The reason Yang Xiying is here now is because he has finished studying the three books he had previously acquired.
"Whether it's the Righteousness Song, the Southern Heaven Stance, or the Emerald Peak Technique, I seem to have mastered them all now."
Dahe: "???"
PS: Next, I'll fight a few characters from Gensokyo in the arena before entering the dungeon.
NO.16 Yang's plans for his future spiritual practice!
“Um… young man, if you can’t learn it, you can say so. I won’t laugh at you. On the contrary, I can teach you some basic things.”
Although Yang Xiying spoke in a language that Dahe could understand, he couldn't understand it when they were put together. What did she mean by "learning all three books"?
—Didn't you just take those three books this morning?
"Thank you for your kindness, brother, but I have indeed learned them. Now I just want to switch to new books to study."
Yang Xiying scratched her head. She had spent the afternoon in the Mind Palace, trying to learn by reading books without using martial arts points, and ended up mastering the skills in just a few hours.
Now he understands what the so-called 100 comprehension means; the key points of these martial arts manuals can be engraved into his DNA with just one look and one practice.
If things continue like this, I could even start my own school and instruct others without any problem, but that's a long way off. Let's focus on becoming stronger first.
Because he practiced the Emerald Peak Technique, his internal strength increased by 15 points to 56 points, while the Southern Heavenly Stance brought his lightness skill to 30.
In addition, his combat skills increased by 3 points due to practicing some punches and kicks, so it seems that his attribute increase was not just due to learning the secret manual.
Attributes such as physical strength, lightness skill, etc. can all be improved through training, but meridian points are still needed to break through the meridians.
Because these meridian points are refined from the pure energy extracted during the practice of new internal skills, the only way to break through the meridians is to continuously learn new internal skills.
Apart from "The Legacy of Yue Fei," none of the martial arts manuals that Yakumo Yukari gave her are ones that she can learn right now, and learning "The Legacy of Yue Fei" requires some preparation.
This is a military treatise written by Yue Fei, a famous general who resisted the Jin dynasty during the Song dynasty. After studying it, one's internal strength will increase by 60, and all martial arts attributes will increase by 30.
It's a truly divine book, but if you don't master it through self-study using martial arts points, you'll need to prepare a sword, knife, spear, staff, short-handled weapon, and one throwable weapon.
After all, martial arts manuals require not only reading but also actual practice, so Yang Xiying had to go out and pick up some new martial arts manuals along the way.
As a result, I encountered a great river. However, the other side seemed a bit skeptical of what I was saying, so I decided to demonstrate it to them first.
"If you don't believe me, then I'll show you the results of your cultivation."
Yang Xiying immediately activated the Righteous Qi Song Technique, which was the easiest type of martial art he had obtained from under the statue to learn, and the other side should be able to understand it.
“…I should at least introduce someone as talented as you to Captain Mingluo.”
Seeing the aura emanating from Yang Xiying and the gazes of those around him, Dahe remained silent for a long time before speaking.
This is the Righteousness Song, which he practiced for a month to learn! You're saying you learned it in one afternoon?! And you even said you knew all three.
So, the Righteousness Song Technique is a martial art that can be learned in a short time?!
"Young man, are you interested in contributing to the protection of the Human Village? Of course, the benefits are negotiable, including food, lodging, and a salary."
—Dahe has decided to poach people; they can earn some referral fees by bringing in guys like this!
"Uh, is this job paid daily?" Yang Xiying hesitated for a moment because he really needed some money right now.
The job of protecting the village is basically just being a guard, and the salary seems rather fixed.
Moreover, he's not free and feels bored. He used to play on his phone to kill time when he was a security guard, so the security here must be stricter.
—In the end, he hadn't even started looking for other jobs yet.
“Hmm…it seems you’re looking for a quick way to make money,” Dahe understood the implication of Yang Xiying’s words.
“That’s right, because I feel that practicing martial arts is quite expensive,” Yang Xiying nodded, as he needed to buy weapons in order to cultivate the Wumu Legacy.
For knives, you can buy a kitchen knife, which should be usable as a short-handled weapon. For arrows, you can just pick up some small stones from the roadside.
