Episode 76:clash of blood and light

The horizon turned crimson.

Wind howled across the training grounds as the ancient seal—hidden beneath the academy's core—shattered with a deafening roar. A ripple of raw power surged through the air, sending everyone crashing to the ground. Trees bent. Skies swirled. And from the cracked earth… something moved.

Master Ryong appeared instantly, his robes billowing like thunderclouds. "It's begun," he said gravely. "The Seal War is no longer training. This is real."

Bo stood frozen. "Uh… I didn't sign up for actual world-ending vibes today."

Yooha stepped forward, her expression calm but cold. "This is what we trained for."

Jin, still reeling from the connection to the seal, held his blade tighter. "No holding back."

A sudden CRACK—and ghostly figures emerged. Cloaked in shadows. The first wave of the Seal War.

Yooha's power surged, wings flickering behind her.

He vanished, reappearing midair like lightning, slicing through three phantoms with one movement. The Laughing Blade sang.

Master Ryong shouted, "Fall back—"

Yooha joined him. "Together."

Their teammates lined up beside them, bruised but burning with power.

Bo whispered with a grin, "Alright, team… let's break the universe a little."
