with Minor Achievement, the amount of Qi Blood, is far from insignificant!
with this much, you can easily last a 10 minute, high level battle without collapsing, and with the sheer potency, adaptability and tenaciousness, of Ma Qing’s Qi Blood, he can very well last longer.
and the amount replenished by time, when draining your essence, is set at 5% an hour, meaning, you can still deal with small scuffles.
this means, he can take on low level escort missions outside the city, accompanying seniors, and take on lower risk missions, across the city alone.
‘now, all I got to do, is finish the test, and I’ll be good to go!’ the Test, was simple.
all you needed to do, was tie or defeat a person in the Minor Achievement realm.
that was easier said than done, since seniors, always had plenty of experience.
that’s why, it only lasts for 10 minutes for it to be considered a tie.
with that though, he looked at the panel, showing his martial arts…
[Earth Shattering Saber Skill:0/10 Uninitiated] [Ghost Blood Saber Skill:31/100 Beginner] ‘..
I Can’t use the Ghost blood saber openly so…
yeah, I need to train..’ he picked his ass up, and went to the courtyard.
all he needed to do was practice the Basic Set, than the Qi Blood Set.
the basic set, was very, rudimentary, and foundational.
Unlike the Ghost Blood Saber, the Earth Shattering Saber’ basic set, is directly linked to the Qi Blood set, rather than being an additional set, like the Ghost Blood Saber, the Earth Shattering Set, is more like, the stepping stones, to evolve it into the Qi Blood Set.
so, by practicing the Basic Set, you’d be cultivating the movements, of the Qi Blood Set as well.
this made Ma Qing’s progress exponential!
with his experience in wielding a Pickaxe, Axe, and a Saber, he could easily pull his understanding all the way up to Beginner, and continue to climb higher!
WHOOSH a huge gust of wind moved wherever he swung his blade, each strike carrying tremendous force!
‘even without Qi Blood enhancing, each move feels tremendously powerful…’ that was something he found surprising, after all, this world didn’t have much technological advancement, yet, they have an incredibly profound understanding of the body to use every joint to create power?
yet, each time, he slowly realised that death was natural, which probably lead to dissection to see how the inner body works.
if not that, a master must of spent days deeply ingraining every detail of their movements into their brain, than forging it.
he than, started chanting the Saber’ Heart Mantra.
immediately, an immense force swirled around his blade!
this time, he could barely control it!
with one slash he almost fell over!
BOOOOOM A giant crevice split the earth beneath his feat, his body, was trembling, like it used up extreme amounts of energy!
‘what the hell…’ his thoughts were shaky…
he didn’t know that one single strike would be this devastating!
‘the Ghost Blood Saber had some crazy skills, yet…’ to forcefully pull him with the blow was insane!
‘no wonder the seniors still trained the basics, it was to allow the body to gain control over such a forceful technique!’ with that, he decided to start training like a mad man, using the basic set, not even thinking of the heart mantra.
‘I’m no way ready for the Qi Blood Set..’ this time, he took a more focused approach.
rather than steamrolling through every movement, he planned to hone each movement 10 times, reviewing what worked, and what failed for each.
that way, he would slowly break down the skill until he can do the moves consistently than hone the Basic Set like a mad man.
the 1st move in the Basic Set, was a downward slash.
called the ‘Foundational Movement’ because the Technique got it’s name from it alone.
with each attempt, he slowly felt something develop within him…
he had no idea what, but, it felt innate..
something primal?
though, he believed it wasn’t a bad thing.
*** he spent an entire 3 days and nights, without rest, other than eating, to practice the Basic Set.
it was foolish, sure, it was reckless, sure, it was unstable, sure.
but volume in this part of the training was integral.
it would revolutionise how quickly he can progress in the Qi Blood Set, and how much control he would have over it.
plus, ever since reaching Blood nourishing Minor Achievement, his endurance and energy stopped dropping, remaining constant.
not to mention.
his thoughts were…
unusually clear..
each movement was impressive, yet still riddled with beginner flaws.
flaws that couldn’t be undone by yourself.
but, in such a state of mind, it no longer mattered, as..
he did it.
