The blade of the Edge of the Moon flashed with light, and the aura of full power erupted suddenly without being used, wrapping around the blade in a flickering dance of brightness and darkness.
Upon closer inspection of the blade's edge, there was a phenomenon resembling flames burning in the air, creating a sense of spatial distortion around the entire sword.
“Seal: Flame Blade.”
Ye Zhongming held his breath and suddenly swung the sword towards the empty ground with all his might.
A red light burst forth from the Edge of the Moon, connecting directly to the ground. This red light seemed to paint, instantly drawing a quarter of a circle centered around Ye Zhongming's hand!
Boom!
The ground, originally a lush green lawn, now turned into a small stone road, all ignited under the strike, with flames soaring to three or four meters high, illuminating half the neighborhood.
The flames appeared quickly and disappeared just as fast. In merely a second, the fire vanished, leaving behind a pitch-black area where everything that had burned—the grass and the stone path—was reduced to ashes, leaving only a three-meter-long, one-meter-deep crack!
It looked as if a mini abyss had been carved into the ground.
Ye Zhongming was deeply shocked by this strike.
In his previous life, he was also a swordsman and had progressed from an apprentice to an intermediate level, possessing several combat skills. However, even the skills that later emerged paled in comparison to the Flame Blade. It could be said that, without considering the power differences caused by the gap in strength and skills between six-star evolvers and one-star evolvers, this strike was enough to crush all the skills of swordsmen from his past life!
Even if all factors were taken into account, Ye Zhongming estimated that this strike had about half the power of his full effort from his previous life.
Although it was only half, it was essential to note that in his past life he was a six-star evolver, while now he was merely a one-star! The difference between the two was immense.
In other words, when Ye Zhongming becomes a two-star or three-star evolver, this strike's power might very well rival that of his six-star self from his previous life.
Ye Zhongming understood very clearly what this concept entailed.
The profession of radiant seal blade master essentially combined two roles into one.
One is the seal master, and the other is the swordsman.
The seal master utilizes mental power to manifest seals externally through special means, unleashing various abilities inherent to the seal itself.
Naturally, swordsmen need no introduction; Ye Zhongming is one himself, and he knows that there were over twenty such professionals in his past life.
The radiant seal blade master, however, inscribes seals onto the sword to unleash greater power, making it very unique.
Because the seal cannot exert power on its own, it must be manifested through the sword as a medium.
Ye Zhongming had never heard of the profession of seal master, but he was aware of similar vocations, such as fist seal masters and finger seal masters. However, due to the limited number of practitioners and their somewhat niche nature, being less powerful, Ye Zhongming had little knowledge about them.
What he did know was that the fist seal masters and finger seal masters attacked using seals directly through their bodily parts, like fists and fingers.
In this respect, the profession he now possessed could not perform the same way.
The skills of the radiant seal blade master are divided into two parts: one is the sealing method, and the other is the sword technique.
The sealing method teaches how to create seals, while the sword technique teaches how to wield the sword.
For instance, Ye Zhongming has just acquired this profession and is a novice radiant seal blade master. The entire professional system has two branches; the first sealing method currently grants him the skill 'Flame,' which is simply the character for flame. This is the first skill of the sealing branch, and its effect is to endow the sword with the ability of flames.