But swords and spears would require some effort, and he also wanted to spend some money to buy medicine and minerals, since the Mind Palace had an alchemy room and a blacksmith shop.
These two facilities allow him to refine elixirs and forge equipment.
Refining elixirs is an essential part of martial arts training and even immortal cultivation. Once a golden elixir enters the stomach, one's fate is in one's own hands, not in the hands of heaven.
Moreover, he also needs medicinal herbs to cultivate the Thousand Gold Prescriptions. This is a secret manual that will allow him to master the technique of healing people and also improve his poison skills and medical skills.
—Poisoning and medicine are essential skills for Yang Xiying to learn.
The former sounds like a technique that can inflict various negative buffs on the opponent, allowing you to poison them when you can't defeat them head-on.
Just like when you're playing Pokémon battles and can't beat someone, you can use cool moves like Spore, Yawn, Spikes, Stealth Rock, Toxic, Bash, Will-O-Wisp, and Leech Seed to turn the tide.
As for medicine, the reason for learning it is very simple: those who use poison always need medical skills to save them, and they won't be afraid of encountering people who want to poison others in the future.
In battle, having some healing skills would make you feel more at ease, and most importantly, you wouldn't be so helpless when you encounter someone who is seriously injured.
Then comes equipment forging. How can one roam the world without a suitable weapon and armor, or even a super robot!
Since the system has the power to destroy the multiverse, the upgrades it has given to its own forging attributes must go beyond just making cold weapons.
However, before we can even dream about these things, we need to find a way to earn some money, and the only way to do all this in Gensokyo is to get a part-time job.
After all, stealing and robbing require strength, and because of this, he hasn't even started testing his talent for reciprocity yet.
"In that case, let's look in the commercial district. There should be some part-time jobs available there. Or we could try our luck in a competition somewhere."
Dahe began to offer suggestions, and the last one particularly concerned Yang Xiying, so much so that he couldn't help but ask about it.
"A duel?"
"Yes, although the God of War passed on his power to everyone, giving them the ability to strengthen their bodies and protect themselves."
"But practicing martial arts can be quite boring if you don't have the chance to use it, so sparring has become one of the sports in Gensokyo."
"In order to prevent the martial arts competition from causing damage to the surrounding area, a ring was set up in the village where people could spar and compete."
"Then, this sport seems to be very popular in Gensokyo, and every time someone has a duel, it attracts a large crowd of people and youkai to watch."
"Those who smell a business opportunity or monsters use this as an opportunity to carry out various commercial activities, such as placing bets on who will win."
"—Or they could actively enter the ring, win continuously, and earn prize money."
"I see," Yang Xiying understood somewhat; martial arts practice and ring fighting were an essential part of the process.
"Anyway, if you're interested in this, I'll take you to see it," Dahe said, while Yang Xiying fell into thought.
"Let's do this next time," Yang Xiying finally said, not asking him to take her to the ring. "I'm a little unsure of my own abilities."
"—So now I need to take these books back to study."
Yang Xiying pulled out five books from the bookshelf: "Northern Darkness Divine Skill", "Lingbo Steps", "Marrow Cleansing Classic", "Iron Sand Palm", and "Kui Xing Kicking the Dipper".
"—After I finish my training and return, I'll ask Brother Dahe to take me to the arena."
"Oh...oh, then good luck."
I was momentarily distracted by the books Yang Xiying had pulled out, and when I came to my senses, I found that Yang Xiying had already walked away.
Therefore, he had no choice but to say goodbye. Besides, his wife and children were waiting for him at home, so he went home first and waited for the man to come find him later.
—I just don't know how long it will take to study all these books...
PS: First update. This is my first book, please add it to your favorites and give it a recommendation vote.
NO.17 Yang, who took office after only half a month of training!
"Hey? Isn't that the Yellow River?"
Gensokyo Dome.
This is a large indoor stadium jointly built by humans and youkai in Gensokyo, with a domed exterior.
There are plenty of sports facilities, such as football fields, basketball courts, and table tennis courts, but these are just for show in Gensokyo, serving as backdrops for certain popular sports.
