"Choose Martial Arts. Once you select this, it's all yours. The least favorable option is choosing elixirs; everything else is external and not very useful for a boyfriend right now."
Lin was still pondering while scratching his chin when unexpectedly, Dream Source crawled out from his arms, standing in front of Lin and staring at the screen's panel.
"Hmm?"
This answer coincided perfectly with Lin's inner thoughts. He didn't expect that this alien, who seemed clueless about other matters, would be exceptionally perceptive regarding ancient martial arts training.
"If you choose Martial Arts, it's best to select Inner Strength techniques because your boyfriend is just starting out. Relying solely on basic Inner Strength will create a significant gap compared to others. Having a solid Martial Arts foundation will make training much more efficient!"
As Dream Source mentioned, Martial Arts also has its ranks, generally divided into ordinary skills, Heritage Skills, Special Skills, and techniques considered taboo known as Forbidden Techniques.
Among these skills, ordinary skills are the most common, like Basic Internal Skill and Inner Strength, which can be found anywhere.
The Basic Internal Skill is somewhat special; although it is common, its universality and strong foundational nature place it between ordinary skills and Heritage Skills.
It cannot advance to Heritage Skills due to its limitations. While it is easy to cultivate Inner Qi, it is restricted to foundational training. Its cultivation speed is too slow and not suitable as a primary Martial Arts practice.
At most, one can cultivate it to level 10 in the interstellar ranking before needing to switch to another Martial Arts style; otherwise, no matter how good the subsequent abilities are, they will fall behind.
In the vast sea of talents in the universe, not every talent can succeed due to limiting factors and resource constraints.
No matter how good the abilities are, without corresponding cultivation resources, they are useless—it's said that even skilled cooks cannot make a meal without rice.
Now Lin has already gained an understanding of the world of ancient martial arts through Basic Internal Skill and has laid a solid foundation through explanatory texts. What he lacks is experience; his practice of Basic Internal Skill is slightly insufficient.
Therefore, what Lin needs most now are advanced Martial Arts—whether Heritage Skills or Special Skills—both of which are far superior to Basic Internal Skill.
The distinction between Heritage Skills and Special Skills cannot be clearly defined; both have their unique characteristics. Heritage Skills are more traditional and orthodox Martial Arts, often possessed by prominent families, exuding a strong presence when practiced.
On the other hand, Special Skills are rare and passed down in secrecy, typically held by the descendants of reclusive masters. These skills are often more peculiar compared to Heritage Skills, known for their cunning and unconventional approaches to Martial Arts.
Lastly, the so-called Forbidden Techniques are a contradictory combination that everyone seeks after while simultaneously trying to eradicate. Their power stems from an obsession with cultivation, to the extent that everything else in the world becomes irrelevant, even human life.
This aspect makes them so powerful that people fear them. Once such Martial Arts appear, society will undoubtedly strive to eliminate them at their inception.
These are commonly referred to as Demonic Cultivation Methods, with representative Martial Arts like the Star Absorption Technique and the Devouring Infant Technique, which harm others' Internal Power or even lives to strengthen oneself.
Such thieving Martial Arts instill fear and resentment among people, thus they are not allowed to exist in the world.
What Lin needs most right now is a book on Heritage Skills or Special Skills in Martial Arts; only such Martial Arts can prevent him from falling behind at the starting line.
"Alien, I didn't realize you were so gifted in this area of cultivation!"
Lin was taken aback by Dream Source's performance. He was genuinely impressed and excitedly reached out to touch Dream Source's face, scrutinizing her features as if he could discover something extraordinary there.
Unknowingly, their faces drew closer together, Lin's curious eyes hovering right in front of Dream Source's. They could feel each other's warm breath between them.
"What are you doing..."
Even the adorably naive Dream Source couldn't help but blush deeply, a shy flush spreading across her cheeks as she struggled to push Lin's face away.
"Ah? Haha, just a bit curious..."
Realizing that the atmosphere was a bit off, too suggestive, Lin scratched his head and quickly shifted back a little.
For a moment, neither of them dared to look at each other. Their eyes darted around, occasionally glancing up to steal a look at one another.
When their gazes met again, it seemed like sparks could fly, and they hurriedly averted their eyes, not even daring to sneak a peek anymore.
"What am I doing! How shameless!"
Lin pinched his thigh, mentally berating himself for his earlier behavior. The straight man syndrome was truly terrifying; it was clearly a perfect opportunity, yet he turned it into something shameless.
"Just now... it felt so strange, as if something was about to jump out of my throat..."
Holding her chest, her heart raced with each rise and fall, her cheeks growing redder as she felt flustered.
Although they had experienced various awkward moments together, this was the first time they truly felt the "flavor of love," leaving both of them somewhat at a loss.
After a long while, Lin was the first to regain his composure. With strong willpower and the powerful traits of his straight man syndrome, he forced himself to snap back to reality.
"Um, I should check the gift pack first."
Whether he was talking to himself or to Dream Source, Lin mumbled as he clicked on the Martial Arts section.
Life is often tragic; Lin Xin was distracted and accidentally clicked on the wrong category. He intended to look for an Inner Strength technique but ended up selecting the Auxiliary Martial Arts instead.
[Ding! You have selected Auxiliary Martial Arts. The gift pack has been opened!]
"Uh..." Lin was left dumbfounded.
"What happened with your boyfriend?" Dream Source leaned in closer.
"I can't believe you, Yo-yo!"
I felt utterly despondent, as if my heart had crashed against a wall. It was true that beauty often attracted heroes; I hadn't even fallen for the beauty yet, and retribution had already come!
[Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained the auxiliary Martial Arts "Destruction Star Refinement Technique."]
The System's prompt echoed in my ears, and beside me, Moe Source picked up the manual that had fallen out of the gift pack, looking at it curiously.
What appeared was a light blue manual, seemingly as thick as a dictionary, locked with a pure white jade clasp. The embedded parts of its exterior were made of an unknown material, a semi-transparent crystal, with specks of blue light flickering within it, resembling a starry crystal ornament.
"Destruction Star Refinement Technique?"
Muttering this name, all the disappointment in Lin Xin vanished, replaced by a wave of sarcasm. He really wanted to vent his frustrations on whoever named this Martial Arts!
Wasn't the name of this Martial Arts a bit too cliché? It was simply unbearable!
"Although the name sounds somewhat tacky, the appearance is quite impressive!"
When Lin saw the manual's design, he couldn't think of anything else and just wanted to take a closer look at it. Even a fool could understand that this Martial Arts looked amazing!
