The helicopter flew through the clouds, the vast land below sweeping steadily backward.
Inside the cabin, An Xiaoran explained her new skill to Luo Fan in detail.
The new skill was called "Transformation"!
"Transformation..."
Luo Fan mulled over the seemingly simple yet meaningful word. Combined with An Xiaoran's description, the doubts in his mind gradually cleared.
During their earlier battle with the Weird Shadow, An Xiaoran's form had changed dramatically. Calling it a transformation was certainly fitting.
Of course, the most important part was not merely the change in appearance and form, but the skill's effects.
This was indeed a unique Rule-Type Skill, but it differed from the Rule-Type Skills Luo Fan had previously understood.
Rather than directly granting a fixed rule effect, it was more like a "rule amplifier" or a "rule grafting device."
Its core function was this: when An Xiaoran activated Transformation, she could select a skill she already possessed and temporarily "layer" an additional rule effect onto it.
This layering did not simply increase its power. It could fundamentally change the skill's form, how it worked, or its activation conditions.
An Xiaoran explained with an example. "For instance, during my first transformation, I could choose Healing to receive a rule effect. It might turn single-target healing into proportional recovery, or give the healing the ability to purify and dispel negative statuses. In short, I can only find out the exact rule effect after transforming."
"During my second transformation, I could choose Shield to receive a rule effect. It might let the shield reflect damage, or negate damage proportionally, like Brother Niu's Block!"
She then brought up the key to her last battle with the Weird Shadow. "Last time we fought that big black shadow, I chose Healing Cross to receive the additional rule when I transformed."
