My Martial Arts Can Train Themselves

Chapter 3: Blood Refining Breakthrough

Yang Yi looked at the feedback messages and smiled.

This was an interesting martial art. Not only was it eager to protect its master, it even had a rebellious mood.

After ten feedback reports, he gained a total of nine experience points. It was not as much as he had imagined, but it was still acceptable.

Host: Yang Yi

Realm: Skin Refining (282/300)

Spirit accumulation point: 0

Learned martial art: Crimson Afterglow Technique

Pending martial arts: None

Number of scans: 0 (refreshes in five days)

At this rate, it would only take two days to break through to the Blood Refining stage!

After these few experiments, Yang Yi understood one thing, the special events triggered by the feedback all happened on the same day.

If the martial arts were anthropomorphized, each feedback report would represent what it saw and heard in a day.

In that case, 10 feedback reports might represent everything it saw and heard in 10 different parallel dimensions.

In this dimension, the Crimson Afterglow Technique was diligently cultivating, while in the other dimension, the Crimson Afterglow Technique stole the medicinal pills.

"If that's the case, I can control the probability of special events to a certain extent. For example, I can save some spirit accumulation points. When something major happens around me, I can focus on obtaining feedback."

Yang Yi had a plethora of idea, but he quickly shook his head.

Even if a special event was triggered, it might not necessarily have a positive effect.

For example, the Crimson Afterglow Technique's act of stealing the pills was not a good thing for the current Yang Yi.

"It's better to use up all the spirit accumulation points I have."

The most important thing now was to break through to the Blood Refining stage.

He could choose to save some spirit accumulation points after the breakthrough.

After all, there were still many things about the panel that he did not understand. He might need a large amount of spirit accumulation points at some point.

At night, the Crimson Afterglow Technique automatically gave a feedback, and he obtained one experience point.

When Zhou Yan came back, Yang Yi indirectly asked about the pill.

"After searching for a day without any clues, we gave up. Everyone is worried about the matter of the Raindrop Court. Who cares about petty theft?"

Zhou Yan had some injuries on his body. It was probably from his sparring session with someone else, but he seemed to be in good spirits.

"Yeah. We'll be having our monthly lesson tomorrow. You should wash up and rest early."

Yang Yi calmed himself down, chatted a little, and went to sleep.

The next morning.

Yang Yi was meditating and cultivating in the courtyard as usual.

It was rare for Zhou Yan to wake up early. The Crimson Afterglow Technique and the Afterglow Qi in his body complemented each other, giving him a rather harmonious feeling.

"How's your progress, Yang Yi?" he opened his eyes and looked over.

"I'm alright. What about you?" Yang Yi said.

"Nothing out of the ordinary. I'm afraid I'll need another month to break through to the Blood Refining stage."

Zhou Yan shook his head, appearing to be dissatisfied. However, the slightly raised corner of his lips betrayed him.

"You're breaking through soon, then?" Yang Yi said with a smile.

"It's been more than a year. My progress is considered slow, to have only achieve a breakthrough now. Besides, we can't be sure about the future. Who knows, you might break through before I do." Zhou Yan became exceptionally modest.

...

"Before the lesson today, I would like to give everyone some good news. Lin Yan has broken through."

In a remote corner of the training field, a few general disciples were lined up neatly. A middle-aged man stood before them.

He was the instructor, Zhao Xugang. Beside him, there was a silent youth.

Everyone was clapping their hands.

Lin Yan had great aptitude, but he was not popular among the disciples.

Zhou Yan moved closer to Yang Yi and said disdainfully, "He's always frowning. I wonder who he's trying to show it to. It seems that people like you and I who got in the sect with money aren't worthy of his attention."

Yang Yi smiled and did not say anything.

The lesson continued.

Because Lin Yan had made a breakthrough, Zhao Xu was full of enthusiasm, and he increased the difficulty of the lesson.

In the end, even after a series of explanations, everyone was left dumbfounded.

Even though Yang Yi understood what was said, he was still at a loss when he tried to practice it.

