Chapter 46: Plan

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations  Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

There were many prerequisites for the Windstorm Sword Hero, First and foremost of them was the attributes. This job required over 45 points in strength, over 60 points in agility, over 45 points in reaction, over 35 points in endurance, and over 35 points in flexibility.

The requirements for the attributes were very close to many of the Warriors who had already completed the first transition. For a normal Warrior to achieve these attributes before going through the first transition would mean that he would need to spend all his time practicing techniques in both the Nurturing Path and the Training Path, continuously accumulating and depleting potential points.

Those who were talented would need about five to six years. Those who had mediocre talent would need over ten years. And those who had poor talent would need twenty to thirty years to gain these attributes, and thus fulfill the attribute requirements for the Windstorm Sword Hero.

Fang Xingjian was still short of 7 points in strength, 17 points in agility, 22 points in reaction, 5 points in endurance, and 3 points in flexibility.

However, the development of his potential was more than ten times faster than that of an ordinary person’s to being with, and now, with the numerous sword techniques in the library just waiting for him to learn, he had the confidence to achieve the attribute requirements for the Windstorm Sword Hero.

Other than attributes, another item was the specialities. To take on the job of the Windstorm Sword Hero, he would need three major specialties, namely Heightened Reflexes, Perfect Muscles and High Sensitivity Motion Vision.

Heightened Reflexes required one to perform a reflex action for ten thousand times in 0.1 seconds. After obtaining it, this specialty allowed the person to instinctively perform battle reflex actions under any circumstance, thus increasing the person’s reaction speed by half.

Perfect Muscles was even tougher. It required one to train every single muscle throughout the body, and to have pink-colored muscles, which had the endurance of red-colored muscles and the explosive force of white-colored muscles. It was as if a person’s muscles had strong endurance, like that of a marathon champion, but also had the explosive force like that of a champion sprinter.

This specialty could increase the practitioner’s strength and agility attributes with 10% of the endurance attribute’s current value.

This meant that if his endurance was 50 points, his agility and strength would each increase by 5 points.

The final one was the High Agility Motion Vision. To obtain this specialty, one would need to spend long hours without the sense of hearing, relying only on one’s sight to avoid ten thousand high speed attacks.

After gaining the High Agility Motion Vision, it would increase the speed at which the optic nerves transmitted information, and thus strengthen the practitioner’s motion vision.

These three specialties were the foundation of the job transition for the Windstorm Sword Hero, and the basic requirements for high-speed battles. In addition, all three were specialties which demanded hard work and effort. There were no shortcuts available.

As for the skills, the Windstorm Sword Hero did not require any.

Lastly, the Waves and mental cultivation techniques required was Mistral Windgod’s Waves and Ice Age Meditation Art.

The Waves and mental cultivation techniques were something which could change life’s frequencies, and which could, in essence, change one’s body.

Mental cultivation techniques primarily changed one’s thoughts and one’s way of thinking. The Waves changed one’s body and blood vessels.

Only when the two were in sync would they be able to perform even more effectively.

The two were further split into two categories, namely basic types and special types.

Mistral Windgod’s Waves was considered one of the special types. When it was trained to a high level, it allowed the practitioner to work together with ether particles in order to control the atmosphere and strong winds.

Basic type Waves did not have explicit extraordinary powers, they simply facilitated the strengthening of one’s physical body through the ether particles.

The same goes for mental cultivation techniques. When one was able to obtain a high enough level in mental cultivation techniques of a special type, this would allow one to perform material obstruction.

Ice Age Meditation Art was considered a basic type, and it simply increased one’s basic attributes such as computational abilities and reaction.

Regardless if it was mental cultivation techniques or Waves, those classified under special types were able to obstruct the material world, while basic types could strengthen one’s body. They each had their benefits, and it was difficult to compare or decide which was the better one.

The combination of the Waves and mental cultivation techniques for the Windstorm Sword Hero was such that the Mistral Windgod’s Waves controlled raging wind, while the Ice Age Meditation Art strengthened one’s brain, nerves and thoughts. It was a combination of a special type with a basic type.

Looking at the many goals he had written down on paper, Fang Xingjian thought to himself, ‘I must first train my attributes. After all, Heightened Reflexes and High Sensitivity Motion Vision both boil down to attribute requirements. As long as my attributes are high enough, the training for these two specialties will go much faster.’
