384: Chapter 384 Five-Colored Spiritual Light!
He specialized in Spear Technique, so his core combat style in the future would inevitably revolve around the long spear.
Therefore, the offensive martial skills he chose should ideally be compatible with Spear Technique.
For example, Metal-element martial skills to boost the penetration of the spear tip, or Wood and Water-element skills to increase the variations in spear momentum or control capabilities.
Defense and movement techniques also needed to consider their suitability while fighting with a spear.
"Once my realm stabilizes, I'll take the time to screen them carefully."
Qin Yan temporarily sealed this vast 'treasure' in a corner of his consciousness.
Setting aside the General Outline of Five Elements Basic Martial Skills for now, Qin Yan's gaze finally landed on the most eye-catching item on the panel—the newly appeared [Origin Divine Ability: Five-Colored Spiritual Light].
Origin Divine Abilitys were unique and powerful abilities that naturally emerged from a martial artist's life source, being extremely compatible with them.
They often represented one of the core characteristics and highest achievements of a martial artist's path.
Their power was unpredictable and their uses infinite; moreover, they didn't require deliberate hard practice like martial skills. Once awakened, they were mastered as naturally as instinct.
Qin Yan focused his mind, carefully sensing the information transmitted by this supernatural power named 'Five-Colored Spiritual Light'.
Five-Colored Spiritual Light: A supernatural power derived from the Five Elements Primordial Scripture. Using Five Elements True Qi as a foundation, it evolves into a supreme spiritual light that is mysterious and unpredictable, integrating offense and defense, changing according to the heart's desire.
Its power increases with the practitioner's depth of control over the power of the five elements, divided into three realms:
First Realm: Single-Color Spiritual Light
Can independently drive the spiritual light of any one attribute among Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.
The golden light is peerlessly sharp, primarily for breaking through defenses and destroying armor;
The green light is full of vitality, capable of healing wounds, removing toxins, and nourishing all things;
The blue light is extremely soft and resilient, good at deflecting force for defense, and trapping or binding enemies;
The red light is blazing and explosive, incinerating filth and scorching the spirit; the yellow light is heavy and stable, suppressing the void and strengthening oneself.
Second Realm: Dual-Color Spiritual Light
Can simultaneously drive two attributes of spiritual light and make them preliminarily fuse, complementing each other to produce a '1+1 > 2' effect.
For instance, Metal and Fire combined add explosiveness to sharpness; Water and Earth combined provide defense while trapping the enemy;
Wood and Fire generating each other turns vitality into fierce flames... the variations become more complex, and the power significantly increases.
Final Realm: Five-Colored Spiritual Light
All five elements emerge together, the five colors rotating, generating and overcoming each other in a ceaseless cycle.
Once the spiritual light appears, it forms its own domain, encompassing suppression, defense, attack, purification, nourishment, and many other profound uses. Its power can be called the absolute peak of the same rank.
"What a strong supernatural power!"
Even just by sensing its description, waves of emotion inevitably rose in Qin Yan's heart.
The potential and versatility of this 'Five-Colored Spiritual Light' far exceeded the 'Blood Curse' Origin Divine Ability he had obtained previously.
"But... what a pity."
Qin Yan's excitement slightly faded as he felt his current degree of control over the Five Elements True Qi and sighed softly.
"With my current realm of just having entered the first layer of the Five Elements Primordial Scripture, my control over the power of the five elements is still very shallow, only reaching the level of barely being able to distinguish and guide them individually."
This meant that at this stage, he could at most perform the first realm's Single-Color Spiritual Light, and could only release one attribute of spiritual light at a time.
There was still a long way to go before reaching the free-willed and ever-changing Dual-Color or even Five-Colored Spiritual Light.
To achieve the preliminary Dual-Color Spiritual Light, he would likely need to cultivate the first layer of the Five Elements Primordial Scripture to the minor achievement stage or higher.
And to reach the Perfection of the Final Realm's Five-Colored Spiritual Light, he would have to cultivate the first layer of the Five Elements Primordial Scripture to Perfection!
"The road ahead is long and arduous..."
Qin Yan sighed softly, "It seems that if I want to witness the true world-shaking power of this supernatural power, I'll have to be at least at the fifth or even sixth-grade realm!"
He recalled the cultivation technique's description; the first layer of the Five Elements Primordial Scripture corresponded to the Middle-grade martial artist stage.
When the first layer reached Perfection, the Five Elements True Qi within the Five Internal Organs would establish a complete, stable, and efficient cycle of mutual generation, making the True Qi endless.
There would be almost no need to deliberately absorb external spiritual energy; a miniature, sustainable energy circulation system would form within himself!
By then, not only would his True Qi recovery speed far exceed his peers, but his endurance would also be astonishing.
His control over the power of the five elements would also reach a brand-new height.
"No rush, one step at a time."
He composed himself and pulled his attention back to reality.
The breakthrough was complete, his strength had skyrocketed, and his supernatural power had begun to manifest.
Next, he needed time to consolidate his realm and familiarize himself with his surging power and the newborn Five Elements True Qi.
He also needed to select a few martial skills most suitable for his current stage from that vast General Outline of Five Elements Basic Martial Skills for preliminary cultivation.
Qin Yan glanced at the time and found it was nearly evening.
The great joy and sense of fullness after the breakthrough did not make him slack off in the slightest.
The path of martial arts was like rowing upstream; if you didn't advance, you would fall back.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the still surging waves in his heart, and gripped the long spear tightly again.
His body after the breakthrough was completely different from before.
His blood flowed more vigorously and smoothly, as if a river had widened and the water was surging.
As the spear entered his hand, it felt subtly different than before.
The newborn Metal-element True Qi in his body showed signs of flowing toward the spear shaft, making the spear tip seem to have an extra, hard-to-detect sharp cold light.
"Interesting..."
Qin Yan's heart stirred slightly, but he wasn't in a hurry to investigate. Instead, he calmed his mind again and began practicing from the most basic spear forms.
Thrust, pick, sweep, pierce, circle...
In the training room, the wind from the spear whistled, and light and shadow intertwined.
This practice lasted for a full eight hours, from afternoon until the early morning.
Yet at this moment, Qin Yan didn't feel the slightest bit of fatigue; instead, he felt full of energy!
However, he didn't train again, but instead looked at the Skill Points column in the panel!
[Skill Points: 13 points]
He remembered clearly that before the breakthrough, the remaining Skill Points on the panel were 5 points.
"Eight hours, and it increased by 8 points!"
A glimmer of satisfaction flashed in Qin Yan's eyes.
Converted, that was an average increase of 1 point per hour, or 40 points in forty hours.
This efficiency was a significant improvement compared to before his breakthrough!
For Qin Yan, who relied heavily on Skill Points to quickly improve his Spear Technique and potentially other martial skills and even cultivation techniques in the future, this was undoubtedly great news.
"With my current physique, maintaining twenty hours of high-efficiency training a day shouldn't be a problem."
Qin Yan calculated, "Then, in a day, I can probably harvest around 20 Skill Points!"
20 points a day! That's 600 points a month!
Thinking of this, even with Qin Yan's currently steady temperament, he couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement.
A clear path to improvement and a considerable speed of growth were always the strongest stimulants for a martial artist.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Qin Yan turned his attention inward.
With Mental Energy internal vision, the scene of his Five Internal Organs was even clearer and more vivid than before.
