Battle Through the Heavens: Inward Cultivation, Crying Xiao Yan

However, even so, due to his lack of familiarity with the technique, Xiao Yang now needs about five minutes to complete one training session.

Because it was not successfully executed, the loss of fighting spirit was not significant.

Soon, more than two hours passed, and Xiao Yang finally completed his 27th training session.

Chapter 10: Eighth Stage of Fighting Spirit!

A familiar voice echoed in Xiao Yang's mind.

[Task: Practice the Lieshan Fist 27 times. Reward: Lieshan Fist Proficiency +1. Completed. Claim reward?]

"System, claim your reward!"

The next moment, a realization appeared directly in Xiao Yang's mind.

Although it's just a beginner's level of insight.

However, because Lieshan Fist is a mid-level Xuan-rank fighting technique, it is inherently much more complex than Kaishan Fist.

Therefore, it took Xiao Yang a while to fully receive this insight.

After receiving the insights, he did not hesitate at all and created another mission.

[Task: Practice the Fierce Mountain Fist 27 times; Reward: Fierce Mountain Fist Proficiency +1]

After receiving the mission reward, Xiao Yang discovered that he could now unleash the Fierce Mountain Fist in its entirety!

However, because he is not yet proficient, he needs to prepare for a while.

Xiao Yang began to try to channel his fighting spirit into the meridians and acupoints corresponding to the Lieshan Fist.

His right fist was enveloped in a fighting aura.

The next moment, Xiao Yang threw a punch.

A distinct gust of wind from a fist suddenly appeared in the air!

The grass blades not far away were all bent by the wind.

Xiao Yang did not stop, but continued his cultivation.

Just as he was about to complete his 27th training session and be ready to claim his reward, he suddenly discovered something.

On the system panel, the proficiency level of the Fierce Mountain Fist in the Fighting Skills section is surprisingly displayed as Beginner 2/10!

You should know that he had only completed the proficiency task once before.

Logically speaking, the proficiency level of Lieshan Fist should be about 1/10 of that of a beginner.

However, I've become a bit more skilled now.

Xiao Yang thought about it for a moment and quickly figured it out.

Proficiency cannot be gained solely through system tasks.

Just like his previous Mountain-Opening Fist and Wind-Chasing Step.

When you get the system, you'll already be at a basic proficiency level.

This is because Xiao Yang himself had practiced cultivation before.

Proficiency in the system rewards can be considered an extra bonus.

The reason why Xiao Yang did not improve his proficiency before was because it took him several years to cultivate the Kai Shan Quan to the level of Xiao Chengdu.

Although he practiced the Mountain-Opening Fist hundreds of times in those few days.

However, it was ultimately just mechanical training; he didn't gain any personal insights.

Therefore, my proficiency has not improved on its own.

However, the Fierce Mountain Fist is currently only being practiced at a very young age.

Therefore, during his cultivation, he would constantly adjust and refine his fighting spirit.

This allowed Xiao Yang to improve his proficiency without receiving any system rewards.

It's relatively easy to get started and become proficient.

In the beginner stage, basically, as long as you can perform a complete fighting technique once, you are considered to have entered the beginner stage.

To reach a minor level, one needs to be proficient in its use and be able to use it quickly in battle.

The highest level of mastery allows one to unleash the full power of their fighting technique.

If it is perfected, then one can freely use fighting techniques in every move, and the power can even increase by a level.

Xiao Yang has never experienced such a state of divine skill, so he doesn't know what kind of realm it is.

After figuring things out, Xiao Yang no longer treated his martial arts training as a mere KPI-driven task.

He began to fully appreciate the energy of each fight and the feeling of throwing a punch.

And so, time passed.

Soon, a day had passed.

In one day, Xiao Yang only completed six proficiency tasks.

However, his proficiency in Lieshan Fist has already reached 8/10 of the beginner level!

In other words, he will be able to raise his proficiency in the Fierce Mountain Fist to the minor level tomorrow!

How terrifying is that speed?

A cultivator at the Dou Qi stage was able to apply the Xuan-level Dou Technique to combat in just two days!

This speed can be described as very fast.

In fact, Xiao Yang was able to improve his proficiency by two points on his own, mainly because he discovered a small bug.

He did not immediately claim the rewards for his proficiency in the subsequent missions.

He waited until he finished his training in the evening before collecting them all.

Because the lower the proficiency level, the easier it is for him to improve.

However, this is only possible when you are just starting out.

Once you reach a certain level of proficiency, the difficulty of further improvement increases significantly, making it more cost-effective to quickly complete system tasks.

Unless, Xiao Yang can acquire more talent in boxing.

