High Martial Arts: Creating a Prodigy Character from Scratch

Chapter 107 Breaking Through the Harmony Stage, the Path to Advanced Imagery (Long Chapter)

"The ranking competition is fierce tonight, especially in the Star Ranking. Several new players have surged onto the leaderboard, pushing some veteran players off the list!"

"The performances of players like Lightwing Knight, Qin Tiandi, and Gale Demon Sword are the most dazzling, not only climbing the rankings but also entering the top 90!"

At the front desk of the game arcade, Yuan Bo was talking non-stop about various game-related matters.

When he got excited, he couldn't help but gesticulate wildly, as if he wished he could compete on the same stage with these influential figures.

However, that's impossible. He doesn't have much talent in martial arts, otherwise he wouldn't be working at the arcade.

"I never expected there to be such a master," Qin He remarked, staring at the name on the screen.

85th place: Lightwing Knight; 89th place: Gale Demon Sword.

One was ranked higher than him, and the other was right behind him; both had climbed up in a short period of time.

Although Qin He only used his fist techniques in the fight and did not use his full strength, he was still not someone that ordinary players could match, which shows that the two of them were quite strong.

After chatting with Yuan Bo for a while, Qin He left the game center and returned to the staff dormitory to rest.

The next morning, Qin He got up on time, washed up, ate breakfast, and then clocked in for work.

When Qin He arrived at the workshop, Wei Tongzhou was already busy at the worktable.

"You're here. I heard from Xiaoyunxiu that you performed exceptionally well in the seven-school joint exam yesterday, and even came in first place among the seven schools."

""

Wei Tongzhou raised his head, looked at Qin He, and smiled.

He had a lot of interaction with Xu Yunxiu during this period and heard a lot of things from her.

"Teacher Wei, please stop teasing me. Martial arts student competitions are hardly worth your attention. Let's not talk about it."

Qin He smiled helplessly and glossed over the matter with a single sentence, without exaggerating further.

Although he enjoys showing off his abilities in public, he dislikes boasting. After all, showing off in public is genuine, while boasting is self-promotion and only loses favor.

"You kid, process this batch of raw materials today. Mark all the specifications and make them into rough sculptures."

.

Wei Tongzhou smiled and stopped teasing him. Instead, he told Qin He about his work for the day.

Qin He wrote everything down and made a time plan.

However, Qin He did not start carving immediately, but instead turned around and went to a corner of the workshop to meditate and cultivate.

Wei Tongzhou was used to it and didn't pay much attention to it, after all, he knew Qin He's cultivation habits.

However, compared to the past, Qin He is quite looking forward to this meditation practice.

The reason is simple: his power of imagery is about to break through again.

[Severing Imagery: Sensation and Understanding (65.1%→99.9%)]

After yesterday afternoon's rough sculpture work and last night's virtual battle, Qin He's power of imagery has advanced by leaps and bounds.

In fact, if Qin He hadn't deliberately suppressed it last night, he probably would have broken through by then.

However, breakthroughs in the power of imagery are relatively rare, and Qin He really didn't want to miss it, which is why he waited until this morning.

boom!

In less than a moment, a powerful aura of imagery erupted from Qin He, like a sword that could cut through anything, determined to annihilate everything in the world.

【Severing the Imagery: Feeling and Harmony (3%)】

The imagery has been successfully slashed, breaking through the period of harmony!

Qin He could sense that his understanding of the imagery of cutting and slicing had reached an unprecedented level.

This is precisely the effect of harmonious imagery, enabling him to fully understand the power of cutting through imagery.

At the same time, Qin He's inner power began to take shape, and his perception ability was greatly enhanced. He could not only sense the existence of various imagery powers, but also hear the silent stories of all things in the world.

This is precisely the characteristic of a perfect and complete state of mind, and also the origin of the name of listening to all things.

"Every time I see you on the weekend, you always bring me surprises, whether it's a breakthrough in the power of imagery, the comprehension of new imagery, or a breakthrough in swordsmanship."

Wei Tongzhou looked helpless, his gaze towards Qin He almost numb.

Qinhe's talent for imagery is astonishing.

He no longer wanted to say such things, but every time he saw Qin He, Qin He would break through to a higher level, and after a while, he was almost numb to it.

[Imagery Transformation (Green): You possess exceptional talent for imagery, capable of transforming abstract images into concrete scenes in your mind. This increases visualization training efficiency by 30%, accelerating the condensation of imagery.]

As Wei Tongzhou was complaining, a shimmering green light appeared and slowly condensed into a green entry.

It can only be said that Wei Tongzhou's words and actions were inconsistent; while he openly complained, he was still amazed by Qin He's incredible talent.

Qin He remained calm and unmoved by this.

