The saintess I possessed had a head full of nonsense.

Once turned off, the cooldown of [Blessing of Courage] and [Gravity Sword] is up to 3 minutes!

At this point, both sides had two spell seals firmly locked.

Only one spell seal remains that can be used flexibly.

In most cases, it's sufficient.

Jiang Yueyue can switch flexibly between the [Basic Sword] and the [Laurent's Mind's Eye Blade]. After all, when she uses the [Basic Sword], her body cannot assume a defensive stance. Without the limit on the number of spell seals, these spell seals are inherently conflicting!

The [Basic Sword] and [Wave Burst] are different forms. When using the [Basic Sword], if she needs to use the [Wave Burst], she can simply cancel the use of the [Basic Sword], since the cooldown is very short, and then instantly use the [Wave Burst]!

The mage's combat skills are not so "inflexible" as to be extremely frustrating.

But that's only in "most cases." What if you want to increase your output?

This time, during the possession, Jiang Yueyue's body gained an auxiliary spell mark called [Sharp Eye].

Sharp Eyes

Restriction: Power level must reach 5.3.

Effect: Every 10 seconds, a weakness of the enemy can be observed. When this weakness is exploited, spell power output is increased by 10%.

Having used [Blessing of Courage] and [Gravity Sword], and no longer able to use two spell seals simultaneously, Li Xuan couldn't possibly engage in a head-on clash with Zi Yanluo while activating [Sharp Eye]. In that case, Jiang Yueyue's spell power output would only be 133 points, losing the 115% coefficient bonus from [Basic Sword].

On the contrary, we ended up losing money.

Jiang Yueyue and Li Xuan were not the only sorcerers facing such a predicament; there were others as well.

Thus, the "Sword Without Limits" was created and inscribed in the "Wordless Sword Manual".

The essence of 【Sword Limitless】is that through an extremely high understanding of swordsmanship, the 【Gravity Sword】 spell seal no longer occupies a spell seal slot, and it also does not occupy a spell seal slot after it is used. This means that Jiang Yueyue's three spell seal slots are now only occupied by 【Blessing of Courage】!

This is one of the hand seals that you must master to become a powerful swordsman!

The current environment has ignited the talent of the Peerless Sword Maiden, and let's not forget that Jiang Yueyue is still in the burst period of her magic seal!

At this moment, Li Xuan drew his sword and stepped forward. Before Zi Yanlu could launch an attack, he fiercely struck the flaw observed by the Sharp Eye with the Sword Slash Technique from the Basic Sword!

He didn't use the [Laurent's Mind's Eye Blade] before because the battlefield was too dark; otherwise, the counterattack of the [Laurent's Mind's Eye Blade] might not have hit Ziyanluo.

He has now seen the flaw with his [Sharp Eye], but he still cannot use [Laurent's Mind's Eye Blade] because he knows that Ziyanluo is still toying with him.

If the opponent were an elderly sorcerer like Luns, who would hardly have any outstanding trump cards, Li Xuan would not hesitate to launch a strong counterattack. But the one he was facing now was a genius sorcerer.

This battle has only just begun.

【Sword Without Limits】is quite good, but I'm afraid it won't convince Xiao Chi and the bigwigs at Holy Sword University.

clang!

Zi Yanluo was enjoying the advantage that Jiang Yueyue could only stand there and take the beating, when suddenly her beautiful eyes widened and she hurriedly raised her sword to block. The sudden increase in her magical power caused her to be hit in the chest by her own sword, leaving a wound. As blood splattered, she staggered and quickly retreated backward.

"This...this is [Sword Without Limits]?!" Exclamations arose from the surrounding crowd of sorcerers.

The sorcerer could detect the fluctuations of the spell seals. Many people noticed that just a moment ago, Jiang Yueyue condensed a brand new spell seal, and then she used four spell seals in an instant. There was no other way but the [Sword Limitless] from the "Wordless Sword Scripture"!

"What a genius!!" someone murmured.

[Basic Sword], [Sword Limitless], [Wave Burst], [Blessing of Courage]—clearly, she needs to learn [Basic Sword] and obtain other spell seals before she can acquire the "Wordless Sword Manual".

"Could such a genius sorcerer really be the scheming Cinderella that people say she is?"

The sound of the sorcerers' discussion reached her ears, causing Zi Yanluo's pupils to turn into sharp vertical eyes as she stared intently at Jiang Yueyue.

Now it's not just a question of whether this battle was a scheming move by Jiang Yueyue to change public opinion; it's that Jiang Yueyue is using facts to slap their earlier speculations in the face, making them look incredibly clownish.

What's even more unacceptable is how she, a mere commoner, could suddenly become such a genius after keeping a low profile for over a month since the start of the school year.

It's one thing for you to be better than before, but how could you become this good?!

"Jealousy" is an inherent talent of green tea bitches. Zi Yanluo now only wants to defeat Jiang Yueyue severely, tell herself that this is not real, and prove that Jiang Yueyue was just lucky for a while!

"You think you can defeat me just because you've mastered [Sword Limitless]?" A cold smile appeared on Zi Yanluo's lips.

A powerful mage can analyze the effect of a spell sign the moment it is used, especially since she is the target of the spell sign's use; she has already detected the 10-second cooldown of [Sharp Eye].

