Sitting in the multimedia classroom, Ye Bai played with his new phone and chatted with Zhao Ziyan.
Self-Declaring Young Man (Shadow Forty-Nine): It's only been a few days, and you've actually advanced to the Battle King rank! Not bad, not bad at all.
Ye Bai: ......
How come you still have time to worry about my problems? Shouldn't you be worrying about yourself?
Judging from the rate at which Zhao Ziyan's ranking is declining, Ye Bai feels that it won't be long before he encounters her at the Battle King level...
"Something's not right. Zhao Ziyan used to be a really good girl, how come her skill level has dropped so quickly?"
"Has she had an attack?"
Traditional Chinese medicine doctor Ye Bai went online and began diagnosing the patient's condition.
Karthus: Seventh Brother, is your injury a bit serious? Why don't you get an appointment with a specialist?
The young man who revealed his story: It's a long story...
Clearly, Zhao Ziyan was pleased with Ye Bai's address of "Seventh Brother".
She held onto position number forty-nine, temporarily stabilizing her position as the forty-ninth shadow.
She also took some time to pour out her troubles to Ye Bai.
The self-proclaimed young man: This all started with Shura creating the [Wind Without Distance]...
Ye Bai: ? ? ?
How did I end up getting caught up in this drama again?!
Only after Zhao Ziyan explained did Ye Bai understand the cause and effect.
The war gods within the shadows have basically all learned the Wind Without Distance.
Even if this amazing skill can't be used in a large abyss, it's still worthwhile to learn it as a trump card!
Zhao Ziyan was extremely proud and claimed to the public that she hadn't learned it!
She can't use skills she hasn't learned; she can't afford to lose face like that!
Then a very strange situation arose: everyone who challenged Zhao Ziyan discovered that she really didn't use [Wind Without Distance], which was equivalent to deducting her ultimate skill in a free-for-all.
If she doesn't use it, someone else will!
Given that Zhao Ziyan didn't have any trump cards to begin with, if she doesn't fall, who will?
After hearing this sad story, Ye Bai fell into deep thought.
Zhao Ziyan raised a very pointed question that Ye Bai had never considered.
In a sense, the Wind Without Distance is a groundbreaking divine skill that changed the status of wind magic and had a profound impact.
So... how will Ye Bai counter this move?
Because the skill book "Wind Without Distance" is publicly available, most of Ye Bai's enemies can also obtain it.
Even if the abyssal demons learn it someday, Ye Bai wouldn't be surprised.
How can this be cracked?
Ye Bai had no clue at the moment.
However, he knew that someone might have!
Ye Bai picked up the small black box phone and entered a message.
Karthus: Seven, do you still remember the topic about soul-based abilities we talked about before?
The self-disclosed young man: I remember, you finished writing it?
Death Song: Okay, I'll send the ten articles to Seventh Brother right away. Please have Seventh Brother pass them on to Elder Lan.
Karthus: As payment, could you help me make a request to Elder Lan?
Ye Bai briefly explained his requirements, and on the other side of the small black box, Shadow Forty-Nine (Zhao Ziyan) was slightly taken aback.
"This works?!"
She gasped.
She didn't realize that Karthus was actually quite intelligent!
Soon, Zhao Ziyan received ten articles on the Soul system and forwarded them, along with the conditions set by Death Song, to Elder Lan.
...
The Eternal Tower, eleventh floor.
The only two tower-dwelling otaku—Old Lan—is currently working at his desk, creating a strategy guide for the eleventh floor.
He has never been busier in the past few decades.
After failing to clear the Eternal Tower at night, I started making a walkthrough.
In just a few days, he went from the ninth floor to the twelfth floor and leveled up to 89, making incredibly fast progress!
"Beep beep—"
There was an extra email in his inbox, and Old Lan glanced at it.
"That little brat Zhao Ziyan is pushing ten soul-related papers onto me?"
Even if Elder Lan were to personally handle the writing of a thesis on the soul-related topics, it would still take a very long time to complete one.
Writing ten articles in one go, that's like having a cheat code!
What's more, it was an email sent by Zhao Ziyan, a typical academic underachiever.
Most people would simply ignore it.
Old Lan opened the email, glanced at it, and his expression changed.
"This was... written by Shura?"
The quality of the paper was unexpectedly high, even better than the papers that Professor Lan himself wrote!
After quickly reading through the ten papers, Professor Lan seemed to be deep in thought.
Many things in the paper were very inspiring to him, and he couldn't fully digest them all at once.
"If that's the case, perhaps there's another solution to the problem that's been troubling Ninth Brother..."
Old Lan looked at the last line of the email and his expression froze again.
"You want to find a way to counter [Wind Without Distance], and you're asking for it to be kept secret?"
This... is also Shura's requirement, right?
Generally speaking, to counter the Wind Without Distance, one cannot start with skills, but rather directly restrict the space.
Unable to move quickly, [Wind Without Distance] is essentially useless.
Once and for all.
However, this approach has a drawback: it hurts the enemy a thousand, but also harms yourself eight hundred.
This clearly does not meet Shura's needs.
Old Lan thought for a moment, then took out his phone and started dialing.
"Get Xue Meng."
"I'll send you a request form. Take it to your second uncle."
"Okay, that's it."
After hanging up the phone, the matter of Shura came to an end.
Professor Lan looked at the ten papers in the email again and fell into deep thought.
...
Training camp, multimedia classroom in area C.
"Ring ring—"
Just after the morning classes ended, Ye Bai received another message from Zhao Ziyan.
The young man who revealed himself: Old Lan replied to my email, there are some extras, I'll forward them to you.
