Chapter 528: Chapter 291: The Third Phase

"Azure Sky Stream—First Form: Source"

Over these past seven days, Lu Cang had officially standardized the names for all the forms in his style.

The original Magic Body Source Tempering was renamed Source.

It symbolized the foundation of all things—that Constitution was the basis of everything.

"Azure Sky Stream—Second Form: Split"

The Second Form was originally three different Kicking Skills: Melt Technique Dome-Breaking Kick, End of Dharma Vertical Slash, and Gathering Technique Elemental Break.

But in summary, these Kicking Skills were primarily a means of inflicting concussive damage.

Through his battles during this period, Lu Cang had revised the Second Form once again.

Although it still mostly consisted of Kicking Skills, it was different from the previous version of the Second Form.

The Third Form, however, kept its previous name. ’Illusion Strike is Illusion Strike,’ he thought. ’There’s no need to obsess over single-character names.’

However, besides its basic form, Illusion Strike also had several variations.

These included Illusion Strike·Chaotic Shadow Shattering Dragon, Illusion Strike·Dragon Annihilation Attack, Illusion Strike·Dragon-Slaying Torrential Rain, and Illusion Strike·Rapid String.

Chaotic Shadow Shattering Dragon was the advanced version of the basic form, boasting greater Power and more chaotic shadows.

Dragon Annihilation Attack was a high-Power Combat Skill that condensed the multiple strikes of Illusion Strike into a single, explosive blow.

Dragon-Slaying Torrential Rain transformed the originally instantaneous burst of Illusion Strike into a prolonged, continuous stream of even more strikes.

And Rapid String was pure Speed, evolving Illusion Strike to its absolute limit and unleashing it in an instant!

The Fourth Form, Void,

had also been developed into variations like Instant Void and Shadowless Illusion Flash.

The Fifth Form, Bunch, wasn’t used often. He had discovered in combat that enemies who could be restrained by it usually didn’t require a Combat Skill to be restrained in the first place. As for those who couldn’t, it was better to just punch them a few more times than to try and trap them.

After seven days of research,

Lu Cang gradually changed the fundamental concept of this Combat Skill.

"Fifth Form: Lock"

Every enemy had its source of power. For a Mage, it was Magic Power; for a Warrior, Qi and Blood. According to the principles of life, everything has a source.

If he could lock down these sources, his enemies would be unable to exert their power.

Therefore, this Combat Skill was designed to seal an opponent’s source of power. In a prolonged battle, the longer an enemy was struck by him, the more of their energy would be consumed.

He, on the other hand, grew stronger over time.

In a battle of attrition, he would have the upper hand.

The Sixth Form, Extreme,

had evolved variations such as Extreme·Piercing Dragon and Extreme·Final Kill.

Piercing Dragon was a purely physical technique, converting all Magic Power into physical strength. During his recent battles, he had also incorporated elements of Soul Sacrifice and instantaneous Potion Enhancement.

It was the ultimate physical strike.

As for Final Kill, it was a pure finishing move. It involved pre-storing multiple powerful magic spells within the form, which would all be unleashed in the final instant.

Its Power was far greater than the original Extreme, which only stored a single magic spell.

"Seventh Form·Illusion"

This form involved the Core of All Things. The bodies of his avatars now possessed various properties, such as Melting Sacred Flame and Body-Penetrating Stinging Water.

But other than that, there were no other significant changes.

"Eighth Move·Movement"

This had evolved into variations such as Movement·Dragon Slaying Technique, Movement·Uninterrupted Kick, and Movement·Instantaneous Pause.

Dragon Slaying was a Combat Skill that allowed him to maintain continuous attacks while moving at extreme speeds.

Uninterrupted Kick transformed this Body Technique into a purely offensive move, unleashing an incredibly fast series of Kicking Skills in an instant.

Instantaneous Pause involved charging power while stationary, then exploding with Speed even faster than a normal use of Movement upon acting.

These were the changes to Lu Cang’s eight Combat Skills.

Besides spawning numerous variations, the basic effects of these eight Combat Skills had also undergone many changes. Compared to before, they could now more perfectly unleash the full extent of Lu Cang’s power.

Seven days passed.

Lu Cang had a faint feeling that he would soon be leaving this world.

Although chaos was difficult to predict, and the effectiveness of Divination on it was nothing short of catastrophic, he still had a strong intuitive sense about imminent events.

BZZZ—

Just as Lu Cang was asking Yukelyn a crucial question about a new Potion,

he felt the entire world freeze once again.

"Heroes from different times and spaces, who have saved worlds from dire peril..."

"Some of you have succeeded, and some have failed."

"Regret always accompanies this world."

"Even if one knowingly returns to that point in Time to prevent a future regret, it is difficult to change what is to come."

"Such is the fickleness of Destiny!"

Aigemisa’s tone had changed completely from before, becoming as melancholic as a scholar lamenting the autumn. Except, it was lamenting Destiny.

BZZZ!

There was no chance to say goodbye!

The entire Space suddenly contracted, compressed—

BANG!

The world shattered in an instant. After passing through the broken Void, Lu Cang found himself back in the familiar plaza.

Looking around,

he saw that only eight people remained in the plaza, including himself.

Kumironi, Yelieya, and Rhine were all there, surprisingly.

The others were Luo Yan of the Dark Church, a short Summoner, a half-man half-goat Blacksmith, and, unbelievably, Adela—the defeated general who had already lost twice.

’Man, how are you still standing here?’

’Truly incredible, especially since you’re so weak...’

As for Kumironi being here, Lu Cang wasn’t surprised.

In truth, Kumironi’s combat prowess remained a mystery to him, because he had never fought her, not even in the Future Preview.

There were too many others to fight.

Besides, even in a preview, Lu Cang still couldn’t bring himself to attack Kumironi.

’To be honest, I have no pressing reason to find out her combat strength anyway. It’s fine even if Kumironi is just a simple Healer who isn’t good at fighting.’

"Mmm~"

"You have each completed your missions."

"Even the smallest action can create a brief vortex in the long river of History."

"Of course, rest assured, this was merely a simulation."

"Because not even I can easily alter the past and the Future, especially not over such trivial matters."

’Heh. A moment ago, it was a regret for the entire world, and now it’s a trivial matter?’

’Then again, there are too many accidents in this world, and countless regrets...’

"However, there is another matter recently that is not so trivial."

"Perhaps you have heard whispers of it."

"This matter is a regret that has not yet come to pass. I wonder if you all might be interested... in taking part."

"Hehe, just kidding."

"Even if you aren’t interested, you must enter this third stage."
