Wrath of Frost Blade :
"Wrath of Frost Blade" is a revered sword manual deeply rooted in the manipulation of snow elements. It is structured around the concept of harmonizing the user's internal Qi with the ambient energies of snow and ice, creating a symphony of frost-based attacks. The manual consists of five major forms:
1. Whispering Flurry: This initial form focuses on swift, light movements, mimicking the unpredictability of a snow flurry. The practitioner's blade moves in seemingly random, yet precisely calculated patterns, aimed at disorienting the opponent.
2. Glacial Pierce: Building on the foundation of fluid motion, this technique involves a sudden, focused thrust of the sword, akin to a shard of ice piercing through snow. It requires the cultivator to concentrate their cold Qi at the tip of the blade, releasing it at the moment of impact.
3. Blizzard's Dance: An advanced form that involves a series of spinning and leaping movements, creating a vortex of chilling winds around the practitioner. The sword movements in this form are broad and sweeping, designed to control the battlefield and keep opponents at bay.
4. Frostbite Edge: A technique that channels the essence of frost into the sword, making the blade extremely cold. A single cut can leave a trail of ice on the opponent, slowing down their movements and making them vulnerable to further attacks.
5. Eternal Winter's Demise: The ultimate technique of the manual, it requires mastery of the previous forms. The cultivator unleashes a barrage of rapid, chilling strikes, each infused with dense snow Qi. The culmination is a powerful slash that releases a wave of freezing energy, capable of encasing the target in ice.
In the dimly lit cavern of the Azure Dragon Whispering Caves, Ria sat cross-legged, poring over the ancient pages of the "Wrath of Frost Blade" manual. The cold, dense air of the cave seemed to pulse in rhythm with the profound techniques described in the text. After thoroughly examining the contents, she looked up at Eric, seeking his guidance.
"This manual... I think I like it, but I'm unsure," Ria confessed, her voice echoing slightly in the cavernous space. "Do you think it's the right choice for my cultivation?"
Eric, sitting opposite her, gave a reassuring smile. "It's perfect for you," he affirmed confidently. "The techniques align well with the Whispering Frost's blade spirit. Mastering 'Wrath of Frost Blade' will enhance your combat abilities significantly."
Encouraged by his words, Ria's eyes returned to the manual, her resolve strengthening. She then presented the second manual to Eric – "Edge of Snow Storm". "How about this one. I think it is hard to master. Can you help?" she asked.
Taking the manual from her, Eric flipped through the pages, each turn revealing intricate details of sword techniques and Qi manipulation.
Edge of Snow Storm :
"Edge of Snow Storm" is a cultivation manual that focuses on the aggressive use of snow elements in sword combat. It teaches the cultivator to draw upon the surrounding cold energies, infusing their blade with the ferocity of a winter storm. The manual is divided into three primary techniques:
1. Frost Gale Slash: This technique harnesses the power of wind and snow. The practitioner swings their sword to generate a gust of freezing wind, capable of slashing through multiple opponents. The key to this technique is the synchronization of sword movement with the rhythm of the wind.
2. Avalanche Strike: A powerful downward strike that mimics the force of an avalanche. The cultivator gathers dense snow Qi above the blade, releasing it in a single, devastating blow. The impact is said to be capable of breaking through solid defenses.
3. Ice Vortex Counter: A defensive technique that creates a swirling vortex of snow and ice around the practitioner. It serves both as a shield and a counter-attack mechanism. When an opponent strikes, the vortex absorbs the impact and redirects the energy, launching a counterblow of icy shards.
Eric paused, reflecting on his memories, "'Edge of Snow Storm' is a powerful choice, especially the 'Avalanche Strike'. I remember the day the Snow Clan matriarch ascended to her position using this very technique. It was both terrifying and awe-inspiring. She obliterated all opposition with a single strike."
Handing the manual back to Ria, Eric's expression was one of admiration and respect. "If you can master this, your prowess in battle will be unstoppable."
Ria accepted the manual, a sense of determination washing over her. The story of the Snow Clan matriarch ignited a fire within her, a desire to reach similar heights of power and control.
As she delved into the pages of "Edge of Snow Storm", the cave around them seemed to grow colder, responding to the latent power of the manual. Eric observed her, a silent guardian, his presence both protective and encouraging.
While Ria absorbing the contents of the sword manual, Eric began searching for a suitable movement technique for her. During the competition there will be tough opponents with fierce attacks from the start.
Eric clearly know one truth, the snow family techniques are not strong from the Start. The cultivator need to drag the fight as the snow element effect gradually increases with time. So, to escape from initial onslaught and build her momentum faster during the battle, Eric decided to find a suitable movement technique which can synchronise well with her attacks.
His thoughts landed on a technique he had once seen, a movement style known as the "Gale Step." It was renowned for its ability to harness the air currents, enabling the practitioner to move with the swiftness and unpredictability of a gust of wind. This technique would allow Ria to dart around her opponents, evading attacks while building up the intensity of her snow element techniques.
Eric began to sketch out the basic principles of the "Gale Step" from memory, outlining the footwork and the rhythm required to harmonize with the air currents. He focused on adapting the technique to suit Ria's combat style, ensuring it would seamlessly integrate with her sword techniques.
As dawn approached, Eric had outlined a comprehensive training plan for Ria, combining the sword techniques from her manuals with the fluidity of the "Gale Step." He waited patiently for her to emerge from her deep study of the manuals.
