High Martial Arts: Enlightenment after Practices

After filtering through the list for a moment, Xu Wuyi’s eyes landed on a personal smart device called the "Starlight-III."

[Starlight-III Personal Smart Device]

[Manufacturer: Seventh Research Institute of the Federation Science Academy]

[Core Processor: Quantum Entanglement Array (capable of 10^18 calculations per second)]

[Built-in Functions: Real-time battlefield analysis, Cultivation Technique deduction assistance, Energy Fluctuation monitoring, cross-planar communication (requires corresponding relay equipment), virtual reality access (maximum Simulation Level 92%)]

[Exchange Price: 2,000 Merit Points]

Two thousand Merit Points was equivalent to twenty million Federation Coins.

This was already the highest-tier personal smart device available, and for the current Xu Wuyi, the price wasn’t too steep.

He clicked "Exchange" and confirmed the payment.

A little over ten minutes later, the villa’s doorbell rang.

A staff member was standing outside, holding a silver-gray metal case. They apparently had stock nearby.

"Martial Artist Xu, the item you exchanged for has been delivered."

Xu Wuyi took the case and thanked him.

Back in his room, he opened the lid of the case.

Inside lay a watch-like device. Its body was matte black, and its face was a deep, dark blue crystal with faint specks of light flowing across its surface.

Xu Wuyi put it on his left wrist.

The face lit up automatically as a soft blue light scanned his wrist, completing the biometric binding.

"Identity confirmed: Xu Wuyi, Innate Martial Artist, Merit Level: Three-star."

"Starlight-III Personal Smart Device initialization complete. Please set an interaction avatar and name."

Xu Wuyi looked at the holographic screen that appeared above the watch face, and the image of the AI projection from Star Martial University flashed through his mind.

He had grown accustomed to Anna’s presence during his years at the university, so he decided to stick with her.

"Avatar: Female, simple and elegant long dress, beautiful features."

"Name: Anna."

The data stream on the holographic screen flickered for a moment before stabilizing.

A soft blue light projected from the watch face, coalescing into a familiar humanoid silhouette in front of him.

She wore a simple, elegant long dress, had beautiful features, and a calm gaze.

"Good morning, Mr. Xu Wuyi." A neutral, calm electronic voice spoke. "I am your personal AI, Anna. It is my pleasure to serve you."

"Hello, Anna."

"Synchronizing your personal file, combat records, and Cultivation Technique data..."

"Synchronization complete."

"Detected current Merit Points: 83,000. Based on your Martial Arts System, recent combat performance, and development needs, a list of recommended resources for exchange has been generated."

On the holographic screen, the exchange list recommended by Anna was clearly laid out and categorized.

Xu Wuyi scanned it, his gaze first falling on the "Martial Arts Manuals" category.

[A-level Martial Art: "Profound Nether Celestial Spear" (Gravity Manipulation/Suppression Mental Realm), exchange cost: 1,200 Merit Points]

[A-level Martial Art: "Quicksand Step" (Universal Body Technique), exchange cost: 1,000 Merit Points]

[S-class Mineral: ’Coreflame Iron’ (500g), exchange cost: 20,000 Merit Points]

[Grandmaster Level Restoration Pod Access (10 uses), exchange cost: 15,000 Merit Points]

[B+ Level Spiritual Stability Potion (pack of 12), exchange cost: 6,000 Merit Points]

...

"According to an analysis of your combat data," Anna’s calm voice said, "you have already reached an extremely high level in long-range Area Attacks, but you have a shortcoming in close-quarters assault. You especially lack effective repositioning and evasion techniques when facing speed-focused enemies."

Xu Wuyi nodded.

He was well aware of this himself.

In the battles at Wind-Carved Valley and Zone E-9, he had mostly relied on the overwhelming power of his Heart Image’s flame, so there hadn’t been many situations that truly required close-quarters combat.

But once he encountered an assassin on the level of the Wind Shadow Hunter, his weakness was exposed.

He had actually faced this issue in his earlier years and later compensated for it with other Martial Arts.

But now that his strength had grown, the Martial Arts he used for it could no longer keep up.

"In terms of Spear Technique, the Shocking God Spear focuses on Spirit Shock and lacks physical killing power. You need a close-combat Spear Technique that can synergize with your Heart Image’s flame and provides both control and burst damage."

Anna continued her analysis.

"The Profound Nether Celestial Spear is a Gravity-Attribute, A-level Martial Art. Its core lies in the Mental Realms of ’Gravity Field manipulation,’ ’spatial suppression,’ and ’traction and pressure.’ It can complement the flame of your Golden Crow Burning Heart. The Flame is for offense and incineration, while Gravity is for control and suppression."

"As for Body Techniques, although Quicksand Step is A-level, its core lies in ’adaptability’ and ’deception.’ It is especially effective in complex terrains like sandy ground and swamps. In the future, you may enter battlefields similar to the Quicksand Star Realm, so this Body Technique has high practical value."

Xu Wuyi looked at the list, not making an immediate decision.

’Gravity Attribute...’ he repeated in a low voice.

Martial Arts with this Attribute were relatively rare within the Federation because they demanded an extremely high level of spiritual control from the Cultivator.

But if mastered, it could often produce unexpected effects in actual combat. Changing the local gravity could slow an enemy’s movements, throw them off balance, or even crush them directly with Gravity.

"What’s Coreflame Iron?" he asked.

"It’s a special mineral born in the depths of the planet’s core magma, refined over ten thousand years of high temperature and pressure." Anna pulled up detailed information. "Its interior contains extremely pure Fire Attribute Energy, and its texture is tough with a stable core. It can be used as an object for Visualization to assist with Cultivation."

Xu Wuyi understood.

Cultivation at the Innate Realm was primarily about using the Heart Image to draw in external Energy. Having a physical object to act as a catalyst would undoubtedly speed up the process.

The Coreflame Iron was an excellent training tool. Although its price was high, it wasn’t a consumable and could be used indefinitely.

"And the restoration pod and spiritual potions?" he asked.

"A Grandmaster Level Restoration Pod can repair most non-fatal injuries within 24 hours, including organ damage, fractured bones, and moderate spiritual trauma. Considering you may participate in higher-intensity battles in the future, it is recommended to reserve some usage access."

"The B+ Level Spiritual Stability Potion is mainly used to alleviate the mental fatigue caused by prolonged combat and to prevent the backlash from overexerting your Power of Heart Image. Although your Heart Image, the Dark Gold Mountain Body, is stable, continuous, high-intensity use of the Flame True Seal will still place a burden on your Spirit."

Anna’s analysis was comprehensive, and everything she mentioned was something he actually needed.

Xu Wuyi thought for a moment, then opened the detailed description for the "Profound Nether Celestial Spear."

A Martial Arts demonstration video appeared on the holographic screen.

A holographic Martial Artist held a long spear. The Spear Technique wasn’t flashy, but with every thrust, the surrounding space faintly distorted.

Wherever the spear’s shaft passed, the air seemed to thicken, and light bent slightly.

When the core killing moves were executed, one could even see distinct gravitational ripples spreading out, pulling all objects within range downward.

"The Profound Nether Celestial Spear is divided into three Realms," Anna explained in sync with the video.

"The first Realm is the ’Juntian Stance.’ Once mastered, the spear generates its own Gravity Field, increasing the force of its strikes. The second Realm, ’Profound Nether Pull,’ allows you to manipulate the direction of local gravity, making an enemy feel as if they are trapped in a mire or suddenly become weightless."

"The third Realm is the ’Domain Field,’ which forms a stable Gravity Domain. Everything within this Domain is under the user’s control."
