High Martial Arts: Gains one point of health per second, sweeping across the heavens.

"You!" The gentleness on Zhou Kun's face vanished completely, replaced by a livid expression and rage. He hadn't expected Su Jie to be so ungrateful, and to speak so sharply!

"Fine! Very well!" Zhou Kun laughed angrily, his eyes fixed on Su Jie with a sinister glint. "Su Jie, you've got guts! I hope your backbone stays as hard as your mouth! We'll see!"

After saying that, he didn't say anything more, abruptly turned around, jumped back into the car, and slammed the door shut. The black sedan let out a low growl and sped away, leaving a trail of exhaust fumes behind.

Su Jie stared at the direction the car had disappeared in, his eyes turning slightly cold.

However, a martial arts school in Tianlin City thinks it can recruit transmigrators with cheat abilities? They're just dreaming!

"Whatever, we'll deal with whatever comes our way." Su Jie stopped thinking about it. "The most important thing right now is to continue honing my martial arts skills! Strength is the foundation!"

As soon as Su Jie returned to the downstairs of his residence, he saw his homeroom teacher, Li Heng, already waiting there, his face beaming with barely suppressed joy.

"Su Jie! You're finally back!" Li Heng rushed forward, his voice trembling with excitement. "Great news! Incredibly great news!"

"Teacher Li, what's making you so happy?" Su Jie asked with a smile.

"The school! The city! The province! They've all approved your awards!" Li Heng pulled out a notification slip displayed on a light screen, speaking rapidly, "The school is awarding you 500,000 star coins! The city education bureau is awarding you 1 million star coins! The biggest award is from the provincial education department! They've awarded you 3 million star coins, plus a chance to enter the 'Provincial Martial Arts Library' in the Xuan-rank area and choose any martial arts technique!"

Su Jie took the notification and glanced at it; the numbers were indeed tempting. Four and a half million Star Essence was enough for him to splurge for a while. What piqued his interest, however, were the cultivation techniques in the provincial library's Profound Rank section. Although he couldn't use them himself, perhaps he could use them for reference or sell them?

"Thank you, Teacher Li, and thank you to the school for your guidance," Su Jie replied politely, his attitude neither humble nor arrogant.

Looking at Su Jie's calm reaction, Li Heng was filled with mixed emotions. If it were any other student receiving such a reward, they would probably have jumped for joy. But Su Jie remained so composed; such composure truly indicated he was no ordinary person!

After seeing Li Heng off, Su Jie returned to his room and looked at the notification that 4.5 million star coins had been deposited into his account, feeling quite pleased.

"The money is in place. Anyway, I've already asked Instructor Li Heng for leave. I'll go to the Provincial Martial Arts Library tomorrow morning." He lay on the bed, guiding his qi and blood to temper the next martial acupoint while pondering.

"Although my current basic combat strength is sufficient to handle most situations, martial arts techniques are like tools from my past life. While slapping someone in the face is satisfying, with the right techniques, slapping someone in the face can be much less strenuous, and crushing them is even more fun, isn't it?"

"The Xuan-level area of ​​the Provincial Martial Arts Library... I hope to find something interesting there."

Early the next morning, Su Jie took a high-speed train and arrived in Jinling City, the capital of Tiandu Province. The Provincial Martial Arts Library was a magnificent and imposing building, like an iron fortress. Everyone who entered and exited had a calm demeanor and sharp eyes.

After verifying his identity and reward certificate, a staff member led him to the entrance of the Xuan Ti area.

"Mr. Su Jie, you have one opportunity to enter the lower-grade Xuan-level area to choose a cultivation technique or martial art. You have two hours to do so. You are prohibited from using your Qi and blood or making noise within the area. After you have made your choice, you must register and make a copy here." The staff member explained the rules meticulously.

Su Jie nodded and stepped inside.

The Xuan Ti area was far more spacious than imagined, with rows of tall metal bookshelves standing tall. Instead of books, they held jade slips or special metal pieces that emitted faint energy fluctuations. Each storage unit had a brief description next to it.

