Mei Xueyan was frowning now, pacing back and forth, contemplating how best to exploit this "weakness."
One thing was certain: if this "weakness" could be properly utilized, it would undoubtedly deliver a devastating, perhaps even annihilating, blow to the enemy's stealth masters.
If the tactic succeeded and the results were favorable, it would be enough to deter them from employing invisibility tactics in future melees! And if they couldn't use that damned vanishing skill, what did their own side have to fear?
In past battles, the most troublesome elements were those bizarre fiends who vanished without warning.
And those who disappeared on a whim were also responsible for the highest number of casualties on Xuan Xuan's side!
But she frowned and pondered for a long time; although she now possessed this exploitable weakness, she still couldn't devise a concrete plan of action.
Just as Mei Xueyan was lost in deep thought, Young Master Jun suddenly appeared.
The current Jun Moxie seemed to carry a certain something about him.
Exactly what it was, even Mei Xueyan, the person involved, couldn't articulate; it was simply indescribable, just a vague feeling that Jun Moxie seemed different from before—very different.
In fact, Jun Moxie himself also possessed this peculiar sensation.
After absorbing this lightning tribulation, Jun Moxie immediately returned to the Hongjun Tower to regulate his energy, shouting a few times to vent his pent-up frustration and awkwardness. Unexpectedly, he discovered that the Hongjun Tower also seemed slightly different from before, as if some area was rippling widely, yet hadn't quite reached a critical threshold...
This strange alteration left Jun Moxie equally astonished and perplexed.
Simultaneously, Young Master Jun sensed that his cultivation realm was loosening again, showing the precursor signs just before a breakthrough.
The reason was easy to surmise: all these sudden changes must have been caused by the Hongjun Tower absorbing so much lightning energy! Although the feeling was odd, everything was trending in a favorable direction!
Could absorbing vast amounts of lightning energy actually help me accelerate my breakthrough and increase my strength?
On this point, Jun Moxie himself was somewhat uncertain, unable to clarify the matter.
It was for this very reason that he lingered in the Hongjun Tower for an extended period to delve deeply into this issue.
However, he never expected that during this time, not only would he fail to figure things out, but he would become increasingly confused, and worse, he missed the foremost master of the alien race outside! He missed that peak dialogue between the three major powers!
Young Master Jun stamped his foot and beat his chest, truly regretting it deeply. If he had been present just now, there was no way he would have let that "** be attacked" just walk away; no matter what, he should have let him truly be "attacked" at least once...
Young Master Jun sighed and lamented, deeply regretting missing such a heaven-sent opportunity.
The other party had clearly come to "be attacked," and he missed such a chance.
Of course, if he were to truly "attack," Young Master Jun would only use the Blood of Yan Huang to "attack"; he certainly wouldn't use that thing... to do that... umm, that that thing...
This heartfelt sighing and inexplicable sense of loss muttered to himself caused Mei Xueyan's delicate eyebrows to shoot up, nearly leading her to administer the Two-Finger Zen execution upon this fellow right then and there.
That divine technique all ladies instinctively master, practically the "greatest pain for men"!
Amidst his reflections, Young Master Jun only then noticed Mei Xueyan seemed deeply preoccupied and quickly offered solicitous inquiries.
After Mei Xueyan explained the matter with a frown, Jun Moxie’s expression instantly became grave.
If this could be properly utilized, it would undoubtedly be a formidable weapon!
Although Eagle King had successfully discovered this weakness, first, his forces were meager at the time; second, his capacity for quick adaptation was weak; and third, the situation itself was too chaotic, making it virtually impossible to implement effective, concrete measures.
As for Bear King...
Well, if he could figure out a way, he wouldn't be Bear King...
"This is the grand plan left to us by Little Eagle before his death! It is the greatest weapon against the alien race, and we must not treat it lightly! This plan might become the turning point against the alien race's high-tier fighting strength!" Mei Xueyan bit her lip, resolute.
Her brother had paid with his life to secure this intelligence, and in Mei Xueyan's heart, it was valued to the utmost extreme.
"I know! And I understand the gravity of this intelligence!" Jun Moxie mused, pacing back and forth, knitting his brows in deep thought. Images of all the battle records he had seen in his previous life flashed through his mind as he compared them one by one. Reviewing his experience fighting ninjas in his past life, it seemed a path lay ahead, but at first glance, it was hazy and indistinct, impossible to clearly articulate or define.
"Um, under what general circumstances would the alien race deploy a large contingent of high-level masters to battle?" Jun Moxie pondered, asking the question.
"For the alien side to mobilize Ghost Ninjas, Earth Ninjas, and Heaven Ninja-level masters en masse?! Unless the battle situation reaches a critical, life-or-death juncture. Only then would they deploy their entire cadre of masters to break through with full force, aiming for a decisive victory!"
