After exchanging blows for a while, Fang Qianyuan had gained a sufficient understanding of Rong Shaohua's fighting methods.
In this world, there was a kind of Spirit Tamer whose Spirit Creatures worked in perfect harmony, unleashing astonishing combat strength like soldiers arrayed in formation.
The defining feature of this path was balanced overall strength, without any need for a particularly powerful Spirit Creature!
Every Spirit Creature under his command had a reason to be there and a corresponding role to play.
Fang Qianyuan had already noticed that the Jade-Horned Rhino, Diamond Blossom Fairy, and Swordmaster Mantis were the three steadfast pillars among Rong Shaohua's Spirit Creatures. The Lightning Falcon, Silver-Armored Blade Mantis, Substitute Death Bug, Iron Chain Vine, and the Earth Spirit Root mentioned in the intelligence reports but not yet revealed were merely support and reserve Spirit Creatures.
To defeat Rong Shaohua, he would have to defeat those three pillars.
Logically, the Diamond Blossom Fairy played a crucial role and was relatively fragile, making it an excellent target. Yet Fang Qianyuan was almost certain that the moment he turned his spearhead toward it, he would fall straight into Rong Shaohua's trap.
Then, whether it was the Jade-Horned Rhino, the Iron Chain Vine, or Rong Shaohua himself, they would all do their utmost to protect it, while the Swordmaster Mantis and Silver-Armored Blade Mantis seized the chance to attack. Fang Qianyuan would end up at a disadvantage instead.
But if he ignored it, it would keep healing the others, constantly stimulating their regenerative abilities and restoring them without end.
Even Fang Qianyuan's abundant spirit essence was not truly inexhaustible. Against an opponent with equally plentiful reserves, he would eventually exhaust his strength and lose without another blow being struck.
