Chapter 1555: 397: Bizarre Tactics, Creating Miracles_4

Professional Scraper for Thirty Years: Fortune favors the bold, sure, but I still think this tactic can be optimized further. The Battle Array Attributes can support more different factions; the stolen buff effects don’t necessarily match what an assassin Battle Formation needs. Also, how do we make sure these "stone‑throwing scouts" Stone Statue Players actually survive long enough to enter the battlefield? Purely pumping Petrification might have that Rule damage‑exemption trait, but it still might not hold; we could end up dead before we even get thrown into the field. We need to add a few more layers of insurance before entry...The group chat exploded with discussion—worries, doubts—but there were also guild leaders itching to try this plan.

Clearly, Ding Qi’s concept had perfectly poked the nerves of these top players who crave pushing the limits and chasing difficulty.

They formed a United Battle Group in the first place to challenge the village‑entrance Evil Boss.

And now, an even stronger challenge was right in front of them.

Whether it was feasible or not, they all felt it would be a waste not to try.

The only problem now was that the testing cost was too high.

This meant the Six Great Guilds in the United Battle Group, including all Star Vein setups, had to rebuild themselves around this surprise‑attack tactic.

If it worked, great. If it failed, the loss would be massive.

...

Three days later.

After intense internal debate and mobilization, the core members of the Six Great Guilds finally reached an agreement: they were going to gamble.

The village‑entrance Evil Boss might be the current objective, but pioneering a brand‑new tactic in the Reversing Tide Battlefield was far more enticing.

Even though the price was steep, the chance to seize version initiative was worth staking everything.

Right now, to the west of the Reversing Tide Battlefield Teleportation Array, in a relatively stable yet still constantly battered wasteland where terrifying Energy ripples rolled in from afar.

The Six Great Guilds—nearly forty thousand elite players with an all‑member Combined Soul Level of 105+—had already formed three formations according to Ding Qi’s tactical plan.

Before starting the test, Ding Qi posted a thread on the forum.

He laid out the tactical idea and potential gains in detail, and attached a livestream link.

He knew very well that this challenge required huge investment and its outcome was unpredictable.

If the test failed and the massive投入 went down the drain, he at least had to earn enough traffic.

Show off hard in front of the forum "locals" and make sure the name of the "Evil Bully Killer" United Guild was completely burned into everyone’s mind.

The attention itself was an invisible asset, able to attract more talent and resources for the guild’s future development.

At this moment, more and more onlookers were flooding into the livestream; the barrage was full of people debating the feasibility of the tactic, with some players also cheering them on.

Everything was ready.

On the outermost edge, Ding Qi raised his Right Hand, and the "Battle Array Mark" instantly shot into the sky.

The released Energy spread out from Ding Qi as the center, forming rapidly expanding Battle Array Spirit Patterns.

In an instant, a gigantic Array unfurled across the ground.

The guild members, who had practiced this countless times, moved immediately; their steps were precise and swift, converging like rivers to the sea as they stepped into their corresponding glowing nodes on the ground.

Buzz!

The earth shuddered slightly, Energy roaring.

The massive Battle Array spun; all Spirit Pattern nodes flared at once, and beams of light shot skyward.

Countless Energy Flows, pulled by the Battle Formation, crazily gathered toward Ding Qi at the center of the Spirit Patterns, then rapidly took shape around him.

All members inside the Battle Formation had their Strength stacked and sublimated, ultimately forming a towering Dharma Aspect shadow.

"Brothers, first we test the Stealing effect. Listen to my commands later—Stone Statue Stream, get in position."

Dozens of already‑prepared players stepped out at this moment.

They were maniacs who had dumped all their evolution points into the single "stone-statue ghost Life Soul". After approaching the Battle Array Dharma Form, their bodies turned completely pitch‑black, surrounded by a calm, heavy aura.

"Guild No. 2, buff them up!" Ding Qi ordered again.

The already‑waiting No. 2 guild members moved at once.

Layers of Light Shields, Energy deflection, and other defensive buffs stacked onto these Stone Statue Players.

They were wrapped up like one dazzling giant egg after another.

Next, the towering phantom Dharma Aspect moved.

Its Energy arm slowly lifted; in its palm, pitch‑black Ink Flame surged out of nowhere and burned fiercely.

The Dharma Aspect’s giant hand closed around one Stone Statue Player shrouded in Light Shields.

The instant they touched, the Ink Flame twined up like a living thing, starting to Corrode the Light Shields.

"Now—throw!"

All players inside the Dharma Form roared in unison; the massive body of the Dharma Aspect assumed a javelin‑thrower’s backward‑leaning stance.

The Battle Formation’s Energy frantically poured into its arm at that moment.

The next second, the giant arm whipped forward with unstoppable Momentum.

Whoosh!

The Stone Statue Player instantly gained terrifying initial Speed, like a projectile launched out of a railgun, Tearing through the air with a sharp explosive screech.

From the livestream’s perspective, it looked like a brilliant Meteor dragging a pitch‑black tail flame.

At a speed almost impossible to track with the naked eye, it shot toward the edge of the Reversing Tide Battlefield, where Energy was violently erupting.

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared at the end of their vision.

The next second, members of the United Battle Group and the onlookers in the livestream all clicked the pinned link to jump to the POV of the thrown player.

The livestream feed shook and tumbled wildly; the Speed was so great that the surroundings blurred into smears of color.

Only the Energy‑rampaging, sky‑roaring battlefield ahead expanded rapidly in view.

Just then, the feed jolted hard. With a dull impact, the view stopped rolling and stabilized.

At the center of the screen, there was a small assault Battle Formation composed of tens of thousands of Reverse Tide Warriors, steadily advancing.
