Xin Fan ducked down slightly distracted by the lengthy system messages in his head. The saber brushed over his head as he spun around and cut the K=knight with his scythe. He slashed out with a simple Harvest Slash forcing the knight to vanish into the air.
”Don't move at all!”
Through his observation, the knight also followed the 5 step rule. However, he could use it at will after the prerequisites have been made. After 5 steps, he could appear whenever he wished resulting in effective ambushes. However that simply meant one thing. He could do nothing before the 5 step rule has been met. Xin Fan clasped his hands together and slowly entered his domain.

”Skills”
A window popped up with a new skill in the selection. It sat right under 'Harvest Slash II' with the name 'Harvest Slash II S'. Xin Fan tapped the skill to see 3 slots to fuse techniques. Obviously, the first slot was filled in with the base technique,'Harvest Slash'. Then next 2 slots were much different. The second slot allowed the 3 techniques that were able to fuse with 'Harvest Slash II':Frost Blade Body, Armament Hardening and Remote Force. Xin Fan tapped on armament hardening to fill out the second slot. However, what came in the last slot was different. There was a gold border around the selection and had one skill only; Unity of Soul 10%. Xin Fan selected the technique only to be prompted with another selection screen.
[ Select Auxiliary Soul ]
There was only one selection; Xin Kong. Xin Fan tapped it and allowed the flow of information to naturally enter his mind.
”Keep calm and all will be fine.”
Xin Kong looked at Xin Fan who had his eyes closed absorbing information. Naturally as a being part of Xin Fan, he too had started to gain information from the system.
”I'm off.”
-
Xin Fan opened his eyes to be relieved at the sight of no Abyss Knight. Honestly speaking, he never had a 100% certainty that the knight wouldn't suddenly appear and attack him. He felt quite fortunate that his hypothesis was right. Xin Fan slowly processed the newly gained information in his head.
'So there is a cool down.'
On top of the cooldown, there was another prerequisite to unleashing this new technique. Activating Unity of Soul. Xin Fan slowly started to chant the mantra that Xin Kong had taught him long ago as he started to walk forwards. In a couple of steps, he stopped moving. He had long passed the 5 step mark and he closed his eyes.
'True Emptiness is but a void'
