Chapter 36: 1000% Wave Burst

“As you can see, we Essence Wave Cultivators can achieve the same brute destructive might that Astral Wave Cultivators.”

When Wink spoke those words, many cadets could not help but show a smile on their faces. They chose the Essence Evolution Path of Power but were still youths, so the idea of unleashing destructive power made their blood burn.

“Of course, if an Astral Wave Cultivator managed to master Directed Flow to my same level and injected the same amount of Wave into that steel ball, that person would have pierced the wall. After all, they would have combined their physical might plus the enhanced object.”

Now it was the time for the other cadets to show smiles. They all understand that to match an Essence Wave Cultivator in Directed Flow was incredibly difficult, but it did not stop them from adopting cocky attitudes.

“Now, those are the three basic exercises of Wave Cloak that you all shall practice. Every time you raise the amount of your Wave, you will have to perfect them again, meaning they will accompany you forever on your paths of power.” Wink gave a couple of minutes for the entire class to digest the information he had just passed them before the virtual screen above him focused on the second humanoid.

“Now I will explain Wave Burst.”

Unlike when Wink began with Wave Cloak, this time, there was not a single cadet that did not pay full attention to his words from the beginning.

.....

“Now, the principle behind Wave Burst is straightforward, you improve the output of Wave, enhancing your Wave Cloak and all that came with it.”

Everybody saw how the humanoid in the virtual screen deployed Wave Cloak. On the humanoid right side, the cadets also saw a bar signaling the amount of Wave, which was decreasing steadily.

Next, the humanoid used Wave Burst to increase the amount of Wave leaving the Sacred Organ. That made the Wave Cloak almost double in size, but the rate at which it depleted nearly tripled.

“Wave Burst improves not only our physical might but also the speed at which we can deploy spells and their power. However, as all of you that have used it should know, there are drawbacks.”

The virtual image on the screen focused on the edge of the bursting Wave Cloak, and the cadets saw how some Wave left and dispersed.

“During Wave Burst, it is harder to control our Wave, increasing its depletion due to the higher output and our inability to keep it inside our Wave Cloak.”

Wink’s words made it clear to everybody why the amount of Wave in the humanoid reduced so fast. All the cadets had used Wave Burst, but none ever felt Wave loss like that.

“There is also the physical stress put on our bodies. Our body automatically regulates the might of our Wave Cloak when we unleash it, so it doesn’t exert more pressure than it can safely handle. During Wave Burst, we ignore that limitation, affecting our stamina.”

Cain could not help but nod as he heard that explanation. He remembered how tired it felt to use Wave Burst and the soreness of his muscles.

“Now that I explained the drawbacks of Wave Burst, I will demonstrate its might.”

Those words pushed the cadets’ attention to their peak. Wink’s demonstrations were visually striking, and they were sure this one would not be different.

A Wave Cloak covered Wink’s body, and the amount in it was not impressive at all.

“I regulated the Wave in my body to be around the same as a newly advanced Level 3 Wave Warrior. Now I will show you 200% Wave Burst.”

Wink’s Wave Cloak improved its power. It was still far from being shocking, but what happened next showed everybody how mighty Wave Burst was.

“400%”

As soon as Wink uttered those words, the Wave Cloak grew even mightier, and it was far from over.

“600%”

The air inside the auditorium began to move chaotically due to the might of Wink’s bursting Wave Cloak.

“800%”

Wink’s Wave Cloak was so powerful that the platform beneath his feet was trembling.

“I have currently unleashed a Wave Cloak that could match that of a Level 4 Wave Warrior who themselves is using a basic Wave Burst.”

That statement made the eyes of the cadets show some level of shock. Everybody already knew that from Level 3 to Level 4, there was a significant watershed that many could not pass.

Wink saw how the entire class was now full of expectation, and he did not disappoint.

“1000%!”

“?Boom!”

A minor shock wave occurred when Wink unleashed 1000% Wave Burst, and cracks appeared beneath his feet.

“In this state, I have the power to kill a newly advanced Level 4 Wave Warrior incapable of deploying 200% Wave Burst in a direct battle.”

Although it would not be inconceivable for a Level 3 Wave Warrior to defeat someone at Level 4, that was if they used sneak attacks and the likes. Winning in a direct battle was impossible.

Or at least that was what Cain thought until he saw the might that 1000% Wave Burst could unleash.

“The time a Level 3 Wave Warrior could fight in 1000% Wave Burst was extremely short, not to mention their bodies would crumble unless they were training some high-grade auxiliary technique. I must also say how hard it is to surpass 400% Wave Burst. Using the full power of my Wave Cloak, I can barely reach 350% Wave Burst.”
