High Martial Arts: Creating a Prodigy Character from Scratch

In a short time, Qinhe successfully peeled off the first layer of stone.

During this process, Qin He expended a lot of his imagination and his spirit became somewhat tired. After all, the process of removing waste materials required him to stay focused and could not be careless in the slightest.

Perhaps because he had broken through the realm of perception and his power of imagery had greatly increased, coupled with the support of mental attributes such as [vigorous energy] and [clear mind], Qin He was not too tired.

After a short rest, Qin He picked up his carving knife again and continued practicing processing raw materials.

Although Wei Tongzhou was carving at his workbench, he paid close attention to Qin He, glancing over from time to time.

When he saw Qin He practicing again, he was quite surprised.

As someone who has been through it all, he knows all too well how difficult it is for a sculpture apprentice to get started; sometimes, after practicing once, they have to rest for half a day.

Unexpectedly, Qin He's imagery power was so abundant that he was able to resume practicing after only ten minutes of rest.

With such an exaggerated recovery ability, he became more and more convinced of Qin He's words.

Qin He must be a person with a special spiritual body.

Unfortunately, Jinghu City lacks resources and its imaging equipment is too rudimentary; otherwise, he could have helped Qin He with his examination to see what kind of special constitution he had.

Qin He was unaware of Wei Tongzhou's thoughts, as he was currently focused entirely on practicing his carving.

Layer after layer of stone skin is peeled off, removing the outer waste material, until the inner ore raw material is fully exposed.

After processing a piece of ore, Qin He took a short rest to recover some of his energy before picking up another scrap piece and continuing to practice diligently.

Through constant practice, Qin He's skinning skills improved at a visible rate.

In less than half a day, Qinhe was able to completely peel off the waste material and extract the raw ore.

"You were able to perfectly process the raw ore in just half a day. I'm increasingly convinced you have a talent for carving!"

Wei Tongzhou looked at Qin He incredulously, a hint of shock deep in his eyes.

His talent for sculpting is unparalleled, far surpassing that of ordinary sculptors.

However, when Wei Tongzhou first entered the sculpture industry, it took him five days to perfectly process the raw mineral materials.

Even so, the master craftsman who taught him carving was amazed by him, thinking he was a genius among geniuses and wanted to pass on his life's skills to him.

Unexpectedly, Qin He was even better, managing to achieve this in just half a day.

This talent, this aptitude...

To be honest, Wei Tongzhou was also somewhat tempted.

However, Qin He was the student Xu Yunxiu had chosen first, and as an elder, he felt embarrassed to compete with his junior for a disciple, so he could only suppress the idea for the time being.

However, Wei Tongzhou was unaware that Qin He was able to do this entirely thanks to the help of numerous entries.

In particular, the pupil-type attribute "Eye of Insight" grants him extraordinary observational abilities, enabling him to perfectly sift through waste materials.

But it was precisely this lack of knowledge that changed Wei Tongzhou's opinion of Qin He, making him feel that Qin He was more suitable for the path of a sculptor.

In this situation, a milky white light appeared and quickly condensed into a new white entry.

【Precision (White)】: Your eyesight is excellent, and you can see fine textures and lines. When performing delicate tasks such as carving and painting, you are less likely to make mistakes due to visual fatigue.

【Steady Hands (White)】: Your hands are extremely steady, and they are not easy to shake when carving. The smoothness and precision of the lines are improved, and the success rate of completing fine parts is slightly increased.

"Two new terms have been created!"

Qin He's expression remained calm, but a hint of joy flashed deep in his eyes.

He never expected that practicing carving techniques near Wei Tongzhou would bring such an unexpected surprise.

It enhances eyesight with "precision" and improves wrist stability with "hand steadiness".

Although these two entries are white, they are both good entries, which not only help with carving, but also have a boost effect on combat.

"Now that you've learned how to process raw ore, I'll teach you how to carve rough sculptures."

"I'm just about to make a batch of rough sculptures. Observe carefully and see how I make them."

Wei Tongzhou's voice came through.

Qin He has already mastered the basics of carving, and the next step is to learn how to make rough sculptures. This is his next task, and Qin He can observe from the side.

"Okay, Teacher Wei, I will study hard."

Qin He's expression was serious. He used the attributes [Genius], [Insightful Eye], and [Precision] to make sure he didn't miss a single move by Wei Tongzhou.

"Materials, imagery, and sculpture are compatible; the three should not conflict. Form comes first, followed by meaning."

"If you want to convey the imagery of flowing water, you cannot use molten metal or carve it into a sculpture of flames; otherwise, the form and meaning will clash, and the sculpture will crack..."

As Wei Tongzhou spoke, he slowly carved with his carving knife, and a rough sculpture in the shape of a sword gradually took shape.

This was still the result of Wei Tongzhou intentionally controlling the carving speed, hoping that by slowing down the speed, Qin He could see his movements clearly.

Otherwise, with his carving skills, creating a simple sculpture rough would only take him a short time.

"What symbolic power do you think this figurative sculpture will carry once it is completed?"

Wei Tongzhou suddenly asked a question, wanting to test Qin He's observation skills.

Upon hearing this, Qin He carefully examined the rough sword in his hand, pondered for a moment, and replied, "Teacher Wei is carving a sword sculpture, which should convey the imagery of cutting, tearing, sharpness, or cleaving."

"Good observation. Once completed, this sword carving will embody the image of sharpness."

Wei Tongzhou nodded, quite satisfied with Qin He's answer, and tossed the rough sword blank in his hand to Qin He.

Then, Wei Tongzhou took out a lifelike sword sculpture from the shelf next to the worktable and handed it to Qin He.

"These are the rough and finished versions of a sword sculpture. Here's a task for you: carefully observe the differences between these two sculptures and try to carve a rough version of a sword sculpture."

"When you can make a rough blank that is 90% similar to the original, this task will be considered complete."

Because Qin He's surprise was so great, Wei Tongzhou couldn't help but give Qin He some extra help, setting him up for a special project in the hope that Qin He could continue to surprise him.

Qin He naturally wouldn't refuse, and happily took the two sculptures home from get off work, ready to study them thoroughly that evening.

After returning to his school dormitory and having dinner, Qin He went to the weapons classroom.

However, he was not in a hurry to meditate and cultivate. Instead, he took out the sword sculpture left by Wei Tongzhou and couldn't help but admire it.

He could feel the sharp, symbolic power emanating from the sword sculpture.

This property—which doesn't pursue power and speed, but only extreme sharpness, and can easily cut through other substances—deeply impressed Qin He.

In this situation, the sharp-image sculpture trembles slightly, seemingly generating some kind of resonance.

A sharp and fierce aura erupted from Qin He!

Unintentionally, Qin He seemed to have awakened a second martial arts concept.
