The next day, Zhu Youning rested and recuperated, finally waiting for the system's notification.
[Ding! Your martial art: Tiger Roar Art has completed automatic training. Proficiency increased.] [You gained 1 practice cycle!] [Ding! Your martial art: Dragon-Snake Spear Technique has completed automatic training. Proficiency increased.] [You gained 1 practice cycle!] [Current practice cycles: 2]
After gaining the practice cycles, Zhu Youning quickly opened the Martial Arts Exchange Shop.
This time, Zhu Youning planned to exchange for two martial arts.
Once he exchanged for two more martial arts, he would have mastered four.
Four was the maximum number of martial arts that could be trained automatically, so this would let him make the best use of the system and maximize its benefits.
[Mysterious Heaven True Qi Manual: Exchangeable for 15 practice cycles] [Blood Blade Sect Basic Saber Technique: Exchangeable for 1 practice cycle] [Wudang Sect Basic Fist Technique: Exchangeable for 1 practice cycle] [Blood Blade Scripture: Exchangeable for 15 practice cycles] [Blood Blade Great Art: Exchangeable for 25 practice cycles] [Blood Blade Demonic Saber: Exchangeable for 50 practice cycles] [Demonic Saber Blood Seeking: Exchangeable for 50 practice cycles] [Red Snake Ice Toad Art: Exchangeable for 40 practice cycles] [Nine Yin: Tendon Changing Chapter: Exchangeable for 15 practice cycles] [Nine Yin: Bone Forging Chapter: Exchangeable for 15 practice cycles] [Nine Yin: Healing Chapter: Exchangeable for 15 practice cycles] [Nine Yin Manual: Exchangeable for 100 practice cycles] [Nine Yin Manual: Reverse: Exchangeable for 100 practice cycles] [Nine Yang Divine Art: Exchangeable for 100 practice cycles] [Wudang Nine Yang Art: Exchangeable for 25 practice cycles] [Shaolin Nine Yang Art: Exchangeable for 25 practice cycles] [Emei Nine Yang Art: Exchangeable for 25 practice cycles] [Taiji Fist: Exchangeable for 100 practice cycles] [Taiji Sword: Exchangeable for 100 practice cycles] [Muscle Tendon Change: Exchangeable for 100 practice cycles] [Marrow Cleansing Record: Exchangeable for 100 practice cycles] [Golden Bell Cover: Exchangeable for 50 practice cycles] [Iron Cloth Shirt: Exchangeable for 25 practice cycles] [Indestructible Diamond Divine Art: Exchangeable for 100 practice cycles] [Water Drifting: Exchangeable for 25 practice cycles] [Emei Linji Divine Art: Exchangeable for 70 practice cycles] [Supreme Hard Qigong: Exchangeable for 100 practice cycles] [Lightness Skill: Exchangeable for 75 practice cycles] [Ten Thousand Poisons Heart Sutra: Exchangeable for 100 practice cycles] [Poisonous Body Forging: Exchangeable for 15 practice cycles] [Purple Toad Divine Art: Exchangeable for 100 practice cycles] [Five Poisons Insect Art: Exchangeable for 70 practice cycles] [Star Absorbing Great Art: Exchangeable for 50 practice cycles] [Northern Dark Divine Art: Exchangeable for 100 practice cycles] [Six Meridian Divine Sword: Exchangeable for 100 practice cycles] [Lion Roar Art: Exchangeable for 80 practice cycles] [Yin Yang Fusion Art: Exchangeable for 100 practice cycles] []
Though the game In My Practice, I Am Sincere didn't take up much memory, it still had plenty of martial arts—around six hundred in total, both major and minor.
It also offered a fairly complete range of styles: internal arts, external arts, saber techniques, sword techniques, fist techniques, lightness skills, poison arts, and insect arts. It had practically everything under the sun!
These martial arts could be freely combined to create all sorts of schools.
For example, the Blood Blade school, Taiji Fist school, Emei Sword school, Five Poisons Hidden Weapons school, Hengshan Unorthodox Weapons school, Nine Swords That Break Moves school, Five Poisons school, Insect Arts Puppet school, Hard Qigong school, Counterattack school, Six Meridian school, and more.
