In theory, the combat strength of more than a dozen trained humans should definitely surpass theirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, being strong is one thing, but achieving a flawless victory over them requires some cooperation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And cooperation in battle requires good combat skills and mindset to be effectively executed. Even if you’ve practiced many times beforehand, in a real battlefield environment, many people are still prone to panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In panic, they adopted wrong strategies to face the enemy, and couldn’t maintain the formation well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why a dangerous moment emerged and Gauss had to step in to resolve it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He silently observed from the side, clearly seeing who performed well and who did not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment of review, he had no intention of holding back and pointed out everything one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Gauss’s calm critique, many people in the group lowered their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In team combat, one person’s mistake not only harms themselves but also endangers their companions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many originally carefree young villagers, who thought after two days of practice with Gauss they could easily slaughter small monsters, have toned down their attitudes after this encounter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for Gauss stepping in, some of them might have died here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s okay to make mistakes in many things, but not in dangerous battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss sees everyone’s thoughtful expressions and knows they are likely to better grasp the harshness and responsibility of combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clean the battlefield and collect the spoils.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The villagers quickly endured their discomfort and got moving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn stood beside Gauss, her cheeks still somewhat pale, but she didn’t turn away, her eyes avoiding looking at the distant scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, she took a deep breath and looked up at Gauss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher, do adventurers... face this kind of scene every day?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Often,\" Gauss nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, he’s now quite accustomed to the killing and dealing with monster corpses, not even feeling a ripple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because an adventurer’s primary job is dealing with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though there are other types of assignments, most of the tasks adventurers take are combat-related.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This world always has more than one aspect.

This is also part of learning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn nodded vigorously, then ran towards Aaliyah, who was directing villagers in collecting spoils.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss watched her back, full of anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like planting a seed, which may sprout in a few years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After dealing with the kobolds, Gauss led the villagers to a clearing filled with skeletons, to purge these undead creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the experience of killing kobolds, and ordinary skeletons being weaker than kobolds, the second action went very smoothly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing noteworthy is that Gauss found the power of his second profession [Sword Soul] more effective against ordinary skeletons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before even approaching them, the white soul flame in the depths of their eye sockets was instantly crushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weak soul power of ordinary skeletons appeared especially fragile against this special method aimed at the spiritual level, like a candle in the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss left some ordinary skeletons for the villagers as practice opponents and personally went into battle, killing some himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Total number of monsters killed: 5456\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Needless to say, ordinary skeletons are indeed the easiest type of monsters Gauss has encountered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt he hardly expended any effort, yet he killed nearly a hundred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like harvesting wheat, cutting down a large swath with a single strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And after taking on the [Sword Soul] profession, the slaying efficiency greatly increased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, when ordinary people want to kill skeletons, separating their skull from the torso isn’t enough. The skull must be crushed, exposing the soul within to sunlight and air without protection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it’s a professional, several additional methods can be used, such as using magic power, natural energies, or other foreign energies to disrupt them—the strength and stability of more powerful energies are also greater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or using holy purification energy, directly targeting the skeleton’s negative energy source for dispersal or purification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Gauss has one more method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s a pity...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn noticed his whisper, curious yet not pushing to the root of the matter.\u003C\u002Fp>",868,"2026-06-05T18:36:35.128Z",1,"novelbin.me","183ebd91eea61ac10356fc0d4c7ca400b9e9db376973ed5ea55967b6eebacc5b","i-am-not-a-goblin-slayer-chapter-336","i-am-not-a-goblin-slayer-chapter-335",640,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-am-not-a-goblin-slayer-cover.jpg"]
