High Martial Arts: Creating a Prodigy Character from Scratch

"It seems that after breaking through in swordsmanship, the cultivation speed won't decrease too much!"

Qin He smiled, clearly in a much better mood.

I originally thought that after my swordsmanship breakthrough, my growth rate would decrease by half.

However, due to the breakthrough in swordsmanship, the speed of sword practice increases, and the two cancel each other out, so the cultivation speed will not decrease too much.

Qin He roughly calculated that his current cultivation speed was about 70% of what it used to be, which was barely acceptable.

Of course, to maintain this speed, medications such as blood-activating powder and tiger muscle oil must be kept in constant supply.

This is also why martial arts training is expensive; the more advanced a martial artist becomes, the more both the quantity and quality of medicines they consume will inevitably increase.

Fortunately, with the 12 yuan scholarship in hand, Qin He is not short of funds for martial arts training and need not worry about this matter in the short term.

As Qin He regained some strength and prepared to leave the weapons classroom, Xu Yunxiu's voice came, "Qin He, tomorrow at two o'clock in the afternoon, I'll take you somewhere."

"I remembered Teacher Xu at two o'clock in the afternoon." Qin He quickly realized that he had remembered.

If he's not mistaken, this must be related to a high-paying job, and he certainly won't be absent.

After having dinner at the cafeteria and completing his academic homework in the classroom, Qin He returned to the martial arts classroom with his iron sword.

However, Qin He did not rush to start his evening cultivation. Instead, he opened the virtual panel to take a look.

Name: Qin He

【Occupation: Martial Arts Student (See details)】

[Entries: Genius (Green), Sword Fanatic (Green), Energetic (Green), Natural Sword Sense (Green), Intelligent (White), Focused (White), Handsome (White), Humble (White), Grateful (White), Photographic Memory (White), Psychic (White), Diligent (White), Self-Disciplined (White), Big Eater (White)]

[Refining to Immortality: 5]

During the last refinement, Qin He transformed six white entries into two green entries.

After this period of character development, Qin He has accumulated another batch of keywords, a total of 14, including 4 green keywords and 10 white keywords.

As his swordsmanship improved, Qin He's cultivation speed slowed down, so he planned to start his second refinement to see if he could synthesize better entries.

"Five points in Refinement should be enough for one Green Refinement attempt."

Qin He murmured to himself, pondering the things he had failed to do back then.

Most importantly, he happens to have several green attributes suitable for refining immortality.

Thinking about this, Qin He couldn't help but give it a try.

Click!

A faint cracking sound came as the two entries, "Sword Maniac" and "Innate Sword Sense," shattered, turning into specks of light that mixed into a ball of luminous green light.

The cultivation process begins!

For this green refinement, Qin He selected the green keywords: "Sword Maniac" and "Innate Sword Sense".

He had previously planned to cultivate the true [Genius] and [Sword Maniac] skills, but since the birth of [Innate Sword Sense], Qin He changed his mind.

No matter how you look at it, the terms "Sword Maniac" and "Innate Sword Sense," which belong to the same category of swordsmanship, are clearly more suitable for refining true essence.

The emerald green light clusters changed unpredictably, sometimes expanding and sometimes contracting, without any discernible pattern.

At a certain moment, a bright blue light emerged from the emerald green light cluster, dazzling and radiant, quickly covering all the green light and transforming it into a bright blue light cluster.

The blue entry has officially been created!

[Innate Sword Sense (Green)] + [Sword Obsession (Green)] = [Sword Mind Clarity (Blue)]

[Sword Heart Clarity (Blue): Your heart and sword have begun to unite, and you no longer need to consciously think about how to strike; the sword moves with your heart, and you can sense the point of impact the moment your opponent's sword begins to strike; when observing any sword technique, you can quickly strip away the surface and get straight to the core, increasing your learning efficiency by 60%; in battle, you can intuitively perceive the "end point" of your opponent's sword path, and when facing unfamiliar sword moves, your body can quickly find a way to counter them.]

Green alchemy successfully completed!

"With mind and sword in perfect harmony, one can perceive the path of the sword and comprehend its essence. As expected of a blue-level attribute, the effect of 'Sword Heart Clarity' is truly astonishing!"

Qin He carefully examined the effects of the "Sword Heart Clarity" skill, his smile barely concealed.

The reason is simple: the effect of this blue entry is amazing, far surpassing anything seen in previous entries.

Using this term will definitely help Qin He improve his swordsmanship, and may even bring unexpected results.

The more Qin He studied it, the more he liked [Sword Heart Clarity], and he was eager to try out the effects of the blue attribute.

But before that, there was one more thing he had to do.

[Refining to Immortality: 2]

"A single green-level refinement consumes 3 refinement points, so it seems impossible to perform a second green-level refinement."

Qin He glanced at the Refinement System and planned how to use the Refinement Points.

In this way, the remaining Refinement Points can only be used for White Refinement.

Based on the previous experience, 2 points of True Refinement are just enough to complete two White True Refinement sessions, which will help him digest some of the White Attributes.

With this in mind, Qin He checked the entry list, pondering which white entries were more suitable for white-level refinement.

Qin He quickly made a decision and began his second True Refinement session that night.

With a snap, [Intelligence], [Focus], and [Photographic Memory] shattered into countless pieces, turning into specks of firefly light, and began the White Refining Process.

These three terms are a bit special, as they are all learning-related terms, so their relevance should be quite high. This is also why Qin He chose them, hoping to get a pleasant surprise.

In less than a few seconds, a shimmering green light appeared, and a new green entry was born.

[Intelligence (White)] + [Focus (White)] + [Photographic Memory (White)] = [Insightful Eyes (Green)]

[Insightful Eye (Green): You possess extraordinary observation and memory abilities, increasing learning efficiency by 40%; you can clearly remember the trajectory and rhythm of your opponent's moves, quickly analyze and dissect them in your mind, and find the patterns and weaknesses in their moves; when facing the same opponent, the probability of seeing through their moves increases over time, and you can predict their next move.]

"These three white entries can actually be refined into pupil-type entries. It seems that this refinement is based on [Photographic Memory] as the core of the refinement."

"Enhancing learning ability, predicting enemy movements, and identifying enemy weaknesses—this effect is almost comparable to the blue-level attributes."

Qin He studied the effects of the new entry, becoming more and more satisfied with the results.

In some respects, the "Eye of Insight" affix covers both learning and combat, making it more practical than other green affixes and likely to be of considerable help to Qin He.

After a short while, Qin He put the matter aside and returned his gaze to the entry section.

After two attempts at refining his true essence, he still had one refining point left and wanted to see if the remaining white entries were suitable for refining his true essence.

However, after some research, Qin He couldn't find any suitable terms for refining immortality, or perhaps there weren't enough terms of the same type.

Having found nothing, Qin He had no choice but to give up for the time being and wait until he had accumulated more entries before attempting to refine them.
