Add Points! Changes!

Xiao Huo had clearly taken full account of the advantages of Qin Yan's Third-Stage Spear Technique.

The Martial Skills he selected were all ones that could maximize the strengths of Qin Yan's spear technique.

Qin Yan merely swept his gaze over the two Exquisite Grade Martial Skills before decisively ruling them out.

He had the System Panel, his greatest advantage.

As long as he put in enough effort, there was no Martial Skill he could not learn!

Naturally, what he sought was the strongest power within the same realm!

His attention settled entirely on the two Top Grade Martial Skills: the Mystic Ice Spear Technique and the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear.

The Mystic Ice Spear Technique excelled in its powerful control and defensive abilities.

"Ice Skin" could significantly improve his survivability, while its accompanying chilling effect could greatly restrict opponents in battle and create opportunities.

Its style leaned toward calmness, unpredictability, and waiting for the right moment to strike.

Its drawback was that its absolute offensive burst might be somewhat lacking.

Furthermore, its adaptability to extreme environments, such as scorching heat, might be affected to some extent.

The Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear excelled in its ultimate defense, domineering counterattack capabilities, and fierce style that integrated offense and defense with broad, powerful movements.

It did not pursue flashy techniques, instead placing greater emphasis on absolute strength and defense. It carried the domineering spirit of overwhelming ten techniques with sheer force.

The "Counter-Shock Qi" it cultivated was even more of a headache for opponents.

Its style perfectly matched the upright, indomitable conviction in the Spear Path that Qin Yan yearned for in his heart.

After weighing everything, the scales in Qin Yan's heart had already tipped.

"Teacher."

He directly sent Xiao Huo a message through his Smart Bracelet.

His tone was firm. "I've thought it through.

"I choose the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear."

After sending the message, Qin Yan patiently waited for a reply.

Around fifteen minutes later, Xiao Huo's response arrived.

"Qin Yan, you have a good eye."

There was a trace of approval in Xiao Huo's voice, but even more solemnity.

"Even at Magic Capital Martial University, where hidden talents abound, this Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear is considered a top-tier Body Tempering Martial Art with enormous potential."

Then his tone shifted. "However, I must remind you that its difficulty is also universally acknowledged to be immense.

"Many proud geniuses have chosen it over the years, but very few have managed to fully master it.

"Many ultimately had no choice but to switch to other Martial Skills midway through, wasting precious time for nothing.

"Are you... truly certain you still wish to choose this Body Tempering Martial Art?

"If you change your mind now and choose an Exquisite Grade Martial Skill instead, it is not too late."

Rather than being intimidated by Xiao Huo's introduction, Qin Yan's eyes grew even more fervent and resolute.

The harder it was, the more it proved its value!

This was exactly what he wanted!

"Teacher, I've already thought it through completely. I'm certain I want to choose the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear."

Qin Yan replied once more, his voice steady and confident. "I believe I can conquer it."

"...All right."

On the other end of the communication, Xiao Huo looked at Qin Yan's resolute reply.

He let out a long sigh, his expression complicated.

He did not know whether giving Qin Yan the information on this Martial Skill had been the right choice.

When he had first selected it, he had indeed felt that the Martial Skill's fierce and domineering nature suited Qin Yan's unyielding conviction. Perhaps it could create a miracle.

But now that Qin Yan had truly made his choice, Xiao Huo could not help but worry.

He feared that this overly difficult Martial Skill would slow Qin Yan's already urgent cultivation progress.

After all, this child was already quite far behind the top students of his year.

"Forget it. He chose this road himself.

"Since he has made his decision, he must not regret it. I only need to support him as best I can."

Xiao Huo no longer hesitated and immediately used his authority.

He submitted an application to the university for permission to teach the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear.

In the Xia Kingdom, all Body Tempering Martial Arts, especially Top Grade ones, were managed with extreme strictness.

Even with his dual status as a Peak Sixth Grade Warrior and Sixth Grade Alchemist, he still needed to go through the formal application and approval process. He could not teach it privately.

Inside the Cultivation Room of Heaven Grade Estate No. 111, Qin Yan sat cross-legged.

He appeared to be meditating with his eyes closed, but his attention remained fixed on his Smart Bracelet.

The wait seemed especially long. More than half an hour passed, yet the bracelet still showed no response.

He took a deep breath and suppressed the surging excitement and anticipation in his heart.

"Even if I received the complete Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear right now, so what?

"I only have single-digit Skill Points. Could I really expect to instantly master this Top Grade Martial Skill with just a few points?"

He rose to his feet, walked back to the center of the Cultivation Room, and gripped the bright silver spear.

Casting aside all distractions, he continued practicing the Basic Spear Technique, turning the anxiety of waiting into motivation for cultivation.

Sweat flew once more. Only by immersing himself in the world of spear technique could he completely calm his heart.

Another two-plus hours of intense training passed.

Together with his previous practice, he had trained for more than four hours today.

That meant another Skill Point had arrived.

Feeling the fatigue signals sent by his body, Qin Yan slowly lowered his spear.

Dragging his somewhat weary body to the rest area, he picked up his wristband.

The screen lit up, displaying a new file sent by Instructor Xiao Huo. Its title was—Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear!

His heart involuntarily began to race.

Qin Yan opened the file and began reading with his full attention.

Moments later, he had finished reading the Body Tempering Martial Art, and his eyes were filled with barely suppressed delight!

As a Top Grade Body Tempering Martial Art, the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear possessed a complete system.

It was divided into three major chapters, each corresponding to one of the first three major realms of Martial Artists:

Flesh and Skin Chapter: Corresponding to the First-Rank Martial Artist Realm, tempering the flesh and skin throughout the body.

Bone Forging Chapter: Corresponding to the Second-Rank Martial Artist Realm, tempering all the bones in the body.

Blood Refining Chapter: Corresponding to the Third-Rank Martial Artist Realm, tempering the blood within the body and replacing it for rebirth.

Each chapter had nine revolutions.

The key to his breakthrough into the Martial Artist Realm lay in the first revolution of the "Flesh and Skin Chapter"!

As long as he followed the method and successfully completed the cultivation of the first revolution.

He would naturally "cultivate qi" within his body and officially embark upon the path of a First-Rank Martial Artist!

At this thought, Qin Yan willed it, and the familiar data panel appeared in his mind:

[Sky-Supporting Qi Pillar: Fifth layer (Complete)

Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear (0%)

Vitality: 99 Cal

Spirit: 42 Hz

Spear Technique: Third Stage (17%)

Skill Points: 9

[Note: As long as you work hard, there will be gains]]

Looking at those 9 Skill Points, Qin Yan no longer hesitated.

He concentrated his thoughts and began pouring all the Skill Points into the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear!

In an instant, vast amounts of knowledge concerning the first revolution of the Flesh and Skin Chapter of the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear, its crucial cultivation secrets, unique techniques for exerting force.

As well as every minute detail that required attention, flooded into his mind as though enlightenment had been poured directly into him!

This knowledge was not crudely forced into his mind. Instead, it felt as though it had been personally practiced millions upon millions of times, becoming memories embedded in his body's instincts!

When he looked at the System Panel again, the data on it had already undergone earth-shaking changes:
