There were many requirements for the Windstorm Sword Hero. Firstly, it had to be in terms of attributes. It required 45 + strength, 60 + agility, 45 + reaction, 35 + endurance, and 35 + flexibility.
Such a requirement for attributes was similar to that of many Warriors who had just completed the first transition. For ordinary Warriors to attain such attributes before the first transition, they would probably have to practice the Nurturing and Training techniques day and night, continuously accumulating and depleting their potential.
Those with outstanding aptitude would need to spend five to six years, those with mediocre aptitude would need over ten years, and those with poor aptitude would need twenty to thirty years to attain such attributes. This was the requirement for a Windstorm Sword Hero in terms of attributes.
Even Fang Xingjian lacked 5 points in strength, 17 points in agility, 22 points in reflexes, 5 points in endurance, and 3 points in flexibility.
However, his potential development was more than ten times that of an ordinary person. Now that there were many sword techniques in the library waiting for him to learn, he was still confident that he could achieve the attribute requirements.
Apart from attributes, the next would be talents. Transitioning into a Windstorm Sword Hero required a total of three specialities, namely Heightened Reflexes, Perfect Muscles and High Agility Motion Vision.
Rapid Reflex required ten thousand reflexes within 0.1 seconds. After obtaining the specialty, one would be able to instinctively react to combat in any situation, reducing the reflex time of the practitioner by half.
Perfect Muscles was even more difficult. It required all the muscles in the body to have the endurance of red muscles and the explosive power of white muscles. It was just like how a person's muscles could have the endurance of a marathon champion and the explosive power of a sprint champion.
This specialty could increase a cultivator's strength and agility attribute by 10% of the endurance attribute.
In other words, if his endurance was 50 points, his speed and strength would each increase by 5 points.
The last one was the High Agility Dynamic Vision. To obtain this specialty, one had to avoid ten thousand high-speed attacks with their sight while shutting off their sense of hearing.
After obtaining the High Sensitivity Dynamic Vision specialty, it would increase the transmission speed of the optic nerve, strengthening the practitioner's dynamic vision.
The three specialties were the basics for the Windstorm Sword Hero transition, as well as the basic requirements for high-speed battles. Moreover, they were purely specialties that required hard work and hard training. There were no tricks at all.
As for techniques, the Windstorm Sword Hero's job transition did not include any options for techniques.
The final requirements for the Waves and mental cultivation method were the Mistral Windgod's Waves and the Ice Age Meditation Art respectively.
Speaking of Waves and mental cultivation methods, this was something that could change the frequency of one's life, fundamentally changing the physical body.
Among them, the mental cultivation method mainly changed one's thoughts. The ripples changed his body and his bloodline.
Naturally, they had to pay attention to the coordination between each other. Only by matching each other would they be able to bring out the best effect.
There were also two types of Waves and mental cultivation methods: the basic type and the special type.
For example, the Mistral Windgod's Waves was a special type. When cultivated to a high level, it could work together with ether particles to control the atmosphere and strong winds.
The basic type of Waves did not have any external extraordinary powers. They purely communicated with ether particles to strengthen the physical body.
It was the same for mental cultivation methods. When a special type of mental cultivation method reached a high enough level, it would be able to interfere with matter.
On the other hand, the Ice Age Meditation Art belonged to the basic category. It purely increased one's calculation ability, reaction speed, and other basic attributes.
Regardless of mental cultivation method or Waves, the special type was to interfere with the material world, while the basic type was to strengthen one's body. Both had their own uses, and it was hard to tell which was better.
As for the Windstorm Sword Hero's Waves and mental cultivation method, it was the Mistral Windgod's Waves that controlled strong gales, while the Ice Age Meditation Art strengthened one's brain, nerves and thoughts. A combination of a special type and a basic type.
Looking at the targets he had written down on the paper, Fang Xingjian thought to himself, 'First, I must cultivate my attributes. After all, Heightened Reflexes and High Agility Motion Vision are all attributes. As long as my attributes are high enough, and the cultivator's attributes are high enough, the speed of cultivating these two specialties will be very fast.'
Just as he was planning, a knock rang out on the door, and a maid brought Manny in. The latter carried many books and said, "Here, these are all the sword techniques you've requested. The most outstanding Nurturing sword techniques from the various major categories, the Training sword techniques from the five main attributes, and these are the famous sword techniques of Tempest Overlord Charlie Man, Gale Sword Deity Jude Law, and Aurora Sword Spirit McDowell. "However, their most profound sword techniques cannot be found in the Prefectural Academy. Only the sword techniques they had cultivated before and during the first transition have been recorded here."
