Asura Aurora Slash VS Half Moon Funeral!

In the back mountains, poker cards transformed into [Magic Card: Blank] in Abel's hands.

Once his mental power was nearly depleted, he would immediately stop, then happily light himself a N95 cigarette and slowly recover.

After an unknown amount of time, with the learning bonus from the [Full Stomach] state, the skill [Magic Card Modification] finally brought him to LV2.

He then created a few more LV2 [Magic Card: Blank] cards, which served to verify some of his hypotheses.

After practicing for so long, Abel had finally discovered some patterns in the [Magic Card Modification] skill.

Firstly, there was no upper limit to the number of [Magic Card: Blank] cards that could be created using [Magic Card Modification].

As long as his mental power was sufficient and he had enough poker cards to use, he could continue creating them without any restrictions.

However, there was a quantity limit when using [Magic Card: Blank] for skill imprinting.

At LV1, a skill could only be imprinted once.

Taking the skill [Asura Aurora Slash] as an example, at LV1, only one [Magic Card: Asura Aurora Slash] could exist.

If another new [Magic Card: Blank] was used for imprinting, the original [Magic Card: Asura Aurora Slash] would shatter and disappear.

Upon upgrading to LV2, the number of imprints allowed became two!

This meant that two [Magic Card: Asura Aurora Slash] cards could exist simultaneously!

Furthermore, Abel discovered that even for the same skill, the power of the imprinted magic cards could differ.

For instance, the charging state of [Asura Aurora Slash] could have its power manually adjusted.

The longer the charging time, the greater the power of the sealed magic card, rather than it being fixed.

This gave Abel room to maneuver.

Normally, he could record two [Magic Card: Asura Aurora Slash] cards at maximum power, carry them with him, and then unleash them instantly during combat to catch the enemy off guard.

And this was only at LV2; as he continued to upgrade, the number of magic cards he could imprint skills onto would surely increase.

Looking at it this way, the [Magic Card Modification] skill, despite being a support skill, was extremely practical.

He had indeed underestimated this skill at the time.

The next day, after breakfast, it was time for Diamante's sword fighting class.

However, something strange happened. This time, Diamante didn't teach as usual. Instead, he looked at Abel with a scrutinizing gaze mixed with other emotions.

"Before we start training, I'd like to experience our sword genius's Flying Slash."

Although Diamante no longer bothered Abel, his tone was still somewhat sarcastic at times.

Fortunately, Abel was used to it and automatically filtered out the mockery.

"Here?"

"What, is there a problem?"

Abel nodded seriously, "I'm afraid I might hurt you. You're a top cadre, and if the 'Blood Family Rules' come into play, I'll be in trouble."

"Hahaha, you? Afraid of hurting me?"

"Haven't tried it yet, who knows."

Diamante was somewhat angered by Abel's casual tone and immediately made a threat, "As a cadre, I order you to attack me. I will bear any consequences myself."

"Alright, you all heard him. He told me to attack, remember to be my witness later."

Luo immediately nodded, "We all heard. As a cadre, you surely won't go back on your word, right?"

Diamante's face darkened slightly. Abel decided to stop there, "I will use my full power for this next strike. If you don't think you can block it, remember to dodge."

"Don't underestimate a cadre too much. Bring it on, kid!"

Diamante shouted and drew his longsword.

Although he was confident in his strength, he wouldn't make the same mistake as last time.

So he was prepared early, putting aside his previous underestimation.

At this moment, Abel also gripped his short sword, but he didn't attack immediately. Instead, he began to charge up.

Since the other party wanted to witness the power of [Asura Aurora Slash], he naturally had to give it his absolute respect!

Full charge, here we go!

In just three seconds, Abel felt his stamina completely depleted, concentrated in the sword hilt, but it wasn't enough!

So he converted the [Full Stomach] state, which he had intended for training, into energy to replenish his body, and continued charging.

Four seconds, five seconds, six seconds!

Abel had now charged for a full six seconds. Although there was still some energy converted by the Gourmet Cells within him, his mental power was running dry.

He hesitated no longer, forcing down the slight pain in his head, and suddenly drew his sword and swung!

"Asura Aurora Slash!"

Instantly, a massive sword energy, shining with a seven-colored aurora, swept forward.

It not only stunned Luo standing nearby but also left Diamante, who was preparing to block, wide-eyed.

"How could this be?"

Back when he was being pursued by the Navy, he was certain that the Flying Slashes he saw were only about two meters long.

Afterward, he asked others, and the answers were all the same.

But now?

A Flying Slash that was a full 12 meters long, and what's more, it was two sword energies, one horizontal and one vertical, intersecting.

In an instant, it carved a deep and long fissure in the ground.

Diamante felt numb.

He instinctively wanted to dodge, but his pride wouldn't allow it.

After calming down, he suddenly realized that although the Flying Slash before him looked imposing, its power wasn't condensed enough. It was fine for scaring amateurs, but not dangerous for a true sword master.

So, he who was originally preparing to parry and defend, instantly changed his move and fiercely slashed out with his sword.

"Half Moon Funeral!"

A powerful wave of sword energy violently collided with it, creating a huge sound.

As an orange-quality skill, the power of Asura Aurora Slash was self-evident.

It was just that Abel, the user, was far less skilled than Diamante.

So, even though this sword strike had completed a 6-second charge, it was ultimately pierced through by Diamante's Half Moon Funeral.

The surging wave of sword energy continued its momentum unabated, directly splitting more than half of the junkyard behind Abel in two, terrifying many people who thought they had encountered an enemy attack.

Abel was not disappointed with this outcome.

How many days had he been training?

And what was Diamante's strength?

If a mere orange-quality skill could allow a rookie like him to immediately defeat those long-established powerhouses, wouldn't that make them too cheap!

What's more, he had already achieved his initial goal.

Ssssh.

The shattered Aurora sword energy, relying on its residual piercing properties, lightly grazed Diamante's left cheek, leaving a clear bloodstain.

Diamante raised a hand and gently wiped his face, his mood exceptionally complex.

But soon, he calmed down.

As if nothing had happened, he began today's swordsmanship lesson.

No one knew what he was truly thinking.
