The Martial Saint of Humanity, I Have Transformed Low-Level Martial Arts Into Immortal Martial Arts - Chapter 10

Chapter 10: Potential Transformation! Excellent Talent Jade!

After a safe journey back to Longshe Village, Su Hao resumed his usual routine. He practiced Vajra Fist for a while, then trained in Baduanjin, feeling satisfied before returning to his room to rest.

“This world is too dangerous. I haven’t even proactively instigated anything, yet I’m already responsible for nearly ten lives…”

For Su Hao, this wasn’t his first time taking a life, and he felt more at peace now than he did the first time he had to. This is how the world is: the strong prey on the weak. He only killed those who deserved it; he had no regrets!

After a night without incident, he woke up at dawn the next day to practice Baduanjin. Since he possessed a unique talent, he aimed to push that talent to its limits and reach heights that no one had ever attained!

Baduanjin is a form of health exercise that is not difficult and can be practiced by people of all ages and genders. With Su Hao’s astounding potential, his diligent practice gradually brought him closer to mastering it.

Life for Su Hao was calm yet fulfilling. Two months later, on another quiet evening, he was training in Baduanjin, invigorating his energy and blood circulation. As he moved, he seemed to sway with the wind; although these were merely simple movements, there was a certain wondrous charm in how he executed them, an aesthetic that exuded a sense of returning to simplicity.

Bathed in the soft glow of the setting sun, a villager passing by Su Hao’s home glanced over casually and was momentarily taken aback. Su Hao, dressed in simple fabric clothes, appeared to be draped in a layer of vibrant satin!

However, the villager rubbed his eyes forcefully and realized that Su Hao was still the same Su Hao. His movements remained simple and natural, akin to gymnastics, without anything particularly remarkable.

“It seems I worked too hard in the fields last night and am seeing things. I’ll need to restrain myself a bit tonight.”

Muttering to himself, the villager shook his head and walked away, convinced he was imagining things.

Meanwhile, Su Hao was immersed in a wondrous sensation, feeling as if he were floating in the clouds. His internal energy and blood surged, and his muscles and bones trembled, as if undergoing a transformative change!

“Baduanjin is perfected; my potential has undergone a transformation!”

Su Hao realized that he had finally mastered his first skill completely. This familiar sensation was reminiscent of the upheaval he felt when his potential transformed previously.

As the changes gradually stabilized, Su Hao opened his eyes. His first impression was that the world appeared clearer before him; his mind felt more agile. The things that had once eluded him during practice now became instantly comprehensible, and knowledge he had almost forgotten surfaced in his thoughts!

Name: Su Hao

Skills Mastered: [Baduanjin (Perfected)], [Forging (Great Accomplishment 41%)], [Vajra Fist (Great Accomplishment 1%)]

Potential: 12 points (Excellent Talent Jade)

Su Hao opened his attribute panel and, sure enough, Baduanjin had reached perfection! Furthermore, with the mastery of his skill, it appeared that his potential had also increased significantly. In light of Su Hao’s already high potential, it surged by an impressive 3 points, allowing his potential to break through the 10-point barrier, reaching a total of 12 points!

“My potential level has transformed from Remarkable Bone to Excellent Talent Jade!”

Su Hao’s eyes sparkled as he noticed the transformation in his potential. Remarkable Bone indicates someone who is extraordinary, diligent, and capable of achieving great things through hard work. In contrast, Excellent Talent Jade is akin to a naturally flawless piece of jade, possessing infinite potential that can be unleashed with just a little refinement and become a gem!

Now, Su Hao was that piece of natural, high-quality jade, teeming with limitless potential; with a bit of polishing, he was bound to become something great!

He tried performing a set of Vajra Fist and immediately felt the difference. Previously, executing Vajra Fist required all his concentration, but now it was as if he had gained clarity, similar to having a god’s perspective that allowed him to see the flaws in his technique and correct them. His thoughts flowed more freely, along with new and innovative ideas emerging.

“Is this what Excellent Talent Jade is? Possessing innate potential, where a little effort can yield achievements in anything, and with dedicated effort, one can attain great success!”

Su Hao marveled at the strength of his new potential. Talent and hard work are both essential; hard work determines one’s lower limits, while talent dictates the final height and upper limits!

In addition to this, Su Hao discovered other changes after mastering Baduanjin.

“Whoosh!”

Suddenly, Su Hao moved, darting out like a cheetah, and in the blink of an eye, he leaped from one end of the small courtyard to the other, crossing the entire yard. This speed and burst of energy surpassed the limits of an ordinary person!

“Bang!”

Then, Su Hao concentrated his Strength Force in his right fist and unleashed a powerful punch. His fist sliced through the air, creating a crackling sound like fireworks, and the force of the punch stirred up dust from the ground, sweeping it backward. The destructive power of such a fist striking flesh was beyond imagination.

“Baduanjin has reached perfection, allowing me to perfectly control my body, even stimulating my muscles and removing all limitations, pushing my physical abilities to their true peak. The ‘Strength Force’ I can generate has almost doubled.”

After a series of movements, Su Hao came to a halt, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

The perfection of Baduanjin brought a tremendous leap in Su Hao’s strength, enabling him to have an even more refined control over every muscle in his body, allowing his physical functions to truly break free from protective restrictions and operate at maximum capacity for a short period of time!

It is not an exaggeration to say that if the current Su Hao faced his past self, he could defeat his former self within three moves!

This Baduanjin is a health-preserving technique, which has a lower difficulty level for cultivation, but reaching perfection indeed provided Su Hao with remarkable benefits.

“My potential has increased, and both Vajra Fist and Forging have reached a great accomplishment. The path to perfection is no longer out of reach. I might as well learn one or two more martial arts to further enhance my potential… I’ll go check out that Red Maple Ridge Market tomorrow; the location marked on the token seems to be a ghost market. Let’s see if I can find new martial arts there.”

A few days later, while working in the forging room, Su Hao crafted weapons, all the while formulating plans in his mind.

Vajra Fist belongs to the realm of martial arts, but it is more challenging compared to health-preserving techniques. Advancing it from a great accomplishment to perfection is several times more difficult than progressing from initiation to great accomplishment!

If that’s the case, it would be better for me to learn a few more martial arts. Given my potential, a bit of practice would be enough to reach initiation or small accomplishment, further increasing my potential and making the cultivation of Vajra Fist much easier.

After defeating the members of the Black Deer Army, Su Hao obtained not only a hundred taels of silver notes but also a token engraved with ‘Red Maple Ridge Market.’

After studying it for a while, Su Hao realized what kind of place this Red Maple Ridge Market was; it should be what is referred to as a ‘black market.’

In the present Great Yan Dynasty, all transactions incur various taxes, and items such as rice, flour, and oil are restricted in purchase based on household registration.

Thus, black markets came into existence, and most of them are located in hidden places, allowing people to evade taxes and sell goods that are hard to offload in the market, attracting individuals from all walks of life.

That token should serve as both the location and a pass for entry into a black market.

Going to martial arts halls is one approach, but the prices there are exorbitant, and they often leave their disciples to starve their masters. Although these martial arts halls may teach techniques, they mostly hold back, or they test the skills of apprentices before revealing the true teachings. Su Hao didn’t have time to slowly grind through it; it was far better to acquire secret books and practice on his own!

And within the black market, he might be able to buy martial arts secret books!