Although Lieshan Fist is currently only at the beginner stage.

However, he guessed that a large part of the credit for his ability to improve his proficiency by two points in a single day was due to his natural talent in boxing.

Having a talent for boxing not only reduces the difficulty of mastering boxing techniques, but also allows you to better control various boxing fighting skills!

After discovering this, Xiao Yang also began to pay more attention to the rewards for boxing missions.

After a day of cultivation, Xiao Yang, having finished his medicinal bath, went to bed to begin cultivating his fighting spirit.

He hadn't slept for a long time.

Nowadays, people mostly replace sleep with meditation.

He sat cross-legged on the bed, assumed a proper posture, and began to channel the fighting spirit within his body.

During the Qi of Battle stage, one cannot practice martial arts techniques.

Therefore, he could only guide the fighting spirit away from the dantian and begin to circulate it throughout the body's meridians.

In addition to gradually expanding the meridians and laying the foundation for the future, this process also allows the absorption of traces of external energy.

After the fighting spirit completes a full cycle within the body, it returns to the dantian, thus transforming this external energy into one's own fighting spirit.

The reason why Xiao Yan was able to recover his strength so quickly after Yao Lao appeared was not only due to the Foundation Building Elixir, but also because of another major reason.

That means he had already expanded his meridians considerably before he was promoted to the rank of Dou Zhe.

Despite his cultivation level regressing in recent years, he has not given up on cultivation.

During this process, the width of the meridians is basically expanded to its limit.

Therefore, he was able to quickly recover his strength after the old man stopped absorbing his cultivation.

Xiao Yang also pays attention to this when he is cultivating.

Every time he cultivates, he tries his best to open up his meridians with fighting spirit.

Just as he was doing his usual routine, completing a full cycle of Qi and guiding the fighting Qi back to his Dantian.

He felt a bottleneck inside his body suddenly shatter.

The next moment, a suction force emanated from his dantian.

External energy surged into his body, flowing through his meridians and into his dantian, quickly transforming into his power.

At the same time, a system notification sounded in his mind.

[Task: Break through to the eighth stage of Dou Qi. Reward: Constitution +1, Root Bone +1, Foundation Establishment Elixir. Completed. Claim reward?]

Xiao Yang's face was full of surprise at this moment.

He has finally broken through to the eighth level of Dou Qi!

He had reached the peak of the seventh level of Dou Qi a few days ago, and originally thought it would take a few more days to break through.

Unexpectedly, I broke through to the next level today. Coupled with the Fierce Mountain Fist I acquired today, it can be said that I have double happiness!

Chapter 11 Foundation Building Elixir

"System, claim your reward!"

Xiao Yang silently recited it in his mind, somewhat impatiently.

You should know that the reward for this mission is the Foundation Establishment Elixir that he has been looking forward to for a long time!

With the Foundation Establishment Elixir, he could quickly reach the ninth level of Battle Qi and attempt to break through to the Battle Warrior level.

The system rewards were distributed the next moment.

Xiao Yang first noticed the changes within himself.

He felt a warm current flowing through his body, and his physical condition improved significantly once again.

Not only that, but that's not all.

He discovered that another energy was flowing out from his dantian.

This energy flowed through his limbs and bones.

He was somewhat surprised to find that his dantian had expanded a little.

Not only that, but my meridians have also widened considerably!

The expansion of the dantian and the widening of the meridians signify an improvement in one's natural talent!

He guessed that it was the change brought about by the +1 to Root Bone as a reward for completing the mission.

At this moment, Xiao Yang realized that the Foundation Establishment Elixir and the +1 to his physique were not the greatest rewards he had received this time.

The most important reward this time is the +1 to Root Bone!

Improving one's physical constitution directly enhances one's cultivation talent!

The Foundation Establishment Elixir that he had just cherished was immediately tossed aside by him.

Xiao Yang began to try a full cycle of breathing exercises to feel the changes within his body.

He discovered that if he had cultivated for about a year, he could have broken through to the ninth level of Dou Qi.

Now, it may only take ten months to break through to the ninth level of Dou Qi!

If the Foundation Building Elixir is added, this time may be further shortened.

Xiao Yang felt that, not counting the other rewards from the system, he could break through to the ninth level of Dou Qi in about four or five months with the help of the Foundation Building Elixir.

Xiao Yan was able to break through in three months because he was inherently more talented than Xiao Yang.

Therefore, the time it takes to break through will definitely be shorter than Xiao Yang's.

Moreover, one dose of Foundation Building Elixir can only be used for two months, so Xiao Yang's progress will definitely be slower.
