2024-10-29 19:42:56Li 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 much
Li 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 problem
When 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 Dragon Subduing palm is an exquisite skill. But this world must also have their own supreme skills of martial arts and who could say that their martial skill could not break his supreme martial skill
There are too many uncertainties so he could not just pin his hope onto one skill
If he is to raise each stroke to grandmaster rank, it would require 560 martial skill point each
Add that with eighteen strokes and it would require him to use 10,080 martial skill points. He did not have that many points to begin with.
Of course, if he converted his lightness skill point, then he might be able to make all of the strokes of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm grandmaster rank.
But, there is still a lot of use and he also had to put some reserve away for some rainy day.
And he also knows that for supreme skill like this, the prices might vary as he masters more stroke.
He got this information when he reads the terms of the use of skill points.
Of course, for most of the time, the price of the points needed for martial skill point and internal martial technique is usually the same
The only exception is when it deals with Supreme martial skill.
At least this Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm could be rank up using points and not like One Sword where it depends on his comprehension of the sword.
Comprehension is an intangible and unquantifiable thing unlike the Eighteen Drago Subduing Palm.
But it is also because of that Li Xin believes that One Sword swordplay, if mastered would be one of a kind swordplay.
For example, The Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm could be said something that Li Xin knows from novels.
But the description of the One Sword swordplay is a sword art from another world and he never read there is such a heavenly swordplay before.
If he masters it, it might not be worse than Dugu Nine Swords and it might surpass it. This is why he is reluctant to use all of his martial skill point to Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm
And there is also his plan which is to master an inner skill later. If he really gets his hand on that manual, it would be kind of a problem if he did not have any points to use to rank it up.
If what he had heard about that manual is right, then it is a supreme inner skill.
But he does feel a little odd to just rank up only a few strokes.
‘Haish. Most of my skill is not as detailed as this. Maybe, this is what is meant to be a supreme martial skill. Even each stroke had to be mastered to grandmaster rank before I could raise the entre level of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm’ he thought to himself.
Li Xin is accustomed to immediately raise his skill to grandmaster rank. That is the reason why even though he only has two skills in the past week, there is rarely any threat to his life.
Because each of his move was like a move that had been perfected for decades. The foundation of his skill is very sturdy.
Even his basic sword moves could overwhelm two rate martial artist. Even if he did not have any inner energy practice equivalent to the likes of the great sect, with his current skill, he could stull survive in the treacherous Jianghu
The solution to this problem of using the martial skill point is very simple but it fills Li Xin heart with some kind of anxiety.
He likes to rank it all in one go but he also has to bow to circumstances. And he could not exactly hope that much from the exchange of points with the system
It is not really an equivalent exchange if he converts his lightness skill points to martial skill points.
Maybe it would be divided by one third but if he is lucky, it would only be divided by half
‘I had to choose’ he thought to himself. He looks at the strokes and then decided to choose the Dragon is Seen in the Fields stroke
The moment he thought of putting the point, 560 martial skill points were drained from his status window and the stroke raised to grandmaster rank almost immediately
Li Xin could feel that there is an information that is about to stream into his mind so he slowly closes his eyes
Then he is now back in that dream.
Appearing in front of him is his shadow self.
This is the initiating stroke of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.
He saw his shadow self, thrust his palm forward, an amazing burst of energy is unleashed, the wind roars like a dragon roaring toward the world
Li Xin had already gained understanding of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing palm when he learns it and he knows that this stroke is the strongest of the eighteen Dragon Subduing palms and that is why he learns it first.
‘The Dragon is Seen in the Field’ Li Xin could understand a bit why this stroke is called as such as the understanding of the stroke deepens.
good things will happen upon sighting a dragon in the paddy fields
dragons are an auspicious sign due to their divine nature, while farmers work in the fields and so, the sighting of a dragon is believed to bring them an abundant and safe harvest for the year.
Just as its namesake implies, utilizing this stroke alone will bring doom (and possible destruction) upon an opponent (hence good fortune for the practitioner).
The ground seems to tremble and the air constricted, the roar of the Dragon echoes all over and then Li Xin opens his eyes.
He is now still in the yard, he opens his feet and then thrust his palm forward.
He could feel his inner energy is drained almost half as the sound of dragon roaring echoes all over his hut and the tree in front of him exploded into pieces.
Li Xin pants after just executing one moves. He could feel his whole arm is throbbing and he look at the tree in front of him.
He is tired but he is smiling. The thick tree trunk exploded into pieces, leaving only the lower part of the tree.
‘Powerful and forceful, worthy of its name!’ he thought to himself. He then regulates his breathing and after a while he looks at The Dragon Soars in the Sky.
He did not hesitate to pour another 560 points to the skill and like before he closes his eyes and like before there is a shadow self
The Dragon in the Heavens will be able to spot men of greatness below it’ this kind of understanding suddenly enter his mind
This stroke is the second in the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm, the dragon, from its elevated position, will have an overview on the affairs of the world hence being able to keep track of mortal ongoing and spot men of great deeds and virtue.
He saw his shadow-self fighting an enemy. The enemy who is a shadow enemy thrust a sword forward and Li Xin shadow-self jump onto the air
‘A stroke that could be initiated from high ground or a jump’ he thought to himself
Just as how a dragon may ride on the fame and reputation of the great men it spots to enhance its status, this stroke draws on the strength of both its practitioner and the impact from the fall to deliver a forceful and unrecoverable blow on the adversary’
Li Xin quickly understood the essence of this second stroke.
And the moment he understood it he was back in the real world. Opening his eyes, his eyes shines with wisdom
‘Hyargh!’ he suddenly makes a move
He kicks the ground beneath his feet, the ground crack and the crack stretches forward, creating a web like pattern on the ground,
The force launches him into the air and then as he reached ten feet high, he pointed his palm down and his body follow

‘I am impatient to leave this forest and enter Jianghu. I could not care less about who else in the mountain.
