Chapter 202 Escaping the Realm of Life and Death
"These four skills are enough."

In fact, these were all skills that Ji Yi calculated and deduced to be suitable for Miss Cat.

Currently, Miss Cat's main fighting style relies on divine possession, summoning, and other deadly moves.

As for dealing with general threats, Miss Cat can easily resolve them by strengthening her body and equipment.

This reveals a clear weakness: Miss Cat's killer move relies too heavily on the highly random and unstable summoning of spirits, lacking a fixed and reliable offensive and defensive capability.

【Three Lights Soul-Slaying Scissors】is a soul attack that can ignore most defenses and is effective against soul forms.

The Five Sacred Mountains True Form Barrier is a comprehensive defensive and buffing ability.

【Lotus of Calamity Burns God】is a life-burning ultimate move, suitable for dealing with bosses stronger than oneself, and can also remove buffs.

【Heavenly Thunder】is a burst damage skill that consumes a lot of mana and can weaken the target's magic resistance.

Each of the four skills has its own strengths and weaknesses, and they complement each other, so it can be said that there are no shortcomings. Giving these four skills to any player who has allocated high points to spirit can transform them into a combat expert with the characteristics of a "war mage".

"And then there's my own."

Ji Yi didn't add any spiritual power, so most of her spells were unusable, but fortunately, not all of them were.

With a single, clenched fist, another skill card appeared out of thin air.

【Name: Hundred Bones Echoing Spring】

[Skill Card Attribute: Passive Skill, Permanently Mastered]

[Effect 1 "Blood Fountain": For every 1% of health lost, defense and stamina increase by 1%]

【Effect 2 "Skeleton Explosion": Active effect. When health drops below 5%, the user's bones explode, forcibly knocking back surrounding enemies and returning 20% ​​of the damage received to them, while restoring 15% health. Cooldown: 24 hours】

[Learning Requirements: A handsome guy with an 8 out of 10 appearance]

[Note: This is a body cultivation technique created by Ji Yi, a Nascent Soul cultivator. Due to the specialization of different skills, this technique is relatively superficial.]

"Now that I have attribute boosts, I should also have a finishing move."

【Name: Nightbreaker - Imitation】

[Skill Card Attribute: Active Skill, Permanently Mastered]

[Effect: At the cost of 95% of health, activates all eight gates of the user, locking onto a target unit to unleash an unparalleled attack]

[Learning Requirements: Height 180cm or above]

[Note: Created by Ji Yi, a Nascent Soul cultivator, based on his own experiences, this is a rather useless ultimate technique.]

Ji Yi: "."

What does "chicken rib" mean, and what makes something "chicken rib"?

Isn't it just a special move that's only suitable for use when you're at full health? If you really want to find a use case, there definitely is.

Putting everything else aside, it is powerful enough that if pushed to the brink, it could even lead to mutual destruction.

Most importantly, this "Bone Explosion," which perfectly complements the "Hundred Bones Echoing Spring," can form part of a finishing move.

"Then there are defensive skills."

【Name: Golden Body】

[Skill Card Attribute: Active Skill, Permanently Mastered]

[Effect: Consumes stamina to gain a significant defense boost for 1 second. Cooldown: 1 second]

[Learning Requirements: Height 18 cm or above]

[Note: Created by Ji Yi, a Nascent Soul cultivator, this is a low-level body cultivation technique with exceptional defensive capabilities.]

"Normally, it requires '罡气' (罡气, a type of internal energy) as a driving force, but due to the simplification of the other world in the hyperdimensional game, it only requires the consumption of stamina."

"The shortcomings have been largely addressed, and the time is almost up. Next, we should do something more cost-effective."

If he could, Ji Yi would like to casually make a magical artifact or something similar, but the principles of making skill cards and creating things out of thin air are different. It's not that he doesn't want to, but his level of skill is still not high enough.

"But it's not impossible to change existing items."

With the remaining few minutes, you might be able to upgrade a common-quality item to epic quality, but that's not the best option.

Take out the [Scrapped Mjolnir].

[Skill "Advanced Repair Technique" activated]

[Skill "Advanced Repair Technique" activated]

[Skill "High-Level" activated.]

For Ji Yi now, stamina is practically unlimited, and coincidentally, "Advanced Repair Technique" has no cooldown time.

then
After activating "Advanced Repair Technique" thousands of times in a short period of time.

The excellent-grade [Scrapped Thor's Hammer] was first repaired into the perfect-grade [Thor's Hammer without divine power].

