13: The Martial Arts Pavilion Elders were shocked

The Martial Arts Association's affiliated store.

The main hall was packed with people, most of them Martial Artists who came to purchase various Cultivation resources.

There were also some middle-aged individuals who appeared to have slightly weaker Qi and were dressed more simply.

Presumably, they were parents emptying their Family savings to buy Blood Tempering Agent and other medicines, hoping their children could get into a higher Martial Arts academy.

This is how it is in this era: if a child can get into a higher Martial Arts academy, they will soar to success.

Not to mention becoming rich and powerful, at least their life would definitely be much better than it is now.

But if they fail to get in, they can only become ordinary wage earners.

Living on a salary of a few thousand yuan a month.

Hoping for their son to become a Dragon and their daughter to become a Phoenix is the heartfelt wish of parents in every era.

There were too many customers, so no staff came forward to assist.

Li Canglan could only wait for a salesperson to become free before stepping forward to inquire.

“Hello, I’m here to exchange a Martial Skill.”

The word “exchange” made a hint of surprise flash in the salesperson’s eyes.

Most people come to purchase Martial Skills; the term “exchange” is not common.

The next moment, seeing the red exchange voucher Li Canglan took out, the salesperson gasped.

The Martial Arts Association issues a certain amount of exchange vouchers every year.

For example, the top-ranked C-grade Martial Skill in Li Canglan's academy and the top-ranked D-grade Martial Skills in each class are all the same exchange vouchers.

These are all exchanged in advance by the academy from the Martial Arts Association at a great cost.

However, those are green exchange vouchers.

Red exchange vouchers are only given to those who have made significant contributions to the country and its people.

“This student, please follow me.”

The salesperson led Li Canglan all the way to the second floor.

An Elder was lying on a recliner, eyes closed, resting.

The salesperson bowed deeply, leaned down, and whispered,

“Elder He, someone has come to exchange a Martial Skill.”

Exchanging a Martial Skill is different from purchasing one; it requires a different staff member to accompany the person.

Elder He slowly opened his eyes, nodded faintly to signal the salesperson to leave, and then leisurely got up.

“Young man, what type of Martial Skill do you want?”

“A powerful one,” Li Canglan said without hesitation.

Among the Five Animal Frolics, he was most proficient in the Tiger Frolic.

Therefore, his strength was also stronger than others of the same Qi Blood Realm at that time.

When choosing a Martial Skill, he must definitely play to his strengths and maximize his advantages.

Elder He was not surprised.

Every young person likes Martial Skills with maximum offensive power.

However, he still offered a piece of advice,

“On the Dao of Martial Arts, one must develop comprehensively; do not just focus on violent output and pursue temporary pleasure.”

Li Canglan readily agreed, nodding repeatedly.

Elder He could tell at a glance that Li Canglan hadn't taken it to heart, and could only let out a soft sigh.

Arriving at the Martial Arts Pavilion, the area probably spanned several hundred square meters.

On each shelf, different Martial Skill scrolls were displayed.

The signs in front indicated the conditions required to Cultivate the Martial Skill.

“These are all E-grade Martial Skills. Take a look yourself and see if there’s any Martial Skill you fancy.”

Li Canglan immediately noticed the Martial Skill that Xu Yifan Cultivated.

【Breaking Flame Fist: Suitable for Martial Artists sensitive to fire elements to Cultivate. Minimum usage requirement: 50 Qi Blood value.】

The higher the sensitivity to fire elements and the stronger the Qi Blood value, the greater the power of this Martial Skill when used.

“So, this guy Xu Yifan is also good at fire elements?”

Elemental sensitivity can be detected by instruments.

However, students are in the Qi Blood Realm, and the school has not organized students to participate in elemental sensitivity testing.

Li Canglan's System panel temporarily seemed to have no information regarding this aspect.

“Elder He, can the store test elemental sensitivity?”

Li Canglan asked softly, with a very good attitude.

Elder He was stunned. “You haven’t tested your elemental sensitivity?”

Those who can obtain merit Martial Skill exchange vouchers either made significant contributions themselves or their Elders achieved great feats.

For someone from such a Family background not to have tested elemental sensitivity, Elder He couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

“Come with me.”

Seeing Li Canglan's genuine expression, Elder He led him to an elemental stele.

“Various elemental energies will emanate from the stele. You only need to sense these energies to test your elemental sensitivity.”

Under Elder He’s guidance, Li Canglan touched the elemental stele with both hands.

A scorching airflow poured into his palms and soon disappeared.

Following closely was a moist aura…

A moment later, bright lightning symbols and faintly glowing wind element symbols appeared on the elemental stele.

“S-grade Lightning Element Sensitivity!”

“A-grade Wind Element Sensitivity!”

Even Elder He, who was accustomed to seeing the world, couldn't help but hold his breath.

“Dual-element sensitivity both reached A-grade or above; this is an absolute Genius!”

Generally, Martial Artists have a sensitivity of around C or D for various elements.

Their most proficient element is usually A or B.

Among these, B accounts for most cases.

A-grade accounts for less than 30% of all Martial Artists.

S-grade and above account for only about 2%!

But this is just a big data ratio.

The top disciples in large Base Cities and those ancient Families account for most of them.

In fact, in Luofeng City, the proportion of S-grade is far less than 1%!

Moreover, it is a rare dual-element Martial Artist!

Elemental sensitivity can not only enhance the power of Martial Skills with suitable attributes.

It also has a certain resistance effect against attacks of the same attribute.

Li Canglan's dual-element sensitivity will allow him to gain an advantage when facing lightning and wind enemies!

Furthermore, one must also consider the superposition of dual elements, such as the effect of wind aiding lightning.

Thinking of this, even Elder He couldn't help but be amazed.

In Elder He's eyes, saying that Li Canglan is the top Genius in Luofeng City this year would probably not be an exaggeration!

“Today, I will make a decision on my own!”

Elder He looked at Li Canglan, as if looking at his proud Junior,

“You can freely choose any D-grade Martial Skill in the Martial Arts Pavilion!”

Jumping directly from E-grade Martial Skills to D-grade Martial Skills.

The value is not just a few times greater!

Cultivating Martial Skills not only consumes resources but also time.

As for the extra money needed to upgrade the exchange voucher to D-grade, it was not an issue for Elder He at all.

Having served as an Elder of the Martial Arts Pavilion for many years, he could afford this amount of money!

Having lived in this world for many years, Li Canglan also understood the concept represented by a dual-element Martial Artist.

Even without the System, Li Canglan could be considered a Genius.

It's just that without resources, he might fade into obscurity someday.

The System completely eliminated his worries.

He also understood that Elder He did this to befriend him, a future strong individual.

Li Canglan naturally accepted things that were beneficial to him and harmless.

“Then this Junior thanks Uncle He.”

A single “Uncle” immediately brought their relationship closer.

Elder He burst into hearty laughter, utterly delighted.

“Come on, let’s pick a Martial Skill!”

Entering the pavilion where D-grade Martial Skills were stored.

There were significantly fewer Martial Skills here than E-grade Martial Skills.

“You are preparing for the big exam now, so D-grade Martial Skills that are too difficult would be too much of a time-waster for you.”

Dual-element Martial Artists can only widen the gap with single-element Martial Artists after their strength has grown to a certain extent.

In the early stages, a specialized lightning-element Martial Skill is more suitable for Li Canglan.

“This ‘Startling Thunder Flash’ is quite suitable for your current stage.”