After considering it for a moment, Zhu Youning ultimately chose the Six Meridian school.
More precisely, he should have called it the internal arts school.
The so-called Six Meridian school focused on the Six Meridian Divine Sword as its main attack, supported by several profound internal arts.
Of course, the main offensive technique could be swapped out. Replacing the Six Meridian Divine Sword with Flame Blade, Lion Roar Art, Life-Death Finger, or even the Seventy-Two Peaks Flying Immortal Sword could still deliver impressive power.
Naturally, whether the primary attack was the Six Meridian Divine Sword, Lion Roar Art, or Flame Blade, they all belonged to the internal arts school.
In the game In My Practice, I Am Sincere, the internal arts school could be called a top-tier martial arts build. It tore through dungeons at lightning speed, though reaching mastery took a great deal of time, effort, and resources.
But it was just that strong!
One of the basic internal arts that could help him master the internal arts school was Cold Heart Art.
[Cold Heart Art: Exchangeable for 1 practice cycle]
Among the martial arts available for a single practice cycle, this was one of the better choices.
More importantly, Cold Heart Art was a support technique for the peerless internal art Yin Yang Fusion Art.
In the game In My Practice, I Am Sincere, Yin Yang Fusion Art wasn't the strongest martial art, but it was essential.
That was because it had two traits: Yin Yang Harmony and Constant Readiness.
The Yin Yang Harmony trait was extremely useful in the game.
Generally speaking, internal arts of opposite extremes—extreme yin and extreme yang—or martial arts that naturally countered each other couldn't be practiced at the same time. Some internal arts also produced such domineering true qi that they couldn't coexist with any other kind.
But with the Yin Yang Harmony trait, two internal arts with completely opposite natures could coexist, and it was even possible to absorb and transform foreign true qi. It was an essential martial art for any internal arts build.
As for Constant Readiness, in simple terms, it meant that protective true qi automatically circulated through the body.
After spending one practice cycle on Cold Heart Art, Zhu Youning chose another basic technique.
[Calm Heart Technique: Exchangeable for 1 practice cycle]
He didn't have any particular reason for choosing a breathing technique. Mostly, he wanted to fill all four automatic-training slots so he could gain even more practice cycles.
Besides that, breathing techniques were highly adaptable. They could improve physical recovery, and Calm Heart Technique was also one of the foundational mental arts for the ultimate technique Unimpeded Divine Ability. It was practically a must-have basic technique.
If Zhu Youning later exchanged for Needle in Cotton Art and Black Tortoise Cliff Mental Method, the ultimate technique Unimpeded Divine Ability would unlock automatically.
Unimpeded Divine Ability didn't have much killing power, but it was highly effective at resolving internal injuries, unsealing acupoints, and opening meridians.
After exchanging for Cold Heart Art and Calm Heart Technique, Zhu Youning spent another four comfortable days lying around, attended by his maidservants. Then he gained sixteen practice cycles.
So, to speed up his recovery, Zhu Youning chose to exchange for Nine Yin: Healing Chapter.
[Nine Yin: Healing Chapter: Exchangeable for 15 practice cycles] [Ding! You have learned the martial art: Nine Yin: Healing Chapter.] [Ding! You chose to replace the martial art in your automatic-training slot, Calm Heart Technique, with the martial art: Nine Yin: Healing Chapter.] [Ding! Your martial art: Calm Heart Technique has stopped automatic training.] [Ding! Your martial art: Nine Yin: Healing Chapter has begun automatic training. It is expected to be completed in 24 hours, granting 1 practice cycle. During this time, you can speed up the training process by consuming rare natural treasures!] []
Nine Yin: Healing Chapter was actually a branch of the Nine Yin Manual. Its greatest use was healing injuries. In simple terms, it used internal energy to help injuries heal, whether treating someone else or oneself.
Just three days after Zhu Youning exchanged for Nine Yin: Healing Chapter, he felt his condition improve. His injuries were healing much faster.
He squeezed his shoulder, then patted his sturdy chest, and couldn't help but marvel.
The Nine Yin Manual truly was an encyclopedia of martial arts. Just one healing chapter had helped Zhu Youwen's body recover so quickly.
