"Oh? I would like to hear more about it."
Lin quickly straightened his expression, put away the kitchen knife, and wanted to listen carefully to what the bearded man had discovered after stumbling twice.
When it came to strength, the bearded man's face became serious as he said, "Your martial arts are exquisite, showing the mark of a master. However, your understanding of martial arts is too superficial; you only have rigid techniques and lack the iron-blooded spirit that a warrior should possess."
"Iron-blooded?"
Raising an eyebrow, Lin pondered with pursed lips. He was just a chef skilled in martial arts; he had never really thought deeply about the essence of being a warrior or the heart of a martial artist.
"Well..." After some thought, Bai Quexin realized he might have been too hasty; it seemed Lin did not understand.
In the realm of martial artists, Lin was merely a novice who needed a good mentor for detailed guidance. This meant that Bai Quexin would need to pay more attention in the future.
"Forget it; it's too early for you to grasp all this now. Just remember that ancient martial arts arose because people in ancient times used martial arts to uphold justice, understand?"
"Uphold justice? Is there still a world where one rides on horseback with a sword?"
Faced with Bai Quexin's seriousness, Lin scoffed softly and seemed indifferent. Bai Quexin merely shook his head but did not press further.
At this moment, no matter what was said, it was too abstract for Lin to comprehend. However, in the near future, he would come to understand what it meant to sacrifice oneself for righteousness, what martial way truly is, and what chivalry entails.
...
Setting aside the abstract theoretical teachings, Bai Quexin pointed out several flaws in Lin's approach. He had only practiced on his own for a while and was merely an amateur martial artist; he was full of vulnerabilities from head to toe.
First, there is Lin's issue with action. Without the movement techniques from the System, his steps are chaotic during attacks, easily seen through by anyone with keen eyes.
His Martial Arts also have problems; the application is a major issue. Martial Arts are rigid, while people are dynamic. Perhaps because Martial Arts come from the System, Lin's execution tends to be more mechanical.
This issue with execution requires some adjustment. Beyond that, the most important point is that Lin's Martial Arts lack a foundation.
Some might ask, isn't Lin's Left-Handed Blade already at level A? Isn't that a foundation?
That understanding is incorrect. A foundation refers to Martial Arts that can grow alongside the practitioner, or it can be a unique skill.
For example, Lü Liang's Leaf Piercing Blossom is the foundation of his Martial Arts because he has thoroughly mastered this skill.
As Lü Liang grows, the power of his Martial Arts will significantly increase. Even if one day Leaf Piercing Blossom no longer meets his needs, he can easily switch to a different leg technique or create a new martial arts technique based on it.
The Left-Handed Blade, however, does not work that way. Lin's understanding of sword techniques is still too shallow. While it may not be apparent now, if he does not timely change this mindset and training method for his Martial Arts, he will ultimately go down the wrong path.
The last point is Lin's Inner Strength issue. Up until now, he is still practicing the Basic Internal Skill, which has reached maximum level but has yet to find a suitable replacement Inner Strength method.
"Well, there’s no rush regarding Inner Strength. I see your Inner Strength has some Special qualities; it should have a fire attribute. It hasn't stabilized completely yet, so you can explore it on your own for now."
"Also, practicing Basic Internal Skill is beneficial for you. It's excellent for building a foundation. At your level of 8, using it at level 0 won't pose too many problems."
Seeing the Bearded Man stroking his chin, Lin Ye summarized: "So I just need to learn another movement technique and find a lifelong Martial Art to use, right?"
Furrowing his brows, the Bearded Man felt that Lin's understanding of martial arts was problematic. However, while his words sounded awkward, they weren't entirely off base.
"That's about it. I can help you with your movement technique. First, I'll pass on a basic movement technique to you. You should focus on your swordsmanship since you already have a foundation in that area. Of course, it also depends on your personal preferences... As for the inner strength technique, it's best not to change it for now. Once you enroll, there will be professional assessments, and the teachers will help you choose your martial arts."
After listening to the guidance from the bearded man, Lin Xin had some thoughts. He waved his hand and said, "Teacher Bai, that's enough for today. I need to go back and think about the movement technique and swordsmanship."
With that, Lin turned and walked into the house without any hesitation.
"Hey? This kid, I haven't finished training him yet!"
Watching Lin's departing figure, the bearded man's expression soured a bit. Then he realized and muttered to himself, "How is he going to figure out the movement technique? Does he really carry around a few beginner-level martial arts manuals?"
...
The bearded man Bai Quexin naturally couldn't imagine that Lin didn't bring beginner-level martial arts manuals but rather had access to a shop.
Over the past month, Lin had accumulated quite a bit of wealth. He already had 18,569 Hero Coins on him, which was an astonishing amount. He had earned nearly 200 million Interstellar Coins.
Of course, compared to the great families in the starry sea, this was just a drop in the bucket, but for Lin at this moment, it was more than enough.
After accounting for the usual energy consumption of the Destruction Nest and his reserves, Lin could use around 15,000 Hero Coins. He planned to exchange all these Hero Coins for items he could use.
After some consideration, Lin ultimately decided on two martial arts techniques.
【Shadow Step】
【Price: 5000】
**Introduction**: This movement technique comes from the Advanced Martial Arts Civilization. Its founder, with a creative mind, combined tracking skills and movement techniques to create this style. Once mastered, it allows the practitioner to stick to the enemy like a shadow.
**Cold Light Flash**
**Price**: 8500
**Introduction**: This technique belongs to the upper tier of Ancient Martial Arts from the Azure Planet. It is a sword technique focused on speed, classified as a variant of Batto-ryu. This technique emphasizes that once mastered, one can take a life in the blink of a sword flash, hence the name Cold Light Flash.
In this way, both the focus on movement and Martial Arts have been resolved. Moreover, in pursuit of understanding Martial Arts, Lin chose not to engage in rote learning but instead committed to rigorous training through personal experience.
Aside from Martial Arts, Lin also picked up the long-abandoned issue of his endowment.
Indeed, the thrill-seeking Lin once again exchanged for Divine Residue, this time directly obtaining ten pieces to demonstrate his determination to take risks.
Ten pieces of residue and two Martial Arts manuals were neatly placed on the table. The Live Stream Stone circled around the table twice before extending the Camera, almost poking into Lin's face.
"Hey, you better think this through. If there are any issues with using Divine Residue this time, I can't guarantee your safety!"
Lin chuckled lightly with his head down. He slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with determination.
"I've been prepared for this. The next month will be a devilish training!"
