Feng Yuan didn’t linger on the skill jades for too long; these things aren’t something that can be settled quickly. Compared to this, it’s better to see how to deal with Xiao Ji’s battles.
For convenience, Feng Yuan decided to take two days to let Xiao Ji perform all the ultimate moves it had mastered. Only this time did Feng Yuan realize that Xiao Ji had secretly learned so many ultimate moves.
If we disregard the special nature of Divine Beasts, just the ultimate moves mastered by Xiao Ji alone could easily fit into any team composition. There’s no choice; Feng Yuan didn’t expect Xiao Ji to have almost mastered ultimate moves in various areas.
However, perhaps due to its own positional limitations, Xiao Ji lacked the most core parts in three directions other than attack, such as the defensive Pseudo Invulnerability, the auxiliary Limit Breaking Amplification, and the interference Penetration Reduction — these are the core means in these directions.
The main goal of the defensive direction in battles is still to protect one’s attacker. In this aspect, there are many ultimate moves that transfer and endure damage, but Pseudo Invulnerability is the core of defense. Without it, solely relying on defense or stamina to withstand enemy attacks may not be the right choice.
The auxiliary direction mainly relies on various effect amplifications to enhance teammates. As for the previously summoned Shadow Turtle by Feng Yuan? That belongs to the defensive direction, so its effects concentrate on protecting teammates from harm.
Serious auxiliary direction’s most important ability is to enhance the various attributes and abilities of teammates. This is why Limit Breaking Amplification has become its core ability.
Simply put, Limit Breaking Amplification is an additional enhancement on top of the normal amplification limit, just like the aura under the Qi Realm Stance Defense of the Flame Chasing Furry Dog.
However, in terms of effect, the auxiliary direction’s amplification of Limit Breaking is higher. Without Limit Breaking Amplification, the ultimate moves in the auxiliary direction can easily overlap with the attacker’s own amplification effects, resulting in poor effects.
After all, attacker doesn’t just mean having offensive ultimate moves; many offensive ultimate moves also strengthen oneself while attacking.
The main goal of interference is to interfere with the enemy’s attacks and lower the opponent’s capabilities. Primarily, interfering with attacks itself isn’t its primary task.
This is mainly because means that can forcefully interfere with offensive ultimate moves are often hard to discern between friend and foe and can casually entangle one’s own teammates if not careful.
By comparison, Penetration Reduction works better for interference; simply put, Penetration Reduction means that debuffs and negative states possess corresponding penetration effects.
Normally, unless authority suppresses, penetration effects allow originally ineffective negative states to affect the target.
Like pure rock construct type Sub-spirit Beasts, these Spirit Beasts, lacking blood and flesh, are usually unaffected by Ghost Series targeted bodily decay of flesh creatures.
However, Penetration Reduction can irrationally ignore certain real-world rules, enabling it to work on pure rock construct type Spirit Beasts, and even to the absurd extent where bleeding effects can affect Lifeless Puppet Summons.
It’s necessary to know that Lifeless Puppet Summoning is considered non-living entities in research conclusions and various conventional ultimate moves, yet Penetration Reduction can forcefully impose originally ineffective effects on them.
These are abilities that Spirit Beasts in various directions must master to become main forces, yet Xiao Ji lacks core abilities other than the attacker role.
Of course, the core of the attacker, Penetration Attack, is present. After all, Xiao Ji itself is an attacking type Spirit Beast; such means of ignoring target defenses and even barriers surely are mastered.
Though it lacks core means, after Feng Yuan organized the information on all ultimate moves Xiao Ji has mastered, he still helped Xiao Ji compile a list of the primary ultimate moves it mainly uses in different directions.
Of course, that’s just a foundation; it’s not that no other ultimate moves can be used besides those listed by Feng Yuan. It’s just that relatively speaking, either there’s overlap in effect or it’s unnecessary. Under normal circumstances, Xiao Ji only needs to use the sorted ultimate moves by direction to sufficiently take on the responsibilities in those directions.
As for the Flame Chasing Furry Dog? Its ultimate moves are far fewer than Xiao Ji’s. Thanks to its innate characteristics, aside from conventional attack means, it also possesses self-enhancement and recovery means.
