High Martial Arts: Becoming a Liver Master

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Inside the training room, only the sound of Chen Mo practicing his swordsmanship cutting through the air remained.

The speed of the strike was so fast that only afterimages could be seen, yet it was powerful and heavy.

Speed ​​and power complement each other, further highlighting the weight and solidity of the blade.

In less than five minutes, Chen Mo had finished practicing a basic sword technique.

"To be precise, it's 4 minutes and 25 seconds, which is 5 seconds faster than before!"

"Another improvement!"

Chen Mo smiled and looked at the knife in his hand.

Chen Mo did not feel physically tired after using a basic sword technique with all his might, but it consumed his mental energy very quickly.

Each rehearsal consumes one-third of one's mental energy.

Therefore, he can only practice three times using his mental power to gain 6 points of proficiency.

However, mental recovery takes half an hour, or even an hour.

In one hour, he can gain a maximum of 18 points of proficiency and a minimum of 12 points.

If you practice for 24 hours a day, and calculate at 12 points per hour, you can gain 288 proficiency points per day.

He has mastered the basic swordsmanship (89/1000) and will be able to break through in less than five days.

But Chen Mo is not a machine; he needs rest, so it's impossible for him to calculate in this way.

He can recover from mental exhaustion through visualization, and may even be able to go without sleep, but he needs to stop and rest when he is physically tired, and he needs to stop when he feels sore or needs to replenish his energy.

"Forget it, never mind, let's see how much proficiency I can gain in an hour first!"

Chen Mo gripped his longsword and began to cultivate.

Next, following the method above, I practiced twice. My mental energy was completely depleted, and I immediately felt sleepy.

This forced Chen Mo to stop and use visualization techniques to restore his mental energy.

Excessive mental energy consumption, if forced to continue, will actually reduce the efficiency of cultivation.

Five minutes later, Chen Mo exited the meditation, and his mental energy recovered to one-sixth of its original level.

He did not intend to wait until he continued practicing basic sword techniques, but instead rested after his body became exhausted, while visualizing the restoration of his mental energy.

Forty minutes later, Chen Mo was drenched in sweat, exhausted, and his whole body ached.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Chen Mo braced himself on his knees, breathing heavily, large beads of sweat dripping from his forehead, hitting the ground with a pattering sound.

He assessed his condition; his body was utterly exhausted, but his mental energy had recovered by half.

A body like this needs at least half an hour of rest.

Just then, his stomach started rumbling.

I'm hungry!

With his energy nearly depleted, Chen Mo hurriedly went to the rest area, took out a Blood Nourishing Pill, and swallowed it.

Soon, the feeling of fullness returned.

Chen Mo sat on the futon, cross-legged, preparing to visualize the restoration of his physical and mental strength.

Looking at the panel again, the basic knife skills proficiency has increased by 8 points, reaching 97.

Calming his mind, Chen Mo immersed himself in meditation.

It was half an hour later when my mental strength was fully restored.

"Cool!"

Chen Mo stood up again, stretched his body, and all his fatigue disappeared. He was fully recharged.

Through this experiment, Chen Mo learned that visualization techniques could also restore physical strength.

After a moment's thought, he understood what was going on.

During the visualization process, his entire body was in a peaceful and tranquil state, free from distracting thoughts, which naturally accelerated the body's self-repair process.

It works even better than sleeping.

Upon learning of this situation, Chen Mo felt it was necessary to change his cultivation method.

Infuse your mental energy into your swordsmanship, practice three times consecutively, then visualize yourself recovering for half an hour, and then practice three more times.

He estimated that the proficiency gained would cycle through three numbers: 12, 6, and 6.

Three hours give you 24 proficiency points, and a day has 24 hours, which is 192 proficiency points.

With the existing 97 points of proficiency, he can max out his proficiency in basic knife skills in less than five days!

"That's a bit slow!"

Despite his complaints, Chen Mo did not change his method.

After all, he was going to be up 24 hours a day for seven consecutive days. If he didn't have enough time to rest, it would slow down his progress.

He didn't know if there would be any problems if he didn't sleep.

But there was no other way; he had to work this hard!

Cultivating in this way is the safest approach.

"Furthermore, integrating spiritual energy into swordsmanship can also enhance one's spiritual energy. Visualization can also improve spiritual energy. With an increased total amount of spiritual energy, one can increase the number of times they can practice swordsmanship!"

"Then, the further you progress, the faster your swordsmanship proficiency will increase!"

After making his decision, Chen Mo began to cultivate according to this method.

Time slipped away second by second.

It was 8 a.m. the next morning, and Chen Mo had been cultivating for 7 hours as usual.

From 1 a.m. to 8 a.m., it was exactly seven hours.

Despite cultivating for such a long time, Chen Mo did not feel tired or unable to adapt.

"This method is correct! If I had tried to train like this, I probably wouldn't have been able to hold on now."

This method is very scientific, although the body's energy will be depleted every hour and needs to be replenished.

However, Chen Mo had twenty Blood Nourishing Pills, and there was also a large box of compressed biscuits and dried meat in the rest area, so he didn't have to worry about food.

These are all high-energy foods that can replenish energy at any time.

Although he only spent half of the seven hours practicing his swordsmanship, his talent came into play, allowing him to successfully integrate a wisp of spiritual energy into his swordsmanship.

This is a breakthrough from zero to one, and it is a milestone.

The sword technique infused with spiritual power did not disappoint him; the power of the moves he used was doubled, and it also had the effect of breaking through armor.

"It feels like the weapon has been enchanted! The strength boost has doubled, and the armor penetration effect is significant."

After experimenting with the alloy dummy, Chen Mo looked at the long sword in his hand. After integrating his mental energy, he felt that his connection with the long sword had become even closer.

According to the description of the alloy dummy, it can already break through the defenses of ordinary ferocious beasts and low-level martial artists.

Of course, it can only break through defenses; as for damage, it's like scratching a gua sha (a traditional Chinese medicine term for minor injuries).

Even so, Chen Mo was already very satisfied.

Textbooks categorize ferocious beasts into levels from lowest to highest as follows:

Ordinary level (threats martial apprentices/martial artists) → Elite level (threats martial artists/martial masters) → Warrior level (threats grandmasters/masters, can destroy small cities) → Lord level (threats masters/requires multiple masters to defeat, can destroy medium-sized cities) → King level (disaster level, can destroy large cities) → (Legendary Emperor level, can destroy a country!).

Chen Mo had seen most of the ferocious beasts from documentaries and online videos.

In reality, during the several beast tides he experienced, he only saw ordinary ferocious beasts.

I've never seen anything more advanced; if I had, he wouldn't exist.

Five years ago, the beast tide that nearly wiped out the city was caused by a ferocious beast at the level of a general.

The ferocious beasts are physically strong, fast, and resilient. Some possess special beast abilities (fire-breathing, electric shock, invisibility, mental shock, poison, etc.) and have astonishing defensive capabilities.

Without the use of alloy weapons and the enhancement of a martial artist's inner energy, it's impossible to break through the ferocious beast's defenses.