Then, it transformed into the epic [Sealed Thor's Hammer].

at last.
【Name: Thor's Hammer (Unawakened)】

[Type: Weapon]

[Attack Power: Extremely High]

[Quality: Legend]

【Effect 1 "Summoning Thunder": By wielding Thor's hammer, one can locally alter the weather and unleash heavenly lightning attacks (without consuming stamina or spiritual energy)】

【Effect 2 "Lightning Strike": Each time this weapon hits an enemy, it will inflict lightning damage, with double damage against spirits, ghosts, and evil units】

[Effect 3 "Gathering Lightning": After activating "Summoning Lightning", you can choose to draw in and absorb heavenly lightning. The accumulated lightning power will double the power of the next "Lightning Strike"]

[Effect 4 "Choose a Master": Mjolnir will be bound to the user and cannot be transferred, and no one other than the user can pick up Mjolnir. When the weapon is released from the user's hand, Mjolnir will fly straight back to the user regardless of distance.]

[Note: Thor's weapon, once damaged beyond recognition, has been restored, but still lacks the materials to awaken it and become the complete Mjolnir.]

I thought I could repair it all the way to the Mythic level, but I didn't expect that even after the Legendary level was fully repaired, it was still Legendary level, lacking the so-called Awakening Materials.

[My lord, repairing Thor's hammer requires at least three legendary items. I think we don't need to think that far ahead right now.]

The Data Eye popped up a message.

Even though Ji Yi became a Nascent Soul cultivator and comprehended many truths, the Eye of Data still made it impossible for him to see through it or block it.

"Ah."

Ji Yi responded, glancing at the "little girl who loves to sing" beside her; the trial card was about to expire.

"Now that you've asked, let's get started."

He spoke softly to his clone.

Snapped--

With a single palm strike from the clone, the little girl was killed on the spot.

At the same time, outside the dream.

After the little girl let out her last piercing scream, Xie Jiayi seized the opportunity and struck instantly, killing her with a single blow.

[The S-rank ghost story "The Little Girl Who Loves to Sing" has been defeated]

[Dungeon quest rewards have been increased]

As the two system notification sounds ended, Ji Yi opened her eyes.

I checked my inventory immediately.

Great, the [Nascent Soul Stage Trial Card] is still there, and the seven skill cards were also brought out. More importantly, the legendary Thor's Hammer is also lying inside.

If epic-level equipment is the capital for ordinary players to contend with A-level supernatural tales, then legendary-level weapons are even more likely to pose a threat to S-level supernatural tales. In other words, Ji Yi's combat strength has improved significantly.

Of course, posing a threat to an S-class is only a theoretical possibility; if one's strength is insufficient, there's still no chance.

Just as Ji Yi had shifted her attention away from the inventory, a beautiful figure, like a black cat, appeared beside her in a flash.

"Cat! Ahhhhhhh!"

As soon as I opened my mouth, I felt dizzy and disoriented. When my eyes refocused, I was no longer in the storage room.

"The little girl's final screams attracted the attention of the other ghost stories. If we had been any slower, we probably would still have been doomed."

Miss Cat whispered as she held Ji Yi in her arms.

Her eyes glowed in the darkness, her golden vertical pupils constantly looking left and right, while her body moved around.

Upon seeing this, Ji Yi immediately activated the skill [Tuoka Technique], and soon a similar glowing vertical pupil appeared on Ji Yi's face, except that his was crimson.

With a clearer view, and with the combined effects of [God's Vision] and [Data Eye], Ji Yi saw the situation even more clearly.

"Let me do it."

Swah——

With a thud, Ji Yi instantly wrapped her arms around Miss Cat's long legs, and then her figure continued to shift.

"Take these four skill cards, they're specially for you."

With a thought, Ji Yi gave all the skill cards to Miss Cat.

The latter's expression quickly turned bewildered. He stared blankly at the skill card information, then, as if he didn't believe it, repeatedly looked up at the man who had picked him up.

Ji Yi knew that with Miss Cat's intelligence, she would definitely figure out what had happened quickly, so he didn't intend to explain further. His attention was now focused on escaping.

It must be said that the little girl's strength may not have been very strong, but she was quite good at disgusting people before she died, and at least four strange tales came from all directions.

No matter how fast Ji Yi was, it was difficult for her to break through the encirclement of the strange tales.

A minute later, Ji Yi noticed out of the corner of her eye that Miss Cat's expression had returned to normal, and began to explain:
"The little girl is related to Xiao Hong from Ghost Town. We'll discuss the details once we're out of danger."

After saying that, he quickened his pace and suddenly burst into a burst of speed, his whole body making a roaring sound.

