After Anthony and Jack left, Fang Xingjian was left alone in the training room, waving his longsword to portray different sword stances.

As he thrusted the sword again and again, various sword techniques were displayed, almost as if a massive amount of flowers had bloomed majestically.

In his hands, it was as if the sword techniques had their own souls, and with the increase in the number of sword techniques he had been practicing, the level of cultivation of his sword arts was also brought to new heights. Regardless if it was the speed at which he was learning sword arts; or their application in battles; or the flow in switching from sword stance to sword stance, they had all improved qualitatively.

However, towards the matter of Perfect Muscles, he still felt that something was not right, as if something was missing – something which caused him to not be able to achieve Perfect Muscles.

The various rumors that were going around with regards to Fang Xingjian seemed to be progressively getting worse. The Knights who passed by Fang Xingjian’s villa all looked towards it with gazes filled with contempt.

As the students in Class 256 all completed their job transitions one after another, with Fang Xingjian still not being able to complete his job transition at such a late point in time, more and more people grew to believe that Fang Xingjian had entered the academy through backdoor, and that he did not have the talent to be a Prefectural Champion.

Another fifteen days passed by. Fang Xingjian perfected the basic sword techniques of the Tempest Overload and the others to the maximum level, bringing himself additional increments for his attributes.

During this period, he had picked up an additional sword technique, the Storm Sword Technique, which was specially targeted towards raising one’s agility attribute. This was done in order to increase his own agility attribute, as well as to get a moderate increase in other attributes.

Having brought fifteen sword techniques to their maximum level, there were a few Nurturing techniques which did not overlap and brought him additional potential points. Of course, this also caused him to have to increase his training time to three hours in order to accumulate potential points , and the potential he could gain increased to 8500 points.

Therefore, Fang Xingjian’s attributes changed to become:

Name Fang Xingjian

Age 16

Level 9

Strength 45

Agility 56

Reaction 46

Endurance 38

Flexibility 35

Nurturing Sword Techniques 31 sets

Potential 8,500 point increase/day

At present, Fang Xingjian was only 4 points away before his agility attribute met the requirements for the Windstorm Sword Hero. However, most of his sword techniques had already reached their maximum level, and there were lesser varieties of Nurturing techniques which he had yet to learn.

Therefore, from now onwards, he would probably have to depend on potential to increase his attributes. What was left was the job progress and Waves after the job transition was completed.

However, even after he had perfected the three Divine Level characters’ fifteen sword techniques to their maximum levels, he was still unable to grasp the Perfect Muscles specialty.

From this, it was obvious how tough it was to become a Windstorm Sword Hero. What Fang Xingjian had already achieved would probably, by comparison, be something that one with mediocre talent be unable to accomplish even with decades of training. Even a genius like Kaunitz would probably need to take at least twenty years to achieve Fang Xingjian’s current level.

While one was spending decades to complete the first transition, other people from the same class would probably have long completed their second transition, or would have even reached the pinnacle of their second transition and were just waiting to see if they could achieve a breakthrough and attain the Divine Level.

It was also why, after all these years, no had had attempted to try out those rare jobs… While they were powerful, it was impossible for ordinary people to put so much resources and time to waste.

Only a monstrous level talent like Fang Xingjian would be able to achieve so much within two and a half months.

However, even Fang Xingjian had not been able to fully grasp the principle behind the Perfect Muscles. He started to have doubts as to whether or not he had been too confident at the start, and made the wrong choice.

‘Impossible.
