42: Chapter 42: Skill Points Added! Changes!
Instructor Xiao Huo had clearly taken his Third Stage Spear Technique advantage fully into account.
The Martial Skills he filtered for were all those that could maximize the strengths of his Spear Technique.
Qin Yan's gaze swept over the two exquisite grade Martial Skills only for a moment before he unhesitatingly excluded them.
He had the System panel as his greatest reliance.
As long as he put in enough effort, there was no Martial Skill he couldn't grasp the basics of!
What he pursued, naturally, was the strongest power within the same Realm!
His attention was completely focused on the two top grade Martial Skills: "Mystic Ice Spear Technique" and "Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear."
The advantage of the "Mystic Ice Spear Technique" lay in its powerful control and defensive capabilities.
"Ice Skin" could significantly boost survivability, and the accompanying cold qi effect could greatly restrict the opponent during combat, creating opportunities.
Its style leaned towards being calm, mysterious, and waiting for the right moment to strike.
The drawback was that its absolute offensive burst power might be slightly inferior.
Furthermore, its adaptability to extreme environments, such as intense heat, might be somewhat affected.
The advantage of the "Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear" lay in its extreme defense and domineering counter-damage capability, as well as its integrated offense and defense, grand and powerful style.
It did not pursue flashy techniques, focusing more on absolute strength and defense, possessing a domineering air of 'absolute strength overcomes all tricks'.
The "Counter-shock Astral Qi" cultivated from it made opponents extremely vexed.
Its style highly coincided with the magnificent, upright, and relentless Spear Dao belief he yearned for internally.
After comprehensive analysis, the scale in Qin Yan's heart had already tipped.
"Instructor."
He directly sent a message to Xiao Huo via his smart bracelet.
His tone was firm, "I have considered everything clearly.
I choose the 'Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear'."
After sending the message, Qin Yan patiently awaited a reply.
About fifteen minutes later, Xiao Huo's reply arrived:
"Qin Yan, you have good taste."
Xiao Huo's voice carried a hint of admiration, but more so, gravity.
"Even in the formidable Modu University of Martial Arts, this 'Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear' is considered top-tier among Body Tempering Martial Arts, possessing immense potential."
He shifted his tone: "However, I must remind you, its learning difficulty is also notoriously huge.
In past years, quite a few arrogant Prodigies chose it, but very few managed to completely master this skill.
Many people eventually had to switch to other Martial Skills midway, wasting precious time in vain.
Are you... truly certain you still want to choose this Body Tempering Martial Art?
It's not too late to regret it now and choose an exquisite grade Martial Skill."
Hearing Xiao Huo's introduction, Qin Yan was not frightened back; instead, his eyes became even hotter and firmer.
The more difficult it was, the more it proved its value!
This was exactly what he wanted!
"Instructor, I have thought it through completely. I confirm I choose the 'Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear'."
Qin Yan replied again, his voice steady and full of confidence, "I believe I can conquer it."
"...Fine."
On the other end of the communication, Xiao Huo looked at Qin Yan's resolute reply.
He let out a long sigh, his expression complex.
He did not know whether providing the information for this Martial Skill to Qin Yan was right or wrong.
When filtering initially, he did indeed feel that the fierce dominance of this Martial Skill matched Qin Yan's unyielding belief quite well, perhaps capable of creating a miracle.
But when Qin Yan truly made his choice, he couldn't help but worry again.
He feared that this overly difficult Martial Skill would slow down Qin Yan's already urgent Cultivation progress.
After all, this child was already quite far behind the top performers of his cohort.
"Forget it, the path is his own choice.
Since he has made his decision, he should not regret it; I will support him to the best of my ability."
Xiao Huo no longer hesitated and immediately used his authority.
He submitted the application to the school to teach the 'Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear'.
In Xia Country, the management of all Body Tempering Martial Arts, especially top grade ones, was extremely strict.
Even with his dual status as a Peak Sixth Grade Martial Artist and a Sixth Grade Alchemist, he still needed to go through the formal application and approval process and could not teach it privately.
In the training room of Manor No. 11, Qin Yan sat cross-legged.
He appeared to be regulating his breathing with his eyes closed, but his spirit was constantly focused on the movements of the smart bracelet.
The waiting process seemed exceptionally long; a full half hour passed, and the bracelet still showed no reaction.
He took a deep breath, suppressing the surging excitement and anticipation in his heart.
"Even if I immediately obtained the Complete Manual of the 'Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear' right now, what of it?
My current Skill Points are only single digits. Do I expect a mere few points to allow me to instantly master this top grade Martial Skill?"
He stood up and walked to the center of the training room again, grasping the bright silver long spear.
Discarding distracting thoughts, his mind focused, and he continued to practice the basic Spear Technique, transforming the anxiety of waiting into the motivation for Cultivation.
Sweat poured down again; only by immersing himself in the world of the Spear Technique could his heart completely calm down.
Another two hours of high-intensity training passed.
Including the previous practice, he had already accumulated over four hours of training today.
This represented another skill point being credited to his account.
Feeling the fatigue signals coming from his body, Qin Yan slowly lowered his spear.
He dragged his slightly weary body to the rest area and picked up his bracelet.
The screen lit up, displaying a new file sent by Instructor Xiao Huo, with the title—'Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear'!
His heart involuntarily sped up.
Qin Yan opened the file and began reading with complete focus.
A moment later, he had finished reading this Body Tempering Martial Art, and his eyes were filled with irrepressible surprise!
As a top grade Body Tempering Martial Art, the 'Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear' had a complete System.
It was divided into three major chapters, corresponding to the first three major Realms of a Martial Artist:
Skin and Flesh Chapter: Corresponding to the First Grade Martial Artist Realm, tempering the skin and flesh of the entire body.
Bone Forging Chapter: Corresponding to the Second Grade Martial Artist Realm, tempering the bones throughout the body.
Blood Refining Chapter: Corresponding to the Third-Rank Martial Artist Realm, tempering the blood within the body for rebirth.
Each chapter contained Nine Revolutions.
And the key to his Breakthrough to Martial Artist lay in the first Revolution of this "Skin and Flesh Chapter"!
As long as he could successfully complete the cultivation of the first Revolution according to the method.
He would naturally be able to 'Cultivate Qi' within his body, thus officially stepping onto the Cultivation path of a First Grade Martial Artist!
Thinking of this, Qin Yan willed it, and the familiar data panel floated up in his mind:
[Sky-Supporting One Qi Stance: Fifth Layer (Perfection)
Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear (0%)
Qi and Blood: 99 Cards
spirit: 42 Hertz
Spear Technique: Third Stage (17%)
Skill Points: 9 points
[Note: Effort yields rewards]]
Looking at the 9 Skill Points, Qin Yan no longer had any hesitation.
Focusing his mind, he began pouring all the Skill Points into the "Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear"!
In an instant, a large amount of information regarding the cultivation intricacies of the first Revolution of the Skin and Flesh Chapter of the 'Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear', the unique force-application techniques,
And all the subtle points that required attention, flooded into his mind like a sudden enlightenment!
This knowledge was not rigidly stuffed in, but rather as if it had gone through millions of personal rehearsals, transforming into part of his body's instinctive memory!
When he looked at the System panel again, the data displayed on it had already undergone earth-shattering changes:
