Chapter 334: What True Wind Element Power Is!

After confirming everything.

Feng Cangqiong put away his smile, turned his head to look at Lin Mo, and said seriously:

"Lin Mo, listen carefully from now on."

"Among all the elements."

"Fire is the most violent, Thunder represents destruction, Ice commands absolute control, and Earth has the strongest defense."

"And Wind."

Feng Cangqiong paused for a moment.

His pair of dull eyes suddenly flashed with a glint of sharp light.

"Wind is the ultimate sharpness."

"It is the ultimate cutting!"

"Wind can gently brush the face, but when compressed to the extreme, it can cut through space!"

"Nothing it cannot sever!"

"Nothing it cannot destroy!"

Feng Cangqiong intensified his tone.

"It's not like what you think, only good for casting a wind wall or using it to grease your feet and run away."

Hearing these words.

Lin Mo awkwardly rubbed his nose.

He had been called out.

But Old Man Feng's words were indeed not wrong.

After all, the skills Little Wind had comprehended so far were indeed all focused on survival.

Feng Cangqiong did not dwell on this topic any further.

He turned around, facing that giant wooden stake.

"Today, what I am going to demonstrate to you is the highest-tier strongest move within the Wind element..."

"Sky-Splitting Wind Blade!"

Hearing the name of this skill.

Lin Mo raised his eyebrows slightly.

Good heavens.

A wind blade capable of splitting the sky!

Just hearing the name made it feel overwhelmingly powerful.

Feng Cangqiong continued speaking:

"Sky-Splitting Wind Blade, as the name suggests."

"Forcefully compress the wind element, abandoning wide-area coverage to pursue only a single point..."

"One strike splits the sky, ultimate cutting!"

As Feng Cangqiong spoke these words, he suddenly remembered something.

He turned his head and looked at Yan Lie, who was standing aside silently acting as an audience.

"Yan Lie."

Feng Cangqiong called out.

"Old Man Feng, I'm here."

Yan Lie quickly responded.

"I recall you learned this move three months ago."

"To be honest, your Wind element talent is passable, barely."

As Feng Cangqiong spoke, he pointed to a ten-meter-tall giant wooden stake in the distance.

"Go ahead."

"Just today we have the chance."

"Let me see how well you have practiced this move over these three months."

Hearing these words.

Yan Lie's face instantly stiffened.

"Ah?"

"Old Man Feng, this..."

"My main cultivation is the Fire element..."

"Although I know this high-tier Wind skill, my proficiency is truly average..."

"I'd better not make a fool of myself..."

Sweat broke out on Yan Lie's forehead.

Although he was a Dual-Element Fire-Wind Archmage.

His main cultivation was still the Fire element.

The Wind element is an extremely micro-operation-heavy category; he simply did not have the energy to delve into dual-element cultivation.

Being able to cultivate the Wind element to the Archmage realm as well.

Was already considered genius.

But even among high-tier Wind skills, different levels of study and different proficiency levels result in vastly different effects when released.

He hadn't practiced it much at all over these three months...

"Where'd all this nonsense come from?"

Feng Cangqiong's eyes bulged.

"If I tell you to cast it, cast it!"

"What, after getting taught a lesson by Lin Mo, you can't even cast a skill anymore?"

Scolded like this by Feng Cangqiong.

Yan Lie shrank his neck and quickly put on an apologetic smile.

"Yes, yes, yes…"

"I'll cast it, I'll cast it right now."

Yan Lie let out a helpless sigh.

He glanced at Lin Mo and emphasized:

"Lin Mo, let me say this first — what I use definitely won't be as good as Feng-lao's, probably not even a tenth of his power… don't laugh at me later."

Lin Mo nodded and said seriously:

"Don't worry, I've had professional training."

……

Yan Lie took a deep breath.

He walked forward a few steps, then stopped, his gaze fixed dead on the giant wooden stake in the distance, his eyes growing sharp.

The pressure of a dual-element Archmage faintly emanated.

Yan Lie raised his hand, and a staff appeared in his grasp.

The next moment.

The surrounding air began to flow slowly, visible to the naked eye.

Cyan wind elements madly converged toward the staff.

The glow grew brighter and brighter.

From the air came faint, sharp scraping sounds, like a blade cutting through glass.

As the cyan light converged to its peak.

Yan Lie suddenly gripped the staff and swung it forward.

Hum—!

A cyan wind blade compressed to the extreme, like a straight cyan thread, instantly tearing the air.

At astonishing speed, it shot explosively toward the giant wooden stake ahead.

Boom—!!!

A muffled, tremendous crash.

