High Martial Arts: Creating a Prodigy Character from Scratch

After having dinner in the cafeteria and resting for a while, I went to the classroom to complete my academic homework.

After finishing these matters, Qin He took out his phone, opened Xingxin (a messaging app), and checked the information on the five sword techniques sent by Xu Yunxiu.

The "Sharp Metal Sword Technique" belongs to the metal element, and its core concept is: the sword is like metal and stone, with its sharpness fully revealed.

This sword technique draws inspiration from the sharpness and hardness of metal. Each strike pursues ultimate sharpness, not great power or speed, but only sharpness. When mastered, it can cut through anything and destroy everything.

The "Green Wood Sword Technique" belongs to the element of wood, and its core concept is: the sword is like green wood, ever-renewing.

This sword technique draws inspiration from the growth and continuity of plants. The sword strikes are like vines entwining and forests stretching endlessly. It does not seek to kill with a single blow, but rather to trap the opponent in an endless web of swords, as if trapped in a primeval jungle, surrounded by danger from all sides, with no way out.

The "Flowing Water Swordplay" belongs to the water element, and its core concept is: the sword moves like flowing water, continuously and without end.

This sword technique draws inspiration from the suppleness and enduring nature of water. The sword movements flow like clouds and water, one move after another, continuous and unbroken. When mastered, the sword movements become like a great river, and once an opponent is caught in it, they are like a drowning person, unable to escape.

The "Blazing Sword Technique" belongs to the fire element, and its core concept is: the sword is like a blazing fire, burning everything.

This sword technique draws inspiration from the explosive and destructive power of fire. Its swordplay is fierce and unparalleled, with each strike like a raging fire, unstoppable. When mastered, even before the sword is drawn, the intense sword intent alone can instill fear in the opponent.

The Chongyuan Sword Technique belongs to the Earth element, and its core concept is: the sword is like a mountain, unshakeable.

This sword technique is derived from the weight and stability of the earth. Each strike is powerful and heavy, not seeking speed or skill, but rather stability. When mastered, the sword's momentum is as continuous as the earth, overwhelming the opponent and making it hard to breathe.

"As expected of the Five Elements Sword Technique, which was deduced and modified by the Star Martial Federation, it is truly extraordinary!"

Having learned about the five basic sword techniques, Qin He couldn't help but sigh.

It can only be said that this is a masterpiece created with painstaking effort by the predecessors of martial arts. Just by looking at the introduction of the five sword techniques, one can feel their excellence.

However, what Qin He needs to consider now is which sword technique he should choose.

"The Metal-based 'Sharp Metal Sword Technique' should be the most suitable for me!"

Although Xu Yunxiu said that the imagery of slashing and cutting is highly compatible and can find a point of fit for any sword technique, Qin He's main martial arts are biased towards the imagery of metal.

In particular, Xingyi Piquan is an absolute metal-based fist technique, and practicing Ruijin Jianfa should produce a complementary effect.

Furthermore, the Sharp Gold Sword Technique pursues the ultimate sharpness; when mastered to its highest level, it can cut through anything and destroy everything, which also deeply resonated with Qin He.

Perhaps in his heart, the ultimate purpose of practicing swordsmanship was to cut off all enemies.

"If possible, I should master all five sword techniques!"

Qin He murmured to himself, revealing his true thoughts.

To be honest, although the "Sharp Gold Sword Technique" is his first choice, it doesn't mean he wants to give up other sword techniques.

Based on his experience with Xingyi Five Fists, if he wasn't mistaken, he could gain at least 1 Refinement Point for each sword technique he learned.

Given the chance, he would definitely want to master all five basic elemental sword techniques.

"I think I'm overthinking it. I want to know everything before I've even learned it. I'll see how difficult the sword technique is tomorrow afternoon."

Qin He sighed inwardly, realizing he had been overthinking things.

