Having discovered such an efficient way to learn, Chen Yue was in high spirits.
During breaks in his training, whenever he felt even slightly mentally fatigued or needed a change of pace, he would pick up his brush, dip it in water, and start writing on the table or the floor.
Chen Yue no longer limited himself to the characters his old teacher had taught him. Instead, he opened the Thousand Character Classic and Elementary Literacy, and whenever he came across a character he didn't recognize, he would pick up his brush and copy it.
Each time he wrote one, the character was like a password being unlocked, and he mastered it completely in an instant. From simple words for everyday life to vocabulary that might come up in descriptions of martial arts, Chen Yue absorbed it all at a dizzying pace.
In just one day, after Chen Yue had copied most of the commonly used characters in both books, he looked at his panel again.
[Literacy (Perfection)]
At this point, Chen Yue naturally couldn't claim to be learned and widely read, but he could read and write in daily life, understand ordinary documents, and read basic martial arts materials without any difficulty.
The characters that had once looked like an inscrutable heavenly script now seemed familiar and full of meaning to him.
Chen Yue didn't continue delving into the classics or obscure ancient texts. For now, his store of written knowledge was more than enough.
Martial arts remained his main focus. His cultural knowledge only needed to be sufficient to help him understand what he studied.
Time slipped by, and only fifteen days remained until the Martial Examination's Prefectural Examination.
By his estimate, Chen Yue would have to set out for the prefectural capital in seven or eight days
