And Ying Zhao’s disappointment lay in his journey to become an unrivaled Demon Emperor being postponed.
...
Wind Valley.
Meanwhile, Wen Ping, having summoned and examined the undead creature of Half-Step Earth Unrestricted last night, felt it was still not secure enough. After all, this journey was to the true headquarters of the Hundred Sects Alliance.
There were three Half-Step Earth Unrestricted experts there!
So, his power needs to be boosted yet again. However, at this time, whether it’s advancing the Spirit Body or increasing proficiency in Expelliarmus, neither can be significantly enhanced in a short period. That leaves only one option!
Wind’s Shackles!
Improving the realm of Wind Binding Skill cannot only be achieved through practice but also through repeated trials.
This concept is similar to swinging the Ten Layers Tower.
Wind Binding Skill in Minor Success can forcibly control the enemy for three breaths, but in Perfection, it can control the enemy for six breaths.
Wen Ping wants to try if he can increase Wind Binding Skill to Great Success or Perfection in the coming days.
Being able to lengthen the shackling time by one breath is immensely crucial during a battle.
Because a duel between masters often hinges on that slight difference.
And precisely such a difference can mean loss or victory, life or death.
He had just tried a few times, passing through all stone arches, each requiring an hour.
With two and a half days, or about 60 hours remaining before the adventure begins, this means at least 60 trial runs. He felt each Wind Binding trial run brings significant improvement.
Wind Binding Skill, which has remained at Minor Success, is like a tortoise starting to crawl towards the finish line!
"Host, now the people from Wanderer Lodge and son of the Demon Emperor are at the foot of Yunlan Mountain; are you sure you don’t want to meet them?"
"No meeting!" Wen Ping sweated profusely, gritted his teeth, and spat out two words as he moved forward.
At this moment, Wen Ping could afford no distractions.
Adding strength for the adventure task is the most important thing.
If the adventure task isn’t completed, the Wanderer Lodge choosing to surrender and the Demon Emperor’s son inheriting fleeting power means little.
"The host’s current Wind Binding can shackle a Half-Step Earth Unrestricted existence; if Wind Binding and undead creature can defeat a Half-Step Earth Unrestricted expert from the Hundred Sects Alliance, perhaps the second tier of the adventure task will be hopeful."
"I’ve long thought this through."
Wen Ping expressed disdain for the system’s hindsight.
"Then let me tell you what the host doesn’t know. Given the host’s current progress, even if 60 trials are completed, Wind Binding Skill can at most be upgraded to Great Success. In Great Success, Wind Binding Skill only increases the shackling time by one breath."
"Can I securely enter the Great Success Realm?"
"No problem. But the premise is the host continues tirelessly during these days to possibly increase this one breath."
"Understood!"
Wen Ping was instantly overjoyed.
Being able to securely enter is good; shackling a Half-Step Earth Unrestricted expert for one more breath can very likely tilt the scales of victory directly! After all, one breath means numerous strikes for a Half-Step Earth Unrestricted expert, causing multiple injuries to the enemy!
