New Bug Skill: Close In Distance, Far In Horizon!

New Bug Skill: Close In Distance, Far In Horizon!

A full day of high-intensity soul battles.

Even Zhuge Lan, whose energy consumption was nonexistent, felt physically and mentally exhausted.

Not to mention Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong.

Yet Zhu Zhuqing still showed no intention of resting.

She grabbed Zhuge Lan and asked—

"I gained many insights while using Spiral Nine Shadows today. Help me clear up my doubts."

Zhuge Lan: "."

Ning Rongrong: "."

Zhuge Lan agreed in both pain and delight, then entered the room with Zhu Zhuqing.

He was tired, sure.

But Zhu Zhuqing would give him "compensation."

Either way, he would not lose out.

But Ning Rongrong...

Emotional Value +555

No!

You two had battled all day, and you still had the energy to cultivate?

Did you really have to work this hard?

After a fierce internal struggle.

Ning Rongrong still gave up on the idea of lying there like a corpse. She took out a pile of gems, arranged them beside her bed, and sat cross-legged to cultivate her Soul Power.

—Even people more talented than her were grinding away. How could she peacefully slack off?

That night.

After seeing off a blushing Zhu Zhuqing.

The exhausted Zhuge Lan threw himself onto his bed.

He summoned the system.

Emotional Value System

Emotional Value: 1115321;

Level: 36;

Soul Bone: External Attachment's Eye/1,000,000 years;

First Martial Soul: Li Jing Longsword;

Second Martial Soul: Thorn Armor;

Martial Soul Fusion: Demon Spirit, Hell Spirit Cat (Locked);

Store

It had surpassed one million!

His relationship with Zhu Zhuqing had already been confirmed. Winning her over completely was only a matter of time.

There was no rush to unlock the second Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

He should strengthen himself first.

He had plenty of options.

He could raise his Soul Ring Year Limit, unlock Soul Bone slots, exchange for advanced Soul Tools, or exchange for Nine Yin Manual Martial Arts.

But considering that—

He would soon be heading to the Star Dou Great Forest to find an opportunity to steal that little bastard's Eight Spider Lances.

Only Soul Bones and Soul Tools seemed more reliable.

Unlocking an External Soul Bone cost one million Emotional Value, and its Soul Bone Skill was full of uncertainty.

So his gaze settled on the Soul Tools.

He directly ruled out the low-grade ones.

After searching for a while.

He picked out several suitable items: ones for invisibility, concealing his aura, and locating treasures.

His objective was clear.

But he did not exchange for them immediately.

'System, how do Soul Bones unlock?'

Choose Any Soul Bone: 100,000 Emotional Value!

Can activate a Soul Bone in any one of the following areas: head, torso, arms, or legs. 100% compatibility!;

(Note: Soul Bones in the same slot can offset part of the Emotional Value cost depending on their quality, potentially reducing the activation cost to zero!)

'System, how is a Soul Bone's year limit calculated?'

Starts at 100 years. Spend 10 Emotional Value to increase it by 1 year!

The same setup again?

'Then once a Soul Bone exceeds one hundred thousand years, does it still only have one Soul Bone Skill?'

When a Soul Bone's year limit reaches one hundred thousand years, it has a chance to generate a new Soul Bone Skill or strengthen its original Soul Bone Skill!

'Are Soul Ring skills the same?'

Yes!

That was acceptable, then.

Soul Bones had to be unlocked sooner or later, so the earlier he did it, the sooner he could enjoy the benefits.

After subtracting the cost of the Soul Tools.

He could unlock Soul Bones in two or three slots.

As for which slots to unlock, there was not much to consider—he would start with the most valuable one.

'System, unlock the head Soul Bone.'

Spent 100,000 Emotional Value. Head Soul Bone unlocked!

Increase Soul Bone year limit: 10 Emotional Value/year;

"Edge Transparent Gargoyle Head Soul Bone": Enhances mental power and comes with a Soul Bone Skill.;

—Soul Bone Skill In Distance, Far In Horizon: As one breaks free from worldly karma, one's sense of presence continuously decreases, reaching a minimum of zero and achieving the effect of being close at hand yet far beyond the horizon!;

—Hundred-year quality. Only effective against those below Soul Grandmaster!

Oh-ho!

A divine skill!

The effect of this Soul Bone Skill looked similar to invisibility.

But invisibility still came with issues like smell, footprints, temperature, and so on.

Once his sense of presence was reduced without limit, however, those flaws would be subconsciously ignored!

Was that not more advanced than invisibility?

It was just that—

What did "worldly karma" mean?

He would know after trying it.

Zhuge Lan summoned the Soul Bone. A grayish-blue glow appeared on his forehead, gathering into a large-headed Gargoyle.

"Soul Bone Skill In Distance, Far In Horizon!"

The grayish-blue glow spread outward, covering Zhuge Lan's entire body.

Wherever it passed—

His clothes, ring, belt, and even his underwear slipped smoothly to the floor, folding themselves neatly into a pile.

Leaving behind a completely naked Zhuge Lan, staring in stunned disbelief!

(Sigh.)

You called stripping me bare breaking free from karma?

Fine, fine, fine!

So that was how you wanted to play it?

Zhuge Lan clutched his head as veins throbbed on his forehead.

Every single one of his abilities was more bizarre than the last!

'System, are you poisonous or something?'

The system did not react.

Zhuge Lan sighed and helplessly accepted reality.

Running around naked it was, then.

Anyway, once his sense of presence was reduced infinitely, even if others saw him, their minds would automatically forget it.

No!

