Chapter 5 Deep Blue, give me some points!
At the Embroidered Uniform Guard headquarters, Jia Huan, Zhang Cheng, and their two strongmen exchanged a few flattering words before heading off to attend to their business.
Zhang Cheng, along with Jia Huan, submitted his meritorious service in solving the case, which led to Jia Huan's promotion to the rank of Captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
At the same time, Zhang Cheng also gave Jia Huan the standard external martial arts manual "Xuanjia Forging Body Technique" and the standard sword technique "Xiuchun Soul-Severing Blade" of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and instructed him to practice them diligently.
Finally, after exchanging a few more pleasantries, the two parted ways for the time being.
Jia Huan returned to his "dormitory" in the Jinyiwei (Imperial Guard) headquarters, opened the martial arts manual, and began to browse through it carefully.
"The Xuanjia Body Forging Technique is an external martial art developed by the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Its core is to strengthen muscles and bones and temper the skin and flesh. It requires long periods of horse stance training, combined with breathing exercises."
"You need to stand in the meditation posture for more than two hours every day, and you need to persist in this practice for a long time to see results."
"In addition to diligently studying and practicing the techniques, it is also necessary to use medicinal baths as an aid. After practicing, one should soak the whole body in deer bone and aconite soup to allow the medicinal power to penetrate the muscles and bones, resolve blood stasis and hidden injuries, and strengthen muscle resilience."
"Among the external martial arts of this school are moves such as the Xuanjia Fist and the Bone-Shattering Palm, which are extremely powerful once mastered."
After browsing through the "Mysterious Armor Body Forging Technique," Jia Huan let out a long breath, and then a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.
This external cultivation technique is extremely difficult for ordinary people to practice, requiring both years of arduous physical training and the assistance of numerous medicinal herbs.
Therefore, although the technique is extremely powerful, only a handful of people within the Embroidered Uniform Guard can master it.
only……
For Jia Huan, who possesses the Deep Blue skill point system, is cultivating the technique difficult?
nonexistent!
"Deep Blue, give me some points! Upgrade the 'Mystic Armor Body Forging Technique' to the third level!"
[The host has consumed 350 Deep Blue Attribute Points, and the "Mystic Armor Forging Technique" has been upgraded to the third level.]
Adding points to the "Mystic Armor Body Forging Technique" costs 50 Dark Blue attribute points for level one, 100 for level two, 200 for level three, and so on.
The amount doubles each time, and so on.
Therefore, this time, a total of 350 Deep Blue attribute points were consumed.
As the system's voice fell, an indescribable burning sensation instantly erupted from the depths of my dantian, like a dormant volcano being suddenly awakened.
This heat flow is not a gentle spring, but rather carries an overwhelming and powerful scouring force, rushing wildly along the established meridian routes. Wherever it passes, the muscle fibers seem to be repeatedly kneaded, stretched, and reorganized by countless invisible hands.
Jia Huan could clearly "hear" the faint "crackling" sounds coming from his body. It was the soft sound of his muscles and bones being tempered by the heat, like bamboo shoots growing in spring or old trees sprouting new branches.
The joints, which were originally a little stiff, now seemed to have been injected with the purest lubricant, becoming exceptionally flexible.
On the skin's surface, a fine layer of black impurities was forcibly expelled along with the sweat. These were impurities and hidden injuries accumulated in the body, now being ruthlessly washed away by this domineering force.
Even more remarkably, a wealth of insights into the cultivation of the three levels of the "Mysterious Armor Body Forging Technique" flooded into my mind instantly, as if they were already etched into my soul.
Those martial arts moves and power techniques that were originally obscure and difficult to understand have now become crystal clear, as if he has been practicing diligently for decades, and every movement and every breath naturally matches the essence of the technique.
As the heat finally subsided, an unprecedented sense of fulfillment filled my entire body.
Jia Huan clenched his fist, his knuckles cracking crisply, revealing the incredibly defined muscles in his arm, which exuded explosive power.
"Is this what it feels like to have cultivated the 'Mysterious Armor Body Forging Technique' to the third level?"
"My speed, strength, defense, and stamina have all improved by many levels compared to before. I feel like I could smash a house wall with a single punch now!" Jia Huan exclaimed.
The feeling of instantly cultivating martial arts to a high level is truly exhilarating!
After upgrading the "Mysterious Armor Bone Forging Technique", Jia Huan opened the "Embroidered Spring Soul-Severing Blade" and browsed it carefully.
He currently has 50 points of Dark Blue attribute, which is not enough to further improve the "Mysterious Armor Forging Bone Technique". He can only improve his swordsmanship first.
After Jia Huan finished reading "The Embroidered Spring and the Soul-Shattering Blade," he immediately said:
"Deep Blue, give me some points! Level up 'Embroidered Spring Soul-Severing Blade' to level one!"
[The host has consumed 50 Deep Blue Attribute Points to upgrade "Embroidered Spring Soul-Severing Blade" to the first level.]
In an instant, an indescribable, strange feeling swept over Jia Huan's entire body.
It was not physical pain, but a violent shock on the level of the soul.
He seemed to be instantly pulled into a pure white space, and a brocade spring knife appeared out of thin air in his hand.
Immediately afterwards, countless fragments of memories flooded into his mind like a tidal wave.
He "saw" a blurry figure wielding a knife amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood, one strike, two strikes, hundreds of strikes...
The figure's movements went from clumsy to fluid, from slow to swift, ultimately transforming into a sharp and incomparable blade of light.
Jia Huan subconsciously had a thought, and the knife at his waist seemed to come alive, emitting a clear dragon's roar, and automatically drew half an inch from its sheath.
A chilling aura of blade energy instantly spread out, making the air around him seem to freeze.
That wasn't his own power, but rather the "sword intent" of the first level of "Embroidered Spring Soul-Severing Blade" that Shen Lan forcibly poured in.
He felt as if he had transformed into a drawn blade, his mind now devoid of any distracting thoughts, leaving only a single, pure intention—to slash!
Cut off all obstacles in our path, sever the enemy's throat, and sever all the chaos in this world!
"Is this... the feeling of the first level?"
Jia Huan exhaled a breath of stale air, briefly sensed the intent of the sword, and then opened his eyes.
"I've used up all my Deep Blue attribute points, reached level three of the 'Mysterious Armor Bone Forging Technique,' and level one of the 'Embroidered Spring Soul-Severing Blade.' Now my strength should be enough to kill many so-called 'experts' in the martial arts world," Jia Huan said with a smile.
After saying that, he opened the system panel.
[Host: Jia Huan]
[Learned martial arts: Mysterious Armor Bone Forging Technique (Level 3), Embroidered Spring Soul-Severing Blade (Level 1)]
[Overall Strength Rating: Peak Second-Tier Martial Artist]
[Dark Blue Attribute Points: 0]
Looking at the system panel, Jia Huan couldn't help but frown.
With such a significant improvement, is it still only possible to reach the peak of second-rate status?
"It seems I haven't apprehended and executed enough criminals. I need to keep working hard."
"Only by killing or capturing enough evil people, and by making them evil enough, can I become stronger. I am irreconcilable with evil!" Jia Huan exclaimed.
……
After resting for a night in the Jinyiwei (Imperial Guard) dormitory, Jia Huan hummed a tune and rode his horse back to the Jia family mansion the next day.
On his first day on the job, he was promoted and his martial arts skills improved. He was having a really great time!
However, just half an hour later, before Jia Huan had even arrived at the Jia Mansion, he ran into a carriage on Ningrong Street.
"You unfilial son, why don't you strip this skin off me!"
The carriage came to a sudden stop, accompanied by a loud shout, and a middle-aged man who looked refined and dignified stepped out.
The visitor was none other than Jia Huan's adoptive father—Jia Zheng!
