The soft humming of wind filled Xiao Feng's quiet chamber as he stood still, eyes closed, sword resting at his side. The room's windows were shut, yet the air within swirled gently around him, responding to the rising pulse of his Dou Qi. His soul, his body, and his sword were on the verge of resonance.
Today wasn't just about cultivation. Today… was about awakening something far deeper.
> "System, unlock the First Form of the Tempest Swords."
A mechanical chime echoed in his mind.
> 'Unlocking "Gale Pierce" – the 1st Move of the Wind God's Ultimate Sword Technique (风神六剑).'

Suddenly, the Wind God's Scripture in his mind flared. A stream of ancient sword intent flooded into his sea of consciousness—like standing in a maelstrom of razor wind. His body trembled as his hand instinctively gripped the hilt of his sword.
Images flashed in his mind:
A slender sword thrust.
Wind converging to a single sharp point.
A whisper of movement.
And then—destruction.
> "So fast… almost invisible..." Xiao Feng whispered.
He opened his eyes. They were glowing faintly with wind Dou Qi.
Stepping into his private training field behind the inn—cloaked in formation arrays—he slowly unsheathed his sword.
"Tempest Swords – First Move: Gale Pierce."
The world stilled.
His sword arm moved.
A thin, sharp gust of wind shot out.
The air itself shrieked as a gust-laced thrust shattered a thick training pillar ahead of him. Not slashed—pierced. A perfect hole burned through stone and steel, edges so clean it looked like it had been drilled by some divine weapon.
The speed had broken the sound barrier.
The wind converged with such deadly precision that no barrier at the Da Dou Shi realm could've blocked it.
> "It's not just a sword strike... it's an execution."
He smiled faintly.
This move was ideal for stealth eliminations, precision kills, and breaking enemy formations with a single thrust.

Xiao Feng spent the next hour testing different thrusting angles, ranges, and wind Dou Qi circulation. The more he used it, the more it flowed like instinct—as if the sword were part of his body, part of the wind itself.
By sunset, the training field behind the inn was ruined: shattered pillars, torn earth, and multiple deep holes pierced cleanly through thick stone.
He retracted his sword and stood at the center of the devastation, calm as ever.
> "One day… I'll master all six moves. Even the Divine Tempest Judgment."
His eyes gleamed with calm anticipation.
