Light Annihilation State

Something stirred in Xia Lun's mind, and the cobalt-blue Information Panel spilled into view like mercury across the floor.

[Specialization progress!]

[Through a sudden insight, your Specialization "Cold Weapon (Sword) Use" has advanced significantly!]

[Cold Weapon (Sword) Use (Mastery 74% → 79%)!]

[Cold Weapon (Sword) Use (Mastery 79%): Through highly unusual insights and practice, your understanding of sword weapons has begun to transcend the purely physical. You have started to grasp "Echo." To you, swords are not only a medium for sensing and changing the outside world, but also a medium for sensing and changing yourself.]

Good grief, is that really describing swordsmanship? Xia Lun could not help thinking. This is less about swordsmanship than using it as an excuse to understand the world more deeply.

Using swordsmanship to sense and control force at least had some physical basis. But using it to sense "Echo" was getting rather abstract.

The problem was that Xia Lun's experience with swordsmanship told him this abstract "Echo" really existed.

Echo and force are different. Echo must come first in time, while the two coexist in space, Xia Lun thought. That's also why I was able to beat the Brigadier General after activating Wind Whisperer.

Come to think of it, I might be able to sense Echo through swordsmanship and improve how efficiently force travels through my body. His thoughts picked up speed. I might even be able to use Echo to clear the blockages in my body and improve my physical capabilities.

Mastery 79% must be a threshold for swordsmanship. Once I fully grasp Echo, I should be able to break through it. If I keep going, I might even create my own skills through swordsmanship, like the Brigadier General.

A flicker of anticipation rose in Xia Lun's heart.