The cyan thread viciously slashed into the giant wooden stake!

The violent wind elements exploded the instant they made contact.

Transforming into countless tiny wind blades, madly cutting into the stake's surface.

Wood chips flew everywhere!

Crack crack crack—

The storm dispersed.

Everything returned to calm.

Lin Mo raised his eyes to look.

He saw only a very deep gash left on the giant wooden stake.

That gash cut a full third of the way into the stake!

But.

That was all.

The stake still stood firm, uncut.

That wind blade strike was like chopping into hard steel, stuck halfway in, its power finally exhausted and dissipating into nothing.

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow.

That's it?

Can't even cut through this stake?

If he remembered correctly, a stake of this level wouldn't last a second in the hands of Xiao Huo, Xiao Lei, and the others.

A bit underwhelming…

In the skill bar.

【Wind Blade Art】 blinked its innocent big eyes, its expression a little confused.

【"Huh?"】

【"Seems… it didn't cut through?"】

Xiao Feng's soft, sweet voice carried a trace of puzzlement.

【"Second Brother, is this the ultimate cut?"】

【Earth Shield Art】 hadn't even had time to speak.

【Fireball Art】 was the first to let out a burst of mockery.

【"This is killing me!"】

【"That's it?"】

【"This is what you call the ultimate cut? Are you scraping here?"】

Hearing Xiao Huo sneered repeatedly.

【"Wind element?"】

【"If this is the power of high-grade Wind element, then I say this Wind element is useless."】

【"Little Five, listen to your big brother."】

【"If this is all the damage you can do, you might as well sit at the same table as Little Two."】

【"Don't come out and make a fool of yourself."】

Hearing Hearing Xiao Huo's merciless mockery.

"Earth Shield Technique" immediately became displeased.

【"Hey hey hey!"】

【"Big Brother, what do you mean by that?"】

Hearing Xiao Tu mustered his courage and retorted loudly.

【"So what if we sit at the same table?"】

【"Me and Little Wind are support elements! Do you understand support elements?!"】

Hearing Xiao Tu spoke with righteous confidence.

【"Our strength is protection!"】

【"What does it matter if our damage is low? As long as we protect the Master, it's a good skill!"】

Saying this.

Hearing Xiao Tu turned his head to look at Hearing Xiao Huo and comforted him earnestly:

【"Little Five, ignore what Big Brother says."】

【"We don't care about that pathetic damage."】

【"Just focus on casting shields and speed buffs for the Master—that's the real work!"】

【"Understood?"】

Hearing Xiao Huo was left stunned by his second brother's words.

【"Oh…"】

【"Little Wind understands."】

……

Outside.

Feng Cangqiong stared at the wooden post, only one-third of which had been cut in.

His brows knitted tightly.

He shook his head in disappointment and sighed.

"Yan Lie, Yan Lie."

Feng Cangqiong looked at Yan Lie with exasperation.

"Your Wind element…"

"It's an embarrassment to the Wind element! All show, no substance!"

Feng Cangqiong delivered his blunt critique:

"Your Wind essence is too scattered!"

"It's not compressed nearly enough!"

"And at the moment of release, the power already leaks out."

"At least thirty percent of your power is wasted into the air!"

Feng Cangqiong said sternly:

"I know your main affinity is Fire element, and your high-grade Fire techniques are well-trained."

"But as a dual-element Law King,"

"Can your Wind element really lag behind this much?"

"In a battle against an equal-level opponent, what use is this move besides giving someone a gentle massage?"

"When you return, you'd better seriously study your Wind element!"

"Don't turn a good skill into trash!"

Feng Cangqiong was furious.

As the Wind Element Supreme, he could not bear to see a proper Wind element reduced to this state.

Yan Lie's face flushed crimson at being publicly scolded by Feng Cangqiong.

He shamefully lowered his head.

"Yes, Master Feng…"

"I will study it seriously…"

Yet.

Yan Lie felt bitter inside.

What could he do?

His Fire element talent was naturally high—he used it easily, and its damage was explosive.

Wind element, requiring such extreme precision and finesse, was truly difficult for him to master.

……

After scolding Yan Lie,

Feng Cangqiong turned his head toward Lin Mo.

"Lin Mo."

"Do not be misled by Yan Lie."

"The Wind Element is not this useless."

"What happened just now was a complete example of how not to do it."

"That is the typical level of a half-baked practitioner who learned only the form but failed to comprehend the spirit."

Feng Cangqiong turned his head to look at another intact giant wooden post not far away.

"Today,"

"I, this old man, will demonstrate for you personally what true Wind Element mastery is."
