Chapter 007 Skill Points, Choose Martial Arts

Blood Thunder Slash, although it consists of only one move, greatly intrigues Zhuge Xiang. Among the offensive martial arts in the Hidden Martial Arts Pavilion, this technique possesses the highest attack power, which aligns perfectly with Zhuge Xiang's requirements

On more than a dozen platforms, various martial arts manuals were displayed, including sword techniques, fist techniques, leg techniques, and so on. Zhuge Xiang also saw the Qingbo Palm and the Phantom Step. Each of these martial arts had its own strengths, and Zhuge Xiang was momentarily at a loss as to how to choose. Upon seeing the manual for the Qingbo Palm, Zhuge Xiang picked it up and casually flipped it open, as this was the only martial art he had some understanding of.

Bloodthirst, this Zhuge Xiang is also quite tempted. Although the cost of this skill is bodily harm, it can forcibly enhance various attributes in a short period of time, whether it is the body's resistance to damage, movement speed, or attack speed, etc. However, this martial art is extremely dangerous to cultivate.

While feeling a deep shock, Zhuge Xiang did not choose to cultivate the Clear Wave Palm. The special effect of the Clear Wave Palm is to trap the enemy, making them feel as if they are mired in mud; however, its pure attack power is not particularly impressive. For Zhuge Xiang, who needs to achieve victory in battle to enhance his cultivation, choosing the Clear Wave Palm is not very suitable. Setting aside the Clear Wave Palm, Zhuge Xiang began to examine other martial arts.

The primary purpose of coming to the Cangwu Pavilion is, of course, martial arts. Upon reaching the platform where the martial arts manuals are displayed, Zhuge Xiang carefully surveyed the area. In fact, there are not many martial arts manuals in the Cangwu Pavilion, only a little over ten volumes. After all, this pavilion is merely a transitional space for disciples who have comprehended Qi within a year to continue their training. Once the assessment conference concludes, these disciples will be taken to the official sect of the Shura Sect, where they will receive systematic instruction.

The likelihood of successfully cultivating the Bloodthirsty Technique is one in a hundred, while the consequences of failure are naturally dire. Therefore, although the Bloodthirsty Technique is the most powerful martial art of the Cangwu Pavilion, the number of those who truly dare to cultivate it is exceedingly few. After all, it is not easy to comprehend the Qi energy, and having qualified to become an official disciple of the Shura Sect, there is no need to risk one's life. Thus, among the thousands of disciples who have comprehended Qi energy, only a little over eighty dare to attempt it, which clearly illustrates the low success rate of cultivating the Bloodthirsty Technique.

I see. After receiving information about this bloodthirsty technique, Zhuge Xiang nodded in understanding, but in his heart, he had already made a decision

Next to the Cangwu Pavilion, there is a foreign affairs department specifically responsible for the training and daily life of the one hundred thousand disciples. After Zhuge Xiang passed the assessment and obtained the identity token representing his comprehension of Qi energy, he entered the Cangwu Pavilion. Upon entry, the guard solemnly reiterated the rules of the Cangwu Pavilion, which were essentially that one could only learn one martial art, that the methods for cultivating Qi energy were included, and that loud noises were prohibited.

In the case of someone like Zhuge Xiang, a practitioner at the Qi Nourishing stage can only learn two martial arts. Currently, upon breaking through to the Qi strength level, one can learn one martial art, while the other can only be learned upon reaching the fifth level of the Qi Nourishing stage. This regulation is also intended to remind disciples that while they are increasing their combat capabilities, they must not forget the importance of cultivation. After all, without a solid foundation in cultivation, even the most powerful offensive techniques are merely castles in the air.

Turning her head, Lu Yuling stood behind Zhuge Xiang in a white dress, the hem of her skirt slightly lifted, resembling a pure white lotus, shimmering with brilliance. Her exquisite and stunning beauty was like a beautiful jade illuminated by moonlight, making it difficult for one to gaze directly at her.

The battles of Qi Nourishing Realm practitioners are extremely perilous. Although they have comprehended Qi strength, their physical bodies are not significantly stronger than those of ordinary individuals who have not grasped Qi strength. While Qi strength enhances their offensive capabilities, it does not substantially improve their resistance to damage. Therefore, it is impossible for Qi Nourishing Realm practitioners to use their bodies as bait in combat.

Calming his excited emotions and positioning himself properly, Zhuge Xiang discerned the direction and headed towards the Cangwu Pavilion. With one hundred thousand disciples, although there was a one-year deadline, it was natural that not all disciples would break through exactly after one year. Therefore, some simple cultivation methods were all placed in the Cangwu Pavilion. As long as the disciples who had comprehended the Qi energy were able to go there to learn freely. Of course, to avoid overreaching, the Shura Sect has a clear regulation that each realm's cultivation can only involve learning two martial arts within the sect.

Among the one hundred thousand disciples who practiced, there were at least several thousand who could ultimately become formal disciples, if not one thousand. Moreover, the formal disciples of the Shura Sect are said to number three hundred thousand. I have only just obtained the qualification to become a formal disciple; my journey of cultivation has only just begun, and the real effort will come in the future.

Defeating enemies to gain experience directly enhances one's cultivation level, and it is even possible to obtain items like the Steel Secret Medicine, which seems to materialize out of nothing. In Zhuge Xiang's view, the super game system is already a remarkably powerful entity. However, the fact that this skill point can allow him to instantly learn a martial art is beyond Zhuge Xiang's imagination. It is important to note that to initially comprehend a martial art and reach the stage of having a preliminary understanding, one would typically need to undergo months of arduous training.

It seems you have indeed grasped the essence of Qi, but I advise you not to practice the Bloodthirsty Technique. Although it is powerful, over eighty fellow disciples have already died this year due to its practice. Just as Zhuge Xiang was carefully examining the Bloodthirsty Technique, a crisp and familiar voice sounded from behind him.

