Cultivating Immortality: I Have a High-Martial World

Chapter 23 Martial Arts, Lin Family Three Blades!

Military region, martial arts training room.

"1024 kg!"

"1019 kg!"

"1030 kg!"

Lin Chen stood in front of a strength testing instrument, looking at the punch he had thrown with satisfaction.

With a strength exceeding one thousand kilograms, his strength has reached the standard of an intermediate martial artist!

Next up is the speed test.

"25.1 meters per second, 25 meters per second, 25.3 meters per second..."

Although the speed was slightly slower, it still barely reached the standard of 25 meters per second for intermediate martial artists.

Looking at Lin Chen testing himself next to the instrument, Li Nian nodded slightly, her face showing appreciation.

There are people in the Great Xia Kingdom who can reach the intermediate level of martial artist at Lin Chen's age, but only a handful of them do so each year.

Compared to Li Nian, Wang Xinyu was much more shocked.

At this moment, her cherry lips were slightly parted, and her face showed a look of shock as if she had seen a ghost.

Seeing that Wang Xinyu was somewhat out of sorts, Li Nian asked with some confusion:

"Although Lin Chen is very talented, you've seen it before... Is it really necessary to be so surprised?"

Wang Xinyu was momentarily speechless after hearing this, and then said:

"What do you know? He only broke through to the beginner level of martial arts a week ago..."

Upon hearing this, Li Nian immediately wore a look of disbelief.

Intermediate martial artists under the age of eighteen, well, they are very rare...

But to advance from a beginner martial artist to an intermediate martial artist in just one week... is that a monster?

A serious look appeared in Li Nian's eyes, and she said in a low voice:

"Even without the ability to transmigrate to the cultivation world... Lin Chen himself is probably a once-in-a-century genius in the Great Xia Kingdom!"

"He should have been selected for the Sequence Program, right? What's his ranking?"

Wang Xinyu recalled, "It seems there were 589 people..."

Li Nian frowned slightly after hearing this:

"589th place? That's a bit low..."

"However, he hasn't awakened his Martial Spirit yet, so this ranking is already quite amazing."

Wang Xinyu neither confirmed nor denied this.

Improving martial arts aptitude and physical fitness is indeed crucial.

However, for martial artists, the strength of their awakened martial spirit often determines their upper limit.

Throughout history, there have been numerous examples of martial arts geniuses who awakened useless martial spirits, resulting in a significant reduction in their potential...

There are also those with ordinary talent who awaken powerful martial spirits and are given special training by the state.

"However, for the nation, Lin Chen has probably already far surpassed the category of mere genius..."

Wang Xinyu thought to herself.

As the first person to learn about Lin Chen's abilities, she had the highest expectations for his potential.

"However, martial arts aptitude is also very important!"

Wang Xinyu used her communication bracelet to photograph Lin Chen's records one by one, and then sent them to Wang Lishan.

She wanted to secure a higher status and more resources for Lin Chen.

At this moment, Li Nian also walked up to Lin Chen and pointed out:

"Even martial artists with the same amount of Qi and Blood can unleash varying levels of power... and sometimes the difference can be significant!"

"You need to master the method of exerting force!"

After hearing this, Lin Chen stopped the test and asked curiously:

"So how do you master this method of applying force?"

As a young major and a martial arts prodigy, Li Nian has a lot of experience in this area.

He began to speak in a detailed and engaging manner:

"Even for the same martial artist, the power generated by different parts of their body varies..."

"For example, a master of fists has the best punching power, and a master of kicks has the greatest leg strength. But regardless of the method of power transfer, it all starts with the waist leading the shoulders, concentrating the body's power into a single point..."

"This method of generating power, summarized by countless predecessors, has been compiled into a martial arts technique!"

"Powerful martial arts techniques can even allow a martial artist to unleash several times their own strength... swordsmanship, knife techniques, leg techniques, fist techniques..."

Lin Chen nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

He had only recently become a martial artist and didn't know much about these things.

Li Nian clearly saw it too, and said:

"If you're willing, I can teach you some martial arts techniques later for self-defense..."

Lin Chen readily agreed.

……

As darkness fell, Lin Chen returned home under Li Nian's protection.

At this moment, Aunt Kong Shan had already cooked a table full of dishes.

Lin Chen ate very comfortably. Although it wasn't as delicious as spiritual food, it tasted like home.

