Chapter 1470.2: The Unexpected
As a melee fighter, Su Xiao was most afraid of mental and psychological control skills. Although the two concepts were very close, they couldn't be put in the same direction.
Mental control depended on intelligence, while psychological control depended on charisma.
The difference between these two types of control could be clearly described by the following example.
Mental control was like an old witch holding a magic wand and using the force to forcibly interfere with your thoughts. It was an extremely unpleasant experience, but this interference was immediately noticeable.
Psychological control was very pleasant, in fact, it could be compared to posing in front of you completely naked beautiful girl, well, or guy. Although both mental and psychological control were very dangerous things, the second one was obviously not so obvious and it was much more difficult to detect it, and therefore it was much more difficult to resist it.
Since Su Xiao was a melee fighter, no matter who was in front of him, a beautiful naked girl or an old hag, they weren't good people anyway.
Once they get it under control, that's basically the end of it.
But now that Su Xiao had developed his swordsmanship to such a high level, this flaw was completely covered up. Otherwise, if he didn't get such a good boost, this whole game just wouldn't be worth the candle. He had invested too much resources in leveling up his sword skill. Although it had granted him a nice bonus of mental control immunity in the past, the range of this immunity was limited.
He was immune to a certain mental control that triggered a stat assessment, and then only up to a certain level.
All those mental control skills that took effect immediately, without the need to start evaluating the target, could work on Su Xiao, although only with a certain chance, but they could.
Now, after developing his skill to the level of 'Grandmaster', he was completely immune to both mental control and psychological control.
In Paradise, many people knew that contractors who were proficient with the sword were immune to both mental and psychological control, this was just as normal as the fact that tanks, for example, could not be knocked down, and mages had an amazing affinity with the elements.
All of this was basic knowledge that lay on the surface.
Swordsmanship involved leveling up the mind, body, and swordsmanship skills, with mind leveling being the most important part. If the swordsman was going to be subject to mental or psychological control, why would he even try to become stronger then? To end up under someone else's control? It was precisely because of this that he had to pay special attention to leveling up his mind.
Swordsmanship wasn't just about honing one's skills and body, it was also about honing one's willpower. It was precisely because of this that Su Xiao considered swordsmanship to be his primary ability.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, he began to meditate.
A large potted black maple tree was growing quietly on the bedside table.
Now the meditation was very different from the previous ones. Su Xiao felt that the black maple tree that was only 30 centimeters tall was like a signal booster. Thanks to the black maple tree, he could perceive his surroundings more intuitively, or in other words, he could better perceive the world around him.
Unfortunately, the black maple tree could only be kept in an exclusive space right now. He needed to wait until he was at least 50 centimeters tall and strong enough to enter the ordinary world.
It was best to meditate in nature, and if he would meditate in nature with a black maple tree by his side...
After a few hours, Su Xiao gathered some insight into the changes in his sword skill.
After explaining the main points, he decided to find out the answer to a very important question.
Deciding to improve his swordsmanship, he quickly read the text that appeared.
[
To upgrade the "Sword Grandmaster: Level 1 (Passive Skill)" skill, you need to pay 50,000 Paradise Coins and have 1 large Soul Crystal.
Do you want to improve this skill?
yes/no.
After blinking a couple of times, Su Xiao realized that his eyes had not failed him. The cost of leveling up was very different from what he had imagined. It wasn't that big, but it wasn't that cheap either. To advance to level 1, you had to pay fifty thousand coins and one large soul crystal.
It was a very good price to pay, especially considering that this skill was his main one and a lot depended on it.
He now realized that all of his hard work had more than paid off, and his investment in swordsmanship wasn't wasted.
From now on, his strength will grow by leaps and bounds.
