Master of Kaidan
Chapter 311 Yang’s Strategy

Chapter 311: Chapter 311 Yang’s Strategy

"The tales of ’Hundred Tales’ really are never-ending..." Feng Xue, whose part of consciousness resided in the Poisonous Insect Body at the Yayuka residence, sighed lightly as he watched the kaidan on the ceiling. He had thought that the surveillance at the Yayuka residence would stop after the Heavenly Dog Council’s defeat, but instead, they seemed willing to keep it up indefinitely rather than allowing him to return.

Of course, Feng Xue had also timed his option to leave the Eastern Country using the ’Descent’ rule when the lockdown ended, and then take a different door back to Infinite City. Even so, Hundred Tales still chose to do this, with the real purpose nothing other than to delay Feng Xue’s growth.

After all, compared to the countless worlds linked by Babylon Tower, the real world is not the most suitable place for kaidan to thrive, and in the villas below the tenth floor of Babylon Tower, each room can maintain only "one" door.

In other words, if this door cannot be completely closed, no new doors can be opened.

However, as the one who opens the door, he must complete one entrance and exit for the door to be considered to have fulfilled its purpose.

This means, if Feng Xue chooses to take another door back, then this door here would remain open, preventing him from opening new doors within the Babylon Tower, ultimately forcing him to develop only in the real world.

It was late January at the time, less than half a year from the Midsummer Night Festival. In other words, within half a year, Hundred Tales could replenish their manpower for the Heavenly Dog Council through rituals, meanwhile creating a large number of kaidan with abilities to counter Masked Riders.

Only at this moment did Feng Xue finally understand what Hundred Tales relied on to monopolize the many resources of both Infinite City and the real world. Compared to any first-mover or regional advantages, this ability to "strategically construct kaidan" was likely the main factor.

In the world of kaidan, it’s critical to have surprise attacks against Immortals, and to fight the Hundred Tales, which can create targeted kaidan, if one can’t defeat them within a year’s time, the following year one would face kaidan tailored to counter oneself from every angle.

Even if such kaidan were not powerful in their own right, their Companion Phantom Objects could be given to veteran kaidan to use. Mass-produced combat capabilities are average, but what if he lends the dinosaur’s nemesis to Omega Beast?

However, nothing is perfect, and this open strategy does have flaws.

For example, tower climbing.

Yes, once one breaks through the tenth floor, a second door can be opened, thus turning Hundred Tales’s blockade into a joke. Just go to Otherworld to level up with a new combat type kaidan, then come back to deal with Hundred Tales.

Of course, Hundred Tales has likely also considered this, but after all, climbing the tower is very risky. If one breaks through the eleventh floor, one loses the right to challenge the rooms below the tenth floor. If one can’t defeat the kaidan above the tenth floor and loses one’s original house, growth in power stops. If one can’t obtain a door to the real world, one might then face the risk of continuously weakening, much like old Li.

As for Feng Xue returning to Infinite City and not coming out again, that’s no problem at all, or rather, it’s the optimal solution for Hundred Tales. For an organization like Hundred Tales that refreshes annually, the scary thing is a foe who can grow rapidly. If Feng Xue is blocked in Infinite City, it’s good enough if he doesn’t regress, with little chance to advance further.

By then, they could regularly send people to challenge Feng Xue’s room, both shrinking his survival area and also investigating whether he stays within, and once they find he’s not in Babylon Tower, Hundred Tales could use the ’Transformation Device’ ability to trap him.

Having realized all this, Feng Xue suddenly felt the troublesome nature of an organization like Hundred Tales.

But Hundred Tales overlooked one issue—

Feng Xue doesn’t need to spread kaidan in order to progress.

Infinite City isn’t without kaidan that manufacture things. However, such kaidan usually belong to just one kind and lack distinction, with Fine Level being rarely produced. But Feng Xue is different; his Golden Finger can create a diverse range of objects. Pushed to the brink, it wouldn’t be bad for him to retreat to the garbage mountain and emerge again after ten or eight years.

Of course, that would only be a last resort. After all, Kaidan still values maintaining its presence. Without popping up occasionally, if the officials can’t contact him for an extended period, who knows if his influence might slowly diminish? In the information age of the real world, after three to five years, who would still remember who Mo Ju is?

Feng Xue made up her mind after figuring out the key points in her head.

Since it’s now certain that this ten-story building is indefinitely locked by the door of the real world, she might as well act as if it doesn’t exist!

He who hesitates is lost. Feng Xue was never one to be indecisive. Once her mind was made up, she no longer hesitated. On one hand, she maintained the Eastern Country’s big bike ride, distributing Masked Rider transformation devices everywhere, striving to increase the number of Masked Riders on the streets, thereby giving Hundred Tales a tough time. Meanwhile, she kept refreshing the Descent rules, waiting for the moment Hundred Tales would unlock the lockdown...

...

"Only maintained it for three days this time? Is it because of excessive consumption, or do you think I won’t be attempting to breach again soon?"

Feeling the Current World Rules relax, Feng Xue immediately stopped her motorcycle. Although she was actually wearing two sets of armor, she still appeared as a "Hermit," dressed with a camera hung around her neck and a guitar case strapped to her back.

However, when selecting the Current World Rules, she felt a bit embarrassed because she couldn’t seem to find the right ones.

The rule of "Kung Fu Dream," which was originally the most suitable for Descent and as plentiful as stars in the sky, was now surprisingly empty. On the rare occasion that one or two appeared, they were in some obscure place with a name she had never heard of—what’s worse, they were abroad.

With no other choice, she simply took out her phone and dialed a number...

...

"Although cross-training in martial arts has generally become widespread, there are still distinctions in terms of realm. Thus, we must not start with the idea that the target won’t get injured. We must treat the opponent as if they are fragile..."

"Jianghu laughs~~ at grievances and disputes~~ in the clashing of people~~ ha..."

During the class, the teacher was explaining the new era’s hostage rescue plans when an unexpected ringtone suddenly filled the entire classroom.

In an instant, not just the serious teacher, but all eyes in the large classroom simultaneously turned toward the source of the ringing. There was a look of admiration in their gaze.

To dare to have a phone ringtone go off in a professional class, just who from where is so bold—or rather, a real big shot!

Chen Xiyao awkwardly held her phone but didn’t immediately hang up. Her number had long been changed, and there was only one person who would call this number now.

"Teacher!"

Chen Xiyao gave a covert signal, and the professor, who was known for his sternness even at a military-like university, surprisingly revealed a kind expression, saying:

"It’s Xiao Chen’s phone, stop dawdling and go answer it."

"Oh, got it!" Amidst the shocked looks of countless classmates, Chen Xiyao harnessed her qinggong, lightly touching her chair to leap over seven or eight rows of seats and gracefully landed at the doorway. With a "click," the classroom door closed behind her. The professor’s originally gentle expression immediately turned stern as he coughed twice and then continued:

"Alright, let’s continue..."
