The Seventh Base

Ize, a freshman at Lucas University.

He was extremely handsome, possessing a remarkable demeanor, and he read books with great concentration. Xu Mo noticed that the book Ize was reading was about attack speed.

After finishing his reading, Ize's brows were furrowed. Then, noticing Xu Mo beside him who was also reading, and seeing his uniform, Ize knew Xu Mo was a librarian. Lately, there had been some rumors about him in the school, particularly about his strong memory.

"Is there a fast way to improve movement techniques and attack speed in combat skills?" Ize asked. In truth, he was not lacking in combat skills. At home, he could have anything he wanted, but he still wanted to try the library.

The recent defeat had left him in a bad mood.

"Cultivation is a gradual progress; it's hardly possible to achieve it swiftly. Moreover, quickly learned skills generally aren't very powerful," Xu Mo explained as he picked out two books from the shelf and handed them to him, saying, "These are about movement techniques and attack speed. However, both movement technique and attack speed are related to physical fitness and neural response speed, and aren't solely dependent on combat skills."

Ize looked at Xu Mo somewhat astonished. Xu Mo's statement sounded like that of an expert.

It seemed this librarian was quite knowledgeable.

"If during a battle, you have stronger attack power than your opponent, but inferior movement technique and attack speed, and your opponent avoids a direct confrontation, what strategy should you use?" Ize asked casually, perceiving that Xu Mo seemed well-versed in theory.

Perhaps he knew something about it.

"Your scenario assumes minor discrepancies between both parties; otherwise, there wouldn't be such a question," Xu Mo replied.

"Indeed," Ize acknowledged.

"If one's abilities counter the other, in a sense, the former is indeed doomed, but that is purely theoretical. In practical battlefields, various possibilities exist. Your desire to improve your movement technique and attack speed is an attempt to compensate for your weaknesses. It's fine to work on your shortcomings, but if you can improve, so can your opponent. Using your weaknesses against your opponent's strengths is not wise unless you can progress faster than them," Xu Mo advised.

"At that time, you should use your strengths to force the opponent into a confrontation, or focus on defense to look for an opportunity to counterattack lethally. If the opponent still reacts faster, trying to increase your reaction speed and attack speed in a short period is unlikely. Why not try a different approach?" Xu Mo suggested as he took another book and handed it to him. Ize glanced at it.

"Combat Model Analysis?" Ize showed a hint of surprise.

"Yes," Xu Mo nodded. "Everything in the world can be analyzed mathematically to create data models. This book quantifies combat models. If you can visualize these models in your mind during actual combat and then predict the opponent's most likely next move, you can compensate for the speed disadvantage."

When your reaction speed and attack speed are inferior to your opponent's, you need to anticipate.

Ize looked at Xu Mo, considering that theoretically, this method was feasible and somewhat innovative. Evidently, extensive reading in the library had indeed made him profoundly knowledgeable about theories.

"I'll try it," Ize said. "Do you fight?"

"A little bit," Xu Mo replied.

"Thanks." Ize took the book, turned around, and left to borrow it for further study to see if it would be effective.

Several days later, the student who had previously sought Xu Mo's advice about pursuing a girl visited the library.

Seeing Xu Mo, he walked up and extended his hand, saying, "Sorey."

"Brother Xu Mo, you're amazing!" There was a gleam in Sorey's eyes. After a period of effort, Xu Mo's method had actually worked. He had dated the girl's best friend, who became quite proactive, and now he had won her over.

However, Sorey then felt that aside from being beautiful, the girl from Isaien had nothing else to offer.

"How did it go?" Xu Mo asked.

"I've already proposed breaking up with her. She's not worthy of him!" Sorey declared.

"I…" Xu Mo stared at Sorey, dumbfounded. He had thought Sorey was a decent man who had encountered an opportunist, but it turned out they were suited for each other!

"Brother Xu Mo, teach me again next time," Sorey requested.

"..." Xu Mo said in astonishment, "I can't."

"Don't worry, brother; I won't let you down," Sorey reassured, patting Xu Mo's shoulder with a knowing look.

Xu Mo felt that he had misjudged people.

None of them were any good.

"It's you."

Just then, a sharp voice rang out, and Xu Mo turned to see a slender, sexy woman walking towards him, with "1.2 meters" long legs and very white skin.

Xu Mo understood why Sorey had sent both jewelry and a flying car.

A real beauty.

Isaien people were famous for their beauty, and it seemed the reputation was well-deserved.

The woman walked up to Xu Mo, her gaze icy, and said, "Did you do it?"

"Classmate, the library prohibits loud noises," Xu Mo said, feeling guilty.

"You bastard..." the woman stepped forward, only to see someone standing in front of him—it was Zero.

Zero released his aura, his eyes turning white as he stared at the woman and said, "He's mine..."

He paused, then added, "Servant."

The woman stared at Zero, then glanced at Xu Mo and Sorey. Sorey, showing no loyalty, hid behind Xu Mo.

"I won't let you off," the woman said sharply, turning around and leaving.

Sorey stepped out from behind Xu Mo, and Xu Mo stepped out from behind Zero.

The two looked at each other, and Sorey said with a smile, "Brother Xu Mo truly is a kindred spirit."

"..." Xu Mo looked at Sorey, "I'm not familiar with you."

"We people from Odin Mountain Star love making friends," Sorey said, extending his hand.

"Odin Mountain Star." Xu Mo hesitated for a moment.

Odin Mountain Star, one of the wealthiest resource stars in the Star System Alliance.

Tears in his eyes, Xu Mo took Sorey's hand and said, "Same here!"

Zero looked at the two with a bizarre expression.

Are their brains broken?

Xu Mo, that scoundrel, Master Qiong was right not to trust him so easily!!

The incident in the library sparked quite the discussion. Sorey, that guy, hit it off with an Isaien beauty and then dumped her? Utterly shameless.

Reportedly, it was Xu Mo, the library manager, who taught him how.

What a disaster in psychology!

Many girls secretly resolved to keep their distance from Xu Mo, thinking all those who study psychology are shady!

Meanwhile, at Lucas University Extraordinary Department, an event caught the attention of many, including women from other departments.

Two prominent figures from the Extraordinary Department were set to have another combat match.

These two were hugely popular among this year's freshmen at Lucas University.

Ize, the young master of the interstellar bank, whose father was also the Duke of Lucas Star, the ultimate rich and handsome man of Lucas Star!
