Trap Science, Birdsong Science, Combat Psychology, Rituals...

Various theories and fields of knowledge flashed through Lu Cang’s mind.

’I should first calculate her maximum attack range...’

’Speaking of which, isn’t this distance a bit too far?’

All he could see was a tiny black dot. If not for his high Spirituality, powerful vision, and the inherent computational ability of a Decryption Scholar, he probably wouldn’t have even been able to calculate the distance between them.

’550 kilometers.’

She was even farther away now.

It was about the distance from Qingdao to Shanghai.

In his previous life, Lu Cang was very familiar with those two cities and happened to know the distance between them.

’No wonder no one has been able to beat her until now.’

If an opponent ran hundreds of kilometers away just three seconds into a match, who could possibly hit them? And on top of that, Lu Luwei’s attack power was nothing to scoff at.

No, "nothing to scoff at" wasn’t the right way to put it. It was downright terrifying.

Even from such a great distance,

Lu Cang could still feel that without the warnings from his Final Sense, he would never have noticed the many killing moves Lu Luwei had hidden within the endless rain of arrows.

’It’s very likely I’d suffer a huge loss if I’m not careful.’

’I might not die, but I would definitely expose my physical strength.’

’My physical strength, comparable to a Warrior’s, is my trump card.’

’But... she seems to have stopped moving.’

’Does that mean 550 kilometers is the limit of her current attack range?’

’No, perhaps it’s the limit of her *optimal* attack range... because different Skills have different ranges.’

’In that case...’

Source Body·Instant White Flash

WHOOSH! Lu Cang immediately fled in the opposite direction.

RUMBLE—

At the same time, rifts tore open in Space. Hundreds of colorful rifts appeared... and a total of three hundred forty Nation Destruction Level Void Summoned Creatures were summoned.

Source·Awakened Void

Lu Cang had consumed a total of four Source!

Rows of Void Creatures appeared, a vast army of the Void. The Void Pillar Guardians, in particular, formed ranks like a city wall, shielding Lu Cang’s body.

Immediately after,

a thick fog rose and shadows fell, shrouding one Lu Cang Illusion after another in the mist.

’Nation Destruction Level Demons?’

’Tier Four?’

’So many?’

Lu Luwei was stunned for a moment when she saw these Summoned Creatures.

Lu Luwei had watched the previous matches. There was a Summoner fighting a Turtle Shell Warrior.

At his peak, that Summoner had only managed to summon three Tier Four King Level creatures, two Lord Level creatures, and a few grunts.

Combined with the Commander Profession,

with careful coordination, their combat power was equivalent to that of a single Nation Destruction Level Demon.

But...

’A Level 3 Mage...’

’Interesting.’

’Is this your Root Magic?’

Lu Luwei’s Perception locked onto the mist, piercing through the layers of Illusions to find the real Lu Cang, who was rapidly retreating within it...

With Lu Cang also pulling back, the distance between them widened once more.

Indeed, it was just as Lu Cang had thought.

Her optimal attack range was 550 kilometers, and her maximum range was one thousand kilometers. But at 1,000 kilometers, she could no longer use most of her Bow Skills.

Arrow Control·Celestial Traveling Feathers (Tier Four, Level 40)

Lu Luwei shot an arrow into the sky!

Immediately after, that single Arrow split again and again in the sky. Soon, like countless tadpoles hovering in the air, it had multiplied into hundreds of thousands of arrows!

Bow Skill·Tracking Arrow (Tier Four, Level 50)

Lu Luwei drew her bow again.

Bow Skill·Burst Shot

BOOM!

Lu Luwei released the bowstring!

The hundreds of thousands of arrows that had been circling in the sky instantly arrived behind Lu Cang.

’How annoying...’

Lu Cang spun around and retaliated!

He swung his Magic Staff violently!

Magic blasted out like an overwhelming tide, piercing and destroying countless Arrows!

Magic and Arrows collided!

Dozens of the Void Summoned Creatures blocking his front had already been lost.

’She’s clearly a Level 4 Archer.’

’Yet she has the power to instantly kill Same Tier Nation Destruction Level Demons...’

’As expected of someone who cleared the hundredth floor of the War God Tower.’

WHOOSH!

However, Lu Cang glanced out of the corner of his eye at the tiny, almost invisible black dot on the horizon.

’She’s chasing me.’

’This means my guess was right.’

’A distance of 550 kilometers is her limit... or rather, her most comfortable attack range.’

FWOOSH!

An even more brilliant, colorful light burst forth!

Lu Cang stomped his foot on the ground.

A brown speck of light, the exact same color as the soil, followed the stomp of Lu Cang’s Boots and merged deep into the earth.

’Next, I have to figure out how to break that escape Skill of hers.’

’She can even dodge Curse and Locking Magic.’

’Using a Skill should always come with some kind of cost...’

’The cost of the Death Exchange Technique is a carefully prepared corpse with a soul of at least the same Spirituality as my own.’

To defy the laws of the world and waive such a huge cost, you’d need something like a Divine Talent, at the very least.

Lu Cang refused to believe that her escape Skill had no restrictions or costs whatsoever.

His Intuition gave him a vague judgment.

’She probably can’t escape a direct physical hold.’

’Her pursuit Speed isn’t that fast, though.’

Lu Cang felt her attacks on him slowing down.

’Fleeing is faster than chasing...’

’In other words, when she was escaping, did she move by leveraging my attacks?’

’No, it’s also possible she used some kind of mobility-enhancing Skill while escaping that she isn’t using while chasing...’

’This at least means the Skill has limitations and can’t be used freely.’

Lu Cang’s mind raced.

’Since her pursuit Speed isn’t fast enough, I’ll just pick up my pace.’
