In the game "High Martial Arts," players start with the blessing of the Martial God.

next day

When Ji Ming got up, the splitting headache from last night had completely dissipated, leaving him feeling refreshed.

"The elixirs and medicines concocted by this cultivator are truly extraordinary!"

He smacked his lips, knowing that he had benefited from Luo Shi's influence; otherwise, a dignified commander of the Tiger Might Army would not have taken him seriously!

He shook his head, no longer thinking about it. Alchemists among cultivators also need to awaken special talents to change professions, and they are even rarer than pharmacists. They are not easy to come into contact with in places like Shirakawa City.

Take Yun Dan Fang for example. Despite its name, there are absolutely no real alchemists working there. At most, they sell pills and powders.

Medicine is better; pharmacists can prepare a whole bunch at once, and it's affordable and easy to buy.

Thinking of this, Ji Ming couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that other professions had their own branches, unlike them martial artists who only knew how to fight. No wonder they were looked down upon!

……

Shirakawa Ichichu

Some traces are still visible at the school gate. Even the main gate was newly built overnight. Along the way, there are still many broken pieces of wood that have not been cleaned up, and a section of the floor has been replaced.

Yesterday, the six Heavenly Demon Envoys first attacked Baichuan No. 1 Middle School. Even at night, many students stayed in the training room all night. It is normal for the Heavenly Demon Cult to choose this as the starting point for stirring up trouble in Baichuan City.

Last night, a fierce battle broke out on the campus of No. 1 Middle School. Fortunately, Principal Gu Tiannian was highly skilled and reacted quickly, using earth magic to trap all the enemies, thus preventing any casualties. Mayor Fang then provided timely support.

And then... no more.

These demon envoys became nothing more than a backdrop for Principal Fang Yuan's display of divine power and his divine prowess in front of others, which is why Chen Zhengfang was so shocked and even humbled last night.

That's just too amazing!

This is someone who should never have appeared in Shirakawa City. I'm afraid those Heavenly Demon Envoys thought the same thing before they died.

Upon arriving at the school, Ji Ming did not go directly to find Luo Zhao, but instead went to the Martial Arts Office. He had been putting off collecting the Book of Will for a long time, as other matters had kept him waiting, and this was the perfect opportunity to do so.

"Knock knock knock!"

A knock came at the office door, and Liu Shuo's gruff voice came from inside: "Come in!"

"Hello, Teacher Liu!"

Ji Ming bowed.

"Ji Ming, what's the matter?"

Liu Shuo smiled in response, and then, on a sudden impulse, his mental energy swept over Liu Shuo and, sensing the aura emanating from him, became even more amiable.

He was secretly amazed. He had reached the ninth level of the mortal realm, and it wasn't just a simple breakthrough. It had only been a few days.

Although cultivation in the Mortal Realm is not difficult, it takes more and more time to advance. Gu Yi probably didn't have this speed back then.

Gu Yi has that special talent, while Ji Ming relies purely on his comprehension.

Liu Shuo felt a little envious. He hadn't even mastered the [Heart of Heaven and Earth] yet, while Ji Ming had a chance to master it in the Jade Purity Realm. This characteristic could greatly increase the probability of breaking through to the Fetal Breath Realm!

Ji Ming, of course, had no idea that Liu Shuo had thought so much in the blink of an eye. He smiled and asked, "I wonder if we can still receive that Book of Willpower, a low-grade Heaven-rank martial art?"

"Of course!"

Liu Shuo nodded. "I've been waiting for you for ages, kid. I thought you didn't care!"

"Take a look, these are all the books of willpower for all the low-grade Heaven-rank martial arts techniques currently existing in the city."

Ji Ming took the printed paper. He wasn't surprised; although the virtual bracelet was useful, many people still maintained ancient lifestyles.

Upon closer inspection, there weren't many martial arts techniques. He sifted through them and selected four movement-based techniques.

[Smoke and Cloud Wandering Steps: Lower Heavenly Rank]

Rank: Third Rank

Category: Martial Arts

Difficulty: Normal

Brief Introduction: Skilled in mobile combat, upon reaching mastery, one can condense three wisps of smoke into one body, unpredictable and difficult to distinguish from the real!

