He stops thinking about things he could not change and instead focused on what he should be doing right now
he looks at his storage bag. His storage bag only had forty slot. Most of the items in his storage bag is like Sharp Sword and pills and while it did not have many slot left available, it is still enough for him
There are many things that he puts in there.
There is quest rewards in it, his craft items, and even herbs that he had plucked
If he wanted to upgrade the bag, he needs to pay 8 Ding and 880 Liang. It is not that he did not have the money to upgrade the bag
It is that there is no need for him to upgrade it at the moment
Finally, he had reviewed all of the stats. And now, he is ready.
‘It is time to buy some martial technique from the system store’
Li Xin opens the system store and he looks at the numerous martial arts. Some of the martial arts have high prices.
Some requires his power level to be higher.
But as he is now One with the World most of the skills in the system store could be learned by him.
He first checks around the sword skills and technique. It was dazzling. But he sighed
‘Damn, some of these are really expensive’
But, there is also a smile on his face.
Fortunately, I had a lot of money. His eyes look toward one of the skill book in the system store
he saw one of the manual he most admired in wuxia story. One of them is that famous swordplay.
Though the name changes a bit.
The name of the swordplay in the store is the Nine Swords of the Divine.
He is quite sure that this is the Dugu Nine Sword Moves. When he first saw it in the store, not only the price deters him, the buy option is also dim.
But right now, Li Xin see it lights up like a Christmas tree.
He could buy it but he hesitates.
After all, he already had swordplay skill. And he believes that just by, modifying the skill, he could raise the level of his swordplay. And he also has one sword.
Like One Sword, the Nine Swords of the Divine is a supreme swordplay skill.
He did not even understand how to unleash the One Sword skill, what if he bought Nine Sword of the Divine and he also had to understand it by himself?
‘But Dugu Nine Swords….’ he thought to himself.
Then he shakes his head.
There is no need to be too greedy he thought to himself.
He then looks at the Palm skill. There is Three Waves Palm and other skill but that is not the palm skill he wanted to buy
Instead, he looks at one of the shining golden palm book in the system store
‘Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm’ he said to himself and he was smiling. The price is one thousand Ding. That is a lot of money.
100 Wen is equal to 1 Liang. A thousand Liang is equal to one Ding. And one thousand Ding is equal to 1 gold.
But, he did not feel that it is a waste.
He touches the buy button and the money immediately drained from his status window. He feels a bit hurt.
After all, with one thousand Ding he could also be considered a rich man. If he goes down the mountain, he is a rich man.
He could even make some business and change this dirty money of his into clean money. If this is a peaceful world, Li Xin believe he could use this money to become powerful
Since this money appears out of nowhere, he would buy many assets.
But maybe this is a way to balance this world rules and laws. When he got money, he got it from the system.
If he did not use the money on buying skills from the system, then this world might be rampant with inflation.
Of course this is just his theory and he is still not sure whether this is really the case.
He did not immediately learn the skill and instead bought another skill which is the Three Wave Palms
This is because he fears that if he learns Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm, it would be like the One Sword technique.
And he could not use it.
Since that is the case he should be cautious and bought another palm skill.
After all, he has two sword skills. It is only fair for him to have two palm skills
The Three Waves Palm skill is not that pricey. It is basic skill and it only cost him around 400 Liang
He could buy it using his martial point but there is no need to waste his martial points.
He then opens the description of the Three Waves Palm
>>
[Three Waves Palm]
By imbuing internal energy onto one palm, this technique would create powerful waves in someone body when the palm hits.
The stronger the practitioner internal energy, the lethal this technique became. The internal energy would create vibrations that would disrupt the enemy balance and create internal injury that is hard to heal quickly
>>
He immediately learns it and suddenly there is knowledge entering his mind.
When he was practicing sword moves, there would be a shadow of himself showing how to move the sword.
But for this skill, he saw a shadow of himself sitting cross legged. He knows that he is in his mind again. This is like a dream.
He saw his shadow body become transparent and there is the energy in his body circulating. It shows him how to circulate the energy in his body and there is more and more knowledge entering his mind on how to focus his inner energy.
‘The inner energy drives into palm, the waves rumbles, the strikes unleashed, the Three Waves breaks the shore’ he mutters to himself as he gains understanding on how to unleash the Three Waves Palm.
