Superbase Evolution

Chapter 349: Combat Economics

"Lin Shen is a rare talent. His ability to punch through waves in the air is also an extremely rare skill. His ability to fight head-on is top-notch among all the flying upgrades. It's not unfair that Chiba lost. Even if he didn't fall into the trap, he would probably lose more than he wins."

Chi118's words were very pertinent. He paused and continued, "It's a pity that he met Ximen Jianke, who had mastered the art of leveraging force to the extreme. He just happened to restrain his strange punching power. If he didn't have other basic transformation talents to win by surprise, he would have lost this battle without a doubt."

Most people also agreed with Chi 118's statement. Unless Lin Shen had some special genetic talent skills, they believed that he would have no chance of winning if it was just a matter of skill.

Lin Shen was also very clear in his mind that it would be difficult for him to defeat Ximen Jianke in terms of technical skills. If Wei Wufu were here, he might be able to find a way to break Ximen Jianke's technique of leveraging force.

It’s a pity that Lin Shen is not Wei Wufu, he does not have such comprehensive techniques.

"I must let Ayun master various martial arts as soon as possible, and then use the protection of the Valkyrie to teach them to me. Otherwise, my skills are too simple and I won't be able to cope with various situations." Lin Shen thought again.

It's too late to rely on Ayun now. Ximen Swordsman's skills are also simple. Why can he win with his single skill, but I can't?
"There is no absolute saying about the law of generation and control in the world. Water can control fire, but fire may also control water. Even if there is a disadvantage, as long as the method is right, it is possible to reverse the two poles." Lin Shen retreated while thinking about how to break Ximen Swordsman's technique.

"Since I can't achieve absolute suppression, nor absolute restraint, I might as well let go. Doesn't he like to borrow force? Then I'll let him do it." Lin Shen, who was constantly forced back by Ximen Swordsman, suddenly abandoned the Demon Heart Finger and used the Wave-Treading Fist again.

Lin Shen’s punch was so powerful that he violently blasted towards Ximen Jianke.

But this time, Ximen Jianke was unable to take advantage of the force to cut in, and his body was shaken away in the air by the force of Lin Shen's punch.

“Great!” Lin Shen only threw one punch, but Chi 118 saw the clue and praised: “Since it is impossible to absolutely restrain the force, why not stop restraining the force and let it spread out to form a large-scale force tide.”

An 117 was also somewhat interested, and nodded, saying, "By dispersing the fist force and transforming it into a surface, it increases the difficulty of borrowing force, and also makes Ximen Jianke only able to borrow a part of the force. It seems to reduce the destructiveness of the fist force, but the threat to Ximen Jianke becomes even greater. At least it makes it difficult for him to borrow force to fight back. It is also an ingenious solution."

"However, this solution can only make up for the disadvantage and make it difficult for Ximen Swordsman to launch a counterattack against him, but the problem of power consumption itself is still not solved. Such a large-scale tide of fist power will increase Lin Shen's own power consumption. Once the power is consumed too much and physical strength has problems, he will eventually be defeated." Chi 118 said.

Tian Xin's heart was beating fast as she listened nearby. Sometimes she said that Lin Shen solved the problem well, and sometimes she said that Lin Shen could only lose. Wasn't he kidding her?
"Aunt, can Lin Shen really do it?" Tian Xin asked Tian Xun who was standing beside her. The current situation was indeed difficult to see clearly.

"He won't lose." Tian Xun didn't seem worried at all, and seemed very sure that Lin Shen would win.

Others have not seen Lin Shen's methods, but Tian Xun has.

Lin Shen had violently killed Cosimo, who was like a god descending from heaven. The power of that punch was definitely enough to defeat Ximen Jianke's skill of using force to transform force.

Although Lin Shen had told her that the skill had too many limitations and was almost impossible to use, Tian Xun didn't really believe it. She just thought that Lin Shen wanted to keep a low profile and not attract too much attention.

"Tianxun, since you are so confident in him, how about we add a little more spice?" An 117 suddenly said to Tianxun.

"What do you want to offer?" Tian Xun said calmly. "If Lin Shen loses, you give me the thing you got from the Giant God Cemetery, and if Ximen Jianke loses, I give you the thing I got from the Giant God Cemetery. Anyway, it's useless for us to each take a part, what do you think?" An 117 expressed his thoughts.

"Okay." Tianxun's expression didn't change at all and he agreed readily.

This made An 117 somewhat suspicious, but looking at the current situation on the field, it seemed that Ximen Jianke had no chance of winning.

Lin Shen has already delivered so many powerful punches in a row. Even if he has the skills to recover his strength, he can't keep going. Ximen Jianke only needs to exert very little strength and physical strength to force Lin Shen to continuously use the extremely energy-consuming tidal punches. No matter how you think about it, Ximen Jianke will be the winner in the end.

An 117 even believed that it wouldn't take long before Lin Shen's tidal fist power would be greatly weakened, and by then Ximen Swordsman would be in control of the situation.

"Want to bluff me? Tianxun, you underestimate me." An 117 snorted in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "Okay, then we have a deal."

"It's a deal." Tian Xun said lightly.

Tian Xin was very anxious. He couldn't figure out how Lin Shen could win.

Unless Lin Shen uses the same terrifying power he used when fighting him, who can guarantee that Ximen Swordsman has no hidden means?

The battle was still going on, Lin Shen continued to punch with tidal force. Although this force was not as destructive as three consecutive punches, it could reduce the force borrowed by Ximen Jianke, making Ximen Jianke's attacks not a big threat to him.

Seeing Lin Shen punching with tidal force, Ximen Jianke felt a little suspicious.

If Lin Shen continued to fight like this, even with the skill to recover his strength, he would not be able to hold out for too long.

He only needs to use 2 or 3 percent of his strength, while Lin Shen will have to use 100 percent of his strength to counter it. It is obvious who will suffer.

The reason why Ximen Jianke practiced the technique of using the opponent's force to counter attack has a lot to do with his growing environment and way of thinking.

Because of his ordinary birth and lack of background, Ximen Jianke had very limited resources available to him from the beginning of his training. He had to calculate carefully and use every bit of resources wisely.

The same goes for his combat thinking; those who rely solely on strength to win are fools in his eyes.

He summarized his combat thinking into a subject called "Combat Economics". He would use one point of my consumption to exchange for one hundred points of the enemy's consumption. Even if the enemy's strength was ten or even dozens of times greater than mine, after one war of attrition after another, the enemy would be defeated no matter how strong his strength was.

Ximen Jianke calculated very well, but unfortunately he seemed to have forgotten one thing. Lin Shen once had a nickname - Perpetual Motion Machine A Tian.
