The level of martial arts in this world was much higher than that of Lin Fan's previous life on Earth. It was even more powerful than the martial arts in the wuxia novels that Lin Fan had read in his previous life.
For example, when martial arts were cultivated to a certain level, one could hit cows from a distance and activate divine sense. It was just like some of the supernatural powers in the wuxia novels that he had read in his previous life.
However, he had not come into contact with these yet.
At least, there was no such expert in Qingyang City.
For example, Lin Fan's current cultivation level was something that those who did not know would not be able to tell without testing his skills.
Therefore, Lin Fan could now boldly and confidently use the panel's conversion function to increase his skills. Although this speed of improvement was heaven-defying, as long as he did not show it, outsiders would not be able to see it.
After coming into contact with real skills and martial arts, Lin Fan finally understood why he couldn't practice martial arts before he reached full mastery of the Blood Cultivation Skill. It was because skills were the foundation, and the execution of martial arts required the support of one's skills.
Therefore, if he wanted to improve, he had to improve his cultivation methods first.
He first converted 200 points of Vitality into the first level of Blood Training, Phloem Skin Realm.
With a single thought, the Qi and blood in his entire body were instantly mobilized, surging endlessly within his body like a raging tide, rushing and surging through his skin and flesh, causing all the muscles in his body to tremble incessantly as if they were being electrocuted.
It was very strange.
Fortunately, he was wearing clothes. Otherwise, he would have frightened the disciples in the same room.
After a while, the Vitality calmed down. At this time, Lin Fan's skin and muscles had changed. His skin had become firm, firm, and resilient.
His muscles had become well-developed and powerful. His chest muscles, abdominal muscles, and all the other muscles in his body had begun to take shape, filled with an invisible tension.
Lin Fan could not see it because he was wearing clothes, but he could feel that his muscles were thick and full of strength.
Then, Lin Fan converted 100 points of Corpse Qi into Vitality, then converted another 100 points of Vitality into his cultivation methods.
His skin and flesh were once again rapidly nourished and forged by Vitality. Although it was only a short while, Lin Fan felt as if he had gone through thousands of training and torment.
After converting 300 points of Vitality into his cultivation methods, Lin Fan looked at the panel again and saw that it had changed.
Name: Lin Fan
Vitality: 100 (+)
Martial Arts: Blood Tempering Body First Level "Phloem Realm" (Elementary)
Martial Skills: Blood Bursting Fist (+), Blood Frenzy Eighteen Blades (+)
Ghost Arts: Yin Wind Palm (+)
Corpse energy: 3123
Yin energy: 125
Demonic aura: 0
…
His Vitality was left with 100 points, and his cultivation technique had reached the Phloem Skin stage. The + sign behind his cultivation technique had disappeared, indicating that his cultivation technique could not be improved for the time being. The + sign behind his Vitality had recovered, indicating that his Vitality was lacking and needed to be increased.
Vitality was very important, and he could not afford to lose it for even a moment. Lin Fan immediately used his mind to convert 500 points of Corpse Qi into 200 points of Vitality, replenishing his Vitality.
When his HP increased to 300, the plus sign behind his HP value did not disappear. This meant that his HP limit had been broken once again. At this point, he could continue to replenish his HP.
Now that he thought about it, it made sense. Now that he had achieved minor success in the phloem skin realm, his flesh had become thicker and stronger. Naturally, his body's capacity for blood energy had increased as well.
Lin Fan decided to replenish his HP by adding 10 points each time. After a total of five times, when his HP value reached 350, the plus sign behind it finally disappeared.
Then, Lin Fan converted another 100 points of Vitality into Blood Bursting Fist. With a thought, his Vitality suddenly churned and condensed into two streams, rushing toward his hands. Soon, his hands were filled with Vitality, condensing and settling. The power of his Vitality was magnificent and vast.
The power of Blood Bursting Fist was increasing.
Then, Lin Fan replenished his Vitality again. Martial Skills were different from physical cultivation techniques. When physical cultivation techniques improved, the capacity of one's Vitality would increase as well.
When martial skills improved, the capacity of one's Vitality would not increase.
