High Martial Arts: Creating a Prodigy Character from Scratch

"10.6% progress. I've practiced the fist technique seven times. It seems that each round of practice for a minor-level fist technique increases the progress by about 1.4%!"

Looking at the situation on the career page, Qin He seemed to be deep in thought, and he made up his mind.

Although the speed of punches increased slightly after the breakthrough in boxing techniques, the increase was not exaggerated, and the training speed was almost the same as that of beginner-level boxing techniques.

If you maintain a high level of training, you can still practice eight rounds of boxing techniques in an afternoon.

However, breakthroughs in boxing skills are not entirely without their benefits.

Qin He looked down at his arms. Compared to before, the number of bloodstains on his arms had decreased significantly, and he no longer felt the pain and fatigue from over-cultivation.

It seems that this breakthrough in boxing skills has further improved Qin He's physique.

Thinking back carefully, the surging blood and qi within my body when I broke through the fist technique just now, as if power was constantly emerging, is the best proof.

Perhaps this is the greatest gain from breaking through the minor level of boxing skills.

After understanding his own progress and taking a short rest, Qin He got up and left the martial arts classroom to have dinner in the cafeteria.

After finishing his homework during evening study, Qin He went to the weapons classroom again to practice swordsmanship.

As of last night, the sword technique progress has exceeded 80%, and the next breakthrough is not far away.

Qin He planned to press on and catch up before the next swordsmanship class, so as to perform another spectacular feat in front of everyone.

As it turns out, Qinhe was indeed able to do that.

After three rounds of intensive sword practice every night, Qin He successfully pushed his sword skills to their limit before the end of Thursday night's practice.

[Sharp Metal Sword Technique: Beginner (81.15%→98.55%)]

With just one more round of sword practice, the Sharp Gold Sword Technique will break through to the minor mastery level.

Qin He was full of anticipation and wanted to see what kind of entries the swordsmanship class students could bring him.

"Speaking of which, I don't seem to have encountered any bottlenecks. Every time I reach a critical point, I can always break through to a higher realm smoothly. Isn't it said that martial artists will encounter bottlenecks in their training?"

Qin He seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Whether it's boxing or swordsmanship, ever since Qin He started practicing martial arts, he has always been able to achieve breakthroughs naturally whenever his strength reaches a certain level.

However, according to what he read in his textbook, martial artists need to repeatedly hone their skills and break through bottlenecks before they can advance to a higher realm.

Qin He had never experienced what it felt like to be stuck at a bottleneck.

"That's normal. The talent of genius martial artists is too high. The small hurdles in the early stages of martial arts training have little impact on you."

"Only when you reach a certain level of cultivation will you feel the existence of a bottleneck."

A familiar voice came from behind him, making Qin He turn around and look at the newcomer with surprise and delight.

"Principal Lu, you're finally back at school! How's things going at Mirror Lake?"

The visitor was none other than Lu Tiankuo.

At this moment, Lu Tiankuo looked exhausted, and even his gray beard was covered with dirt, as if he had just returned from Mirror Lake.

"The area around Mirror Lake is in chaos. It's being corrupted by the aura of a strange god, and ferocious birds with the bloodline of star beasts have appeared. We've even discovered a void rift connecting to another dimension. Don't go there for the time being."

"However, there's no need to worry. Martial arts experts have been dispatched from the main city, and the situation is currently under control, so it won't affect the city center..."

"I came back this time mainly to arrange some school matters. I'll probably have to stay at Mirror Lake for a while. If you need anything, you can contact me through Starlink."

Lu Tiankuo said in a deep voice, revealing a major piece of news.

Starry Sky Beast Bloodline Ferocious Bird, Void Rift, Another Dimension...

It's getting more and more chaotic, and the route around Mirror Lake is becoming increasingly complicated.

Not only have ferocious birds appeared, but even other dimensions have emerged. It's hard to say whether this is a blessing or a curse.

However, Lu Tiankuo also said that the official experts have intervened and the situation is under control, so there shouldn't be any major problems.

"By the way, I submitted a report on Mirror Lake before, and you made a great contribution by discovering the cultists and helping to thwart their conspiracy."

"Therefore, the Education Department has awarded you a merit and decided to reward you with a Third-Class Medal of Valor and 10 Star Dollars. It should arrive in your account in a while, so please remember to check it."

Lu Tiankuo brought up another matter, which provided Qin He with a wealth of information, much to Qin He's delight.

Third Class Medal of Valor!

This is a genuine medal of honor; even soldiers who fight bravely on the battlefield may not necessarily receive such a medal.

Moreover, this is not just an honor, but also a real benefit.

Using the Medal of Honor grants access to some official facilities for free, priority access to transportation, and a discount when purchasing resources.

Compared to that, the reward of 10 star coins seems insignificant.

"Thank you, Principal Lu, but I am unworthy of such a thank you."

Qin He sighed. He didn't seem to have done anything. He only discovered the matter of the Tricksters because they had their eyes on him.

The follow-up matters were handled by Lu Tiankuo and Wei Tongzhou, and had nothing to do with Qin He.

In this respect, Qin He's receipt of the Third-Class Medal of Valor was largely due to Lu Tiankuo sharing some of the credit with him.

"You can't think like that. Even if the cultists didn't target you, they would have targeted others," Lu Tiankuo explained. "You were able to discover it in advance and help the Federation resolve the threat posed by the cultists. This achievement is indelible."

In fact, the extent of Qin He's achievements depends primarily on the threat posed by the heretics.

Judging from the current situation, if the cultists really manage to summon the evil god, the entire Mirror Lake City will be doomed.

In this respect, Qin He saved the lives of everyone in Jinghu City.

Of course, Lu Tiankuo was happy to help Qin He through this matter.

After all, Lu Tiankuo still felt resentful about losing Qin He before, and he wanted to make it up to him through this incident.

"Oh right, this is the tiger muscle oil you asked me to buy before. I've been so busy lately that I almost forgot to give it to you."

As if struck by a thought, Lu Tiankuo took out a black medicine jar and handed it directly to Qin He.

It remains the symbol of Tiger Leaping over the Stream, but it is now the size of a bowl and weighs an astonishing 100 grams.

This is a 100-gram package of Tiger Muscle Oil, which sells for 5 Singapore dollars.

"4.85 Star Coins, right? I'll transfer it to you."

Qin He looked distressed, but still took out his phone and transferred money to Lu Tiankuo.

Compared to market prices, purchasing through the school channel offers a discount of 1500 Star Coins.

That's why Qin He asked Lu Tiankuo to buy it on his behalf.

In fact, Lu Tiankuo originally wanted to give it directly to Qin He, but Qin He insisted on paying for it himself.

After all, discounts and free gifts are two different things and should not be confused.

"By the way, Principal Lu, I haven't had a chance to return your Spirit Vortex Armor to you. Now it's back to its rightful owner."

Qin He remembered something and quickly took out the Spirit Vortex Armor, returning it to Lu Tiankuo with both hands.

Qin He had wanted to return the armor as early as last Sunday, but Lu Tiankuo had not shown up yet, so he had to wait until now.
