Individual Competition Top 32 (III)

"As for the two of you..."

Ye Qingcang weighed the longsword in his hand.

Immediately, he held the sword horizontally in front of him with a backhand motion.

Bring your index and middle fingers together and brush them across the curved blade.

It's worth mentioning that the "bend" here doesn't mean Ye Qingcang broke the sword, but rather that the blade itself has a wave-like shape, like ocean waves. Otherwise, it wouldn't be called the Wave Cutting Cliff Severing Sword; no name is ever chosen randomly.

Therefore, Ye Qingcang made full use of the sword's characteristics, twisting the blade and suddenly thrusting forward, as if in a spiral.

Amidst the distorted light and shadow, a fierce wind howled.

There seemed to be the sound of a thousand waves rising and falling.

"Strike Tide!"

Ye Qingcang murmured.

To be fair, it is indeed simple and unpretentious.

It sounds similar to Splitting Mount Hua in two.

It doesn't even sound as impressive as Splitting Mount Hua in two.

However, this move is surprisingly lethal.

"Let the waves rise and fall, I will pierce the tide with my sword."

While dealing with the others, Violet still had the energy to observe the battle.

That's why.

She was well aware of the trickery involved in that sword strike.

This sword strike, which appears to be one strike, is actually two strikes.

It is also a rare move with dual Artistic Conception among the B-level sword techniques in the Blue Tyrant Academy's treasure trove, and the Artistic Conception do not conflict at all.

To say that there is only one is clearly incorrect.

Yin Yang One Qi Sword.

Dragon Phoenix Stealth Sword.

There are several other sword techniques.

Both have a dual Artistic Conception.

However, these dual realms of Artistic Conception need to be cultivated sequentially.

For example, with the Yin Yang One Qi Sword, under normal circumstances, it is recommended that male Soul Master first cultivate the Yin Sword and then supplement with the Yang Sword, while female Soul Master are recommended to first cultivate the Yang Sword and then supplement with the Yin Sword. This is because men are inherently Yang and women are inherently Yin. If they cultivate according to their attributes, their progress will be faster, but it is easy for men to turn into extreme Yang and for women to turn into extreme Yin. Although extreme Yang can generate Yin and extreme Yin can also generate Yang, the Soul Master's body may not be able to withstand the transformation to Yin and Yang.

But Strike Tide are different.

The corresponding technique for Strike Tide is Tide Strike.

The two Artistic Conception can be understood in no particular order, and even the environment can be the same. Theoretically, the best place is the seaside, but if you can't find the seaside, the riverside, the lakeside or any other place with big waves will do, even a waterfall.

To Strike Tide means to use a sword to pierce through the huge waves.

Since the theoretically best location is the seaside.

This large wave was thus defined as a surge.

When a person learns this technique and uses their Soul Power Soul Power only covers the sword with it, they can only be considered to have mastered the basics when they can pierce through a giant wave that is 20 meters high and 50 meters wide with a single strike, without getting their clothes or anything else wet.

Tide Strike is about imitating the essence of crashing waves. It involves learning to perfectly block a giant wave that is twenty meters high and fifty meters wide with a sword, but it doesn't require you to stay completely dry. This is considered the beginning of this sword technique.

Therefore, those who study Tide Strike and Strike Tide.

They often learn both techniques at the same time.

When you realize that you can't cut through the waves without getting wet with just a sword and the Soul Power attached to it, your focus will inevitably shift to the waves themselves. You'll study the principles of their operation and their rules of action, trying to find alternative ways to break the deadlock. But no research can be done solely through analysis; practice is essential. And among all methods of practice, imitation is the easiest way to understand the truth. This aligns with the meaning of "Tide Strike." You must imagine your sword as a wave, using the wave to fight against the wave, to stop the wave. When you can do this, it means you've grasped the patterns of the waves and know their weaknesses. By analyzing the waves in turn based on those weaknesses, you achieve Strike Tide —a technique that allows you to strike the opponent's weakness while simultaneously ignoring all other attacks.

