Chapter 200: Chapter 57 Instantly Realize Profound Skill ’Wind Roll Cloud

He then talked about a plot involving the Jade Emperor recruiting officials, and when he mentioned inviting Sun Wukong to the Heavenly Court, Nameless White Ape showed his disdain with a sneer, "Hmph, surely there’s no good in that."

But when it got to the part where Sun Wukong rebelled against the Heavenly Court and declared himself the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Nameless White Ape revealed a face full of longing.

"Great Sage Equalling Heaven! That title certainly carries a mighty air!"

Xiao Jie very timely threw out a flattery, "Senior Yuan, your saber technique is miraculous, truly deserving of the title Saber Saint."

"Hahaha, what a Saber Saint, I’ve decided from now on I will no longer be the Valley Master of Monkey Valley—I will become—Saber Saint."

Then, the name above Nameless White Ape’s head changed once again—Nameless White Ape (Saber Saint).

Xiao Jie was not surprised, as he had noticed before that NPCs’ titles and their perceptions of themselves seemed to change accordingly.

It was just like Granny Li, who was originally called ’Flying Yaksa’ Li Cuilan.

And Mad Taoist could turn into Feng Yilang as long as his self-perception changed.

Of course, their abilities were also related.

The Nameless White Ape indeed possessed the skills of a Saber Saint, so once his self-perception changed, his name and title changed accordingly.

The story continued, and so did Xiao Jie’s journey of leveling.

By three o’clock in the afternoon, Xiao Jie’s experience points had reached 35%, and the Gale Saber Technique had finally leveled up to LV10.

Finally, he had mastered a full-level saber technique!

Xiao Jie looked at the Gale Saber Technique LV10 in the skill list, feeling quite gratified.

Now he could finally try to instantly realize the profound skill.

Xiao Jie had a rough idea about how to do it, but it was safer to consult someone experienced.

He directly messaged Xia Yi the Unrivaled.

Hidden Moon Following Wind: Xia bro, what are you busy with?

Xia Yi the Unrivaled: What else? Running for my life, man. The Dragon Soaring Knights are a real nuisance. They ignore the trash like the World Association and instead, hassle me.

Hidden Moon Following Wind: Actually, solving this issue is simple. Tell the boss of the Dragon Soaring Knights that you want to join, and they definitely won’t hassle you anymore.

Xia Yi the Unrivaled: Forget it, they accused me of killing people in public, creating a bad influence and disrupting the game’s order. They want to kill me to set an example.

Hidden Moon Following Wind: That’s just a slogan, you’re not really believing it, right?

Xiao Jie then started analyzing for Xia Yi the Unrivaled.

The Human Dao Chapter indeed has its extreme points, but some of its logic is very sound, such as understanding the underlying logic.

Everything has an underlying logic, and understanding this logic reveals the true nature of things.

Otherwise, one can only see the façade, which generally is made for public consumption.

Just like now.

Why do the Dragon Soaring Knights help newcomers? Why do they catch players with red names? They obviously don’t just want to play the good guys.

The ’maintain fair and just order in the game, help weak players survive in this brutal world’ pitch is just a tagline. Their real goal is to establish order, lead order, and become the order.

Whether it’s helping newcomers or catching red names, it’s all for that purpose.

As long as everyone gets used to the order led by the Dragon Soaring Knights, they can naturally become ruler-like figures, the ones calling the shots in Fengyin State.

That’s why they can tolerate the existence of the World Association, because the World Association doesn’t dare to openly challenge the authority of the Dragon Soaring Knights, at least not to the extent of committing murders in public.

And the existence of the World Association gives players a choice, either join the World Association or be oppressed by it. But at the same time, players can also opt to join a far stronger organization like the Dragon Soaring Knights.

So, in a sense, the existence of the World Association helps the Dragon Soaring Knights to expand their influence, creating a stark contrast with the World Association that bullies the weak but protects the newbies and uphold justice, which is very powerful. Any fool knows which side to choose.

Facing this situation, most players will choose to join the seemingly stronger, fairer Dragon Soaring Knights.

Occasionally, the Dragon Soaring Knights also suppress and warn the World Association in front of new players, which further increases the newcomers’ sense of belonging.

Therefore, the Dragon Soaring Knights don’t care about the existence of the World Association at all.

In comparison, Xia Yi the Unrivaled, being a challenger of the social order, was outright a provocation against the Dragon Soaring Knights. If they didn’t handle this situation, how would they continue to dominate Fengyin State?

Because Xia Yi the Unrivaled disrupted the order, the Dragon Soaring Knights couldn’t tolerate his existence, plain and simple.