In other words, she can only launch an attack once every 10 seconds. During these 10 seconds, no matter how fast Jiang Yueyue swings her sword, she is extremely passive. If she makes a mistake, she will be seriously injured. And such a mistake is very easy to make when she is passive.

This is the power of the Darkin Blade.

Of course, she can become even stronger.

She also has [Sword Without Limits].

The moment Zi Yanluo's sword tip lightly touched the ground, the ground seemed to transform into a dark, calm lake. A ripple quickly spread towards Jiang Yueyue's feet, and then suddenly exploded, with several dark tentacles wrapping around and binding Jiang Yueyue!

Darkness and terror!

Darkness Fear

Restriction: The enemy is currently under the effect of [Darkin Blade].

Effect: Causes the enemy to experience the illusion of being entangled by dark tentacles, lasting until the spell's power is depleted or the effect is manually canceled. Cooldown: 3 minutes.

"You've slowed down!"

Zi Yanluo drew her sword and launched her fiercest attack!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 39 Her Choice, Like Poison

"I've slowed down!"

Li Xuan looked at the four pitch-black tentacles wrapped around Jiang Yueyue's wrists and thighs, with blood seeping from the skin covered by the tentacles.

The bleeding was because Zi Yanluo's sword pierced through the tentacles and cut her skin. Even though they knew it was an illusion, Li Xuan and Jiang Yueyue's bodies still thought they were really entangled, causing their bodies to struggle against the tentacles and their movements to become slow!

The speed was sufficient because the Gravity Sword was too light. He was still in a defensive stance, and the "sword trajectory" was already shorter. However, due to the struggle with the tentacles, his magical output was affected!

Both wielded the [Basic Sword], increasing their damage coefficient to 115%. However, Li Xuan was completely suppressed. The rebound from his sword's collision and the follow-up slashes from his opponent's sword's collision continuously left wounds on Jiang Yueyue's body!

Li Xuan immediately knew that before the next opening appeared, he would inevitably be slashed by Zi Yanluo's sword with a huge wound that would affect his magical power output.

Therefore, he had to make a change.

Zi Yanluo's sword strike arrived at that moment.

Buzzing!

A surge of energy erupted!

The fact that Ziyanluo launched a close-range attack without any hesitation, despite the fact that the opponent already knew about the "wave burst" was enough to illustrate one thing—

She is not afraid.

But this was a situation where Li Xuan had no choice but to play his card.

boom!

A powerful shockwave erupted from Jiang Yueyue's body, completely engulfing Zi Yanluo and sending her flying!

"It's a wave burst!" Exclamations came from the surrounding area.

"She's just toughing it out?"

The flaws of the [Fluctuation Burst] have become apparent.

First, there is no weapon bonus. Second, it can directly send Ziyanlu flying, but the opponent's sword also negates a certain amount of the [Wave Burst]'s output. And there is an open space behind her. During her backward flight, she can completely output magic power to offset the impact!

As for the damage from being directly struck by the wave, it can cause some injury to a body that has been enhanced by magical power, but in most cases the effect is mediocre!

Once the subsequent impact is neutralized, the flaws of the "wave burst" become obvious.

But Jiang Yueyue's body turned into a blur and caught up in the next instant!

"What?! It's [Step Forward Slash]!" someone exclaimed.

Use the power feedback from [Wave Burst] to capture the approximate direction of Ziyanluo's backward flight, and then follow up with [Step Forward Slash]!

Sword-slaying technique!

Boom!

It cleaved through the air!

"Oh no! Jiang Yueyue acted impulsively!" Everyone saw it clearly.

As Zi Yanluo flew backward, she slashed the ground with her sword, changing the trajectory of her body and causing her to narrowly miss Jiang Yueyue's sword!

Your eyes are still blinded by the Darkin Blade, how could you be so impulsive?

"She won't have a chance if she doesn't make a move," someone said, shaking their head.

[Darkborn Sword] is too cheesy; this might be Jiang Yueyue's only chance.

At this moment, Jiang Yueyue has once again fallen into the situation of being punished by standing and being beaten.

"it's over!"

A cold smile appeared on Zi Yanluo's lips.

I thought it would be a brutal slaughter by the Darkborn Sword, but I didn't expect that the opponent could keep up with my attacks, and even condensed the magic seal [Sword Limitless] because of it.

She never expected that the other party would possess such a rare spell mark as [Sharp Eye], forcing her to activate [Dark Fear].

In reality, once [Dark Fear] is activated, regardless of whether Jiang Yueyue uses [Wave Burst] or not, he has already won.

If you don't open it, she will slowly torture and kill you.

Now that it's activated, she can use attack seals with a higher coefficient than the [Basic Sword], and in this state, Jiang Yueyue doesn't have [Wave Burst], so she will definitely be crushed by the difference in magical power!

As for whether Jiang Yueyue has an attack seal with a higher coefficient than the [Basic Sword]?

She believed there wasn't one, otherwise she would have used it as soon as she revealed the flaw.

Ultimate Sword Slash Technique!

This is an offensive seal with a damage coefficient as high as 125%!

Whoosh!

The sword energy tore through the air, emitting a terrifying whistling sound in the darkness, stinging the cheeks and making the pupils sting.

Li Xuan immediately knew that regardless of whether his counterattack could hit Zi Yanluo, he would have no choice but to use [Laurent's Mind's Eye Blade].
