2024-10-29 19:42:56The Dragon is Seen in the Fields, The Dragon Soars in the Sky, The Swan Descends Gracefully and finally Diving into the Abyss
The stroke for the Diving into Abyss, it is a stroke that overpower the opponent
Overpowering 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 Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm is a demanding skill.
If Li Xin body is strong and his inner energy is vigorous he might not be this tired. Li Xin takes a deep breath every few second, regulating his breathing
Fortunately, he had opened all of his meridian and each acupoint that he had opened give him a lot of benefit from stamina to the purity of his inner energy
If not, how could he execute the strokes from the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm even though he had probably the most basic inner energy skill.
He looks at his status window and he could see that he still had 2,900 martial skill point
‘I used it up a lot’ he mutters.
From 5700 points to only 2900 martial skill point. He blows almost three thousand martial skill point for just one martial art technique.
‘No wonder, the newbie gift is so generous’ he thought to himself. The system seems to know that he would surely use it a lot
At first, even Li Xin was surprised when he looks at the point needed to rank up and the huge amount of points that had been given by the novice gift pouch.
He thought he is like those protagonists who is blessed by the world
Pei!
It is nothing like that.
But now, he truly experiences how black hearted this system really is.
He also knows that if he practices his skill, it would be lucky for him to gain ten points a day. Of course, lightness skill and Life skill is a bit different than martial skill points
Lightness skill and Life Skill is a bit easier to get.
He could farm at least hundreds of points for those two stat skill in a day. Lightness skill seems to track his method of using the lightness skill and the distance travelled
As for Life Skill, it tracks what life skill he had used.
For example, if he farms, from putting the seed to the seed blooming and then giving fruit or produce, all of it would be added to his Life Skill points.
Of course, the points given would decrease if he keeps doing the same thing.
After all, he could not spam making chili fields all over the forest. Chili is the easiest thing for him to plant.
There is also cabbages and other fast sprouting produce.
If he could do that, in just a couple of years he could have unlimited points.
This system is stingy and black hearted.
How could it allow such a loophole?
But for martial points, this stat is the most important
since it relates heavily to his improvement of martial art and help his survival the most. Yet, it is this stat that is the hardest to gain.
Meditate for a few hours and he would get one point.
That is how hard it is to get even one martial skill points if he relied on training alone.
Of course, he also blames that his inner energy technique is a basic one. That could not be avoided since it is really a basic one.
That might the reason why even if he meditates for a few hours he would only get one point of martial skill point
But this does not extend only to his inner energy practice. He had two sword skill. He once practices the sword for one hour straight.
The system had explained in the log that to gain martial skill point, or any other stat points, he needs to practice.
Either do that or take quest which would usually give a higher yield of points.
Since Li Xin is in the forest and he is not intending to go down the mountain just yet, there is only a few quest that he could take.
He himself does not know what could trigger the quest notification. But when he is not doing any quest, he does try to practice
There was this one time that he practices his sword. He practices for one hour straight and what is the result?
The result is one martial skill point. If he is lucky he would either get two or three martial skill points.
Then does he need to practice 24 hours to get 24 martial skill points? This shows how hard it is to gain martial skill points.
It is absurd for him to practice 24 hours a day to get 24 martial skill points.
Other than the fact that he would not have been able to do anything else, there is also the fact that his body could not withstand such a work
No matter how strong his body is and how much stamina he has, that stamina isn’t limitless. His body also felt tired
He still needs to eat, still need to do other things and need to sleep to rest. He could not just train all day long just for a meagre 24 martial skill points.
Because he knows how hard it is to gain even one martial skill points, he was shocked when he opens the novice gift bag and possess so many martial skill points.
He thought that having all of this martial skill point would be enough for him to do many things and he would find himself wanting.
But, he underestimated the use of the martial skill point and how much he had to spend to survive.
There is the sword art he had learned that also needed to be rank up.
Then there is also One Sword skill that he had modified from a basic sword skill until it reached supreme swordplay technique.
That also cost a lot.
There is also points that needed to be used to raise his power level.
Each power level itself has five ranks, each rank equal to one year of inner energy.
Right now, he had thirty years of inner energy.
Which means he ranks up thirty time for power level alone
There are also Other Skills that he needed to rank up. He had to do it because it is not easy to survive in this forest.
If he is someone who had prior knowledge of survival skill it might not be that bad. But he is not. And so, the only assurance that he could have of surviving this forest is to pour his skill points to skill that is survival based.
There is also life skill that could not be ignored.
It might not raise his martial art level but it does help him makes a living
There is a reason why it is called Life Skill. Because it is a skill that allows you to live
And before he knows it, he only has 5700 martial skill points left.
Still, to him, that is a lot. Of course, he could not have expected that just one supreme martial skill is enough to drain almost all five thousand point of his martial skill point
And if he really wanted to master the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm, if he wanted to master all the strokes his martial skill point is not enough
‘What a joke!’ he thought to himself. This is him complaining.
If the system has a corporeal body, Li Xin might try to hack it. Of course, Li Xin also knows there is probably no one in this wide world that have progressed as fast as he is.
‘Haish. My system is heartless’ he thought to himself.
It would be a lie if he said he was not surprised of how easy it was to burn his martial skill points.
Most skill that he had learned did not require him to rank up all of the strokes or moves. But some do.
Of course, there are some that did not have such requirement.
But those that does not have such requirement turns out to be more difficult like the One Sword skill which requires his own comprehension.
That kind of abstract method is harder for him than a normal use of points
At least even though he used up all the points, he knew he could gather it after a while. But as for comprehension, how could he rely on this unreliable thing.
Instead he much prefers skills like Eighteen Dragon Subduing palm even though he had to use more point.