This kind of method is hard for anyone. But with the system, something that would take him month to understand, and years to master, only takes him a few second.
He then opens his eyes. He is still on the lazy chair but then he got up and instead went to the yard.
He then unleashes his palm the way he remembers it.
BOOOM! There is a sound coming from his thrusted palm, the air around his palm seems to be distorted a bit and Li Xin could see waves in the air.
He looks at his current martial skill point. He still has a lot and he thinks there is a need to raise this skill to the Grandmaster rank. Only if he ranks it to the grandmaster level that he could modify the skill
To raise the rank, the price of raising it is the same as raising internal martial skill
Beginner Required 10 Skill Points. Apprentice Required 50 Skill Points. Expert Required 100 Skill Points. Master Required 150 Skill Points and Grandmaster Required 250 Skill Points
Of course, it requires martial skill points. He then uses 560 martial skill points to raise his Three Waves Palm into grandmaster level and he was back in the dream
He saw himself using the Three Wave Palm. He could see clearly when to open the Palm.
And when to close it. Open, waves are formed, closed, the waves are constrained.
Li Xin could see his shadow self is fighting other shadows. This is to show him how to use the Three Waves Palm.
‘So, that’s how it is’ He could see that there are many ways to perform the Three Waves Palm. One of the ability of the Three Waves Palm is that he did not even need to initiate contact with the enemy.
When he saw his shadow thrust his palm forward, a wave seems to be blasted off from the shadow palm. The only way to notice was to see the space around it
It appears like the space is bending. Like when a heat wave occurs.
‘A long range attack’ the waves hits and the shadow enemy flew backward.
Like a long range attack using internal energy, the range of the waves attack depend on one internal energy
The higher and purer the inner energy, the longer the range of attack.
Taking a step forward, strike the palm forward, the body and the moves act in harmony, in accordance, the force is unleashed.
When moving the palm, moves the feet according to the movement of the hand. The waves hit the shore, the land trembles and the wind roars.
Li Xin also began imitating the moves and in front of him is shadow enemies.
One of the shadow attacks him, he thrust his palm forward, the distance between them is three feet but the energy of his palm shoot forward.
It hits the shadow enemy chest and the shadow enemies burst into motes of light.
The moment Li Xin understood, the shadow enemy in front of him dissipated.
Instead, Li Xin look back at his own shadow projection fighting the enemy. Since he ranks up straight to grandmaster level, Li Xin had to understand more.
‘The body moves in accordance to the movement of the palm, the palm attack become powerful. Using the meridian of the hands, the force of the palm become even more powerful’
When being attacked from behind, dash forward without hesitation and tackle it with the palm.
The Three Waves Palm is simple. Li Xin understood it and he smiles
The Three Waves Palm is simple. Li Xin understood it and he smilesBut simple did not mean weak.Executed in the perfect circumstances, it would be a lethal technique.The important thing to know about the Three Waves Palm is that the three waves of energy must not be same.The energy come from the body, and when it is unleashed it must have different kind of waves of power when it is being executed.Weak, strong weak. Or strong, weak, strong. Or strong, strong, weak. Or weak, weak, strong. Combine, mix and match, attack according to circumstances.There are no useful or useless moves in martial arts. There are only people who can’t use them properly.This skill could shine if the one using it could understand the intricacies of using this force. At times strong, at times weak, pushing forward, showing weakness, forcing the enemy to also use unconventional means.It is called Three Waves Palm but it is not three strokes of palm attack. Instead, the waves refer to the energy.The moves
Li Xin sigh held many meaning and feelings. Because he knew that it is not easy to gain martial skill points.It did not just fall down from the sky. But he also knew that the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm is a powerful skill and if he mastered it, he probably could walk sideways in Jianghu without worrying too muchLi Xin of course is not arrogant enough to think that he would be invincible if he mastered the skill but he is confident enough, that at least in the junior generation, there is not many that could fight him or kill him.Li Xin also knows that he did not know much about this world. Whether it had changed since he played the game or it is still the same.Even if the world is the same as the game he plays, there is still one problemWhen Li Xin was playing the game, he was just a disciple of a small sect.He could not really understand the power level of the people in Jianghu. If he is lucky he would hear some stories about grandmasters.In other words, maybe Eighteen Drago
He looks like a diving eagle, his palms outstretched and the sound of dragon roaring could be heardThe wind went mad, the space distorted, a powerful heat seems to emanate out of Li Xin palm‘HAH!’ he screams as he unleashes the palm strike to the ground, his white robe flutters like there is raging wind around him, his hair waves wildly in the air, the heat around him seems to condense and distorted space.As he unleashes the second stroke, the ground which is of six feet distance from his position in the air depressed three inches deep below and just right before LI Xin falls down to the ground, he changes his direction and landed gracefully back in the original position before he jumpedHe looks at the ground in the distance and he frowned‘I lack a bit of the forceful inner energy’Even though he had recover most of his inner energy earlier, he notices that this second stroke requires great internal strength.
