Chapter 21: Ranking up Frenzy
1488 Words
He could not always hope that the point required to rank up decreases. He could not always his luck would be good.
He still has a lot of martial skill points. But he did not immediately sweep up all the martial skill points yet. He wanted to use the Lightness Skill points first.
He checks at his lightness skill
[Swift Strides (Master)] [Cloud Stepping Steps (Master)] [Striding on Water (-)]
This is the three lightness skill he has. Two of them he bought from the store while the Striding on Water was something he got from the lottery draw.
He has 88,880 Lightness skill points.
He had experience personally how useful it is to have powerful lightness skill.
It made him be able to toy with such a martial artist.
Of course Wang Li is not some experts in martial arts but at least he should have been able to defend against Li Xian attack.
The reason why he failed to do so is simply because Li Xian attack was too fast.
The weakens of the Seven Transformation Swordplay is that it lacks variations.
It is straight attack with lack of any confusing movement.
To compensate for that Li Xian combined his lighten skill speed and his sword slash
When one could read the patterns, if the enemies have powerful lightness skill, then the Seven Transformation Swordplay could easily be countered.
The advantage of the Seven Transformation Swordplay is that it impacts and power contained in one s***h is very overbearing.
Actually Li Xian knows that if he reaches a higher level of internal energy, he could probably make Seven Transformation Swordplay become even more powerful.
The advantage of the Seven Transformation Swordplay has always rested in its offensive power. It he has profound internal energy; one s***h could cut down a large tree.
The reason why he could easily kill Wang Li is not only because of the powerful impact of the swordplay but also because of his lightness technique.
That is why he wanted to rank up his lightness skill technique first. He wanted to rank up Swift Strides and Cloud Stepping Steps to grandmaster level.
Before, to rank up to grandmaster level would require fifteen thousand points for grandmaster level.
That means if he wanted to rank up both of the skill into grandmaster level, it requires thirty thousand pints.
But after the battle and after leaning the Six Meridian sword and raising his internal energy power level, the price for ranking up to grandmaster rank for this two lightness skill only requires ten thousand points.
Which means he only have to spend twenty thousand points.
He immediately spends 20,000 points of his lightness skill points to rank up both of the lightness skill into grandmaster rank.
The moment he did that the same process of enlightening happens to him again.
He felt like he had trained both of those lightness skill for decades and then his mind is full of images of him running and employing the two moves skillfully, dodging all attacks with graceful elegance.
The images become his memories and it imprinted itself into the muscle memory of LI Xian.
Li Xian did not even realize that he is closing his eyes during this enlightenment period.
And when he opens it back up, he felt like his entire body felt light for a moment before feeling back the usual weight on his body.
He knew exactly how to use the center of gravity of his body and how to shift his weight to other parts of his body skillfully.
He took a deep breath and release it back, feeling pretty good about himself. The Striding on Water is the only lightness skill technique that he had not rank up.
He still has a lot of lightness skill points. He decided to rank up the Striding on Water straight to Grandmaster rank.
He spends 21,060 points to rank up Striding on Water straight to grandmaster level.
He closes his eyes and he is in front of a lake. The lake is large and wide. There is only water and no stone steps that floats on the lake. Around the lake there is white fog and no one could see beyond the thick white fog.
Li Xian was used to this. Each time he raises his rank there is this images inside his mind that guide him on how to master the technique.
In the game it could be considered the training animation.
Looking at the lake, there is another Li Xian. Li Xian look at this other self.
Li Xian in this vision is a little more adult like. This illusion of his other -self calm his mind. Then he taps the ground and jump upwards to the air and dive down toward the water.
Like a feather being blown by the wind, Li Xian in this illusion seems very light.
Li Xian could see with his eye where the energy comes from and where it was directed to.
The soles of feet, the meridians channels of the feet seem to lit up with the acupoint that is responsible for evenly coating the soles of the feet with internal energy and all of this process is exposed to Li Xian.
Li Xian is seeing that other Li Xian tap the water of the lake. The point of the soles seems to create a ripple onto the still lake.
The energy that come out of the soles of the feet during that one brief moment where Li Xian feet touch the water seems to burst out.
The bursting out period is brief. Only one second. But that is the point of bursting out that allows the other Li Xian to stride on the water easily like the liquid water is some solid ground.
Like a carefree immortal, the other Li Xian runs across the lake, not falling down to the bottom. The concentration and mastery of internal energy is crucial.
Losing concentration, and missing the timing, one would fall down into the lake.
If Li Xian had to understand this manually and learn this manually, who knows how many years it would take him.
Li Xian understands it and the moment he understands it, the image disappeared and Li Xian in the real world opened his eyes.
He smiles a bit.
All three of his lightness technique is on grandmaster level. This fills him with a little bit of security in traversing this treacherous world.
After all, if he could not win a fight, he could still run away.
He still has 47820 lightness skill points. He decided to see the System Store to buy a few more lightness skill.
Lightness skill points is unlike Life Skill points and Martial Skill points. Life skill points and martial skill points at least could be used to opened up meridian
But lightness skill points could only be used to level up Lightness skill technique.
He wanted to use up all of his points.
The fight between him Wang Li might not shows that he is nervous. But that was because he is in the fight.
Adrenaline surging and his focus was at the utmost. Now that he had done fighting Wang Li, he could only imagine the consequences if he had lost.
The more he thought about the grim possibility of him losing, the more it became urgent in his heart to raise his power.
What use of planning for the long term if he could not even be sure he would live tomorrow. When one has the points, spend it to strengthen oneself.
Sooner or later, there would be a quest where he could make a killing with it. He opens up the System Store and check around the lightness skill techniques.
He saw two lightness skills and bought both of them. Each of the lightness skill seems to have a price increase.
Now, it is no longer 8 Ding. But instead it is 10 Ding. He bought two using twenty Ding. Just like that money is washed away.
Li Xian sighed a bit.
‘Easy come, easy go’ he muttered to himself.
He bought the Water Stepping Jump and Whirlwind Step.

Water Stepping Jump

This lightness skill is like the evolution of the Striding on Water lightness skill.
The other lightness skill he bought is the Lightning Step. He checks the description of the skill

Whirlwind Step

[ Slip into the currents of the air, spinning like a leaf rising into the wind]
[Learning this skill will enable the practitioner to triple jump on the air and spins in the air to raise speed momentum]
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Li Xian look at the requirements and he smiles. He had already learned Cloud Stepping Step until grandmaster rank so he had fulfilled the requirements already
He then looked at the lightness skill points that he had left.
It is enough to both rank this lightness skill to grandmaster level.
