Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

Chapter 36: Indeed, I still can't keep them!

It is better to teach someone to fish than to give them a fish.

What Liu Zimo is currently doing is teaching these soldiers to learn the experience and skills of hunting and subduing illusionary demons.

Coincidentally, there are sixteen illusionary rat demons here, which have the lowest attack and hallucination power. They are the most suitable teaching materials.

In addition, with a martial artist like him in the Golden Body Realm guarding the four directions, he can awaken them in critical moments and ensure their safety.

Such learning conditions and treatment were never enjoyed by Liu Zimo and his comrades in the past.

Back then, they basically explored and summarized the experience and lessons of dealing with these illusionary rat demons bit by bit, at the cost of many lives and tragedies. Only those who experienced it firsthand like them would understand it better.

"The so-called illusion technique is nothing more than a mental hypnosis and charm."

"Normally, as long as a person's mental will is extremely firm, even without the assistance of the Clear Mind Mantra, they can directly resist the illusionary demon's illusion attacks!"

"Even if you are really affected by the illusion, don't be too nervous, and don't be deceived by the illusions in the illusionary realm. You need to learn how to distinguish between truth and falsehood in the illusionary realm..."

"As long as you suspect that you may be in the illusionary realm, but you can't use the Clear Mind Mantra, you can bite your tongue, break your fingers, or lightly stab your thigh muscle with a dagger. Whatever method you use, as long as it can help you concentrate and wake up, you can break free from the illusion!"

"... "

While the soldiers were sharpening their knives and searching for the sixteen illusionary rat demons lurking in the camp, Liu Zimo was not idle in the sky. He carefully explained some non-professional techniques other than the Clear Mind Mantra.

These were the most practical methods they had discovered and summarized at the cost of countless lives.

Although they were not as professional as the spiritual secrets of Taoism or Buddhism, such as the Clear Mind Mantra and the Awakening Technique, as long as they were effective, they could really save lives in critical moments.

After all, not everyone has the talent in this area to learn and use the Clear Mind Mantra or the Awakening Technique in time when facing illusionary attacks.

Therefore, for most soldiers, these simplest methods are sometimes the truly practical life-saving remedies.

"You few martial artists in the Copper Skin Realm don't need to participate!"

After explaining to the ordinary soldiers, Liu Zimo turned his gaze to the dozen or so martial artists in the Copper Skin Realm with green or even blue lock shadows on their heads and transmitted his voice:

"You have already reached the level of Copper Skin, with strong vitality and a resolute martial will. These low-level illusionary demons cannot confuse you at all."

"You just need to follow behind the warriors and protect them."

Below, more than ten people including Ding Chuanwu, Zhao Gang, and Zhou Chong were all shaken when they heard Liu Zimo's transmission.

Only then did they understand why they were not affected by illusions just now and were able to keep a clear mind.

It turns out that after breaking through to the Copper Skin realm in martial arts cultivation, they actually have the ability to be immune to low-level illusions!

"Listen, you have all personally experienced the terrifying aspects of illusionary demons. I believe you wouldn't want the same experiences and tragedies to happen to your comrades in other camps, right?"

"Therefore, I hope that the warriors can quickly accumulate enough experience in fighting against illusionary demons, and then share and pass on this experience to the neighboring brother camps as soon as possible."

Liu Zimo's voice sounded again in the ears of the dozen or so people:

"Only by passing on this knowledge from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred, will all the warriors in the entire Shangjing City be able to resist this kind of illusionary demon."

"Believe me, in the upcoming Shangjing City, even in the entire Daxia, and even the whole world, there will be more and more illusionary demons of this level!"

Saying that, Liu Zimo explained in detail some of the habits and characteristics of the illusionary rat to these Copper Skin realm warriors, allowing them to be prepared in advance.

Ding Chuanwu and the others were all shocked when they heard this, and their understanding of illusionary demons became even deeper.

Especially Ding Chuanwu, Zhao Gang, and Zhou Chong, after guessing that Liu Zimo was the person who posted the "Survival Guide in the Apocalypse," they had even more faith in Liu Zimo's predictions.

Just the thought of encountering more of these elusive illusionary demons in the future made their hair stand on end involuntarily.

No! They would never allow scenes of self-inflicted harm and tragedy to happen to them and their comrades in the brother camps again!

