It was evening on Wasteland Star, but only noon on Huoan Star. Wen Ran's eldest uncle, Wen Chenyu, accepted the file quickly but didn't reply for a long time. On Wasteland Star, Wen Ran felt a bit apprehensive. Although she had processed the video so the combatants' faces were unrecognizable, she still worried her uncle might identify her by her figure. If her uncle suddenly asked, "Is this you?" Wen Ran really wouldn't know how to answer. However, her instinctual curiosity as a Martial Artist made Wen Ran unable to control herself. Just as Wen Ran was sitting on pins and needles, a response finally came from the other side—it was a voice call request. Huoan Star was too far away; otherwise, it would have been a virtual call. Wen Ran swallowed hard and accepted the request. Then, she heard her uncle's familiar voice. "Where did you see this video?" "A... friend sent it to me. He likes collecting these kinds of strange videos," Wen Ran stammered. After a pause, she feigned confusion. "Uncle, do you think this video is faked? Both of them look to be at the Third or Fourth Stage. How could one use a single 'Point Cloud' Move to insta-kill an opponent?" "Not necessarily." Wen Chenyu was silent for a moment on the other end. "Even an ordinary person can achieve a similar effect if they pierce an enemy's throat with a sword. It's just that this person did it with more resolve." "Resolve?" Wen Ran didn't quite understand the adjective her uncle used. "Yes." Wen Chenyu's voice seemed to carry a hint of a smile. "Simply put, he was certain he could take away his opponent's life within a second, which is why he dared to fight like that." Wen Ran fell silent. She remembered the words "as soon as possible" that she had personally typed during her exchange with Xu Jia. Being certain he could finish an opponent in one second, thus not caring if he was pierced by a spear... what level of powerhouse possesses such confidence? But Wen Ran still asked stubbornly, "Uncle, you haven't told me yet—how exactly did he manage to pull off an insta-kill..." This time, Wen Chenyu answered quickly. "That's a relatively niche technique within 'Point Cloud.' You can call it the 'V-Shape Thrust'... You don't need to know too much about it. You're still in the foundation-building stage. You should wait until after the Seventh Stage to learn these Variant Martial Arts." After saying this, Wen Chenyu didn't seem to want to say more. After a few more words of small talk, he took the initiative to hang up. However, the curiosity in Wen Ran's heart was like a loose thread being pulled, making her feel as restless as a cat's scratch. She quickly opened the network and began searching for "V-Shape Thrust" and knowledge on Variant Martial Arts... "'V-Shape Thrust'? What's that?" A Yue looked at Xu Jia in confusion. A Yue had returned late from the academy. The two were sitting in the living room eating a late-night snack, chatting about Xu Jia's power leveling situation today. "It's a Variant Martial Arts," Xu Jia said casually. "At the downward pressure point of the second segment of 'Point Cloud,' you add a subtle thrusting motion. The power is mainly used on this thrust, which can release the explosive force of the entire Move in advance." As a basic sword Move, "Point Cloud" actually consisted of three actions: thrust, downward pressure, and upward flick. In the game "azure," if a player simply clicked the skill three times, the character would automatically perform the three standard swordsmanship actions, with the power concentrated in the "thrust" and "flick" motions. The so-called "V-Shape Thrust" actually placed the power of the "flick" action into a self-added "thrust." So, the "upward flick" that should have followed the downward pressure trajectory became a light, diagonal flick due to insufficient force, forming a "V" shape. "Every Move of the Martial Arts that leaked from the myriad realms platform can have a large number of variants. But that's someth
