Wind Demonization
A warrior's special ability had always been their greatest reliance. Warriors with special abilities were like the difference between heaven and earth when compared to ordinary combatants, especially high-level warriors, who possessed unparalleled power. Some people said that if a warrior reached the limit of his special ability, he could destroy the heavens and the earth. Although this statement was a bit exaggerated, it also showed how powerful a warrior with special abilities was.
To determine whether a warrior was strong enough, one must first look at the type and rank of their special ability. Usually, the higher the rank of a warrior, the stronger their combat power. Of course, this was not always the case.
For example, Xia Fei's speed ability might be one of the two most common special abilities in the universe, but once he reached a higher rank, he would be able to unleash a combat power that far surpassed his opponents of the same rank.
Speed ability users were not strong in the beginning stages. For example, if a Primary Starlight Tier speed ability user were to fight against a Primary Starlight Tier strength ability user, the latter would have a 90% chance of winning.
However, if both sides were Galaxy Rank Ability Users, the Speed Ability User would have the absolute upper hand. Even Legendary or Eternal Rank Ability Users would not be a match for the Speed Ability User. This was because after the Speed Ability User reached the Galaxy Rank, they would have a speed of nearly ten thousand meters per second. Such a high speed would not even be enough to describe it as fast as lightning. Other than a few Special Ability Users who could restrain this lightning-like speed, no one could match it. Even if they could not win, a high-level Speed Ability User could easily retreat and be in an invincible position from the very beginning.
Aside from the type of special ability, a warrior's endurance was also very important. A warrior with a higher endurance would undoubtedly have the upper hand when they were of the same rank. Back then, Xia Fei managed to tie with Chen Dong, who was much stronger than him, with his Crafty Approach.
Xia Fei suddenly felt an uncontrollable excitement after reading Fangyuan's information. His slightly dizzy mind was quickly clearing up, and every cell in his body was accumulating strength.
He began to look forward to seeing Fangyuan's performance. He even had a vague desire to exchange a few blows with him. Perhaps it was the instinct of a warrior.
There would always be some special enemies that could excite people, and Fangyuan was undoubtedly one of them. That was because he had a terrifying special ability: Wind Demonization!
Xia Fei had only read about this legendary ability in books. There were only a few abilities that could match a true speed ability user, and Fangyuan's Enchanted Gale was one of them.
If it was just an increase in speed, it would not be surprising. After all, there was no lack of speed ability users in this world. Moreover, those with the Demonic Gale ability would still be fifty percent slower than pure speed ability users at the same level.
However, just like the name of this special ability, Demonization of Gale was not as simple as an increase in speed. The reason why it was named as such was because it had another characteristic apart from speed, the ability to demonize!
Demonization usually referred to the amplification of a certain aspect of an ability user's abilities. It could be their own strength, or it could be the sharpening of their bones, and so on. The only thing that could be confirmed was that Fangyuan must have another hidden ability that was extremely offensive in addition to his speed being close to Xia Fei's.
It was like splitting a person's ability into two. The speed part could be used for defense and evasion, while the offensive part could be used to take the opponent's life. Moreover, once a warrior's speed was enhanced, their offensive power would increase correspondingly.
Xia Fei could not be compared to the current Xia Fei before he obtained his psychokinesis ability. Phantom speculated that Xia Fei's combat power had increased by at least four times after he obtained his psychokinesis ability!
That was definitely a shocking number. According to the one-plus-one theory, a dual ability user should have an increase of two times, but Xia Fei's first ability just had to be speed!
The speed ability might not be as flashy as psychokinesis, but it was the best support-type ability in the universe, and a successful team could not lack a high rank speed ability user.
After Xia Fei obtained two abilities, it was equivalent to him taking on all the abilities that a team should have. He could scout, attack, and even defend, making him the perfect combination for a team.
What was even more enviable was that all these abilities were concentrated in a single person!
Usually, a team would need many years to work together, familiarizing themselves with each other's characteristics and tactics. Unless they were triplets like the Ling brothers, who could communicate with each other telepathically, it would take many years just to train a team.
However, Xia Fei did not have any such concerns. He had two abilities on him. Working together? Who had ever seen a mistake in working with the left and right hand?
Even the three brothers of the Ling family could not compare to Xia Fei's teamwork, let alone the other ordinary teams.
It was because of all this that Xia Fei was able to be so calm, and his combat power had increased by a whole four times!
The fat man named Fangyuan was very similar to Xia Fei. He had both speed and offensive power, and his master was very powerful, too, so he must have learned a lot of martial arts manuals from them.
