Invincible Little School Doctor-Chapter 1780: Only an Idiot Would Think That!
Yang Yi’s group numbers around a thousand, and Ye Xian brought more, over three thousand people.
It’s not that Ye Hao values Ye Haochuan more than Yang Sen does, but the Ancient Martial Arts Sect has always been more resourceful than the Institute of Extensive Learning, with a more abundant supply of combat personnel.
The already cramped corridors were suddenly overcrowded, and Ye Haochuan had no choice but to select a site within the Institute’s territory to reorganize.
Ye Haochuan hadn’t previously let the Phantom Sound Pavilion members out because he was worried there might still be spies from the Evil Sect within the Institute. If the Evil Sect discovered his reorganization plans ahead of time and became prepared, the effectiveness of the unit would be greatly diminished.
But given the current situation, there was no time to worry about all that, so he had to speed up as much as possible, hoping the Evil Sect wouldn’t react too quickly.
The Imprinting Method is not difficult, and after Zi Mengqi’s instruction a few times, most of the Array Masters in the group had learned it. With so many people working simultaneously, the speed of imprinting improved significantly.
In just about an hour or two, everyone had imprinted the corresponding Formation Seal.
Next was the process of familiarizing themselves with the Formation. Due to time constraints, they could only briefly learn about the Formation’s functions and methods of use, and would further explore it during combat.
However, these individuals are all elites, relatively familiar with Formations, and it’s believed they would not take too long to master it.
Upon completion of the reorganization, the team of over three thousand cultivators from the Ancient Martial Arts Sect combined with a thousand from the Institute, along with a thousand elites selected from the Phantom Sound Pavilion, formed a unit of over five thousand people.
This group of five thousand is not the same as the five thousand that dealt with Li Mei.
At that time, out of the five thousand brought out from the Phantom Sound Pavilion headquarters, the third part was merely cannon fodder, and the second part’s combat ability was also disappointing, with only the seven hundred in the first part being truly useful.
Now each seven-person team in this five thousand-member group is much stronger than the previous First Section, and their combat power cannot be compared.
"Haochuan, where shall we strike next?" Ye Xian’s eyes subtly glimmered with excitement as he glanced at the elite force behind him.
Before Ye Haochuan could respond, Yang Yi’s cold voice rang out: "Isn’t it obvious? We break the Evil Sect’s encirclement to connect the territories of the Institute and Ancient Martial Arts Sect, and then advance cautiously, driving the Evil Sect out of the Imperial Capital!"
Yang Yi was somewhat impressed by Ye Haochuan, though more astonished by his rapid growth than by his leadership abilities.
In his view, Ye Haochuan, just a youngster in his twenties, having never experienced war, couldn’t possibly know how to command an army in battle.
As for the accomplishment of defeating ten thousand from the Evil Sect, he dismissed it with a laugh.
According to his knowledge, Ye Haochuan succeeded entirely due to the timely appearance of the Poison Bee King. Without it, Ye Haochuan would have been buried in Youlang Gorge with the Phantom Sound Pavilion people.
Given such achievements, he couldn’t fathom why Yang Sen suggested learning from Ye Haochuan.
Yang Yi’s remarks irked Ye Xian. It was clear he didn’t see Ye Haochuan as a Commander.
"Brother Yi, now Haochuan is the Commander, let’s hear what he has to say!"
Faced with the impending battle, Ye Xian didn’t want to cause too much discord within the ranks, though his tone was not harsh, it reflected his dissatisfaction.
"Ye Xian, I know you cherish your precious son deeply. But at his age, how could he know anything about warfare? Such strategic decisions naturally require guidance from experienced people like us!" Yang Yi, forgetting Yang Sen’s advice, spoke arrogantly.
"Yang Yi, you..."
Ye Xian was instantly angered, but before he could speak, Ye Haochuan stopped him.
Ye Haochuan laughed and said, "If we’re talking about age, you Third Master Yang have lived a few decades longer than I have, why not share your wisdom then?"
The words "lived longer" nearly angered Yang Yi, but hearing the latter part made him feel Ye Haochuan was conceding.
"Since you sincerely ask, I won’t hesitate to teach you!"
Yang Yi smugly stated, "The Evil Sect was able to suppress us quickly because they caught us off guard, splitting our three unions, preventing coordinated actions.
To win, we must break their blockade and unite the three unions to increase our strength, making the Evil Sect retreat without a fight. Understanding this, even a fool would know what to do, right?"
"Indeed, fools would believe so!" Ye Haochuan sneered.
Initially proud, Yang Yi’s fury erupted like a fountain at Ye Haochuan’s words, "Dare you call me a fool, assuming your father is here, I wouldn’t dare teach you a lesson?"
"I honestly don’t want to call you a fool, but you insist on acting like one, how could I hold back?" Ye Haochuan "sighed".
Chuckle~
Many around couldn’t help but chuckle at Ye Haochuan’s words.
Yang Yi’s face turned as ugly as if he’d lost something vital, roaring wildly, "You call my plan foolish, come up with a smart strategy then! I want to see how smart you really are!"
"May I ask, what is the current distribution of the Evil Sect’s combat forces?" Ye Haochuan didn’t answer directly, but asked instead.
Frowning, Yang Yi snorted, "Haven’t you seen the intel? The Evil Sect’s main forces are suppressing the Ancient Martial Arts Sect and our Institute’s battlefield."
"Even an idiot knows this intel, does it need to come from you?" Ye Haochuan retorted bluntly.
"What did you say?" Yang Yi gritted his teeth, his bulging eyes seemingly ready to devour Ye Haochuan.
"The Evil Sect has certain strategic objectives in encircling us, not simply to separate the Institute and Ancient Martial Arts Sect permanently, don’t you think?" Ye Haochuan scoffed.
Ye Xian suddenly realized, chiming in, "Their initial goal must have been to stall our Ancient Martial Arts Sect and the Institute, aiming to eliminate the Phantom Sound Pavilion first."
Saying this, he wore a sombre expression, pondering, "But now, since they’ve failed over there, their target has surely shifted."
"Have you noticed, the Evil Sect’s assault on the Institute is weakening!" Ye Haochuan hinted.
Ye Xian, upon hearing this, speculated, "Do you mean... they’re concentrating forces to wipe out the Ancient Martial Arts Sect first?"
"No way!" Ye Haochuan shook his head, "The Ancient Martial Arts Sect’s strength surpasses the Institute’s significantly. If they want to eliminate one force first, they’d target the Institute, not foolishly attack the Ancient Martial Arts Sect!"
"If they don’t intend to attack the Ancient Martial Arts Sect first, why is the assault on the Institute diminishing?"
"I think they’re preparing to retreat!" Ye Haochuan smiled.
