Lin Yu could actually have used the [Gray Spirit Eye] to leave the opponent's "encirclement" much earlier, avoiding the attacks entirely. There had been no need to worry about "breaking free afterward."
After all, although [Shady Corner] had become ineffective, Lin Yu still had plenty of ways to move quickly.
Especially in the state of "Spirit Body Transformation," those movement methods would only give him greater flexibility, agility, and mobility.

After all, the opponent had been able to render [Shady Corner] ineffective... Although this had not caused Lin Yu any actual harm, it had still made him intensely curious.
He had to figure out the principle that allowed this guy to nullify [Items]!
If a Pseudo-Human like this could render [Shady Corner] ineffective today, then perhaps some other thing would cancel the effects of [Sweet Words and Flattering Looks] the day after tomorrow, and the day after that even [Limit Breaking Jade Cleaver] might stop working!