However, if Xia Yi the Unrivaled chose to join the Dragon Soaring Knights, that would be a different story altogether. They could publicly announce that Xia Yi the Unrivaled had suddenly seen the error of his ways and joined the Dragon Soaring Knights to help build a new gaming environment. His act of murder was, after all, seen as righteous. With a bit of manipulation, it could even enhance the Dragon Soaring Knights’ reputation for recruiting talented individuals who are flexible in upholding the values of chivalry.

After listening to Xiao Jie’s thorough analysis, Xia Yi the Unrivaled was surprised.

Xia Yi the Unrivaled, "Brother, you really have this all figured out with all these intricate details."

Hidden Moon Following Wind, "It’s nothing much, just read some books recently. Actually, it’s like the ancient rulers’ attitude toward rangers. Scholars disrupt the law with their pens, while warriors defy bans with their might. Rulers naturally can’t tolerate anyone challenging their authority and order. They either suppress or co-opt such people. That’s why they say, ’commit murder and arson and then accept amnesty.’

Xia Yi the Unrivaled, "I’ve learned a lot, but well, though the idea is good, I don’t plan to join the Dragon Soaring Knights. If they really want to deal with me, let them come. I’m not afraid of them."

Xiao Jie thought to himself, "Alright... you’re tough."

He figured out that this Xia, to some degree, possessed a hint of romanticism, reminiscent of the ancient preference for treating life and death lightly.

Of course, one might say he was being overly dramatic.

He decided not to urge him further, as everyone has their own choices and coercion is not the answer.

Hidden Moon Following Wind, "Xia, let me ask you something. I’ve now trained the Gale Saber Technique to LV10 and brought my comprehension up to 20. How do I realize the secret technique?"

Xia Yi the Unrivaled, "Nice, brother, training pretty fast. Realizing the secret technique is actually simple: just maximize the inner power effect of your saber technique."

Just like when I first trained the Thunderbolt Saber Technique, its inner power effect could convert inner strength into Thunder Extreme. Stacking three layers of Thunder Extreme could cause a burst of lightning damage. I specifically chopped the air to stack Thunder Extreme and then used lightning to kill monsters. It didn’t take long to master it."

I see... So the inner power effect of Gale Swordsmanship is to increase attack speed. So, all I need to do is continuously kill monsters while stacking up to ten layers of Gale Force, right? As long as I ensure the ten layers of Gale Force don’t break, I should be able to achieve satori, right?

After saying goodbye to Xia Yi the Unrivaled, Xiao Jie put on the Old Man’s Bamboo Hat and swallowed a Ti Hu Pill, raising his comprehension directly to 21 points.

System message: Your comprehension has exceeded 20 points, you have gained one layer of "Enlightenment" state.

Great, finally, I have the Enlightenment state available again.

Looking at the BUFF icon above his head, Xiao Jie felt somewhat nostalgic.

Back when he had this BUFF, he would occasionally receive a surprise. Although the Enlightenment state now lasted only a short hour, it brought back some of his old feelings.

Thinking it over, to get a few more strikes in, Xiao Jie immediately took off the Blood-drinking Blade and switched to a larger saber. This reduced the damage dealt, so it wouldn’t kill the monsters too quickly.

He then planned out his monster-killing route and charged towards the Tree Knot Monster.

One chop, two chops, three chops... carefully maneuvering while chopping, he quickly stacked ten layers of Gale Force.

The large saber wasn’t highly damaging, perfect for getting a few more strikes in. While chopping and evading the monsters’ attacks, Xiao Jie used no other attack skills, continually using the Gale Seven Forms, knocking down one Tree Knot Monster and immediately rushing towards the next, ensuring the ten layers of Gale Force were maintained continuously.

One minute, two minutes... time kept passing, and Xiao Jie had already killed five or six Tree Knot Monsters, yet there was still no sign of satori.

Crap, why haven’t I had a moment of enlightenment yet? Xiao Jie thought, as he unconsciously sped up his actions, frantically clicking the mouse.

One chop, two chops, three chops! Swipe, swipe, swipe; the large saber chopped like a whirlwind, quickly slashing the Tree Knot Monster in front of him to pieces.

Suddenly, a flash of white light—

[System message: Your Enlightenment state has been triggered, you have achieved a ’Satori’!]

Success! Xiao Jie’s heart surged with excitement, the secret technique finally in grasp.

With a Hawk Roll to distance himself, Xiao Jie eagerly clicked on the Satori icon.

Moment of Enlightenment: During continuous battle, you have completely mastered the essence of the Gale Saber Technique and have realized the secret technique—[Wind Roll Cloud].

[Wind Roll Cloud (secret technique)

Usage: Utilize the power of the gale to spin your body at high speed, attacking surrounding enemies with your saber as if a whirlwind, delivering up to 8 slashing attacks (spin once for every 5 points of Agility).

Each attack deals 50% of weapon damage.

Secret technique description: With the force of the gale and the edge of the saber, transform into a blade whirlwind, this is the ultimate secret technique of the Gale Saber Technique]
