Two days had passed since Xiao Feng broke through to Dou Zhe.
The transformation was subtle, yet profound. His movements were lighter, his breath deeper, his control over Dou Qi sharper than ever. Yet he remained as low-key as always, hiding everything behind the quiet mask he wore since arriving in this world.
Even during public training, he suppressed his aura completely—giving no hint that he had stepped into the realm of true cultivators. Let others think he was slow, talentless, invisible. That illusion would protect him for a little while longer.
But in private, everything had changed.
—
That evening, in the calm solitude of his courtyard, Xiao Feng sat cross-legged beneath the same tree where he had broken through. The cool wind swirled gently around him, not chaotic, but strangely harmonious—responding to his presence like it recognized its master.
Inside his consciousness, a glowing scroll hovered.
> Wind God's Scripture – Heaven Tier, High Grade
Status: Unlocked
Would you like to begin comprehension?
"Yes."
The scroll unraveled.
Golden symbols shimmered in the air, forming words that seemed to pulse with life. They weren't just written language—they were concepts, ancient truths of wind refined by the Wind God himself.
A voice—calm and ancient—echoed in his mind:
> "To command the wind, one must become the wind. To become the wind, one must abandon resistance. Flow. Twist. Cut. Move unseen."
The first section of the scripture focused on refining wind-element Dou Qi in a unique, almost spiritual way—creating a form that was sharper, faster, and more elusive than standard Dou Qi.
Xiao Feng's current cultivation technique—while strong—paled in comparison to what now lay before him.
He immediately began circulating his energy according to the scripture's method.
A sharp pain surged through his meridians. His Dou Qi, already compressed from the breakthrough, resisted the sudden shift. But the system's support smoothed the transition.
> System assistance active: 10% comprehension boost.
Assimilation with Wind God's Scripture in progress…
He gritted his teeth and pushed on. Sweat poured down his back as his body adapted to the new method of circulation. His Dou Qi grew thinner—but denser. Faster—but more controlled.
It was like switching from a sword to a scalpel.
Hours passed in silence.
Then suddenly—
Whoosh.
A gust of wind gathered around him, forming a vortex. Dust lifted. Leaves spun around him without touching his body. The wind recognized something familiar—its essence reborn in human form.
> Wind God's Scripture – Initial Comprehension achieved.
Wind Dou Qi evolved: Sharpness and Speed enhanced by 15%.
Xiao Feng opened his eyes. They were clearer now, sharper. His Dou Qi no longer felt like something he controlled—it felt like it belonged to him.
Like it was a part of his breath, his will, his soul.
He stood and exhaled.
The wind stirred with him.
A smirk ghosted across his lips.
Now the real training could begin.
