Yang Wenzhao/Abilities

## Abilities

### Thorny Charge

This is a skill that is only capable of third step knight and above and it is able to raise the speed of the attack and, at the same time to gather the spiritual energy.

### Pure White Edge

It is a skill that increases the users striking power as the user charge toward their opponent.

### Heavenly Battle Array

It is a skill of Retribution Knights of the third step that draws support from the particular holy light of the knight and takes the shape of a layer of light with an effect similar to an all-out defense formed of spiritual energy.

### Divine Obstruction

KIt is a obstruction skill, in other words a skill that can block attacks. This is a very high level skill that usually only Radiant knight can learn. This can obstruct attacks which are three times more powerful than the user's spiritual power.

The [Divine Obstruction] is a skill that can be easily described. It enables one to momentarily transform his defense entirely. Simply said, it causes one’s defense to become like an iron rock so that only attacks that exceed the defensive power of the skill can break through it. However, if the attacks use weapons of the same volume and hardness as an iron rock, when attacking, it cannot possibly break this defense.

[Divine Obstruction] is like the process of the transformation of an ore of iron into a bar of iron. It is easily explained, but extremely hard to do because it takes a lot of talent.

Though, if [Divine Obstruction] is trained to a certain level, it can use at least a part of the power of the opponent’s attack to become its own force and use it for attack as well as defense. Practiced to its utmost potential, [Divine Obstruction]’s defensive power is worthy of being called “divine”.

### Bright Vengeance

The ability formed along with Divine Obstruction to reflect some damage back to the enemy. An obstruction skill used after Divine Obstruction which absorbs with opponent's energy and then attacks with that power.

### Instant Blast Cross Cut

Involves using two sword for this skill, both sword slashing at the same time forming a cross.

### Radiant Cross Cut

Two swords were crossed, it was a [Radiant Cross Cut].

Yang Wenzhao simultaneously waved his two swords, forming a cross with them; it was a [Radiant Cross Cut]. It could be considered as a combinatorial skill.

This [Radiant Cross Cut] used [Holy Sword] as its foundation.

### Shining Sunlight Strike

A 4th step knight skill. The skill involves using his spiritual energy onto a weapon or an equipment (shield).

### Light Thorn\Thrust

The first long range skill learned by knights.

### Halo of Holy Protection

It is the Guardian Knights’ Halo of Holy Protection.

Able to raise the efficiency of any attacks on enemies of darkness attributes, it also weakened the elemental attribute and speed of the targets in question.

### Power Storing

A shared skill between Retribution and Guardian Knights, it is normally learnt by 5th step Earth or Airborne Knights. The skill is to store up spiritual energy for one attack since the stored up energy only last for 3 seconds.

### Spiritual Condensed Weapon Creation

A fifth step knight skill. With this skill, liquid spiritual energy materializes into weapons. However it's consumption is very high, even with the physique of the Scion of Light costing 500 units of spiritual energy.

### Lock

Knight skill used by both specialities, [Lock]. Skill of the sixth step.

Just like [Storing Power], it was an auxiliary skill, but [Target Lock] was an extremely practical skill that all knights who reached the level of Radiant Knight could learn. In the case that an opponent was locked on, all the attacks of the knight who used [Lock] would automatically target it. Even [Assault], [Charge] and this kind of abilities aiming in straight line would have the effect of pursuing the target.

### Ascending Dragon Strike

This is a shared skill among fifth step Retribution and Guardian knights. When used, the user will emit out a resonant Dragon cry and holy internal spiritual energy turns into scales and surrounds their body.

[Ascending Dragon Strike] wasn’t only a skill with an extremely powerful firepower: it was an ability that combined both attack and defense in one.

### Assault

[Assault], a skill of knight of the fifth step.

It is a skill used to charge at enemies and it increases the speed of the user.

### Holy Sword

The ultimate Retribution Knight skill of the fifth step. While possessing a tyrannical offensive power, this skill had a supplementary effect on creatures with a dark attribute, doubling the damage.

An incandescent luster shone, instantly amplifying. But there was a fundamental difference with [Shining Solar Strike]. It was that the Light Sword’s radiance wasn’t scattering, but completely concentrated in the sword. It seemed that the Light Sword was becoming immaterial, and could break through anything, as a holy aura was emanating from the Light Sword.

### Holy Mantle

A fourth step Guardian Knight skill that can heal anyone instead the mantle.

[Holy Light Mantle] was a defensive skill that Grand Knight level Guardian Knights were capable of using. The defensive power was not as great as [Divine Light Mantle]’s, but [Holy Light Mantle]’s greatest benefit was the possibility to control the range of the mantle; the bigger the chosen range, the more its defensive power is reduced. More importantly, [Holy Light Mantle] had a supplementary healing effect inside of its range, which made it one of the most useful skills to Guardian Knights. The only defect would be that it consumed an enormous amount of spiritual energy; launching this ability consumed 50 units of internal spiritual energy, and each second sustained would add 5 units to this count.

### Holy/Sunlight Fire

It is a skill of the fifth step. This skill required his spiritual energy to advance to the second rank of the fifth step for one to possibly use it.

Light and fire were originally the same entity. The flames of the sun were as blazing as the flame produced by a pure light with a very high temperature. A luminous darkness corroded everything. To Retribution Knights, this skill possessed enormous utility. It was classified as one of the secret skills, and also a skill Retribution Knights of the fifth step had to learn sooner or later.

This skill had great power, and a great utility in regard to offense, defense and dispelling negative effects. However, behind this formidable power, the consumption was also enormous. Launching this skill required 200 units of liquid spiritual energy, and maintaining it consumed 30 units every breath. Even knights of the fifth step had to controll it moderately after launching it.

### Spiritual Highland

Spiritual Highland is an ability specific to the three close quarters vocations of the Temple Alliance, and one of the most basic ability of human powerhouses of the eighth step.

After the spiritual energy breaks through 30,000 units, the liquid spiritual energy in a human’s body reaches a terrifying density. Although some spiritual cavities will restraint this phenomenon, after spiritual energy condenses to a certain extent, an effect of solidification will be produced.

Spiritual Highland enables one’s solidified spiritual energy to burst out instantly, producing a powerful strength. Even for a powerhouse of the eighth step th a massive consumption of spiritual energy would occur from using this powerful ability, and wouldn’t be able to propagate the effect. In other words, Spiritual Highland is only useable in an area in contact of one’s skin.

### Lightspeed Flash

**Lightspeed Flash**. Secret Retribution Knight technique of the seventh step, raising speed instantly, and strengthening one’s imposing manner to the peak all at once.

This technique was not easy to control, to the extent that some Retribution Knights of the eighth step wouldn’t necessarily have full grasp on it. But Long Haochen almost had no preparations nor time to store energy, and directly used this ability to its fullest.

Although Lightspeed Flash couldn’t possibly really reach the speed of light, it was enough to match instant teleportation.

### **Sacred Sun’s Brilliance**

This was a legacy technique that originated from the Divine Knight of Defence and Planning Yang Haohan.

A heavy sword that shone with orange light appeared in his hands. Golden light was emitted like a mist, making him shine like a huge sun. The Sacred Sun’s Brilliance was extremely bright, which made the opponents feel like they were being scorched alive and also blinded them temporarily.
