Wizard: Starting from the Skill Tree-Chapter 590: Combat Techniques

After Duke exchanged two breathing techniques, he spent two thousand contribution points.

With the remaining contribution points, he exchanged for several crystals bearing high-level combat skill inheritance, marked with strict teaching restrictions. These combat skills are powerful arts that a First-level Knight can truly master.

First is the Blazing Sun Slash, which can highly compress and transmute one’s fighting spirit, simulating the intense heat and destructive attributes of a micro solar core.

The slash not only possesses terrifying physical cutting power but also carries extreme high temperature and sun scorching effects, capable of continually eroding the opponent’s fighting spirit defenses and body, and significantly subduing and damaging energy bodies and spiritual bodies.

Next is the Flowing Shadow Dodging Step from the body technique category. When performed, fighting spirit forms a special energy circuit beneath the feet, enabling the practitioner to execute short-distance, inertia-defying bizarre dodges, leaving behind faint energy reactions, enough to confuse spiritual perception.

With advanced mastery, one can even make flash-like movements within a small range, serving as an excellent technique for advancing, evasion, and creating attack blind spots.

Following that is a high-level combat skill known as Thousand Overlapping Waves Strike, an extremely profound technique for force exertion and fighting spirit control.

Its core lies in stacking force; each attack is not the end of power but a concealment and accumulation of part of the force, like a hidden current, directing it into the next attack.

Theoretically, it can stack infinitely, but with each additional stack, the physical load and fighting spirit control requirements rise geometrically.

Upon successfully stacking multiple layers, the final outbreak of power is earth-shattering, like the mighty waves in a tsunami, possessing terrifying penetrating power and destructive force capable of demolishing any defense.

Lastly, there’s the defensive Immortal Bastion, which consolidates fighting spirit to form an incredibly solid energy barrier, seemingly eternal.

This barrier not only has strong physical and energy resistance but also contains a trace of immortal characteristics. When broken, it can absorb part of the impact energy and instantly convert it into a small-scale, indiscriminate fighting spirit shockwave, disrupting nearby follow-up attacks and granting the practitioner valuable time for a breather or counterattack.

After carefully storing these powerful high-level combat skills and two breathing techniques into his Space Ring, Duke left the Knight Hall with satisfaction.

Any of these combat skills, when spread, are enough to become the crown treasure of a small knight family, yet now they are effortlessly in his pocket.

After leaving the Knight Hall, Duke checked into a small inn in Torch City, selecting a relatively secluded room.

Duke set up a portable Witch Array for defense and anti-peeping, then entered the Light God Court.

In an instant, his figure slowly faded in the room, as if merging into the void.

The scene before him suddenly opened up, no longer the confines of the inn but a vibrant, vast, and holy world.

There was no sun in the sky, yet it naturally exuded soft and bright light like eternal dawn. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Beneath his feet stretched land seemingly formed from the most fertile soil mingled with pure light energy, and afar, lush vegetation-covered hills undulated in the light green mist of life energy.

The air was thick with almost tangible life energy, causing every cell in his body to rejoice, with even his spiritual power gaining a slight nourishment and soothing.

This was the Light God Court, an area nearing five thousand square kilometers, a Plane prototype rapidly evolving with Spring of Life and World Tree Seed as its core.

Duke’s figure appeared near the Spring of Life at the center of the godly court.

The spring’s scale had increased several times, its clear water emitting a sacred golden glow within the green light, forming a gentle pillar of light.

At the deep end of the spring, the World Tree Seed floated slowly like top-grade jade, covered in complex life pattern engravings, its inner aura circulating, emitting a naive consciousness of satisfaction and desire.

Duke thought of something, and the Eye Crystal left by the eye demon appeared in his hand.

In his own Plane with uniquely different rules, he held absolute control, free from unexpected threats.

The Eye Crystal exposed in the life energy-rich environment of the Light God Court immediately reacted differently compared to the outside.

Instead of being intensely suppressed and scorched as under the Holy Light, it seemed submerged in a gentle yet vast ocean of energy.

The mist inside the crystal shifted rapidly at first, appearing flustered, but soon calmed and became orderly.

The instinctive desire to absorb spiritual power subsided, soothed and guided by the surrounding gentle yet potent life energy, becoming less aggressive.

Suspended mid-air, Duke held the crystal in his palm, carefully sensing the peculiar changes.

With spiritual power’s deep probing, his understanding of the crystal became extraordinarily clear and profound.

The structure of its spiritual power absorption revealed itself, a highly efficient and concealed energy channel far surpassing ordinary spiritual power theft techniques.

In the Light God Court, Duke completed initial research on the nightmare demon’s Eye Crystal.

He meticulously recorded observed energy changes, structural evolution, and reactions of spiritual power and life energy upon it on thick parchment sheets.

These unique materials might spawn new research directions or magic concepts in the future.

After repeated probing and guiding in different energy environments, Duke confirmed the Eye Crystal’s most core, stable value: the highly condensed and stable Spiritual Origin within it.

This Spiritual Origin, derived from the soul essence and spiritual power devoured by the eye demon, enriched with additional spiritual power, had undergone violent purification by the Light Judgment and gentle sorting by the Light God Court’s life energy, stripping away most of its madness, pollution traits, and Nightmare Plane’s chaotic imprint, leaving pure, absorbable spiritual force.

This should increase his spiritual power a lot, so it shouldn’t be wasted.

Sitting cross-legged by the spring head, on grass akin to emerald jade, he held the Eye Crystal, which subtly revealed green streaks within its dark purple hue.

Breathe in deeply, allowing rich life energy into his lungs, placing his Spiritual Sea in its most active and peaceful state.

Without hesitation, he placed the pigeon-egg-sized crystal into his mouth.

The moment it entered, it didn’t transform into a solid, but instead acted as though alive, directly turning into a cold and heavy fluid, plunging down his throat. Its target was not his stomach but seemingly transcended material barriers, directly merging into his mind.