He was two levels higher than Xia Fei, having reached the intermediate Star River rank. As a dual ability user, the only difference was that Fangyuan's ability was split into two, while Xia Fei's was able to combine the two abilities into one.
If Xia Fei was the only dual ability user in the world, then Fangyuan's Wind Demonization would be the closest existence to Xia Fei.
Therefore, Xia Fei could not suppress his excitement when he first saw Fangyuan's ability. If he were to fight him, it would be a duel between two abilities! It would definitely be an exciting fight!
Xia Fei's right hand, which was holding the cigarette, was trembling slightly. His eyes widened as his excitement was written all over his face. Phantom could see everything clearly.
"What do you think? You really want to fight this Fangyuan guy, right? "Phantom asked.
Xia Fei nodded without denying it. "That's right. After all, his ability is no different from dual abilities. If I were to fight him, I'm sure it would be an exciting fight!"
Phantom nodded. "The Demon ability is quite rare. His rank is higher than yours, but you're a true dual ability user, while he's an evolved dual ability user. It's hard to tell who will win between the two of you."
Xia Fei did not say a word. The demonic ability that Phantoms had mentioned was actually some unreliable unofficial historical records. They classified the wind demonization ability into a special ability category, the demonic type.
Legend had it that the inheritors of the Demon ability all had a very special bloodline. In ancient times, there was a race that was not originally human that lived with humans. They looked almost identical to humans, but they did not share the same origin. They called themselves the Demon Eye race, while humans called them the Demon race.
Later on, as humans continued to grow stronger, the Demon Eye race gradually declined. A small portion of the Demon Eye race tried to intermarry with humans, giving birth to hybrids between humans and the Demon Eye race.
The children born after intermarriage between the Magic Eye group and humans looked exactly the same as humans, but there was a difference in the type of ability. Legend had it that only such mixed-bloods had a certain chance of obtaining a demonic ability. As for ordinary humans, it was impossible for them to have such a chance.
Xia Fei's eyes lit up as he looked at Fangyuan, who was standing next to the ring.
Perhaps sensing Xia Fei's fighting spirit, Fangyuan turned around and looked at Xia Fei arrogantly. Xia Fei's appearance was very ordinary. He was the type that would be forgotten after a single glance. He was not as' outstanding 'as Fangyuan.
However, the blade next to Xia Fei was anything but ordinary. One could even say that it was ferocious.
It was taller than Xia Fei. There were two glaring blood grooves on its body, and countless sharp barbs.
Even those with poor eyesight would be able to tell that the Bloodthirsty Screech was different from the others because it looked too wild. Even though Xia Fei had placed it next to him, he could still feel its destructive aura.
Xia Fei's combat suit was as wild as his blade. Together, they gave off a heavy sense of oppression. Coupled with Xia Fei's short white hair that did not match his age and his calm demeanor, Fangyuan only needed a single glance to remember him. He was certain that Xia Fei was an opponent worth fighting.
An evil smile appeared on Fangyuan's round face. He extended his right thumb at Xia Fei and slowly turned it over so that the tip of his thumb was pointing at the ground.
Xia Fei, of course, understood the universal gesture. He could feel his fighting spirit surging in his chest. He stood up with his left hand holding the hilt of his saber.
About a second later, Xia Fei unwillingly let go, returning to his seat as if he had become a stranger to them.
"What's wrong with you?" asked Phantom.
Xia Fei smiled helplessly. "I almost forgot that this is the Assassin Sect's business. It has nothing to do with me. I just want to sit here and watch the show."
Phantom pouted. "What are you talking about? You're the representative of the Assassin Sect. You're considered one of us."
Xia Fei did not say a word. His eyes met Fangyuan's fearless gaze. Sparks flew out of their eyes.
There were thousands of people in the ring. Xia Fei's action was not out of line, so not many people noticed it.
Craneshadow, who was sitting to the east, saw everything clearly. He frowned slightly and stroked his beard as if he was thinking about something.
Craneshadow was very clear about Xia Fei's trump card. From the information provided by Darkshadow, Xia Fei was most likely a rare dual ability user. His cultivation was close to the Star River rank. Furthermore, he seemed to have used some technique that Craneshadow did not understand when he was fighting the silver snake. Craneshadow speculated that it was some kind of ocular technique.
Craneshadow shook his head and got rid of his ridiculous thoughts. Xia Fei was not a disciple of the Assassin Sect, so he could not get an outsider to fight on behalf of the sect.
The sparring field was very noisy. More and more people were gathering. Nobody noticed a pair of white eyes observing everything that was happening in the field from the side of a small window. It was Craneshadow's senior brother, Shadowless.