As evening fell and Lin Chen lay in bed preparing to cultivate, there was another knock on the door.

"Uncle..." Lin Chen called out, and it was Lin Jianhe who knocked on the door.

Lin Jianhe sat in a wheelchair, but now he held a slender Tang sword in his hand.

A hint of surprise flashed in Lin Chen's eyes, but then Lin Jianhe said:

"Xiao Chen, you've been away from home sometimes these past few days. Have you been attending secret training at the military base?"

"Do you know how long it will be before we go to the battlefield?"

Lin Chen knew Lin Jianhe was overthinking things again, but he still kept it a secret:

"It'll probably be after you go to university... maybe another four or five years?"

Lin Jianhe breathed a slight sigh of relief after hearing this, and then said:

"Xiao Chen, a martial artist cannot fight against a monster on the battlefield based solely on physical strength."

"More importantly... you need superb martial arts skills!"

Lin Chen was slightly surprised after hearing this, because what his uncle said coincided with what Li Nian had said during the day.

Lin Jianhe sighed, his tone heavy as he said:

"Xiao Chen, you are very talented, far surpassing your father and me back then... It won't be long before you surpass our level."

"Therefore, there's nothing I can do to help you..."

"But your father and I fought on the battlefield for over ten years, mastering a sword technique and gaining considerable experience..."

"Would you be willing to learn from me? That way, when we go to war, we'll have more ways to protect ourselves..."

Lin Chen immediately understood after hearing this.

Lin Jianhe was worried that he would not have the martial arts skills to save his life if he went to the battlefield in the future.

He admitted that he couldn't help Lin Chen much, but could only pass on his most precious ancestral sword techniques to himself.

Although Lin Chen did not think Lin Jianhe's martial arts skills were stronger than Li Nian's.

But blood is thicker than water between uncle and nephew, and this heartfelt concern is evident in their words.

Lin Chen didn't want his uncle's efforts to go to waste, so he nodded and said:

"I do, Uncle!"

Lin Jianhe nodded slightly and said:

"The sword technique I learned is called the Lin Family Three Blades... Back then, I made quite a name for myself in the martial arts world with this technique..."

"Back in the Martial Realm, I encountered a demonic beast at the level of a Grand Martial Master. I killed it with the Lin Family Three Blades, but its final counterattack resulted in the amputation of my limbs below the knees..."

"Over the years, many people have come to me wanting to learn this sword technique."

Lin Chen became interested after hearing this.

To be able to kill a monster one realm higher than oneself with this martial skill is indeed quite amazing.

"This sword technique has only three forms: the chopping form, the thrusting form, and the vibrating form!"

"Among them, the vibration technique is the most difficult, and it is also the essence of swordsmanship..."

Lin Jianhe, sitting in a wheelchair, demonstrated sword techniques to Lin Chen.

With a flick of his finger, the blade, forged from fine iron, emitted a soft hum.

"Chen'er, can you feel the vibration of the blade?"

"At the moment of swinging the sword, one subtly vibrates the blade with their own strength... thereby unleashing power far exceeding their inherent limits!"

"By mastering the 'Zhen' technique to its peak, one can possess power several times greater than their current level!"

Therefore, it is also known as the "vibrating blade"!

Lin Jianhe continued to explain the essence of the Lin Family Three Knives to Lin Chen.

His decades of martial arts experience and insights are all incorporated into this sword technique, so how can it be underestimated?

Lin Chen had excellent comprehension skills, and with Lin Jianhe's constant demonstrations, he gradually figured out the mysteries of the Lin Family Three Knives.

The character "劈" (pī) has a powerful and heavy force, capable of confronting an enemy.

The key to stabbing lies in speed, which allows one to take the enemy's head.

The clapping blade is the true essence, allowing the user to unleash power far exceeding that of other martial artists at the same level.

The uncle and nephew then taught and learned in the room.

It wasn't until late at night that Lin Jianhe went back to his room to sleep.

Lin Chen was exhausted after practicing his swordsmanship, but instead of going to sleep, he prepared to cultivate.

Lin Chen took out a spirit stone, held it in his hand, and murmured:

"Although Blue Star lacks spiritual energy, it is impossible to cultivate directly on it."

"But I should be able to cultivate with the help of spirit stones, right? Let's give it a try..."
