Abilities & Functions

Focused Cognitive State

Absolute Focus suppresses irrelevant sensory input and stray thoughts, concentrating Li Wen's mind, will, and perception on a single task. Its activation commonly makes the surrounding world seem silent or stripped away, leaving only the object of study or combat. 2 13 220

• Enhances clarity of thought, analysis, deduction, and insight. 3 29
• Allows Li Wen to identify minute flaws in posture, muscle activation, timing, qi-and-blood circulation, and weapon trajectories. 13 18
• Its outward signs are minimal, generally limited to a sharper gaze and heightened concentration. 8 29
• Can be used in reality and within near-real virtual environments. 2 29
• At higher levels, it filters external perception so completely that Li Wen can focus solely on his blade, cultivation route, or the laws he is studying. 220 251 274
• It can maintain Li Wen's mental stability against the destructive intent of divine thunder during Nine Heavens Divine Body cultivation. 140 153

Comprehension Enhancement

The skill's core numerical benefit is a Scholar-level-scaled increase to comprehension, beginning at 10% at Lv1 and reaching 200% at maximum Lv20. 5 7 264

• Accelerates cultivation-method optimization by revealing inefficient blood-qi routes and energy loss points. 13
• Improves academic analysis, allowing Li Wen to resolve difficult logical chains and examination problems rapidly. 48 69
• Enables rapid learning and correction of blade techniques, including the final forms of the Rainbow Light Blade Art. 15 18
• Helps Li Wen dissect and recombine higher-level Blade Intent and domain insights. 175 205
• Allows Li Wen to organize and analyze spatial law-threads, lightning-law transformations, and the underlying patterns of the Universal Domain. 215 241 264
• At Lv17, it enables a rapid rise in Li Wen's Blade Technique Domain Realm progress; at Lv20, it assists in extracting further potential from perfected Venerable-level blade arts. 227 264
• In the Time Tower, Li Wen uses it alongside accelerated cultivation time to revisit the Heaven-Piercing Tower's attacks and develop saber techniques that begin to affect his perception of time's flow. 315
• At Lv20, its comprehension boost improves Li Wen's understanding and control of Myriad Phenomena Return-to-Void Finger, including a strike carrying a faint slowing effect. 319

Combat Processing and Physical Control

Under high-pressure combat, Absolute Focus converts its enhanced comprehension into extreme situational awareness, predictive calculation, and fine control of strength. 29 30

• Compresses reactions that once required fractions of a second into microsecond-scale observation and decision-making. 29
• Analyzes opponents' power flow, attack trajectories, and exploitable weaknesses. 29 76
• Optimizes Li Wen's control of muscles, qi-blood, and force output; this control is a key component of his early Secret Technique potential. 29 55
• Guides efficient target selection and movement paths in large-scale virtual assessments. 50
• Can work in conjunction with Li Wen's Primordial Spirit, Divine Sense, and Blade Force. 67 87 97
• When combined with Divine Sense and Primordial Spirit detection, it gives Li Wen a detailed three-dimensional awareness of enemy movements, power flows, and battlefield vulnerabilities. 73 113 133
• It greatly reduces the cost of integrating Primordial Spirit power into his body, allowing him to retain physical control beyond the normal 100% limit while using substantially less spiritual power. 67
• At advanced realms, the skill strengthens analysis, control, and technique refinement rather than directly increasing the raw force of Li Wen's attacks. 217
• On the Heaven-Piercing Tower's seventh floor, Li Wen activates Lv20 Absolute Focus to study a swordsman's Space and Time Law attacks. The skill helps his analysis, but does not by itself overcome the opponent's superior technique and cultivation; Li Wen must also draw on Primordial Spirit power and exploit a specific weakness. 310 311
• Against Isabel's linked Primordial Spirit attacks, Li Wen activates Absolute Focus as part of his response, combining his analysis with saber techniques and Primordial Spirit power to break through. 318 319

Sustained Activation and Cost

Absolute Focus consumes mental energy and can leave Li Wen severely exhausted after extended or repeated use. 7 38

