Again within the sect, Roan had gone to speak with Hulian, asking for a place to command a couple of teams. Normally, Hulian would not even trouble to listen to such a request. Nonetheless, because it was the twins, he nonetheless determined to provide them an opportunity. It is simply that he wanted to check Roan first.

There was a struggle recreation much like chess, however a number of instances extra intricated, referred to as Sisca. It had near twenty instances extra items on all sides in comparison with a chess recreation, with a board clearly a number of instances larger. Nonetheless, the scale of the board wasn’t an issue for the cultivators. In any case, they may merely unfold their Non secular Power to maneuver the items and make their actions. The primary goal was to take over the enemy’s citadel on the opposite aspect of the board.

It was typically used to check an individual’s intelligence. Clearly, it was additionally good to see their capability to command as effectively.

“I’ve by no means performed this factor.”

Hulian wasn’t shocked by that.

“That is not an issue. I am not anticipating you to abruptly develop into knowledgeable in Sisca. I simply wish to see the way you carry out in your first strive. That may additionally replicate how you’d react in a random atmosphere like a struggle zone. In a sure means, not figuring out the sport is the proper situation to see your talents to command.”

Roan nodded, not minding it an excessive amount of. Hulian then handed him a booklet with all the guidelines of the sport. Roan shortly browsed it a couple of instances whereas shaking or nodding his head once in a while. Round twenty minutes later, he closed the e-book and handed it again to Hulian.

“Finished.”

“Finished?”

Hulian checked out Roan with a shocked expression.

“There are a number of guidelines and variations described there. Should not you are taking just a little longer to get used to it?”

Roan shook his head.

“No want. Let’s begin.”

Hulian shook his head in disappointment. He already felt like Roan was dashing issues an excessive amount of. That was not a very good high quality for a commander.

Rean, who was additionally current, shortly grabbed the booklet from Hulian.

“Alright, let me have a look at it as effectively. It appears enjoyable.”

Hulian did not thoughts as he introduced Roan to the board in one other room.

“Okay. The black items are yours. The white ones are mine. You possibly can put them in any sequence you want in your aspect aside from the middle area.”

Roan nodded.

“I already memorized all the principles. Let’s begin.”

The best way to place every particular person’s items labored in turns. All sides may solely put one piece down every flip. That may stop them from figuring out the ultimate type of the enemy’s formation forward of time, making the sport fairer.

Nonetheless, Hulian observed that Roan did not appear to be following any specific technique. He positioned his items on the board in a really commonplace formation. It was as if he wasn’t even fascinated about it. Nonetheless, Hulian did not complain. He merely did not anticipate that a lot from Roan anymore. He would shortly end it to point out Roan that the artwork of commanding wasn’t that straightforward.

In the meantime, Rean saved studying the booklet on the aspect, making an attempt to memorize its guidelines.

“Alright, let’s begin. You possibly can transfer the primary piece.”

Roan did not thoughts and instantly made his first transfer. Hulian then adopted along with his personal. And identical to that, time started to move. When these two had been round 100 strikes into the sport, Rean lastly closed the booklet.

“I perceive the way it works now.”

He shortly took a have a look at the board and analyzed the positions.

“Hum… I feel I do know what they’re making an attempt to do.”

Hulian smiled, probably not believing that Rean knew what his intention was. To date, Roan’s strikes did not appear something spectacular. He additionally made a couple of strikes that made it simpler for Hulian to maneuver ahead and conquer territory.

Lastly, it reached some extent the place Roan appeared to not have any possibilities anymore.

“Alright. Let’s cease it right here and begin a brand new one.”

Roan checked out Hulian, puzzled.

“Why?”

Hulian pointed on the board earlier than saying.

“Is not that apparent? You possibly can’t presumably recuperate from this.”

Rean, who was on the aspect, shook his head.

“What are you saying, Senior Hulian? Cannot you see that Roan already received this battle?”

Hulian’s smile froze as he checked out Rean.

“He received this battle? What are you speaking about? I am completely dominating his aspect.”

Roan additionally checked out Rean with a shocked expression.

“You possibly can see what I am doing?”

Rean nodded.

“Just about. Elder Hulian’s 5 important forces had been lured right into a lure the place they can not escape anymore. Within the subsequent few strikes, his proper aspect will crumble whereas the left aspect will solely be capable of desperately maintain its place. Nonetheless, will probably be too late since you’ll take the enemy’s citadel whereas impeding Elder Hulian’s left aspect from ever becoming a member of the battle till every little thing is over.”

Roan could not assist however be shocked.

‘Since when had been you good at commanding methods? Or maybe you are solely good at video games?’

