, could already summon clouds and rain, and when it traversed the sky, it could unleash thunder. When its Dragon head was raised high, flames would also shoot out.

Whether in appearance or ability, it was evolving in the direction of a Dragon.

"This Dragon Scion's Bloodline... I fear it exceeds our expectations."

Jian Wanzhong's expression was solemn: "No wonder Father wanted me to focus on hunting it. It truly cannot be ignored."

Jian Wanzhong possessed Fifth Rank strength, and wielding the jian xie sword, along with the cooperation of the other four Guards, he was able to contend with this Dragon Scion.

But just half a month later, the Dragon Scion's power grew stronger. Its sharp claws, composed of yellow sand, could actually cross the great void to unleash thunder and Blazing Fire, instantly making everyone suffer immensely.

Jian Wanzhong could only unseal a portion of the jian xie sword's power to fight against it, but given his cultivation, he ultimately felt somewhat strained.

On this day, the group fought the Dragon Scion in a wilderness covered with sandstone.

The four Guards each displayed their techniques. Strange phenomena constantly appeared in the sky and on the ground, and the blinding light made it impossible for people to open their eyes.

Jian Wanzhong held the jian xie sword, seemingly brewing something, and did not immediately make a move.

Ye Hei and This Time Bu Ge were protected by a barrier and did not participate in the battle.

"They are Fifth Rank? Why doesn't the scale of this battle look like it..."

This Time Bu Ge frantically recorded everything he saw.

Jian Wanzhong had not acted yet, but judging from previous battles, his skill level was extremely high.

And those four Guards were also remarkable. Every move and stance could draw upon Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, creating power far exceeding that of ordinary Fifth Rank individuals.

"Guard Qing's perception ability is extraordinary. He can clearly grasp the Spiritual Qi atmosphere of the surrounding world, and even distinguish the changes in Spiritual Qi in every inch of space.

"Therefore, he can not only allow the team to mobilize the most effective Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, but also capture the enemy's movements in advance.

"Guard Chi possesses powerful swordsmanship. It is not Flying Sword, but close-quarters combat wielding a sword. Every sword strike he delivers leaves behind lingering charm, which should be an application of Sword Intent.

"These lingering charms constantly expand and threaten the enemy, ultimately forcing the enemy into a corner, where they die aggrieved amidst the sky-full of Sword Intent.

"Guard Mo possesses various unique techniques, capable of continuously weakening the enemy, or directly trapping the enemy within a small barrier.

"Guard Tu has ultimate defense. He withstood the Dragon Scion's repeated thunder attacks relying solely on his Physical Body, which is truly astonishing.

"And these four people together form a nearly perfect team..."

After analyzing this, This Time Bu Ge sighed thoughtfully:

"So that's how it is. Because they are Guards specially trained by a major Family, they possess a complete Legacy and have clear divisions of responsibility.

"Therefore, from the very first step of cultivation, they are trained towards a preset direction. They don't need to study a wide range of things; they only need to specialize in one area.

"Individually, they might seem less knowledgeable and versatile than ordinary Cultivators, but these Guards, when combined, far surpass the same number of ordinary Cultivators.

"This cultivation model is probably the most suitable for us players..."

Just as he thought of this, This Time Bu Ge suddenly froze.

"Taking things for granted. How could players cooperate seamlessly..."

This Time Bu Ge thought of the various MMORPG games that were popular on Blue Star, as well as their subsequent spin-offs.

Designers particularly liked using the Warrior-Mage-Priest team combination, or the DPS-Tank-Support combination.

In short, players were required to choose a role, specialize in that Dao, and had to team up with others to play the game normally.

In the era when games were scarce, games designed this way had a large number of players, even loyal fanatics, who tirelessly formed teams and complemented each other.

However, as the times developed and more games emerged, these types of games fell into an awkward Realm.

The top MMORPG on Blue Star, which had a massive lead in player count, still faced the awkward situation where three DPS players would form a team and wait for a healer and a tank for half an hour or even an hour.

Furthermore, sometimes a healer would join, take a look, and say, 'Oh, I don't like this DPS class, let's kick him.'

Inevitably, team games with distinct roles declined, replaced by games that blurred roles, and many games even began to downplay the concept of "team."

It was the same in the Xuanhuan World. Even if players formed teams, it was just to fill the numbers, and they had no intention of distinguishing classes or roles.

"Compared to specializing in a certain role and forming a complementary team, players probably prefer an all-rounder like Jian Wanzhong, right?"

This Time Bu Ge looked at Jian Wanzhong, who was holding his sword and gathering momentum, and clicked his tongue.

He was younger than anyone else, yet his strength was greater than anyone else's.

Jian Wanzhong possessed all the techniques of the four Guards, and even stronger ones.

"The Jian Family only lets the Guards take the specialist route, while letting their young master take the all-rounder route. I think the proper path in the Xuanhuan World is still to learn from various sources and raise one's Dao cultivation as much as possible..."

This Time Bu Ge recorded his analysis, preparing to post a video later.

At this moment, he looked at Ye Hei beside him and asked curiously once again:

"Ye Hei, do you truly have no player privileges? No resurrection? Cannot use the communication System? Cannot use the transaction System?"

Ye Hei smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Truly none."

This Time Bu Ge frowned and asked again: "Did you feel anything special when cultivating?"

Ye Hei smiled bitterly and said: "Other than cultivation being extremely slow, I felt nothing else."

This Time Bu Ge's frown deepened.

He had been thinking about the future development of the players these past few days.

The Xuanhuan World is full of powerful individuals. The matters of the Prison Land were also known to the Jian Family, and the state-stabilizing seal and others were simultaneously searching for the "Immortal Path" leading to the Burial Emperor Star.

The two worlds could connect at any time.

When that happens, it won't be as simple as being full of powerful individuals; the powerful will be greatly devalued. Any stray dog on the roadside might be a Fifth Rank Great Yao.

Therefore, This Time Bu Ge wanted to find a way for the players to quickly become stronger.

He considered the method of dividing labor and specializing in certain techniques, but he quickly discarded it himself.

It was absolutely impossible for players to be so selfless.

He also considered relying on the Jian Family to let the players quickly become stronger.

However, the Jian Family's attitude towards him and Ye Hei made This Time Bu Ge understand that the Jian Family did not shelter just anyone, and many players would likely not be accepted by the Jian Family.

This was not the most perfect path; players still had to rely on themselves to become stronger.

Thus, he thought of the plan that players had discussed during the initial phase of the Burial Emperor Star:

Cultivating Ye Hei.
