High Martial Arts: Creating a Prodigy Character from Scratch

Qin He had never heard of Wei Tongzhou, but he was familiar with the profession of sculptor.

This is a very special profession.

Martial artists can comprehend imagery either by exploring various secret locations in the starry sky or by observing martial arts pillars and sensing the traces of imagery left on them by senior masters.

However, the Martial Arts Pillars are under the jurisdiction of the Star Martial Federation and are placed in various martial arts high schools as introductory objects for humans embarking on the path of martial arts training. Private ownership is not permitted.

To facilitate the preservation of imagery, martial arts masters developed imagery sculptures, using sculptures to carry their meanings, which indirectly gave rise to the special profession of sculptor.

Due to the uniqueness and scarcity of figurative sculptures, sculptors have become a rare profession, and they are highly sought-after guests by major interstellar conglomerates wherever they go.

When Qin He first learned about the profession of sculptor, he dreamed of becoming one.

However, he had no funds, no connections, and no idea how to become a sculptor, so he gradually gave up on the idea.

Unexpectedly, Xu Yunxiu brought him to a sculptor today; this was truly a wonderful surprise.

On the other hand, Wei Tongzhou and Xu Yunxiu were from the same school, and he still had calluses on his hands from practicing swordsmanship, so he should be a master swordsman.

Xu Yunxiu offered him a high-paying job on the condition that he master a basic level of swordsmanship within half a month.

This gave Qin He an idea.

If you want to become a sculptor, do you need to be a genius swordsman?

If that's the case, wouldn't he have a chance to become a sculptor?

"I heard from Xiaoyunxiu that you've mastered the Sharp Metal Sword Technique to the beginner level in just half a month. Would you mind letting this old man take a look?"

Wei Tongzhou sized up Qin He, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

It wasn't that he didn't trust Xu Yunxiu, but rather that Jinghu City was too small, too small to produce a swordsmanship genius of this caliber.

"Since you have given the order, Qin He dares not disobey. However, it seems there is no place in the workshop to practice my skills."

Qin He never resists showcasing himself, because letting others see his qualifications will make them more confident in investing in him.

However, Wei Tongzhou's workshop, though seemingly large, was piled high with various materials, making it impossible for him to practice the Sharp Metal Sword Technique.

"No need for all that trouble, just draw your sword and slash at me."

Wei Tongzhou's words were astonishing, prompting Qin He to wield his sword and kill him.

It was clear that he didn't take Qin He seriously at all, as if he were toying with a child.

"In that case, please be careful, senior."

Qin He quickly composed himself, his face calm and composed, showing no sign of anger. He immediately drew the iron sword from his waist and concentrated all his power into the tip of the sword.

One sword to the throat!

Qin He used the final move of the Sharp Gold Sword Technique, stabbing at Wei Tongzhou with lightning speed.

"One Sword to the Throat" is the killing move of the Sharp Metal Sword Technique. It concentrates all the power into a single point on the tip of the sword, pursuing the ultimate sharpness. It is known as the sword that can sever all things.

However, the moment the iron sword was thrust out, Qin He tilted his hand slightly, aiming the tip of the sword at Wei Tongzhou's shoulder instead of his throat.

Clang!

The sound of clashing weapons rang out. Wei Tongzhou used his finger as a sword, placing his right index finger on the tip of the iron sword, making Qin He unable to budge it in the slightest, as if facing the majestic Mount Tai.

It was just a single finger, yet it was like a peerless sword, pressing him down completely.

What level of attainment is required to reach this stage?

What kind of imagery is Wei Tongzhou practicing?

Qin He was deeply shocked by the power of a high-level martial artist, which he experienced for the first time.

"As expected, it's an entry-level Sharp Metal Sword Technique, and the imagery you're cultivating is actually a cutting and slicing imagery." Wei Tongzhou was quite surprised, and his gaze towards Qin He was somewhat astonished.

Although Qin He only used one sword strike, he was able to discern Qin He's true strength from that single strike.

He could tell that Qin He had indeed cultivated the Sharp Metal Sword Technique and had already broken through to the entry level, even making some progress, unlike someone who had just broken through.

However, Xu Yunxiu clearly stated that Qin He had only broken through his sword technique yesterday.

Xu Yunxiu had no reason to lie to him; the only possibility was that Qin He was exceptionally talented and had improved his swordsmanship again in a short period of time.

A newcomer who cultivates the essence of swordsmanship and also has talent in sword practice—this is definitely a swordsmanship genius.

I never expected that such a high-level swordsmanship genius could emerge from such a small city as Jinghu.

Could it be that Junior Nephew Xu Yunxiu wanted to take Qin He into his sect, which is why he brought Qin He here specifically to have him take a look?

After all, Professor Xu Yunxiu is not here, so it is only natural to ask him, as an elder, to take the lead.

The more Wei Tongzhou thought about it, the more he felt that he had guessed the truth.

Having figured this out, Wei Tongzhou's gaze towards Qin He softened, becoming as if he were looking at his own nephew.

Qin He keenly noticed this change, but didn't think too much about it, assuming that his aptitude had been recognized by Wei Tongzhou.

"I heard from Xiaoyunxiu that you want to find a part-time job. Are you interested in working as an assistant in my workshop? You don't have to come every day, just come on Saturdays and Sundays to help out. I'll pay you 1 Star Dollars every month."

When Wei Tongzhou brought up the matter of work, since Qin He was his own nephew, the treatment would naturally be good, so he arranged an easy job for him.

"Uncle-Master Wei, doing menial tasks is going too far..."

Qin He has not yet expressed his opinion, but Xu Yunxiu is standing up for Qin He.

She had watched Qin He grow up and knew how amazing his swordsmanship talent was. It would be a waste to make Qin He do menial work.

According to Xu Yunxiu, at the very least, he should become a sculpture apprentice, so as to do justice to Qin He's talent.

However, before Xu Yunxiu could finish speaking, Qin He interrupted her, "Teacher Xu, I'm willing to stay and work in the workshop."

He was very clear-headed and knew he had no bargaining power.

As long as I can stay and get involved in the work of sculptors, I will eventually learn sculpting techniques.

To put it bluntly, what Qin He needs is an opportunity.

Whether the opportunity is big or small is not important.

If one becomes dissatisfied and pushes one's luck, one might end up losing more than one gains.

"Look at Qin He, he's much more sensible than you."

Wei Tongzhou glanced at Qin He, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes, and couldn't help but mention Xu Yunxiu, making her feel quite wronged.

That's how the matter was settled.

"Xiao Wei, come to the workshop and help Qin He with the necessary procedures. He will be in charge of the miscellaneous work in my workshop from now on."

Wei Tongzhou contacted the staff to process Qin He's onboarding procedures.

Soon, a middle-aged man in a suit and tie rushed over, and with a fawning expression, led Qin He to complete the formalities.

"Brother Qin, I am Wei Wenda, the general manager of Jinghu Wanxiang Building. May I ask what your relationship is with Master Wei? This is the first time I've seen Master Wei specifically helping people get jobs?"

During the onboarding process, Wei Wenda looked at Qin He with curiosity, wanting to know what kind of background Qin He had that made Wei Tongzhou value him so much and personally help him get onboarded to Wanxiang Building.
