After receiving Apothecary Huang Mu's teachings, Tang Ling thanked him for his teachings and bowed to him.
Tang Ling returned to the plaza where people were bustling in business and joy.
[Lone Dawn Villager (Adult) LV 12]
!!!
Surpassing the LV10 (Natural Growth), one if trained, would exceed LV10 and enter the realm of Martial Arts; Martial Artist of 1st Stage. But to achieve it, unless someone was like him, one needed a great effort of training to achieve it. But the average person were all stronger than LV10 and it's impossible for everyone to train massively like that, it takes time and time could be used to farm or sell.
According to Forger Wang, there's only one explanation: everybody at the of 14-16 practiced martial arts. Even if one didn't practice much, he would still become an LV11 or LV12.
But still, he is 14 years old and with the [System], he would definitely become stronger than them. He didn't have to rely on natural growth but more on levels.
So for an hour or so, Tang Ling decided that he would gain EXP from quests and hunting monsters.
By his means, Little Tang Ling unknowingly used the secret technique of 'farming' EXP.

Level 9! Level 10 was the threshold to the Martial Artist 1st Stage!
But where could he find a Martial Art?
From the System explanation, he could also level up to LV 11 and be considered as a martial artist. But without a 'cultivation' technique, he would need more EXP to level up. Depending on the grade, he could halve the total cost of level up and his base attributes would be upward. If his stats in LV 9 was an average 0.9 then with a normal cultivation technique, he would be able to have a stat that reached 1.0. But could he do it? He didn't know.
Tang Ling finally gave some grains to the farmer, completing his last quest.
[You have completed Quest: Grains. +10 coppers and 50 EXP]
[You have leveled up! LV9 to LV10.]
[You have reached the threshold of Natural Growth. You have unlocked Classes]
Classes? Tang Ling didn't know about them.
As it could heat his mind, the System responded :
"In Heavenly Ascension, there are no such things as classes, classes are types of martial artists. Go find the mayor and get your cultivation technique and unlock the Samshira intent and your class."
Ah! The cultivation techniques are in possession of the mayor!
Tang Ling began to rush to the mayor. He was really excited to start cultivation, who wouldn't? It gave you immense strength. His helpless situation could be somehow solved.
"Oh? Isn't that Tang Ling? Why are you here ?" asked Huang Lei, he was quite surprised, He was just resting on his chair just as Tang Ling rushed to disturb him. He looked at Tang Ling and sensed the youthful aura of Tang Ling.
"You're already at Peak Youth ?" the mayor looked at him dumbfounded.
Peak Youth was the term used to describe LV10 or the end of Natural Growth, this term was the state where the people could temper themselves as martial artists. The end of Natural Growth usually stopped at 18 but geniuses could stop at 14 to 16 and have a better foundation than others.
"Yes, I've reached Peak Youth" honestly said, Tang Ling. "I've heard that you have the cultivation technique that allowed the villagers to enter the 1st stage of Martial Arts so I'm here."
"That's great! Don't worry, the cultivation technique is a common good, it is the basis of every artist. Although the villages do no possess these treasures, cities sell these like commodities." Huang Lei took a small scroll out of a shelf. He then gave it to Tang Ling.
"This is the Breathing Pattern of Body, it allows people to become a 2nd stage Martial Artist in his peak, Memorize it."
The Breathing Pattern of Body scroll only had a single picture and several words.
" Breath naturally and sense the 'flow' in the air. "
"Qi is the vitality of life, gather and let it circle "
Then there was a simple human body and the qi path that one should open.
"Mayor, I've memorized" After 12 minutes, Tang Ling memorized it entirely. He handed it back to the mayor.
"Already ?" asked Huang Lei, it was really fast, this kid had memorized the scroll only after 12 minutes and the average would be around an hour or so.

[Congratulation Host to have completely memorized the [Breathing Pattern of the Body] cultivation.]
[Breathing Pattern of the Body (Cultivation-type)
A basic cultivation technique that is spread all around the world. Its full potential can only allow a person to reach LV 20 (2nd Stage). Albeit lacking in potential and might, it is the best method to lay the strongest foundation possible. Effect: reduce EXP requirement by 10% and Qi restoration by 2/min. If cultivated, give 10 EXP in 30 seconds and restore energy if "breathed".]
