Note: If you're a true brother, come and fight me!
Looking at the attributes of the booklet in front of her, Feng Xue was in a great mood. Although it didn't seem to be a high-end Sword Technique from a martial arts system, basics are never outdated, especially since this one seemed to be a general-purpose one.
"Judging from the notes, it seems to be a legendary item? But I've never played with this thing before, I only know about paralysis rings and stuff..." Feng Xue shook her head, not thinking too much about it. Instead, she spread out a cloth, intending to copy down the basic Sword Technique techniques first, and then think about how to use this thing.
However, the moment the book was turned, the manual transformed into a stream of light and entered his body. At the same time, a series of information appeared in his mind.
This emergence wasn't like Tag that needed to be learned; rather, it was as if he had read it a thousand times, clearly integrated into his consciousness.
Just like the title of the manual suggests, it is indeed Sword Technique, but it only teaches a small part of the Sword Technique. The majority of the content is about how to use Sword Technique with various different weapons.
This sounds very strange, but Feng Xue did indeed obtain such secret manuals, starting with swords, then knives, then spears and clubs, and finally even including unorthodox weapons such as sickles and spiked clubs.
This involves not only the application of techniques, but also how to determine the weapon's center of gravity, how to more effectively utilize the weapon's advantages, and how to use the weapon as a sword.
In short, after learning this secret manual, no matter what weapon you use—knife, spear, sword, halberd, axe, hook, or fork—it will all become a "sword" in your hands.
"Can I say now, 'Swordsmanship is not such an inconvenient thing'?" Feng Xue casually tossed the salt onto the sofa, then pulled out the Disassembly Madonna. Although she had removed the filter, it was already late at night, and a faint, cold light flowed like water on the sharp blade.
Although it was a weapon that had been used for quite some time, holding it now gave her a completely new feeling. Feng Xue originally didn't know anything about Saber Technique or knife Sword Technique. Her use of the Disassembly Madonna relied more on the sharpness of the weapon and her understanding of human anatomy. Of course, she also had some assassin's killing skills, but the knowledge given by the assassin Tag was more about how to infiltrate and kill with one blow. She didn't know much about the use of weapons.
Now, with the Disassembly Madonna in her hand, Feng Xue could instinctively understand its center of gravity, judge the best angles for slashing and thrusting, and slightly adjust her grip, making the already useful weapon even more easy to use.
Wu doesn't need to sleep. Feng Xue's sleep is merely a form of rest and relaxation. Now that he has a new toy, he no longer has the idea of being lazy. He picked up his knife and went to the training room, starting to practice according to the methods he remembered.
"Although there's no direct increase in lethality, the accuracy and the way it's applied are significantly improved. Moreover, not only has the ability to Disassembly Madonna been greatly enhanced, but the use of the Sleeve Blade has also become much smoother. In this way, the Blade of Suffocation isn't just for supplementing damage anymore."
Feng Xue casually inserted the Disassembly Madonna into his Storage Bag. His movements were smoother than before, and his aim at the bag opening was significantly improved. He then checked his "Proficiency Panel"—
This was a byproduct of his learning the Bu Tiange, but in a sense, its value surpasses that of the Bu Tiange itself.
Because it signifies that Feng Xue has activated the "Mastery System." This is not the kind of system found in other systems, but rather an intuitive panel that displays her various skills and martial arts mastery. Furthermore, by learning the corresponding knowledge, she can improve her mastery.
Without this thing, Feng Xue wouldn't even dare to hope that she could learn anything from the Peerless Martial Art, but with it, everything is different.
As Feng Xue reads books, his corresponding knowledge will also increase, and this increase in knowledge means that his comprehension and application of the corresponding knowledge will also improve.
However, unlike the original work, this panel doesn't grant you a corresponding level of mastery simply by reading a book. Instead, it differentiates based on your level of comprehension. Correspondingly, it also removes the constraint that each level can only be provided by one book.
As Feng Xue continues to unlock Peerless Martial Art manuals, his martial arts skills will inevitably improve, eventually making him a martial arts prodigy, one in a million.
No, if we take into account her additional technical skills, Feng Xue could become a polymath in no time.
Of course, this will take time.
Feng Xue's consciousness touched the Proficiency Panel, and his various skill levels appeared accordingly. As a modern person, his basic skill level was around 30 or 40. Not to mention deleting the account and starting over, he had basically given up on martial arts. However, after studying for these days, his Sword Technique, lightness skill, Finger Technique, and Internal Force had all improved quite a bit. In particular, his Finger Technique, after basically mastering the Sunflower Acupuncture Hand Technique, a martial art that was easy to learn but difficult to master, jumped directly to over 70 points.
As he learned basic Sword Technique, his Sword Technique level increased to around fifty. Although it was still a bit embarrassing, he could at least be considered average.
"It's only a dozen points less than the Sunflower Acupuncture Hand Technique... Is it really because the skill book is 'completely mastered'? Or is it that this basic Sword Technique is not low-rated in the Taiwu System?" Feng Xue looked at his somewhat unusual increase in skill level. Although it was only a little more than expected, it seemed to mean many things he didn't understand.
"Unfortunately, my Proficiency Panel isn't a true panel; it can't display the grade of each manual."
Feng Xue felt a slight regret, but she still drew the Blade of Suffocation, reversed her grip on the Disassembly Madonna, and began practicing her swordsmanship in the training room.
According to the description of the basic Sword Technique, this martial art can also increase in power through continuous use. Although he didn't know whether increasing the power would also improve his skill level, even just considering the power, he planned to set aside some time each day to practice swordsmanship.
"Copying books, reading books, practicing swordsmanship... my schedule is a bit too full..." Feng Xue sighed, feeling very fortunate that she no longer needed to sleep and could have an extra seven or eight hours each day to strengthen herself.
But today...
"First, I'll copy a few False Book and have Hom sell them. On one hand, I'll earn some money to cover the entrance fee to the Garbage Dump, and on the other hand, I'll deepen Hom's impression of me, making him believe that I really am a Book Copyist... But I can't copy any secret manuals. Hmm, writing whatever I want probably won't fetch a good price. I'll recite some of Mr. Lu Xun's articles from memory..."
