Immortal Martial Academy - Chapter 21
The Wu Xianyao first checked his current status, noticing that two card slots were nearly finished with their deductions.
Deciding to wait, he picked up a book from the shelf and began reading.
This book was intriguing; it seemed like pure imagination at first, but upon closer inspection, its concepts were entirely feasible within the Qi and Blood Martial Dao framework.
The concept of “Vibrational Blade” originally relied on muscle vibrations to induce resonance in the blade, where higher frequencies equated to greater destructive power.
By harnessing Qi and Blood vibrations, one could achieve high-frequency blade oscillations, significantly enhancing its potency—a mere glimpse into the potential for amplification.
Wu Xianyao summarized his insights, found them viable, and promptly uploaded them to the library.
Martial Dao evolves through continuous learning and refinement. Despite having the system, Wu Xianyao never neglected further study.
Checking the time, he noticed both card slots had completed their deductions.
[Card Slot 1: Flight Martial Skill Deduction – 100%]
[Card Slot 2: Spiritual Soul Martial Skill Deduction – 100%]
[Card Slot 3: Vanquishing Evil Style Deduction – 5%]
[Unknown Flight Martial Skill Deduction Complete, Please Name]
[Unknown Spiritual Soul Martial Skill Deduction Complete, Please Name]
Wu Xianyao pondered for a moment. The envisioned Flight Martial Skill relied primarily on Qi and Blood Energy as its core. He then named it, “Qi and Blood Wings.”
[Naming successful, recorded in the library.]
[Martial Skill: Qi and Blood Wings]
[Difficulty: ★★★]
[Current Realms: Beginner, Mastery, Completion, Supreme.]
[Note: Infusing more Qi and Blood Energy enlarges the wings and increases speed.]
Satisfied with this description, Wu Xianyao realized that having such a Flight Martial Skill would significantly enhance the students’ life-saving capabilities.
He had already decided on a name for the Spiritual Soul Martial Skill: “Soul Refinement Manual.”
[Naming successful, recorded in the library.]
[Martial Skill: Soul Refinement Manual]
[Difficulty: ★★★★]
[Current Realms: Beginner, Mastery, Completion, Supreme.]
[Note: At its limit, soul refinement can extend Divine Sense.]
After recording these two Martial Skills, Wu Xianyao began planning the Martial Dao system. The first three ranks posed no issues, and subsequent realms could now be derived through deduction.
With only two card slots available, one for a Martial Skill and the other for realm deduction, his plan was set.
Taking out a new card, Wu Xianyao started contemplating. Currently, he had just one Five-Star Martial Skill, Instantaneous.
The Vanquishing Evil Style’s completion was imminent, with its rating undoubtedly above seven stars, explaining the prolonged time it took to deduce. Therefore, introducing another Five-Star Martial Skill became the priority.
Once again, Wu Xianyao chose to focus on spear techniques, aiming for a Five-Star Spear Art that should be exceptionally powerful.
For each weapon category, establishing a foundational Five-Star Martial Skill would pave the way for future advancements in other related skills.
This time, Wu Xianyao incorporated the fury of the Azure Dragon into his spear technique. The core essence of this new art revolved around various attack postures inspired by an enraged Azure Dragon.
Wu Xianyao couldn’t predict the exact effect of integrating such ferocity into his spear technique; it was an experimental endeavor. After finalizing the martial skill, he turned his attention to the Fourth Realm.
After some contemplation, Wu Xianyao began his work.
Fourth Realm: Spirit Platform Realm – One bone per platform, enter the Spirit Platform, forge twelve Spirit Platforms for Gods and Demons, upon their formation, attain Innate state.
Fifth Realm: Fusion Realm – Merge the essence of Gods and Demons, achieve Innate form, harness Innate Qi, fortify the God-Demon physique.
Sixth Realm: Violet Palace Realm – Channel Heaven and Earth Energy, break through the Violet Palace barrier, consolidate the Violet Palace Dantian, observe transformations of Heaven and Earth.
The slots began their calculations as Wu Xianyao set aside his book and started cultivating.
Qi and Blood Energy continuously washed over his physical body. After an indeterminate amount of time, realizing further enhancement was not possible through this method alone, Wu Xianyao directed the Qi and Blood Energy to cleanse his internal organs.
With just the first wave, he expelled a mouthful of black blood—the accumulated toxins. Feeling rejuvenated, he continued cleansing each organ individually, starting with the heart, liver, spleen, and lungs.
Once the Qi and Blood Energy were depleted, Wu Xianyao opened his eyes.
Nine days had passed. Rising from his seat, he felt satisfied; one more cleansing session would allow him to enter the Spirit Gathering Realm, and there was still ample time.
Wu Xianyao reviewed the results of the Qi and Blood Martial Dao’s evolution:
[Martial Dao: Qi and Blood Martial Dao / Recorded]
[Difficulty: Infinite]
[Current Realm Evolution: Body Tempering, Blood Ignition, Spirit Gathering, Spirit Platform, Fusion, Violet Palace…]
[Note 1: World system is now fixed.]
[Note 2: Qi and Blood Martial Dao serves as the sole Martial Dao for this world, other Martial Dao systems’ evolutions have been closed.]
Wu Xianyao felt somewhat bewildered; with the Martial Dao system closed, would it mean that Shrouding the Heaven System, Perfect World System, and others were no longer accessible?
As various messages appeared in Wu Xianyao’s mind, he gradually realized that this might not be such a bad thing after all.
The Qi and Blood Martial Dao could still continue to evolve, even without other systems present. However, any Cultivation Techniques derived from future deductions will naturally align with the Qi and Blood Martial Dao framework, making it adaptable.
Additionally, the introduction of ‘Innate Talent’ meant that most ordinary individuals could potentially cultivate. According to the system’s grading scale from one to ten stars, an average person typically falls within three stars. Those with slightly higher talent range between four to six stars, while only those seven stars or above qualify as Heaven’s Chosen. These rankings emerged only after the refinement of the Qi and Blood Martial Dao.
While the entry barrier for the Qi and Blood Martial Dao is low, allowing most people to practice, progressing further requires innate talent.
Having reviewed the information, Wu Xianyao felt reassured. At least his initial goal was achieved – enabling cultivation for ordinary individuals. Although progress may vary in speed, at the very least, commoners now had means to defend themselves against Xenobeasts. With diligent effort, reaching the first stage completion, boasting a strength of 100,000 pounds, would make them formidable against non-ranked Xenobeasts.
With these thoughts, Wu Xianyao decided not to dwell on it further and opened the previously deduced spear martial skill, for which he had already envisioned a name.
[Martial Skill: Azure Dragon’s Fury]
[Difficulty: ★★★★★]
[Current Realms: Beginner, Mastery, Completion, Supreme.]
[Techniques: Azure Dragon Bite, Azure Dragon Roar, Azure Dragon’s Fury.]
[Note: Observing dragon movements and integrating them into spear techniques can enhance their power.]
Two cards appeared in Wu Xianyao’s hands. This time, he decided to focus on deducing Cultivation Techniques, as his current Martial Skills were sufficient for now. It was time for attribute-based Cultivation Techniques to emerge.
The Nine Suns World Illuminating Art had already been deduced to its highest realm, thanks to the system’s benefit for the Headmaster. The Vanquishing Evil Style was nearing completion, with only about twenty percent left.
As Wu Xianyao prepared to begin his deductions, he remembered the Alchemy Manual and ultimately chose it along with a Cultivation Technique.
After making these decisions, Wu Xianyao’s qi and blood surged, causing all impurities on his body to vanish instantly. Whereas before one could still spot blemishes like blackheads, now Wu Xianyao’s skin could be described in four words – smooth as congealed fat, even better than most women’s skin.
Dressed casually in black attire, Wu Xianyao walked towards the Refiner Pavilion. Xiao Lin spotted him from afar and eagerly approached, acting ingratiatingly, “Boss, I’ve prepared everything you requested.”
Wu Xianyao accepted the six space rings, patted Xiao Lin’s shoulder, and said, “The Forging Manual may receive updates soon. I’ve granted you access rights; when the update is available, there will be a notification on the academy’s official website. Make sure to check it then.”
