In a world where every skill has a bottleneck and proficiency always has a limit, Gu Fan awakens a proficiency panel with no cap.
The sect’s prodigy trains his family’s sword art to an unprecedented tenth level, then points his sword at Gu Fan. “You’ll never reach this level of swordsmanship in your lifetime!”
Gu Fan simply watches him finish his practice in silence.
[Observed the Meteor Sword Art. Proficiency +1. Current: 1/100]
One month later, at the sect tournament,
Gu Fan raises his hand and strikes once.
It’s the same Meteor Sword Art, but a hundred times more dazzling.
The prodigy stares blankly at the sword crumbling to pieces in his hand.
“Thanks for being my sparring partner. Got anything stronger? I can keep practicing.”
