His Usual Strength

"As for my abilities, I'm already using them."

As he finished speaking, Miyauchi Hiyage's eyes began to shine, and everything around him became exceptionally clear in his eyes.

After all, the Card Master's ultimate ability is to illuminate the vision of all enemies on the map. In reality, with the help of Mana and mental power, one can also improve their eyesight and observation ability to a certain extent, and become much more sensitive to the movement of Spiritual Power.

For now, we can consider it a mini version of the Six Eyes.

Looking into those eyes that seemed to see right through you, Maki Zenin muttered to herself.

Do they have eyes similar to those of Gojo-sensei?

However, compared to Satoru Gojo's deep eyes, these eyes seemed to shine even brighter.

Since they are eyes, they should have the function of enhancing vision. I wonder what other abilities these eyes have besides that.

"As the junior, you should attack first. Let me see what's so special about your swordsmanship."

Miyauchi Hiyage nodded.

Next comes the third form of Water Breathing: Flowing Dance followed by the fourth form: Strike Tide.

This is a relatively gentle offensive technique in Water Breathing. First, use the Third Form to get close to the enemy, and then use the Fourth Form to transform the sword into a tide to launch a continuous attack on the enemy.

After all, he had only mastered the Water Breathing a few days ago, so he decided to use this move to greet the other party first.

Seeing the blade being wielded by Miyauchi Hiyage, Maki Zenin couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on her face.

Putting everything else aside, the physical abilities the opponent is currently displaying already surpass those of half of the Jujutsu High.

Did those eyes enhance the other person's physical abilities?

Moreover, although this swordsmanship looks very gentle, she could still see the sharp killing intent hidden behind it.

Every strike the opponent unleashed was aimed at her neck. Normal swordsmanship doesn't start with a single-minded focus on slitting the throat.

But now is not the time to think about these things.

Maki Zenin noticed the awkwardness in Miyauchi Hiyage Himekage's swordsmanship. Now, she only wanted to use her most proficient naginata to break through Miyauchi Hiyage's swordsmanship in the most violent way!

She picked up her naginata, completely focused.

In Yotsuya Miko's eyes, she saw a continuous current, like a ukiyo-e painting, emerging from the sword in Miyauchi Hiyage's hand.

"So... so beautiful, such amazing swordsmanship!"

Looking at the waves that Miyauchi Hiyage was creating, Yotsuya Miko couldn't help but sigh.

"Beautiful?" Shinomiya Kaguya was taken aback.

Water Breathing is indeed beautiful, but Shinomiya Kaguya doesn't see anything special about the Tide of Strike used by Miyauchi Hiyage. Can this really be described as beautiful?

Yotsuya Miko nodded, pointing out the surging waves in each strike of the Miyauchi Hiyage.

The waves piled up one after another, and the style of the paintings was like ukiyo-e; the only word to describe it is "pleasing to the eye."

"Waves... waves?" Shinomiya Kaguya's eyes widened.

She watched intently as the two people clashed blades on the playground.

Miyauchi Hiyage is indeed using Water Breathing now, and his proficiency is visibly much higher than when he first learned it the day before yesterday.

But where did these waves come from?

At most, she could only sense a gust of sword energy rising from the swing of the Miyauchi Hiyage. According to the training method of Water Breathing, this is a phenomenon that only appears after the Water Breathing training has been completed.

Shinomiya Kaguya Miyauchi Hiyage had mastered the art of Water Breathing so quickly.

Having witnessed how the other party could master Water Breathing on their first encounter with Breathing Technique, and even perform a few moves of Sun Breathing, which is the most difficult to cultivate, it's only natural that he could unleash sword energy so quickly.

However, she couldn't see the waves that Yotsuya Miko had mentioned at all.

However, she soon realized that this was probably something that Yotsuya Miko's eyes could see but ordinary people couldn't.

Chapter 229: Normal Strength

It was only through Shinomiya Kaguya's description that Yotsuya Miko realized that the "special effects" she saw were completely invisible to Shinomiya Kaguya.

She reached out and touched her eyes.

Is this also an effect brought about by her eyes?

Is it because Miyauchi Hiyage uses Water Breathing that she can see the waves stirred up by the opponent's sword?

Yotsuya Miko had never seen anything like this happen to anyone else before, so she couldn't help but look at Panda standing to the side, wondering if he could see the same thing as she did.