• At Lv5, it has a mandatory minimum activation period of five minutes before Li Wen can manually end it. 38
• At Lv6, the minimum activation period decreases to three minutes. 48
• Greater Spirit and Primordial Spirit strength increase its sustainable duration and reduce associated drain. 39 67 86
• Li Wen has required rest and mental recovery after intensive activation, especially during virtual combat. 38 54 90
• By Lv9, Li Wen can sustain peak-efficiency focused cultivation for approximately three hours, which is sufficient to stabilize his mind during the cultivation of the Nine Heavens Divine Body. 140
• Following the growth of his Primordial Spirit to the Ninth Layer, Li Wen can maintain Lv20 Absolute Focus through three days and nights of intensive blade cultivation before spiritual depletion forces the state to recede. 264
• After reaching the Scholar skill's current level cap, Li Wen continues cultivating his Primordial Spirit through training rather than relying on further Scholar-level advances. 319

History

Absolute Focus awakened when Li Wen activated the [Scholar] profession after the fusion of his two lifetimes' souls. Its first use immediately muted surrounding noise, replaced his fatigue with intense concentration, and subtly corrected his movements. 2

Li Wen quickly identified the skill as the catalyst behind his improved cultivation efficiency and blade-art breakthroughs. At Lv1, its 10% comprehension enhancement helped turn years of accumulated practice into a rapid advance in the Tiger Guard Blade Art. 3 5 As its level rose through continued study, the skill became Li Wen's principal tool for martial comprehension, academic performance, and cultivation-method refinement. 8 13 48

The Martial Arts Assessment marked its first major combat application. Against the Green-Clad Man, Li Wen used Lv3 Absolute Focus to process combat information at extreme speed, predict attacks, and explore the skill's physical-control benefits under life-or-death pressure. 29 30 It subsequently became integral to his virtual-arena battles, Blade Force development, physical-control training, and progression through Blade Intent and later blade realms. 50 87 91 141

During the mural comprehension assessment, activating Absolute Focus caused the Jade Smoke Ring above Li Wen to undergo its Second Change, a phenomenon associated with total absorption. While immersed in the mural world, Li Wen comprehended and demonstrated ten blade-technique forms, setting the assessment record. 129

During the demon assault at the city walls, Lv9 Absolute Focus allowed Li Wen to remain absolutely calm amid mass warfare. It processed the power flows, air currents, and attack trajectories around him, supporting his exceptionally efficient use of Blade Force against the demon horde and its commanders. 131 133

After reaching Scholar Lv11, Li Wen relied on Absolute Focus and his Primordial Spirit as the two principal advantages enabling him to cultivate the Nine Heavens Divine Body. The skill maintained the clarity and precision needed to guide violent thunder energy through his body, refine foundation treasures, and resist the destructive intent contained in higher-grade thunder. 140 147 153

Absolute Focus continued to support Li Wen's advancement through the Divine Body's later layers, Blade Intent cultivation, and increasingly precise blade practice. By the time he attained the Ninth Layer of the Nine Heavens Divine Body, its synergy with his Third Layer Primordial Spirit had given him extraordinary control over power and energy; however, Li Wen still needed to temper his will independently to overcome the Heart-Examining Hall's final barrier. 156 157

At higher Scholar levels, Li Wen used the skill to study spatial laws, Thunder Law, and the Universal Domain. Its focused state helped him create the Venerable-level blade art Space Severance and later accelerate his Blade Technique Domain Realm progress. 220 227 241

After reaching maximum Lv20 Scholar, Li Wen used Absolute Focus to refine his Venerable-level blade arts over three days, perfecting Imperial Extremity and creating Instant Light. He subsequently continued employing the maximum-level skill while practicing basic saber techniques, using the fundamentals to further comprehend the laws of heaven and earth. 264 274

In the Heaven-Piercing Tower, Li Wen activated Lv20 Absolute Focus against a seventh-floor swordsman whose use of Space and Time Laws initially overwhelmed him. Analysis alone could not close the gap in technique and cultivation. He combined his scholar-assisted observations with Primordial Spirit perception and power, eventually identifying a brief flaw in the opponent's law circulation and using it to help secure victory. 310 311

Li Wen later used Absolute Focus in the Time Tower to analyze those tower battles and pursue saber techniques incorporating the Time Law. During his duel with the Primordial Spirit specialist Isabel, the skill helped him respond to her mental attacks and strengthened his control of Myriad Phenomena Return-to-Void Finger. With Scholar progression at its current cap, he subsequently turned to dedicated Primordial Spirit cultivation in the Soul Origin Tower. 315 318 319