On the one hand, he has performed miracles in front of people too many times, so the audience's reaction is basically predictable.

On the other hand, it's because of the affixes. Having just obtained several purple and blue affixes, Qin He is already quite fortunate not to be disappointed with only one green affix.

After exchanging a few words with Wei Tongzhou, Qin He finally returned to his post and began his work for the day.

In the following period, Qin He did not cause any more trouble and focused on making the rough sculpture and completing the work tasks assigned to him by Wei Tongzhou.

It wasn't until lunch break that Qin He approached Wei Tongzhou and asked him to teach him the method of Tri-Element Resonance.

"The Tri-Element Resonance Method—you've mastered the third martial arts conception?"

Wei Tongzhou was slightly stunned. He had been so busy lately that he had almost forgotten about this matter.

However, as soon as Qin He mentioned it, he immediately recalled it and opened his senses to check Qin He's imagery.

Upon investigation, Wei Tongzhou was almost dumbfounded.

"Wait, what's going on with your martial arts aura? How can it be so mixed up? Just how many martial arts auras have you comprehended?"

Wei Tongzhou stared wide-eyed at Qin He, his face full of shock, eager to know what had happened to Qin He this week.

According to Xu Yunxiu, Qin He was supposed to be taking a joint entrance exam for seven schools this week, so why is there such a big change?

Last week there were only three martial arts concepts.

However, upon meeting Qin He today, he discovered that the martial arts imagery within Qin He's body was mixed and disordered, probably exceeding seven or eight types.

This is outrageous!

In just one week, how did Qin He manage to do that?

"Watching other players fight yesterday, I was inspired and successfully grasped the rudiments of several images."

"If we include the initial images of cutting, sharpness, and piercing, there are already ten images."

Qin He answered truthfully, without any concealment, and told Wei Tongzhou everything he knew about the power of imagery.

Upon hearing this, Wei Tongzhou froze completely, staring at Qin He in disbelief.

Ten martial arts concepts!

Even true geniuses of imagery would find it difficult to comprehend so many different martial arts images at the stage of sensing artistic conception.

It can only be said that Qin He's talent in the art of imagery martial arts is truly astonishing.

Even without observing extraordinary celestial phenomena or using imagery sculptures, one can comprehend martial arts imagery simply by watching imagery warriors fight.

[Sensitive to Imagery (Green): You are naturally sensitive and have a strong affinity for the martial arts imagery around you. Even just watching other martial arts practitioners fight can give you insights into the martial arts imagery. Your imagery comprehension efficiency is increased by 40%.]

Under Wei Tongzhou's indescribable expression, a new entry was born once again.

"Teacher Wei, comprehending multiple martial arts concepts shouldn't be a bad thing, right?"

Seeing Wei Tongzhou's reaction, Qin He's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly had a bad feeling. He quickly asked Wei Tongzhou for advice.

"It's hard to say. Let me find out first. What are the ten martial arts concepts you've grasped?"

Wei Tongzhou did not give a definite answer, but instead sought further information about Qin He's martial arts imagery.

"They are: slicing, sharp, piercing, white frost, blowing, heavy, scorching, entwining, warm, flowing."

"The first three are martial arts images, while the latter seven are just the prototypes of images, only the initial understanding, and have not yet been fully formed."

Qin He quickly recounted the details of the ten martial arts concepts one by one.

"It's too messy. It includes not only sword and saber imagery, but also the Five Elements imagery, and even elemental imagery."

Wei Tongzhou shook his head, his face showing no sign of hope.

Swords and blades are used for cutting, sharpness, and piercing.

The earth element is heavy, the wood element is entangled, the water element is flowing, and the fire element is hot and warm.

Ice-like frost, wind-like blowing.

He had never seen anyone possess such a chaotic array of martial arts concepts.

"Qin He, you probably don't know the cultivation methods for those above the Sensing Realm, but that's normal, since you haven't reached that level yet, which is why you made this mistake."

Wei Tongzhou said helplessly, seemingly asking Qin He, but his tone was very certain.

Qin He nodded; he truly did not know.

The academic classes only give a general overview of the various realms, but the specific cultivation methods are ultimately taught by the martial arts teachers.

However, Qin He's situation was special. His cultivation speed far exceeded that of his classmates. In order not to affect other students' practice, he was even asked to leave the classroom early and usually cultivated alone.

Of course, this doesn't mean the school doesn't care about Qin He's cultivation.

However, he had just broken through to the Harmony stage and was still some distance away from breaking through to the Resonance stage, so the school teachers naturally wouldn't teach him more advanced cultivation methods.

Qin He guessed that once he broke through to the Resonance Realm, Lu Tiankuo would talk to him and teach him the cultivation method of the Resonance Realm.

