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

"System, learn and optimize 'Seven Star Step' (incomplete) and 'Sky-Splitting Finger' (incomplete)."

[Command confirmed, begin simulation and optimization...]

[Consuming 10000 HP, the Seven Star Step (Fragment) has been optimized and evolved into the Sky-Treading Step (Mystic Rank Supreme), combining small-area teleportation with linear burst speed.]

[Consuming 100 million HP, the "Sky-Splitting Finger" (Fragment) has been optimized and evolved into the "Void-Piercing Finger" (HP Skill). Effect: Extremely compresses HP into a single point for explosive release, with extremely strong penetrating power. Its destructive power is ten times the HP consumed, with a minimum HP consumption of 100 points per use.]

Looking at the system interface's description of the "Penetrating Void Finger," Su Jie was overjoyed!

"Although I lost 100 million HP points at once, the system directly optimized it into a HP-boosting skill, and the damage output of each use is directly equal to ten times the HP points consumed?!"

This means that as long as he has enough blood and qi, he can unleash a terrifying attack that far exceeds his basic combat strength!

Although it consumes a lot of energy and puts a strain on the body, it is the perfect ultimate weapon for him, when combined with the continuous production and massive reserves of Qi and blood from his "Original Breathing Technique"!

According to the rules, Su Jie could only make a copy of one martial art here to learn back at home. However, due to system optimization, Su Jie's proficiency in these two martial arts techniques directly reached the perfect level.

"Then I'll choose another martial art that I can use openly as a cover." Su Jie pondered, his gaze sweeping casually across the bookshelf before finally settling on a low-grade Xuan-level sword technique called "Flowing Shadow Sword Technique".

The description states that this sword technique excels in speed, and mastering it can increase basic combat power by approximately 1.5 times.

"This will do." Su Jie casually picked up the jade slip containing the "Flowing Shadow Sword Technique." A system notification followed:

[Detected a low-grade Xuan-rank martial skill, "Flowing Shadow Sword Technique." Consume 500 points of Qi and Blood to directly master it to its perfect state?]

"System, you're really amazing! Consumable!" Su Jie thought to himself with delight. Instantly, all the moves, techniques, and practical applications of the "Flowing Shadow Sword Technique" were imprinted in his mind, as if he had been practicing diligently for decades and had reached a state of perfection.

He pretended to be serious as he carried the jade slip containing the "Flowing Shadow Sword Technique" to the registration desk.

Seeing Su Jie's choice, the staff nodded and said routinely, "The 'Flowing Shadow Sword Technique' is a good foundational sword technique, a safe choice."

Su Jie smiled but didn't say anything more. The staff made a copy of the "Flowing Shadow Sword Technique" jade slip for him according to regulations.

As Su Jie stepped out of the library, a smile curved his lips as he contemplated the perfected state of the "Flowing Shadow Sword Technique" in his mind and the trump card "Penetrating Void Finger" that he had already mastered.

"The Sky-Stepping Technique enhances movement speed and evasion, allowing for visible swordplay against the enemy, and a single finger strike to decide the outcome at crucial moments... Perfect! I need to go back and find a place to test it out!"

After returning to Linjiang City from Jinling City, Su Jie came to a deserted wasteland in the suburbs, where he concentrated and recalled the energy circulation method instilled by the system.

The first time, he carefully guided the minimum standard of 100 points of Qi and blood, gathering them in the index and middle fingers of his right hand.

"Buzz!" A slight tingling and burning sensation came from his fingertips, and a concentrated sense of power welled up within him. He pointed his fingers at a half-person-high blue stone in the distance!

laugh!

A barely perceptible burst of energy shot through the air and struck the blue stone precisely.

With a soft "poof" sound, a hole the size of a thumb and bottomless appeared on the surface of the bluestone, with smooth, mirror-like edges!

"The power is indeed astonishing! This finger strike with only 100 points of Qi and Blood has the destructive power of 1000 points of combat power, enough to easily pierce through ordinary steel!" Su Jie nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he gradually increased his blood and energy investment.

With 200 points of Qi and Blood, a single finger shot out, piercing through an even larger rock in the distance, leaving a clear hole.

With 500 points of Qi and Blood, a thick piece of metal scrap was torn apart like paper as soon as the wind passed by!

As the amount of Qi and blood invested increased, the power of the "Penetrating Void Finger" soared exponentially, but the backlash also became increasingly severe. A noticeable soreness began to emanate from the finger bones, and a burning pain, as if the meridians in the arm were being stretched open, was felt.

"Let's see where my limits are!" Su Jie gritted his teeth and began to mobilize more of his qi and blood.

When the blood and qi input reached 800 points, the meridians of his entire right arm began to tremble violently, and tiny blood droplets seeped from the surface of his skin, causing excruciating pain.

He endured the discomfort and pushed his Qi and Blood value to 1000 points!

Om-!

The power gathered at his fingertips seemed to transform into a miniature black hole, frantically devouring the surrounding light and emitting a terrifying wave of destruction!

The load on his arm had reached its limit, and his bones groaned as if they were about to shatter completely!

"go!"

Su Jie let out a low roar and pointed at a small, abandoned mound in the distance!

An invisible, sharp whistling sound ripped through the air!

There was no deafening explosion, only a soft "poof" sound.

The next moment, the top of the small mound seemed to have been gnawed away by an invisible behemoth, leaving a hemispherical gap several meters in diameter with perfectly smooth edges! The cut surface was as smooth as a mirror, and all the soil and sand were completely annihilated by that single finger!

The destructive power of this finger strike reached a terrifying level of 10,000 combat power!

"Cough cough..." Su Jie withdrew his fingers, breathing heavily, his face pale, his right arm hanging limply, temporarily numb, his meridians burning with intense pain as if they were being scorched by fire.

"The limit is 1000 points of Qi and Blood output? One hit for 10,000 combat power, that's enough!" He endured the pain, but his eyes gleamed with excitement. With this trump card in hand, as long as his body could withstand the strain, he could practically do whatever he wanted within the Qi Condensation Realm!

"Moreover, as long as I continue to refine my martial acupoints, my body will also be strengthened. Otherwise, using this 'Penetrating Void Finger' would really be like injuring the enemy a thousand while harming myself eight hundred." He thought with a grin, his desire for strength growing even stronger.

After the experiment, he had a clear understanding of his limits and the power of this trump card.

"Zhou family... I hope you won't force me to use this finger technique with the power of 10,000 battle points."

For the next two days, Su Jie's life returned to its "monotonous" rhythm: eating, sleeping, and tempering his martial arts acupoints. Occasionally, he would multitask, checking the cloud trading platform for any new and interesting items and learning about this world.

[Ding! Martial Aperture Tempering Successful! Current Martial Aperture Level: 7. Combat Power +11!]

[Current Martial Acupoints: Level 7: 12, Level 6: 87]

Current Qi and Blood Reserves: 3145450 points

[Combat Power: 2508 points!]

The improvement brought by the seventh-level martial acupoint is particularly obvious, each one can increase combat power by 11 points compared to the sixth-level martial acupoint! Su Jie can feel that his power is moving towards an unbelievable realm.

That afternoon, he was guiding his qi and blood at home when a commotion suddenly broke out outside, accompanied by arrogant shouts.