As for minor success, that's related to Sword Intent.

The ultimate skill is being able to stack two swords together.

As for perfection, Ye Qingcang hasn't set it yet. In fact, over 90% of the techniques Ye Qingcang created have only reached the Great Completion level. This is because Ye Qingcang has always believed that learning End Realm, and perfection shouldn't be defined. Therefore, in the space between Great Completion and theoretical perfection, Ye Qingcang can fill in whatever insights he has without considering whether he needs to change the realm. For example, terms like Minor Perfection, Great Perfection, or, like in many novels, the term "late stage of Great Perfection" would be a headache to hear.

Therefore, facing this sword...

It is both Strike Tide and the Tide Strike.

It can withstand both single-target and area-of-effect attacks.

This young man, who also possessed five Soul Ring —one yellow, two purple, and two black—was equally powerless to resist and was effortlessly carried away.

The Wave Cutting Cliff Severing Sword, swept across the sky.

It shone brightly under the spotlight of the arena.

Immediately, it fell, also spinning.

It was inserted into the ear of this student on the Heaven Ranking.

It seems simple.

In fact, whether it was the Heaven Ranking student whose Martial Soul was the Wave Cutting Cliff Severing Sword, or the Heaven Ranking student whose Martial Soul was the North Wind Saber, the methods they just displayed could be said to be their most confident attacks. They were all capable of directly breaking through the Martial Soul Avatar of Soul Saint, and could perfectly Intimidation Intimidation -spiritual Soul Saint, and even some Soul Douluo with average spiritual strength. In other words, even if a Soul Saint activated their Martial Soul Avatar, as long as they were not a spiritual type Soul Master, under this slash and sword, there would be no other outcome but death. This is the effect of breaking through defenses and theoretically achieving comprehensive hard control.

And Ye Qingcang's sword strike just now.

And that previous stab.

Below the Super Douluo, non-spiritual Soul Master are practically guaranteed to die.

Although this was not a reason for the young man with the bow to give up.

"First Soul Skill: Shaping!"

Third Soul Skill: Soaring Spirit!

Fourth Soul Skill: Explosion!

Fifth Soul Skill: Burning Sun!

"Hundred Stars Chase the Sun!"

The young man forcefully raised the longbow in his hand.

One white, one yellow, and three black.

Four of the five Soul Ring suddenly lit up.

His first Soul Skill shapes the Soul Power he outputs into special arrows. This process is entirely up to him; he can make armor-piercing arrows, whistling arrows, fractal arrows, or even hook-and-claw arrows, as long as he injects the corresponding Soul Power.

It greatly enhances combat effectiveness in different environments.

The Second Soul Ring Soul Ring without saying. The corresponding Soul Skill is "Exorcise Evil," which can deal extra damage and additional functions to Soul Master whose Martial Soul are of the dark attribute, including but not limited to slowing down healing speed, ignoring 75% of defense, self-location function, self-tracking function, and continuously adding holy type damage, etc.

It's useless against Ye Qingcang.

It's useless against most Soul Master.

It can be considered a special attack technique against Evil Spirit Master.

Secondly, there's the third Soul Skill, which is basically a Soul Skill that increases strength and endurance. These two aspects are very important for archers, determining the minimum damage they can deal.

The Fourth Soul Skill: Burst and the Fifth Soul Skill: Sun Burning.

All of these enhance the lethality of arrows.

One of the increases is to deal damage to groups.

One of the increases is single-target damage.

Finally, there are martial arts techniques related to longbows in the Blue Tyrant Academy's treasure vault.

A technique for striking a specific area.

Unfortunately, none of it worked for Ye Qingcang.

He had even anticipated the attacks that would follow. "After the group attack, it's a single target attack. I'm betting that the opponent doesn't have strong mobility or strong defensive capabilities... standard mob clearing and restrictive Soul Skill."
