Gao Wu: I became a saint through daily settlements

"My current life energy level is 10.8, but I can easily defeat opponents with a level of 11.0 or higher." Lin Yue closed his eyes slightly and recalled today's battle.

"This 'Water Flowing Rock Shattering Fist' is truly powerful."

"I can officially enter the elite class tomorrow."

Lin Yue didn't know much about the elite class. He only knew that the elite class had some privileges, but he didn't know exactly what they were.

"At least I can take on missions before becoming a formal martial artist," Lin Yue thought to himself.

The cultivation resources and teaching quality of the elite class are all things I've heard about, but I've never actually seen them. However, earning Blue Star Coins by taking on missions is something real and tangible.

Starry Sky Martial Hall Jiangcheng Branch Hall.

"Jingyue, what are your thoughts on this set of boxing techniques?"

The man named Tang Jingyue looked to be about twenty years old and was dressed in a neat black martial arts uniform.

"This fist technique..." Tang Jingyue clicked his tongue, looking puzzled.

"It doesn't resemble any of the cultivation methods published by the Alliance."

"Not bad." The middle-aged man in the Tang suit nodded in agreement.

As the master of the Starry Sky Martial Hall, what hasn't Tang Long seen?

Tang Long knew a little about ancient martial arts, but the set of boxing techniques in front of him had no historical records whatsoever.

"It is indeed not a modern cultivation method," Tang Long said slowly.

Before, he might have been a little unsure, but now he was certain that this was some kind of undocumented traditional practice.

"What Father means is..." Tang Jingyue seemed to have thought of something, but he wasn't sure.

"Ancient martial arts?"

"That's right." Tang Long said, his hands behind his back, as if he was thinking about something.

"Father, if it really is ancient martial arts, we must recruit it into our Starry Sky Martial Hall as soon as possible. We must not let other martial halls succeed first." Tang Jingyue's eyes gleamed with excitement.

That's ancient martial arts, a training method that has long since disappeared in the tides of time.

Moreover, the fact that this person can use this set of boxing techniques means that he must have a matching body-strengthening method.

"Father, what are you hesitating about?" Tang Jingyue asked when Tang Long did not speak.

"I'm pondering which hidden family is behind this person," Tang Long said slowly.

Aside from those ancient families that have long since disappeared from the public eye, who else can preserve ancient martial arts?

Could it be that these aristocratic families are finally going to enter the secular world?

If we can show this rising prodigy some favor and provide him with resources, the Starry Sky Martial Hall may be able to soar to great heights in the future by leveraging the power of his family, far surpassing the other two halls.

Even if the other party is unwilling to enter the hall, one must first show sincerity and establish goodwill.

With this thought in mind, Tang Long suddenly felt enlightened.

"Jingyue, come with me on a trip in a few days."

"Yes."

......

"Phew." Lin Yue exhaled a breath of stale air.

"That feels good." After two rounds of the Flowing Water Rock-Shattering Fist, he was covered in sweat.

Practicing the Flowing Water Rock-Shattering Fist twice a day is already Lin Yue's basic requirement. If he has extra time, he will also study Bird Shen.

If you lack talent, you simply have to put in more effort than others!

Daily Settlement

[Today's competition was a resounding success. The Flowing Water Shattering Rock Fist technique was a glimpse into my skills, demonstrating my diligent and hardworking training.]

[Rating: Average or below average.]

Up and down! Lin Yue's eyes lit up.

This is the second time he has received a top rating; he usually receives mostly average ratings.

[To have a sudden realization.]

"It's finally here," Lin Yue muttered to himself, looking at the rewards on the panel.

He sat back on the bed, took a deep breath, and silently said, "Use Enlightenment."

Just like the first time, a strange feeling spread from the top of my head, like a drop of water falling into a calm lake, with ripples spreading from my head to my whole body.

Lin Yue didn't rush to verify the improvement in his punching power, but instead turned his attention to another technique—"Bird Shen".

Xiong Jing has already broken through to the minor success level through enlightenment, while Niao Shen, whose movement technique has remained at the "proficient" stage since being obtained from the system, is still lacking a little bit of skill.

Lin Yue closed his eyes and, in a state of sudden enlightenment, re-examined Niao Shen's every move.

The first move, "Crane's Neck Pulling," involves standing upright with the head and neck pulled upwards, as if a crane is about to cry out.

Lin Yue's eyebrows twitched slightly, and then he began the second move, "Swallow Spreads Its Wings".

...

[System notification: In the state of enlightenment, "Bird Shen" has broken through the bottleneck, advancing from "Proficient" to "Master".]

[Improved effects: Speed ​​increased by 15%, movement fluidity greatly improved, and mental strength increased.]

[Special effect "Bird's Path to Divinity" unlocked: Within one hour of practicing Bird's Path, reaction speed is increased by 10%.]

速度提升15%。也就是说，他的百米成绩可以从5秒81提升到大约5秒6。

Lin Yue didn't bother calculating the numbers because his attention was drawn to something else.

At the moment Niao Shen broke through, something moved in his dantian.

It's not breath. Breath is something warm, dense, and like water.

And this is something cold, sharp, and needle-like.

It rises from the depths of the dantian, travels up the spine, passes through the Dazhui, Yuzhen, and Baihui points, and then explodes like fireworks.

Lin Yue felt an unprecedented clarity.

It's not the kind of enlightenment where you "see" everything, but a more essential and deeper kind of clarity.

Suddenly, Lin Yue sensed a "qi".

Is this true qi?

"No, that's not how true qi works."

Zhou Minghao had used true qi before; he had seen it. True qi was something hot, violent, and like flames.

And this is cool, still, like ice.

It's not true qi, but more like the "seed" of true qi.

A seed that has not yet sprouted. But it is already in the dantian, lying quietly in the deepest part of the breath, like a stone sunk to the bottom of the water.

As winter ends and spring returns, birds bring forth the seeds of life, and all things revive.

[System Notification: In a state of enlightenment, the host accidentally activated the Seed of True Qi during the breakthrough process of "Bird's Strike". Current True Qi reserves: 0.1%, currently increasing.]

"0.1 percent? It's better than nothing." These numbers swirled in my mind for a moment, then sank to the bottom.

He took a deep breath to calm himself down. He was still in a state of enlightenment, and he still had time.

He didn't rush to feel the seed, but instead turned his attention back to the bird.

Bird Shen has mastered the skill, increasing speed by 15% and unlocking the "Bird Shen's Divine Power" effect. These are tangible benefits that can be used immediately.

"Stand upright with head and neck held high, like a crane about to cry out."

Practice your skills!

......

"The amount of true qi stored has increased a little more," Lin Yue murmured, looking at the data on the panel.

Current True Qi Reserves: 0.2%

"It seems that practicing Bird Strike can increase the storage of true qi," Lin Yue said thoughtfully.

"I wonder if there are any other ways to increase the amount of true qi stored up."

"Let's stop here for today. Don't bite off more than you can chew."

Since injuring himself during training last time, Lin Yue has gained a general understanding of his physical limits.
