Dual Incantation: Success
"In that case, these team members are actually benefiting from your success."
Then, Tessai Tsukabishi's voice echoed in the training ground, steady and powerful.
Upon hearing the voice of the Great Kidō Daoist, everyone stopped their training and gathered around.
"You have already learned the basics of Dual Incantation, but true Dual Incantation is more than just the synchronized interweaving of Reiatsu."
"The chanting of texts also needs to be done in parallel."
Upon hearing this, everyone perked up.
"That is to say, two different incantations for the Kidō must be chanted at the same time."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.
A low murmur arose in the training field.
"Singing two verses simultaneously?"
"The chanting and Reiatsu need to be synchronized, that's difficult..."
Ignoring the comments, Tessai Tsukabishi continued.
"I'll demonstrate it for you, listen carefully."
He took a deep breath, and then two verses flowed from his mouth simultaneously.
Two distinct types of syllables, rhythms, and rhymes emerge simultaneously and in parallel.
At the same time, crimson and cyan lights simultaneously shone before him.
The two bursts of Reiatsu fluctuated at their own frequencies, perfectly matching the rhythm of the chanting.
Then, he reached out with both hands.
Two Kidō paths, their power deliberately reduced, attacked the distant target simultaneously, shattering it instantly.
Wang Xun stood in the corner, his eyes fixed on every move of Tessai Tsukabishi.
In his vision, fragments were falling from Tessai Tsukabishi's body.
[Gained 2 Advanced Kidō Insights, Kidō Experience Points +200]
[Kidō Branch Skill - Double Incantation Proficiency Increased by 4%]
Tessai Tsukabishi calmed his Reiatsu and slowly swept his gaze across the entire arena.
"Although we gave a demonstration in advance, don't be greedy for quick results; continue to solidify your foundation."
"Alright, let's continue practicing."
Looking at his bewildered teammates, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
After the establishment of the Gotei 13, the Kidō Corps, although still holding a prominent position, gradually became a supporting organization operating behind the scenes.
While this greatly ensured the safety of these team members, it also deprived them of the necessary training.
These aristocratic children, who were forced into the system, have been pampered since childhood; have they ever truly faced any danger?
They have good talent, but their character is terrible.
If this continues, the Kidō Corps will only become more marginalized and rigid, just like...
Tessai Tsukabishi put aside his overly presumptuous thoughts and subconsciously looked towards the corner of the field.
There, Wang Xun had already walked to a target, his hands raised in a gesture, his lips moving slightly.
Tessai Tsukabishi's eyes narrowed slightly.
The team members standing near Wang Xun also gradually realized that something was wrong.
They turned their heads to look at Wang Xun.
What is he doing?
"It sounds like they're reciting lyrics?"
"So what if I'm reading it? What's so strange about it? I'm reading it too."
But then, one of them suddenly contracted his pupils.
"No, this Reiatsu!"
The others noticed the change in Reiatsu and turned to look.
The chanting from Wang Xun's mouth was rapidly changing; it wasn't a single rhythm, but rather two completely different lyrics alternating in parallel.
Soon, the Kidō took shape.
"How... how is this possible?!"
Boom!
A loud bang.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw two different types of Kidō being released from Wang Xun's hands.
The blue and red light intertwined into a spiral, shattering the target in front of them.
Just like what Tessai Tsukabishi demonstrated earlier.
The training ground fell silent instantly.
Everyone stared blankly at that corner, watching Wang Xun slowly withdraw his hands, his expression as calm as if he had just completed an ordinary exercise.
Some people looked surprised, while others found it hard to believe.
Some people had ashen faces.
As training ended and dusk fell, Wang Xun packed his things and bowed to Tessai Tsukabishi in farewell.
In the training ground, several noble children stood together, watching that figure disappear into the twilight.
silence.
A stifling silence.
"Snort."
Finally, someone let out a cold snort.
It was the black-haired youth who had been reprimanded by Tessai Tsukabishi that morning; his face was now filled with gloom.
"What's so great about it?"
He gritted his teeth and said.
"Isn't it just good luck that he happened to be around the right time and suddenly understood?"
A person nearby chimed in.
"That's right, that's right. An outsider who's only been with our Kidō Corps for a few days, what real skills could he possibly have?"
The other person frowned.
"But he did succeed. When the Great Kidō Daoist Priest demonstrated, we couldn't even take the first step..."
"What do you mean, speaking up for an outsider? Who knows if he rehearsed this beforehand?"
"That's not what I meant, I just..."
That's enough.
The black-haired youth at the head of the group interrupted their argument.
He stared at the closed door, his eyes filled with resentment and bitterness.
"Wasn't the way the Great Kidō Priest spoke to us today just an example to warn us?"
He turned around and looked at his companions.
"What do you mean by being complacent, lacking ambition, and relying on the legacy of one's ancestors..."
He repeated Tessai Tsukabishi's words slowly and deliberately, his face growing darker with each sentence.
"He's also of noble birth, just a bit more senior. What right does he have to talk about us like that?"
"That's right, that's right."
"The Great Kidō Priest has indeed gone too far today."
The group grew increasingly agitated as they spoke, their voices filled with resentment and grievance.
But they didn't notice that a figure had been standing in the shadows not far away for quite some time.
The man was dressed in a dark kimono, with a thin face and sinister eyes.
He listened quietly to the complaints of these noblemen, a smile gradually curving his lips.
He slowly emerged from the shadows only after the group had vented their anger.
"Young masters, what a pleasant experience!"
The sound wasn't loud, but it startled all of them at once.
"Who?!"
They turned around and saw a figure standing at the edge of the shadows of the corridor, half of his face shrouded in twilight, his expression unreadable.
But the man took a step forward and stepped into the light.
The black-haired youth was taken aback, but he recognized the person.
"Nagano?"
The visitor was none other than Nagano Masayasu, a minor nobleman who was not particularly prominent in aristocratic circles.
I heard that their family has recently fallen on hard times and is on the verge of collapse.
Nagano Masayasu bowed slightly.
"Excuse me for disturbing you all. I just happened to be passing by and overheard your conversation, so I couldn't help but chime in."
He paused, his smile gentle.
"I deeply sympathize with the grievances you suffered today."
"What do you mean?"
Nagano Masayasu did not answer directly.
He looked at the closed door, his voice low and somber.
"My master has something he'd like to discuss with you all regarding that Wang Xun."
Upon hearing this, the group frowned and exchanged glances.
"What does this have to do with you? What, are you trying to use us as pawns?"
"It wouldn't be too late to discuss this matter with my master."
Nagano Masayasu looked at the group of noblemen, their eyes filled with resentment, and slowly uttered a surname.
In the darkness of the night, his eyes were exceptionally deep.
"If you're interested, we can find another place to chat more."
He stepped aside and gestured for him to enter.
"I know a place where the tea is good and you won't be disturbed."
The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
The black-haired youth at the head hesitated for a moment, then nodded emphatically.
"Lead the way."
Nagano Masayasu's smile deepened.
He turned and walked deeper into the corridor.
Several footsteps followed closely behind.