Eat one bite at a time, walk one step at a time. Let's wait until we learn the "Sharp Metal Sword Technique" before considering other sword techniques.

Qin He suppressed his distracting thoughts, packed his personal belongings, left the evening study room, and went to the martial arts classroom instead.

I opened the classroom door, touched the wall to turn on the light, and the light illuminated every corner.

The martial arts classroom, which was bustling and crowded during the day, was now empty except for Qin He.

Qin He changed into his martial arts uniform and prepared to meditate and cultivate.

Thanks to the rapid recovery of the "High Energy" attribute, the mental energy that was depleted from observing the Martial Arts Pillar this morning has now been fully restored.

He certainly couldn't miss out on having twice the amount of time to cultivate.

Qin He closed his eyes tightly, concentrating his mind on practicing the "Star Martial Meditation Method," using his mental power to depict the initial form of the image and condense its power.

The Martial Arts Pavilion closes at night, so there's no way to observe the Martial Arts Pillars; one can only meditate and cultivate.

......

Downstairs in the teaching building, Lu Tiankuo patrolled the school, checking for any forgetful students and thieves.

Suddenly, Lu Tiankuo noticed that a martial arts classroom was still lit up.

"That classroom... I think it's Class 1 of Grade 11, they forgot to turn off the lights."

Lu Tiankuo shook his head, thinking that he should issue a public reprimand to Class 1 of Grade 1 tomorrow.

As Lu Tiankuo strolled into the martial arts classroom, just as he was about to turn off the lights, he suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure.

"Qin He... is he still cultivating at this hour? Does he have a death wish?"

Upon seeing Qin He's appearance, Lu Tiankuo immediately knew that Qin He was meditating and cultivating, and his expression turned grim.

Martial arts training emphasizes a balance of relaxation and tension. In particular, the cultivation of mental imagery involves mental strength. If one is not careful, one will suffer mental damage or even endanger one's life.

He knew Qin He was diligent, but he had already practiced during the day, and then he meditated and practiced again at night. Wasn't he just playing with his life?

Lu Tiankuo was furious, but he dared not interrupt Qin He's meditation. Abruptly interrupting his cultivation could very well lead to him going into a state of demonic possession.

Lu Tiankuo could only silently wait and watch until Qin He finished his meditation before making a move.

Qin He was unaware of what was happening in the outside world, and devoted all his attention to meditation and cultivation.

An hour later, Qin He exhausted his mental energy before exiting the meditative state and ending his evening cultivation.

[Occupation: Martial Arts Student]

[Severing the Imagery: Not Yet an Expert (2.2% → 3.2%)]

[Xingyi Piquan: Not yet a beginner (23.75%)]

[Xingyi Bengquan: Beginner (1.5%)]

With the support of attributes such as "genius" and "sword fanatic", the progress of the initial form of the slashing image has increased to 3.2%.

In total, tonight's meditation practice only improved my performance by 1%, which is far less effective than the practice during the day.

This was an expected result. Compared to meditation, observing the Martial Arts Pillar has a greater impact on the initial form of the image.

However, Qin He was already very satisfied with this result.

If he continues cultivating at this pace, he will definitely be able to complete the cultivation of the rudimentary form of the Severing Image within two months.

This is an incredibly fast cultivation speed!

What was originally a plan that would have taken nearly three years to complete has now been shortened to two months, a speed that can only be described as incredible.

Qin He suddenly felt that his image as a genius was becoming more and more solidified.

Qin He opened his eyes with satisfaction, and a thin figure with a gray beard came into view.

"Principal Lu, what brings you here?"

"Qin He, it's good to work hard in your cultivation, but you've already cultivated during the day, so how can you cultivate again at night?"

Lu Tiankuo suppressed his anger and spoke in a calm tone as much as possible.

He had been through that age himself and understood the thoughts of young people very well. He was worried that being too harsh in his tone would backfire and provoke Qin He's rebellious nature.
