[Note 1: Seriously, this thing kind of disrupts the balance, but come to think of it, anyone who can understand the ’disruption level’ here probably isn’t just a well-behaved kind of person, so let’s leave it unharmonized.]

[Note 2: If you can’t understand it, you can fool yourself into thinking it’s the author’s bad handwriting, rather than the reader’s inadequate talent level.]

[Note 3: Just absurd!]

...

To be honest, the reason Motan flipped through this book at that time was actually to respect Showering Snow’s wishes, and in case he ever met her in the future and she asked what he thought of the book, but he couldn’t say a word, how awkward would that be?

In other words, he wasn’t really interested in the content, especially since he hadn’t fully grasped the Knight’s Guide from Jadka earlier.

Therefore, with the mindset of ’I’ll have a look out of courtesy,’ Motan opened this poorly crafted book with difficult-to-read characters, called "Sword Outline," one night not long ago for a glance.

And then...

He looked again, a second time, a third time, a fourteenth time, a fiftieth time.

Apparently, even someone like Motan, with an "Orderly Good" personality, couldn’t escape the power of the so-called ’True Fragrance Law,’ successfully conquered by Showering Snow’s understanding of ’Sword Dao’... and her handwriting resembling a dog’s scribbles.

Thoroughly conquered, conquered through an entire night, conquered to the extent that Motan didn’t sleep... uh, because he was in the Game Cabin, it seems he slept quite well.

In short, the impact this "Sword Outline" had on Motan was tremendous. Of course, the impact of Showering Snow’s crazy calligraphy on him was no small matter either. At some moments, he even thought this girl wasn’t writing with her hand, but using voice input, otherwise, he couldn’t understand why the words "Sword Outline" looked like "Sauce Vat."

Back to the point—

This "Sword Outline" by Showering Snow was actually written very casually, so casually that it seemed less like a book and more like prose scattered with no boundaries. It had no directory, no title, and not even paragraphs. It was written in such a casual manner that it greatly dishonored her literature teacher’s spirit.

Regarding content, there was nothing like sword moves or techniques. Most of it was just this girl’s compiled thoughts on whatever came to mind, like "Hmm? Holding the sword with the thumb slightly forward seems to give a firmer grasp" — such obscure content was everywhere.

Nonetheless, Motan could still discern Showering Snow’s abundant love for the concept of ’sword’ from this book, as well as her terrifying talent in the ’sword’ domain, and he benefited greatly from it.

Now, what does ’benefited greatly’ mean specifically?

Well, he held this book and flipped through it for two full hours until dropping offline due to illness, then somehow, both [One-handed Sword Specialization] and [Two-handed Sword Specialization] for his character ’Hei Fan’ unlocked automatically at level 40, unexpectedly becoming this character’s highest specialization level.

Moreover, ’Tan Mo’s two corresponding specializations also leveled up to the same level 40, matching his Twin Blades Specialization and Deceit School.

And the next day, when Motan logged in again as ’Mor,’ his one-handed sword specialization was mysteriously raised to level 43, and the two-handed sword specialization to level 41.

This matter seemed to have no issues, but the problem was that amongst Motan’s three characters, specialization levels were consistently unique. Simply put, except for content that none of his characters could handle, like ’Hei Fan’s [Dawn School] and Tan Mo’s [Poison Mastery], specializations common to these three characters had always been identical in level.

The reason is straightforward: Ultimately, they are still one person playing the same game, and ’specialization’ is a concept reflecting the player’s understanding in a certain area. So, the fact that ’three characters’ having the same specialization level’ is not only correct but also quite reasonable upon deeper contemplation.

Of course, constraints still exist, just like even though ’Hei Fan’ acquired level 40 [One-handed Sword Specialization], he couldn’t equip weapons like [Justice Mandala] due to not meeting the fundamental constitution and power attribute requirements.

Even taking a step back, if he could equip it and acquired all skills from ’Mor,’ including [Gale] and [Fury Red Lotus], the physical fitness of ’Hei Fan’ wouldn’t allow him to flexibly utilize those sword moves, resulting in a failed Tiger imitation turning into a Dog, getting beaten up.

From here, we can see the concepts of profession, specialization, attributes, and skills are intertwined. So, for someone like Motan who seems to have exploited a system loophole, it’s indeed challenging to convert that ’leak’ into real advantage and combat effectiveness.

But ultimately, the specialization levels of his three characters should be entirely consistent.

However, after reading Sword Outline, the ’Mor’ character bizarrely ended up ranking a level or two higher than ’Hei Fan’ and ’Tan Mo’ in two sword specializations.
