Chapter 392 - 281: Magic Library’s Full Upgrade!
[Light Body Technique]
This was a supportive type of Magic.
The principle was to channel Spiritual Qi to form a faint updraft beneath the feet, reducing one’s body weight.
This would allow for more agile movement, and higher, longer jumps.
He followed the Technique, circulating a trace of Sword Essence under the soles of his feet.
Soon, he felt his body lighten, as if his feet had lost some of their weight.
He leaped lightly, soaring more than three meters into the air before gently landing.
’Hmm, Entry Level.’
The moment his feet touched the ground, he didn’t stop. Instead, he channeled his Sword Essence to form a continuous miniature cyclone beneath his feet, causing his entire body to levitate in mid-air, about half a meter off the ground.
[Ding! Wind Attribute Spiritual Power flight item detected. Establish Spiritual Link?]
The familiar system notification chimed.
’It’s just as I thought!’
Han Feng’s heart settled with confidence.
The core of the system’s judgment wasn’t the object’s form, but rather the two conditions: "possessing Spirituality" and "achieving flight."
Since he could make himself fly, from the system’s perspective, he himself was a "Human-shaped Flying Sword."
"Link!"
HUMMM!
It was a completely different experience from last night.
This time, his consciousness wasn’t pulled away. Instead, it instantly merged with the surrounding air.
The world before his eyes was no longer made of solid matter.
He "saw" countless cyan and pale white currents of air swirling around him. Some were gentle, others turbulent.
He could clearly feel the breath of the wind, the pulse of the clouds.
He was the wind, and the wind was him.
’This feeling...’
In this wondrous state, when he looked back at the Technique for the [Light Body Technique], it seemed incredibly crude.
’What a waste. It’s like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.’
He immediately began his own Magical Modification.
’Since I’m controlling airflow, why limit it to the soles of my feet?’
’All three hundred and sixty acupoints in my body can become jets for the airflow!’
Han Feng’s mind raced, the complex aerodynamic model of a "Ghost" fighter jet appearing in his thoughts.
’The core concept isn’t to fight gravity, but to use gravity to command the airflow!’
His Divine Sense became an invisible carving knife, beginning to construct a brand new, unseen Energy Force Field in the air around him.
Following his frantic modifications, the airflow around his body became orderly and efficient.
Han Feng focused his will.
"Rise!"
SWOOSH!
Effortlessly, he shot straight up, instantly ascending ten meters into the sky and stopping perfectly still, his body unmoving.
Immediately after, he performed a series of maneuvers in the air that an ordinary person would find incomprehensible.
Aileron rolls, sudden stops, high-speed pirouettes in a tight space.
He even executed a perfect "Z" pattern mid-air, completely defying the effects of inertia.
This was no longer the Light Body Technique; this was true Riding the Wind!
[Ding! Congratulations, Host. By using the wind spirit as a sword, you have comprehended the art of "Wind Master." Light Body Technique EXP +300.]
[Light Body Technique: Entry Level (1/100) → Mastery (101/400)]
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for comprehending a Middle Tier self-created Magic: Wind Manipulation Technique!]
[Wind Manipulation Technique: Entry Level (1/1000)]
Han Feng landed on the ground, feeling the slight drain on his Spiritual Power, and nodded in satisfaction.
’This is true flight.’
Moreover, this [Wind Manipulation Technique] wasn’t just for travel.
He extended a finger, and an invisible wisp of wind gathered and compressed at its tip.
SHIING!
A crescent-shaped, transparent Wind Blade shot out, silently streaking across the lawn and leaving a clean cut half a foot deep in a large tree fifty meters away.
[Wind Blade: Entry Level (1/100)]
’A decent move. Although it’s not as powerful as Sword Qi Release or Sword Aura, its advantage is that it doesn’t consume my own Sword Aura. It only requires a small amount of Spiritual Power to cast, making it perfect for wiping out weaklings.’
This was just what he had gained from a simple exploration of the Light Body Technique. He wondered what he could comprehend from the other Magic techniques.
Thinking of this, Han Feng turned his attention to the next Magic.
[Vine Technique].
This was a basic Wood Element Magic, but Han Feng’s Innate Sword Body was of the metal attribute. His energy was inherently suffused with an aura of Sharpness and decay, which naturally conflicted with the endless vitality of the Wood Element.
On his first attempt, the vines he sprouted were instantly corroded by the sharp aura of his Sword Essence the moment they left the ground, withering and turning brittle.
’Elemental repulsion, huh...’
Han Feng wasn’t discouraged. On the contrary, he found it even more challenging.
He tried to change the output method of his Sword Essence, simulating a gentler energy fluctuation, but he failed.
The tyrannical nature of his Innate Sword Body wasn’t something that could be easily concealed with mere skill.
He didn’t consider how to neutralize the energy. Instead, he did the exact opposite.
’If they can’t coexist, then I’ll make them Mutate!’
He once again sprouted the vines. At the same time, he used his Divine Sense to inscribe miniature Energy Channels—analyzed from the [Blood Burning Secret Manual]—inside the vines, and forcibly infused a trace of crimson-gold [Soul-Burning Sword Aura] as the core.
This time, the vines didn’t wither. Instead, they underwent a bizarre transformation!
Their entire bodies turned dark red, and metallic-textured barbs grew on their surface. They were no longer "living things," but had been transformed into pure weapons of slaughter, fueled by Life Force!
[Ding! Detected Mutated Wood Element energy Flying Sword...]
In the state of "man and vine as one," he felt a vibrant and tenacious Life Force.
He once again put his scientific mind to work, transforming the vines’ internal structure into a high-strength configuration resembling muscle fibers, and inscribed miniature Runes for "tenacity" and "Proliferation."
Ultimately, he created a completely new form of Magic.
He pointed at an empty patch of ground, and dozens of dark green vines instantly burst forth from the earth.
