High Martial Arts: Creating a Prodigy Character from Scratch

[Sharp Metal Sword Technique: Mastery (64.24%→95.44%)]

After a frantic afternoon of training, Qin He successfully raised the Sharp Metal Sword Technique to 95.44%, which brought the training to a temporary halt.

On Tuesday evening, Qin He focused on practicing his fist techniques, preparing to improve his Xingyi Piquan (形意劈拳) skills before beginning the training of the other four basic sword techniques.

However, before that, the daily meditation practice still needs to be completed.

After obtaining the "Full of Spirit" attribute, Qin He's mental limit has increased, and he can now stably complete five rounds of meditation practice every day.

Apart from the time he spent cultivating the rudimentary form of the sharp image during his lunch break, Qin He devoted the rest of his time to cultivating the image of slashing.

Now that the imagery of "cutting through" has broken through to the "gradual enlightenment" stage, Qin He also wants to see how the imagery of the "gradual enlightenment" stage is developing.

[Cutting Down Imagery: Gradual Clarity of Feelings (0.33%→3.53%)]

Forty minutes later, Qin He finished a round of meditation practice, and his progress in cutting through the imagery improved.

"A 3.53% progress rate translates to approximately a 3.2% increase, which is surprisingly two-thirds of the initial stage!"

After some calculations and comparing them with the initial stage of meditation practice, Qin He came to a startling conclusion.

Having cultivated the art of imagery martial arts for so long, Qin He has also summarized some patterns.

Each time you break through a realm, the progress increase of your mental power and martial arts skills will be reduced by about half due to the increased difficulty of cultivation.

This growth rate may fluctuate slightly, but it is generally the same.

Unexpectedly, when the concept of cutting through the enemy broke through from the initial stage to the gradually clear stage, the increase in cultivation did not halve, but only decreased by about one-third.

"Could it be because the initial glimpse and gradual understanding stages both belong to the realm of perception, and while the difficulty of cultivating these smaller realms does increase, it shouldn't be that drastic!"

Qin He seemed to be deep in thought, and a conjecture came to mind.

However, he wasn't a research-oriented martial artist and didn't have that much curiosity. He only knew that this wasn't a bad thing for him; it was enough that it would reduce his cultivation time.

Qin He calmed his mind, stopped daydreaming, and began to practice Xingyi Piquan (a type of Chinese martial arts).

Wednesday morning was the Imagery class, and due to Qin He's special circumstances, he practiced alone in an empty classroom.

In a way, Qin He also has an independent training room, which is a great privilege.

Thanks to this, Qin He could cultivate at will without having to worry about the course schedule.

After completing his regular meditation practice, Qin He devoted the rest of his time to practicing martial arts.

After continuous high-intensity training, Qin He successfully improved his Xingyi Piquan (形意劈拳) training progress after the fifth round of boxing practice on Wednesday afternoon.

[Xingyi Piquan: Mastery (50.65%→98.25%)]

"Progress 98.25%. One more round of fist technique training should be enough to break through to perfection."

Even so, Qin He stopped there, not intending to continue practicing Xingyi Piquan, just like he did with Ruijin Sword Technique yesterday.

Every breakthrough is an opportunity to shine in front of others, and Qin He is unwilling to waste it.

Since there's no opportunity for him to achieve a breakthrough at school, he can simply wait for another chance.

The main reason is that Qin He still has four basic fist techniques and four basic sword techniques to practice. His training schedule is already full, and he will not stop progressing because he has not made a breakthrough.

If it were true that one couldn't cultivate without a breakthrough, Qin He wouldn't just wait idly and waste his time.

After all, for him, martial arts growth is the most important thing, and missing one opportunity to show off his skills in front of others is not a big deal.

After taking a drop of deer marrow liquid and recovering slightly, Qin He held the black gold sword and prepared to formally practice the second sword technique.

The five elements generate each other, with earth generating metal. Qin He is preparing to practice the Chongyuan Sword Technique.

As an earth-elemental sword technique, Chongyuan Swordplay advocates that the sword should be as solid and stable as a mountain or the earth, emphasizing powerful and heavy momentum.

The Chongyuan Sword Technique has five moves: Rooted to the Ground, Mountain Shift, Earth Sinks, Immovable as a Mountain, and Leaping with Immense Force.

Earlier, in order to obtain Refinement Points, Qin He had already learned the Chongyuan Sword Technique to a basic level, and was quite familiar with its core concepts and related moves.

What he needs to do is practice the Chongyuan Sword Technique again and again, and master this earth-element sword technique.

With this in mind, Qin He gripped the black gold sword and began to cultivate.

[Chongyuan Sword Technique: Not yet mastered (6.4% → 27.2%)]

After one round of training, the progress of Chongyuan Sword Technique skyrocketed, soaring to 27.2%, a full 20.8% increase.

Qin He remained calm and showed no surprise at the result.

As his entries have accumulated and evolved, he is no longer the Qin He of the past, so this increase is only natural.

This is also the source of Qinhe's confidence in cultivating the Five Swords together.

Do you really think he's some kind of ascetic? He's got some kind of cheat code!

"Take it all for real, let me see your limits!"

Qin He's gaze was firm, ready to put in 120% effort to fully cultivate the basic Five Elements Sword Technique.

Without uttering a word, Qin He wielded his black gold sword and once again immersed himself in sword practice.

After completing the fifth round of Chongyuan Sword Technique training, Qin He's aura underwent a slight change.

The originally sharp aura suddenly became somewhat composed, unlike its previous overt sharpness.

[Chongyuan Sword Technique: Beginner (5.2%)]

After just five rounds of sword practice, Chongyuan Sword Technique successfully broke through to the beginner level.

It only took about 2 hours in total!

Such an insane speed of cultivation would probably leave other martial artists speechless with shock.

However, for Qin He, this gain was like a gentle breeze, not worth mentioning.

With unwavering composure, he continued practicing his sword techniques without pause.

Qin He became more and more enthusiastic as he practiced, as if he had forgotten about the trivial matters of the outside world. Apart from his fixed imagery cultivation, he devoted all his time to the practice of the Chongyuan Sword Technique.

Even his planned martial arts training was temporarily put on hold by Qin He.

At this moment, Qin He had only one thought in his mind.

I will fully master the Chongyuan Sword Technique and will not stop practicing it until I reach the Great Mastery level.

As a result of doing so, Chongyuan Sword Technique advanced at an unimaginable speed, unstoppable.

The third round of sword practice ended on Thursday morning. After ten rounds of sword practice, Chongyuan Sword Technique successfully broke through.

[Chongyuan Sword Technique: Minor Success (4.6%)]

The fourth round of swordsmanship training ended on Thursday night. After nineteen rounds of intensive training, Chongyuan Sword Technique made another breakthrough.

【Chongyuan Sword Technique: Mastery (1.7%)】

"After two full days and one night of frantic practice, thirty-four rounds of sword techniques, the Chongyuan Sword Technique has finally reached its peak!"

Qin He was drenched in sweat, his training clothes completely soaked, but his face was beaming with a smile.

To be precise, it wasn't two days and one night, but rather one day and one night plus a little over half a day.

From the middle of yesterday afternoon until the middle of tonight, Qin He has had almost no rest time, and can be said to have burned himself out.

Thanks to this almost fanatical training method, Qin He successfully mastered the Chongyuan Sword Technique.

Compared to the cultivation of the Sharp Metal Sword Technique, it was like heaven and earth.
