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

It's relatively easy to gain basic proficiency.

In the beginner stage, basically, as long as you can perform a complete fighting technique once, you can be considered a beginner.

To reach a minor level, one needs to be proficient in its use and be able to use it quickly in battle.

The highest level of mastery allows one to unleash the full power of a fighting technique.

If perfected, one can freely use any fighting technique in every move, and the power can even increase to a higher level.

Xiao Yang has never experienced the level of "transcendental mastery" before, so he doesn't know what kind of realm it is.

After figuring things out, Xiao Yang no longer treated his cultivation of fighting techniques as a perfunctory task, like he was just trying to meet KPIs.

He began to fully appreciate the flow of fighting energy in every movement, as well as the feeling when throwing a punch.

And so, time passed.

Soon, a day had passed.

In one day, Xiao Yang only completed six proficiency tasks.

However, his proficiency in the Fierce Mountain Fist has already reached 8/10 of the beginner level!

In other words, he can raise his proficiency in Lieshan Fist to the minor level tomorrow!

How terrifying is that speed?

A cultivator at the Battle Qi stage was able to apply a Xuan-level Battle Technique to combat in just two days!

This speed is incredibly fast.

In fact, Xiao Yang was able to increase his proficiency by two points on his own, mainly because he discovered a small bug.

He did not immediately claim the proficiency rewards from the subsequent tasks.

He waited until he finished his evening practice before collecting them.

Because the lower the proficiency level, the easier it is for him to improve.

However, this is only possible when you are just starting out.

Once you reach a certain level of proficiency, it becomes much more difficult to improve on your own, making it less cost-effective to quickly complete system tasks.

Unless, Xiao Yang can acquire more talent in boxing techniques.

Although Lieshanquan is currently only at the beginner level.

However, he was able to improve his proficiency by two points in a single day, and he guessed that a large part of the credit went to his natural talent for boxing.

Having a talent for boxing not only reduces the difficulty of mastering boxing techniques, but also allows you to better control various boxing combat skills!

After discovering this, Xiao Yang also began to pay attention to the rewards for the fist technique mission.

After a day of cultivation, Xiao Yang went to bed to begin cultivating his battle qi after taking a medicinal bath.

He hadn't slept for a long time.

Nowadays, people mostly replace sleeping with spiritual practice.

He sat cross-legged on the bed, assumed the correct posture, and began to circulate the fighting energy within his body.

One cannot cultivate techniques during the Qi of Battle stage.

Therefore, he could only guide the fighting energy out of his dantian and begin circulating it throughout his body's meridians.

In addition to gradually expanding the meridians and laying the foundation for the future, this process also allows for the absorption of traces of external energy.

After the fighting energy completes one cycle within the body, it returns to the dantian, where it can transform this external energy into its own fighting energy.

The reason why Xiao Yan was able to recover his strength so quickly after Yao Lao appeared was not only due to the Foundation Establishment Elixir, but also because of another major reason.

That means he had already expanded his meridians considerably before he advanced to the rank of Dou Zhe.

Even after his cultivation level regressed in recent years, he still did not give up cultivating.

During this process, the width of the meridians expands to its limit.

Therefore, he was able to quickly recover his strength after the old man stopped absorbing his cultivation.

Xiao Yang also pays attention to this when he is cultivating.

Every time he cultivates, he tries his best to expand his meridians with fighting energy.

Just as he was finishing a cycle of Qi as usual, guiding the fighting Qi back to his dantian.

He felt a bottleneck within his body suddenly shatter.

The next moment, a suction force emanated from his dantian.

External energy surged into his body, flowing through his meridians into his dantian and quickly transforming into his power.

At the same time, a system notification sounded in his mind.

[Task: Break through to the eighth stage of Dou Qi. Reward: Constitution +1, Root Bone +1, Foundation Establishment Elixir. Completed. Claim reward?]

Xiao Yang's face was full of surprise.

He has finally broken through to the eighth level of Dou Qi!

He had reached the peak of the seventh level of Dou Qi a few days ago, and originally thought it would take a few more days to break through.

Unexpectedly, I broke through to the next level today, and with the Fierce Mountain Fist I acquired today, it's like a double blessing!

Chapter 11 Foundation Building Elixir

"System, claim your reward!"

Xiao Yang silently recited it in his mind, somewhat impatiently.

You should know that the reward for this mission is the Foundation Establishment Elixir that he has been looking forward to for a long time!

With the Foundation Establishment Elixir, he could quickly reach the ninth level of Battle Qi and attempt to break through to the Battle Master level.

The system reward was issued the next moment.

Xiao Yang's first sensation was the change within himself.

He felt a warm current flowing through his body, and his physical condition improved significantly once again.

But that's not all.

He discovered that another stream of energy was flowing out of his dantian.

This energy flowed through his limbs and bones.

He was pleasantly surprised to find that his dantian had expanded a little.

Not only that, but my meridians have also widened considerably!

The expansion of the dantian and the widening of the meridians signify an improvement in one's talent!

He guessed that the change was due to the +1 to root bone reward from the mission.

At this moment, Xiao Yang realized that the Foundation Establishment Elixir and the +1 to his physique were not his biggest rewards this time.

The most important reward this time is the +1 to Root Bone!

Improving one's physical constitution directly enhances one's talent for cultivation!

He had just treasured the Foundation Establishment Elixir, but he immediately tossed it aside.

Xiao Yang began to try circulating his energy through one cycle, to feel the changes within his body.

He discovered that if he had cultivated for about a year before, he could break through to the ninth level of Dou Qi.

Now, it may only take ten months to break through to the ninth level of Dou Qi!

If Foundation Building Elixir is added, this time may be further shortened.

Xiao Yang felt that, not counting the other rewards from the system, he could break through to the ninth level of Dou Qi in about four or five months with the help of the Foundation Establishment Elixir.

Xiao Yan was able to break through in three months because his talent was inherently better than Xiao Yang's.

Therefore, the time it takes for him to break through will definitely be shorter than Xiao Yang's.

Moreover, a single dose of Foundation Establishment Elixir can only be used for two months, so Xiao Yang's progress will definitely be slower.

However, Xiao Yang believed that with the system in place, his future achievements would certainly not be lower than Xiao Yan's.

After all, I am only exerting a small part of the system's effectiveness right now.

I have no resources at all.

Only with sufficient resources and a larger platform can the system truly unleash its potential!

Xiao Yang glanced at his current system panel.
