High Martial Arts: Creating a Prodigy Character from Scratch

[Clear Mind (Green): Your mind is clear as a mirror, undisturbed by distracting thoughts. Entering a meditative state requires almost no transition time, meditation efficiency is increased by 40%, and mental energy recovery speed is greatly enhanced. When breaking through mental bottlenecks, the probability of sudden enlightenment is significantly increased.]

"A clear mind and enhanced meditation efficiency and mental recovery speed—this is a good effect, but why is it a green attribute?"

Qin He was delighted to see the new entry created, but a hint of doubt flashed in the depths of his eyes.

He had high expectations for Wei Tongzhou, always feeling that he could bring unexpected surprises.

Unexpectedly, the new term that Wei Tongzhou brought was only a green term.

It's unclear whether Wei Tongzhou didn't fully believe in Qin He's talent, or whether he was simply more knowledgeable, but Qin He's breakthrough to the realm of perception in just over a month failed to deliver a sufficiently strong shock to him.

"However, being able to awaken an attribute is ultimately a good thing. At worst, I can just go through a few more refinement sessions and eventually raise the attribute's level!"

Qin He had a good attitude and quickly regained his composure, without feeling disappointed.

Speaking of refining immortality, after this period of accumulation, Qin He's vocabulary database has accumulated another 18 entries, far exceeding the previous number of entries.

It seems he'll have to find a way to obtain Refinement Points, complete more Refinement processes, and streamline and improve the dictionary.

In this way, Qin He will have to learn martial arts imagery or martial arts techniques again.

"Qin He, use the power of the Severing Imagery to try to cut this jade stone."

Wei Tongzhou's voice brought Qin He back to reality.

He brought over a palm-sized piece of jade, seemingly wanting to test Qin He's newly formed martial arts concept.

The imagery of slicing is one of the most unique among the weak imagery of swords and blades, possessing the imagery effect of splitting an object in two.

It's perfectly normal for Wei Tongzhou to be curious.

"Yes, Senior Wei, but my sword was shattered by the cultists, so I haven't bought a new weapon yet."

Qin He agreed, wanting to try out the effect of cutting through the imagery.

The rudimentary form of martial arts imagery has not yet truly taken shape, so novice martial artists cannot use the power of imagery. Only martial artists who have reached the realm of perception can truly utilize the power of martial arts imagery.

This is also why the situation was one-sided when Qin He fought Lin Bao.

Whether or not one can use martial arts imagery is a huge watershed moment for martial artists.

Now, Qin He's slashing imagery has finally taken shape, and he wants to see the effect of his martial arts imagery.

But as soon as he spoke, Qin He remembered that his iron sword had been shattered by Lin Bao, and an embarrassed look appeared on his face.

"This is a spare carving knife from the workshop; you can use this for now."

Wei Tongzhou thought for a moment, then took out a uniquely designed knife and asked Qin He to use it temporarily.

This is a carving knife about the size of a palm, approximately 20 centimeters long. The handle is made of sandalwood, and the blade is shaped like a crescent moon, gleaming with a cold light. It looks quite formidable.

Qin He took the carving knife, which felt heavy. After familiarizing himself with it for a while, he swung the knife and began to chop at the jade.

With a clang, as if striking hard metal, a barely perceptible white mark was left.

"This jade is incredibly hard; its hardness is probably even more extreme than that of metal!"

Feeling the slight vibration from the handle of the knife, Qin He seemed to be deep in thought, having some understanding of the hardness of jade.

"This is a special jade ore produced in a secret place in the starry sky. It is not only extremely hard, but also has the effect of absorbing energy."

"Without using the power of imagery and martial arts, it is very difficult to break through this special jade ore."

Wei Tongzhou's voice came, telling Qin He to stop wasting his energy and directly use the cutting intent, which was his only way to possibly break the jade.

"Okay, Senior Wei, I'll give it a try."

Qin He nodded, attempting to mobilize the power of his cutting intent, while simultaneously adopting the starting stance of the Sharp Metal Sword Technique.

The power of the cutting imagery flowed along the meridians and slowly gathered on the carving knife in Qin He's right hand.

One sword to the throat!

Qin He used the knife as a sword, concentrating all his power at the tip of the blade, and suddenly unleashed it, stabbing towards the jade stone in front of him.

With a snap, the jade ore, which was originally undamaged, was easily pierced through by the cutting force, like a hot knife hitting butter.

The jade ore split in two, leaving a smooth, mirror-like cut.

one move!

Qinhe cut the jade ore in two!

This is the effect of severing the image, and it is also the reason why image warriors are so powerful.

Qin He was certain that if he were to encounter Lin Bao now, he would not be as helpless as he was back then.

"It actually cut through! The imagery of slicing and cutting is indeed a perfect match for the Sharp Metal Sword Technique."

Seeing this, Wei Tongzhou couldn't help but sigh, "Qin He, do you know why Xiao Yunxiu introduced you to my side?"

"Is it because I have a decent talent for martial arts, or perhaps I have the potential to become a sculptor?"

Qin He was slightly taken aback, wondering why Wei Tongzhou had suddenly brought this up, but he still spoke according to his own thoughts.

If it were just about finding a job, Xu Yunxiu wouldn't have gone to such lengths to specifically introduce him to Wei Tongzhou.

The only possible reason is that Xu Yunxiu thought he had the potential to become a sculptor and wanted him to give it a try.

On the other hand, Wei Tongzhou suddenly exclaimed that the imagery of slashing and cutting was very compatible with the Sharp Metal Sword Technique.

Qin He couldn’t help but wonder, could it be that mastering the imagery of slicing and the sharp metal sword technique is a prerequisite for becoming a sculptor?

"Xiao Yunxiu always praises you for being smart. There are two basic requirements to becoming a sculptor: one is carving, and the other is conveying meaning."

"The raw materials that can be carved into figurative sculptures are mostly various special minerals, which are extremely difficult to carve, and not all martial artists can do this."

"Your situation is very special. Normally, a martial artist who is at the realm of perception could not become a sculptor, but the sharpness of the Sharp Metal Sword Technique and the cutting effect of the imagery it creates give you the ability to process some mineral materials."

"In this respect, you already possess the prerequisites to become a sculptor, so I would like to ask you, would you be willing to become a sculpture apprentice in my workshop?"

Wei Tongzhou slowly began to recount the details of the sculptor's work.

In some respects, if Qin He hadn't awakened the Severing Intent and cultivated the Sharp Metal Sword Technique, Xu Yunxiu would never have introduced Qin He to Wei Tongzhou.

After getting to know him for a while, Wei Tongzhou had to admit that his nephew did indeed have a good eye, able to find a true gem in the vast sea of ​​people.

Most importantly, Qin He's talent for martial arts is astonishing.

Located in the resource-poor city of Jinghu, he was able to successfully master the art of slicing and cutting in just over a month with almost no external assistance.

This is undoubtedly the sign of a hidden dragon. If given enough opportunities to grow, he will surely become a martial arts master.

For this reason, Wei Tongzhou couldn't help but have the idea of ​​taking Qin He on as a sculpture apprentice.
