Fang Zhou said, "Instructor Xinyan, I have just thoroughly read the Skill Deduction concept provided by Xiaochan. From what she shared, I can clearly feel that you've offered her many valuable suggestions. Her idea of merging the Skeleton Arrow Rain and Mental Shock skills is very creative. Simplifying them is indeed quite feasible. Instructor Xinyan, your experience is incredibly rich and your vision is unique. Do you have any additional insights to offer?"

Hearing Fang Zhou speak so calmly before her, Su Xinyan secretly gritted her teeth. She felt a knot of frustration in her chest. This little apprentice… after taking such a huge advantage of me just now, how can he talk about Skill Deduction as if nothing ever happened? As if everything that occurred before never even existed. This attitude made her feel both angry and helpless, but it also had a subtle effect on her.

However, Su Xinyan quickly set aside her distracting thoughts, deciding not to dwell on what had happened. Instead, she fully immersed herself in the topic of skill fusion.

"Fang Zhou," Su Xinyan began, "you're right. The idea Xiaochan proposed this time is indeed quite novel. If we can successfully implement it, it will not only improve our combat efficiency but also give us more tactical options against our enemies. I noticed she mentioned in her analysis that Skeleton Arrow Rain could serve as a basic attack method, while Mental Shock could be used for enhancement or to interrupt enemy casting. However, we need to consider that these two skills have different casting mechanisms and their energy sources are also distinct."

Su Xinyan paused, contemplating her next words.

"I believe the first problem we need to solve in the skill fusion process is energy compatibility. Skeleton Arrow Rain mainly relies on Undead Energy, while Mental Shock requires substantial Spiritual Power to support it. If we can find a way for the two energies to coexist harmoniously and inter-convert within the caster's body, we can greatly enhance the skill's power."

She continued, "Moreover, we also need to consider the skill's cooldown and consumption. While Skeleton Arrow Rain has a wide area of effect, its cooldown is relatively long. In contrast, Mental Shock has a short cooldown, but it consumes a large amount of Spiritual Power. If we're going to merge them into a single skill, we must find a balance. We need to ensure the skill is practical while also making sure the caster doesn't endanger themselves through overuse."

As the discussion deepened, Su Xinyan found herself completely absorbed in the joy of skill design, the previous awkwardness completely pushed to the back of her mind. She raised her head, her gaze passing through the Skill Deduction projection floating in mid-air.

"At the time, I simply mentioned our idea to Bai Xiaochan and shared some inspirations and deduction concepts I'd casually noted down while researching the Mental Shock skill," Su Xinyan explained. "But the main work was completed by Bai Xiaochan herself."

Then, she turned to Fang Zhou and began to delve into a specific detail of the skill's design.

"However, there are still some debatable points in these deductions," she said, pointing to a part of the diagram. "For example, this part here—regarding how to transform Spiritual Power into the form of an arrow. Bai Xiaochan's initial idea was to borrow the Spiritual Guardian's Heart Arrow skill to achieve this, but I think that approach has its limitations. After all, the effect we're pursuing doesn't necessarily have to be confined to an arrow; the key is to have strong penetration and impact. Therefore, I believe the Storm Mage's Gale Strike skill might offer more valuable insight."

Fang Zhou nodded repeatedly in agreement as he listened intently to Instructor Su Xinyan's explanation. As a seasoned Golden Tier Great Undead Mage, Su Xinyan naturally possessed a profound and unique understanding of professional skills. The points she had just made were as substantial as her figure.

Once Instructor Su Xinyan got into her element, she became increasingly animated. She proceeded to point out numerous potential directions for improvement, supplementing and correcting the Skill Deduction concept that Fang Zhou had roughly formed, making the entire design more rational and complete.

"You see," Su Xinyan said, "if we compare the power of Mental Shock to a type of formless energy, then its manifestation can be incredibly varied. Although the Heart Arrow skill can effectively concentrate Spiritual Power for an attack, its range is relatively small and easy to predict. In contrast, the Gale Strike skill can form a powerful Spirit Storm. It not only has good coverage but can also adjust its angle of attack as the target moves. This undoubtedly increases the skill's flexibility and unpredictability."

As she spoke, Su Xinyan traced a line in the air with her finger and added, "More importantly, another advantage of the Gale Strike skill is its continuity. It can not only unleash a significant amount of force at once but can also apply continuous pressure, which is very effective for suppressing an enemy's actions. Furthermore, because its energy spreads in the form of a wave, we can use this wave-like property in actual combat to interfere with an enemy's perception and judgment."

Fang Zhou listened, fascinated. When Su Xinyan had finished presenting her views, he raised his hand slightly and said, "Instructor Xinyan, thanks to your guidance, I am now much more confident about this attempt."
