Background / History

Ban Ye Shu joined Misty Pavilion as its only male player in the main guild and quickly distinguished himself as a stealth specialist. He tested Ye Luo with a concealed assassination attempt shortly after Ye Luo arrived at the studio, but Ye Luo blocked his attack and forced him to concede. Rather than being discouraged, Ban Ye Shu sought Ye Luo's advice on detection, dual-wielding, and assassination techniques. 207 209

After obtaining the Gale Assassin Hidden Profession, he demonstrated Wind Concealment, a skill that uses wind energy to hide his presence and killing intent. Yan Hua Yi Leng nonetheless exposed him by noticing the faint breeze caused by the technique, establishing both his exceptional stealth and the limits of that stealth against highly observant opponents. 293

His profession later evolved into Wind Concealment Venerable. The class combined Assassin and Swordsman capabilities, allowing him to wield a dagger and long sword, learn both professions' skills, and develop into an unusually durable close-range assassin. He trained with Breaking Waves Riding Wind to adapt Ye Luo's Twin Blade Secret Technique and Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Footwork; while he could not initially defeat her, he began to counterattack rather than merely defend. 1122

Ban Ye Shu became one of Misty Pavilion's principal scouts and treasure hunters. His habit of exploring maps and opening treasure chests supplied the guild with many upgrade materials and Immortal Artifacts, including an Immortal Artifact used to upgrade Ye Luo's Blade of Reincarnation. 590 1007

Personality

Ban Ye Shu is competitive, proud of his stealth and mobility, and eager to test himself against stronger opponents. He actively sought fights with Wuming, Dark Night, Tokyo Myth, Dongfang Shitian, and other elite players, viewing difficult opponents as opportunities to refine his assassination techniques. 641 3513 4480

Despite his confidence, he is team-oriented and pragmatic. He has relinquished valuable rewards when they would better serve the guild, deferred business matters to others to concentrate on becoming stronger, and volunteered to remain behind when his presence could deter an enemy siege. 1344 4185 4539

He deeply respects Ye Luo as a mentor, while Wuming is his idol within the assassin community. His ambitions are tempered by an awareness of his limitations; even after his equipment and attributes surpassed many rivals, he acknowledged that assassin duels can be decided in only one or two exchanges. 1786 4961

Abilities & Skills

Wind Concealment Venerable Combat Style

Ban Ye Shu is a hybrid Assassin–Swordsman whose class grants access to both weapon styles and skill systems. This lets him function as a stealth assassin, a close-range duelist, or a resilient front-line fighter when necessary. 1122 1918 3861

• Uses a dagger for fast defense, parries, and close-range assassination.
• Uses a long sword for swift thrusts, pressure, and extended reach.
• Applies Ye Luo's Twin Blade Secret Technique and Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Footwork, though he initially remained less proficient than Ye Luo. 1122
• Possesses enough durability to act as a main tank for smaller teams despite wearing leather armor. 2179

Stealth and Assassination

His core strength is approaching targets undetected, controlling them at close range, and preventing them from creating distance.

• Wind Concealment — Uses wind energy to conceal his presence and entirely hide killing intent; it is separate from ordinary Stealth. 293
• Stealth and Stealth Art — Can enter concealment before combat and force invisibility again during combat. 5361
• Backstab, Ambush, Thrust, and Gouge — Enhanced Assassin skills with added wind damage. 293
• Can disrupt enemy spellcasting and movement by remaining close with Charge, Thorned Dash, and precise footwork. 5327 5362
• His stealth is not absolute: wind disturbance, detection items, high-level monsters, and wide-area attacks can reveal or locate him. 293 965

Wind Control and Area Attacks

Unlike a conventional single-target Assassin, Ban Ye Shu has multiple wind-element control and area skills.

