Main Text Chapter 325: Wind Riding Flight

He Er Na's expression was somewhat unnatural, her eyes darting left and right; after a moment she said: 'Divine Punishment... I naturally know a bit. But most of it requires divine source power to activate; the master has not yet become a god, so there isn't much she can learn.'

'Divine power... Well, that indeed cannot be done.' Xiao Feng felt a bit disappointed.

The power of gods is also called divine source power, which is the energy contained within the divine seal.

Divine-level beings release abilities relying on this, which is much like mana.

Moreover, the amount of divine source power also determines the strength of destructive power, equivalent to the combination of the spell attack and mana attributes.

Xiao Feng said: 'What can you teach? Actually, it doesn't have to be Divine Punishment; I can learn any useful skill!'

He Er Na stroked the skills she had learned in her life and replied: 'I was born a god, specializing in wind system control; I have not learned any abilities below divine level. Given the master's current realm, only one grand technique and two minor techniques can be learned.'

'What is a grand technique? What is a minor technique?' Xiao Feng asked, puzzled.

The division of divine skills seems to differ greatly from that of lower lifeforms.

He Er Na explained: 'A grand technique is fundamental knowledge; learning one grand technique can evolve into many skills. For example, the Wind Blade Grand Technique can split into Great Wind Blade, Small Wind Blade, Wind Blade Armor, Wind Guillotine, and so on. A minor technique, on the contrary, is just a specific skill.'

Xiao Feng suddenly understood: 'Then which grand technique can I learn? Wind Blade?'

Wind Blade is an entry-level wind magic; many advanced magics evolve from it.

Compared to other magics, Wind Blade has a simple structure and low willpower requirement; even an ordinary player can master it through self-study.

He Er Na nodded and said: 'Although the Wind Blade Grand Technique is basic, mastering it also yields considerable deterrent power; if honed to perfection, it can be somewhat stronger than the ordinary Divine Punishment you know.'

'Alright, I'll learn it!' Xiao Feng declared decisively, then asked: 'What are the other two minor techniques?'

'One is Palm Whirlwind, the other is Wind Riding Flight.'

He Er Na spoke the names of the skills.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng's eyes lit up instantly!

Wind Riding Flight!

This is a skill he has long dreamed of! It is who knows how much superior to Wind Soaring Technique!

The wind system divine seal he exchanged from the Myriad Heavens Pagoda comes with the characteristic skill 'Wind Riding Flight'.

But that requires a comprehension level of 100%; so far his progress is still 0%, basically hopeless.

If He Er Na can teach him, he can bypass this process, saving a lot of time!

'Teach me quickly, quickly—I want to learn now!' he exclaimed excitedly

Seeing him so excited, He Er Na found it hard to refuse.

She then said: 'Alright, let's go outside. The master's extraordinary talent should allow him to learn quickly.'

Having said that, the three of them left the house together.

Dai Ni Si is also a wind mage; although her level is low, she has studied together with her mother He Er Na since childhood, so her theoretical knowledge is relatively rich.

The three arrived outdoors; He Er Na knew Xiao Feng most wanted to learn flying technique, so she first taught him the key knowledge of Wind Riding Flight.

'Wind Riding Technique differs essentially from ordinary magic Wind Soaring Technique and Levitation Technique. Wind Soaring Technique and similar magics merely communicate with wind elements to lift oneself and float in the air. Though it looks like flight, it actually differs greatly from true Wind Riding.'

'No matter how much wind element is applied externally, it remains merely external force; regardless of flexibility or speed, it is hard to reach the hall of elegance.'

'True Wind Riding Technique is to transform oneself into part of the wind element, making oneself like a gentle breeze, freely soaring in the sky. The stronger the divine power, the faster the wind, and thus the swifter the flight speed. As for flexibility... it depends on how strong one's control will is.'

A simple theory.

Xiao Feng listened and fell into thought.

No wonder Wind Soaring Technique is so slow; its principle is fundamentally wrong.

Levitation Technique and Wind Soaring Technique are like a disabled person in an old wheelchair; whether one moves fast or slow mainly depends on the wheels, and you must exert force to turn them to get moving.

Moreover, if one goes too fast, it's easy to lose control and hit a wall.

Whereas Wind Riding Flight is like growing two legs and running oneself.

Its explosive power, speed, and agility are far superior to the former!

He Er Na's finger glowed with a cyan light, touching Xiao Feng's forehead.

'I will first transmit the usage of this technique to the master; you slowly contemplate and practice, and once you fully comprehend it, it will become your own ability.'

System prompt: 【Ding~ Congratulations! You have learned the wind system skill Wind Riding Flight from Wind Spirit Island's master He Er Na!】

Xiao Feng hurriedly opened the skill list to check.

【Wind Riding Flight】: Grants the user flight ability; flight speed depends on divine source power strength. Consumes 100 mana per second (current comprehension progress: 5%).

Xiao Feng has not yet entered the Demigod Realm, lacks a divine seal embryo, and his divine source power is currently 0, so the speed cannot be too fast.

Consuming 100 mana per second is not much for him; his auto mana regeneration is over 80 per second, fully keeping up with the consumption.

'Let me test the effect!'

With a thought, he activated the skill and flew up from the spot.

The feeling differed from Wind Soaring Technique; Xiao Feng controlled his rise and fall, circling in flight—control was indeed stronger, but only limitedly so.

He Er Na said: 'The master still needs much practice to deepen comprehension. Wind Riding Flight is inherently a divine ability; at the very least one must reach the Demigod Realm to grasp it. When you fully comprehend it, upon entering the Demigod Realm and gaining some divine power, you will be able to fly freely like a fish in water.'

Xiao Feng nodded.

Although the speed is still not fast and the agility improvement is not very noticeable, this skill's potential is nevertheless very great.

He decided to practice more in the future, at least flying three to four hours each day!

'Let's learn another technique, the Palm Whirlwind you mentioned.'

Xiao Feng flew a few circles, then landed back on the ground.

He Er Na said nothing more, simply tapping with her jade finger to impart the skill to him.

【Palm Whirlwind】: Condenses a vortex in the palm, continuously infusing divine power (or mana); when thrown it forms a tornado, controllable in movement, dealing damage to enemies along its path. Damage value depends on the amount of energy infused (current comprehension progress: 10%).

This skill already has a comprehension progress of 10% at the outset, obviously making it simpler.

Xiao Feng immediately used.

In the palm of his right hand, a small cyan-green vortex appeared, then it consumed his mana.

Only 100 points of mana are absorbed per second, pitifully little.

"Forbidden spell magic basically requires over 1000 mana points, and a full set of apocalyptic disasters needs 100,000. How long will it take to accumulate 100 points at a time to catch up?" Xiao Feng thought to himself.

He tried to increase the output speed of his mana.

This attempt actually succeeded!

The output mana increased from 100 per second to 110 points.

At the same time, the skill's comprehension level also became 11%.

"Does this mean that after fully comprehending it, it will be 1000 mana per second?"

Accumulating, accumulating...

He strove to accumulate mana, pouring it all into the vortex in his hand.

Unbeknownst to him, several seconds passed, and he had accumulated almost the mana consumption of a Meteor Shower.

"Almost there, let's throw it out and try."

He casually threw it.

Whoosh~

The vortex left his palm, growing longer in the wind!

5 meters, 10 meters, 20 meters...

In less than 2 seconds, the vortex rapidly expanded, becoming a huge tornado a hundred meters high!
