Battle Through the Heavens: The Inner Struggle of Cultivation Brings Xiao Yan to Tears

These insights are far greater than anything I've had before.

Xiao Yang, who had already mastered the Mountain-Opening Fist, never expected that his Mountain-Opening Fist would have so many shortcomings.

The moment he finished receiving all the insights, the system's voice sounded in his mind again.

[Task: Master the Mountain-Splitting Fist to perfection. Reward: Basic Fist Technique Talent +1, Intermediate Xuan-Rank Combat Skill: Fierce Mountain Fist. Completed. Claim reward?]

To Xiao Yang, the sound was like heavenly music.

I'm finally going to have a Xuan-rank fighting skill!

"System, claim your reward!"

The next moment, Xiao Yang discovered that there was an extra scroll in the system space.

He originally thought the system would directly transmit the Fierce Mountain Fist into his mind, but he didn't expect it to be sent to the system space in the form of a physical scroll.

In this way, if he doesn't need it in the future, or if he's short of money, he can sell it or give it away.

Xiao Yang did not immediately take out the Fierce Mountain Fist to look at it, but instead went into the bathtub to soak in the Rejuvenating Spirit Liquid medicinal bath.

Although he is extremely excited, he has very little physical strength left.

Soon, Xiao Yang was fully recovered.

After he finished dressing, he couldn't wait to take out the Fierce Mountain Fist.

With a thought, a dark red scroll appeared in Xiao Yang's hand.

He unrolled the scroll, and what came into view were several large black characters.

"Mid-level Xuan-rank combat skill: Fierce Mountain Fist".

Xiao Yang began to carefully examine the training method of the Fierce Mountain Fist.

It can only be said that Xuan-rank combat skills are indeed far superior to Huang-rank combat skills.

The number of meridians and acupoints required for Lieshanquan is several times that of Kaishanquan.

It is also much more complicated to practice than the Mountain-Opening Fist.

However, its power is also far beyond what the Mountain-Splitting Fist can achieve.

Although Xiao Yang's Mountain-Opening Fist has now reached perfection, he can use each move at will.

Moreover, its power is no less than that of other high-level Yellow-rank combat skills.

However, if he learns the Fierce Mountain Fist, even if he only learns the basics, as long as he can use it, its power will be greater than the Mountain-Opening Fist.

This is the difference in fighting skills between different classes.

Looking at the meridians recorded in the scroll, Xiao Yang began to carefully experiment with controlling his fighting spirit.

He did not transfer his fighting spirit to all the recorded meridians at once.

After all, this is the first time I've practiced a combat technique. My meridians are very fragile at this stage of combat qi. If I make a mistake while practicing, I might get injured.

Therefore, Xiao Yang was extremely careful when cultivating.

After all, he didn't have a teacher to guide him.

Just then, he suddenly realized that he should create a task first.

Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Yang immediately created the mission.

[Task: Practice the Fierce Mountain Fist 27 times; Reward: Fierce Mountain Fist Proficiency +1]

Looking at the tasks on the system panel, Xiao Yang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

How could it be the number 27?

Logically speaking, shouldn't they all be multiples of ten?

Just then, he suddenly remembered a reward that he had just overlooked!

A novice talent in boxing!

Sure enough, Xiao Yang opened the system panel and took a look.

A new talent category has been added above.

……

[Talent: Basic Fist Technique Talent 1/10]

……

He then created another skill proficiency quest for the Mountain Opening Fist as an experiment.

[Task: Practice the Mountain-Splitting Fist 9000 times; Reward: Mountain-Splitting Fist Proficiency +1]

Sure enough, in theory, it should take about 10000 practice sessions to complete one proficiency task.

However, it can be established in 9000 attempts.

Xiao Yang directly deleted the Mountain-Opening Fist training task.

Although the number of times of practice is not ten thousand, it would still take at least half a year to reach a state of mastery, even with the use of special gauntlets.

Even if Xiao Yang obtains a Ground-Rank Battle Technique now, he won't be able to use it.

He should at least wait until he reaches the level of a Battle Master before he can use it.

Right now, he still plans to practice the Fierce Mountain Fist first.

He discovered that, perhaps due to his rudimentary talent in basic boxing techniques, he wondered if it was because of this.

When practicing the Fierce Mountain Fist, it was very smooth to mobilize the fighting energy into the meridians.

Soon, Xiao Yang succeeded once.

He realized that, perhaps because this was his first time doing a beginner proficiency task, he was wondering if it was because of this.

He doesn't need to unleash a full Fierce Mountain Fist.

As long as Xiao Yang circulates his fighting spirit to all the meridians and acupoints corresponding to the Fierce Mountain Fist once, it can be considered as one training session.

This is much simpler than unleashing a Fierce Mountain Fist.

However, even so, due to his lack of familiarity with the process, Xiao Yang now needs about five minutes to cultivate once.

Because it was not successfully executed, the loss of fighting spirit was not significant.

Soon, more than two hours passed, and Xiao Yang finally completed his 27th training session.

Chapter 10: Eighth Stage of Battle Qi!

A familiar voice echoed in Xiao Yang's mind.

[Task: Practice the Lieshan Fist 27 times. Reward: Lieshan Fist Proficiency +1. Completed. Claim reward?]

"System, claim your reward!"

The next moment, an insight appeared directly in Xiao Yang's mind.

Although it's just a beginner-level insight.

However, because the Fierce Mountain Fist is a mid-level Xuan-rank combat skill, it is inherently much more complex than the Mountain-Opening Fist.

Therefore, it took Xiao Yang a while to fully receive this insight.

After receiving the insights, he did not hesitate at all and created another task.

[Task: Practice the Fierce Mountain Fist 27 times; Reward: Fierce Mountain Fist Proficiency +1]

After receiving the insights from the mission reward, Xiao Yang discovered that he could now unleash the Fierce Mountain Fist in its entirety!

However, because he is not yet proficient, he needs to prepare for a while.

Xiao Yang began to try to channel his fighting spirit into the meridians and acupoints corresponding to the Fierce Mountain Fist.

His right fist was enveloped by a fighting spirit.

The next moment, Xiao Yang threw a punch.

A distinct gust of wind from a punch suddenly appeared in the air!

The grass blades not far away were all bent by the wind.

Xiao Yang did not stop, but continued to cultivate.

Just as he was about to complete his 27th training session and collect his mission reward, he suddenly discovered something.

On the system panel, the skill proficiency of the Fierce Mountain Fist in the combat skill section is displayed as Beginner 2/10!

Keep in mind that he had only completed one proficiency task before.

Logically speaking, the proficiency level of Lieshan Fist should be 1/10 of that of a beginner.

However, I've become a bit more proficient with it now.

Xiao Yang thought about it for a moment and quickly figured it out.

Proficiency cannot be gained solely through system tasks.

Just like his previous Mountain-Opening Fist and Wind-Chasing Step.

When you get the system, your proficiency level is already at a basic level.

This is because Xiao Yang himself had cultivated before.

The proficiency points awarded by the system can be considered as extra gains.

The reason why Xiao Yang did not improve his proficiency before was because it took him several years to cultivate the Mountain Opening Fist to the level of Xiao Chengdu.

Although he practiced the Mountain-Opening Fist hundreds of times in those few days.

However, it was ultimately just mechanical training; he didn't gain any personal insights.

Therefore, my proficiency did not improve on its own.

However, the Fierce Mountain Fist is currently being practiced only at a very young age.

Therefore, when he cultivates, he also constantly adjusts and perfects the way he circulates his fighting energy.

This allowed Xiao Yang to improve his proficiency slightly without receiving any system rewards.
