High Martial Arts: Creating a Prodigy Character from Scratch

"The Sharp Metal Sword Technique belongs to the Metal element sword technique, which pursues the ultimate sharpness. The entire sword technique consists of five moves: First Sharpness Revealed, Cutting Iron Like Mud, Golden Armor and Iron Horse, Unstoppable Sharpness, and One Sword to Seal the Throat."

"Now, I will demonstrate the first move, 'The First Glimpse of Sharpness.' The key to this move is to thrust the sword tip straight forward, like a needle against a wheat awn, aiming to defeat the enemy in one strike. The intention is to use skill to overcome strength and sharpness to cut through iron..."

Xu Yunxiu took the long sword from his waist and began to dissect the "Sharp Metal Sword Technique" from beginning to end.

Qin He watched intently, carefully observing Xu Yunxiu's every movement, not even missing any muscle changes.

With the help of keywords such as "genius" and "sword fanatic", Qin He quickly entered a learning state. By the time Xu Yunxiu finished demonstrating a complete set of sword techniques, Qin He had already understood the profound mystery of the "Sharp Metal Sword Technique".

At the same time, the Unreal Engine panel changed.

Name: Qin He

【Occupation: Martial Arts Student (See details)】

[Entry: ......]

[Refining to Immortality: 2]

......

[Occupation: Martial Arts Student]

[Severing the Imagery: Unskilled (4.5%)]

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

[Xingyi Bengquan: Beginner (1.5%)]

[Sharp Metal Sword Technique: Beginner (1.7%)]

As Qin He had predicted, learning sword techniques also grants Refinement Points, as evidenced by the "Sharp Metal Sword Technique" on the profession page.

The only thing that displeased Qin He was that the progress of the Sharp Metal Sword Technique was only 1.7%, which was almost the same as that of the Xingyi Bengquan.

It's important to know that practicing swordsmanship comes with the green attribute "Sword Maniac," so theoretically, the progress in swordsmanship should be much faster.

The only possibility is that the difficulty of cultivating the Sharp Metal Sword Technique is far greater than that of the Five Forms of Xingyi, so even with more additional attributes, the progress of cultivation is not significant.

But that doesn't matter. As long as he has enough entries, his swordsmanship training will naturally progress by leaps and bounds.

"The demonstration of the Sharp Metal Sword Technique is over. Team Jin, go practice your swordsmanship," Xu Yunxiu said, sheathing her sword. She then glanced at the remaining students. "Anyone from the other teams who wants to see me demonstrate my swordsmanship?"

Upon hearing this, the students all turned their heads away, pretending not to have heard.

Although they were eager to see Xu Yunxiu demonstrate, they were even more afraid of the punishment that would follow if she failed to meet the requirements.

After all, their team didn't have a hothead like Qin He who could help them take the blame for offending Xu Yunxiu.

"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and practice your sword." Xu Yunxiu frowned slightly, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing in her eyes.

Compared to the timid and hesitant students, she preferred Qin He, a headstrong young man, because a swordsman should be fearless and forge ahead.

If you don't even dare to challenge yourself, what kind of swordsman are you?

However, Xu Yunxiu also knew that the students were practicing swordsmanship only to prepare for the Starry Sky Exam.

It's unknown how many students will continue practicing martial arts after the major exams, let alone swordsmanship.

So Xu Yunxiu didn't say much. She just treated it as a job. Anyway, Lu Tiankuo paid for it and she did the work. She just had to clock out and that was it.

Qin He ignored external affairs and took up his iron sword to try to cultivate the Sharp Metal Sword Technique.

He carefully recalled Xu Yunxiu's breathing rhythm and muscle changes each time he swung his sword, and tried to practice it. His movements were slow and clumsy, as if he had to pause for a moment after each movement before continuing to practice.

Xu Yunxiu was patrolling the classroom when she inadvertently caught sight of Qin He cultivating, and she was immediately stunned.

She could tell that Qin He was practicing swordsmanship for the first time; his movements were clumsy and slow, riddled with flaws and mistakes.

However, after each pause, Qin He would correct his incorrect movements, and after a round of training, Qin He's movements became more and more standard.

Xu Yunxiu couldn't help but ask, "Did you memorize the entire Sharp Metal Sword Technique I just demonstrated?"

"Yes, Teacher Xu, I have a photographic memory and have memorized the entire Ruijin Sword Technique."

Qin He did not deny it, but did not mention his sword fanaticism attribute. Instead, he claimed that he had a photographic memory and wanted to take the opportunity to establish another persona.

"Lu Tiankuo has a good eye; he didn't misjudge you." Xu Yunxiu said casually with a suspicious look in her eyes, and then fell silent.

Qin He ignored them and focused on continuing to practice the Sharp Metal Sword Technique.

Time flew by, and just as Qin He finished his second round of sword practice and his internal energy was depleted, the school bell rang.

[Sharp Metal Sword Technique: Beginner (1.7% → 4.5%)]

Compared to being personally instructed by Xu Yunxiu, the progress of practicing swordsmanship on one's own is slightly slower, with each round of practice only increasing by about 1.4%.

Furthermore, swordsmanship training takes more time than fist training.

Qin He calculated based on his own cultivation progress that he could only practice the Sharp Metal Sword Technique four times a day at most, even with the help of [Vigorous Energy] to speed up recovery and the use of Blood Activating Powder.

In contrast, with the help of "vigorous energy" and "blood-activating powder," I completed six rounds of martial arts training yesterday afternoon.

In summary, the speed of learning fist techniques is slightly faster than that of learning sword techniques.

However, what Qin He lacks most is time.

Both fist fighting and swordsmanship are martial arts skills. Putting aside the issue of fatigue, if one practices fist fighting on a given day, there will be no time to practice swordsmanship.

After all, every night, besides completing his academic homework, Qin He also had to meditate and cultivate himself.

Even more so, he wanted to take on part-time jobs to earn extra money...

There's not enough time!

If he could, Qin He would love to split himself in two to use.

Just then, a milky white light suddenly appeared before Qin He's eyes, slowly condensing into a white word.

[Photographic Memory (White): Your memory is exceptional. Knowledge and martial arts techniques you've seen can be clearly recalled in your mind, allowing for repeated study and practice afterward.]

A new white entry has been created!

This surprised Qin He. Hadn't Xu Yunxiu not completely believed his words just now? How come her [Making a Pretend Become Real] talent was reacting?

"Your swordsmanship talent is quite good; you can spend more time practicing."

A soft, feminine voice came from behind. Xu Yunxiu had appeared beside Qin He at some point, and there was a hint of admiration in her eyes as she looked at him.

During this swordsmanship class, Xu Yunxiu paid the most attention to Qin He, and saw that Qin He was growing at a visible speed.

This is enough to prove that Qin He's words were true; he does indeed possess the ability to remember everything he sees, which is why the term "photographic memory" came into being.

On the other hand, Xu Yunxiu could see that Qin He had initially mastered the Sharp Metal Sword Technique after two rounds of swordsmanship training.

This talent is quite outstanding even in a 12-star main city of the Wing Guard, making him a promising candidate for sword training.

Xu Yunxiu couldn't help but remind Qin He to practice his sword diligently and go further in the path of swordsmanship.

"This...Teacher Xu, I will spend more time practicing." Qin He was slightly taken aback, then said that he would work hard to improve his swordsmanship.

"Am I wrong? You should be taking the Starry Sky Entrance Exam, right? Do you have a preferred Star Martial Arts University?"

Xu Yunxiu frowned, and with the keen senses of a swordsman, she immediately noticed a hint of hesitation in Qin He's tone, and couldn't help but ask.
