High Martial Arts: Creating a Prodigy Character from Scratch

The first-year curriculum at Jinghu No.1 High School is divided into three parts.

The first part is the imagery course, which includes meditation practice, observation of martial arts pillars, etc., mainly cultivating the initial form of imagery.

The second part is a martial arts course, where students practice several different styles of boxing and choose one.

The third part consists of cultural courses, including "The Development History of the Star Martial Federation", "The Development History of Imagery Martial Arts", "Basic Operation Theory of Starship Mechs", "Illustrated Guide to Starry Sky Beasts", and "Handbook for Exploring Extraterrestrial Civilizations", etc.

The cultural courses may seem numerous, but they are actually all minor subjects that take up little class time, with only two classes per day.

Because imagery and physical training are the core subjects of martial arts and the focus of the Starry Sky Grand Examination, accounting for more than 70% of the class time.

Ultimately, in this dazzling and vast Star Martial Era, martial arts are the mainstream, and imagery reigns supreme.

However, Qin He did not neglect his academic classes; instead, he listened attentively and even took careful notes.

This is both to maintain the character's persona and to broaden one's knowledge and learn more about Star Warriors, so as not to be completely clueless when encountering enemies.

Time slipped by quietly as the cultural studies teacher narrated the "History of the Star Martial Federation's Development".

As soon as the bell rang to signal the end of get out of class, all the students instantly perked up and rushed to the cafeteria, Qin He included.

"Auntie, please give me a braised duck set meal."

"Hey handsome, you're here to eat again. 10 stars. Swipe your card at the machine in front."

Jinghu duck is the most common edible duck species in Jinghu City. It is gentle in nature and plump in size. It lives on the shore of Jinghu Lake and is said to be a hybrid descendant of some kind of giant star beast.

Qin He didn't know where this unfounded rumor came from, but perhaps it was because of the local thriving livestock industry that the braised duck set meal was the most affordable set meal in the No. 1 Middle School cafeteria.

A 10-star braised duck set meal is enough to fill the stomach of a high school student.

More than 1 Star Coins—that's all his wealth.

Although the Star Martial Federation provides him with a living allowance every year and he has a habit of working part-time while studying, martial arts training is simply too expensive.

The daily food and training equipment alone require a lot of money. Since we really can't save up any money, we can only see how many federal scholarships Principal Lu can apply for.

If the scholarship isn't much, he'll probably have to find another job to earn money.

After swiping his card, Qin He carried his tray to the cafeteria table.

"Qinhe, it's the same braised duck, why is your portion so much bigger?"

Qin He's classmate sat across from him, looking at the significantly larger amount of duck meat on Qin He's plate with a puzzled expression.

"Maybe the cafeteria ladies think I'm handsome."

"Hehe, you might as well say the cafeteria lady has shaky hands."

Qin He remained silent, but what he said was the truth.

The positive favorability boost from the "Handsome" trait is enough to temporarily cure the cafeteria aunt's Parkinson's disease—a true medical miracle.

After quickly finishing his lunch, Qin He didn't take a nap but returned to the classroom to study.

"There's still an hour before class, Qin He, aren't you going to take a break?"

When some students returned to the classroom after lunch and saw Qin He starting to study, they were a little confused.

Not a buddy,

They're only in their first year of high school, is it really necessary to be so strict?

Qin He laughed and said, "I'm in good spirits. I can't sleep at noon, and I get bored if I don't find something to do."

After saying that, Qin He stopped talking and focused on his studies.

During lunch break, most students are in the classroom. How could Qin He miss such a good opportunity to establish his persona?

Just studying during a lunch break was enough to solidify his three character traits: [diligence], [energetic], and [focused].

Of course, it would be even better if one could take the opportunity to establish the "King of Scrolls" persona and generate corresponding keywords.

"He's working so hard! No wonder he can grasp the basic form of an image in a day!"

"No, I can't slack off; I have to use my rest time to study!"

"I hate this kind of 'curly-faced' person the most!"

Some students who were originally planning to rest or play on their phones couldn't help but start studying when they saw Qin He's book review.

Qin He ignored everything else and focused on his studies.

Time slipped away unnoticed, and nothing happened until the lunch break ended. The "[Turning Fake into Reality]" talent showed no reaction, and no new entries were created.

Qin He remained calm and showed no disappointment.

Building a persona is not something that can be done overnight, and it's normal that no relevant entries have been generated yet, since the influence of ordinary students is far less than that of Lu Tiankuo and Lin Bao.

What Qin He needs to do is maintain his public image as much as possible.

Ring ring~

The school bell rang, and Teacher Lin appeared at the classroom door.

"Have you lay down enough? It's time to get up and stretch your muscles. Let's start with standing meditation to warm up!"

The afternoon class was a martial arts lesson, which was still taught by Lin Bao.

After having the students complete the warm-up activities, Lin Bao got down to business.

"You have all practiced the Star Martial Body Forging Technique, and some of you have even practiced it to the point of overflowing with energy, so you have a foundation. I won't go into too much detail, let's just talk about fist techniques."

"The martial arts major at Wudao High School is Xingyiquan. This style of boxing originates from ancient boxing methods and has been deduced and modified by generations of masters of imagery. It is the most suitable basic boxing method for imagery martial arts."

"Xingyi has five fist techniques: Pi (劈), Beng (崩), Zuan (钻), Pao (炮), and Heng (横), corresponding to the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. These techniques resonate with the imagery of the five basic elements. You only need to choose one fist technique to practice..."

"Choose a fist style that matches the elemental pillar you are observing. For example, the Cannon Fist belongs to fire, so students who observe the Fire Martial Arts Pillar are very suitable for practicing the Cannon Fist style..."

Lin Bao's booming voice echoed throughout the martial arts classroom as he detailed the course in fist and foot techniques.

As for the "Star Martial Body Forging Technique" he mentioned, it is a basic body-refining technique issued by the Star Martial Federation. It has the effect of tempering the physical body and refining the qi and blood, and corresponds to the mental "Star Martial Meditation Method".

During his three years of junior high school, Qin He practiced the "Star Martial Body Forging Technique" and the "Star Martial Meditation Method" together, refining his qi, blood, and spirit, until he reached the stage of overflowing essence and qi.

This is also the path that all martial artists of the imagery form have taken.

After explaining the five basic boxing techniques, Lin Bao turned on the projector and played the training methods for the five Xingyi boxing techniques.

Lin Bao was not in a hurry to teach, but simply showed the students videos of Xingyiquan practice.

Based on past experience, students will struggle for several days, and some students will even wait until they have grasped the initial form of the imagery before deciding which martial art to practice.

Qin He focused intently, carefully observing the splitting fist technique, not missing a single detail.

Xingyi Piquan!

This is the boxing style that Qin He is going to practice.

The Pi Quan (劈拳) belongs to the metal element, which aligns with the imagery of metal and has intricate connections with the imagery of swordsmanship. It is undoubtedly the most suitable Xingyi Quan (形意拳) style for Qin He.

Metal generates water, and water nourishes metal; the lungs and kidneys are inherently close.

Split open the volcano to access the alchemical furnace, drill out the kidney water and return to Kunlun.

The chopping fist technique, with its fist falling like an axe, reveals its sharpness and primarily cultivates lung metal.

When mastered, a single punch can be heard with a faint metallic sound as it cuts through the air; it is an offensive style of martial arts.
