High Martial Arts: Creating a Prodigy Character from Scratch

Chapter 115 A Tour of Martial Arts Masters, The Ancient Martial Arts Sword Black Fiend Sword

Without the Dawn Body, Qin He would find it difficult to unleash the true power of the Floating Light Sword Technique, and its effect would be even less than that of the Perfected Five Elements Sword Technique.

For this reason, Qin He ultimately did not delve into the practice of the Floating Light Sword Technique.

As for Zhou Ran's mysterious swordsmanship, it was the most unique swordsmanship Qin He had ever encountered!

After his battle with Zhou Ran, Qin He attempted to dissect and learn the mysterious sword technique Zhou Ran used.

This has always been Qin He's habit: when he encounters a martial art technique he hasn't learned before, he will definitely try to learn it during the battle review.

However, this time, Qin He failed!

He repeatedly studied Zhou Ran's swordsmanship, but he could never learn that mysterious swordsmanship.

This puzzled Qin He.

Theoretically speaking, with his current level of comprehension, learning any sword technique should be a piece of cake, even advanced ones.

After all, Qin He's dictionary contains the most entries related to learning and kendo.

The combined effects of these terms made Qin He's talent in swordsmanship reach an astonishing level.

On the other hand, compared to the imagery of martial arts, learning martial arts techniques is relatively simple.

Qin He could comprehend the imagery of martial arts, succeeding about once every three or four attempts, but martial arts techniques were different; he could learn them almost every time.

Su Huaiyue's Floating Light Sword Technique is a special sword technique that cannot be compared to basic sword techniques, but Qin He still learned it with ease.

Why did they fail when they encountered Zhou Ran's mysterious swordsmanship?

This was Qin He's first failure in learning martial arts, so it left a deep impression on him.

All I can say is that there's something strange about Zhou Ran.

However, Qin He didn't pay much attention to this issue.

Everyone has their own secrets, and Qin He's secrets are no small matter either. It's normal for Zhou Ran to be strange. As long as it doesn't involve Qin He, he has no intention of digging too deep.

However, with no progress in martial arts skills, Qin He could only focus his attention on the imagery of martial arts.

As the sharp imagery was nearing a breakthrough, Qin He turned to cultivating the piercing imagery.

Thursday morning, the second round of meditation practice, the piercing imagery breakthrough gradually becomes clear.

Thanks to the harmonious integration of the imagery of slicing and the imagery of sharpness, Qin He's mental strength surged, far exceeding the upper limit of six rounds of meditation practice per day.

Nowadays, Qin He can complete ten rounds of meditation every day.

This doesn't even take into account the costs of virtual battles; if that were included, Qin He's growth would only become more exaggerated.

The prerequisite is that before each night's virtual battle, he must go to a physiotherapy clinic for treatment and relaxation to allow his mind and body to recover.

In this case, by the time the puncture ended on Thursday afternoon, the puncture imagery had successfully broken through the transparency period.

At this rate, it's only a matter of time before the piercing imagery breaks through to a state of perfect harmony.

On Thursday evening, Qin He finished his daily physical therapy and went to the game center to continue his virtual battles, hoping to acquire one or two martial arts skills.

However, before he could enter the virtual reality pod, Zhou Ran suddenly appeared and blocked Qin He's path.

"Qin He, fight me again! Let's fight for real, no fight!"

Zhou Ran couldn't forget losing to Qin He, always feeling that he had lost unfairly.

Therefore, he wanted to fight Qin He again to prove that his strength was not to be underestimated.

"No interest. I'm afraid I won't be able to control my power and might accidentally kill you." Qin He didn't even lift his eyelids, showing absolutely no interest in Zhou Ran's suggestion.

Yesterday, he had only mastered five sword techniques, yet he successfully defeated Zhou Ran.

Now, Qin He's Five Elements Sword Technique has reached perfection, and his strength has surged once again, far surpassing what it was yesterday.

Although Zhou Ran is quite strong, he is no match for him, so there is no point in fighting again.

"My martial arts are quite unique; I can't unleash my full power in a virtual battlefield. Or are you worried about losing to me?"

Zhou Ran was still not giving up and continued to challenge Qin He, even resorting to provocation.

"A clumsy attempt at provocation, but I'll give you this chance to showcase your unique martial arts."

Qin He had a sudden inspiration and changed his mind, agreeing to the offer.

The provocation tactic had no effect on Qin He, but the special martial arts Zhou Ran mentioned reminded Qin He of the mysterious sword technique that he couldn't learn.

Qin He suddenly became interested and wanted to take this opportunity to observe more closely and see if he could learn it.

This matter was thus settled.

Soon, the two arrived at the martial arts arena on the basement floor of the Wanxiang Building.

It's less of a martial arts arena and more like a fighting ring, with professional referees responsible for determining the winner.