At the very least, he had to wear shorts. That was the limit of what he could accept.

And this hundred-year quality only worked against people below Soul Grandmaster.

He crossed the originally planned invisibility Soul Tool off the list.

His fingers tapped rapidly.

He directly raised the year limit to—50,000 years!

It would work against anyone below Soul Douluo.

Only then did he feel at ease.

It would be enough for the short term at Shrek.

Including the cost of unlocking the Soul Bone, he had spent a total of 599,000 Emotional Value.

'Tsk!'

'This Emotional Value really isn't enough to spend.'

'But...'

'System, do your Soul Bones only boost the body and not Soul Power?'

Soul Power enhancement is separated independently. It can be integrated into the Soul Bone system, but it will increase the total price!

'Forget it.'

The wool came from the sheep. He would not bother with it.

Compared to that—

Now that he had this Soul Bone Skill, should he not go test it?

After getting dressed.

Zhuge Lan knocked on Zhu Zhuqing's Dormitory door.

She had probably just finished bathing. Her long, straight black hair was still damp, and her fair skin carried a rosy glow.

She had a special sort of charm.

"Come to my Dormitory. I need your help with something," Zhuge Lan said.

Emotional Value +1111

Emotional Value +666

In the middle of the night.

Knocking on a girl's door and asking her to go to his room.

Was he sure it was something proper?

Yet Zhu Zhuqing did not hesitate. She nodded and followed Zhuge Lan away.

A nearby window opened a crack, revealing a pair of sapphire-blue eyes.

Ning Rongrong watched Zhu Zhuqing actually enter Zhuge Lan's Dormitory.

She clicked her tongue inwardly.

Were they really being this blatant?

But the next moment.

Zhu Zhuqing came back out and returned to her own Dormitory.

"That fast?" Ning Rongrong asked in surprise.

"Huh?" Zhu Zhuqing looked confused. "What was fast?"

Ning Rongrong opened her mouth, but got stuck.

What had she wanted to say?

"If you can't remember, forget it. Go to sleep."

Zhu Zhuqing removed her outer clothing, leaving only her close-fitting undergarments.

Being like this allowed her mental power to concentrate more effectively.

Then she sat cross-legged on the bed, closed her eyes, and cultivated her Soul Power.

Ning Rongrong's eye twitched as she silently covered her chest.

Her heartbeat was powerful—because there was practically no barrier between them.

I know yours are big, but did you really need to flaunt them like that?

Mm.

Was there any chance this cultivation method helped one grow up?

Better to believe it than not.

Ning Rongrong cautiously took off her outer clothes as well.

A little lotus bud had just poked out its pointed tip.

Heartache.

Zhu Zhuqing was working this hard even while "resting"; Ning Rongrong couldn't sleep soundly either.

She sat cross-legged on the bed and began cultivating as well.

The room fell silent.

But neither girl knew.

Right in front of them, a certain someone wearing boxer briefs was staring at his girlfriend.

He silently cried that he couldn't take it anymore!

—As expected of 36D! Those valleys could bury him alive!

Just now.

The moment Zhu Zhuqing entered, he had activated the Soul Bone Skill: Close In Distance, Far In Horizon—and tightly gripped his boxer briefs.

At least this way, he could still explain himself.

But anything produced by the system was bound to be bugged.

Zhu Zhuqing directly "forgot" why she had come, then turned around and went back in confusion.

Zhuge Lan followed right behind her the whole way, yet she never noticed.

This made Zhuge Lan extremely excited!

It gave him the thrill of being a thief.

So what if he was naked?

As long as no one could remember him, he was invisible!

After admiring the sight for a while.

He moved on to test the next question.

—Did touching external objects count as becoming entangled in worldly karma?

Zhuge Lan prepared himself.

He carefully gripped the doorknob, but there was no reaction inside.

He gently twisted it and slowly opened the door.

Zhu Zhuqing's brows twitched, and she warily swept her gaze over.

Seeing the Dormitory door cracked open, confusion filled her eyes.

She remembered closing the door when she came back, didn't she?

Maybe she hadn't shut it properly.

Zhu Zhuqing got up and closed the door before returning to continue cultivating.

Throughout it all, she completely ignored Zhuge Lan beside her.

This left Zhuge Lan deep in thought.

He glanced at Ning Rongrong, who showed no sign of waking up.

Holding down his boxer briefs, he stored them in the system space—unlocked for 10,000 Emotional Value specifically to store clothes that had fallen off.

His presence was infinitely close to zero.

When he twisted the doorknob again, Zhu Zhuqing no longer reacted.

He gave the sight one last lingering look.

Then he flashed away and closed the door.

Returning to his own Dormitory.

He understood.

While Close In Distance, Far In Horizon was active, he could at most "equip" a pair of boxer briefs.

But he could no longer touch external objects.

Unless he went completely naked.

Mm.

He really was a damn pervert.

I should use Close In Distance, Far In Horizon as little as possible in the future.

One careless mistake, and I'll lose all reputation.

With Close In Distance, Far In Horizon,

there was no need to exchange for a Soul Tool that concealed his body and aura.

What should he do with the remaining six hundred thousand-plus?

He directly ignored unlocking Soul Bones.

—If he got another bugged yet wicked Soul Bone Skill, all these Emotional Value points would have to be poured into it.

He should strengthen his speed a little, lest he lose track of them later.

He spent 400,000 Emotional Value to exchange for the second and third levels of Spiral Nine Shadows.

He pushed it straight to Great Perfection.

Then he spent another 100,000 Emotional Value to exchange for...