That is the place for sparring. Underneath the Super Martial Arts Arena, there exists a ring where victory and defeat are decided in a primitive way—the Grand Martial Arts Arena!
Anyone who is willing can go up and challenge others to a fight. This area was originally established so that people could resolve disputes by force without affecting the surrounding area.
However, because the people and youkai of Gensokyo are somewhat bloodthirsty, they are full of martial virtue and like to use force to express their feelings, and they are keen to watch others fight.
Over time, this place has become a place for the public to have fun. People on stage exchange martial arts skills, while people below watch the excitement and even place bets.
—Everyone has a bright future.
That's what Tojo thought. Not only could he watch the games, but he could also gamble on them. It was incredibly fun, so he came here every night.
He never expected to see an acquaintance here, a guard who maintained order in the village, who was also his neighbor.
—Say hello if you encounter anyone.
"Oh? It's Tojo. You still come here every night as usual."
Hearing someone call his name, Dahe immediately turned around and, upon recognizing an acquaintance, casually replied that this was his neighbor.
A gambling addict started coming here every day when the Grand Arena beneath the Gensokyo Dome gradually turned into a casino.
"We only live for so many days, how can we not enjoy life while we can?" Tojo replied cheerfully, not feeling that he had anything wrong with himself.
"—So, what brings you here today? Are you looking to relax and earn some extra cash?"
The Grand Martial Arts Arena is basically open at night, since there are far fewer entertainment activities at night compared to the daytime, and the river is generally not out at this time.
He had a wife and children to keep him company, but now the person opposite him was here, which was somewhat unexpected.
Therefore, Tojo had already considered that the other side might be looking to gamble to relax due to work pressure, or even go directly to the ring to make money.
Because with the addition of betting elements to the arena, the fighters are no longer simply there to resolve disputes.
Instead, it's about gambling for money, and with the participation of some people who have sensed a business opportunity, the practices of opening betting and placing bets have become more regulated.
The people who come here gradually fall into three categories: those who watch the matches and gamble, fighters who fight with a purpose, and the organizers who mediate and control these people.
As for Taihe, he can either help the organizers maintain order as the guardian of the Human Village or actively participate in the competition, as long as he doesn't run into any real big shots, he can make money.
Moreover, truly skilled individuals from Gensokyo rarely come here to fight; the last expert to come here was the gatekeeper of the lakeside mansion…
"Uh... that's about it," Taiga said, unsure of how to put it. "I mainly brought a young man here to take a look."
"Eh, young man?" Tojo was taken aback. There wasn't anyone with this person, so he couldn't help but ask the person opposite him.
"Yes, he's a young man who hasn't been in Gensokyo for long. He asked me to come here after I told him that you can make money by fighting in the arena."
The river opened directly.
"Wow, he's only been in Gensokyo for a short time and he's already so bold. Is he impressive?" Tojo thought the newcomer had some commendable courage.
—Could he be a master?
"When we first met, I was just a greenhorn compared to the guards who were stationed in the village of the living."
"So when he heard that fighting in the arena could make money, he was a little insecure and thought he would train for a while before coming here to try his luck."
"How long has he been training?" Tojo couldn't help but ask when he heard Taiga say that, and then he received this response.
"About two weeks."
"What can you do in two weeks? That's not even enough time for you to master the Righteous Qi Song Technique," Tojo said, completely bewildered.
"Trying to pick a fight, huh? You've been studying the Righteousness Song for a month and haven't seen any results, you gave up halfway through," Dahe's forehead veins immediately bulged.
"Anyway, enough talk. Just watch that young man go on stage."
"Oh oh."
And so, the two grown men blended into the crowd and waited for the ring to open, after which a kimono-clad host with a microphone came on stage.
"Welcome everyone to the Grand Martial Arts Arena! We've seen your enthusiasm, so in order not to disappoint you—"
"As always, we have invited many fighters to spar and compete! Now, let's invite the first group of fighters to the stage!"
The man stood on the wide arena, delivering his opening remarks with enthusiastic words, and then invited the contestants to enter.