Fighting in the arena is a practice from the ancient martial arts era, where grudges are settled through arena battles.

In today's Star Martial Era, with advanced virtual technology, even conflicts are resolved through virtual battles, avoiding the risk of injury or death.

That being said, some life-or-death arenas still remain in each region, especially in remote towns like Jinghu City.

"The rules of the battle are as follows: vital points cannot be attacked; if one side surrenders, the other side may not continue to attack."

'

Although it was a real battle, it was more of a contest of martial arts skills than a life-or-death duel, so they naturally had to stop when they reached a point.

boom!

The fight erupted the moment the referee blew his whistle.

Having experienced the previous virtual battle, Zhou Ran was well aware of Qin He's strength.

So he didn't make any probing moves at all, and holding a strangely shaped black sword, he immediately began to use his mysterious swordsmanship.

In an instant, a violent aura erupted from Zhou Ran's body and instantly merged into the black sword in his hand.

With the blessing of a mysterious sword technique, the black sword underwent a special transformation.

The originally dull black sword now gleamed with a faint sheen, much like the dazzling reflection of a raven's black feathers in the sunlight, yet it was also breathtaking.

The originally violent and disorderly aura instantly became extremely sharp and solid.

Like a rusty sword, once the rust is removed from the surface, its true sharpness is revealed, dazzling and brilliant.

"That feeling is back!"

Qin He's gaze narrowed slightly as he gripped the black gold sword in his hand.

During the last virtual battle, when Zhou Ran used that mysterious sword technique, Qin He felt a faint sense of threat.

He had thought that after perfecting the Five Elements Sword Technique and gaining immense strength, Zhou Ran would pose no threat to him.

Unexpectedly, when Zhou Ran used the mysterious sword technique with the black sword, the sense of threat reappeared, and the sense of danger even intensified.

Qin He immediately realized that the problem lay in the black sword in Zhou Ran's hand.

This may be the reason why he was unable to learn the mysterious sword technique.

But right now, Qin He has no time to think about that problem; his most important task is to find a way to block this attack.

boom!

A powerful sword aura surged from Qin He's body, instantly soaring into the sky.

The power of slicing, sharpness, and piercing was all integrated into the black gold sword.

The next moment, Qin He used the Perfected Five Elements Sword Technique, which, with the support of the three sword intents, transformed into a mighty Five Elements Sword Force, and slashed down at Zhou Ran.

The two powerful sword auras collided and instantly surged outwards, spreading in all directions.

On the referee's stand, the referee, who had been calm and composed, had already changed his expression drastically when the two used their best skills.

Judging from their appearance and demeanor, I initially thought they were ordinary martial arts students, and that this so-called arena battle was nothing more than child's play.

Unexpectedly, the two men were incredibly powerful, each one more so than the last. Their terrifying sword aura even made him feel lingering fear.

If the two swords were allowed to clash, this entire building would probably collapse.

The referee reacted quickly, activating an energy shield to cover the entire arena. Even so, the powerful impact of the sword strikes still caused the ground to shake slightly.

A short while later, when all the smoke had cleared, the situation on the arena was revealed.

Zhou Ran braced himself with his sword, his body swaying slightly, blood dripping from his arm onto the ground.

In contrast, Qin He stood firmly in place, holding the black gold sword, silently gazing at Zhou Ran.

The winner and loser are already obvious.

"You've mastered the Five Elements Sword Technique? How did you do that? You were only at the Great Perfection stage during yesterday's virtual battle."

Zhou Qi's momentum waned, and he looked at Qin He in disbelief.

The reason he insisted on challenging Qin He was not only because he felt that virtual battles did not showcase his true strength, but also because of another very important reason.

That is, Zhou Ran was very clear that Qin He, who had only mastered the Five Elements Sword Technique, could not possibly be his opponent.

Unexpectedly, Qin He mastered the Five Elements Sword Technique to perfection in just one day.

This exaggerated talent in swordsmanship far exceeded Zhou Ran's imagination.

[Sword Heart Emerging (Green): Your sword heart is beginning to emerge, and you are no longer confused about the direction of the sword path; you are less likely to develop inner demons when practicing swordsmanship, and you can learn from failures more quickly.]

A shimmering green light appeared, slowly coalescing into a green text entry.

This surprised Qin He quite a bit. Although Zhou Ran was a genius martial artist, he was just a martial arts student, yet he was able to generate a green entry.

Just how much of a shock did Qin He's performance today leave on him?

As for the new term "Sword Heart Faintly Bright," Qin He glanced at it but didn't pay much attention to it.

It's obvious at a glance that this is a sub-entry of the blue entry 【Sword Heart Clarity】. It probably won't be of much help to Qin He, so just consider it as supplementing the entry library.

"What happened? Why is there a tremor?"

Wei Wenda and Wei Tongzhou rushed over.

