Feng Hao's group of three had already left, unaware of the effect of the sword strike Xiyue Frost had just made.
While they were busy choosing a hotel, Feng Hao finally couldn't resist asking Xiyue Frost, "I remember you used a Longsword. Why'd you switch to a greatsword?"
"Because at the third rank, I awakened Effortless Weight," Xiyue Frost said, her eyes impassive.
"That explains it." Feng Hao nodded in understanding. 'No wonder she switched weapons. So she awakened a heavy weapon specialization.'
For most Mages, the third rank is when they lock in their future path. This is also why many people wait until after level thirty to enter an Advanced Academy.
Take Xiyue Frost, for example. With a first-rank vitality bonus, second-rank explosive power, and third-rank heavy weapon specialization, her path as a high-vitality, high-strength burst character was basically set. It was roughly equivalent to a Berserker in the game settings on Earth.