Although it was only in the last few days of the one-year term that he made a breakthrough, the understanding of vital energy he gained during his battle with the book was sufficient to make his weight comparable to those disciples who had comprehended vital energy several months prior

The legendary founder of the Shura Sect was once merely a person of low talent in the cultivation world. While others could advance one level of cultivation in a year, he required three to five years. If others could comprehend a martial art in a month, he might need half a year. Such a person was destined for mediocrity; however, the opposite turned out to be true. By chance, the founder of the Shura Sect offended someone of greater strength. In the midst of a great battle, he broke through, and thereafter, his progress was unstoppable. In just five hundred years, he reached the pinnacle of the cultivation world, earning the title of a rare combat genius seen once in ten thousand years. He engaged in no fewer than ten thousand battles, growing stronger with each fight, thriving on warfare.

It is precisely for this reason that the Shura Sect's reverence for combat is unmatched by any other sect. Similarly, those who can achieve breakthroughs during battle are regarded as exceptionally valued talents within the Shura Sect

Ding, you have discovered the skill book "Qingbo Palm". It requires a cultivation level of Qi Nourishing Stage 1 and 1 skill point. Would you like to learn it

Regarding the cultivation methods of Qi energy, Zhuge Xiang glanced at them but did not take note. With the possession of a super game system, Zhuge Xiang was well aware that the fastest way to enhance his strength was through combat, continuously fighting to gain experience

The Bloodthirst Technique is a secret art that activates one's own essence and energy, and it can easily cause a person's consciousness to become blurred and filled with aggression. Due to the difficulty in controlling its intensity, many disciples lose their awareness during cultivation, leading to the complete depletion of their internal essence. Although it is the most powerful martial art in the Hidden Martial Pavilion, each generation sees dozens, even hundreds, of disciples perish during cultivation. The number of those who can successfully cultivate the Bloodthirst Technique is extremely rare. Looking at the Bloodthirst and the accompanying illustrations in Zhuge Xiang's hands, Lu Yuling carefully introduced it to him.

The Asura Sect represents a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity for him, and the vital energy is the only passport. Fortunately, today he has finally succeeded, clearly feeling the vital energy coursing through his meridians. Zhuge Xiang is immensely excited; the emergence of vital energy not only signifies that he has seized this opportunity, but also that he has truly stepped into the world of cultivators.

The Cangwu Pavilion is not very large, measuring approximately seven to eight zhang in circumference. The number of people inside is also limited, primarily consisting of those seeking experience in cultivating their vital energy. After all, one can only learn one martial art at a time. As for breaking through to the fifth level of the Qi Nourishing Realm within a year to obtain the qualification to cultivate a second martial art, such an extraordinary talent is likely impossible.

A training period of one year, with the understanding of energy only realized in the last ten days, may not be considered particularly impressive from the perspective of the Shura Sect. However, the ability to break through during combat carries a different significance.

Qi energy, for the one hundred thousand disciples of the Shura Sect, represents their common pursuit. Zhuge Xiang believes that his desire for Qi energy is no less than that of anyone else. Coming from a background of poverty, witnessing the senseless murder of an old beggar, the fragility of life has made the young Zhuge Xiang acutely aware of the importance of strength. Thus, his aspiration to become someone extraordinary is exceedingly strong.

He actually broke through during the battle; could this be what the sect refers to as a genius in combat... Below the training arena, the few spectators widened their eyes, filled with envy, but more so with shock. They understood that those who could achieve breakthroughs in battle were more likely to gain the sect's attention

Ghost Step, Zhuge Xiang felt a stir of emotions. Previously, when he clashed with Li Bin, Zhuge Xiang deeply understood the awkward situation of being unable to grasp the corner of his opponent's clothing.

Looking at these three martial arts, Zhuge Xiang found it difficult to make a decision in a short time, as each had its own merits. Particularly the Bloodthirst Technique, which offers a comprehensive enhancement of abilities. Although the initial improvement may seem mediocre, as this martial art is practiced more deeply, it will become extremely powerful. From a long-term perspective, its value far exceeds that of the other martial arts in the Hidden Martial Arts Pavilion.

"Sister Lu, do you know anything about this Bloodthirsty Technique?" Despite having spent a few days together, Zhuge Xiang was still somewhat entranced by Lu Yuling's charm. However, he quickly regained his composure and asked. For him, the primary goal was to enhance his own strength; beyond that, he had no other thoughts.

The Shura Sect is a martial arts-oriented faction, a world of practitioners filled with countless talents. Some possess a profound understanding of martial arts, others are endowed with unique physiques and bloodlines, while some experience a naturally accelerated growth in their cultivation. However, when it comes to the type of talent that is most valued in the Shura Sect, it is undoubtedly the combat genius

Just as Zhuge Xiang opened the martial arts manual of the Qingbo Palm, a sudden mechanical system prompt echoed in his mind, causing him to pause slightly

While it is certainly gratifying to comprehend the essence of Qi, it is naturally not something Zhuge Xiang enjoys, standing on the training ground like a monkey for others to observe. He did not even glance at Li Bin and left the training ground directly. Such an injured disciple will have someone from the Shura Sect come to take him for treatment.

Skill Points? Zhuge Xiang knows about this. Just after defeating Li Bin, when he comprehended the Qi energy breakthrough, the system notified him that he had gained a skill point. However, Zhuge Xiang did not know what this skill point was for. Now he understands that by consuming this single skill point, he seems to be able to learn the Qingbo Palm.

Having comprehended the essence of Qi, Zhuge Xiang felt a surge of joy within, yet he quickly calmed his emotions, for he understood that the road ahead was still long