"Sigh, I got excited for nothing."

Zhao Xu's newly-ignited desire to nurture talents gradually extinguished.

The lesson ended.

Yang Yi stayed behind to spar with the others.

"Be careful. My God-destroying Fist is unstoppable!"

A youth with a buzz cut and bushy eyebrows struck a stance. He threw a few punches in rapid succession, giving off an imposing aura.

However, Yang Yi blocked the punches, stood still, and returned the punch.

"Ow!"

The other disciple's face was strained. He spun three times and fell to the ground, howling non-stop.

General disciples were not allowed to learn martial techniques. With their realms, learning martial techniques was a strenuous and unrewarding activity.

He named his move the "God-destroying Fist" out of vanity. It was unimaginably weak.

Yang Yi felt the slight changes brought about by the Crimson Afterglow Technique's improvements and looked forward to breaking through to the Blood Refining stage. Then, he would be able to go to the sect's Martial Storage Pavilion and choose a suitable martial technique to cultivate.

The attribute panel had a category for pending martial techniques. It was likely that the Crimson Afterglow Technique was not the only martial art that could give him feedback reports.

"Thank you for the session." Yang Yi cupped his fists.

After retiring from the session, someone else quickly went up to the stage to compete.

When everyone's attention was on the stage, Yang Yi took the opportunity to continue his collection of spirit accumulation points.

It was the same as yesterday. He collected a total of 100 points.

On the ink map, the tone of the training field faded a little.

At this rate, there would probably be no spirit accumulation points left after three or four more rounds of collection.

However, Yang Yi was not worried. The Qixia sect had many places that were rich in spirit accumulation points.

In the evening, he returned to the courtyard and took a bath.

Yang Yi sat on the bed. He felt refreshed.

"Feedback on the Crimson Afterglow Technique, 10 times!"

[Your Crimson Afterglow Technique was too hasty in its cultivation and encountered a backlash. Experience -1.]

[Your Crimson Afterglow Technique attended a lesson and was enlightened. Experience +15.]

[Your Crimson Afterglow Technique has encountered a stalk of wind flame grass. After consuming it, it absorbed a pure stream of hot energy.]

Other than these three feedback reports, the rest gave him the usual 1 experience point each.

"That was shocking."

Yang Yi was confused when he attended the lesson in the afternoon.

He did not expect the Crimson Afterglow Technique to be enlightened. On top of that, he obtained 15 experience points!

The difference between him and his martial art was too huge. However, it was precisely because of this that he obtained a total of 21 experience points.

He could easily break through to the Blood Refining stage!

Host: Yang Yi

Realm: Blood Refining (5/500)

Spirit accumulation point: 0

Learned martial art: Crimson Afterglow Technique

Pending martial art: None

Number of scans: 0

He focused on the Crimson Afterglow Technique.

Martial art: Crimson Afterglow Technique

Realm: Level 2 (Blood Refining)

Characteristics: perceptive

Quality: Body Tempering martial art

Feedback: ...

[Your Crimson Afterglow Technique encountered a wind flame grass by chance. After consuming it, it absorbed a stream of pure and blazing energy.]

"I've finally broken through."

Yang Yi's face was filled with joy.

As he felt the increase in his body's strength, he wished that he could go to the courtyard and throw a few punches.

At the Skin Refining stage, the cultivated power remained on the body's surface. It was pure strength, and it would not last long.

After breaking through to the Blood Refining stage, the continuous flow of energy from his blood would give him greater endurance than the Skin Refining stage.

What surprised Yang Yi the most was that after breaking through to the Blood Refining stage, the panel showed him that he had five experience points.

This meant that the efficiency of obtaining experience points before and after breaking through was the same, but the upper limit was raised.

"According to the rate of 10 experience points per day, I should be able to break through to the Bone Refining realm in about two months!"

Yang Yi could see a bright ahead of himself.

In his excitement, he jumped off the bed and went to the courtyard. Facing the moonlight, he shouted as he struck the wooden pile.
