Text-based martial arts: A nighttime rendezvous with the gang leader's wife in a dilapidated te

Location: Outside Jinling City, along the banks of the Zijin River (Section 3)

[Time: 13:00, August 12th, Tianwu Year 4]

Currently fishing...

Chen Xuan looked at the content on the screen and let out a long breath.

Two days have passed since Old Cao passed on his skills that night.

However, even after two days and two nights, Chen Xuan would still involuntarily open his martial arts section and look at the list of martial arts skills flashing with blue light:

【Spring Breeze and Rain Needle (Mysterious)】

This technique was modified by Cao Qing based on the "Thousand Threads Needle" martial art from the Medicine King Valley! It uses two needles simultaneously, one like a gentle spring breeze, the other like a torrential downpour; the gate of life holds a life-saving potion, the gate of death a deadly weapon. Like a gentle spring breeze nourishing silently, or a torrential downpour killing like mowing grass! It possesses extremely strong effects and power.

The martial arts technique is divided into ten life-and-death forms. Two forms are unlocked with each level increase in skill rank; five forms are healing techniques, and five are killing techniques! Currently mastered: Spring Breeze Smoothing Willows, Evil Wind Entering the Body.

Current Level: Level 1, 13% (Beginner)

【Features:】

[Spring Breeze and Gentle Rain: Precisely pierces the target's or one's own major acupoints. Can forcibly remove some negative status effects and permanently increase the recovery speed of Qi and Stamina by 30% for the next half hour. It can also briefly stimulate the target's potential, temporarily increasing their fixed Constitution, Agility, and Strength by 1 point. Can only be used once every 12 hours.]

【Swift Wind and Torrent: Silver needles thrown with a special wrist technique, ignoring 20-80% of defense. There is also a chance to forcibly inflict the 'Meridian Sealing' effect (reduced movement speed, chance of paralysis)】

[Medicine and Martial Arts Share the Same Origin: Martial arts based on 'medical skills'. The higher the medical skill level, the greater the additional damage it can inflict; the higher the medical skill level, the faster the martial arts grade advances!]

[Masterful Needle Manipulation: When using needle-type weapons, the usage requirements are lowered, and the speed of cultivating this type of martial art is accelerated! (This characteristic remains effective even when the martial art is not being used!)]

[Learning Requirements: Medical skill level ≥ 4, Comprehension ≥ 6 points]

Mysterious-level martial arts!

Its power goes without saying.

Over the past two days, Chen Xuan also felt the terrifying speed of improvement of this Xuan-level martial art.

Although he spends most of his time reading the Green Book and refining pills, you should know that his talent and comprehension are based on the Fish Leaping Over the Dragon Gate Technique. Because the Spring Breeze and Rain Needle is in harmony with the true meaning of water, the judgment is +2!

All I can say is that a Xuan-level martial art truly lives up to its name!

Before truly entering the realm of martial arts, a mere Xuan-level talent was nothing to him, especially since he already possessed the Earth-level talent "Sword Qi Profound Understanding."

However, the more one understands martial arts and the more insightful one becomes about this world of martial arts, the more one realizes just how rare and precious advanced martial arts truly are!

In fact, the preciousness of this martial art can be proven in one sentence! That is, only the head of the Shen family, who dominate the entire Jinling City and the surrounding area, can cultivate the Shen family's only Xuan-level martial art.

Needless to say, this martial art is clearly extraordinary!

Not to mention the "medicine and martial arts sharing the same origin" characteristic that is tied to medical skills, let alone the characteristic that takes effect at any moment when the needle is manipulated like a god.

Just the first one!

Spring breeze and drizzle!

This special attribute can stimulate a +1 to each of the three dimensions in a short period of time!

Moreover, it is a constant attribute. In other words, after Chen Xuan uses this skill, his attribute can break through 3 points in a single attribute again in a short period of time!

This alone is enough to double the speed of one's martial arts training or the power of a single attribute!

With such an improvement, to what extent will the speed at which he learns his many extraordinary skills and this martial art increase?

Of course, the duration was rather short. Only half an hour.

However, the problem isn't with this "gentle and nurturing" method; it's with myself!

He lacked internal strength and internal energy, and his physique could not withstand the stimulation of potential for too long.

With this in mind, Chen Xuan closed the martial arts list again, while looking at the fishing prompts displayed on the screen, and opened the option for "Qingqing Book" using the button next to him.

This is something he discovered in the last two days: while engaging in activities like fishing, he can also perform tasks like studying books while the game is running in the background.

However, the efficiency will be reduced somewhat.

But time is money and life!

Especially after learning the Spring Breeze and Rain Needle technique and gaining the ability of "medicine and martial arts sharing the same origin," the improvement of medical skill level will increase the power of this hidden weapon needle technique.

Chen Xuan became even more enthusiastic about studying medicine.

And, it's almost done!

Indeed, in the past few days, with the blessing of Chen Xuan's terrifying comprehension, he did not focus on practicing the Five Animal Frolics again, but instead devoted all his idle time to the "Green Book".

Over the course of two days, coupled with occasional online sessions where he would prick himself with a needle, all his energy was focused on improving his comprehension. Within half an hour, Chen Xuan's medical skill comprehension score reached a remarkable 9 points.

If it's for alchemy, it can even reach a terrifying 11 points!

This attribute can only be described as a natural prodigy, and that would be no exaggeration.

Therefore, in just two days, Qingqing's progress, which was only at level 4 before, began to accelerate rapidly at a visible speed.

Now, in just two days and two nights, Qingqing Ce has reached 89% progress without expending a single potential point.

In other words, with only 11% of the progress remaining, he will have thoroughly studied Lao Cao's "Qingqing Book" and will no longer need to AFK!

This became Chen Xuan's main hope during this period.

Over the course of two days, Cao Qing's favorability rating had improved, but it remained stuck at the limit of 59 points.

What he wanted was to completely break through 60 points, become Cao Qing's apprentice, and learn the most important "stance training"!

In this world of martial arts, in this martial world, only by mastering stance training can one truly improve the foundation of martial arts! Only then can one truly be called a martial artist!

Otherwise, he would just be an ordinary doctor in Jinling City!

Those extraordinary abilities, those powers that control life and death of oneself and others, will never have anything to do with oneself!

With this in mind, Chen Xuan changed all his attributes to Comprehension. On the banks of the Purple Gold River, on this leisurely autumn afternoon, he fished and read a book.

During this time, occasionally one or two fish would be caught!

However, Chen Xuan, who had come specifically a week ago to search for the treasure fish again, did not see it.

But this time, he wasn't in a hurry.

Finally, with the help of his comprehension, and as the sun slowly set in the west, the subtitles before him gave Chen Xuan a special and meaningful feedback!

Through your diligent study and numerous attempts, you have finally mastered the book "The Green Book" and upgraded it to level 5!

Your life skill "Medical Skill" has increased to Level 5 (Advanced), and your life skill "Gathering" has increased to Level 3 (Beginner).

However, just as Chen Xuan nodded, preparing to modify the attributes and concentrate on fishing, suddenly, the subtitles displayed an unexpected prompt again:

[You have thoroughly understood and comprehended a book. In the lingering aftertaste, you feel an indescribable sensation. Do you want to activate your talent 'Defying Fate' to investigate the changes within yourself?]

[You are extremely surprised by the changes brought about by your complete mastery of a book! You have activated 'Defying Fate,' and this time your gaze is fixed on yourself!]

[You have observed a fixed series of serendipitous encounters that you are capable of experiencing!]

Suddenly, a red light appeared before your eyes...

Red light?

Chen Xuan's heart leaped into his throat. This was... the color of a celestial level?