Moon-Treading Movement Technique: Lower Heavenly Rank

Rank: Third Rank

Category: Martial Arts

Difficulty: Hard

Brief Description: Specializes in explosive bursts of speed; when fully mastered, a silver moon can be generated beneath the feet, exploding to further amplify speed, but this consumes a great deal of energy and must be used with caution.

Ji Ming shook his head. Generally speaking, he was not very satisfied. Both martial arts techniques had their own advantages and disadvantages, but neither met his expectations. So he continued to read on.

After glancing at a few more and skipping over one more, he turned his attention to the last movement technique, and his eyes lit up immediately.

[The Great Void Escape: Lower Heavenly Rank]

Rank: Third Rank

Category: Martial Arts

Difficulty: Extremely difficult

Brief Introduction: This martial art boasts unparalleled movement techniques, allowing for evasive maneuvers and the ability to travel thousands of miles in a single leap. Its perfection offers a sliver of hope for mastering the Void Laws! **Note:** The complete Void Escape Technique is a Saint-grade movement skill. Our version only includes the first three tiers, and its power is severely limited. It is extremely difficult to master; please choose carefully.

Ji Ming almost drooled. Did their school have such a good thing?

Liu Shuo shook his head helplessly when he saw him like this.

"This technique, [Tai Xu Yi Xuan], is indeed very powerful, but it is extremely difficult. All those who have tried it in the past have failed. If you want to choose it, you should be careful. This Book of Will has been used by many people, and the remaining spiritual projections within it are extremely thin. You have no more than three attempts left to comprehend it."

"this……"

Ji Ming hesitated for a moment, his fingers stroking the paper for a long time, still reluctant to give up. Finally, he gritted his teeth, took a picture, and sent it to Teacher Luo.

"Choose this one!"

The next second, Master Luo sent a brief message, which relieved Ji Ming and made up his mind.

"Teacher Liu, I've made up my mind, I want 'The Great Void Escape'!"

"good!"

Liu Shuo simply nodded without offering any advice, after all, Ji Ming's strong comprehension was obvious to all, and he didn't want to be proven wrong.

"You're very lucky. This martial arts technique was left behind by a principal a long time ago. It's located at No. 1 Middle School. I'll take you there to get it now."

"Thank you so much, Teacher Liu!"

Ji Ming was overjoyed; it would be wonderful to get his hands on it as soon as possible.

Before long, Liu Shuo came to him carrying a wooden box about the size of a palm.

"Take a look!"

Ji Ming took a deep breath. This was the first time he had ever seen the Book of Will. He wondered what was so special about it.

With a mix of excitement and trepidation, he opened the box, then his pupils contracted slightly, his eyes widening in surprise, for inside lay a black card!

"What? Surprised?"

Liu Shuo smiled; he knew it would be that expression. He remembered it was the same when he first met him.

"Doesn't it look exactly like your favorite card?"

Ji Ming nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. He had considered that it might be a book, a jade slip, or a bone fragment, but he never expected it to be... a card?

It's a card that's extremely similar to my signature card!

Liu Shuo sighed.

"I can only tell you that the Destiny Card and Identity Card hide extremely deep secrets, and what we humans have grasped is only the tip of the iceberg. Long ago, many powerful individuals discovered that making inherited items such as the Book of Will into the shape of the Destiny Card not only extends their shelf life but also enhances their effects."

Ji Ming was even more surprised. How could simply changing the shape enhance the effect? ​​What kind of power was this?

Suddenly, he became extremely curious about his natal card, which had been previously ignored. After all, it was something everyone had, and once awakened, it was only used to view some information and had no other use. No one would bother to study it.

He used to think this was just a special manifestation of the extraordinary power in this world, but now, after Liu Shuo reminded him, he suddenly realized that being able to see his own information at any time could be used as a cheat code by some protagonists in novels.

And everyone has the Xuanhuang Realm!

Furthermore, the destiny card can grant each person a talent. I used to think it was the awakening of one's own potential, but now it seems that's not entirely true.

Sensing the seriousness in Teacher Liu's tone, Ji Ming nodded slightly, deciding to pay more attention to this aspect in the future.

"Teacher Liu, I'll take my leave now."

He didn't ask any further questions, and Liu Shuo himself clearly only had a vague understanding.
