I Want to Learn Everything

Martial skill inheritance is a strategic resource under official control in Huaxia Country.

The places where inherited martial skills can typically be obtained are limited to schools, the Military, martial arts halls, and a few other avenues.

As for personal inheritance—like Wang Tong passing the Wind Splitting Leg to Lu Chong, or the Old Principal gifting him the Golden Cicada Robe now—they can't bypass official oversight either.

All these martial skills are taught through Inheritance Jade Slips, because they contain not only surface-level techniques but also the inner insights and rhythm of Perfection.

The conditions for crafting such jade slips are extremely harsh, requiring both sophisticated high-tech methods and the cooperation of someone who has reached Perfection in that skill.

Most importantly, these jade slips can only be passed on after being custom-made and registered with Huaxia's authorities, and only to personnel who have been recorded and approved.

There are special cases, like the Old Principal, who created his own martial skills. He has greater autonomy over their inheritance and can even enjoy dividends similar to intellectual property rights.

Lu Chong had some understanding of these matters and knew their value.

According to official pricing, a Human-Grade High Martial Skill costs at least a hundred thousand, and even then, it requires passing political and qualification reviews before inheritance is approved.

Only during school years can one receive such instruction for free.

As for top-tier Body-Refining Martial Arts like the Golden Cicada Robe, they're even more expensive and rarer; most people don't even qualify to purchase or cultivate them.

He couldn't help but wonder how much dividend income the Old Principal had earned over the years from his self-created martial skills.

"Truly, knowledge changes fate. If I could create a practical martial skill myself, I'd be raking in money just lying at home."

But precious as martial skills are, loyalty is priceless. Since it was a gift from his teacher, Lu Chong couldn't bring himself to refuse.

"Go on. If there's anything you don't understand, come find me again." The Old Principal only spoke after watching Lu Chong use the priceless jade slip.

Lu Chong thanked him again before leaving the principal's office. He gently closed the door and saw his homeroom teacher waiting anxiously outside.

"How did it go?" Wang Tong asked quietly after leading Lu Chong a few dozen meters away.

Lu Chong smiled. "Got it."

"Good!" Wang Tong patted Lu Chong's shoulder excitedly. "With this Body-Refining Martial Arts, you'll have a better shot at getting into a top school."

"Teacher Wang." Lu Chong didn't head to class but said directly, "There's something else I'd like to ask you."

"Aren't you going to class?" Wang Tong checked his watch, then paused. "Forget it, sparring with them won't do much for you anyway."

"Come on, let's talk in my office." Wang Tong personally led Lu Chong to skip class and head to his office.

Once there, Wang Tong even poured Lu Chong a cup of hot water. "Tell me what's troubling you. I'll help if I can."

"Teacher." Lu Chong didn't drink the water but spoke seriously. "I want to take additional martial skills from the school."

Lu Chong knew that high school basic martial skill education wasn't limited to just Monument-Splitting Palm and Nine-Shadow Step.

It was just that ordinary class students had only ever been exposed to those two.

It wasn't that the school was stingy; they were worried students would bite off more than they could chew.

Only key classes like Class 1 would teach more martial skills based on individual circumstances.

For example, Zhou Feng's Iron Wire Fist was one of them.

Iron Wire Fist was also a Human-Grade Low Martial Skill, same as Monument-Splitting Palm in the attack category, but they were quite different.

Simply put, Monument-Splitting Palm was more comprehensive and foundational, while Iron Wire Fist had single, heavy moves focused on raw power.

What Lu Chong wanted now were martial skills like Iron Wire Fist from the school, to round out his combat ability and leave no weaknesses.

Especially after sparring with Class 1 students today, he wouldn't underestimate any martial skill.

Wang Tong frowned in thought after hearing this, then said seriously, "I've already applied for that, and the Academic Affairs Office has approved it."

"The school currently has five martial skills available: Iron Wire Fist, Eagle Claw Technique, Cloud Piercing Finger, Mountain Leaning Back, and Heart-Piercing Kick. All are Human-Grade Low. Which ones do you want to learn?"

Lu Chong smiled sheepishly. "Teacher, to be honest, I want to learn all of them."

Pfft!

Wang Tong spat out the water he'd just drunk and coughed twice before recovering.

"Lu Chong." Wang Tong's expression turned stern. "Your comprehension is good now, but you mustn't be greedy."

"At this stage, more martial skills aren't necessarily better. Besides, aren't you still cultivating the Wind Splitting Leg and the Old Principal's skill?"

"And your cultivation level can't fall behind either. Where will you find the time to train in even more martial skills?" Gege Party

Wang Tong advised earnestly, genuinely afraid that Lu Chong would become complacent and hold himself back.

Lu Chong knew his homeroom teacher would have doubts, but Wang Tong didn't know about his cheat—the automatic martial skill cultivation.

With that cheat, Lu Chong could bluntly say that even if he found ten more martial skills, he could digest them all without wasting much time.

Even if he didn't speed up training, they'd still grow slowly on their own.

After all, these martial arts were pretty diligent themselves.

"I just wonder if there's a limit to how many my cheat can handle." Lu Chong thought he'd have to test it to find out.

The automatic cultivation cheat was like running multiple programs at once. He suspected that too many might cause the host to "crash" or "lag."

But he couldn't explain this to his homeroom teacher, so he patiently said, "Teacher, rest assured, I'm not being impulsive."

"You've seen it yourself—my Monument-Splitting Palm and Nine-Shadow Step have both reached Perfection, and it didn't take long."

"As for the Wind Splitting Leg, I've already reached Minor Success. I believe it won't be long before I hit Major Success, or even Microscopic."

"By then, I'll have no Martial Skills left to train."

"Besides, I'm just giving it a try. I definitely won't let it hold me back. Who knows—practicing multiple Martial Skills might even speed things up through cross-referencing."

Wang Tong suddenly realized—yes, this kid in front of him had already reached Perfection in two Martial Skills, meaning he no longer needed to spend time training them.

And judging by his performance over the past few days, it really did seem possible he could master a few more.

"I still need to warn you." Wang Tong's tone softened. "Different types of Martial Skills vary wildly in difficulty from person to person."

"Just because one Martial Skill comes easily to you—maybe because it suits you—doesn't mean all of them will."

With that, Wang Tong gritted his teeth and said, "Fine. I'll allow you to train two more Martial Skills for now."

"If you can bring the Wind Splitting Leg to Microscopic within a month, and also reach the Sixth Stage in cultivation, I'll approve the rest of the school's Martial Skills for you."

Lu Chong sighed helplessly, knowing that no amount of talk could match proof through action.

Still, fine. Wasn't it just bringing the Wind Splitting Leg to Microscopic?

"Three days should be enough."
