Chapter 3, Elevation

Although this foundational skill is quite common, the conditions for practice are relatively stringent, requiring the use of expensive medicinal baths; otherwise, it may harm the body. Therefore, it is not attainable for ordinary families

Reid opened his eyes wide

Leida was drenched in sweat, his entire body feeling extremely uncomfortable. His skin alternated between bright red and dark purple, yet throughout this process, Leida could distinctly sense the various changes occurring within his body

He cannot afford to gamble

This is equivalent to the speed at which Lei Dao practices his foundational skills being twelve times that of others. Over a full thirty days, that amounts to three hundred sixty days, which is nearly one year.

One must not gamble. The minor achievements in the practice of internal energy have already proven ineffective in alleviating the condition. To spend another six months of life to enhance this practice is too risky. Perhaps there are other methods; yes, there must be other methods. I will gather martial arts that can strengthen the lungs or the internal organs, and then use the remaining lifespan to improve these skills, which may yield some results

Leidao's feelings are quite complex

Eagle Claw Kung Fu: Not yet initiated

Leidao marvels at the wonders of supernatural abilities. If only he could possess infinite lifespan, would he not be able to instantly become a top master, invincible in the world

Enhance the skills of youth

This also conforms to the principles of foundational skills. Moreover, this is under the condition that there are no errors in each practice session. In reality, if we add some incorrect practice methods and the time required for minor achievements.

Cough cough cough

Zhao's Long Fist: Not yet initiated

Indeed, Leidao's lifespan was reduced by a full month, and he simply vanished. However, his childlike skill progressed from the beginner stage to a minor achievement

This is what is meant by the saying "wealth in military prowess, poverty in literature"

The foundational skills of Xiao Cheng

Need to consume lifespan? Thirty days, that is one month's lifespan

Zhao's Long Fist: Not yet initiated

Leidao does not dare to gamble

My condition remains unchanged, and the practice of Tongzi Gong can only increase muscle and skin, enhancing my strength significantly, but tuberculosis is a disease of the lungs, and Tongzi Gong is of no use at all

Theoretically, it should be this way; however, when Leidou carefully sensed his body, his complexion suddenly turned a sickly shade of red.

It is important to note that Lei Dao is afflicted with pulmonary tuberculosis and is physically weak, yet now, having made some progress in his foundational training, he is surprisingly able to exhibit a strength that slightly surpasses that of an average person. How incredible is this?

In these memories, he seems to be practicing the fundamentals of martial arts frantically, with each movement being so standard, and he practices day and night, every moment, for a full month!

Leida could not wait any longer and focused his attention on the section about the child prodigy, and suddenly, a piece of information emerged in his mind

Meanwhile, some strange memories emerged in Leidao's mind

Leidao came to a halt, like a bucket of cold water suddenly poured over one's head

Even for some talented and capable individuals, it takes more than ten years to master the fundamentals to perfection

Iron Sand Palm: Not yet initiated

Liu's foot stamping: Not yet initiated

Just like Zhang Qinglong, in fact, he practiced for a full thirteen years in his foundational training before he barely reached a level of mastery

Despite Lei Dao's complex emotions, he quickly made a decision

No, there is still an opportunity. If Xiaocheng's foundational skills are insufficient, then how about further improvement

Consuming six months of life can enhance one's youthful skills

Originally, it was impossible for patients with pulmonary tuberculosis to succeed in martial arts, but with this miraculous ability, the impossible has become possible

Indeed, in the section for "Child's Skill," it has already changed to "Entry Level," and can be directly upgraded. This proves that Lei Dao's conjecture is correct

Moreover, the practice time cannot be lengthy; an average person can generally only practice for one hour each day. As for the Thunder Path, one can only practice for half an hour each day.

Lifespan: 1 year, 2 months, and 26 days

Eagle Claw Kung Fu: Not yet initiated

Leida is unclear, but he does not dare to gamble

Iron Sand Palm: Not yet initiated

In one year, an ordinary person can indeed achieve a certain level of proficiency in their foundational skills

The earlier expression of joy has long since vanished without a trace

Suddenly, his mind was in turmoil, and the illusory data before him seemed to blur. His entire body felt numb and tingly, and his skin was stiff as if it had been struck violently.

He is currently suffering from a serious illness, with only a little over one year of life remaining, and this "extraordinary ability" is actually obtained by exchanging lifespan for the enhancement of martial arts skills

Childhood Skill: First Level Accomplishment (Can be Enhanced)

Leidao made up his mind and silently recited in his heart

Leidao felt a surge of excitement within, gently clenching his fist, sensing an unprecedented strength. Perhaps it was far inferior to Zhang Qinglong, but it was indeed stronger than that of an average person

Severe coughing, accompanied by bloodstains, appeared on Lei Dao's hands

Especially the skin becomes extremely tough, even stronger in strength and endurance

However, as Leidou was preparing to advance, a piece of information appeared in his mind

While others require over ten years, Lei Dao, with the aid of his supernatural abilities, only needs half a year to master the skills of a young practitioner. However, can the mastery of these skills truly alleviate tuberculosis?

Name: Lei Dao (18 years old)

So that's how it is, my supernatural ability allows me to be in a constant state of training. Moreover, in an instant, the amount of lifespan consumed corresponds to the duration of martial arts practice, and the speed is more than ten times faster than others, even saving on some precious auxiliary materials, such as medicinal baths.

Reid's expression gradually darkened

Collecting martial arts that exercise the lungs or the five internal organs is clearly a better approach than recklessly gambling with the mere fourteen months of life that remain

After achieving a minor success in the practice of youth skills, one can attain a greater success. However, to further enhance this achievement, it surprisingly requires the expenditure of six months of one's lifespan. In other words, for an ordinary person to seek further improvement, it necessitates a full six years of practice

It is unclear how much time has passed, but the changes in Lei Dao's body gradually came to a halt. At this moment, he glanced at his physical data once again

Name: Lei Dao (18 years old)

Leidao deeply appreciates the various subtleties of the foundational skills, and in reality, he has no doubts left.

Childhood skills: Entry level (can be improved)

Consuming thirty days of life can enhance one's youthful skills

Lifespan: One year, one month, and twenty-six days

A month of life does not significantly impact him; regardless, he must give it a try

Raydao's eyes lit up

He now has approximately only fourteen months of life left. If he loses six months and his condition does not improve, he will only have a few months of life remaining

Liu's foot stamping: Not yet initiated

The training of the child skill has indeed been accomplished, having reached a minor success, yet it has not alleviated the condition of Lei Dao. Therefore, this attempt by Lei Dao has, in fact, already failed

These changes are all genuinely reflected in the body of Lei Dao

Leida's eyes were bloodshot, and he immediately focused his attention, preparing to enhance his skills once again.

The memory that Leidou had felt before was that of practicing the fundamentals of martial arts for twelve hours a day, every day, without any harm to the body; the only loss was thirty days of lifespan
