9: Chapter 9 Seven In and Seven Out

Every nation has many Heroic Spirits with T0 attributes.

Even if a Heroic Spirit's initial stats don't reach the T0 standard, the Game of National Destiny has various tasks, rules, items, and resource points that can boost a Heroic Spirit's stats, supplementing and improving those that originally didn't meet the T0 standard.

Attribute values are not the standard for judging whether a Heroic Spirit is truly powerful.

Being a 'stat monster' is also not the key to clearing the Game of National Destiny.

Exclusive skills are!

" [ The rules of the Game of National Destiny cannot be defied ] . "

" This is the consensus of all nations participating in the Game of National Destiny, and it is the eternal, unchanging truth of the New Era . "

Professional commentator York said slowly while facing the camera,

" Rules cannot be defied, but they can be utilized! "

" [ In the Game of National Destiny, there is no most powerful Heroic Spirit, only the Heroic Spirit most suited to the rules ] ! "

" Rationally utilizing the rules . "

" Or, without violating the overall grand rules, how to utilize 'Heroic Spirit exclusive skills' to create small rules beneath the grand rules is the key point that best reflects the role of [ Heroic Spirit ]s, and of course, it is also the place that most tests a [ Strategist ]'s understanding of their own Heroic Spirit! "

" The power of [ Heroic Spirit ]s and [ wonder ]s both come from the 'humanistic power' of the Old Era, and their exclusive skills are naturally the same . "

" With cultural gaps and historical fractures, some nations can't even handle their own [ Heroic Spirit ]s, let alone the 'Heroic Spirit exclusive skills' that are closely related to the [ Heroic Spirit ]'s legends! "

Commentator York, while popularizing knowledge about the role of exclusive skills and their related legends to the audience, also expressed his confusion:

" The Dragon Kingdom is just such an existence that doesn't even have its own [ Heroic Spirit ], but it's strange; this newcomer [ Strategist ] not only manifested a Heroic Spirit for the Dragon Kingdom, but even comprehended its exclusive skill when these [ Heroic Spirit ]s first appeared? "

" [ Heroic Spirit ] exclusive skills are extremely difficult to comprehend, especially for those Heroic Spirits not recorded in extant classics . "

" Without a known legend to serve as an 'anchor,' to know a [ Heroic Spirit ]'s legend and use that legend to unlock an exclusive skill, a [ Strategist ] needs to contemplate the [ Heroic Spirit ] for a long time . "

" Most nations are largely stuck on this 'contemplation' when it comes to unlocking Heroic Spirit abilities . "

Commentator York was very puzzled. Clearly, the Dragon Kingdom's Heroic Spirit was not an existence recorded in extant classics; it was one thing for this new [ Strategist ] of the Dragon Kingdom to be able to manifest it into a Heroic Spirit, but to be able to comprehend the Heroic Spirit's exclusive skill the very first time it appeared?

This is too incredible!

The other commentator, Heller, heard his colleague's confusion, rubbed his chin in thought for a moment, and offered his own guess:

" There are two possibilities! "

" Either the Dragon Kingdom's Heroic Spirit is sufficiently special, belonging to that kind of special existence that comes with an exclusive skill the moment it becomes a [ Heroic Spirit ] . "

" Or, this new [ Strategist ] of the Dragon Kingdom is special; he can quickly perceive the [ Heroic Spirit ]'s legend and construct the Heroic Spirit's exclusive skill after perceiving the legend . "

" I lean towards the second one . "

" This new [ Strategist ] of the Dragon Kingdom is a descendant of this [ Heroic Spirit ], and because of some kind of peculiar bloodline connection, it allowed this [ Strategist ] to comprehend the other's legend the very first time he played the [ Heroic Spirit ] chess piece, thereby constructing the exclusive skill! "

A descendant of the Heroic Spirit bloodline, you say?

There is indeed such a theory ...

As the two commentators discussed, Chen Aoyun had already successfully constructed [ Zhao Yun ]'s exclusive skill on the Starlight Chessboard .

The 'chess piece' representing [ Zhao Yun ]'s exclusive skill was in Chen Aoyun's hand .

He gently 'played the piece' once more, and the constructed skill merged with the [ Heroic Spirit Chess Piece ]. In the chess board scene, his avatar, and the [ Zhao Yun ] Heroic Spirit Manifestation above the avatar, gained a line of skill text at that very moment!

Although [ Zhao Yun ] now had an exclusive skill, regardless of whether they were regular viewers or professional commentators, the live stream still didn't favor the Dragon Kingdom .

" A Heroic Spirit's exclusive skill is not an invincible existence . "

" This is not the first time a Heroic Spirit's exclusive skill has appeared in this Game of National Destiny . "

" The Dragon Kingdom's [ Strategist ] doesn't think that just because he has the ability to construct an exclusive skill, he can disregard the High-level Demon, right? "

" [ The rules of the Game of National Destiny cannot be defied ] . "

" The theme of this Game of National Destiny is 'Survival,' and the High-level Demon is an existence blessed by the grand rules; it is almost impossible to kill! "

" I don't believe that just by having one more exclusive skill, he, a Dragon Kingdom person, can kill the High-level Demon and seize the 'tree of dark twilight' . "

Regular viewers thought this way, and professional commentators thought much the same .

