"This is impossible..."

Seeing Lin Ye still jumping around energetically in front of her, Gao Lanlan was utterly at a loss, unsure of what was happening.

She knew that there was a high possibility that Lin Ye possessed the 'Space Manipulation' skill.

After all, Lin Ye was the last person to see Sikong Ming, so receiving the skill's inheritance from him wasn't too surprising.

However, the problem was that even if Lin Ye had this skill, he definitely shouldn't have been able to activate its effects.

Someone without a Spatial Talent, belonging to a profession far removed from a Space Mage, shouldn't be able to activate a space-exclusive skill's effects.

This wasn't even about possibility; theoretically, this shouldn't happen.

But Gao Lanlan's moment of distraction gave Lin Ye a chance to retaliate.

"Attack!"

He quickly issued the attack order. Although just absorbing one more hit from the Dimension Slash, Lin Ye could learn the skill.

But after two Dimension Slashes failed to land, it was unclear if Gao Lanlan would continue using that skill against him.

Of course, if she switched to another skill, Lin Ye wouldn't mind.

After all, that might just allow him to pick up another skill.

At his command, Lin Ye's ranged units launched attacks at the still-distracted Gao Lanlan.

In her daze, Gao Lanlan finally reacted, but it was too late. A volley of arrows took nearly half of her Life Value.

The next moment, she vanished in a flash, and a spherical transparent barrier appeared around her.

The arrows in the sky deviated at various angles due to the barrier.

Arrows that would have otherwise hit Gao Lanlan twisted bizarrely away, becoming stray arrows.

This skill made Lin Ye's eyes light up!

['Space Manipulation' effect activated, you have learned the skill 'Twisted Barrier'!]

A message appeared before Lin Ye's eyes.

Twisted Barrier!

This was clearly a new space-related skill that Lin Ye wasn't aware of before!

Judging from its previous performance, this skill seemed to alter the trajectory of some ranged attacks, allowing the user to avoid being bombarded from afar.

This allowed Lin Ye to snatch up a rather practical skill.

"It seems I shouldn't rush to defeat her so quickly. I should exploit this and see if I can pick up a few more skills."

Lin Ye swiftly made his decision.

Honestly, Space Skills were much harder to obtain than those of other professions.

Even in the Alliance's Skill Divine Hall, space-related skill books weren't recorded. This unique profession made acquiring skill books significantly tougher than for others.

Given this easy way of acquiring skills, Lin Ye naturally couldn't let the opportunity slip by.

Seeing that the ranged troops were ineffective, Lin Ye dashed towards Gao Lanlan himself.

Empowered by his strong Attributes, Lin Ye's speed was unbelievable.

In just a few breaths, he was within two meters of Gao Lanlan.

Despite being at a higher Level than Lin Ye, Gao Lanlan felt an inexplicable fear as he charged toward her.

It was as if some ancient beast was rushing towards her.

Even though her Level was twenty ranks higher than Lin Ye, instinctively, she wanted to retreat.

At that moment, Lin Ye closed in.

According to the game rules, as long as Lin Ye didn't use active skills or attack, he wouldn't be violating the rules.

For now, Lin Ye hadn't made any attacking moves, making it impossible to rule him in violation.

In that instant, Lin Ye touched the barrier surrounding Zhou Lanlan.

Instantly, the barrier collapsed and melted away.

Lin Ye narrowed his eyes, as expected.

Using the passive attribute of 'Space Manipulation', he could dismantle Gao Lanlan's barrier just by getting close.

The next moment, Lin Ye reached out to grab Gao Lanlan.

Seeing her barrier disappear inexplicably, and Lin Ye reaching for her, Gao Lanlan's heart skipped a beat.

"Stay away from me!"

She cried out, and in a flash, she disappeared from Lin Ye's sight.

['Space Manipulation' effect activated, you have gained the skill 'Flashing'!]

Lin Ye caught nothing but air, but he saw a prompt indicating he'd acquired a new skill.

Gaining two new skills in succession, Lin Ye was thoroughly delighted.

He quickly turned around to see Gao Lanlan about ten meters away, staring at him with wide, terrified eyes.

Lin Ye squinted slightly.

It seemed the effect of the skill Flashing was similar to Lin Ye's 'Flame of Life'.

However, the range of Flashing seemed capped at about ten meters.

Otherwise, given Gao Lanlan's fear, she would've flashed further to distance herself from Lin Ye.

But that's no problem; with the 'Wide Area Spellcasting' effect, Lin Ye could extend Flashing's range to a hundred meters!

This truly maximizes both practical usage and combat effectiveness.

Of course, for long-range teleportation, 'Space Movement' would still be more suitable.

After all, the teleportation range of Space Movement dwarfs that of Flashing a hundredfold.

...

From a distance, seeing Gao Lanlan's performance, Gongsun could only chuckle.

"I prepared a personal lesson for you, and this is the result?"

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he was speechless.

He had given Gao Lanlan a 100% chance to hit Lin Ye, but the result was disappointing.

To create this rule, he sacrificed thirty units of his essence!

Even retrieving the Rule Coin wouldn't compensate for the loss.

"Forget it, never mind..."

Gongsun resigned himself to the situation, not expecting Gao Lanlan to be so inadequate, getting toyed with by Lin Ye like a dog.

Now, he decided to just enjoy the spectacle.

However, he had unknowingly become a part of the spectacle himself.

Originally fond of watching others' misfortune, Gongsun likely didn't anticipate becoming a source of amusement for others one day…

After all, Lin Ye was certainly aware that Gongsun was the one behind all the tricks.

What he thought was a great setup turned out to be a big joke.

It was hard for Lin Ye not to treat him as a laughingstock.