Although the panda's attention was focused on the two people fighting in the center of the playground, it still had some understanding of the situation of its junior sister who had special eyes.

She suddenly awakened an extremely advanced Spirit Vision, and it had absolutely no effect on her body.

The nature of Vengeful Spirit means that only those with greater power can see more powerful Vengeful Spirit. Therefore, even I can only see level one Vengeful Spirit at present, and at most I can only see a blurry shadow above that.

In a sense, the Yotsuya Miko can clearly see even the appearance of a top-tier Vengeful Spirit means that her eyes have at least the potential to be top-tier.

Unfortunately, although Yotsuya Miko's Cursed Energy is not bad, she has not yet shown any particularly outstanding abilities.

But today, the other side suddenly saw something special during this battle.

Its gaze was fixed on the sword blades swirling in the Miyauchi Hiyage.

Were those bursts of sword energy actually in the form of waves in Yotsuya's eyes?

Thinking this, although she couldn't see the scene in Yotsuya Miko's eyes, looking at Miyauchi Hiyage's relentless offensive, which stretched like a river, she could almost feel the surging waves.

However, it didn't know how to explain it either, so it could only ask Yotsuya Miko to write it all down so that she could later ask Miyauchi Hiyage for advice on these special sword techniques.

Upon hearing this, Shinomiya Kaguya's eyebrows twitched slightly, but in the end she said nothing.

After all, she planned to seek advice from Miyauchi Hiyage after this.

In the center of the playground, facing a martial arts master like Maki Zenin, Miyauchi Hiyage truly felt a sense of exhilaration in his first sparring match with someone.

Practicing swordsmanship against thin air is naturally not as nerve-wracking or demanding as sparring with Mahito.

In particular, Maki Zenin had noticed his rusty swordsmanship and intentionally helped him practice moves. Unbeknownst to her, Miyauchi Hiyage had already used only the last few moves of the entire Water Breathing.

Seeing that Maki Zenin was still handling the situation with ease, Miyauchi Hiyage also prepared to increase the intensity of the attack.

"Water Breathing, Form of Gathering - Life Flowing," he recited the sword technique he was about to use for the first time to Maki Zenin after completing a tumbling slash in the air with the second form, Waterwheel.

"Ah... the waves in Miyauchi -kun's hands are starting to change!" Yotsuya Miko noticed the change in the waves the moment Miyauchi Hiyage was preparing.

It was a water dragon encircling the sword!

Maki Zenin seemed to realize the imposing aura emanating from Miyauchi Hiyage, and her gaze became somewhat serious.

As the final move in the regular sword techniques of Water Breathing, this is also the move Water Breathing power varies the most depending on the user.

This can be described as a spinning slash whose power can be continuously increased.

Each spin brings a more powerful strike.

Of course, while it's said to be infinitely stackable, it actually depends on the user's physical condition.

If your physical condition is poor, you naturally won't be able to unleash much power, and it might not even be as effective as the previous Water Breathing forms, which are used solely for slashing and thrusting.

However, with the enhancement of magic and Ripple Chi Kung, Miyauchi Hiyage still has some stats, so the power of this move in his hands is naturally not bad.

Miyauchi Hiyage swung his katana, the sword energy becoming increasingly sharp, and Maki Zenin felt a sense of pressure.

Although she only wanted to see what her junior was capable of, she deliberately let him take the initiative while she passively defended herself.

But is this junior really a superhuman who just completed his extraordinary awakening a few days ago?

She was already firmly at level one in terms of physical fitness, and she was surprised to find that her junior schoolmate's physical fitness was comparable to hers!

Faced with the opponent's increasingly powerful spinning slash, Maki Zenin finally abandoned her contempt.

If they continue to defend like this, and this junior continues on, sooner or later they will be unable to hold him off.

Moreover, since the opponent has already used this move, it should be their last trump card.

Then she should take the initiative to fight back and not let this junior's momentum continue to build.

With this in mind, Maki Zenin quickly adjusted her tactics and charged forward with her naginata for the first time.

In Yotsuya Miko's eyes, it was as if Miyauchi Hiyage, like a dragon dancer, was manipulating the blue dragon in his hand to violently collide with the naginata in Maki Zenin's hand, bursting out intense sparks!

Instantly, the azure water dragon dissipated, and both of them were forced back a step by the force of the impact.

At that moment, the Silver Ripple Overdrive of Miyauchi Hiyage clinging to the Swords were also transmitted to the naginata.

