"At this speed of cultivation, it will take up to ten days..."
Fang Han felt an indescribable feeling of relief in his heart.
Previously, the multiplier of Footwork Talent Amplification was increased from 128 times to 256 times, and the changes brought about can be called a complete transformation.
Those subtle points that originally required repeated pondering to comprehend are as clear as the sun shining through the clouds.
The time required to push <Wind God Step> from Minor Accomplishment to the Proficiency Realm has been greatly shortened.
Now with this Wind Jade, this time will be shortened again.
He had a hunch that in ten days at most, or even less, he would be able to touch the threshold leading to the Proficiency Realm.
By then, the speed and flexibility of <Wind God Step> will usher in a qualitative leap.
"As expected of Mid-Grade Heavenly Treasure, which is famous for its rarity!"
Fang Han stopped his body, stood on the spot, and slowly calmed down his slightly rapid breathing.
The Wind Jade on the neck is close to the chest, still exuding that vague and warm breath.
He raised his hand and pressed the jade stone through his robe, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Worthy of being Mid-Grade Heavenly Treasure.
Wind Jade can neither enhance Internal Qi nor strengthen the physical body, nor can it improve understanding, but its improvement in wind attribute affinity is real and immediate.
For warriors who practice wind attribute martial arts, the effect of this improvement is no less than those of heavenly materials and earthly treasures that directly enhance their understanding.
"As heavenly materials and earthly treasures as Wind Jade have attribute affinity, people should also have attribute affinity talents!"
Fang Han took Wind Jade off his neck, held it in the palm of his hand and looked at it for a moment.
Sunlight shines through the gaps in the bamboo forest and shines on the drop-shaped blue gemstone. The faint halo circulates endlessly on the surface, warm and soft.
He hung Wind Jade back around his neck, turned around and walked out of Cultivation Ground, but at this moment a question came to his mind.
Martial skills have various attributes.
Wind, fire, water, thunder, ice, earth, etc. - each attribute has its corresponding martial arts and techniques.
Different people are suitable for practicing different martial arts attributes. For example, Yun Qianyue is suitable for practicing water-attribute martial arts. Her Sword Technique takes a continuous path of using softness to overcome strength. When Sword Intent is unfolded, there is a faint sound of tide and water mist fills the air.
Her sister Yun Muyao is suitable for practicing ice attribute martial arts. Sword Technique is cold and sharp, and the place where the sword passes is so cold that it can freeze the opponent's energy and blood together with Internal Qi.
This is attribute affinity.
Different people have different physiques and have different natural affinity for certain attributes.
The higher the attribute affinity, the easier it will be to practice martial arts with the corresponding attribute Beginner stage, and the faster you will enter the realm.
On the contrary, if you forcefully practice martial arts that are inconsistent with your own attributes, you will get twice the result with half the effort.
In a sense, attribute affinity is also a kind of talent.
Like root bones, Sword Art, and Body Movement, it is the foundation that determines how far a warrior can go and how high he can climb.
"But since attribute affinity is also a talent, why is there no option similar to "wind attribute affinity increase" on System Panel?"
Fang Han's footsteps paused slightly, and then resumed their original rhythm.
He quickly reviewed in his mind the timing of System Panel's various Talent Amplification options.
Secret Technique Talent Amplification appeared after he started practicing <Spirit Nose Technique>.
Body Tempering Talent Amplification appeared after he obtained <Black Tortoise True Art> and tried to master the master-level Horizontal Training technique.
Sword Art, footwork, and bones—the timing of the appearance of these Talent Amplification options, without exception, only appeared after he came into contact with this field.
The appearance of a certain Talent Amplification option requires conditional triggering.
It doesn't appear out of thin air, but there is an "opportunity", just like a door that requires a specific key to open.
If you have not started practicing the secret technique, there will be no Secret Technique Talent Amplification option; if you have not started practicing the Horizontal Training method, there will be no Body Tempering Talent Amplification option.
