"The dream has ended."
"Returning now..."
The warm ashes drifting gently through the air turned into finer dust and vanished without a trace; the crimson sparks with their inexplicable mournful undertones no longer appeared as the flas on the body’s surface were extinguished.
The battle was over, and the sixty-second duration of [Embers Resonance] had also reached its end.
The scorching heat emanating from the sword hilt of the [Ash Fall] straight sword dissipated, along with the originally fiery sword blade, turning now into a cold, gray-black hue.
Xia Nan stood in place, his dark eyes slightly dazed, processing the vast information that had suddenly flooded his mind.
"Was it really Mo’en..."
Perhaps due to the earlier activation of the [Dream Weaving Corridor], the experiences within the dream led him to a misjudgnt.
Xia Nan had thought that he would, just like last ti, transform into the creator of [Gravity Etching] and walk through the entire process of creating this battle skill in mories long buried in the deep river of history.
But unexpectedly, the owner of the dream he experienced this ti was actually the aged priest with a crystalline body he had just personally defeated.
His mind couldn’t help but recall the ssages given by the [Dream Weaving Corridor] before the dream began, about "search failure," "detecting Dream Weaver related individuals," and "performing replacent simulation."
A thoughtful expression inadvertently appeared on Xia Nan’s face.
Why did the archive search fail?
Is it because the [Dream Weaving Corridor] found no dream mory related to [Gravity Etching], or is it because there are too few masters of this battle skill, so there are no stories worth rembering, or is there so invisible force obstructing it?
Mo’en had just been killed by him; is this the so-called "connection" between them?
Then how did the [Dream Weaving Corridor] extract such detailed mories, even down to the embroidery on the bishop’s robe, from the other’s mind, transforming it into the dream he experienced?
Countless doubts rose in Xia Nan’s heart, making him find this technological artifact from the Exotic Realm even more mysterious.
Fortunately, he wasn’t the type to dwell excessively on things; since he couldn’t figure it out no matter what, he decided not to waste energy on it.
Compared to these questions that could be pondered slowly in the future, what was more important now was the imnse professional knowledge now thrust into his brain like force-fed ducks as the dream ended.
How to control force field energy to make it explode with greater potency, how to use [Gravity Etching] more efficiently on objects of different types and sizes, five techniques to speed up the release of [Gravity Etching]...
Perhaps it couldn’t create the special mutations brought by the dream experience like [Teeth Hunting] did, but undoubtedly, this knowledge infusion allowed him to master all he could know about [Gravity Etching] at an astonishing speed.
Reflected in the real world were lines of semi-transparent characters flashing across Xia Nan’s mind like a screening:
"Skill Level 1"
"Skill Level 1"
"Skill Level 1"
"..."
"Skill Level 171"
"[Gravity Etching] lv3 (29/100) → [Gravity Etching] lv5 (Max)"
"Perception 1, Strength 1, Agility 1"
"[Fallen Blade Hunting] lv2 → [Fallen Blade Hunting] lv3"
"Battle Skill [Heavy Tide] Unlocked"
"..."
Raising yet another battle skill’s mastery to the "Master" level not only advanced Xia Nan on the path of a professional to a higher level...
But also granted him a total of three attribute points!
Having just felt slightly weak and unaccustod due to pulling out from the overall 33% boost of [Embers Resonance], it was as if he imbibed a powerful tonic, his body instantly brimming with energy.
From "11" to "12", his already keen Perception Ability further enhanced, allowing him to clearly hear the sound of blood gushing and flowing from the wounds of the corpses on the ground in front and to sll the fragrance of oranges amidst the strong tallic sll in the air, even seeing the slight vapor raised by the residual high temperature at the charred edges of the hole pierced through the church door in the distance.
The 9-point Strength boost made the entire tal equipnt he wore feel notably lighter, and the [Ash Fall] longsword in his palm seed to fit better;
His muscles didn’t swell but rather contracted slightly inward, becoming firr and filled with explosive power, the smooth and sleek muscle lines visible even through his clothes.
Agility also reached 11 points, with Reaction speed, balance ability, and agility skyrocketing correspondingly.
Three attribute points might not seem like much on paper.
But it’s important to know that on Aifala Continent, the average value for any single attribute of an ordinary person is rely 5 points.
And after that, each additional point isn’t simply a fifth of that but a refined number integrating a wealth of actual information, much higher than a re twenty percent.
Two people, identical in every other way, with strength attributes of 6 and 5 respectively, would see the latter likely unable to hold out even a second in an arm wrestling match, quickly pinned and defeated.
And for Xia Nan, the simultaneous increase in Strength, Agility, and Perception Attributes ant an explosive boost in his actual combat ability.
Even using the already Full Level [Vortex Slash] and [Teeth Hunting] would showcase much greater power, supported by a physically stronger constitution.
anwhile, from lv3 to lv5, [Gravity Etching] completed its final qualitative transformation on its standard evolution path!
Not only did it gain incredible enhancents in release speed, battle skill power, and control precision, but the original "3/3" usage limit was also raised to "5/5".
