The Martial Saint of Humanity, I Have Transformed Low-Level Martial Arts Into Immortal Martial Arts - Chapter 20

Chapter 20: Transformation of Talent! One in Ten Thousand!

“Anyway, things seem to have calmed down for now.”

Su Hao, who had kept his achievements hidden, let out a sigh of relief.

After the events with the Black Snake Gang, everything had returned to a semblance of peace, and Su Hao did not forget about his own cultivation. In this chaotic world, without personal strength, one could end up like Zhao’s Blacksmith Shop, honest and straightforward, yet still facing provocations from evil people.

“First, I’ll practice the Heavy Mountain Fist and Eight Steps to Catch the Cicada to perfection; then my potential will transform!”

With strong motivation, Su Hao began his daily busy and fulfilling training.

With Su Hao’s impressive potential of 18 points, both the already accomplished Heavy Mountain Fist and Eight Steps to Catch the Cicada were progressing simultaneously, step by step moving towards perfection!

However, it was the Heavy Mountain Fist, which already had a solid foundation, that broke through first.

About two or three months after the Black Snake Gang incident, during a rest period, Su Hao practiced the Heavy Mountain Fist.

This set of techniques, combining offense and defense with seeming ease, radiated a grand and magnificent aura as Su Hao executed it. The seemingly simple moves were performed with extraordinary agility, and every joint in his body felt alive, as if imbued with vitality!

Moreover, the strength force within Su Hao was exceptionally vibrant; with a mere thought, he could emit it from his meridians and pores, harming others invisibly!

“Heavy Mountain Fist… is perfected!”

At that moment, Su Hao felt a profound joy, experiencing a wondrous sensation of his soul being uplifted. Without needing to see, he could feel the rhythmic vitality emanating from the growth of plants and all living things.

With the Heavy Mountain Fist perfected, Su Hao’s potential also increased once again, with quantitative changes leading to qualitative ones!

Name: Su Hao

Mastered Skills: [Baduanjin (Perfection)], [Forging (Perfection)], [Vajra Fist (Perfection)], [Heavy Mountain Fist (Perfection)], [Eight Steps to Catch the Cicada (Great Accomplishment)]

Potential: 20 points (One in Ten Thousand)

As the transformation gradually came to an end, Su Hao opened his attribute panel and saw the changes within himself.

His potential had already grown to 20 points, transforming from the original Excellent Talent Jade to the current One in Ten Thousand!

One in Ten Thousand does not just mean one among ten thousand; it implies that among thousands, a genius might not emerge at all!

Such individuals are rare even in a county with a population of a million, each one often boasting a substantial reputation, capable of achieving great accomplishments in any field or path they pursue.

With potential rated as One in Ten Thousand, one can be a prodigy in martial arts, advancing swiftly in their practice while making a name for themselves. Those who excel in cultural studies can top the examination list, smoothly navigate the bureaucratic path, and those who venture into business can create wide avenues for wealth and gain prosperous income!

Such talent is scarce, and in any industry, it will not be overlooked; these individuals are bound to achieve and shine brilliantly!

Now that Su Hao’s potential had reached 20 points, he belonged to this category of extraordinary individuals!

“Then let’s see just how incredible I am now!”

A glimmer flickered in Su Hao’s eyes as he eagerly attempted to test his changes.

Su Hao began to practice a set of punches, which he had learned from He Zhiyong’s Bewildering Trace Fist.

This technique places great emphasis on the variation of movements, requiring a high level of comprehension; it took He Zhiyong nearly thirty years of intense practice to barely attain great accomplishment.

As he breathed and exhaled, Su Hao meticulously followed the routine from the punching manual. The first iteration felt quite awkward, but by the second, it was much smoother… With each practice, Su Hao gained insights and began transferring and applying what he learned.

After three or four repetitions, the Bewildering Trace Fist appeared quite proficient in Su Hao’s hands!

[Bewildering Trace Fist (Initiation)]

Just an hour later, Su Hao could naturally and fluidly execute a complete set of the Bewildering Trace Fist, and in his attribute panel, the Bewildering Trace Fist had already reached the initiation stage!

“What… This challenging Bewildering Trace Fist, and I’ve achieved initiation in just one hour?”

Even Su Hao was astonished by his current aptitude and comprehension.

For a normal person, practicing a martial art typically requires half a month to a month to reach the initiation stage, which is a result of diligent effort.

But every time Su Hao practiced, he reaped rewards, and each day showed visible progress!

“At this rate, I could achieve perfection in the Bewildering Trace Fist in just a few months.”

Su Hao estimated and a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

Moreover, Su Hao noticed that since he had perfected the two martial arts, his body had clearly increased its need for nutrition. He had originally consumed health tonic soup daily, but now he had to increase the dosage to satisfy his growing requirements.

“It’s my internal strength that is increasing… Naturally, the energy needed grows as well. Starting tomorrow, I’ll take the Blood-Boosting Pill.”

Su Hao understood that he had completed the second-stage Refining Strength, and to achieve the third stage of physical refining, his consumption would naturally expand!

With the two martial arts perfected, the strength within him was also becoming increasingly formidable. By the time he perfected the third martial art, his understanding and control of strength would certainly reach new heights, perhaps even stepping into the realm of the third-stage physical refining!

This prompted Su Hao to start taking the Blood-Boosting Pill.

He had obtained a total of twelve Blood-Boosting Pills from He Zhiyong, each valued at around five taels of silver, and their effects were indeed extraordinary—powerful nourishment that could overwhelm ordinary people, leaving them unable to absorb it and potentially harming their bodies!

With the potential rated as One in Ten Thousand, Su Hao’s practice of the third Bewildering Trace Fist advanced at the pace equivalent to ten days or even dozens of days of hard work for others, and the strength within him was also growing stronger by the day.

“Clang, Clang, Clang!”

Three months later, with the hot summer now gone and autumn approaching, the forging room of the Blacksmith Shop remained as bustling as ever, filled with hot air, and each blacksmith was sweating profusely as they forged tools.

“This knife was forged by A Hao? It should possess a level of thirty in refinement, and the craftsmanship is impeccable; moreover, this isn’t even his limit… it’s just constrained by the material.”

In one room, Zhao Tie was stroking a long knife that was shimmering with a greenish light, exuding an icy aura that was chilling to the bone, and a hint of admiration appeared in his eyes.

Su Hao, in Zhao Tie’s view, was diligent and eager to learn, and his talent in forging was genuinely One in Ten Thousand. In just about two years, Su Hao had already surpassed his own expectations, even outshining the shop owner himself, which left Zhao Tie in awe but also somewhat reflective—sometimes effort pales in comparison to talent.

Not to mention that those with talent also work even harder! Su Hao undoubtedly belonged to this category!

“A Hao is too talented to be hidden away in my small Blacksmith Shop; I should introduce him to the Weapon Forging Workshop… With his talent, he might even become a forging master in the future, creating top-notch weapons!”

The more Zhao Tie examined the weapon in his hand, the more he admired Su Hao’s talent in forging. He pondered deeply, thinking that a genius like Su Hao shouldn’t be confined to a small place like Crouching Tiger Town.

With this thought, Zhao Tie had already made up his mind!
