Chapter 11: The Reason for Fast Improvement

After fifteen minutes he finally arrives back at his hut. The first thing he did was to go takes a bath.

This time he did not take a bath in the wooden bath instead he went to the stream.

There is a stream of water nearby.

 If he tracks the stream, he might see a waterfall. But Li Xin did not do such a thing because in the past few weeks he was stuck in depression.

It wasn’t until last night that he decided to get his shit together.

And that is also the reason why he had so many points.

 He was afraid of coming down to Jianghu and mostly focus his points towards his Life Skills instead of his martial skill.

He thought that if he leaves this mountain, he might also miss a way to go back home.

But, last night he accepted the fact that there might be no way to go back.

At least, not by waiting here in this mountain for something to happen. It was then he concocted some other plans.

So, right now the reason he is still in the mountain is no longer to wait for some portals to open up but for something else

But, his hesitation of coming down the mountain makes him invested a lot in his lightness skill. If not for the fact that he had to survive against the beast in the forest, he might not have purchased some of the sword skill.

He put his clothes and trousers at the tree branches nearby the stream and then he washes himself while at the same time recovering his inner energy.

As he leans on one of the rocks, the water washing him he closes his eyes. Even though he was closing his eyes he is quite aware of what is happening all around him

This is the perks and benefits that he got after he broke through to the One with the World state. One with the World state could be reached if his inner energy reserve passes 26 years of inner energy.

Anyone who have 26 to 30 years’ worth of inner energy is considered in the One with the World state.

He could use points to raise the inner energy ranks. So when he had 26 years’ worth of inner energy, it is considered beginner rank of the One with the World State.

Beginner rank required one skill points to raise it to Apprentice level. Apprentice required 2 skill points. Apprentice is then considered to be 27 years’ worth of inner energy and so on and so forth until he reached the peak of One with The World state which is having thirty years’ worth of inner energy

He already reached the grandmaster rank of One with the World which is why he had thirty years’ worth of inner energy.

When he broke through to the thirty years’ worth of energy, then the perks for the One with the World was activated by the system.

Li Xin opens his eyes and check the logs of the system he smiles as he looks at one of the notification.

He thought to see it and the windows appears in front of his eyes.

Host has reached One with the World grandmaster rank, possessing powerful internal energy.

Because of the amount of the host internal energy, the host is now unlocking more new abilities.

The host is rewarded with the ability to teach people martial art skill which would not only spread the martial path to other people but also increase one proficiency

The host is also rewarded with the unlocking of item limit which is now at ten item limit.

With the increase in the host storage of inner energy, the host could now use the inner energy for other uses.

Unlocking Spiritual Perception which could be used to sense dangers and enemies even when you are not looking. This Spiritual perception range is based on the purity and amount of inner energy

Please uses all this unlocked benefits to increase your progression toward the martial path

This is the old notification when he broke through to One with the World state.

At that time, he did not pay attention to the abilities he had because he was to engrossed in his own feelings.

He usually skate pass through all the other levels without looking at its perks and basically just rely on his inner energy to kill things.

He knows that since he is now determined to go back down the mountain and enter the treacherous world of Jianghu, he needs to familiarize himself with all of his skills and all of his abilities.

‘I did a stupid thing this past week’ he thought to himself. He was depressed and even wanted to kill himself.

He wasted so much time.

‘It is still not too late’ he consoled himself. The perks of the One with the World stage is the perks that Li Xin is most familiar with because it is the one that stays in his memory the latest.

When one in a depression, sometimes, they forgot things.

‘I should review tonight about all of my abilities’

He takes some of the water passing around him and uses it to wash his face and thought of the news he had heard when he was playing in the game

It is because of that news that he stayed in this mountain even after he is determined to go out to Jianghu

‘t is not long now’ he thought to himself.

He then looks at the windows and sighed.

Of the many perks that One with the World state gives to him, the one he likes the most is the Spiritual perception benefit.

It enables him to sense danger more acutely. But using it consumes inner energy so he could not do it for long.

The reason is not because his inner energy is low.

Thirty years’ worth of inner energy while it could not be considered a huge amount of inner energy, it also could not be considered small

But the reason why it would deplete Li Xin inner energy faster is simply because his inner energy skill is too basic.

At least if he learns the Cloud Gate inner skill or the Divine Sword Mountain inner skill, it would make his inner energy thick and dense and it would make his inner energy not prone to wastage, requiring a small amount of inner energy for the same kind of operations.

Inner skill level also has a difference.

Accessing Qi is the first step to becoming a martial artist in this world.

Those who could access Qi could embark on the journey of being martial artist. Normal people who could not access their Qi could also train in martial art skill.

But their achievement is limited because only those with Qi could do miraculous things like gliding in the air, jumping in the air, imbue their attacks with energy and so on and so forth.

In other words, even a novice of martial arts that have managed to access Qi could defeat someone who have no Qi but have practiced martial arts for years.

This is like a heavyweight fighting with a lightweight. There are in a different class.

To access Qi, one needs inner skill methods. This is the reason why they are so many joining sects or martial art school.

Because only these schools have this kind of manuals. There is a reason why stealing other people schools or sect manuals would prompt extreme retaliation.

The other way for normal person to learn inner energy skill is to become grave robber to rob the graves of powerful martial artist or to be lucky to find some hidden secret dwellings of reclusive experts

There are also stories like some people being taught inner energy skill by some generous passing wandering heroes that enables them to access their Qi and embark on a journey of martial path

But the lower the level of that inner skill method, the harder it is for one to break open the first meridian.

There are twelve meridians but there is one hidden meridian that is not included in the twelve meridian but must be opened before opening the other twelve meridians if one wanted to access Qi

This is how it is in this world

That hidden meridian is the one that access the Qi. To unlock meridian first acupoint is 10 skill points.

Li Xin got a lot of points in the beginning because he was given the Beginner Pack.

The points for unlocking acupoint is different for each acupoint in different meridian.

When choosing a meridian to unlock, one must unlock its acupoint until the end. Only then one could train the other acupoint.

The first meridian he opened was the Qi Gathering in Sea of Energy. When he broke thought that meridian, he had to focus his mind and gather Qi in his Dantian.

The acupoint is Guanyuan located in the lower abdomen, 3 cun below the navel, Spirit (Qihai), Shenque, Mingmen, Danzhong, Yinxiang

And then after he opens that, all of his other twelve meridians opens in succession without him having to pay even a single point.

The reason is because he is Tianmai
