First mentioned in chapter 632 when Shi Feng exhibited this combat technique as he was evaluating Gray Eagle, one of Phoenix Rain's hidden experts.
Description[]
Treating Retreat as an Advance is a Basic Combat Technique. When a player uses this technique, it gives off an illusion that they were rushing forward when in reality they were retreating. In actual combat, it would cause their opponent to experience the feeling that they were fighting a ghost as they will not be able to make contact despite the feeling that they had hit. This technique mentally exhausts the opponent.