In any case, they had to take the initiative and urge the warriors to master the methods and techniques to resist illusionary attacks and quickly spread and promote them!

And so, more than ten Copper Skin realm overseers were born. They moved around the various corners of the camp like they were injected with chicken blood, dutifully repeating the teaching content over and over again on behalf of Liu Zimo.

Seeing this, Liu Zimo couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.

These copper-skinned martial artists are mostly officers at the battalion and company level within the camp. Their understanding of their own soldiers far surpasses that of an outsider like him.

Now they are personally supervising the training and study of the soldiers, and their efficiency is much better than his vague teachings in mid-air.

Of course, the illusionary rats on the ground are not fools. Sensing that something is wrong, they immediately make a hidden retreat.

However, under Liu Zimo's remote monitoring, they have no chance or possibility of escaping the camp.

Once it is discovered that an illusionary rat is approaching the edge of the camp wall, Liu Zimo will casually throw out a Phantom Shadow Finger, either breaking its leg or arm, making sure they cannot leave the camp as they wish.

In the end, these illusionary rats are forced into a corner and can only turn around and fight back in anger. They vigorously display their innate illusion techniques, constantly creating illusions to confuse the soldiers approaching their camp.

In this way, more and more soldiers fall back into the illusion and begin to lose themselves.

However, the difference is that this time, no soldier will raise their gun and shoot at the first moment of being hallucinated.

Most soldiers remain motionless, standing in place, sometimes confused, sometimes struggling, sometimes laughing, sometimes crying.

Soon, someone silently recites the "Clear Mind Mantra" in the illusion, and their spiritual consciousness quickly regains clarity.

Someone bites their tongue hard, causing their mouth to fill with blood. Finally, under the pain, they successfully break free from the illusion.

There are also those who, upon realizing that they are trapped in an illusion, immediately draw the dagger from their body and fiercely stab their own thigh!

...

In this way, more and more soldiers find the most suitable method for themselves, regain self-awareness from the illusion, and successfully break free from the control of the illusionary rats.

But this is not the end.

In order to deepen the combat memory of these soldiers, Liu Zimo forces the illusionary rats to repeatedly display their illusion techniques over and over again, pulling the soldiers into the illusion time and time again.

It is cruel and brutal, but it is quite effective!

After experiencing at least ten illusion attacks in succession, more than half of the soldiers have developed a certain degree of immunity to this level of illusion.

Many times, even without using the "Clear Mind Mantra" or the earthy methods taught by Liu Zimo, they can quickly break free from the illusion.

At this point, Liu Zimo nods in satisfaction and gradually eases the pressure on the illusionary rats. He begins to guide the soldiers to discover the traces of the illusionary rats and quickly hunt them down!

Soon, the first illusionary rat is successfully captured and killed by the soldiers in the eastern area.

Then the second, the third, all the way to the sixteenth!

After their innate illusion techniques fail, the illusionary rats are nothing more than slightly larger rats. It is not difficult to hunt and kill them.

When the last illusionary rat is killed, Liu Zimo's aura recedes, and the dazzling golden light fades away.

Taking advantage of the moment when the soldiers' vision darkens and their pupils contract, he quickly returns to the General Staff Office.

First, he glanced at Wu Songyang and the small guard Wang who were still unconscious in the bathroom, making sure they were safe. Then Liu Zimo came to the desk and packed the documents, badges, and "Body Tempering Pills" on the desk into his arms.

Afterwards, seeing the pen and paper on the desk, he casually left a note:

"Staff Officer Wu, all nearby illusionary creatures have been dealt with, and the camp is temporarily safe. I'll take the things on the desk with me, thank you very much!"

"On the road of the martial world, we may meet again! Take care!"

"Also, please tell Senior Hong for me, thank him for bringing me to the Military Headquarters, and ask him to pay attention to the safety of several disciples later."

"Leaving, don't miss me."

"Liu Zimo stays."

...

A few minutes later.

Wu Songyang woke up from his unconsciousness, covering the back of his neck. Recalling his action of shooting at Liu Zimo before fainting, his expression changed.

"Advisor Liu!"

Calling out loudly, Wu Songyang hurriedly got up and rushed out of the bathroom.

When he saw that the documents and "Body Tempering Pills" on the desk had disappeared, as well as the note left by Liu Zimo, a touch of loss appeared on Wu Songyang's face.

"Indeed, I can't keep him after all!"
