The moment the final sword move ended, a crisp sound of shattering glass suddenly came from the ground.
Countless Crystal Blade pillars pierced up from underground, gushing towards the sky like ice-blue moonlight.
Skirk looked at the small space where his toes lightly touched, the entire ground had transformed into a prism, with countless Crystal Blades reflecting the sky's light.
The Crystal Blades split the mortal world into thousands of sharply angled worlds.
Skirk subconsciously tightened his grip on the sword hilt.
"I didn't expect that just this child's words would elevate my strength to another level."
"This way, the chance of defeating that guy has increased by another point."
At this moment.
Feeling the unique cool touch of the Crystal Blade in his palm, it was like holding flowing moonlight.
The Abyssal Power that once required deliberate guidance now surged through his meridians as naturally as breathing.
Skirk gently wielded the Crystal Blade.
The trajectory of crystal dust stirred up by the blade's slight turn suddenly became incredibly clear in Skirk's eyes, as if he could see the dance of every dust particle in the wind.
In Skirk's mind.
Lu Li's sword moves he had just demonstrated reappeared!
Practice again.
Skirk once again soared into the air.
The air suddenly let out a sharp cry like a snapping Strings! This time, Skirk leaped even higher than before!
A series of Crystal Blades appeared beneath Skirk, forming a crystal prism, which presented a cold beauty, with each prism reflecting Skirk's soaring figure.
It was as if millions of parallel selves were awakening simultaneously.
Then.
All the crystal prisms beneath Skirk converged into a larger moon wheel than before!
The moment Skirk reached the critical height of his jump!
The moon wheel condensed behind Skirk suddenly bloomed with clear radiance, and the Crystal Blades that had previously scattered across the earth.
At this moment, all transformed into star rings orbiting the moon.
Skirk chuckled as he fell.
The whistling wind in his ears was mixed with the faint sounds of crystals growing, Skirk's figure fell from high altitude, and the bright moon forged from Crystal Blades behind him shattered!
Immediately after, the shattered moon transformed into a rain of swords pouring down from the sky.
Countless Crystal Blades combined into sharp crystal swords, reflecting a cold, chilling light, the sword light poured down like a galaxy, and every inch of air hummed with a trembling sound under the cutting of the blades.
"This is the sword that illuminates all rivers in the mortal world, creates and destroys at will, and is omnipresent."
Skirk silently recited in his heart.
When the sword light struck down.
A new moon appeared behind Skirk, illuminating with dazzling light simultaneously with the moon wheel on the ground.
Lu Li looked up, feeling that this sword move was very beautiful.
The sword move Lu Li performed for Skirk was to steal a ray of moonlight, but at this moment, Skirk transformed into the moon, making the entire sky overturn for him.
Looking at Skirk's sword moves, he felt it had the elegance of Jingliu, the Sword Champion of the Xianzhou.
Now.
Skirk could feel that the crystal sword in his hand was no longer just a weapon, but an extension of his will.
With every breath, the blade trembled slightly; with every heartbeat, the Crystal Blade would resonate with it.
He suddenly understood the true meaning of Lu Li's words.
"When the sword reaches its peak, it does not cut external objects, but cuts oneself."
Now, Skirk has cut away hesitation, cut away limitations, cut away attachment to moves. At this moment, he is no longer confined by form, but truly achieved the unity of man and sword!
Skirk's toes lightly touched the Akasha.
He borrowed strength again during his descent, his figure spiraling like a swallow, the Crystal Blade flowing with his will, drawing countless azure arcs in the air, like moonlight ink splashing.
With a flick of his wrist.
The crystal sword suddenly disintegrated, turning into fragments like fireflies scattered across the sky.
The next instant, all the fragments re-condensed in his palm, the sword body thinner and sharper than before, almost transparent like a sliver of sky light.
The sword fell, the moon set.
It was as if the entire earth was silently split in two by the sharp edge.
It's over.
As Skirk finished practicing his sword, a familiar voice came from Lu Li's mind.
[You witnessed Skirk's unity of man and sword, gained a deeper understanding of sword intent, comprehended the ultimate meaning of swordsmanship, and created Myriad Swords Return to One!]
[All swords in the world will be at your command]
In an instant.
A grand sword intent instantly merged into Lu Li's body, and Lu Li felt he had a brand new understanding of the sword as a weapon.
Looking at the crystal sword in Skirk's hand.
Lu Li felt that with just a thought, he could penetrate the crystal sword in Skirk's hand.
However.
Lu Li's body was still small now, otherwise Lu Li would be able to control Skirk's sword and make it his own.
Skirk walked over to Lu Li.
Looking at Lu Li.
Skirk was surprised to find that Lu Li, at this moment, exuded a sharp aura in every gesture.
Like a human sword, incredibly sharp.
Such an aura.
Skirk had only seen it on his master, Teltrochi, but this aura was the confidence of a strong person, and Teltrochi possessing this aura perfectly fit his persona as a strong individual.
But Lu Li.
The entire person was now just a five-month-old infant, possessing such an aura was really quite a contrast.
Thinking of the comparison between the two, Skirk couldn't help but smile.
Skirk was surprised to find that ever since he found Lu Li in this Abyss, the smiles on his face seemed to have increased.
And the speed of becoming stronger also increased!
Skirk originally needed at least another two and a half years of practice to enter his current realm.
But Lu Li's few words of guidance allowed him to enter his current realm!
Skirk twirled a strand of his hair.
He asked himself.
"Did I... take on a disciple or find a master?"
Skirk suddenly thought of a possibility.
Could Lu Li be a Descender?!
In Teyvat.
Descenders refer to outsiders of the Teyvat continent who possess a status or power comparable to a world.
That is to say, not all outsiders are Descenders.
Like Skirk himself, he is currently just a stowaway.
Every Descender possesses a status or power that transcends the world, capable of protecting or destroying it.
At the same time.
Descenders are not recorded by Irminsul, nor are they bound by Irminsul's world laws.
However, Skirk looked at Lu Li's tiny infant body and quickly dismissed this idea.
Skirk thought.
His disciple should just be a child with outstanding Talents, and also belongs to the ranks of stowaways.
When Skirk stowed away to Teyvat, it was Alice who guided him.
"Alice might know the origin of this child, I'll ask him when I see him later..."
After he finished thinking.
Skirk handed an old sword that Ajax had used to Lu Li.
"You think I can pick it up?"
Lu Li's hands were very small now, he couldn't hold the sword at all.
