Shadow Nine, enveloped by the blue sky, transformed into a black shadow and constantly moved about.
Not long after, the two returned to Blue Star and arrived at the foot of the Eternal Tower.
A white cloud supported Old Man Lan, hovering outside the ninety-ninth floor.
A carefree voice echoed from inside the tower.
"Teacher, Mr. Lan."
"Tell me, what happened?"
Shadow Nine, hidden in the black mist, clearly realized that something was amiss.
His own situation is somewhat special; he is very sensitive to talent.
After listening to Ye Bai's introduction, everyone present realized that Lan Tianqi's talent was a bit strange, but they tacitly kept quiet about it.
Ordinary talent wouldn't have so many effects.
Unlocking nine effects in succession looks more like the nine awakenings of an SSS-level talent.
However, the effect was too weak.
It barely even makes the SS rank, let alone the SSS rank.
With talent comparable to Xu Qingfeng's, what more could you ask for?
Faced with Ying Jiu's question, Xiao Yao remained silent for a moment, seemingly organizing his thoughts.
He spoke again, “I once mentioned to my teacher that a hundred years ago, I made a deal with a certain being.”
Lan Tianqi remained silent, content to be a bystander.
This is a matter between the master and his apprentice, and no one else can interfere.
Ying Jiu nodded, indicating that she remembered this matter.
“I helped Him three times, and He helped me three times.”
Xiaoyao yawned, feeling a little tired.
"Today, I used up my second chance."
Ying Jiu said coldly, "If I remember correctly, you've done two things for Him?"
"right."
"If I take the time to kill Him, I won't have to do the last thing?"
Lan Tianqi: ......
I don't know how to do it for an 800-year-old man.
Are bug-hunting methods this hardcore these days?
If you can't get it working by the mechanism, why not just use a physical card?
Xiaoyao shook his head. "He will help me one more time."
"what ever."
The conversation between the master and disciple ended there, and Xiaoyao looked at Lan Tianqi.
"Mr. Lan, you've worked hard."
"Please feel free to speak."
Clearly, Lan Tianqi's three awakenings also come at a price.
"From this day forward, you may not leave the Tower of Eternity."
Xiaoyao said slowly,
"During the day, you can stay in the floors you have cleared, the Eternal Core City, and your exclusive space."
You can attempt the level between 12:00 AM and 6:10 AM, but the reward for completing the level will be halved.
"Leave the Eternal Tower before level 990 unless you are traveling with the strongest being..."
Even if Xiaoyao didn't say it, everyone present understood what was to come.
Exploiting bugs always comes at a price.
"I thought they wouldn't let me into the tower."
After hearing Xiaoyao's words, Lan Tianqi felt relieved.
"It's no big deal."
It's just another eternally isolated otaku.
Moreover, Lan Tianqi is known for researching the Eternal Tower and creating strategy guides.
This kind of life is not boring at all for him.
Try to pass the levels when you can, and improve your strength as much as possible.
If you can't pass a level, study other levels and complete the walkthrough.
"good."
After Xiaoyao finished speaking, he separated half of a white cloud and sent the blue sky back to the eighth floor of the Eternal Tower.
However, Ying Jiu did not leave immediately.
"The Asura will come to you and ask about the Supreme Mark."
Xiaoyao nodded, "I understand, I will tell you the truth."
Shadow Nine: ......
"Can't you just lie?"
This time, it was Xiaoyao's turn to remain silent.
Although no one spoke, Ying Jiu felt as if she heard two words in her ear.
"Boring."
"Do whatever you want."
Ying Jiu abandoned that topic and changed the subject,
"Release the news of the Asura class change tonight; that kid will have to stay in the Abyss for another half day."
"good."
Above the white clouds, silence fell once more.
...
There are two sides to the story.
After Ying Jiu left with Elder Lan, Ye Bai felt like he had been tricked.
His feeling was soon confirmed.
A voice without a trace came.
"Immortal, tell Shura about your experience in saving the world from collapse."
Lan Zhexian nodded and said, "Don't use what you've learned."
Ye Bai:...
Since we're not allowed to use it, can I just not learn it?
"Don't worry, I haven't drawn my sword yet."
Hearing his second brother's words of comfort, Ye Bai breathed a sigh of relief.
Then,
Before his eyes, his health bar began to plummet!
In almost an instant, Ye Bai's million health points dropped to just 1 point!
What's meant to happen will happen eventually.
Ye Bai felt no pain or sensation of being struck; it was as if he had undergone a painless, minimally invasive surgery, though his face was somewhat pale.
"Learned the skill [Salvation]!"
"【Saving the Sky】: After being attacked with fatal damage, the user's health is locked at 1, and the user slashes forward, dealing 1 point of damage.
Life lock lasts for 5 seconds, during which time you cannot receive shields or healing.
After the life lock is released, physical/magical defense is reduced to zero for 10 minutes.
Consumption: None
Cooling: 24 hours
Ye Bai: ? ? ?
Where's the promised high damage?
Why is there only 1 point!
Fortunately, Ye Bai didn't rely on the Heaven-Swallowing Technique to deal damage.
Ye Bai had already figured out how to output damage long ago.
However, besides its low damage, the ability to reverse the sky has many negative effects.
Unable to recover health or gain shields within 5 seconds; both resistances are reset to zero after 5 seconds.
"Looking cool for 5 seconds, then being a coward for 10 minutes?"
Looking at Wan Tianqing's introduction, Ye Bai fell into deep thought.
