Chapter 26: Chinsei Ame!
"Let me handle it," Luke said.
Stepping forward, he reached out and patted Julis on the shoulder.
"But you also need to be vigilant. If your opponent has the means to sever the connection between you and your move, it could lead to a situation like today."
"In the subsequent development of moves, it's best to consider special means to deal with such unexpected situations."
Luke's words were not unreasonable. If a situation like today occurred, the Garden Of Flame, which greatly assisted Julis, would likely become a significant obstacle.
Preparing countermeasures in advance was entirely justified.
"I understand. I'll trouble you to handle it," Julis nodded, indicating that she had taken his reminder to heart.
Luke drew Ser-Veresta from his waist, and a pure white sword blade emerged instantly. As the blade took form, a storm of sword qi surged.
The sharp aura spread around, as if numerous swords were passing through.
Centered on Luke and Julis, nearly one-third of the Flame Garden was crushed to pieces by the storm of sword qi, and the flame flowers turned into little light fragments, scattering in the air.
Before Julis could find joy, she witnessed countless sparks flying in the air and falling to the ground. The flame flowers, crushed by the ongoing sword storm, bloomed again, even more numerous than before.
"Does it still have this ability?" Julis wondered.
The Garden Of Flame, with the ability to 'resurrect from the dead' and self-recover, heightened Luke and Julis's anticipation for the completion of this move.
However, it needed to be dealt with first.
Just as Luke was about to swing his sword, he seemed to remember something.
Luke looked at the Ser-Veresta in his hand, then at the Garden of Flame in front of him, glanced back at Julis, and grinned.
Confused by his sudden smile, Julis hesitated to ask, but Luke suddenly shouted, "Take this! Star Swordsmanship..."
"You shut up!!!" Julis exclaimed in fury. She had finally managed to ignore this matter, and now she was reminded of it again in such a bad form.
At this moment, Julis, who had just calmed down, almost fell into her own world of shame again.
Having successfully teased Julis, Luke turned around with satisfaction, feeling the 'scorching' gaze coming from behind him, while preparing to deal with the Garden of Flame.
The Ser-Veresta in Luke's hand traced two strange paths. With the output of sufficient Prana, a blue halo spread outward from the Ser-Veresta in Luke's hand.
The azure blue halo spread rapidly, covering the entire Garden of Flame in the blink of an eye.
As the azure halo completed its coverage, changes appeared.
In this fully enclosed training room, it started to drizzle!
Raindrops condensed from the air, turning from a drizzle at the beginning to a normal rain.
The Garden of Flame, soaked by the rain, did not become more beautiful like ordinary flowers receiving moisture. Instead, the flowers gradually withered in the rain that contained strange properties.
The poignant scene of a garden withering in the rain appeared before Luke and Julis.
What was even more amazing was that Julis, initially angry and ashamed, slowly calmed down at this time.
Even after witnessing this poignant scene, all that remained in her heart was peace and tranquility.
This move was developed by Luke by combining Star Swordsmanship with Shigure-Soen-Ryu.
Star Swordsmanship·Shigure-Soen-Ryu·Foreign 20th form·Chinsei Ame!
(PS: Finding suitable names for these sword moves is a pain in the ass. Sorry if there are any mistakes.)
After successfully developing Star Swordsmanship, Luke not only created many suitable Seisenjutsu moves and sword skills but also combined various schools of swordsmanship into new combinations and developed follow-up moves based on the original genre.
Some of these moves and sword skills were ineffective and considered useless, while others were ordinary or served as substitutes.
And some were unique and quite powerful.
'Chinsei Ame' is a follow-up move to Shigure-Soen-Ryu developed by Luke.
Initially intended to create an ideal environment for displaying the advantages of Shigure-Soen-Ryu's swordsmanship, 'Chinsei Ame' now had more functions than originally conceived.
Rain containing various special powers could form attacks to damage enemies. Moreover, it served as a prerequisite move for the subsequent secret skills of Shigure-Soen-Ryu, possessing a crucial ability and function.
In the past two years, Luke practiced and sparred with Fan Xinglu countless times, laying a solid foundation in various genres of swordsmanship and the concepts of different schools.
This foundation gave Luke the potential to reach a higher realm in swordsmanship, leading to the creation of Star Swordsmanship that enhanced his already powerful moves.
Among them, the style most consistent with Star Swordsmanship was not Hiten-Mitsurugi-Ryu, which Luke excelled at, nor the mysterious Dual-Life-Sword, the most powerful inhuman swordsmanship among the three genres.
But Shigure-Soen-Ryu!
Before this, Luke's Shigure-Soen-Ryu had reached an embarrassing point due to its reliance on a special ability called 'Rain Flame,' which Luke did not possess at the time.
Now, possessing special powers and having learned Seisenjutsu, Luke was no longer hindered by the training conditions of Shigure-Soen-Ryu.
Even without understanding the concept of 'Rain Flame,' Luke knew its characteristic displayed tranquility and calmness, which was sufficient.
He divided the concept of 'Rain Flame' into calming rain, calming fire, burning flames in the rain, etc., easily understandable through the combination of Star Swordsmanship and Shigure-Soen-Ryu.
Finally, he completed the practice of Shigure-Soen-Ryu, creating a series of swordsmanship exclusively belonging to Luke.
It could be said that Shigure-Soen-Ryu had now surpassed Hiten-Mitsurugi-Ryu and become Luke's trump card.
This is one of his proudest achievements from the last two years of hard work.
