Omni-Mastery

[ Welcome to the tower of 'Comprehension Testing'! ]

[ The comprehension test will start in 1 minute… ]

'This tower no doubt has some linkage with the other one!'

Not only was white space very similar to the Level 1 floor in the 'Trial Tower' or even pretty much identical, but also the basic clothes that I currently wore, the voice I heard as well as the screen that appeared in front, they were all almost the same!

The only differences were that the voice seemed to have a different tone and the screens which were completely transparent on the 'Trial Tower' or better said as the 'Tower of Inheritance' with white test were now white screens with black text.

In conclusion disregarding these small details, as well as the earlier dark room that wasn't in the 'Tower of Inheritance', these two towers were at the very least 'brother-products', it might not be necessarily made by the same person, but it had to be created using the same technology, otherwise such similarity couldn't be explained.

Taking into consideration that this was still a game, the towers backgrounds were likely to be something similar to the legacy of a certain era, which in fact could be easily linked to the tomes and their system here as well, it was a pretty interesting subject to overthink, but… now was not the time to do so.

I only had less than a minute before the 'Comprehension Test' started so I started examining my state in preparation for it as I tried to test the limits of this tower…

'I can't summon anything…'

As the first big difference in this tower, I wasn't capable of summoning weaponry using my thoughts, however, that didn't seem to be the only limitation…

'My essence and elements…'

Other than the preliminary fact that I wasn't equipped with anything, even the power inside my body has been restricted as my whole elemental pool was forced to stay in its Wind state, trying to change it would only lock the elements and render them useless, in fact, the whole elements turning into Wind ones was the instinctive action of my body when I tried to randomly use another type.

The same restriction applied to my essence as only the essence in the sword point of the energy core could be used, but even then, I could still use the other types as an energy feed by converting them though the small ball base.

The only silver lining was that my physical and mental strength remained unrestricted, but going by the name of this tower, it didn't make much of a difference…

[ Opponent: has achieved complete basic mastery over 'Aerial Sword' ]

[ Test Results:

2. Completely defeating the opponent will reward you with the full amount of points achievable on the test as well as allow you to proceed to the next test ]

'Welcome back, me.'

Looking at my doppelganger who materialized before me as well as the familiar screens didn't prompt much surprise from me anymore as I readied myself by starting the revolving Wind elements and sword essence into the sequence of 'Aerial Sword'.

[ The comprehension test starts now! ]

Thud!

As soon as the mark for starting has operated, Ian.002 had already dashed towards me as a longsword materialized in his hand, while another appeared in mine.

However, the sword seemed to be nothing more than decoration as Ian.002 held it still in his left hand while the other hands started to produce azure green light!

'That's why…'

It seemed that this time, my opponent was equal to me in everything, even his speed showed that our stats were most likely equal, even his combat behaviour somewhat resembled mine, the only different factor was expectedly…

'Comprehension.'

The reason that Ian.002 didn't do anything with the sword was simple, 'Aerial Sword' was a weaponless technique, so the sword was more likely to be an automatic weapon given by the tower since the tome contained a sword technique in theory, however, in reality a sword wasn't needed to perform the technique.

After all, 'Aerial Sword' was actually a technique that could only be used by Sword Masters to mimic the ability of Sword Dominators and produce controllable swords using the natural ability of Wind elements!

Just like how Ian.002 displayed, one would use the correct sequence of revolving in his body and allow Wind elements to bind into one's Ki, giving it the chance to leave the body as they merged with the Wind elements, this of course required the user to be at least a 3rd stage Elemental Master.

One would argue that this technique seemed useless after reaching the Sword Dominator stage, but it was in fact a power up to the original ability. Just like it was mentioned inside the tome, the technique was actually more powerful using sword essence as the limitation on weapon energy was removed while it still allowed the detached sword essence to still have Wind elements attached to it.

This was in fact one of the few techniques in the whole sect that allowed 'Detached Combination' of essence and elements, it was a known fact that using elemental weapon techniques on detached sword essence wasn't possible without the use of special techniques like this, which was exactly why I picked it when I decided to learn a repeated Wind technique.

Having this technique meant that even my long ranged sword essence attack would have similar power to when I used a low level elemental conducting sword in close combat, it was easy to say that it was a valuable technique worth learning…

After finishing the quick realization that I received from watching Ian.002 perform 'Aerial Sword', I immediately responded in the same manner as my detached essence sword clashed against his.

It only took one clash between the two essence swords to cause one of them to shatter!