However, they all overlooked one point:

To seize the 'tree of dark twilight,' one does not necessarily have to kill the High-level Demon!

That's right, the High-level Demon is almost immovable due to the influence of the entire Game of National Destiny's grand rules, so why not just avoid shaking the High-level Demon?

The High-level Demon—let him be strong; can't I just bypass this grand rule?

The Chen Aoyun avatar in the chess board scene slowly opened its eyes .

The previous closing of eyes was not because he couldn't 'operate' it; the energy consumed by one avatar was not that great, and Chen Aoyun was not so delicate as to reach that level .

Letting the avatar close its eyes was just waiting .

Waiting for himself on the star board to 'play' the Heroic Spirit's exclusive skill!

Chen Aoyun opened his eyes .

[ Zhao Yun ]'s Heroic Spirit exclusive skill, activate!

In the live stream footage, one could see the Heroic Spirit Manifestation behind Chen Aoyun suddenly light up once again .

Accompanied by a muffled shout:

" [ Advance ] ! "

Without acceleration, without a charge, the Heroic Spirit Manifestation behind Chen Aoyun merely raised its long spear and pointed it forward .

Like a 'silver flash,' Chen Aoyun and the 'Zhao Yun unit' behind him instantly blinked one hundred meters forward!

" The Dragon Kingdom Heroic Spirit's exclusive skill is a blink ability? "

" It's quite a practical skill, but the blink distance is a bit short; it still can't reach that 'tree of dark twilight' behind the High-level Demon guard . "

Once [ Zhao Yun ]'s skill came out, everyone assumed they had seen through Chen Aoyun's little scheme .

Not thinking about killing the High-level Demon, but instead directly blinking to the side of the High-level Demon to forcibly seize the 'tree of dark twilight'!

The idea was quite ingenious, it's just a pity that the blink distance was a bit pathetic ...

" Hahaha, so this is the idea the Dragon Kingdom [ Strategist ] had in mind . "

" It's just a pity that the blink distance was too short; not only did he not blink to the side of the 'tree of dark twilight,' but he actually made himself go deeper into the enemy's lair, getting surrounded even more tightly! "

Only blinking forward one hundred meters, this awkward position indeed made Chen Aoyun more passive .

However, just as these mocking bullet comments in the live stream had floated past .

In the footage .

Chen Aoyun's voice rang out once again!

It was the same single word:

" [ Advance ] ! "

The Manifestation behind him raised its silver spear again, another blink of a hundred meters!

After this blink, Chen Aoyun could already clearly feel the aura of the 'tree of dark twilight.' Similarly, this distance also attracted the attention of the High-level Demon beside the 'tree of dark twilight,' which charged at Chen Aoyun immediately!

Before the High-level Demon could kill its way to his front, Chen Aoyun shouted again:

" [ Advance ] ! "

While the High-level Demon lunged at nothing, Chen Aoyun arrived in front of the 'tree of dark twilight'!

With a grin, Chen Aoyun did not dismount; he stood directly on the horse's back, pulled the 'tree of dark twilight' out of the soil, and placed it on the horse's back .

The set of actions was smooth and flowing, leaving the viewers and professional commentators in the live stream stunned!

" The same skill released three times in a row? "

" How is this possible! "

" The basic rule of the Game of National Destiny: one skill can only be released once in one Game of National Destiny . "

" Activating the same skill three times in a row conflicts with the most basic rules of the Game of National Destiny. How did this new [ Strategist ] of the Dragon Kingdom do it? "

Both commentators stood up with a 'swish' simultaneously. The young commentator, Heller, stared fixedly at the screen and said in disbelief .

The Dragon Kingdom Heroic Spirit's skill is not strong; the effect is just a blink, but that is absolutely not the point!

The point is, why can the Dragon Kingdom's [ Heroic Spirit ] cast the same skill three times? Why is it allowed to cast it three times?

This has seriously violated the basic rules of the Game of National Destiny!

" Perhaps it is not that one skill was released three times," the more senior and knowledgeable commentator, York, stared at the live stream screen,

" But that all three blinks are the same skill! "

York's words were somewhat hard to understand, but Heller, standing to the side, understood .

And York's guess was not wrong .

This was not Chen Aoyun activating [ Zhao Yun ]'s exclusive skill three times in a row, but rather that [ Zhao Yun ]'s exclusive skill, [ Seven In, Seven Out ], can approach hostile targets seven times!

[ Seven In, Seven Out ]—Chen Aoyun only used up [ Three In ] to seize the 'tree of dark twilight' .

What is rational skill construction?

What does it mean that there is no strongest exclusive skill, only the most suitable exclusive skill!

Chen Aoyun demonstrated it solidly once!