Rean contemplated a bit earlier than replying.

‘Hum… Now that I give it some thought, I do not know. It simply comes into me naturally. More than likely, that is the affect of our Soul Connection.’

[Rean is right.]

Sister Orb mentioned whereas they had been speaking via their Soul Connection.

[It’s just like how Roan can lock Light Element in his body almost as well as Rean. It is the influence of Roan’s proficiency that allows him to do so. Of course, be it Roan’s commanding ability or Rean’s Light Element control ability, both your talents also play a huge part in this. Well, this is a good thing for both of you anyway, so just enjoy each other’s help.]

Rean’s eyes lit up and shortly requested.

‘Sister Orb, is there a technique to improve this capability?’

[Sure!]

Each Rean and Roan’s pursuits had been piqued.

‘How?’

[Increase of brotherly affection. What about starting with a hug?]

The twins virtually fainted!

‘Ahem… There ought to be no must rush issues. Step-by-step studying can be important to consolidate our information.’

Roan agreed immediately.

‘Precisely! Apart from, if we pressure it, we’d develop some mind points sooner or later. Let’s keep like this, lets?’

Rean nodded vigorously.

As they mentioned these phrases, in addition they thought.

‘Brotherly affection, your ass!’

‘I’d quite die!’

‘Fuck you!’

‘You’re fortunate that you’re a lot stronger. In any other case, I’d have damaged your orb in half already!’

Sister Orb felt just a little upset.

[Oh! Okay, then…]

All that dialog solely took two or three seconds via their Soul Connection, so Hulian did not discover something.

As an alternative, he was extra fearful about what Rean simply mentioned. Due to that, he started to investigate the battlefield, particularly the best aspect.

“This… How did you do this with out me noticing?”

Roan checked out Hulian and answered as if it was one thing easy.

“Your overconfidence was the principle level. I simply pretended to be weak and lured you inside. You by no means bothered to take me critically even as soon as, so it was extraordinarily simple.”

Hulian’s ears grew to become pink when he heard that. Positive sufficient, Roan by no means bothered to measure his phrases in any respect.

“Ahem… Let’s proceed this battle. I wish to see how the top will develop.”

Roan did not thoughts as they continued to battle. Positive sufficient, Hulian’s aspect crumbled quick as his left aspect bought trapped by Roan’s items. Ultimately, Hulian’s citadel fell with out a lot of a resistance. The bizarre factor was how Hulian had much more items remaining than Roan, so his loss was fairly an unpleasant one.

Nonetheless, Hulian was actually shocked by that. That was Roan’s first time taking part in this recreation, and Hulian had even misplaced in such a horrible means.

“Errr… Once more! I admit I wasn’t anticipating something from you in any respect. This time, I cannot commit the identical mistake. Will probably be an actual check of your commanding talents.”

Roan nodded. He additionally did not like this final battle since his opponent was holding again. The 2 shortly reorganized the items on the desk and commenced to place them one after the other of their positions every flip. The beginning of the sport shortly adopted proper after. Nonetheless…

“How did I lose even sooner now…?”

Rean, who noticed your entire recreation, instantly replied.

“You used a pincer assault between the best and left aspect of your area. Nonetheless, Roan positioned his piece in a means that he would not lose a lot of them throughout that assault. The issue was that if you completed your assault, your items had been left susceptible to a counter pincer assault. He merely defeated you with the identical technique you tried to defeat him.”

Roan nodded.

“He is appropriate. You made fairly a superb transfer this time. Maybe you needed to wipe out the disgrace of getting misplaced so miserably final time. Too dangerous that you simply ignored the traps on each side. After all, I made certain to cover it effectively so that you simply would not discover earlier than it was too late.”

Hulian gritted his enamel earlier than saying.

“Once more!”

Roan faintly smiled as he nodded.

Hulian acted much more rigorously, fascinated about each motion this time. Consequently, this was the longest recreation they’d up to now. Sadly for him, the outcome was nonetheless the identical. It did not matter what number of instances Hulian tried. Roan at all times discovered the quickest means of delivering a deadly blow to his forces. Roan’s playstyle was identical to his fight one. The kind who seemed for the quickest technique to kill the opponent.

Hulian lastly admitted that he wasn’t Roan’s match. To not point out that Roan bought higher at it with every recreation.

“Wait right here for a minute. Let me invite another person.”

Hulian favored the sport, however he knew that he wasn’t any prodigy on it. He determined to name another person as an alternative.

As quickly as Hulian left, Rean went to the opposite aspect of the board.

“One week of mom’s dessert!”

Roan’s gaze turned chilly as he replied.

“Deliver it on!”
