“Stellar Body RefiningTechnique” (Beginner).
Technique Description: Created by Wang He, a level eleven expert of the Martial Alliance and included in the Fireseed Project.
“Natural Breathing Technique” (Beginner).
Technique Description: Created by Yang Yi Zhou, a level eleven expert of the Martial Alliance and included in the Fireseed Project.
“Crystal Visualization Technique” (Beginner).
Technique Description: Created by Duan Yifeng, a level eleven expert of the Martial Alliance and included in the Fireseed Project.
The names of the three techniques, each more prominent than the last, and the creators made Lu Sheng’s eyes sparkle.
level eleven! level eleven! level eleven!
The current top martial artists in the world are only at level nine, yet Lu Sheng was presented with three techniques from level eleven experts!
Though these are just beginner level techniques, their value is immeasurable and hard to put into words.
Lu Sheng noticed that each technique was marked “included in the Fireseed Project”
Recalling the message from the database, “The Fireseed Project has been activated,” he began to grasp the project’s meaning.
“The top martial artists of the future Martial Alliance must have anticipated the impending fate of humanity.
Unable to change it, they stored the essence of their life’s work,
hoping that future generations would carry on this fire…”
Lu Sheng sighed, “Little did they know, it would be their predecessors who would pick up this fire.”
Looking at the three techniques, Lu Sheng thought for a second; then spoke, “Query for subsequent techniques.”
“Insufficient permissions. Query failed. Please upgrade your access level.”
“As expected…”
The Fireseed Resource Library is undoubtedly a supreme treasure trove.
But accessing it requires conditions,
which is sufficient permissions. And permissions are tied to the individual’s strength, achievements, reputation, and contributions.
Lu Sheng didn’t try further. Instead, he focused on studying the three techniques in front of him.
The martial arts crystallizations of eleven-level top experts—Lu Sheng read every word carefully, afraid that he’ll miss anything.
Soon, he finished reading all three techniques.
Lu Sheng was deeply shocked.
Although he hadn’t started practicing yet, he was already overwhelmed by the grand and imaginative concepts within the techniques.
“The ‘Stellar Body Tempering Technique’ treats the body as a microcosm. At advanced levels, the warrior’s body density becomes terrifyingly high, with unimaginable defense and strength, and qi and blood as fierce as a star, as vast as the Milky Way.”
“The ‘Natural Breathing Technique’ accelerates the progress of any martial arts practice. It can also bring the warrior into a state of unity with nature, greatly benefiting their martial arts realm.”
“The ‘Crystal Visualization Technique’ purifies the mind and enhances willpower, involving the most mysterious aspect of martial cultivation—mental strength.”
Each of the three techniques had different focuses, making them the supreme introductory techniques for a first-level warrior—Introductory Level.
Eager to begin, Lu Sheng started practicing.
Although the gains from training in the dream space couldn’t carry over to reality, mastering the techniques in the dream would speed up his progress in reality.
Lu Sheng began with the “Stellar Body Refining Technique” and the “Natural Breathing Technique.”
Despite being introductory techniques, their high level meant that even with the memory proficiency bonus, it took Lu Sheng, a first-level warrior, half a day to barely get started.
As Lu Sheng executed the final move of the “Stellar Body refining Technique,” his entire body immediately trembled as if electrified.
A violently intense pain and tingling sensation swept through every corner of his body like a tidal wave.
Even the tiniest muscles and meridians in his little finger were shocked and trained.
This pain lasted for over half an hour before gradually diminishing, followed by an unparalleled sense of comfort.
Lu Sheng was immersed in the intense pleasure of cultivation, feeling as if his soul was about to leave his body.
If the effect of his previous body refining technique was 1, the combination of the “Stellar Body refining Technique” and the “Natural Breathing Technique” was a thousand or more.
The initial “24 Basic Body refining Techniques” promoted by the Martial Alliance could now be completely disregarded, akin to radio calisthenics.
After one round, Lu Sheng collapsed, unable to move.
At this moment, he tried practicing the “Crystal Visualization Technique.”
The “Crystal Visualization Technique” concept was both wonderful and mysterious. Its first step required the practitioner to visualize a human figure made entirely of crystal in their mind.
This crystal figure initially had impurities, which would be removed bit by bit through breathing until it was spotless.
Although Lu Sheng didn’t fully grasp the principles and effects of the “Crystal Visualization Technique,” he knew the importance of mental willpower in martial cultivation.
A warrior with strong willpower and no distractions would have far greater combat power and cultivation speed than one with a loose will and many desires.
Thus, many martial artists were ascetics.
Despite the wonders of the “Crystal Visualization Technique,” it was very challenging to practice.
Even with the computer’s assistance, constructing a three-dimensional crystal figure in front of him, Lu Sheng couldn’t immediately form his own crystal figure in his mind.
He would have to take his time.