Then, Lin Fan used the same method to upgrade Blood Frenzy Eighteen Blades to Elementary.
With a single thought, his blood and Qi surged. This time, his blood and Qi condensed into a stream that surged toward his right arm, right hand, and even the bones and joints of his entire body. It increased the strength of his joints and his right arm, increasing its flexibility.
Weapons like sabers and swords, to put it bluntly, were actually substitutes for the body or an extension of the arm. If a person's body was strong enough and fast enough, and his arm was as hard and sharp as a saber or sword, then sabers and swords would be useless to him.
Therefore, upgrading a saber skill, especially a single saber skill like Blood Frenzy Eighteen Blades, was actually improving the whole body's joints and right arm's strength and technique.
At this moment, Lin Fan opened the panel to check again. It showed:
Name: Lin Fan
Vitality: 350
Martial Skill: Blood-strengthening Physique Level One "Phloem Skin" (Elementary)
Martial Skill: Blood Bursting Fist (Elementary), Blood Frenzy Eighteen Blades (Elementary)
Phantom Art: Sinister Wind Palm (+)
Corpse Energy: 1,733
Yin Energy: 125
Demon Energy: 0
…
Vitality: 350, full value, no more.
Cultivation technique: Phloem Skin (Elementary), the plus sign behind it disappeared, no more improvement.
Two sets of martial skills had also reached Elementary and could not be improved anymore.
Lin Fan felt that this should be temporary.
As for why it could not be improved anymore, Lin Fan felt that it was either because of his body or the system panel.
After upgrading his cultivation technique and martial skills to Elementary, Lin Fan only needed to familiarize himself with his fist technique and saber skill.
There was a training field the size of a football field in the entrance disciples' area. It was for the disciples to practice external skills and spar with each other.
Lin Fan would meditate, practice his fist technique, and saber every day. Although he had a cheat like the panel that allowed him to reach the sky in a single bound, he still cultivated like the other disciples. He was even more hardworking than the other disciples. Of course, this was mainly for others to see.
Others would need at least a month to upgrade from Phloem Skin to Elementary through Blood-strengthening Physique, but it was only a matter of an instant for him. Moreover, he did not spend a single Blood Flourishing Pill.
Blood Bursting Fist and Berserk Blood Eighteen Blades were martial skills that required at least a month to reach the entry level. Lin Fan had also improved in an instant.
Such an abnormal speed of improvement was not a big problem. The premise was that he could not show it. If he did, it would inevitably arouse the suspicion of others.
Lin Fan appeared to be hardworking in front of everyone so that he could use his martial skills as soon as possible in the future. This was because in everyone's view, the improvement of martial skills was inseparable from diligent cultivation.
Seeing Lin Fan so hardworking in his cultivation, the other entrance disciples all secretly admired him.
Mei Dadao was like Lin Fan's class teacher in his previous life who followed Ban Zou. Normally, he would take care of chores and apprentices until the entrance disciples had outstanding performances and were promoted to Elite Disciple. Only then would they be taken care of by the Faction Master, Vice Faction Master, or an Elder.
Because he took care of many disciples and they were all not in the same place, Mei Dadao usually did not live in the entrance disciples' area. The daily tasks and assignments of the entrance disciples had nothing to do with him.
Since Mei Dadao did not live here, he could not constantly monitor Lin Fan. Therefore, he could not see whether Lin Fan had taken Blood Flourishing Pills or accepted missions from the faction. Since he could not see, there would not be any suspicions. This was a good thing for Lin Fan.
Lin Fan immersed himself in cultivation and did not interact with anyone except for Lu Hua.
Lu Hua's cultivation base had already fallen behind Lin Fan's, and his Blood Cultivation Technique had yet to reach the Great Circle. Seeing that Lin Fan had arrived earlier than him, but his cultivation base was higher than his, he felt anxious. Thus, he secretly worked hard to catch up.
Lin Fan ate and lived in the sect. He had almost no expenses, so he was not in a hurry to accept missions.
First of all, accepting a mission would be dangerous.
Moreover, accepting a mission would require him to use his martial skills. Once he used them, he would be exposed.
Fortunately, there were no mandatory missions. This situation continued for half a month.
