"Spatial Fissure and... Soul Transfer?"
The information in Jiang Miaoyinâs words was overwhelming, causing Chu Xiu to become even more serious.
An SSS Talent, along with the additional Blessing from an Outer Realm Demon!
Why is it the Outer Realm Demon again? Could this person also be involved with the Extreme Dao?
Given his mad demeanor, it wouldnât be surprising if he was related to the Extreme Dao. What Chu Xiu really cared about was whether his true identity had been revealed, which is why he was being hunted by the Extreme Dao?
Or did he merely stand in the way of Jiang Miaoyin, and the real target was actually her? Or was it all just a coincidence?
But regardless, one thing was certain: the opponent had most likely set their sights on him. People like that, if slighted, would never let it go, and even if Chu Xiu did not pursue him, he would not let Chu Xiu go.
"Miss Jiang, could you please explain this personâs Talent in more detail?" Chu Xiu asked.
Jiang Miaoyin nodded and said, "[Spatial Fissure] can essentially destroy space directly. This kind of attack, aimed at the essence of space, allows the Murder Ghost to almost disregard defenses."
"Of course, itâs not entirely negligent of defenses. The state of matter changes the structure of space; the more stable and denser the object, the more âcompressedâ the surrounding space becomes and the more difficult it is to destroy."
"Furthermore, exerting such a terrifyingly powerful Talent consumes a great deal of Energy, so the most common attack strategy is to condense energy into lines for [Spatial Cutting]."
Jiang Miaoyinâs words quickly made Chu Xiu understand that, in short, the opponent had an attack Skill with an extremely high percentage [Armor Piercing] Attribute.
Against such an enemy, stacking defense is basically useless; you need to stack health instead! Creatures like Celestial Dragons with their massive bodies, or Blood Demon Incarnations capable of constant rebirth, could suppress the Murder Ghost, making it difficult to cut even if they just stood there.
However, if it were just that, it wouldnât be such a hassle. After all, there are plenty of powerful attack Skills out there, but what truly makes him a horrifying figure is a combination of Profession and Blessing!
Jiang Miaoyin continued, "[Spirit Puppet Master (A)] can refine puppets with Special Attributes and perform Remote Control. As for [Soul Transfer (S)], it allows transferring oneâs Soul into the Spirit Puppet they refined, greatly enhancing the puppetâs maneuverability and Attributes while being able to use the userâs Talent!"
"Although the Talentâs Power is less than half, perhaps even not even a third! But thanks to the completely overwhelming damage of [Spatial Cutting], thereâs almost no Same Tier opponent able to withstand the Murder Ghostâs attack."
Jiang Miaoyinâs explanation made Chu Xiu fully realize just how preposterous this guy was.
The slashing attack that ruined his two pieces of [Legend] Equipment earlier wasnât even one-third of its strongest Power!
If his real body had come, wouldnât it be possible to actually kill him?
Not to mention him, even someone as heroic as a [Heroic Spirit] would find defending against such an attack exasperating!
No wonder itâs on par with [Perfect Refining], the same level SSS Talent. Itâs truly terrifying!
"So, this is an Awakened who can keep themselves in an absolutely safe location, continuously sending out hidden, specialized Spirit Puppets for ultra-long-distance assassination!"
Chu Xiu stroked his chin, now fully comprehending how troublesome this Li Ge was.
Of course, it wasnât without any weaknesses either. The Armor Piercing ability of [Spatial Cutting] was indeed incontestable, but its range was limited, barely scratching creatures like Celestial Dragons or Earth Dragons.
But even so, it was fearsome enough.
"Moreover, judging by his performance just now, his Profession has likely been upgraded to [Puppet Master (S)] using an Upgrade Spark, further enhancing the puppetâs characteristics. Otherwise, that Human Puppet would not have such strong Concealment capabilities that even I didnât detect it at first." Jiang Miaoyin sighed.
Chu Xiu did not reply, just quietly pondered over the current situation.
After a while, he made a decision and stepped deeper into the Soul Hall.
"Hey, senior, where are you going?"
Seeing Chu Xiu leave, Jiang Miaoyin quickly caught up.
Chu Xiu turned back and said, "Our transaction is complete; thereâs no need for me to report where Iâm going."
"Oh senior, why are you so distant?" Jiang Miaoyin followed with a playful smile. "If youâre exploring the Soul Hall, you should have just said so. You saved my life, and Iâm willing to provide scouting services for free!"
Chu Xiu chuckled, "You just want my protection."
Jiang Miaoyin didnât deny it and straightforwardly said, "Although that Murder Ghost seems to be after you, who knows what a madman wants to do. I feel safer following you."
"Besides, it looks like you actually need my help in scouting. You donât seem to be skilled in Investigation Skills."
"Itâs normal to be more inclined to particular skills. Senior, thereâs no need to feel inferior. Where is there a Profession that can do everything?"
Chu Xiu almost wanted to say that there actually is one, itâs just that she doesnât know about it. However, after thinking it through, he didnât refuse and simply said, "Help me find a hidden corner; I need to prepare some tools to deal with the Murder Ghost."
"You should also rest and deal with those Holy Spirit Bodies."
Seeing Chu Xiu agree, Jiang Miaoyin showed a bright smile, "Understood!"
She waved her hand, sending a mass of Instantaneous deeper into the Soul Hall, continuously clearing the debris along the way, exploring and building new pathways.
Before long, Jiang Miaoyinâs eyes lit up, "Senior, I found a hidden chamber. It seems like a place a big shot used for secret affairs, thereâs a big bed inside; the Murder Ghost surely wonât find us!"
