Host: Lin Fei

Martial Arts Realm: Acquired First Level

Three Vitality Technique: First Level (2% progress)

Dragon-Elephant Vajra Fist: Perfection (0% progress)

Nine Shadow Saber Technique: Perfection (43% progress)

Saber-Drawing Technique: Beginner (80% progress)

Flowing Clothes Skill: Transcendence (0% progress)

Lin Fei saw the system panel and found the progress of his Three Vitality Technique had reached 2% in just twelve hours of training.

This technique could increase progress by 1% every six hours, making his progress quite steady and reliable, just as Zhao Kongming had said.

At this rate, with twenty-four hours of training per day, Lin Fei could cultivate without stopping and increase its progress by 4% every day. In less than a month, he could break through to the second level. As for the future, that was another matter. At least for now, Lin Fei's training speed was fast.

Lin Fei also learned that the Acquired realm was not the nine levels he had imagined, but twelve, corresponding to the twelve meridians, also known as the Twelve Regular Channels.

If the human body was compared to a country, these channels were like canals and roads that connected the whole body and were very important. The purpose of Inner Power was to slowly open these channels, allowing the Inner Power to flow freely.

Once one reached the peak of the twelfth level and accumulated enough Inner Power, they could attempt to open the Ren Du channel of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians. If successful, it would be the Innate realm. Therefore, Inner Power was just a tool for opening the channels.

Lin Fei chose the Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian as his first channel and opened a little bit every day. At this rate, in about twenty days, or less than a month, he could open the Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian.

Lin Fei carefully experienced this process. His Three Vitality Technique was constantly running within his body, generating strands of inner power from his membranes, blood, and tendons, which eventually converged together, making his inner power grow stronger and stronger.

"For now, I don't have to worry about inner power. As time passes, my inner power will become even stronger! Now, I can go pick some acquired-level lightness and fist techniques."

Lin Fei had already made a plan in his mind, but it was getting late in the day, so he decided to go to the martial arts pavilion tomorrow.

The night passed without incident, and Lin Fei rested for the night. Sure enough, after about twelve hours, his progress in the first level of the Three Vitality Technique had increased by 2%. It made a whole day's progress, reaching 4%, just as he had estimated, which made Lin Fei even more reassured.

Lin Fei could now use the remaining two free spots for martial arts with peace of mind. He left his residence and went to the martial arts pavilion.

Upon seeing Lin Fei, the elder of the pavilion narrowed his eyes and asked, "Lin Fei, which elder did you apprentice yourself to?"

"Disciple apprenticed to Grand Elder Zhao."

"Elder Zhao the 'Empty Abyss Sword'? Back then, Elder Zhao had a formidable reputation in the martial arts world with his 'Empty Abyss Sword'. His one-man, one-sword style was renowned throughout the world!

Unfortunately, it seems like you're using a saber, young man. If you're interested, I can recommend some powerful sword techniques for you."

The elder seemed to know something about Zhao Kongming's reputation, but Lin Fei shook his head and said, "Disciple is also comfortable with the saber, so there's no need to trouble Elder."

"Suit yourself."

The elder lost interest and reclined in his chair, closing his eyes. Lin Fei turned and left, heading to the second level of the pavilion.

Although his master was a master of the sword, Lin Fei had no intention of giving up his saber technique, as he was already close to producing saber intent. Once he produced saber intent, it would be on par with innate.

Switching to a sword now would be like giving up a watermelon to pick up a sesame seed.

Even if his martial arts could self-cultivate, it would still be difficult to master them to perfection and even to produce saber intent or sword intent.

Lin Fei had never expected to master everything. That was impossible. He only needed to master his saber technique, his fist technique, and his lightness skill.

Lin Fei wanted to pick a fist technique first. He had previously practiced the Dragon-Elephant Vajra Fist, which was already perfection level. He intended to use it to comprehend fist intent, so even if he had to pick an acquired-level fist technique, it would have to be a powerful and forceful type, similar to the Dragon-Elephant Vajra Fist.

Lin Fei walked up to a row of bookshelves. On them were all kinds of martial arts techniques.

"Empty Bright Fist."

"Seven Wounds Fist."

"Shaking Mountains Fist."

"Devil Bull Fist."

...

There were so many martial arts techniques that it was dazzling.

However, Lin Fei eventually picked one.

"Triple Wave Technique!"

This was the martial art that Lin Fei chose.

According to the introduction, the Triple Wave Technique could mobilize the power of the whole body, including the power of qi, blood, muscles, and bones.

Then, each punch would be stronger than the last, like waves in the ocean, one wave after another.

This was very suitable for Lin Fei.

Lin Fei had very strong physical fitness. If he couldn't use his physical advantages in martial arts, it would be a waste.

Then, Lin Fei also picked a lightness skill.

This technique was not as demanding.

The lightness skill that Lin Fei chose was called the "Leaping Technique."

It was very different from the "Flowing Clothes Skill."

The Flowing Clothes Skill was very light and agile, allowing for quick movements in a small space.

The Leaping Technique was different.

It was an instantaneous explosive lightness skill that could make people travel a long distance in an instant. Its speed was astonishing!

Lin Fei's lightness skill was actually very difficult to achieve perfection level. He didn't even think about achieving perfection.

Therefore, when he chose the lightness skill, he naturally tried to make up for some of its shortcomings.

The Flowing Clothes Skill was agile but lacked explosive power and speed.

The Leaping Technique made up for this deficiency.

Lin Fei chose the two martial arts techniques and went straight to the elder.

"Elder, I have chosen these two martial arts techniques."

The elder handed Lin Fei two secret manuals and said, "As usual, you can only read them for two hours."

Lin Fei entered the practicing room. He was familiar with the place.

Inside the practicing room, Lin Fei opened the Triple Wave Technique manual.

Before this, he had only seen a rough introduction to it.

But now, as he read through the contents, he realized just how extraordinary the Triple Wave Technique was.

It used the circulation of inner power to stack power in a special way.

The Triple Wave Technique only had three moves in total, but each move was more powerful than the last.

However, in the beginner and proficient stages, the amount of power the Triple Wave Technique could stack was very limited.

But once one reached mastery, it was different.

In the mastery realm, the second move could stack 30% of the power from the first move, and the third could stack 30% of the power from the second move.

If one reached transcendence, it could stack 50% of the power.

And if one reached perfection with the Triple Wave Technique, it was even more terrifying.

The power of the second move would be doubled, and the power of the third would be also doubled from the second.

This meant that if one used the third move of the Triple Wave Technique at the perfection realm, its power would be four times that of the first move.

It was equal to unleashing four times the amount of power!