However, judging from Wei Tongzhou's words, he has not yet broken through to the Resonance Realm, but it seems that there has been a problem with his cultivation.

"Alright then, I'll introduce you properly on behalf of your teacher."

Seeing this situation, Wei Tongzhou felt that as Xu Yunxiu's elder, it was necessary for him to teach Qin He on her behalf and introduce the next stage of cultivation.

"The Resonance Realm is the second major realm of Imagery Martial Arts, and also a significant turning point in Imagery Martial Arts."

"The so-called resonance realm is when a martial artist resonates with an image, causing the power of that image to leave the body and take shape."

"Take your ice element imagery, Frost Imagery, for example. Once Frost Imagery resonates, it can penetrate your body and transform into cold frost, freezing everything around you and your enemies."

"This is different from the power of frost imagery wrapping around a weapon, thus emanating a chill. This is a genuine resonance of imagery, using imagery to permeate the environment..."

"The resonance of elemental imagery is the most obvious, which is why I used it as an example, but sword and blade imagery is not bad either."

"Just like your slashing intent, once the slashing intent resonates, it can transform into slashing sword energy, which can be used to kill enemies. This is also one of the characteristics of us swordsmen..."

As Wei Tongzhou slowly explained, Qin He finally gained a clear understanding of the Resonance Realm.

It must be said that martial arts cultivation truly involves reaching a new realm with each step.

Although it is only a difference between the upper and lower realms, the difference between the realm of feeling and the realm of resonance is as vast as heaven and earth.

If martial artists at the Sensation Realm can still be considered regular combat martial artists, then those at the Resonance Realm begin to transcend the ranks of ordinary people.

Whether it's using sword energy to kill enemies or using elements to permeate the environment, these are things that ordinary martial artists cannot do. No wonder Wei Tongzhou said that the Resonance Realm is an important turning point in the martial arts of imagery.

"If you think that way, you are very wrong. The sword energy killing enemies and the elemental contamination of the environment are just the manifestations of the resonance realm, but they are not the reason for the resonance transformation."

"What I mean by a significant turning point is a different path for the advancement of imagery."

Wei Tongzhou shook his head, rejecting Qin He's idea, and patiently explained the reasons behind it.

"When novice martial artists first come into contact with imagery martial arts, the martial arts imagery they perceive is weak."

"These are the levels of imagery they can access and successfully comprehend. The ten martial arts imagery you have comprehended all belong to the category of weak imagery."

"However, there is an upper limit to weak imagery. After breaking through to the Resonance Realm, the cultivation of weak imagery reaches its limit and cannot be advanced further."

.

"That's not quite accurate. According to scientists, weak images are basic images, representing the foundation of a certain type of thing. Theoretically speaking, weak images have an infinite future."

"But theory is theory; no one has ever become a martial arts master based solely on weak imagery."

"Through the research and exploration of countless martial arts predecessors, two types of imagery martial arts paths have been discovered."

"The first type is the advancement of the same type of martial arts imagery."

"Taking the fire element as an example, you already possess the imagery of blazing heat. If you further comprehend the imagesry of [Mars] and [Burning], you can advance to the fire element imagery of [Raging Fire]."

"The second type is the fusion of different types of martial arts imagery."

"This kind of imagery needs to be compatible. Based on your fiery imagery, if you also comprehend earth-based imagery, there is a chance that it will merge into the [Lava] imagery."

"Both approaches lead to the same goal: to elevate weaker images into more advanced ones. This is the method of advancement in the art of imagery martial arts."

'

As Wei Tongzhou slowly explained, Qin He finally understood the special nature of the Resonance Realm.

He never expected that after a martial artist breaks through to the Resonance Realm, they would embark on a different path of advancement.

It seems that with the beginning of the Resonance Realm, different branches and schools of martial arts will emerge.

However, regardless of the specific advanced style, it all boils down to the path of imagery advancement.

Moreover, Qin He discovered something else.

Whether it's advancing similar imagery or fusing dissimilar imagery, both require mutual compatibility between martial arts imagery.

If the martial arts concept doesn't align, it's impossible to advance successfully.

Just like water-based and fire-based imagery, they are naturally incompatible and mutually destructive, making it extremely difficult for them to merge, let alone advance in their evolution.

In other words, the choice of martial arts imagery is of paramount importance to a martial artist.

And what about Qinhe?

Because he haphazardly comprehended the imagery, he actually comprehended ten different martial arts imagery.

It's hard to imagine that the future fusion of Qinhe's imagery would produce such a result.

That's why Wei Tongzhou was so shocked and troubled when he heard that Qin He had comprehended ten martial arts concepts.

It can only be said that Qin He unknowingly dug a huge hole for himself.
