After leaving the room, I was given a temporary pass card which was valid for 7 days, so I can go in and out of the Capital without much trouble as it was a card guaranteed by the Brigade.
Next, I spent about half an hour finding a place suitable for training, which was basically a large cave inside a lush green mountain. The sunlight was still partially accessible inside, and the rocky walls looked great for target practice, not to ntion that the space was quite wide inside.
My first plan for this week was to try and see if I would be able to form so sort of a sword skill from the essence of 'Precise Throw' and up my sword mastery by one more level, officially entering the middle tiers and becoming a Tier-4 Sword Master.
Weapon cultivators were people who had secret skills that relies on breathing techniques and countless sword practice, using these thods to harness the energy hidden inside their weapons to develop their own weapon energy and strengthen it, the amount absorbed and the pace of absorption would usually rely on the rank of your weapon art and the quality of your weapon, unless you were blessed by a type of weapon affinity which would double your pace at the very least.
Though most people called them Weapon Masters, this was just a general acknowledgent from regular people, as just like elental arts, weapon arts capable of harnessing weapon energy were also pretty scarce and normal people had no way of acquiring them, so to them even a Tier-1 Swordsman would also be called a master.
But in truth, there were classifications to these tiers, for example, sword users would be called Swordsn when they are at Tiers 1~3, Sword Masters at Tiers 4~6, and Sword Manipulators at Tiers 7~9.
Similar to the elental strengthening stage, Swordsn only had better physiques, more advanced sword arts, but no actual power that reached the super natural level, only when they reached the Sword Master rank, would they be able to use their normal weapons to create devastating attacks as if they achieved their first elental might.
As for Sword Manipulators, they were powerhouses that had the ability to manipulate swords from afar, imbuing them with even more outstanding powers and becoming a one-man army kind of powerhouses.
However, I on the other hand, used a different system overall, I relied on combining sword art concepts to achieve a one ti infusion of weapon energy that allows to reach the next tier at one go, it seed a bit tyrannical, but in practical use, it was hard to advance this way without several complete sword arts, so I was still stuck at Tier-3.
After all, chancing on one sword art was already considered an opportunity, how could I gain more that easily?
Only thanks to my 'Harmony state' that I was able to achieve powers close to a Tier-4~5 Sword Master, my 'Telekinesis' which allows to exhibit a limited state of sword manipulation, and most importantly my pure physical stats that I should be invincible as long as I didn't et true Sword Manipulators. Not to ntion my elental practice which started to bear fruit, making it possible for to escape if I ever t such a dreadful situation.
As such, I still had ti to collect enough sword arts, and even think of a possible way to advance other than that, as my current power was still considered sowhat sufficient, and 'Precise Throw' was such art that may allow to reach a true Tier -4 power.
"I guess it's not possible, huh?…"
Unfortunately though, it turned out to be an empty gift box, 'Precise Throw' was originally a throwing skill that relied on countless practice accumulation and it had a harsh condition of one losing his sight in order to perfect it, only to achieve a perfect throwing skill that manipulates the throwing knives to move like homing arrows, although it was of course incomparable to either my telekinesis nor the even more terrifying weapon manipulation ability of Tier-7~9 weapon users.
So, while I was able to get the hang of it quite quickly, it was only with the help of telekinesis that I could reach an ability on par with the assassin's, causing the skill to only be considered a hidden skill as it was similar to a natural ability, and in conclusion I couldn't act on my desire to rise to the ranks of true Sword Masters.
'Well, it should be easier to get advanced sword arts once I enter the Brigade, and if all fails there is still that thod to try…'
I wasn't that anxious to advance anyway, even if my weapon energy path was sowhat blocked, I was still progressing in my elental path every day!
By the ti I finished a regular training set containing my five weapons, so fist training, and finally the finishing touches of footwork training, it was already past eight, so I headed back to rest and sleep, since there was no reason to sleep in caves and such since I had a comfortable bed waiting for back at the guest room anyway.
...
Swiftly going back to the Capital once again, I took a quick bath before heading to bed, taking soti to think about my training for tomorrow, I was able to find my target quite quickly.
After all, my weapon training was only limited to enhancing my ability of wielding the various concepts, while my elental path training was progressing swiftly, there was only one thing that needed to be put as the main focus.
Tomorrow... it was ti to practice a new footwork!