Then, the Talent Amplification option such as wind attribute affinity does not appear, probably because he has not yet reached the triggering conditions.
"What exactly are the triggering conditions?"
Fang Han frowned and thought.
He has been practicing wind attribute martial arts for several years. <Void-Sundering Nine Swords> has reached Perfection Realm, and <Void-Sundering Sword Manual> has even entered the Proficiency Realm realm. Why hasn't the wind attribute affinity Talent Amplification option been triggered yet?
If the triggering conditions are not met, what are the triggering conditions?
"Don't think too much, it will happen naturally when the time comes!"
Fang Han shook his head and suppressed this question for the time being.
He still hasn't been able to fully understand all the mysteries of System Panel.
Some things cannot be rushed. When the time comes, they will naturally fall into place.
In the following days, Fang Han wore Wind Jade on his body without fail every day to assist the cultivation of <Void-Sundering Sword Manual> and <Wind God Step>.
Wind Concept is getting stronger and stronger day by day, and Sword Technique and Body Movement are making progress more and more rapidly.
In addition, Internal Qi, Horizontal Training, and the practice of secret techniques have not been left behind.
The first day, the second day, the third day.
The gains brought by Wind Jade are continuing to ferment, and Fang Han can clearly feel that the threshold leading to the Proficiency Realm is getting thinner little by little.
The fifth day, the seventh day.
Seven days later, in the afternoon.
The obsidian-paved backyard Cultivation Ground was slightly heated by the afternoon sun. There were faint waves of steam in the air, but strangely there was no sound of wind.
Fang Han stood in the center of the field, closing his eyes and concentrating. The Wind Jade on his neck was close to his chest, exuding a constant warmth and coolness.
<Wind God Step>'s thoughts slowly flowed through my mind.
In the past seven days, the gains of Wind Jade and the increases of Footwork Talent have been superimposed, allowing him to advance rapidly along the way of Body Movement.
Those subtleties that originally required repeated study and analysis are now as natural as breathing.
He could clearly feel that the bottleneck leading to the Proficiency Realm was so thin that only the last layer of window paper remained.
He opened his eyes and moved.
"Whoosh--"
There was no Break the Wind sound, no sound of clothes fluttering, and even the afterimage was so faint that it was almost invisible.
The green-robed figure shuttled silently among the Cultivation Ground, flashing from the east wall to the west corner. Before the trace of the figure disappeared from the field of vision, the figure had already turned towards the south wall.
There is no sluggishness in the turning points, no shock in the ups and downs, just like a real wind, freely coming and going in this small area.
His speed was getting faster and faster, so fast that even he was a little surprised.
The criss-crossing sword marks on the obsidian ground flew past his feet and were left far behind.
The feeling of being in harmony with the wind and the heaven and earth is extremely strong.
At some point -
"Buzz..."
A soft cry that only he could feel resounded from deep within his body.
The sound was so soft that it was almost undetectable, but it seemed as if an invisible door had opened.
In the next moment, his understanding of <Wind God Step> took a qualitative leap.
Those changes that once required deliberate control can now be achieved at will and at your fingertips.
His speed suddenly skyrocketed.
It was so fast that even he himself had no time to adapt.
Originally, he was still about ten feet away from the south wall, but with this sudden advance, his body was like a blue lightning that hit him straight.
Fortunately, he reacted very quickly. The moment he was about to hit the wall, he twisted around, tapped his toes on the wall, and his whole body was like a catkin blown up by the wind, floating silently to the other side of Cultivation Ground.
"<Wind God Step>, Proficiency Realm."
Fang Han collected his figure and stood in the center of the open space.
The green robe did not move at all, and his breath was as steady as water, but in those eyes, there was a trace of unconcealable joy that flashed away.
He savored the changes brought about by the breakthrough.
The speed is several times faster than that of Minor Accomplishment.
That kind of speed is no longer a simple straight-line sprint, but a kind of erratic and agility that blends into the wind and is consistent with the heaven and earth.
