The Absolute Godspeed of Infinite Worlds

Chapter 695 - 695

An expert reveals their skill with the first move.Kurogane Ouma's initial strike, delivered with him taking the lead, carried a force that strikingly approached that of Raikiri!

"This is his full power!"

In the spectator stands, Touka's expression was one of great alarm.

The very first strike, likely just a normal attack, actually rivaled her ultimate move, Raikiri?

Could the Sword Emperor of the Violent Wind's true strength really be this terrifying?

Touka unconsciously gripped the railing tightly, her heart flooded with shock.

Even though she had full confidence in her junior brother, she couldn't help but feel uneasy now.

"Don't worry, the kid is perfectly safe."

Nangou Torajirou's voice came from beside her.

The white-haired old man wore a serious expression, his eyes fixed intently on the battlefield.

On the field.

The moment the battle began, a supersonic wind blade compressed the atmosphere and came roaring toward them.

"Hmm..."

Eiji let out a soft hum.

His face showed no trace of panic; instead, it even revealed a hint of boredom.

"Smack!"

Then, he swung his hand out in a slap.

"Boom!"

The atmosphere trembled.

Air currents surged outward, sweeping toward the spectator stands and bringing with them a fierce, cool breeze.

"What... just happened? Did I just see him... wave his hand?"

"Yeah, you saw correctly. He really did wave his hand."

"What's going on? Old Man Kaieda? That wind blade was supersonic! Under normal circumstances, it shouldn't be possible for someone to shatter it barehanded, right?"

"Exactly as you said, this is not a normal circumstance."

The elderly voice from the commentary booth confirmed the suspicions of countless spectators.

"Barehanded? Shattered a supersonic wind blade?"

"How is that possible!"

"No, could the Judgement Thunder have misjudged?"

"Could it actually be true!"

Instantly, noisy discussions erupted all around the venue.

Tens of thousands of spectators had their nerves stirred by this high-level combat, their enthusiasm immediately doubling!

"In any case, let's just watch quietly."

From the Hagun Academy spectator seats, Nangou Torajirou also stopped his antics and spoke in a serious tone.

"...Yes."

Touka, along with Kanata Totokubara, Kurogane Shizuku, and the others, nodded with difficulty.

What's going on?

Just a few days apart?

Why has he become so strong it's like he's a different person?

"Since little junior brother is this strong now, does that mean we can eat him?"

Only Saikyo Nene's eyes were darting around, as if she was plotting something.

On the field.

Seeing the wind blade shattered by Eiji barehanded, even Kurogane Ouma was momentarily stunned.

He shattered his wind blade without even using his sword?

"Let's skip these boring tests, shall we? Show me what you mean by 'teaching me a lesson,' how about that?"

Eiji beckoned with his hand.

He raised his chin, adopting a provocative stance toward Kurogane Ouma.

Come on!

If you don't, I'll look down on you!

"Don't get cocky."

Kurogane Ouma's expression remained unchanged.

Only his eyes grew slightly more intense.

This guy's strength was undoubtedly worlds apart from what it had been just a week ago!

"In that case, I'll let you see it."

Kurogane Ouma's demeanor shifted, transforming from calm and composed to fiercely aggressive!

"Let me tell you something interesting. That sword style must have left a deep impression on you, but Twin-Wings isn't the only one who has reached that realm—I stepped into that realm long ago!"

He suddenly took a step, both feet pushing off violently.

Without a sound, his figure shot from his original position, charging straight forward at a speed invisible to the naked eye!

There was no acceleration process—full power from the very first instant!

Silent and without wasted energy!

Eiji's gaze sharpened.

This was undoubtedly the realm of Twin Wings Style!

Had Kurogane Ouma actually reached this realm long ago?

However—

Facing Kurogane Ouma's charge, Eiji showed no fear, meeting it head-on with equally silent yet intense footsteps!

"Clang!"

Their blades collided instantly!

Fast as lightning!

An ordinary person couldn't possibly follow the blades' movements—all they'd see were countless flashes of light appearing and vanishing.

The nodachi's blade was long, and Kurogane Ouma fully utilized his Device's advantage, swinging with wide-area sweeping strikes while the blade carried fierce winds. Every movement was accompanied by howling gales, creating overwhelming pressure!

But Eiji met it with his own blade, blocking the nodachi at his side while his sword light rippled like water, cleanly slicing through the wind as if popping a balloon.

His blade was so sharp even the wind couldn't react in time.

"Kyokujitsu Isshin-ryu! Extreme Hardness - Fire Thunder!"

Kurogane Ouma suddenly stepped forward.

His left hand formed a fist, delivering a heavy punch directly onto the blade!

Instantly, Eiji felt tremendous force transmit through his sword.

His arms trembled repeatedly.

So this is Extreme Hardness?

Eiji smiled faintly to himself, planting his feet firmly as his entire body became fluid and weightless.

The stone bricks beneath his feet cracked abruptly, yet Eiji hadn't retreated a single step.

Kurogane Ouma's eyes widened slightly.

Incredible force-dispersion technique!

"Hmph!"

Eiji snorted coldly.

He raised his left fist high, then punched his own blade.

Kurogane Ouma's expression changed slightly.

An enormous force suddenly transmitted through the blade, containing intense vibrating energy that forced him back several steps uncontrollably.

"You instantly learned my technique and improved upon it?"

Kurogane Ouma's expression tightened.

The force coming through the blade was far more complex than what he had delivered!

"In that case, how about this?"

Kurogane Ouma showed no discouragement, his gaze cold as winter wind.

"Kyokujitsu Isshin-ryu! Extreme Fury - Amatsukaze!"

He planted his feet firmly, taking a deep breath.

Suddenly, sword light surged forth like an avalanche!

In that instant, Kurogane Ouma abandoned thought.

He unleashed the sword techniques engraved in his body in continuous succession, completely bypassing his brain, relying entirely on bodily instinct!

Human instinct is far faster than thought!

The advantage of this approach was unleashing the most ferocious offensive possible!

One hundred eighty strikes total!

He had long engraved them into his body—by discarding thought, he could execute them instantly, delivering all one hundred eighty strikes like an avalanche within a single beat!

No ordinary swordsman could withstand such ferocious attacks.

"Clang!"

But suddenly.

Kurogane Ouma instinctively applied force, only to discover he couldn't continue his sword techniques.

His blade was stuck.

"Blades preset with fixed angles and power—even a fool could predict their trajectories!"

Eiji sneered incessantly, his blade perfectly blocking Kurogane Ouma's next sword strike.

Is that all?

Just this? Only this?

"Can this kind of move even be considered a combo? A true combo should be like this!"

"—Flowing Light and Radiant Colors!"

In the blink of an eye, countless blade lights covered the sky like a curtain!

Kurogane Ouma's expression sharpened, instinctively assuming a defensive stance.

His eyes locked onto Eiji's blade like radar, determined to block every single strike of the combo.

But the next moment, he discovered a fact that made him want to vomit blood!
