Another week had passed since Xiao Feng began cultivating the Wind God's Scripture.
His control over wind-element Dou Qi had improved drastically—light, fast, and almost undetectable. His movements were now so fluid, even sharp-eared servants failed to hear him pass. But he knew that control alone wasn't enough. In a world where Dou Skills could shatter mountains, he needed power.
And more importantly—speed and precision.
That night, under the moonlight, Xiao Feng opened the system interface, eyes calm and focused.

He navigated to the Dou Skill category and scrolled down until one technique caught his eye. His instincts stirred.

"Yes."
> Skill learned: Wind and Thunder Wings.
A shock passed through his back as the knowledge imprinted itself into his mind and meridian pathways. Patterns formed along his shoulder blades, glowing faintly before fading. The Dou Qi began flowing in new directions, preparing for flight.
He stood, stepped back, and activated it.
Boom!
Two transparent, jagged-edged wings of crackling wind and flickering blue lightning spread from his back. They were faint—but deadly fast. He shot upward, slicing through the night sky in a blur. He couldn't help but feel… free.
"Perfect for getting in—and out—before anyone even knows I was there."
He returned to the ground, deactivated the wings, and opened the weapon section of the shop.

He didn't want a flashy blade—just something that cut cleanly and precisely.

A sword with a dark-silver edge and a slightly curved blade appeared in his storage ring. He drew it in the moonlight. It hummed softly in his hand—responsive and cold, like the wind itself.

With his gear now in place, he browsed the Sword Dou Skills next.
His gaze stopped on a skill that matched his approach—fast, sharp, and devastating.

> Falling Wind Slash
Type: Sword Dou Skill
Rank: Black Tier – High Grade
Cost: 70,000 points
Description: A high-speed sword art using wind-element Dou Qi to produce a flurry of cutting slashes that descend like a storm. The final strike compresses wind into a single, silent execution blow.
> Learn Skill?
"Yes."
The technique's form, flow, and essence burned into his mind. He stood in silence, then took position. Drawing Stormedge, he performed the first form—
Whoosh. Whoosh. WHUM—
Each slash flowed into the next, wind spinning around the blade like dancing spirits. The final strike cut silently through the air, so sharp it split a distant leaf mid-air with no sound.
His grip tightened.
> Falling Wind Slash – Novice Stage.
He would master it soon.
Sword in hand. Wings on his back. Dou Qi like wind through his veins.
