Chapter 09: Martial Technique
1615 Words
Li Xian could process the wolf fur in the normal way where he had to wait for it to dry off, clean it and then tanned it and then shape it into something like a wolf fur that could be uses as clothing.
To process by using the system, a liang is required.
He throws it to the system of course. He is cold now. Does he have to wait a few days before he could make a cloth? Then he has to learn other things to.
And that also means he has to buy more skill and use more of his skill points. It is best if he uses one liang to make himself a clothing made of wolf fur.
He throws six of them into the system and then he pays 6 Liang. In just a few minutes, the system gave him six wolf clothing.
He quickly ditches his old clothing and wear the clothing made of the wolf fur. The other he put it on the side
The System craftwork is really divine. It was like this is a high quality shirt. He thought to himself a she marvels at the shirt around his skin.
It is unfortunate that he could not store all of this in the System. And he did have enough money to buy a Storage Bag.
He then looks closer at his status window. Before the battle his martial skill points is 8770. But after the battle, it rises up to 10770.
It shot up to 2000 points.
It seems engaging in battle would increase martial skill points. Unlike most system in some fantasy story, this system did not tell him at all that his martial skill points had increased.
At least the System should do that so he would be more motivated.
If not for the fact that he really did learn things just by tapping on a book, he might have thought that this system interface is just his illusion.
The System did not give him any hints as it felt like he needs to figure out the rules by himself. He still did not have any martial arts technique.
He looks around the System Store. There is a lot of martial arts that he is unable to learn. Either it is because of his power level, or his meridians, there is a lot of things that he could not buy.
He checks around the basic martial arts that he could practice. He is searching around the swordplay categories.
He saw many swordplay that he just could not get his hand with.
It is like dangling a fish in front of cat. The cat se sit but unable to eat it. That kind of feeling of making one full of frustration, how could anyone bear it
‘Haish. You are just trying to torture me at this point, Lord System’
That is because 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 sure that is the Dugu Nine Sword Moves. But looking at the price and the fact that the buy option is dim, Li Xian could only look at it and could not even dream of buying it
Linghu Chong did not have to have a powerful internal energy to learn that technique from Feng Qinyang. Why could he not learn it?
He pushes the buy option many time on the buy button until a notification popped out
[Host should not take the shortcut in martial path. A building that is sturdy is built with strong foundation. Being hasty and rash would make one stumble at the end of the road]
‘Damn. You said I should not take shortcut. But this system isn’t it a shortcut?’ He shouted a bit. The System did not answer. Li Xian sighed and just shakes his head.
Just his luck.
If he had the Dugu Nine Sword moves even if he doesn’t have powerful internal energy, in terms of swordsmanship, there probably would be no one that could match him if he rank the skill until its zenith.
He then resumes his search in the store and then saw a swordplay manual that he seems not bad in his opinion.
It is a manual called Ten Transformation Swordplay. The price is not that high and he felt that the other manual probably have around the same level.
If he wanted to choose more powerful swordplay he might have to increase his power level and his mastery.
He chooses the unknown Ten Transformation Swordplay and bought it.
He bought it for ten liang
Then he reads the description for the Seven Transformation Swordplay
[Seven Transformation Swordplay]
Created by an unknown person during the Spring and Autumn Period, it has seven moves. Each move is lethal. It attack is simple and lack trickery and unpredictable moves. But the straightforwardness of the attack holds powerful impact in attacking. When the sword pointed to the sky, the sprit will soar. When the sword pointed to the ground, then one would stand tall like a mountain. Even though it could not be counted as one of the great swordplay in Wulin, this move is useful and powerful enough as long as one could master it. It has seven moves
[Western Sword Reaches the Sky]
[Southern Sword Reaches the Earth]
[Eastern Sword Cut the Stars]
[Northern Sword Cut the Moon]
[Heart Sword Slay the Demon]
[Mind Sword Slay the Immortal]
[Spirit Sword s***h the Heavens]
Looking at the name of the moves it is all overbearing.
Maybe during the Spring and Autumn Period, this swordplay is really powerful.
But in the current day, probably this swordplay had been surpassed by the many more complex and powerful swordplay that have emerged since the Spring and Autumn period
He then nodded at himself
At least he now has a martial arts technique and learn how to use his sword.
He grabs the book and hen gripping it tighter the book turns into motes of lights and the knowledge enter his mind
He did not have to hold the book to make sure he learns the skill but it made him felt the system is real by holding on to something that felt solid.
All kinds of movement of the swords fill his mind, where to use it, how to use it, how to deflect and how to attack.
All of this movement shows itself to Li Xian.
In his mind, Li Xian saw himself, practicing the Seven Transformation Swordplay.
However, the Li Xian in his mind practices the sword until it felt like he has been learning this swordplay from when he was a child.
He did not master the swordplay, but he knows how to execute it.
And then after a few second he opens his eyes and he now knew how to execute the swordplay.
He then got up and unsheathe his sword. He then thrust forward his sword forward. The sound of wind sliding off the edge of the sword sound like something is being sliced.
The sound went quiet and the sword stand still. Li Xian frowned.
The thrust of the sword did not seem special. It is even a little plain. But as the one thrusting the sword forward, Li Xian could feel the difference.
It is faster. And it is more powerful than before.
‘Good swordplay’ he thought to himself. He looks at the martial technique and at least it is not empty anymore.
If he had bought this skill during his fight with the wolf, his attack would be faster and stronger.
But also would drain him first.’ He thought and then nodded
‘I made the right decision not to use any swordplay technique when my power level is that low’ he thought to himself.
Now, he needs to complement his swordplay with Palm technique. When he did not have any weapons, if he did not have any hand to hand combat skill, it would be bad for him.
He bought another skill book. This book cost him another ten liang
It is the Three Waves Palm. Li Xian then check the description of the palm technique
>>>>>>>>>>>
[Three Waves Palm]
By imbuing internal energy onto one pam, this technique would create 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 learns it and another knowledge enter his mind. Unlike the swordplay that have sword moves, these Three Wave Palm shows him the image of how to circulate the energy in his body and how to focus his internal energy into his palm to create the effect of the Three Waves Palm.
If he did not have the system, it would probably take him a few years to understand and execute such a technique with confidence.
He then checks his status window