"That's enough …" Fang Xingjian smiled. Out of the three specialties, the one he had the least confidence in was Perfect Muscles. This speciality was simply heaven-defying. It required one to crazily destroy one's muscles and bones time and time again.
However, when he had read the biographies of the various experts, he had discovered that there were only three Windstorm Sword Heroes in the history of the Empire, and all of them had become level 30 Divine level experts. They were Tempest Overlord Charlie Man, Gale Sword Deity Jude Law, and Aurora Sword Spirit McDowell.
This was also one of the reasons why he had chosen the Windstorm Sword Hero. He had asked Manny to bring over the sword techniques they had cultivated when they were young, in order to search for the profoundness behind the speciality Perfect Muscles.
He believed that if he were to cultivate the basic sword techniques of the three of them to the maximum level, he would at least be able to obtain information on Perfect Muscles.
'Every morning when I cultivate the Nurturing and Training techniques, I'll first increase the lower attributes, then increase them with potential when the attributes are low. Thereafter, I'll increase them with the additional attributes gained from cultivating the sword techniques. This is more worth it.'
After all, his current reaction was 23, and he only needed to expend 20,000 potential points to increase it by 1 point. When his attributes were high, it would be more worth it to increase his reaction with the additional attributes gained from the various level 10 sword techniques.
On the contrary, when his attributes were low, he would use the additional attributes gained from the sword techniques to increase them. When his attributes reached 40 or 50 points, each additional point would require 40,000 to 50,000 potential points, which would be much higher than what he had now.
'In the morning, I'll cultivate my attributes through the Nurturing and Training techniques, and in the afternoon, I'll research the basic sword techniques and experiences of the three experts.' Fang Xingjian wrote as he spoke, 'At night, I'll learn Waves and mental cultivation methods.
'If I do this for a month … I'll make adjustments according to the situation.'
Fang Xingjian's strategy was to use his sword arts talent, using his potential points and the additional attributes gained from every 10 levels of his sword techniques to increase his attributes rapidly.
He would then use his high attributes to suppress others and cultivate Heightened Reflexes and High Agility Motion Vision.
Next, he would use his super strong sword arts talent to learn all the basic sword techniques of the three experts, and then use them to train the speciality Perfect Muscles.
He had yet to think of any good ideas for the final Waves and mental cultivation methods, and could only temporarily learn them by himself like an ordinary person.
Just as Fang Xingjian was immersed in his plan, Class 256's instructor, Dick, walked over with a grim expression. He slammed open the door and stood before Fang Xingjian.
He looked at Fang Xingjian, a hint of anger flashing past his face as he asked, "Fang Xingjian, do you know what you're doing?" This time around, when he found out that Fang Xingjian had chosen to transition to a rare job, he had scolded him for making a fool of himself.
Putting aside Fang Xingjian's own future, as the instructor of Class 256, if the Prefectural Champion of his class were to fail his job transition, it would obviously cause his evaluation in the academy to look extremely bad. It might even affect his official career and his status in his clan.
He threw a glance at the plan on Fang Xingjian's paper, feeling even more furious. 'Do you think that just because you've become the Prefectural Champion once, you have unparalleled talent, that you're so arrogant? 'Do you think that you're the only one who's smart and talented, able to take on jobs that others can't? 'Why don't you think about it? Other than you, there are eight other classes in the academy. Other than the one who has already entered the Regional Selection, there are still seven other Prefectural Champions. I can tell you that, including Lawrence who has passed the Regional Selection and entered the Regional Royal Academy, none of the Prefectural Champions have not transitioned from one of these seventeen jobs.'
Fang Xingjian lifted his head, looked at Dick, and said calmly, "So what?"
Dick felt exasperated at Fang Xingjian's failure to meet his expectations. "Do you know how many people in the entire history of the Empire became a Windstorm Sword Hero in the first transition? Three, just three. They were all legendary existences who eventually became Divine level experts. Do you think that your talent is comparable to theirs? "
Fang Xingjian said, "I think it's possible."
With a bang, Dick smashed the table in front of Fang Xingjian into two halves with a single palm strike, and the fragments of books flew everywhere.
"Ignorant.
"Arrogant."
After saying these two sentences, Dick turned to leave, as if completely disappointed in Fang Xingjian. However, when he reached the door, he still said, "I've already reported this matter to the Headmaster and Lord Huang Lin. Think of how you're going to explain it to them."
