Guessing, Reasoning, Verification

"What happened?"

Watching Manager Ning fly toward him, the Sect Master offered a greeting.

"You're already so old. Couldn't you act a little more maturely, like Rongrong?"

Manager Ning caught his breath, pulled Han Tao aside, and began explaining.

"Han Tao just described a method for improving the physique."

"Hmm!" Ning Fengzhi grunted softly.

"He said healing could be divided into two types. Deep treatment can reach the microscopic level and cure the meridians."

Manager Ning had glossed over the important details and failed to answer about the method for improving the physique.

"What!" Ning Fengzhi shot to his feet.

"It can reach the microscopic level and cure the meridians. Is that true?"

he shouted.

"It hasn't been verified yet, Sect Master!"

Manager Ning hurriedly explained, a trace of cold sweat appearing on his forehead as he secretly hoped Han Tao's words were true.

At that moment, Han Tao spoke.

"Yes, Sect Leader Ning. The first soul skill I chose, Firefly Light, is a type of healing that reaches the microscopic level."

"Have you tested it?"

Han Tao nodded and continued, "Before obtaining my Soul Ring, I severed the hoof tendon of a Gray Wolf and tested three Healing Type Soul Beasts: Fluorescent Grass, Begonia Flower, and Sunshine Sunflower."

"Begonia Flower and Sunshine Sunflower had no restorative effect on the hoof tendon. Of course, the possibility that their years were insufficient cannot be ruled out."

"Fluorescent Grass, however, produced a healing effect on the hoof tendon. That's why I chose Fluorescent Grass for my First Soul Ring."

Hearing Han Tao's clear and orderly answer, Ning Fengzhi somewhat believed him and continued questioning.

"After obtaining it as a Soul Ring, did you continue testing?"

Han Tao nodded again. "Firefly Light can restore the microscopic parts of the physique, but as for its effects on the meridians, I lacked experimental samples and couldn't test them."

"Hmm!" Ning Fengzhi's tone gradually softened.

"Release your Soul Skill on me now!"

Han Tao summoned his Martial Soul and released his First Soul Skill, Firefly Light.

A faint glow of Soul Power flowed toward Ning Fengzhi's body.

Seeing how weak the light was, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help frowning. He began sensing the effects produced in his meridians under the influence of the Soul Skill.

"For a Soul Master of 'my level,' your Soul Skill's effect is extremely weak. Perhaps only prolonged use would provide the slightest benefit."

"But it cannot be denied that your theory and discovery possess tremendous strategic significance."

Ning Fengzhi sat down, beckoned Manager Ning over, and instructed him.

"According to the rules established earlier, my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will not be stingy with rewards for those who make contributions. Teach him the Distraction Control Secret Method."

After speaking, Ning Fengzhi turned to look at Han Tao again.

"This is my sect's secret method. It must not be passed on to outsiders. Remember that. Remember it well."

That was only natural. Nearly all sect secret methods came with such a rule.

After Han Tao left, Ning Fengzhi burst into laughter inside the hall.

"This brat probably doesn't know the value of this information. I dismissed him with something I had originally intended to teach him anyway."

Ning Fengzhi sat carelessly in a chair, holding a copy of Keep Emotions Hidden. He looked utterly undignified.

"Father, what made you so happy?"

Suddenly, a little potato darted in from behind the door.

It was Ning Rongrong.

Seeing Ning Rongrong, Ning Fengzhi casually ruffled her hair until it became disheveled.

"I met an interesting brat today."

Then he murmured softly.

"Deep treatment can heal the meridians. With such a healing Soul Skill, the cost of developing a Meditation Method will be greatly reduced."

"Moreover, a Soul Master's cultivation will damage the meridians to some extent. The only difference is how severe the damage is, and all of it will affect their potential."

Manager Ning entered from outside. Seeing what Ning Fengzhi was doing, he quietly leaned toward his ear.

"Bone Douluo will be coming over soon. If he discovers that you messed up Rongrong's hair—"

The wide smile on Ning Fengzhi's face instantly vanished. He suspiciously glanced toward the door.

Then he quickly smoothed Rongrong's hair, but his technique was perhaps too clumsy, and her hair became even messier.

Ning Fengzhi grew somewhat nervous.

"Is it that new brat named Han Tao?"

Ning Rongrong blinked and asked.

"You're not that old yourself. How can you call someone else a brat?" Ning Fengzhi scolded with a laugh.

"Is he a support Soul Master?"

"Blue Silver Grass. I suppose that counts."

Suddenly, Ning Rongrong wore a mischievous expression and let out a sinister cackle.

"Father, since he's a support Soul Master, shouldn't we prepare a Supplementary Study Book List for him as an entrance gift from our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

Hearing Ning Rongrong's words, even the Guard at the door instinctively took half a step back.

"Little demoness, are you serious?"

Ning Fengzhi had guessed Ning Rongrong's intentions, but he did not object. He tacitly approved his daughter's proposal.

Under the instructions of the little demoness Ning Rongrong, the Hall Guardian Elder quickly compiled the Supplementary Study Book List and handed it to Han Tao.

"What is this?" Han Tao leaped to his feet.

"Oh, my god!"

Martial Soul Level Combat Strength Prediction was only one of the items on the Supplementary Study Book List. The list itself contained nearly impossibly demanding requirements for support-type Soul Masters.

Real-Time Buff

"Real-Time Buff doesn't mean mindlessly increasing a teammate's strength or agility. A support-type Soul Master's Soul Power is limited, so we need to maximize the buff's effects with the limited Soul Power available."

"For example, when an offense-type Soul Master launches an attack, the attack includes the attacking motion, the timing of the hit, and the recovery after the attack. The attacking motion provides a speed boost to ensure the hit lands, while the attack timing triggers the attack buff before impact to increase the damage."

"Defensive Soul Skills shouldn't remain permanently active on teammates. The most appropriate moment is just before a teammate is injured: apply a short-duration, high-strength defensive Soul Skill to reduce the damage taken and decrease Soul Power consumption."

"Real-Time Buff requires selecting different buff strategies according to the different types of Soul Masters."

"Crowd Control consists of three parts: perception, calculation, and control. Perception obtains data samples from the battlefield, calculation determines and selects the optimal strategy, and control represents the execution of that strategy. None of the three can be omitted."

"Calculation is the core of the core in support. By understanding the combat abilities of allies and enemies, their strength and agility distribution, combat habits, Soul Ring skills, and using the battlefield's data as samples and verified theories as formulas, we can perform extensive calculations and deduce the battle's direction, guiding the battle and expanding our advantage."

The first is "applying the corresponding status," and the second is "instructing teammates on what to do." Thus, the core of the control aspect is the transmission of information.
