Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 1341: Chapter 1341: The First Challenge

Wang Tianli had a smile on his face, wondering what they knew. Himself, though appearing free and easy now, had long secured a spot in the Tai Academy. Although Tai Academy is a level below the Royal Academy, it is still not a place just anyone can enter, which is why he had the liberty to act so freely here.

Suddenly, a person hurried over. It was none other than the young master who had been thrown out of the tavern along with Wang Tianli back then.

”Brother Wang, Brother Wang, look quickly, it’s that kid—he’s actually going to participate in the Yibao Commerce Guild’s challenge!”

”Which kid?”

Wang Tianli was stunned for a moment and didn’t react immediately.

The man did not respond but waved his hand, and an image appeared, revealing it was Ye Luo!

”Haha, him? He wants to participate in the Yibao Commerce Guild’s challenge? Come on, brothers, this will be a show. How long do you think he can last?”

”Just an ordinary person, I don’t think he would even qualify to enter!”

A group of people chattered endlessly, none of them optimistic about Ye Luo!

At this moment, many people in Nan Zhou City were paying attention to Ye Luo. It wasn’t because Ye Luo was famous; in fact, Ye Luo was just an unknown minor figure. However, the challenge of Yibao Commerce Guild was extremely renowned, which is why Ye Luo’s participation naturally drew a lot of attention.

...

”Young master, please.”

An elder from the Yibao Commerce Guild gestured politely to Ye Luo, who was now standing before a private room. Inside the room was a gaming pod used for virtual battles.

Ye Luo nodded. If placed on Earth, such a gaming pod would definitely be technology of the future. Today, Ye Luo could experience it himself.

Ye Luo lay down in the gaming pod, and the pod’s computer immediately reacted.

Moments later, Ye Luo felt a blur before his eyes, and he had already entered the challenge set by the Yibao Commerce Guild.

As Ye Luo appeared, a person from the Yibao Commerce Guild was already waiting for him.

”Hello, challenger, welcome to the ’Two Realms Remnant Diagrams’ challenge. You have half an hour; within this half an hour, you need to break through this remnant diagram!”

As the person introduced, a vast battlefield unfolded before Ye Luo’s eyes—a gigantic battleground where at least a million warriors were engaged in fierce combat. The so-called ’Two Realms’ referred to the two battling forces, and it was called the ’Remnant Diagram’ because the side under Ye Luo’s control was about to be defeated.

At this moment, Ye Luo had transformed into a marshal commanding thousands of troops, and beside him were five command flags, each representing an army of ten thousand warriors—Ye Luo’s last remnants of power!

Ye Luo made no move but simply observed the battlefield. His Divine Sense was pushed to the limit, attempting to understand every corner of the battlefield as much as possible.

As he watched, a sudden inspiration struck in Ye Luo’s mind—it seemed that this battlefield could be represented in a much simpler way!

What came to Ye Luo’s mind was the game of Go from Earth!

Go, originally modeled from the battlefield, takes shape accordingly. Of course, the actual battlefield is much more complex and ever-changing compared to Go.

For instance, at this moment, while Ye Luo is observing with Divine Sense, both sides of warriors have already plunged into a melee. However, overall, it is Ye Luo’s side that is forced into a passive position.

”Report, General, an enemy cavalry unit has suddenly appeared and is encircling and slaughtering our troops!”

A messenger rushed in and then marked on the map the position of the enemy’s ten-thousand-man cavalry unit!

Ye Luo’s Divine Sense swiftly swept over, only to see a team of iron cavalry sweeping through the battlefield, leaving not a blade of grass standing where they passed. Moments later, the fifty thousand troops being besieged there were already defeated!

Ye Luo’s brows furrowed tightly, and in his mind, he had already constructed the whole battlefield situation like a Go game.

The massive consumption of Divine Sense made Ye Luo feel quite strained, but he knew that now was not the time to hesitate; he must make arrangements immediately, otherwise, the situation was bound to be lost.

Suddenly, with a wave of his hand, Ye Luo quickly deployed a command flag.

At the same time, from his command tent, a ten-thousand-man archer unit was directly teleported to the battlefield.

However, they were far away from the main battlefield!

What is Ye Luo trying to do?

No one knows. In fact, in the eyes of the outside world, aside from a few powerful individuals, most people simply cannot comprehend the intricate complexities of the battlefield!

The main challenge of this level is to understand the arrangements between oneself and the enemy within a short time and then come up with corresponding strategies. If one acts rashly, it can be said that with the five command flags in hand, they are utterly useless!

Unfortunately, previous challengers either didn’t think to use Divine Sense to observe the whole situation or their Divine Sense wasn’t strong enough to observe it.

And even those who could observe the whole situation with Divine Sense, couldn’t construct a strategic map of the enemy and our positions in their minds as quickly as Ye Luo did, using the approach of Go.

So, actually, from the beginning, a loss was inevitable!

”What is that young man doing?”

Inside the City Lord’s Mansion, the Junior City Lord watched Ye Luo’s arrangements with bewilderment. In fact, the Junior City Lord had also participated in the challenge, but had ended in failure.

At this time, he didn’t know that Ye Luo didn’t take him seriously at all and had reported his attempt to buy him over to Nalan Rou. At the moment, the Junior City Lord still thought that Ye Luo had surrendered to him and even felt that Ye Luo’s participation in the challenge was actually to increase his influence within the Nalan Family.

Unlike ordinary people, the Junior City Lord had received military training. The Great Tang Empire was not as tranquil as it might appear; conflicts around it never ceased. Therefore, almost every City Lord, Junior City Lord must undertake military training to be ready to be deployed to the battlefield when necessary.

Of course, to be able to join the battlefield, even the lowest soldier must reach the realm of the six Qi Cyclones, so it really doesn’t have much to do with Nan Zhou City, a small city inside the Great Tang Empire.

Unfortunately, no one answered the Junior City Lord’s question because none of the people around him could understand what Ye Luo was doing either!

Ye Luo, calm and composed, after deploying those ten thousand archers, immediately arranged another ten thousand infantry troops not far from the archers, and that location was right next to the enemy. That is to say, the enemy would undoubtedly notice Ye Luo’s arrangement there!

Sure enough, moments later, the enemy reacted. Tens of thousands of troops were suddenly mobilized within their formation, and they charged towards the ten thousand men Ye Luo had deployed on the periphery, momentarily easing the pressure on the besieged flank of the large army!

Ye Luo’s lips curled up; his plan had succeeded!
