Modify Martial Skills!

In just a few breaths, the surging momentum slowly came to a halt.

Ye Feng examined his body, feeling the surging power within him and his crystal-clear realm—Body Refining Tenth Level!

"Body Refining Tenth Level!"

Ye Feng suddenly stood up from the bed, clenched his fists, and felt the power that almost burst his body. An incredulous joy spread across his face.

"I... I really jumped directly from Body Refining Fourth Level to Body Refining Tenth Level!"

In the Body Refining Realm, from the first to the tenth level, each advancement required immense accumulation and polishing.

The original host had cultivated for over two years to reach the Fourth Level. Yet, he, with just a thought and a modification of the "production date," possessed the result of ten years of hard training, directly reaching the peak of the Body Refining Realm!

"This feeling... is too awesome!" Ye Feng swung his arms, creating a gust of wind, his strength exploding. The previous feeling of weakness and helplessness was completely gone. Now, he felt he could punch a cow to death! No, it would be more than enough to kill ten of his former selves!

"The days of being ridiculously weak are finally over!" Ye Feng excitedly paced twice in the small wooden hut.

However, he soon remembered the system's second rule: each item could only be modified once.

"Alas, what a pity." Ye Feng felt a slight regret.

"If I could modify it infinitely, wouldn't I be able to directly change my cultivation to ten thousand years later and become invincible in the world?"

But this thought flashed by.

"One shouldn't be too greedy," Ye Feng chuckled.

"Having such a heaven-defying system is already a tremendous Opportunity. At least now I've reached the sky in one step, transforming from the bottom-tier Body Refining Fourth Level to Body Refining Tenth Level. This is enough to get rid of my miserable life! When I break through to a major realm later, like the Qi Gathering Realm, I can refresh the modification permission. Then, I can modify my cultivation again, leading to another huge leap!"

Ye Feng's mood brightened again.

Feeling the power of the Body Refining Tenth Level, although he hadn't fully controlled it yet, the strength contained in every gesture filled Ye Feng with a sense of security.

However, Ye Feng soon discovered a problem.

"Wait... ten years of hard training only brought me from Body Refining Fourth Level to Body Refining Tenth Level?"

Ye Feng frowned.

"Although it's a jump across six minor realms, which sounds like a lot, is... is this a bit too slow?"

Ye Feng had integrated the original host's memories and knew that among the Outer Court disciples of the Feiyun Sect, those with better talent, like the inner court reserves, could cultivate from Body Refining Fourth Level to Body Refining Tenth Level in about four to five years.

Yet, his modification of "ten years later" cultivation only reached the Body Refining Tenth Level.

This meant... the talent of this body was even worse than he had imagined!

Not just a little bit worse!

"Damn, this is so rigged?" Ye Feng's mouth twitched.

"It seems the original owner getting into the Feiyun Sect was pure luck, or maybe they got in through connections? Otherwise, with this talent, they probably wouldn't even qualify for the Outer Court."

Poor talent, slow cultivation speed, these were fundamental flaws.

Even after modifying it once with the system, it could only reach this level.

It seemed that improving talent would also be an important issue he needed to solve in the future.

"Forget it, I won't think about this for now," Ye Feng shook his head.

"At least my strength has improved now, and the system can do more than just modify cultivation, right?"

Ye Feng looked at a rusty iron sword in the corner. It was what the original owner used to practice Basic Fist Art.

"Since it can modify my own cultivation, then... what about cultivation techniques and martial skills? Do they count as items? Can they be modified?" A glint flashed in Ye Feng's eyes as he decided to continue experimenting.

He first recalled the "Basic Sword Art" he was cultivating. This was an introductory sword art that all Outer Court disciples of the Feiyun Sect had to learn. The original owner had been practicing it for over a year and had barely reached the introductory level.

"System, try to modify the cultivation time for my 'Basic Sword Art' to ten years later!" Ye Feng concentrated.

[Command received! Modifying cultivation time for "Basic Sword Art"...]

[Modification successful! Time set to ten years later.]

Buzz!

A massive stream of information instantly flooded Ye Feng's mind. It contained all sorts of insights, experiences, and techniques related to Basic Sword Art, as if he had truly undergone Hard Training for ten years!

Every move, every change in sword stance, the technique of applying force, the timing... countless details became clear and understandable. The previously awkward sword art was now imprinted into the depths of Ye Feng's soul like instinct.

"It really works!" Ye Feng rejoiced inwardly. He picked up the iron sword from the corner and swung it a few times.

Swish, swish, swish!

Sword light flashed. Although he was using a rusty iron sword, his sword moves were fluid, natural, and incredibly precise. Compared to the original owner's fumbling movements before, he was like a completely different person!

This was no longer just introductory; it was masterful, and he even had a hint of his own understanding!

"Excellent!" Ye Feng's eyes brightened further.

"What about martial skills I haven't practiced?"

Ye Feng thought of the "Basic Fist Art" the original owner had envied but never had the chance to learn or the money to buy the manual for.

"System, modify the cultivation time for Basic Fist Art to ten years later!" Ye Feng tried again.

[Command error! Target "Basic Fist Art" is not in the host's cultivation sequence and cannot be modified.]

As expected, it didn't work.

Ye Feng wasn't surprised. The logic was sound. How could he modify something he hadn't learned, something without a "production date"?

It had to be something he already possessed, something he was currently "producing" or "using."

"Then, what about a martial skill I've already learned, but one of a higher level?" Ye Feng thought of the only other martial skill the original owner had learned. It was a Human-grade Mid-tier Martial Skill called the Cloud Soaring Sword Art, which the original owner had managed to learn by spending all their savings and pulling some strings.

The original owner had only just begun cultivating this martial skill, not even mastering the first movement.

"This is it!" Ye Feng's eyes sharpened.

"System, modify the cultivation time for my Cloud Soaring Sword Art to ten years later!"

[Command received! Modifying cultivation time for "Cloud Soaring Sword Art"...]

[Modification successful! Time set to ten years later.]

Boom!

This time, the stream of information flooding into Ye Feng's mind was more than ten times larger than when he modified the Basic Sword Art!

Countless exquisite sword movements, profound energy circulation methods, changes in sword momentum, and insights into the artistic conception...

It was like a river bursting its banks, impacting Ye Feng's Sea of Consciousness.

Ye Feng felt as if he had transformed into a sword master who had hard-trained the Cloud Soaring Sword Art for ten years, reaching an unprecedented depth of understanding for this sword technique!

"A sword like flowing clouds, ethereal and unpredictable... So that's how it is!" Ye Feng muttered to himself, his Iron Sword unconsciously swinging.

He didn't deliberately think about the movements, but every stance and every variation of the Cloud Soaring Sword Art unfolded naturally.

The sword light rippled like water waves, sometimes as gentle as a breeze rustling willow branches, sometimes as swift as a startled swan's reflection. The sword momentum was ethereal and unpredictable, displaying the characteristics of the Cloud Soaring Sword Art cultivated to the Perfection Realm!

"Perfection Realm! I actually modified the Cloud Soaring Sword Art directly to the Perfection Realm!"

Ye Feng stopped his sword movements, feeling the vast sword dao insights in his mind and the perfect control his body had over this martial skill. His heart churned like stormy waves!