If his Body Movement speed before was only not slower than the ordinary First Grade warrior, then at this moment, it was truly surpassed.
If Meng Zhao had been so fast when he encountered Songquan Prefecture outside, the old man wouldn't even be able to touch his shadow.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Fang Han was not in a hurry to leave Cultivation Ground, but practiced in the field for a while to adapt to the skyrocketing speed after the breakthrough.
Every emergency stop, every turn, and every subtle change of direction will become more smooth and precise through repeated practice.
There were beads of sweat on his forehead, but his eyes were surprisingly bright.
It wasn't until the sun set in the west and the clouds on the horizon were dyed a magnificent orange that he stopped and let out a long breath.
In the corridor, Qui Lan was no longer there, holding a tray in his hand, with a pot of herbal tea and several tea cups placed on the tray.
Seeing him calm down, she stepped forward, placed the tray on the stone table, poured a cup from the pot, and held it in front of Fang Han with both hands.
"Senior brother, dinner is ready."
Fang Han took the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp, nodded, sheathed Cloudsplitter Sword, and walked towards the Side Hall.
The lights in the Side Hall are brightly lit, and the table is filled with dishes.
In the middle, a large celadon basin holds braised demon elbow, bright red in color, and steaming tremblingly.
Next to it is a steamed sea bass lying among green onions, the fish meat is white and tender.
A plate of beef with soy sauce cut evenly thin and thick, with clear texture.
A plate of green vegetables with garlic paste is bright and green.
There are also several plates of exquisite side dishes and a pot of perfectly scalded rice wine.
Fang Han sat down at the table, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of elbow and put it into his mouth.
The meat is crispy, fat but not greasy, and the sauce is salty with a hint of sweetness, making your mouth full of saliva when it melts on the tip of your tongue.
He picked up another piece of beef and chewed it carefully. He picked up the wine glass and took a sip. The warm wine slid into his throat, dispelling some of the fatigue accumulated from days of practice.
He didn't eat quickly, but every bite was delicious.
The next morning.
The morning light penetrated through the gaps in the window lattice, casting slender light and shadow on the blue brick floor.
Sandalwood Incense Green smoke curls up in the furnace, and the faint aroma is intertwined with the cool morning air, slowly flowing in Quiet Room.
Fang Han sat cross-legged on the futon, poured a grain of Heaven Origin Pill from the jade bottle and took it into his mouth.
Danyao melts in the mouth, and a warm and majestic medicinal power melts in the belly, like a river bursting its banks, rushing to the limbs and bones.
"Wow!"
Fang Han closes his eyes and <Azure Profound Art> runs slowly.
The blue-gold Internal Qi flows through the meridians, like a fine net, capturing, absorbing, and refining the medicinal power of Heaven Origin Pill.
The power of the medicine is transformed into wisps of pure Internal Qi, which circulate along the meridians and then pour into Jingming Acupoint.
After the cultivation level reaches Upper Third Grade, due to the substantial improvement in the quality of Internal Qi, the time required to condense each trace of Internal Qi takes several times as much time as before Upper Third Grade.
However, with the blessing of 256 times Root Bone Talent Amplification, and the assistance of precious Danyao such as Heaven Origin Pill, the growth of Internal Qi can still be called "thousands of miles per day".
The rushing Internal Qi is like a river flowing into the sea, and each cycle brings a subtle but solid growth.
He could clearly feel that the mist-like blue-gold Internal Qi in Jingming Acupoint was becoming more and more full at a considerable speed.
More than an hour later, the medicinal power of Heaven Origin Pill was completely refined and absorbed.
"Soon!"
Fang Han slowly opened his eyes, and a ray of light golden light flashed in his eyes and disappeared immediately.
He gently exhaled a breath of turbid air. The breath was condensed and not dissipated. It shot out about a foot like an arrow and drew a pale white trajectory in Quiet Room before slowly dissipating.
Internal Qi among Jingming Acupoint is more than 95% full.
It's not far from Second Grade.