Maki Zenin felt a subtle energy fluctuation emanating from the katana in her opponent's hand the moment their weapons clashed, almost causing her to lose ownership of the weapon!

Is this also the power that the other party possesses?

She was somewhat surprised and doubtful, but her body reacted so quickly that she felt she could no longer hold onto her weapon. So she used Zenin Style -in style taijutsu to kick Miyauchi Hiyage.

Within the copied Zenin Style technique, Miyauchi Hiyage, who knew this move, quickly drew his sword to block the attack.

Undeterred by her missed attack, Maki Zenin seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack against Miyauchi Hiyage, utilizing her complete Zenin Style Technique and her years of swordsmanship training.

She had already witnessed Miyauchi Hiyage's Water Breathing. Although she hadn't yet found a way to counter it, she would simply use an even more swift counterattack to defeat him directly.

The naginata slashed through waves of water, and for a moment, Miyauchi Hiyage was truly caught off guard.

After all, he had only been practicing swordsmanship for a few days and relied entirely on his talent to get to where he was today, so the transitions between his moves were not particularly smooth.

Fortunately, he still had the experience copied from the katana, which allowed him to barely withstand the opponent's offensive waves by using enhancement magic and Silver Ripple Overdrive.

Is this an attempt to completely destroy oneself?

Miyauchi Hiyage retreated continuously to deal with Maki Zenin's attacks, while trying to continue gathering the sword energy of Water Breathing.

However, after witnessing Water Breathing, the other party had no intention of giving him another chance to regroup.

In that case...

Miyauchi Hiyage gritted his teeth and forcefully unleashed the Ninth Form: Water Flow Spray: Chaos, slightly increasing the distance between them.

Then, just as Maki Zenin was about to charge forward after landing, he switched sword techniques.

The compatibility between Water Breathing and Ripple Chi Kung is generally average. Apart from the final Sun Breathing, Ripple Chi Kung is actually the closest to Thunder Breathing in terms of its expression.

Water Breathing is just for practice and warm-up.

As the water receded, a faint flash of lightning rang out from the sword and even around Miyauchi Hiyage, slowing Maki Zenin's assault pace.

Are these other moves?

The opponent has a new move?!

This time, not only Yotsuya Miko could see it, but Shinomiya Kaguya, who had been practicing Ripple Breathing for a month, could also see it more clearly.

After all, isn't the conventional manifestation of Ripple Chi Kung just these constantly jumping electric arcs?

However, after comparing the current Ripple within her body, she realized that it would be difficult for her to have Ripple covering her entire body like Miyauchi Hiyage.

If it were possible, it might be achievable, but it certainly wouldn't be as easy as it was for Miyauchi Hiyage.

But she clearly remembered that when she sparred with Miyauchi Hiyage Ripple before, the amount of Ripple in Himekage's body was less than her own, and Himekage only defeated her by relying on his Ripple usage skills.

Looking back now, it seems that Miyauchi Hiyage was probably giving in to her all along.

Can extraordinary awakening really bring such a great improvement to people?

This wasn't the first time Shinomiya Kaguya had thought this way, but watching Miyauchi Hiyage and Maki Zenin spar, she couldn't help but feel some anticipation for the day she would awaken her extraordinary powers.

While pondering, Miyauchi Hiyage had already adjusted his state, and with arcs of electricity emanating from his body, he used the most basic and core move of Thunder Breathing, Thunderclap and Flash.

Sensing that Miyauchi Hiyage's speed had increased again, and knowing that his opponent was coming on strong, Maki Zenin no longer held back and used her true skills to fight against Miyauchi Hiyage.

She knew that if she didn't handle things well, it might really fall on her junior schoolmate.

She didn't want to be defeated by a boy who had just awakened his extraordinary abilities.

She brandished her naginata, using superhuman reflexes to block the opponent's thrust.

For a fleeting moment, she seemed to feel that Miyauchi Hiyage had transformed into lightning and passed right through her.

By the time she came to her senses from the deafening roar of the thunder, Miyauchi Hiyage had already sprinted up behind her.

She looked at the naginata in her hand.

The hilt of the sword was now teetering on the brink of collapse after the opponent's thunderous slash.

If this naginata hadn't been a magical tool she used regularly, far more valuable and durable than her other training weapons, her opponent's strike would probably have broken it in two.