"Or only then would the alien side truly deploy those vast numbers of masters capable of turning the tide!" Mei Xueyan frowned.
"But if that time truly comes, I fear our side's fighting strength will be reduced by seven or eight tenths! Even if everyone's strength improves significantly, in terms of participating numbers, we will still be at an absolute disadvantage. Their combatants might outnumber ours by thirty, fifty, or even a hundred times. If the enemy employs human-wave tactics, we will inevitably be dragged into a state of exhausting defense. Even if we manage to hold on, what will we have left to deal with the subsequent fighting? Manpower is finite after all!" Jun Moxie's brow furrowed tighter.
"Precisely! This aspect is indeed very difficult to gauge. If handled poorly, it could backfire, leading the alien race to feel emboldened, which would truly bring endless future calamities!" Mei Xueyan looked troubled.
To know that the alien side possessed a fatal weakness they could exploit, yet be utterly incapable of devising a concrete method—this feeling was maddening!
"I believe that in the initial clashes, the enemy will not deploy too many high-level masters. Even if Earth Ninjas and Heaven Ninjas participate, there certainly won't be many."
Jun Moxie said calmly, "Therefore, in the ordinary course of engagement, we just need people to be vigilant and observant; there shouldn't be excessively heavy losses under the alien stealth attacks. Thus, this tactic cannot be used in regular combat!"
"Yes." A genuine look of sorrow crossed Mei Xueyan's eyes.
No matter which engagement it was, casualties were unavoidable!
"As for the final decisive battle... the final battle..." Jun Moxie’s eyes grew brighter, and he suddenly clapped his hands, "I have it. We can do this and this."
"How so, this and this?" Mei Xueyan's spirit lifted, and she didn't fault Jun Moxie’s rambling speech.
"Like this: we will concentrate all our Saint Venerable level masters, and at the appropriate moment, intersperse them onto the absolute front lines of the main battle between the two sides. Then, lock onto the enemy masters from a distance. It doesn't require complete mental locking; each person only needs to remember a few faces. Once they notice those people suddenly vanish, it means the alien side has deployed their master contingent, and many have used their invisibility skills to rush over. That should be correct, right?" Jun Moxie smiled. "Indeed. If multiple enemy masters vanish simultaneously, it naturally means they are charging. Is that not obvious?" Mei Xueyan looked slightly confused.
"Don't rush, let me finish explaining. Our forces will divide into four waves here. The first wave will focus entirely on defending themselves, prioritizing the maintenance of the enemy's attack. Then, the second wave will begin attacking the empty air three zhang around the front and above the first wave; the next, the third wave, will unleash large-area indiscriminate attacks within a six zhang radius above the first and second waves. The final wave will provide dense, covering indiscriminate attacks across a ten zhang radius!"
As Jun Moxie spoke, he picked up a stone and roughly sketched the attack waves he was describing on the ground. "Like this: after the completion of the back three waves of attack, all personnel will immediately charge into the main body of the alien forces, utilizing the dense tactics of mixed friend and foe to neutralize the effectiveness of those invisible bastards!"
"I predict that after these three waves of attack, at least half of the alien stealth masters will be annihilated!" Jun Moxie threw the stone down. "This is a measure of last resort, the clumsiest countermeasure. But if coordinated well, it is currently the most effective targeted strategy!" Mei Xueyan crouched down, carefully examining the attack waves Jun Moxie had drawn, thinking slowly for a while. "Not bad. As of now, this is indeed the only method we can conceive of that can effectively inflict heavy damage on a large number of alien stealth masters."
"Remember, the key to this plan lies in... the Huitian Pills!" Jun Moxie's eyes flashed. "All warriors, if injured, must not take them at that time! They must hold out until the enemy believes we are at the end of our rope and unleashes their entire army of masters. Only then, when taking the Huitian Pills together, can we execute this plan to deliver the severest blow to the enemy!"
"Yes!" Mei Xueyan frowned. "However, if we do that, sacrifices are unavoidable!"
Jun Moxie said heavily, "Perhaps this is the price we are about to pay!"
Mei Xueyan let out a long sigh, feeling as if something was clogging her chest, a heavy, suffocating discomfort.
"It must be this way!" Jun Moxie tilted his head back, re-examining the plan carefully, and sighed deeply, stating decisively, "This is not a time for soft-hearted compassion! I also wish for the brothers to return unharmed, without losing a single hair, but... this is clearly impossible!"
"Um, perhaps there is one more thing we can utilize," Mei Xueyan said, a divine light flashing in her eyes.
"What is it?" Jun Moxie asked hastily.
