"Blade techniques. Sword techniques. Fist techniques."
After looking through the list of various martial arts skills, Chen An felt somewhat helpless.
He realized that he couldn't make a choice at all.
If he were in a normal bookstore, he could freely flip through the books, then decide whether to buy them or not.
But, in this martial arts library, there was another rule.
Chen An couldn't even touch these books, let alone flip through them. He had to pick one, have someone help him pack it up, and then take it away.
Without being able to read the content, how could he make a choice?
This was the result of not understanding the situation.
If he were a true member of the Bai family, he could inquire about the strengths and weaknesses of various martial arts through various channels and select the martial art that suited him best.
After all, the Bai family had many members, and it was likely that someone had practiced all the martial arts here. With just a little inquiry, he could know the specific effects of each martial art.
But Chen An couldn't do that.
He didn't realize this beforehand, and White Qing didn't remind him either, whether she forgot to mention it or not.
This led to a somewhat embarrassing situation.
"Forget it."
After pondering for a moment, Chen An sighed and gave up struggling.
Just treat it like opening a blind box and relying on luck.
Since he got it for free, whatever he got would be considered a gain.
With this mindset, Chen An randomly picked up a book and walked out.
"Wind Chasing Blade Technique."
The person in charge of guarding the martial arts library glanced at it, then solemnly noted down, "Return the book in half a month, any questions?"
Chen An shook his head, then turned and left.
For a martial artist with internal energy like him, half a month was enough time to remember a normal martial art.
The timing was just right.
Back in the courtyard, Chen An opened the book and began reading it seriously.
Over the next few days, he studied this blade technique in the courtyard.
When he was in the martial arts library, Chen An chose this blade technique because he felt that compared to other martial arts, the blade technique was more effective in combat.
When he first started cultivating, he learned the Five Tiger Blade Technique. Although he had also practiced the Haisha Fist to perfection, he rarely used it.
Of course, having a blade and not using it, was that a lack of sense?
The introduction of the Haisha Fist claimed that after mastering it, one would not fear swords and knives, but in Chen An's opinion, it was total nonsense!
This so-called not fearing swords and knives referred to ordinary people wielding them.
However, if an equally skilled expert wielded a blade, that would be another story.
So among the various fist and blade techniques, Chen An decisively chose a blade technique.
The Wind Chasing Blade Technique shared similarities with the Five Tiger Blade Technique, emphasizing sharpness and speed in execution.
However, the biggest difference between martial arts and body tempering martial arts lay in the fact that martial arts required both internal and external energy to be used during execution.
For example, when Chen An used the Black Tiger Blade Technique, he only needed his own strength, at most enhancing his internal energy on the long blade to create a more terrifying killing force.
This was just the simplest use of internal energy.
Martial arts were a more advanced way of using energy, rather than simply enhancing the weapon with internal energy.
Although they appeared similar on the surface, they were actually quite different.
In just a few days, Chen An could already sense a difference.
He looked at his status:
Name: Chen An
Attributes: Strength (6.2), Physique (5.9), Spirit (2.4)
Source Energy: 20
Inherited Techniques: Bright Body Technique (Fifth Level), Green Pine Force (Third Level), Wind Chasing Blade Technique
Projection: Charging
The familiar upgrade template appeared before him, showing only a slight improvement in attributes compared to the past.
In this month, Chen An had not slackened at all. Whenever he had the opportunity, he would practice diligently.
Unfortunately, once he reached his current level, progress had become very slow.
Even the slight improvement in attributes, in Chen An's view, was probably more due to the few Body Tempering Pills he consumed, rather than his efforts.
With a silent sigh, Chen An looked at the Wind Chasing Blade Technique on his status.
After practicing for a few days, he had already grasped this martial art to a certain extent, so it appeared on the panel.
"Upgrade this skill?"
After a brief prompt, a familiar feeling spread throughout his body.
After a while, Chen An calmed down and gripped the blade in his hand.
Bang!
As the blade fell, there was a noticeable difference from before.
Although the technique itself seemed unchanged, the impact it created was much more terrifying.
With a single strike, the large stone block in the courtyard was directly cleaved in half, with a clean cut.
The shattered stones scattered in all directions, as if they had been exploded.
Seeing this effect, a smile appeared on Chen An's face, indicating his satisfaction.
The improvement in combat effectiveness from upgrading the martial art was truly remarkable.
After upgrading the Wind Chasing Blade Technique, Chen An didn't feel any increase in internal energy within his body, but the power of his strikes had increased significantly.
Previously, he couldn't have cleaved that large stone block with a single strike.
It wasn't that his strength was lacking, but his previous blade would have broken, even if it was reinforced with internal energy.
But now, he could achieve what he couldn't before, which was the change he had been seeking.
And Chen An could feel that the change was not just limited to that.
Casually reaching out his hand, droplets of internal energy spread throughout, enveloping his palm.
With his intention, internal energy spread to various parts of his body, to his feet, hands, and even clinging to his skin and clothes.
This was something he couldn't do before.
Upgrading a martial art didn't enhance internal energy or physical attributes. Instead, it improved the utilization and control of internal energy.
So far, the effect was quite good.
Of course, the consumption was also significant.
Chen An carefully checked.
By upgrading the Wind Chasing Blade Technique to perfection, he directly expended fifteen source energy points.
This consumption was definitely not small.
Name: Chen An
Attributes: Strength (6.2), Physique (5.9), Spirit (2.4)
Source Energy: 5
Inherited Techniques: Bright Body Technique (Fifth Level), Green Pine Force (Third Level), Wind Chasing Blade Technique (Perfected)
Projection: Charging
Staring at his remaining source energy, Chen An couldn't help but sigh quietly.
He was still very poor.
Not only lacking in silver, but also deficient in source energy.
He didn't know when he would be able to live a life without financial worries or energy deficiencies.
That seemed quite distant.
"As for what White Changren promised, I don't know when it will be delivered."
Standing in place, Chen An had this thought flashing through his mind once again.
While he was busy earning money and completing tasks, he didn't forget about the sinister items that could also grant "experience".
Because of his previous request, White Changren specifically assured him that a batch of goods would be delivered during this time.
Thinking about the timing, it should be happening soon.
He just didn't know how many of the items in this batch would be useful and how much energy they could provide.
Various thoughts crossed Chen An's mind as he pondered this.
And as he was thinking about it, there was a sound of footsteps coming from outside.
"Blade techniques. Sword techniques. Fist techniques."
