章 5: Luke Vs. Wu Xiaohui!
Chapter 5 - Luke Vs. Wu Xiaohui!
In the main god space, more detailed categories exist under the strength level, encompassing six attributes: durability, attack, defense, agility, skill, and mystery.
Durability is a blend of physical strength, blood volume, physical fitness, and self-healing capability.
Attack comprises strength, damage, lethality, and destructive power.
Defense is a combination of shield, armor, protection, physical defense, energy defense, and similar elements.
Agility involves reaction speed, attack speed, movement speed, and related factors.
Skill and mystery are special attributes among the six.
Skill encompasses knowledge and experience, including all elements related to technique and skills.
Mystery is the synthesis of all mysterious powers.
Under normal circumstances, C level implies that at least half of the six-dimensional attributes, or at least three attributes, are at C level.
Take Fan Xinglu's disciples as an example.
At this stage, Zhao Hufeng's attributes are: Durability D, Attack C, Defense C, Agility C, Skill D, Mystery C, and the overall evaluation is C.
Cecily Wang's attributes are: Durability D, Attack C, Defense C, Agility D, Skill C, Mystery C, and the overall evaluation is C.
Wu Xiaohui's attributes are: Durability C, Attack C, Defense C, Agility C, Skills C+, Mystery C+, and the overall evaluation is C.
From this, we see the considerable power of Wu Xiaohui. As Luke mentioned earlier, even if both are at the C level, there exists a significant strength gap. Wu Xiaohui's offensive and defensive attributes are all at the C level, but their effects are markedly different.
Wu Xiaohui's attributes are evidently much stronger than Zhao Hufeng and Cecily.
However, despite someone as formidable as Wu Xiaohui, the main god space still categorizes him as C level, not C+ level.
With the added bonus of Prana, Luke's defensive shortcomings have been significantly compensated for.
Luke's attributes are: Durability D, Attack C, Defense C, Agility C+, Skill B, Mystery B+, and the overall evaluation is C+.
Yes, B level skills and B+ level mystery.
The synergy of these two attributes is Luke's trump card.
Even without using the B+ level mystery, relying solely on the advantages brought by B level skills, Luke believes he can stand against Wu Xiaohui.
Nonetheless, Luke is still eagerly anticipating a battle against a formidable opponent like Wu Xiaohui, especially with the prospect of experiencing his 'Seisenjutsu.'
As a swordsman, Luke is intrigued by any opportunity that can further enhance his swordsmanship.
At this moment, the duel begins!
...
Bang, bang, bang — the sound of the spear/stick hitting the ground continues.
Luke and Wu Xiaohui have been engaged in several rounds of combat.
In contrast to yesterday's battle between Luke and Fan Xinglu, this time Wu Xiaohui continues to attack while Luke expertly dodges.
"Uh, it looks like Senior Brother Wu Xiaohui hasn't landed a hit on Junior Brother Luke at all!" Cecily remarks in surprise, noting the unexpected turn of events.
Zhao Hufeng, specializing in physical arts, has a clearer view of the field than Cecily.
With a solemn expression, he adds, "It's a body technique, a method to move as smoothly as water. Junior Brother Luke also has a technique to instantaneously increase his speed. The combination of these two makes Senior Brother Wu Xiaohui helpless against his speed."
"Observing Junior Brother Luke, I believe these are the cores of two distinct swordsmanships perfectly integrated into his own."
"No, this is not merely swordsmanship," Fan Xinglu interjects, joining the discussion with evident interest.
"Rather than saying that Luke is using swordsmanship, it's better to say he's utilizing two techniques that were once swordsmanship."
"That kind of unreasonable agility and instantaneous explosive power cannot be achieved by ordinary 'swordsmanship.'"
As Fan Xinglu points out, the Shigure-Soen-Ryu and Hiten-Mitsurugi-Ryu used by Luke are vastly different from their original forms. The skills learned in the main god space have been optimized and sublimated, evolving into techniques that continue to grow stronger with the agent's ongoing study.
Especially Hiten-Mitsurugi-Ryu — its strength far surpasses the original creator.
"But, it's almost there," Fan Xinglu notes, observing the situation with growing interest.
"Are you planning to hide like this forever?" Wu Xiaohui speaks up for the first time.
Hearing this, Luke raises his eyebrows, realizing something.
"Urgent like a law, edict!"
Wu Xiaohui forms a seal with one hand, and hidden talismans on the ground appear one by one, forming a barrier around them.
"I see, then I won't be able to rely on speed to dodge."
Examining the barriers around him, Luke stops.
Though trapped, it doesn't mean Wu Xiaohui has won.
"After all, Master asked me to use my full strength. It wouldn't be right if I didn't take this duel more seriously. Besides, if I want to experience more features of Seisenjutsu, I'll have plenty of opportunities in the future."
Luke slowly gets into his stance, hand on 'Soul Nourishing.'
Following Luke's movements, a sharp aura suddenly surges in all directions.
"Anyway, let's try cutting first."
Hiten-Mitsurugi-ryu - Ogi - Amakakeru Ryū no Hirameki!
Swish —!
Just as Wu Xiaohui feels Luke's momentum and prepares to defend himself, Luke disappears.
"What?!" Wu Xiaohui is surprised, reacting quickly to defend himself.
However...
Boom —!
The reverse-blade sword, Soul Nourishing, hits Wu Xiaohui's body heavily.
Unable to react, Luke's attack seems to have crossed time and space, appearing directly on Wu Xiaohui's body.
In the last second before Wu Xiaohui loses consciousness, the thought that lingers is, "What happened just now?"
The same thought occurs in the minds of Zhao Hufeng and Cecily.
Unable to act, an abyss-like momentum envelops the entire square. This sudden momentum is the will to fight!
Everyone watches silently as Fan Xinglu approaches Wu Xiaohui.
Carefully examining Wu Xiaohui's injuries, she finally says, "Hey, this shouldn't be your full strength, right?"
Without waiting for Luke to answer, Fan Xinglu throws a healing talisman to the unconscious Wu Xiaohui, then turns and walks toward Luke.
"Use your full strength, use everything you have. No matter how challenging it is, just one strike to attack me."
She smiles, as if she's discovered a rare treasure, as if her millennium wish has finally come true — a pure smile from the heart.
Accompanied by the smile is an immense amount of Prana, devouring everything like an abyss, and an unfathomable fighting spirit suppressed for thousands of years.
Facing Fan Xinglu, Luke feels an almost breathless pressure.
Slowly, a wild smile appears on his face.
The sharp aura from the duel with Wu Xiaohui surges again, but unlike before, this time it doesn't disappear in a flash.
Sharp, pure sharpness, the violent sword qi forcefully withstands Fan Xinglu's abyss-like momentum and spreads in all directions.
Despite the vast strength difference, it doesn't take long for the spread of sword qi to decline.
Before Fan Xinglu could be disappointed, changes occur.
At the center of the sword qi, Luke's body, the initially declining sword energy seems to come to life as he holds the sword.
Later, Fan Xinglu, Zhao Hufeng, Cecily, and Wu Xiaohui, who has just awakened, witness the most dazzling sword skill.
