This Constraint Is So Great!

I understand you want me to translate Chinese text to natural English. However, you haven't provided any Chinese text for me to translate. Could you please share the Chinese text you'd like me to work on?

"Soul Echo" currently only has one ability: "Mimicry."

Although the detached shadow can be recognized as a kind of "clone" ability, the "lethality" it can currently exert is truly lacking.

The only thing worth praising is the shadow's range of activity.

Setting aside "strength," the freely movable range—even covering the entire Temple—is entirely feasible.

Converting the ultimate limit into a numerical value, it's roughly a 100-meter diameter "En."

This is merely the effect at the initial stage; as the level of "Hatsu" strengthens in the future, this number will undoubtedly see significant improvement.

Beyond that, in terms of control precision, it's not exactly smooth and effortless, but there's no obvious sense of sluggishness either.

If he hadn't already tested his attribute as "Specialist"—

Moyu would probably have thought he was an "Emitter" type.

But this is precisely the advantage of being a "Specialist": while manifesting ability effects, he isn't constrained by the "Nen Ability System."

For instance, Enhancers struggle to master and utilize Manipulator abilities, Conjurers are inherently poor at making "aura" leave their bodies, and Manipulators find it difficult to alter the nature of their "aura."

This is the Nen ability system—like—

Everyone has things they're good at and things they're not.

Focusing on what you excel at naturally yields twice the result with half the effort.

Conversely.

Deliberately choosing what you're bad at wastes "memory capacity" bit by bit.

But Specialists don't have to face this problem.

Depending on the type of ability born, it's not impossible to incorporate the strengths of other Nen attributes.

Take "Soul Echo" as an example.

The ability to mimic the shadow into a physical entity combines the traits of "Conjurer" and "Transmuter."

The shadow having a 100-meter diameter range of activity from birth is a trait of "Emitter."

Operating the shadow without noticeable sluggishness and easily completing given commands is a trait of "Manipulator."

Just a single "Mimicry" ability encompasses the traits of four Nen attributes.

But the problem lies in—

Specialists often need to establish various harsh "Vow and Restriction" conditions to highlight these ability effects.

Moyu is now considering expanding the upper limit of "Soul Echo," such as granting the shadow of "Soul Echo" the ability of "Vision Sharing," to more effectively leverage the advantage of the shadow's detached range of activity.

So the choice before him is to set a vow.

"Vow and Restriction..."

Moyu stared at the shadow, muttering to himself: "Set rules, swear in your heart to uphold them—the harsher the rule, the more powerful the ability effect it returns. It can be understood as a principle similar to equivalent exchange."

"I want Soul Echo to gain the ability of Vision Sharing, so..."

"Since it's sharing, it should logically include the pain the shadow endures, even the substantive damage inflicted on the shadow."

"Yes... this is a natural phenomenon, reasonable, and beyond doubt."

Moyu raised a finger.

The shadow cast by the lamplight instantly mimicked into a Shadow Person of equal volume to him.

Moyu looked at the Shadow Person before him and said softly, "Then let's give it a try. Grant me the ability of Vision Sharing, and what level of vow must I uphold in return."

As the words fell, Moyu lifted his palm and gently placed it on the Shadow Person's head.

"First... let's start with pain."

A soft, luminous Nen aura seeped from Moyu's palm, flowing like a gentle stream over the Shadow Person's body.

Following his heart's intent, he manipulated, altered, and applied the released "aura."

This is "Hatsu," the foundation for developing Nen abilities.

Moyu, aligning with his thoughts, used "aura" to impose a vow on the Shadow Person.

"That should be enough."

After a moment, Moyu withdrew his hand, then swung it backhand toward the Shadow Person.

Slap!

The back of his hand struck the Shadow Person's face, producing a faint sound.

At the same time.

The pain of being slapped was faithfully transmitted to Moyu.

"Ha, interesting. Truly interesting."

Moyu gently touched his cheek, where a faint sting still lingered, finding the experience exceptionally amusing.

When the shadow is attacked, the original body must receive the pain.

That is the Vow of "Pain Sharing."

If one's pain tolerance isn't strong enough, once the shadow suffers a fierce blow, the pain erupting in an instant could very well cause Moyu to lose consciousness on the spot as his body's protective mechanisms kick in while he takes it all in.

Understand this—

The separated shadow is inherently inferior to the original in terms of attack or defense.

The pain it must endure when receiving an attack should logically be higher than what the original would feel.

One could say that a Vow condition like Pain Sharing brings Moyu considerable risk in battle.

But after personally experiencing the effects of "Pain Sharing," the first thing Moyu thought of wasn't the risk this Vow posed in intense combat—it was its utility value!

"No need to worry about pain tolerance training anymore."

Moyu smiled as he looked at the Shadow Person standing before him.

He had no self-destructive tendencies, but he fully recognized the role "pain tolerance" could play in a fight.

For example, a Manipulator-type Nen user needs to concentrate to maintain and maximize their ability's effects.

But if that Manipulator's pain tolerance is insufficient, when attacked, the sudden intense pain could easily cause their ability to collapse, losing any chance of a counterattack.

Let's use a fitting and vivid metaphor.

A man using his ability in a stable state can make it hard, thick, and erect—but if the very part that makes it hard, thick, and erect takes a heavy blow...

That's the importance of "pain tolerance" in battle.

And the Shadow Person's "Pain Sharing" Vow, on the contrary, allowed him to improve his pain tolerance without needing to be injured.

An outstanding Nen user, while enjoying the multiplied effects of a "Vow," will also do their best to weaken the consequences and risks brought by the "Restriction," even reverse-utilizing the "Restriction" to create gains.

Moyu's mindset at this moment clearly matched the qualities of an excellent Nen user.

Having established the "Restriction," the next step was to verify the results brought by the "Vow."

Moyu directly turned around, then closed his eyes, activating the ability effect of "Vision Sharing."

In an instant—

The Shadow Person's perspective replaced the darkness before his eyes.

Moyu saw his own back.

This was the function of "Vow and Restriction"—as long as conditions were met, it could enhance and reshape the effects of Nen abilities in the short term.

"Smooth sailing."

Moyu opened his eyes and smiled.

To celebrate the further enhancement of the "Soul Echo" ability, Moyu threw a punch at the Shadow Person.

The pain from the strike immediately fed back to Moyu.

The smile on Moyu's face grew even wider.

This Restriction... is just too great!
