Wulin : Martial Heroes

Chapter 26: Other Skill

Other Skills is a Skill that is gained by practicing certain martial arts and other miscellaneous skill

Sometimes these skills complement martial art training. Other times, it is more like an auxiliary skill.

The price for the ranking up of the Other Skill is different also different

It is cheaper than the other ranking up of other skill but if Li Xin wanted to raise the Other Skill level to the grandmaster rank it requires a lot of points

All of his Other Skill was ranked up to Master realm. When Li Xin first learn his first sword art, he got a skill called Sword Proficiency

He immediately raises it to Master realm and since then, if it’s about sword, he could easily master it.

Then there is also [Dagger Proficiency]. This one he bought from the system store and it is very useful when he is hunting small creatures as his flying dagger would usually strike true

Of course, it is also very useful in battle. He could use sword and use dagger, making Li Xin a walking weapon.

And the fact that he is in the master rank using dagger when he attacks there is rarely any misses.

Not only it is accurate it is also very powerful and lethal. If you could not evade it usually it would kill anyone struck by LI Xin dagger.

Li Xin of course had never tired it in a human before but there a boar that chase after him. he uses dagger and throws it without looking to the boar.

The dagger flew strong and pierce that boar head leaving a thin straight line in the middle of its forehead where the dagger enters and there is a straight line on the back of the boar head.

He uses one dagger to pierce through the boar head. His expertise with the dagger enables him to attack with such accuracy and power.

When he reaches Master level, the feeling of the dagger in his hand is like the extension of his arm

He also learns [Palm Attack Proficiency] [Internal Energy Proficiency] and [Axe Proficiency]. These skills are mostly related to martial arts.

Even though Li Xin himself had no Palm skill by learning the Palm Attack proficiency when he does attack with his palm it still contains a trace of martial skill that is guided by the natural heart.

It is also because he wanted to learn Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm later

As for Internal Energy Proficiency, it is the reason why even with such a low level inner energy skill, Li Xin could easily break through to One with the World power level in just almost a week

But even these skill has limit.

He needs to change his inner energy practice if he wanted his inner energy to be more powerful. There is a limit to the effectiveness of a basic inner energy skill.

Other than that, he also has [Builder] skill.

Craftsman is already helpful enough but with Builder skill it makes him able to have such a prodigious skill in building houses.

He could even build a stone house if he had the resources.

This is one of the skill that Li Xin had bought from the system store. When he learns it all kinds of blueprint of building enter his mind and since then he could easily build all kinds of building and structure

But there is no need to build so many things in this place since it is just a temporary place. It is one of the skills that he believes he needs to survive in the wilderness.

He could build shelters and camp

He also bought a few skills that have relations with martial skill. He also bought [Spear Proficiency] in the system store.

Even though he did not use spear and he did not have spear skill, he just bought it since he believes that it would not be bad to learn more type of weapon in advance

So other than Spear, he also bought [Whip Proficiency] from the system store. Then there is also the [Body Training Proficiency] and [Swimming Proficiency]

For Body Training, it is to help him in body training skills. Even though he did not buy any body training martial arts yet, he is already had a plan to strengthen his body.

As for swimming proficiency, it is because Li Xin believe he would need it. And when he reaches master, he also found out that having the skill enables him to breathe for a long time under water.

And he could even move freely under water. One of the things he did is training under water. With the water acting like a resistance, Li Xin realizes that training underwater had a beneficial effect to him.

He finally reviewed all of his Other Skill. Unlike other skills, the Other Skill could not be combined.

He then looks at the meridian. Because of his status as Tianmai, he had opened all twelve of his meridian.

In the status window for Meridian in cultivation, there is the Seeking Method for Qijing Ba Mai

Li Xin did not pay attention to his meridian before. Maybe, because it was easy for him to gain it, he did not pay much attention to it.

That is a pity indeed.

He had opened the [Qi Gathering in Sea of Energy] which is the first meridian that needs to be opened to access Qi and could truly be considered a martial artist

Then he opened the Taiyin Lung Channel of Hand

The benefit of opening Taiyin Lung Channel of Hand is that increases his stamina. Then he opened Yangming Large Intestine Channel of Hand

It widens the meridian and making it easier to access Qi

Then it is the Shaoyin Heart Channel of Hand. It is the meridian where the Qi flows. Opening it boosted the recovery of one internal energy and boosted recovery ability. 

Then the body opens the Shaoyang Sanjiao Channel of Hand

This meridian controls the strength of the body so Li Xin should cultivate this meridian carefully and protect it

While he did not have to cultivate it because of his body special physique, he does need to protect it.

If there is a master who knows powerful Dianxue skills and this master managed to immobilize, restrict, or break this meridian, Li Xin strength could dissipate like water.

Of course, the skill of Dianxue that could abolish one strength or inner energy is not something that is usual and common.

Li Xin sighed.

‘I have too little information about the world’ It is at this moment that he wanted to go down the mountain and enter Jianghu. But, he already made plans.

And since he had already determined to try to follow this plan, there is no harm in waiting for a few more days.

Then he looks back at the Meridian window and look at the Taiyang Small Intestine Channel of Hand

This meridian combines with main meridian of Yin channels, it can solidify the practitioner stamina, and strengthen the resistance to external force. 

Even though this is the benefit of this meridian, Li Xin had never had to overexert this channel because there was rarely a time where he was hit.

His lightness skill usually made him very evasive when being attacked. It is hard to even scratch his clothes what else trying to attack him directly.

The three-foot sword is like the three-foot radius of death., Those who enter that radius should prepare to lose their head.

He also had opened the Shaoyin Kidney Channel of Foot

It is one of the three Yin channels of foot, it cooperates with Shao Yin channels of hand, to increase one breath and regulating Qi

Then there is the Jueyin (Faint Yin) Liver Channel of Foot

This is also one of the three Yin channels of foot, cooperates with Yueyin meridian of hand to increase one spirit and focus.

And then there is the Taiyin Spleen Channel of Foot

This meridian could be considered as the leader of the three Yin channels. This meridian enables an increase in one internal energy

Then there is Shaoyang Gallbladder Channel of Foot

 Cultivating this meridian increase one speed and agility and bring an all about improvement to movement ability.

There is the Yangming Stomach Channel of Foot

Most of those who practices in Yang related technique is recommend to open this meridian as it is one of three Yang channel of foot and can increase one dexterity

Of course, Li Xin did not have a choice since his body forcefully opens all of his twelve meridian in one go. Of course, while it is recommended to open this meridian if you are practicing Yang related technique, even though you don’t, it is still required to opens this.

Li Xin did not know much about whether one could reach grandmaster level if they did not open all twelve but he doesn't think that to reach grandmaster, one needs to open all of their twelve meridians.

It helps of course but he doesn't think that if one had to be grandmaster, they had to open all twelve.

It is because of one of the stories he had heard when he was playing the game and resting in a tavern

There are many paths in the martial way. There is the easy path and the proven way. And there is also the hard but untrekked trail.

Just because it is untrekked and no one had walked the trial did not mean that there is a dead end.

As long as one did not walk it to the end, you will not know whether it is a dead end or a road to the peak

Author Note

Dianxue- Both Wuxia and actual Chinese martial arts integrate the study of acupuncture points into their techniques. Dianxue is correspondingly the art of striking such crucial areas of the human body. Executed precisely, dianxue can immobilize or weaken one’s opponent. Conversely, dianxue could also be used to heal, to contain the spread of poison, or to enhance one’s neigong.
