Chapter 623 Lightning Sprite
Ryu felt that this technique was perfect. It was a Mystical Grade technique of the Ice Phoenix Clan. It emphasized great qi control.
The truth was that Ryu didn't have enough Nodes to use this technique and it would be useless to execute it with his soul considering it was ant to build up montum for him with his body. However, this didn't matter to Ryu as he could use his unique ridians to make up for the deficit.
The reason why this technique required a minimum number of Nodes was due to the innate danger in using it. Before even getting to the technique, there were several warnings within the jade piece advising against those without confidence against using it.
This technique required one to control the flow of an enemy's qi into your body to store it and use in an explosive counterattack at the perfect mont. This usually required a minimum number of ridian Nodes because any less would rupture one's ridians even with perfect control, let alone less than perfect.
But… Why would Ryu have to worry about this issue with his Chaotic Silk ridians? After connecting the Chaos Plane, it was even more difficult to tear than it had been in the past. Ryu wasn't worried in the slightest about suffering damage especially considering the current strength of his body.
'Since it will synergize best with fist techniques I guess I'll pick out a few. I'll master [Fist Basic Stances] first. Then I'll supplent it with two Heaven Grade techniques…'
Ryu's current ridian Nodes could only sustain up to a Middle Heaven Grade technique. Unfortunately, he couldn't cheat in this aspect because the circulation pathways in this respect would be what gave strength to the technique. But, a Heaven Grade technique was still great.
Ryu chose two techniques with ease. [Imperial Fist] and [Roaring Seal Fist]. The forr was excellent for raw power output while the second was more technical. [Roaring Seal Fist] had many countering stances within it and was adept at forcing an enemy into a corner to the point it would feel as though they were running into your fist rather than the vice versa.
Before moving on, Ryu even chose another Middle Heaven Grade technique in [Vacuous Palm]. His grandmother had always like this technique and he had even seen her use it during the last day of his first life so he was feeling a bit nostalgic.
'Now I just need a movent technique and Elental techniques to supplent my Bloodlines…'
Ryu had visions of becoming an explosive close combat expert. That would require not only speed, judgent, and reaction ti, but he wanted to take the best advantage of his fire and lightning affinity. There was no doubt that not only were fire and lightning the most powerful of the Elents due to what they represented, but they also happened to have the greatest offensive power.
As for defense, Ryu wasn't worried about this. What was better than the combination of his [Immortal Sakura] and [Divine Chaotic Annihilation]?
Ryu set aside the thought of finding a explosive Elental techniques for now and instead decided to choose a movent technique. It would be greatly important to how he would utilize his combat style and it most definitely had to make use of his Spirit Bodies.
Just as Ryu was about to beginning checking through the techniques within the crystalline jade and the ones his Ice Phoenix Clan had gathered, he suddenly sensed Ailsa before him, causing him to open his eyes and smile. If it was anyone else interrupting him at this ti, he would probably have been a bit annoyed. But, his treatnt of Ailsa was clearly different from most people.
Ailsa smiled sweetly, seemingly understanding Ryu's thoughts even though he didn't think them out so blatantly.
"For your movent technique, I think you should use one from an Elental Faerie race. Naly, the Lightning Sprites."
"Oh?" Ryu blinked.
"Mm. My Cultus Clan actually has a backlog of techniques from all Faerie Clans, even the Quibus and Ficia Faeries. Its just that most of these techniques are not suited to humans so I've never bothered to teach you any. But, this movent technique and potentially so of their offensive techniques might be good for you."
Ryu nodded. He trusted Ailsa's judgnt.
"This technique is known as the [Lightning Divine Mark]. It's a quasi Visualization type technique. It allows you to spread Divine Marks throughout a battlefield and almost instantaneously appear at their location.
"I couldn't give you this technique before because it deconstructs your soul as well to allow the fastest movent. But, your Spirit Body wasn't this perfect in the past. In addition, there's a high requirent for both soul talent and soul durability, things humans usually don't have.
"But right now, it should be perfect for you. If you synergize this technique with your Storm Talent, the results would be even more devastating."
Ryu smiled and nodded. As for Ailsa, she smirked a bit mischievously.
"There used to a be a Prince of the Lightning Sprites that pursued when I was younger. They said he was the greatest prodigy in using this technique to ever be born. In fact, I think that little Faerie we t in Osiris might be related to him."
Ryu's gaze narrowed, but Ailsa didn't seem to notice, her smile becoming brighter.
"He once told that even if I was hidden behind Heaven's curtain, so long as he Marked , he would be there so long as I called his na."
Sparks of violet lightning coursed through Ryu's eyes, electrifying his silver irises.
Ailsa giggled. "He was able to sustain six Divine Marks back then as an Immortal Ring expert. By now, he might already be able to sustain ten or eleven, close to the perfect 12. I wonder what he's doing these days?"
Ryu's gaze suddenly cald, a sinister grin spreading across his face.
"Prodigy? Has there ever been a person who dares to call themselves such a thing before ?"
Ryu was suddenly very eager to flip this technique on its head.