Compared to Xiao Ji, the means of the Flame Chasing Furry Dog practically only affect itself and cannot play roles in other combat directions like Xiao Ji.
This implies that if Xiao Ji cooperates in battle with the Flame Chasing Furry Dog, Xiao Ji can only choose auxiliary or interference roles. As for double attack? That’s possible, but if the opponent has defensive teammates like the previously summoned turtle and leopard by Feng Yuan, it becomes very troublesome.
After all, the greatest strength of defense is protection. To overcome them, apart from overwhelming them with far superior strength, one can only rely on auxiliary and interference to breach defenses.
No matter how many attacks don’t break defenses, they are useless. Hence, facing such an enemy, Xiao Ji will definitely need to change its positioning.
Especially after seeing that Xiao Ji’s ultimate moves include the Ghost Series’ Life Burning move, Feng Yuan was even more convinced that statistically categorizing Xiao Ji’s mastered ultimate moves was essential.
Life Burning and Burning Life may sound alike in name, but they are completely different direction ultimate moves.
Burning Life is a Ghost Series offensive ultimate move, directly targeting the soul and launching a Soul Fire Burn attack. Its power is variable. Using game data terms, this ultimate move inflicts continuous percentage damage, specifically targeting enemies with extremely high stamina.
In contrast, Life Burning is entirely different. This Ghost Series ultimate move applies a sustained soul-targeted burning effect to oneself or teammates. During the effect, the burned target’s attacks become soul attacks, also having the penetration spirit and soul shield effects.
Barriers and barrier-like ultimate moves can’t resist soul attacks; in a sense, this is akin to applying a shield-bypassing effect to teammates. Even the previously placed shield by the Shadow Turtle can’t stop soul attacks.
Additionally, this is a soul attack carrying penetration effects through both spirit and soul shields.
Apart from extending space to prevent attacks from reaching the target, the common defence against soul attacks is the spirit shield and soul shield, but facing Life Burning, these commonly used types of shields become completely ineffective.
If back then Xiao Ji had used Life Burning on the Flame Chasing Furry Dog, the turtle’s shield couldn’t have stood as their barrier.
As for the side effect of persistent blood draining? The Flame Chasing Furry Dog has its own healing ultimate moves, not needing Xiao Ji for treatment. Though Life Burning causes ongoing blood loss, it wouldn’t instantly cause the Flame Chasing Furry Dog to die.
Using healing moves between attacks is enough for the Flame Chasing Furry Dog to maintain healthy stamina and the Life Burning state.
However, Xiao Ji didn’t use this ultimate move at all during the previous battle. When prodded by Feng Yuan, Xiao Ji could only guiltily say it forgot about that ultimate move at the time.
After all, Xiao Ji has learned many and varied ultimate moves now, and the effects of Life Burning are not significant for Xiao Ji. The Divine Beast Technique Crimson Judgement suffice its needs, so it doesn’t require the shield-bypassing effect from Life Burning, thus even forgetting having learned it.
Aside from Life Burning, Feng Yuan found that many of Xiao Ji’s ultimate moves would exhibit miraculous effects in certain specific scenarios.
Take the Nether Dragon Realm Split for example, it’s not just capable of dealing spatial attribute damage; the truly useful part is its accompanying additional effects.
After casting Nether Dragon Realm Split, the space, domain, environment, and other effects within its ultimate move range would all get shattered, even crystal domains aren’t spared.
Compared to those ultimate moves that can only shatter crystal domains, Nether Dragon Realm Split is clearly much stronger at breaking various field effects.
However, the learning difficulty for this ultimate move is high because it’s a split Ghost Series move, only capable of being mastered by Death Series and Ghost Series Spirit Beasts, involving space in its attack, which requires the Spirit Beast to have a certain level of spatial ability, making qualifying Beasts few.
Perhaps that’s why Feng Yuan didn’t expect Xiao Ji to learn this ultimate move. Naturally, with its many restrictions, its effect is notable, outstandingly capable of clearing nearly all field environments currently available in one swoop.
Moreover, there are numerous ultimate moves similar to Nether Dragon Realm Split. Necessarily, Feng Yuan had to spend another day or two to explain to Xiao Ji in what scenarios those ultimate moves should be deployed.
