However, the skill description was very simple and did not contain any detailed information.
[Army Prestige: Commanding Skill. Consumes elemental energy to display the majestic aura of your troops to intimidate the enemy.]
[Army Spirit: Commanding Skill. Passive skill. Your troops will not flee due to low morale. Consumes elemental energy to activate the Army Spirit skill. Your troops' morale will increase by 10 points, their sense of pain will decrease by 50%, and their health will decrease by 50%.]
Bai Xiaowen could not figure it out for a while.
The main reason was that Bai Xiaowen was not familiar with the combat style of evolved humans. Although Army Prestige and Army Spirit sounded cool, he did not know how effective they were.
Regardless, these two commanding skills would not be of any help to the current situation.
Bai Xiaowen originally wanted to see if the first level of the Great Void Scripture would be able to turn the situation around.
"That's not right … A normal control-type evolved human would not be able to obtain a manual for a second profession. He would only be able to seek help from the manual for the initial profession, The Art of War!"
"If that's the case, The Art of War must be able to turn the situation around!"
Bai Xiaowen dismissed the idea of looking at the Great Void Scripture. Instead, he focused on studying the first chapter of The Art of War.
There was no time limit for the training ground. Furthermore, there were summoned creatures like the Wrath Claw guarding the training ground. Therefore, Bai Xiaowen still had the ability to calm down and study the manual.
It was just like when he studied the Taiping's Essentials. Although the words were obscure and difficult to understand, after reading through them, a wave of knowledge and understanding would flow into his mind.
Bai Xiaowen unknowingly entered a state of cultivation. The elemental energy in his body began to circulate.
The elemental energy was like a crawling tortoise, circulating along Bai Xiaowen's meridians inch by inch.
After becoming an evolved human, Bai Xiaowen's meridians had already been connected. However, this was the first time the elemental energy threads were circulating in his meridians.
After an unknown period of time, Bai Xiaowen's elemental energy finally completed a full cycle.
"Phew …"
Bai Xiaowen opened his eyes.
"I am now a true evolved human."
Bai Xiaowen opened his palm, and a ball of light surged according to his will. Then, with a thought, it disappeared.
With regards to elemental energy, Bai Xiaowen was finally able to control it at will.
He raised his hand and punched out. A white light flashed on the surface of his fist.
Now that the elemental energy was attached to the fist, the accumulation time was greatly reduced.
Furthermore, essence energy was not only used for attacking, but could also be used for other purposes.
Bai Xiaowen stood up and tried to channel his elemental energy into his legs. He started to gallop around the Wrath Claw.
One round, two rounds, three rounds …
Wrath Claw tilted its head curiously. "Master, you don't have a tail. Don't chase it."
Bai Xiaowen stopped. "???"
The Wrath Claw demonstrated. It turned its head back, stuck its butt up, and chased after its tail in circles. It looked very happy.
"…"
Bai Xiaowen decided to ignore the Wrath Claw for the time being.
"My instantaneous running speed just now was faster than Shu Yi's at full strength." Bai Xiaowen was slightly shocked. His agility was only 33 points.
Now, Bai Xiaowen understood why the two wandering skeletons, despite their low agility, could pounce on him so quickly. Furthermore, their attacks were so fast that even Bai Xiaowen's shadow assassin could not avoid them.
All of these were the effects of the special energy.
Now, Bai Xiaowen had completed the first cycle of the "elemental energy" in his body. He also had a preliminary control over it.
Furthermore, the elemental energy that "Tai Gong's Art of War" bestowed upon him was definitely much more powerful than the "spiritual energy" of the wandering skeletons. After all, it was an occupation manual with a seven-point priority.
This could be seen from the damage that was added to the elemental energy.
Every point of elemental energy would add 30 points of damage, and it was the damage of evil.
This was something that the "spiritual energy" of the wandering skeletons could not compare to. From the battle just now, Bai Xiaowen had already calculated that the spiritual energy of the wandering skeletons would add about 10 points of damage per point. When used for defense, it would also absorb about 10 points of damage. It was similar to the internal energy of the Sword Song Dimension.
However, the first chapter of "Tai Gong's Art of War" bestowed upon Bai Xiaowen not only the control of elemental energy, but also a lot of knowledge about commanding.
For example, how to rely on the trend of the ley lines to form an array. If he mastered the array knowledge of "Oneness of Man and Nature", it would be much more powerful than Zhang He's "Array Change" Overlord Skill in the Three Kingdoms Dimension.
Other than that, there were also tricks on how to change formations in battle and how to break the enemy's various formations. It could be said to be extensive and profound. Even Bai Xiaowen's super brain could not digest it all at once. He could only study it slowly later.
The most important thing was the knowledge and method of forming a "personal guard":
Seed seal!
According to "Tai Gong's Art of War", the personal guard was the foundation of a commander. It was the most important thing. Without a group of loyal and powerful personal guards, the commander would not be able to gain a foothold on the battlefield, let alone give orders.
With a personal guard unit as the heart and elite direct subordinates as the skeleton, and then commanding thousands of troops, naturally, one would be able to command them like an extension of one's arm. There would be no hindrance in passing orders to the various troops.
Moreover, when the battle situation was chaotic, the personal guard unit would also be needed to stand up and act as the cornerstone to reorganize the battle formation.
"Seed seal is to transform one's elemental energy into an imprint and plant it on a soldier, turning him into a personal guard. In addition to increasing the strength of the personal guard, it can also achieve a telepathic connection between the personal guard and the commander, and they will never betray each other. The extent to which the personal guard's strength increases depends on the commander. "
"However, the prerequisite for the seed seal is that the target soldier is 100% loyal and obedient to the commander."
Bai Xiaowen reviewed the annotations of "Tai Gong's Art of War" regarding the seed seal.
"Tai Gong's Art of War" also gave a series of training methods to increase one's prestige and aura (charm), win over the hearts of the people, and make the soldiers obedient to him.
Bai Xiaowen pondered for a while.
"For me, I can plant an elemental energy imprint on a summoned creature. There will definitely be no problem with the summoned creature's loyalty and obedience to me. "
"Moreover, after the seed seal, the summoned creature should be able to evolve into a creature at the level of an evolver! After all, I am now considered half an evolver. "
After some consideration, Bai Xiaowen decided to experiment with a ghoul archer.
According to the knowledge in "Tai Gong's Art of War", he channeled his elemental energy and formed a simple symbol imprint on his palm. Then, he pressed it on the skull of the ghoul archer.
The elemental energy imprint merged with the skull of the ghoul archer. Immediately, the two clusters of soul flames in its eye sockets shone brightly!
The originally pale soul flames actually turned a blazing white.
Rustle, rustle, rustle. The bones of the ghoul archer's entire body fell to the ground.
At the same time, cracking sounds could be heard. The ghoul archer actually "grew" out of thin air. Its originally thin and withered body had become much sturdier.
The seed seal was a success!
