Why do I feel like all of my soul skills are just survival-based? My first soul skill parasitizes someone, and the second one just lets me escape.
Let Time Worm slowly consume the enemy's martial soul and life essence while I hide and observe from the shadows.
This is just way too cowardly.
Nan Fusheng couldn't help but complain about his soul skills. It was all about survival, survival, survival. He could only hope that his third soul skill—after reaching Soul Elder rank—wouldn't be something so heavily geared toward running away.
But complaining was one thing—deep down, he understood it was unlikely to change. After all, the path he'd inherited was famously one of the "Three Cowardly Factions" in Lord of the Mysteries.
Right now, what mattered was testing and mastering this new ability. This teleportation power was derived from the "Door" pathway—one of the three major sequences from Lord of the Mysteries. That's also why he named his second soul spirit Star Worm.
"This ability seems similar to Sequence 5 of the Door pathway—Traveler's Gate.
In Lord of the Mysteries, teleportation was done via the Spirit World. But this world doesn't have a Spirit World...
So it just became a direct space ability instead?"
Nan Fusheng shook his head. No point in dwelling on the metaphysics. The key point was simple: it worked. Now that he had long-range teleportation, his ability to stay alive had drastically improved.
"Short-distance teleportation should allow me to bring others, too.
But there may be delay or interference… unless I plant a Star Worm on the target as a beacon."
Over the next three days, Nan Fusheng diligently experimented with the capabilities of Gate.
Knock, Knock, Knock.
A knock at the door interrupted his testing. Who'd be visiting at this hour?
Opening it casually, he saw Tang Wulin standing outside.
"Wulin? What's up?"
"Come to my room. Got something to talk about with everyone," Tang Wulin waved him over and then knocked on the next door.
It was early evening. They'd all just returned from dinner, so everyone was in the dorm. Before long, the whole crew had gathered in Tang Wulin's room.
So, Captain, Nan Fusheng joked, what royal decree do you have for us today?
Tang Wulin replied, "I've got something for everyone.