The Dragon is Seen in the Fields, The Dragon Soars in the Sky, The Swan Descends Gracefully and finally Diving into the AbyssThe stroke for the Diving into Abyss, it is a stroke that overpower the opponentOverpowering one's opponent is an important criterion in battle.The martial artist that learns the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm and uses this stroke, through his presence and awe, will be able to invoke fear and submission in an adversary. Therefore, half the battle is already won even before it takes place.Li Xin then takes a break. Instead of going back to his lazy chair he sat down on the open space of the yard and takes a deep breath.He did not realize it when he was doing all of those movement but his entire body is sweating.He even smells a bit. Just not long ago, he takes a bath. This time his ranking up is even more intense than before.No doubt that this has something to do with the skill that he had ranked up. The Ei
He shakes his head trying to push it all from his mind.‘It is better to regain back my inner energy’ he thought to himself.He continues regulating his inner energy and throws out any useless thoughts.His chest heaved up and down and in fifteen minutes, he had raises a bit of his inner energy.Li Xin opens his eyes and shakes his head‘This is too terrible. My inner energy skill is too terrible’ he thought to himself. Of course, he did not expect that five minutes would restore all of his inner skill.But he could feel that there is only a bit of inner energy that have been restored. He did not even expect one forth.But it is less than that. He almost drained all thirty years of his inner energy. All he could restore is around five days of inner energy.‘Haish’ he could only sigh at the effect‘Still- ‘he said as he looks at the status window of the Eighteen Dragon Subdu
‘I am impatient to leave this forest and enter Jianghu. I could not care less about who else in the mountain. All I care about right now is accumulating points!’ he grumbles under his breath.He of course had the idea of searching that person who attacked him from behind.But thinking about it again, why does he have to do it?His objective after all is not to seek that person.Of course, he could probably get a quest if he began searching for that person but if he comes down the mountain and interact with the people in Jianghu, he would also get quest.And probably it is less dangerous. Li Xin is not a coward. After all, with his skill, he also had confidence.But, is it worth his time?As long as that person did not attack him or hinder him, Li Xin do not have the time. And was there any need to create enmity‘Wait a minute?’ That person already created enmity with him by throwing that needle. Bu
As for upgrading the rank or buying new skill, he decided to do it in the evening or at night. He would let his mind rest for a bit. He already has too much information poured into his mind and he ought to take it slow a bit.It seems that his mental energy is not that strong yet.He swipes the status window with his hand and then he enters back his house. He then eats some snack made of meat something like a beef jerky.This time he did not want to bathe in the tub.The sun is shining bright overhead so he wanted to swim in the river. There is a small stream of river, deep enough for him to submerged himself and large enough for him to swim aroundThe ancient world seems to be more hospitable to life.The air is so clear that just by inhaling it, his headache feel a bit lightened. If this is a normal headache, he would surely be cured of it in just a couple of minute.Maybe, it is also because this world is a bit different than his w
Even though, he is quite sure that person could not overpowered him, he always errs on the side of caution.He knows nothing about that person and actually there is not that much of an enmity between themIt would be different however if he seeks that person and then clashed with that person.Then whatever secrets that person is trying to cover up would be uncovered and as such, the inevitable conclusion is that they probably would have to fight each other till deathOf course like most of his thought this is the scenario he had think of in his mind.he is still anxious on whether he could survive in this world. There is still so many things he doesn’t knowThere are still many things that needs to be strengthened for him to truly be confident in walking in Jianghu. Right now, he only had four martial art skill.He had two swordplay skill which is the Sixteen Moves Swordplay and the One Sword swordplay. Of the two, one of them i
