Louis exclaimed in surprise:

"Bloodstorm Blade?"

Jino nodded and said:

"Do you still remember the advanced professions for the three basic professions of the Nine Swords?"

Louis nodded and said:

"I remember, there are seven advanced professions. Jade Phoenix Mage, Eternal Blade, Shadow Sun Ninja, Master Blood Claw, Nine Sword Grandmaster, Red Jade Guard, and Deep Stone Sentinel."

Jino said, "A complete professional system didn't become so complete from the start."

"Even the most basic warrior profession has been perfected through generations of sages to have the complete system it has today."

Louis nodded in understanding.

Any professional system needs to develop from scratch; that's reality.

Jino said in a deep voice:

"My fury is a gathering storm, once it erupts, my enemies' blood will taint the earth like a torrential rain."

"This is the interpretation of this profession by the first great compiler of Bloodstorm Blade, the former Protector Duke York."

With just this sentence, Louis sensed the scent of a bloody storm in this profession.

Jino leisurely explained to Louis the past and present life of the Bloodstorm Blade.

Like other advanced professions of the Nine Swords, Bloodstorm Blade initially was an extension of the basic profession Sword of Martial Arts.

A profession is called an advanced profession for a reason.

To make a simple analogy, generally, one needs to have the basics of elementary and middle school mathematics to tackle advanced mathematics and linear algebra in university without a huge barrier.

The relationship between a basic profession and its corresponding advanced profession is just like that.

If you cannot master the martial arts of the basic profession and adapt your body to the changes in the blood energy of the Nine Swords, transitioning to an advanced profession is almost impossible.

The Bloodstorm Blade, relying on the Iron Heart Stream, was developed as an advanced profession to fill the most lacking gap of the Nine Swords professions—

Long-range attack.

Jino showed a hint of helplessness on his face:

"Why does the White Tower hold such a special place in the Ense Empire?"

"Because the mages of the White Tower are one element that compensates for the long-range attack weakness of the Nine Swords professions."

"Admittedly, many people believe that Nine Swords practitioners are essentially close combat mages who shape their magic by hand."

"But the difference between us and real mages is still significant."

"If it's only about close combat professions, our Ense's White Crow Legion is undoubtedly the strongest legion on this continent."

"But if it involves long-range strikes, our advantage is not so obvious."

"This was the reason Duke York chose to blaze this trail years ago."

"Unfortunately, this professional deduction path that lasted for over 600 years ultimately ended in failure."

Jino took a deep breath, putting away some of the frustration in his heart.

He seriously said:

"The deduction process of the Bloodstorm Blade is excellent everywhere; whether it is our original expectation of achieving long-range attack targets or the exclusive professional skills of this system, they're all quite good."

"But it has one fatal flaw that can't be compensated: it cannot add value to the core of the Nine Swords profession."

With this explanation, Louis understood why Jino was so regretful.

Applying a Xianxia setting makes it quite understandable.

In a certain Xianxia world, there is a sect named Ense.

The disciples of Ense have been cultivating the supreme Dao scripture called the 'Nine Swords Dao Scripture' for generations.

Due to the vast and profound system of 'Nine Swords Dao Scripture,' for the sake of convenience in learning by later generations, the predecessors had to divide the 'Nine Swords' into three simplified Dao scriptures.

They are the 'Celestial Punishment Sword,' 'Sage Sword,' and 'Sword of Martial Arts.'

The three scriptures share the same origin. Following these three introductory heart methods and delving deep, one day you will reach the peak and attain Nine Swords True Immortal.

And due to differences in cultivation among the Daoists of the nine internal factions of the sect, at the Golden Core Stage, different people will walk on different paths.

Among these, seven paths have already been verified by the disciples and can perfectly exert the power of the 'Nine Swords Dao Scripture.'

They are—

Jade Phoenix Mage!

Eternal Blade!

Shadow Sun Ninja!

Master Blood Claw!

Nine Sword Grandmaster!

Red Jade Guard!

Deep Stone Sentinel!

However, one day, a member of the sect believed that while the path of 'Nine Swords' was vast and profound, it lacked the ability to take an enemy's head from a thousand miles away.

So the sect genius Duke York delved deep along this path and finally pioneered a new path.

This is the Bloodstorm Blade.

But the absurd thing happened.

Despite its impressive performance, the Bloodstorm Blade has one fatal flaw.

That is, the Golden Core formed through cultivating the Bloodstorm Blade cannot make good use of the magic within the 'Nine Swords Dao Scripture.'

Compared to the other seven types of Golden Cores, which perfectly integrate the Nine Swords Dao methods, it is ultimately heartbreaking.

...

Understanding this point, Louis looked at Jino:

"So, Teacher Jino, what you mean is..."

Jino snorted lightly and said:

"The Bloodstorm Blade is ultimately a profession developed based on the Sword of Martial Arts. Although it's difficult for later generations to learn this profession."

"But did the first Duke York not take the job when he blazed the trail with his own talent and genius?"

"For ordinary professionals, the possibility of learning Bloodstorm Blade skills is zero, but for you and me, this isn't the case."

"I heard you're very skilled with the slingshot; this indicates you have an extraordinary talent for balance."

"Perhaps one day, in our hands, the Bloodstorm Blade will fully integrate into the Nine Swords, becoming a new advanced profession."
