High Martial Arts: Creating a Prodigy Character from Scratch

Most of the learning-related entries in Qin He's possession have some special effects.

When observing any sword technique, one can quickly strip away the superficial and get straight to the core: "Sword Mind Clarity".

When observing others demonstrate martial arts techniques, there is a chance to directly learn the basic version of their techniques and automatically integrate them into your own martial arts system, a process known as "integration and mastery."

There are even special entries such as "Grandmaster" and "Insightful Eye" that have similar effects.

This gave Qin He an idea.

Could he use the fight just now to try to dissect and learn the black-haired youth's "Flowing Cloud Sword Technique"?

If Qin He can achieve this, he will never have to worry about learning martial arts again.

To be precise, the idea came to Qin He the moment he first heard Xu Yunxiu mention the game "Star Path".

Now is the time for him to verify his conjecture.

So Qin He ignored the game matchmaking and stayed in his personal center trying to dismantle the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique.

"The sword moves like flowing clouds, unpredictable and ever-changing, flowing smoothly and continuously... This is the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique!"

With the blessing of attributes such as "Sword Heart Clarity" and "Comprehensive Understanding," Qin He wielded his longsword as he recalled the past.

Qin He's movements became increasingly fluid, and the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique gradually took shape in his hands.

Until a certain moment, Qin He successfully used the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique.

At this moment, the virtual panel changed.

【Flowing Cloud Sword Technique: Beginner (18%)】

[Refining to Immortality: 1]

"Hahaha, I did it!"

"Learning martial arts through combat is indeed a viable method!"

Qin He's eyes lit up as he gripped the standard-issue longsword tightly in his hand. He couldn't contain his excitement and burst into laughter.

He was so excited!

After this period of understanding, Qin He now knows that martial arts inheritance is mostly found in martial arts universities, and it is difficult for martial arts students to obtain martial arts skills through conventional channels.

The twenty martial arts techniques taught at the martial arts high school are basically the upper limit of what you can learn in three years of high school.

He originally thought that learning martial arts skills would be very troublesome, but unexpectedly, with the support of many learning-related terms, he was able to learn martial arts skills through combat.

In this way, he would no longer be restricted by the Refinement Points and could grow rapidly. How could Qin He not be overjoyed?

After taking a while to calm his excitement, Qin He clicked to match the game and started the second virtual battle.

kill!

Upon entering the battlefield, the flashing of blades greeted them.

The opponent acted decisively, without any unnecessary words, and immediately struck with a knife.

The blade's movements were like vines, layer upon layer, making Qin He feel as if he were trapped in a thicket of thorns.

Qin He could tell at a glance that the opponent was using the Green Vine Blade Technique, one of the basic Five Elements Blade Techniques, and that the level of cultivation was not low, at least at the Great Completion level, with the initial signs of winding and flexible power.

Unfortunately, the flexible and spreading entanglement power had no effect whatsoever in the face of Qin He's cutting intent.

Qin He swept his sword across, and the blade's momentum, which was wrapped in vines, shattered instantly.

After several exchanges, Qin He forcefully defeated his opponent, successfully winning the virtual battle.

[Congratulations, Emperor Qin! You have successfully defeated your opponent, 'Flowing Clouds and Smooth Water,' and you have been promoted to Star-level 2.]

[Start the next match?]

"Activate".

Unlike the previous battle, Qin He did not rest and immediately started the next match.

On one hand, their attributes were mutually restraining. Qin He's advanced-level Sharp Metal Sword Technique perfectly countered the opponent's advanced-level Green Vine Saber Technique. This battle was almost a one-sided affair, requiring very little effort.

On the other hand, Qin He had already learned the basic Green Vine Knife Technique, one of the five basic knife techniques, so he couldn't obtain any Refinement Points and there was no need for him to stop.

In the time that followed, Qin He continued to engage in combat, honing his practical skills while searching for martial arts techniques he had not yet learned.

After winning five battles in a row, Qin He encountered a tough opponent in the sixth battle.

This is a middle-aged man in a game called "Mountains and Rivers as Wine," wielding a bronze axe and wielding the Mountain Axe Technique with unparalleled skill.

In addition, he cultivates the heavy imagery of earth, so every move he makes is like a mountain crashing down, causing the ground to tremble.

Most importantly, the imagery of "Mountains and Rivers as Wine" is powerful, indicating a martial artist at least at the Harmony stage, only one step away from the next major realm. It is something Qin He simply cannot withstand.

"This matchmaking system is toxic! I'm just a beginner-level martial artist, and my opponent is a master-level martial artist!"

Qin He was speechless, feeling that "Star Journey" was targeting him; otherwise, how could he possibly encounter such a formidable opponent?

"You're obviously a newbie. The matchmaking system in 'Star Path' doesn't consider your skill level, but rather your win rate."

"You must have won several matches in a row. The system thinks your strength has reached a certain level, so it has proactively matched you with higher-level opponents."

"Conversely, if you lose a lot of games in a row, you may also encounter weaker opponents, just like me. I encountered several freaks in a row, and finally I encountered a low-skill game."

Shanhe Zuojiu laughed heartily, launching an attack on Qinhe while explaining things to him.

"You think I'm easy to manipulate? Well, let's see what you're capable of."

Qin He snorted coldly. Even though he had been tricked by the system, he had no intention of admitting defeat.

The courage to face a powerful enemy is a fundamental quality of a martial artist.

When faced with Lin Bao's conspiracy, Qin He dared to use himself as bait to lure out Lin Bao's scheme.

Now, facing an opponent far stronger than himself, Qin He showed no fear; on the contrary, he was eager to try.

He really wanted to see where his limits were.

Clang!

One sword to the throat!

Without a word, Qin He mobilized all the power of his cutting intent, concentrating it all into the longsword in his hand, and launched an attack on Shanhe Zuojiu.

"A pointless struggle; the gap in understanding cannot be bridged by willpower alone."

Shanhe Zuojiu laughed loudly, and wielded a bronze axe to chop at the Qin River.

The battle broke out again.

Qin He fought with all his might, frantically squeezing out his strength with every move, even abandoning all defense, only seeking to injure his opponent.

The more they fought, the more alarmed they became.

Despite having a clear advantage, he couldn't gain much advantage against Qin He's aggressive playing style.

Even more so, Qin He fought more fiercely, and his strength seemed to have increased.

This is the effect of the terms "Grandmaster" and "Hidden Dragon". When he is in a weak position and facing a strong enemy, he can not only unleash his potential, but also increase his combat power in the opposite direction.

In this situation, Qin He even managed to injure Shanhe Zuojiu, successfully leaving a sword wound on his shoulder.

"Don't be so arrogant! The land is shattered, break it!"

Enraged, Shanhe Zuojiu unleashed the strongest move of the Mountain Axe Technique, cleaving towards Qinhe with unstoppable force.

Faced with this deadly move, Qin He had no choice but to frantically mobilize all his strength and thrust directly at his opponent.

With a deafening roar, the battle reached its final moment.