The tremor just now alarmed many people, and Wei Wenda, as the general manager of Wanxiang Building in Jinghu City, definitely had to rush over immediately.

Wei Tongzhou came to check on him because he had just returned to Wanxiang Tower and was worried that something unexpected might have happened.

"General Manager, Master Wei, here's what happened..."

'

The referee immediately went to meet them and reported the situation in detail.

"The impact of the shockwave from a fight between two martial arts students? Are you kidding me?"

Wei Wenda stared at the referee speechlessly, wondering if he was drunk.

The commotion we just caused was something that even accomplished martial artists might not possess, let alone martial arts students.

However, when Wei Wenda saw Qin He and Zhou Ran, he was immediately stunned.

He didn't know Zhou Ran, but he knew Qin He very well.

Isn't this his younger brother Qin? Wei Tongzhou's carefully cultivated disciple, who even got to use the VIP card for the physiotherapy center.

Yes, Wei Wenda knew that Qin He frequently visited the physiotherapy clinic.

After all, he was in charge of this branch of the MixC building, and all business in the building had to go through him, so how could he not know about this?

Wei Wenda turned to Wei Tongzhou and said, "Master Wei, I'll leave this to you. I'll go and comfort the frightened guests."

Since Qin He is Wei Tongzhou's man, then let's just leave all the matters here to Wei Tongzhou and handle the consequences of this matter ourselves.

Wei Tongzhou nodded, and Wei Wenda quickly left.

"Wow, Qin He, you've gotten even stronger in just a few days."

Wei Tongzhou looked at Qin He with eyes full of praise, without the slightest hint of blame.

For him, this commotion was nothing; if he hadn't happened to be there, he probably wouldn't have made the special trip.

However, Qin He is considered to be in a class of his own among the martial arts students in Jinghu City. It is unexpected that someone could actually compete with him.

This piqued Wei Tongzhou's interest in Zhou Ran, and he couldn't help but take a second look at him.

With that quick glance, Wei Tongzhou's gaze suddenly fell on the black sword in Zhou Ran's hand. "Kid, that black sword of yours is the Black Fiend Sword, isn't it?"

Black Fiend Sword?

Is this the name of the black sword in Zhou Ran's hand?

Wei Tongzhou actually knows the origin of this black sword. Could it be a star-themed weapon?

Qin He looked thoughtfully at the black sword in Zhou Ran's hand with considerable surprise.

He had already guessed that Zhou Ran's black sword was of extraordinary origin, but now it seems that it may be even more special than he expected.

"Zhou Ran of the One Sword Sect greets Senior. May I ask which sect you belong to?"

Zhou Ran's pupils contracted, his fingers clenched unconsciously, and he stood up, bowing with his hands in a gesture of respect, performing an ancient martial arts salute.

He had intricate connections with ancient martial arts sects, but this was the first time his true nature had been seen through at a glance, so it was no wonder Zhou Ran was a little nervous.

"Don't be nervous. I am a member of the Hidden Sect. I only have some knowledge of ancient martial arts and famous swords. I will not take what belongs to others."

"However, I didn't expect that the current successor of the long-silent One Sword Sect would actually gain the recognition of the Black Fiend Sword. You are quite good."

Wei Tongzhou nodded, showering Zhou Ran with praise.

"Senior, you flatter me. I was merely fortunate enough to gain the Black Fiend Sword's recognition during the pilgrimage of all martial arts masters. I do not deserve your praise."

Although Zhou Ran still didn't know Wei Tongzhou's background, he didn't dare to be as domineering as usual in front of Wei Tongzhou, who saw through him at a glance. He spoke carefully, for fear of causing bad consequences.

Qin He, standing to the side, was completely bewildered.

Black Fiend Sword, One Sword Sect, Hidden Sect Members, Martial Arts Tour...

So much information!

To be honest, after spending so much time with Wei Tongzhou and Xu Yunxiu, he had a vague idea of ​​their backgrounds.

Even before, Qin He had guessed that the two were related to an ancient martial arts sect, and that the sect they belonged to was extraordinary.

After all, when Lin Bao summoned the Ghost God, the soaring sword energy that cut off the Ghost God's descent path must have been inextricably linked to them.

However, the conversation between Wei Tongzhou and Zhou Ran still contained a great deal of information.

What Qin He cared about most was Zhou Ran's mention of the "pilgrimage of the various martial arts factions".

According to Zhou Ran, he obtained his Black Fiend Sword during the Martial Arts Tour.

If Qin He has the opportunity to come into contact with this so-called Martial Arts Tour, would he have a chance to obtain such a special famous sword?

Qin He wasn't sure, but he felt he had a good chance.

Putting everything else aside, Qin He doesn't think he's that bad at swordsmanship, given the swordsmanship talent he's cultivated through various swordsmanship-related terms.

Putting everything else aside, if Zhou Ran can do it, how could Qin He not do it?