• Wind Strike — Single-target wind attack. 293
• Wind Formation — Trap-based area attack that damages and slows targets when triggered. 293
• Wind Restriction — A 15-meter formation that binds targets for two seconds while dealing damage. 2677
• His wind-element equipment improves the accuracy and control effects of both his Assassin and Swordsman skills. 1916

Mobility and Survival

Ban Ye Shu's mobility is central to both assassination and survival. His wind-element class, movement skills, and repeated invincibility options allow him to engage stronger enemies without being easily trapped.

• Gale Step — Speed-enhancing movement skill. 293 5361
• Wind Concealment Swift Kill — A 100-meter movement attack that damages enemies along its path and can trigger triple critical hits. 4549
• Wind Spirit Robe — Blocks one attack, including its crowd-control effect. 5361
• Uses Divine Dance Steps, Thorned Dash, Charge, and other movement skills to evade ranged attacks and force close combat. 5361
• Cooldown Reset — Refreshes his skill cooldowns, greatly expanding his ability to reuse movement, control, and invincibility skills. 3071 3513

Hell Trial Endurance

The Universe Gourd enabled Ban Ye Shu to accumulate vast reserves of Health Points. During the Hell Trial, he had stored 89.12 million Health Points and used his high burst damage, life recovery, invincibility skills, and movement to survive images of the Ten Great Demon Gods. 5203 5204

• Can conserve the Gourd's stored Health Points because his equipment and skill system already provide exceptional survival.
• Uses invincibility skills against dangerous attacks rather than wasting them against ordinary attacks. 5204
• Completed high-level Hell Trial stages against artificial-intelligence opponents, including Qian Li Zou Dan Qi and Amaterasu God. 5326 5327

Equipment

• Dragon Scale Dagger — His signature dagger; later upgraded to a High-Grade National Weapon. 2276 4549
• Gale Ring — God Grade wind-element special equipment received with his Wind Concealment Venerable advancement. 1121 1122
• Gale Demon Wolf — Ancient God Grade mount gained from his Trial Mission. 1122
• Heart of the Assassin — Nation Suppressing National Weapon that enhances allied units within 100 meters, with greater bonuses for Assassins. It was awarded to Ban Ye Shu because he leads Assassin operations. 4093 4094
• Universe Gourd — Complete combination-equipment set and Magic Treasure. Its Awakened Skill, Universe Reversal, significantly improves his value in team battles and its stored Health Points support his survivability. 4185 4186 5203
• Dragon God Armor — National Weapon armor that contributed to his ability to contend with top experts. 3376
• Wind God's Boots — National Weapon footwear with the Wind Restriction formation skill. 2677
• Ten Directions Battle Banner component — Possesses one component of the banner, contributing to his equipment advantage. 3513

Relationships

• Ye Luo Zhi Qiu — Mentor, teammate, and trusted senior. Ban Ye Shu studies Ye Luo's dual-blade combat, footwork, and assassination techniques, while Ye Luo deliberately gives him opportunities to grow against stronger opponents. 209 1122 3513
• Zhi Yue — Close companion. Ban Ye Shu supports her competitive goals and his feelings for her are hinted at when she advocates giving him the Heart of the Assassin. 4093 4094 5378
• Breaking Waves Riding Wind — Sparring partner and senior rival. She recognizes his growth but repeatedly challenges his confidence and combat skill. 1122 5392
• Yan Hua Yi Leng — Strategic adviser and fellow Misty Pavilion leader. She identifies weaknesses in his stealth, assigns him scouting tasks, and analyzes enemy battle footage for him. 293 1122 5392
• Chang He Luo Ri — Frequent combat partner. Their coordinated attacks, especially against stronger enemy groups and bosses, make them a key mobile force for Misty Pavilion. 4255 4377 4848
• Wuming — Idol and assassination mentor figure. Ban Ye Shu recognizes Wuming as an undefeated legend among Assassins and seeks to learn from him. 641 1786 3245

National Weapon and Combination Equipment Growth

Hell Trial and Arena Battles