There is actually an escape paradox here.

If Ji Yi wants to escape the strange tales she's been drawn into, she must escape the encirclement quickly enough before her escape route is completely blocked.

However, according to the most basic laws of physics, when Ji Yi is at full speed, the wind resistance is extremely high, and the resulting noise is more likely to attract the attention of ghost stories.

This situation may seem like a dilemma, but a little thought reveals that there is no other choice.

Rather than waiting to die in place, hoping the ghost stories won't find them, they might as well take a gamble. At least if they break out, the number of ghost stories chasing them won't be that many.

Therefore, Ji Yi went all out, running at full speed, like a cannonball, heading vertically in one direction.

He was incredibly fast, covering several kilometers in just a few breaths.

However, due to the significant commotion, it inevitably attracted the attention of some ghost stories.

Their movements were quieter, but their speed was in no way inferior to Ji Yi's.

The cat in her arms clearly realized the seriousness of the problem. She first took out four skill cards, learned them all, and equipped them.

Then, the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons was launched.

Hundreds of evil spirits appeared out of thin air along the road and scattered in all directions.

Ji Yi simply shook his head upon seeing this:
"This approach won't be very effective. There are still three S-class ghosts chasing us, and the imps you summoned won't attract them."

With that, Ji Yi had no choice but to maintain her speed while simultaneously activating her full God's Vision to search for any possible chance of survival ahead.

"Ah! Stop scrubbing! Ah! Can we not use steel wool?"

Screams echoed from a small, opaque room to the side.

Ji Yi had no time to stop and investigate. Since the room couldn't be seen through, it could only mean it was even more dangerous.

As he sped past, the screams of the man whose fate was unknown were quickly left behind.

"Is there no way to escape?" Miss Cat looked at Ji Yi's face. "Perhaps I'll stay behind and cover our retreat."

"Pah! You're not even good enough to fill their teeth. Don't even think about resisting, I'm trying to figure something out."

"Is it going to work? Now that you're running around so loudly, you'll only attract more and more strange tales. There must be more than three of them chasing us now, right?"

Miss Cat's words left Ji Yi speechless.

Now, it seems we've hit a dead end again.

If you stop, you will definitely be discovered and killed by the ghost stories, but once you start moving, you will continuously attract the attention of new ghost stories.

Suddenly, Ji Yi seemed to see something, and her eyes lit up.

"Don't worry."

Ji Yi chuckled.

"It seems that even in despair there is hope. Let's just give it a shot."

After saying that, Ji Yi twisted her foot and adjusted her direction, rushing straight away.

His crimson eyes were fixed on a spot, and Miss Cat followed suit, her golden vertical pupils shrinking in surprise.

It was a colorless, gray world, probably the realm of some kind of ghost story.

Is Ji Yi about to barge into the territory of a supernatural tale? What's the difference between that and suicide?
But now we can only trust Ji Yi.

Whoosh—Buzz!

As Ji Yi stepped into the gray-white world, the howling wind, the buzzing, and the strange cries of the ghost stories all disappeared abruptly.

'This is? ’

Miss Cat opened her mouth, but could not make a sound.

【Name: The Realm of Deathly Silence】

[Danger Level: Extremely Dangerous]

[Description: This is the realm of the S++-level ghost story "Silence." Sound is killed here, and survival is impossible.]

The introduction to Data Eye is brief, lacks sufficient information, and is even somewhat confusing.

After all, everyone knows that sound is produced by the vibration of objects. If the so-called "sound-killing" ability in this field means making everything unable to vibrate, then it directly violates thermodynamics and the basic physical rules would collapse. Obviously, it cannot be this kind of ability.

However, simply causing all living beings to lose their hearing seems to achieve the effect of deafness, but that's too simplistic and presumptuous.

Is this some kind of conceptual ability? The object still vibrates, but the sound waves are distorted by some kind of supernatural power, making them imperceptible?
However, according to the data analysis, even an SS-level expert would be unable to detect the sound.

In this absolutely silent world, no matter how Ji Yi escapes, she won't attract the attention of other strange tales.

And now, all he can hide from is the ghost story of "Silence".

But since they were on the other side's territory, Ji Yi didn't believe that "Silence" wouldn't discover them.

This is the only option left.

Rather than being besieged by those strange tales outside, it's better to come here and try your luck.

As Ji Yi rushed into the depths of the desolate realm.

Those who had originally participated in the pursuit of the ghost stories all seemed to have lost interest and scattered.

One of the seemingly sickly old men was making strange tales, repeatedly muttering the same phrase as he walked:

"Another one. Another fool."