"Layered Wave Force" (Lower-grade Profound): A method of stacking Qi and Blood, which can be stacked up to three times, unleashing 1.5 times the instantaneous attack power. It requires extremely high control over Qi and Blood.

"Willow Catkin Body Technique" (Lower-grade Profound): The body moves like a willow catkin, following the wind, greatly enhancing evasion ability. When cultivated to perfection, one can sense changes in airflow.

Golden Bell Shield (Low-grade Xuan): An external defensive martial art that condenses qi and blood to form a protective shield with outstanding defensive power, but restricts movement.

"Breaking and Killing Fist" (Low-grade Profound Rank): Focuses on one point, penetrates armor and defenses, and is particularly effective against condensed-type defenses. Its destructive power is concentrated...

The dazzling array of martial arts techniques overwhelmed Su Jie. As he quickly browsed through them, he silently asked himself, "System, can you scan these techniques and give me the best recommendations? Or are there any hidden gems?"

[Ding! Host's needs detected. Scanning energy fluctuations in the area... Scan complete. Most martial arts skill levels meet the standards for lower-grade Xuan rank. Three abnormal fluctuation points were detected, suspected to have been misclassified into this area due to their age or identification error.]

[Recommendation 1: "Seven Star Steps" (incomplete), marked as a low-grade Xuan-rank technique, but actually contains some essence of the Earth-rank movement technique "Big Dipper Sky-Treading Steps," with subtle energy fluctuations.]

[Recommendation 2: "Sky-Splitting Finger" (Fragment), marked as a low-grade Xuan-rank technique, is actually a fragment of an ancient finger technique. It requires extremely strong Qi and blood to unleash its power, and its rating seems too low.]

[Recommendation 3: "The True Explanation of Basic Swordsmanship" (No Rank), mistakenly considered a common book, actually contains the fundamental rules of swordsmanship, pointing directly to the source, and has hidden benefits for the host in future cultivation of martial will.]

The system's notification cheered Su Jie up! Sure enough, finding bargains was the standard thrill for transmigrators!

Without hesitation, he headed straight for the location of "The True Explanation of Basic Swordsmanship." It was just a dusty, unremarkable piece of iron, sitting in a corner, covered in a thin layer of dust. The instructions were even more pitifully simple: "A summary of basic swordsmanship theory, suitable for beginners to build a foundation."

A young master from a prominent family, who was also selecting martial arts techniques, glanced at Su Jie and couldn't help but sneer, "Dude, this is a rare opportunity to visit the provincial library, and you choose this junk? It looks like it costs ten stars a book at a convenience store!"

Su Jie glanced at him and smiled faintly: "What suits you best is the best."

The young man from the aristocratic family shook his head and walked away with an expression that said he looked at a fool.

Su Jie didn't take it seriously, but secretly had the system help him absorb the true essence of swordsmanship.

A system notification sound then rang out:

[Knowledge carrier containing fundamental rules detected. Analysis of "The True Explanation of Basic Swordsmanship" in progress... Analysis complete! The host has mastered "Fundamentals of Swordsmanship" (passive). The efficiency of using all sword-type weapons has increased by 50%, and comprehension of sword techniques has been greatly enhanced.]

Instantly, a wealth of information about the most basic and essential aspects of swordsmanship flooded into my mind—gripping the sword, applying force, angle, trajectory, rhythm… There were no fancy moves, only a profound understanding of the “sword” itself.

"Not bad, that's a good foundation." Su Jie put down the iron plate with satisfaction. To him, this thing was even more valuable than those complete Xuan-level martial arts techniques.

Next, he found the jade slips containing the "Seven Star Steps" and "Sky-Splitting Finger".

The Seven Star Steps only has the first three steps of cultivation, described as moving according to the positions of the Big Dipper. It is extremely mysterious, but because it is an incomplete text, it is classified as a low-grade Xuan-level technique.

The "Sky-Splitting Finger" technique has only one move, requiring the extreme compression of qi and blood at the fingertips for an instantaneous burst. It has extremely strong penetrating power, but it is difficult to cultivate and consumes qi and blood each time it is used. It is underestimated because it is too useless.
