10: Chapter 10 Unrestrained Smile

Heroic Spirits' exclusive skills are divided into three types: [True Martial Skill], [Legendary Technique], and [Fantasy Skill]!

A Heroic Spirit's skills originate from historical allusions.

Skills constructed from real historical allusions are called: [True Martial Skill].

Skills constructed from allusions in novels, romances, and literary works are called: [Legendary Technique].

Skills based on mythological stories are [Fantasy Skill].

There is no hierarchy of strength among the three types of skills.

However, there are significant differences in applicability and flexibility.

[Fantasy Skill] is a skill constructed from mythological stories. Because these are fantastical and magnificent myths, the abilities such exclusive skills bestow upon Heroic Spirits are more unrestrained, allowing them to deal with more rules and rivers of time, making them more versatile.

[True Martial Skill] is the exact opposite. It is an ability constructed from 'historical fact' allusions. The abilities it grants are mostly limited within logical bounds, so such skills have low versatility.

[Legendary Technique], sandwiched between [Fantasy Skill] and [True Martial Skill], is neither here nor there.

[Seven In, Seven Out] is precisely a [Legendary Technique]!

Historical records like the "Records of the Three Kingdoms: Biography of Zhao Yun" do not contain "Seven In, Seven Out"; "Seven In, Seven Out" is an allusion from the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms."

Since Chen Aoyun used an allusion from a novel as the basis for constructing the skill, the [Seven In, Seven Out] he constructed is naturally a [Legendary Technique].

[True Martial Skill], [Legendary Technique], and [Fantasy Skill]. Although there is no difference in strength among the three types of Heroic Spirit exclusive skills, the Construction Power they consume varies wildly.

"The Construction Power left to me by the previous [Strategist] is too little, so little that I can't even bear to change the skin for 'Brother Yide'."

"Fortunately, [Seven In, Seven Out] is only a [Legendary Technique]. If it were a [Fantasy Skill], I wouldn't even be able to afford to construct this skill!"

This is the game within the Game of National Destiny!

There is no such thing as a skill being strong or not, only whether it is suitable or not!

What kind of skill fits the current environment; what kind of skill neither violates the most basic grand rules of the Game of National Destiny nor the constantly changing minor rules; and one must also consider the consumption of Construction Power for different types of skills; these are all things a [Strategist] in the Game of National Destiny needs to carefully ponder!

Fortunately, Chen Aoyun is a transmigrator, and he is familiar with all the True Martial, Legendary, and Fantasy allusions.

Fortunately, Huaxia Civilization has spanned thousands of years, and there are all kinds of people (Heroic Spirits) and all kinds of stories!

"Not competing on strength, but on tricks?"

"This world of the Game of National Destiny is actually quite interesting."

His signature grin appeared once again.

It's nothing more than using Heroic Spirits and allusions to pull off fancy tricks, right?

After one success, Chen Aoyun's confidence was fully boosted!

"With five thousand years of Huaxia Civilization, what kind of existence hasn't appeared!?"

"Huaxia's Heroic Spirits are the ones capable of dealing with all kinds of rules and common situations!"

Seeing Chen Aoyun's wanton smile, many viewers felt displeased.

"A country that has long relied on authorizations for Heroic Spirits from other nations in the Game of National Destiny, they've merely snatched the 'tree of dark twilight', what is there to be proud of?"

"You people of the Dragon Country may have snatched the 'tree of dark twilight', but don't forget, you are still surrounded by High-level Demons!"

"I don't believe your Heroic Spirit can activate [In] again!"

The viewers in the live stream didn't even know the real name of [Zhao Yun], let alone the name of the exclusive skill [Seven In, Seven Out].

[Seven In, Seven Out] has [In] and also has [Out]!

Is being surrounded by High-level Demons such a big deal?

The rule of [In] is to dash and blink towards the enemy; one cannot break out of encirclement using [In].

But isn't there still [Out]?

A similar scene happened again: Just as the barrage in the live stream mocking Chen Aoyun for still being surrounded floated by, the next moment, Chen Aoyun shouted — [Out]!

He instantly blinked another hundred meters, only this time the blink was in the opposite direction.

" [Out]! "

" [Out]! "

After three shouts, to everyone's astonishment, Chen Aoyun returned to his original position.

It was as if nothing had happened, except that behind Chen Aoyun, there was now a 'tree of dark twilight' emitting strange rule-based power.

"I'm losing it!"

"Did I count wrong? He blinked six times in a row!?"

"Once or twice, I'd just say this exclusive skill is practical; three or four times, I'd say this skill is a bit strong; but what the hell is six times?!"

"A skill that can blink six times in a row, surely it already has the potential of a T0 exclusive skill, right?!"

"The most deadly part is that this seems to be just a [Legendary Technique], and it doesn't consume much Construction Power!"

The live stream couldn't see what type the Heroic Spirit's exclusive skill was, but the viewers weren't stupid. The total Construction Power obtained by the two [Strategists] of the Dragon Country wasn't much. Judging by the Construction Power obtained by the Dragon Country, it wasn't enough to construct a [Fantasy Skill]. Furthermore, since this skill deviated from the bounds of logic, it wasn't likely to be a [True Martial Skill] either. That left only [Legendary Technique].

A [Legendary Technique] that can blink back and forth six times, maybe even more than six times—it truly has the potential of a T0 skill!

"This exclusive skill of the Dragon Country is quite magical; I just don't know what the skill is called, or where the logic of the constructed allusion lies..."

Just as many viewers were curious about this skill, the professional commentator York suddenly spoke:

"The performance of the Dragon Country's [Strategist] seems to have alarmed the Support Groups of some countries. Some Support Groups are sparing no expense, consuming precious 'off-site items' to contact their own [Strategists] to investigate the Dragon Country's skill!"

"Off-site items" are special rewards obtained after achieving rankings in the Game of National Destiny.

There are 'off-site items' with all kinds of effects, among which 'one additional call from the Support Group' is one of the most common items.

It's not that there are no off-site items that can directly view skill effects, but such items are too rare and precious. Coupled with the fact that there are 'in-game items' that can be used, the best choice is: contact one's own [Strategist] with a cheap 'communication' item, and have the [Strategist] use an in-game item to check the effect of Zhao Yun's skill.

Anyway, special in-game items cannot be taken out of the Game of National Destiny, nor can they be kept for the next round, so there's no heartache in using them.

It was the Romans who contacted their own [Strategist] to check the skill effect of [Seven In, Seven Out].

After the professional commentator York saw the Romans using an item obtained in the game to check the Dragon Country's skill, he inexplicably blurted out this sentence:

"In this Game of National Destiny, regardless of faction, a total of three off-site items can be used, and this is the Romans' last one."

"The usage right for this last off-site item has been consumed. I wonder if it will become a foreshadowing for some countries to drop in ranking later..."

"Why would I have such a thought?"

Commentator John scratched his head. The Romans had checked the effect of [Zhao Yun]'s exclusive skill, and this effect appeared on the public screen in the live stream immediately:

Exclusive Skill: [Seven In, Seven Out] (Legendary Technique)

Skill effect constructed this time: Can use [In] seven times to approach hostile targets; can use [Out] seven times to move away from targets.

The effect range within the corruption is one hundred meters, and the distance to break away from the corruption is one hundred and fifty meters.

They still didn't know the real name of [Zhao Yun], but this explosive skill effect still shocked many people.

"Seven [In]s, seven [Out]s, holy crap, that's fifteen blinks in total, that's pretty badass! At the very least, it's a skill with T0 potential."

"You damn cat, was your math taught by your P.E. teacher? Seven plus seven is fourteen, you idiot..."
