Chapter 199: Earth-Level Dou Technique Modified: Wave-Splitting Slash!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
In the valley, the blunt and heavy weapons collided fiercely, with the sound of metal clashing filling the air, sparks flying and stirring up strong winds, blowing petals and leaves off the trees into the air.
Jiang Lin's Unsharpened Heavy Sword had an overall strength of only the fourth level, while Xiao Yan's Xuan Heavy Scale could reach the seventh level or even higher. However, neither side could utilize the full potential of their weapons, especially Xiao Yan. The extraordinary hardness of the Xuan Heavy Scale required him to exert sufficient force to bring out its true strength.
The two heavy blunt weapons in the hands of the Dou Masters could only result in simple collisions and were unable to destroy each other's weapons. Of course, unless a Dou Emperor used the Unsharpened Heavy Sword to strike the Xuan Heavy Scale or the other way around, only such powerful impacts would cause damage to the Unsharpened Heavy Sword in a material contest.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Despite their weapons continually clashing, it was obvious to anyone watching that the Black Knight (Jiang Lin) was performing much more skillfully. He maintained a defensive stance, easily fending off the furious attacks of the Black Flame Battle Armor. Finally, both heavy weapons erupted in intense flames. No, it wasn't flames — it was a layer of faint blue water vapor that formed around the Black Knight's Unsharpened Heavy Sword!
Earth-Level Dou Technique: Flame-Splitting Ripple Slash!
Xiao Yan unleashed the highest-level Dou Technique he had mastered, concentrating intense flames in his Xuan Heavy Scale and slashing at Jiang Lin!
As Jiang Lin sensed the dense water vapor emitting from his Unsharpened Heavy Sword, he was momentarily stunned. He looked at Xiao Yan's fierce Flame Scale Slash, which seemed to be coming at him like a mountain. A flash of brilliance passed through Jiang Lin's mind, and in that instant, he felt his mind empty. The energy model of the Flame-Splitting Ripple Slash instantly formed in his mind and was then broken down into countless fragments. These fragments immediately spread through Jiang Lin's entire body!
From behind the Black Knight's gray goggles, a dazzling blue light flashed, and Jiang Lin's aura suddenly shifted! The intense blue Dou Qi surged within his body, and even more blue Dou Qi began to gather at the Unsharpened Heavy Sword, quickly forming a blue water column! The Black Knight then swung the sword in a horizontal slash, aiming directly at the Black Flame Battle Armor that had transformed into a flame wave!
Earth-Level Dou Technique Modified: Break the Waves!
The moment the blue Unsharpened Heavy Sword swung, it seemed to stir the surrounding environment. The massive blue Water System Dou Qi immediately surged forth, creating tsunami-like waves in the wake of the blue sword's movement!
Boom!
The flames and the tsunami collided, causing an enormous explosion. As the surging white steam began to spread, Xiao Yan, in his Black Flame Battle Armor, was knocked flying! He flew twenty or thirty meters in the air before heavily crashing to the ground and rolling several times before finally coming to a stop, his armor covered in dirt and scratches, and his head dazed from the impact.
In that split second, both their attacks had already exceeded the limits of what a normal Dou Master could perform. However, despite this, Xiao Yan, sent flying by the tsunami of surging energy, only suffered scratches on his Black Flame Battle Armor and a bit of dizziness. There were no other injuries.
Meanwhile, Yao Chen watched from afar, looking at the Black Knight (Jiang Lin) in the white mist, who still had his hand raised in the posture of sending Xiao Yan flying. In his heart, no waves rose at all.
It was just a modified Earth-Level Dou Technique, the Flame-Splitting Ripple Slash! What was so impressive about that, huh?!
That's an Earth-Level Dou Technique! A technique that can control the energy of heaven and earth to unleash powerful attacks! It's not something that can just be casually modified like some random technique!
Unfortunately, Yao Chen had already been stunned. A mere modification of an Earth-Level Dou Technique, fine, whatever! It wasn't like it was a newly created Earth-Level Dou Technique, after all. It was just using a different attribute of Dou Qi to successfully cast the same Earth-Level Dou Technique.
Normally, the Fire System's Flame-Splitting Ripple Slash couldn't be performed using other attributes of Dou Qi because it involved a complicated energy cycle and conflict. But Jiang Lin didn't use Fire System Dou Qi; he modified some of the weak Dou Qi data and managed to perform Water System's Break the Waves. These two techniques were not the same, and that was incredibly terrifying!
"Ah, sorry, I had a small epiphany and didn't control my power properly." The water mist slowly dissipated, and the Black Knight (Jiang Lin) gently withdrew his Unsharpened Heavy Sword, planting it into the ground. With a slightly apologetic tone, he looked at the somewhat dazed Xiao Yan, still crawling on the ground, and at Yao Chen, who remained silent, and said softly.
Xiao Yan: "…"
Yao Chen: "…"
Only Xiao Yi Xian smiled slightly, casting an admiring look at the Black Knight: "In terms of perception, Jiang Lin has always been outstanding!"
"Brother Lin… You can't fight like that!!" Xiao Yan looked sympathetically at his Black Flame Battle Armor, which was now covered in scratches, then looked up at Jiang Lin, who was effortlessly overwhelming him in combat. "The armor is scratched! How do I fix it? And I think your color is too dull. You should make it brighter."
"Dou Techniques aren't about being the strongest. You need to learn Dou Techniques that suit your combat style. You should learn some from the Yellow-Level and Mystic-Level, so you can adapt to different environments. Of course, unless you can perfect one technique and become unbeatable with that, then that works too."
Jiang Lin looked at Xiao Yan from a distance and began to demonstrate again while holding his heavy sword: "If you can master one ability completely, it can greatly increase your battle power. For example…"
Earth-Level Dou Technique: Break the Waves!
To the shock of Xiao Yan and the others, the Black Knight (Jiang Lin), holding his heavy sword filled with blue Water System Dou Qi, slowly swung his sword on the open ground. After every swing, a thick ocean-like wave of water followed, and as he continued to swing, a beautiful spray of blue water flowers appeared in the air. Behind his sword, the water curtain formed by the tsunami grew deeper, eventually even altering the surrounding environment!
Advance: Wave Layers!
Finally, Jiang Lin gently slashed the heavy sword into the ground. At that moment, a series of sounds like waves crashing reverberated, accompanied by the trembling ground!
"I used a little bit of the Eight Extremities Collapse's principle, but unfortunately, the energy is too wild and hard to control, so it's not yet suitable for real combat," Jiang Lin said as he looked at the petals and leaves that had been blown off the trees around them, letting out a small sigh.
