The next day, Tejima looked at the girl's sky-gazing back and then discovered something amazing.
"Wait, you have a Vision?"
"Yeah, I got it after a night's sleep."
Shiki told a small lie, but this also indirectly proved one point: even Vision wielders couldn't distinguish the fake made by Master Masamori from the real thing.
"Hahaha, good, good! With a Vision, your Talents won't go to waste anymore."
"Yes, yes, elemental power is truly versatile."
Tejima laughed heartily. Although it wasn't the same Pyro element as his, electro element was also good; both were the most aggressive elements in nature.
Moreover, the country they were in was Inazuma, and who was the earthly ruler of Inazuma?
The Raiden Shogun!
electro element in Inazuma was the most powerful element!
"Come on, follow me to the backyard. I'll teach you the Mushin Style, which can only be performed with elemental power!"
Tejima eagerly ran to the training ground in the backyard. He looked even happier than the girl, as if he were the one who had awakened a Vision.
Shiki smiled helplessly and followed him. However, she didn't dislike this feeling.
"Come, come, what I'm about to demonstrate is my most proud technique."
Tejima drew his katana. Since he needed to use elemental power, he wasn't using a wooden sword this time. After all, wood is also a Dendro element, and if it touches fire, it's immediately finished.
Tejima settled into a horse stance, holding his katana upright in front of him, and finally let out a fierce low roar:
"Haa!"
Blazing Pyro element swept over. Shiki felt a roaring fire ignite in front of her, and under the high temperature, tiny beads of sweat quickly seeped onto her forehead.
These Pyro elements formed a spherical shield around Tejima, and then the scorching temperature disappeared, replaced by a warm, comforting sensation.
Shiki drew Kujikanesada and swung it a few times, discovering that her stamina consumption was significantly reduced when she was near Tejima.
"Did you notice? By getting close to this shield, you can recover stamina faster, and this shield can block both elemental attacks and simple slashes."
"If you don't believe me, you can try it with your Vision."
Tejima's expression was slightly smug.
If others wanted to harm him, they would first have to break through this shield. However, except for Hydro Visions, all other elemental attacks on the shield would consume a considerable amount of elemental power.
Simply put, as long as he had this shield, he would be in an unbeatable position when facing non-Hydro Vision wielders!
"Uh... let's not, I'm a electro element user. Wouldn't this Overloaded reaction just blow up our yard?"
Shiki shook her head. She had already experienced the power of Overloaded at the base of Mt. Yougou. Its performance in the game was underwhelming, but that was just the game.
In reality, the explosion caused by Overloaded was like a bomb, capable of sending people flying a considerable distance.
The Vaporize reaction in the game is very strong, right? But its performance in reality is actually not very good, especially when fire hits water, the attack effect is halved at best.
In rainy weather, don't even think about Vaporize with every strike; there's simply no Pyro element for you to control, or the Pyro element is so scarce that it can't ignite a significant flame at all.
"You're right, Fire and Lei would just explode."
Tejima said, dispersing the surrounding Pyro element.
"Anyway, you try to condense a shield with electro element first, but because of the different elements, the effect brought by the shield might not be stamina recovery."
"I'll try."
Shiki began to guide the electro element within her dantian. Compared to when she first acquired it, the electro element had grown considerably.
This power seed, originating from Raiden Makoto, had already begun to take root and sprout, waiting for the day it would grow into a towering tree. Perhaps by then, she would possess the power of a Archon?
However, the time required for this might be hundreds of years or more, even with conscious absorption of the free electro element in the atmosphere.
How could the power of a Archon be obtained so easily? Even the smallest Slime needs several days to be born in a place where elemental power is active.
In short, such things were just thoughts; it was better to practice swordsmanship diligently than to daydream.
Golden lightning swirled around her. Tejima saw this, and a strange look appeared in his eyes; he had never seen golden lightning alive for so long.
It is well known that the electro element Visions people possess are purple, and the lightning they use is also purple, while this golden kind is only found in Lei Slime.
Lightning has always been the most violent element in nature, but Shiki, after long periods of combat, had very high control over her electro element.
The shield slowly formed under Shiki's control, but she didn't seem to feel any special effects.
She told Tejima about this, and he laughed heartily:
"Hahaha, because your special effect is for others, not yourself!"
"You see, I'm still some distance from you, but I feel a sense of numbness in my limbs."
"This numbness will not only dull my senses but also significantly slow down my speed. I just don't know if it will still be effective against someone who also has a Lei Vision."
Possessing a Vision of a certain element means the body develops resistance to that element.
For example, Tejima is Pyro, so his tolerance for flames is higher than others. He can even directly put his hand into a campfire in the wild for a few seconds without any harm.
So, if it were a Lei Vision holder, the numbing effect of the shield might not work.
At this point, it depends on who is more proficient in the use of electro element. After all, there's only so much electro element in one area. If I control more than you, I'll definitely win.
Speaking of the electro element Vision, Fujiwara, with her surging power, came to Shiki's mind. It seemed she really needed to find an opportunity to spar with her.
"Speaking of which, since you can make elements form a shield, simpler enchantments shouldn't be a problem for you. So, let's move directly to the next stage!"
Tejima finished speaking and walked out of the yard to the river. What he was about to demonstrate would be very destructive, and if he stayed near the yard, he could easily burn down the house.
In other words, the shield just now was like an Elemental Skill in the game, and what he was about to demonstrate now was an Elemental Burst.
"I name this technique 'Glory of Fiery Light'."
After he spoke, Shiki saw Tejima plunge his sword into the ground, then grasp the hilt with both hands, like he was playing golf, and swing the katana fiercely.
Only, this golf wasn't hitting a ball, but a raging inferno tens of meters long.
