High Martial Arts: I Awaken a Low-Tier Martial System

”The allure of beauty draws one to demise, yet it is one of life’s most important experiences.” Jiang Ye looked at these diverse and enchanting maidens and gained a faint realization.

He closed his eyes, peacefully enjoying their service.

Time slipped away.

Following his heart, Jiang Ye was gaining insights into the path truly his own.

Who knew how much time had passed.

”Swoosh~”

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and those maidens before him had turned into cold skeletons, yet they continued their mechanical massages.

But Jiang Ye did not rise.

Lying there, he experienced the service of these icy skeletons.

”Red powder skeletons, a handful of dust.”

”A martial artist should not be lost to apparent beauty, nor fear the essence’s emptiness.” Jiang Ye’s realization deepened: ”Prosperity and dissolution, spring charm and cold frost, all are essential parts of life.”

Whew~

He rose with determination.

The massage room, along with the red powder skeletons, rapidly vanished.

That grand dojo reappeared.

Jiang Ye once again took hold of the spear.

But now he exuded a completely different aura.

”Seeing emptiness in beauty, staying true within emptiness.” Jiang Ye murmured, ”This is my path!”

Swish~

Once again, he waved the long spear.

At that moment, countless images seemed to unfurl in Jiang Ye’s mind, graceful figures flashed by: Chen Zilu, Zhao Qingli, Yun Qing’Er...

Yet in the next instant, these figures turned into red powder skeletons.

Not being lost in apparent beauty nor fearing the essence’s emptiness.

This was Jiang Ye’s Dao!

”Boom!” Jiang Ye gripped the spear tightly and made a fierce strike.

With the strike’s thrust, the entire dojo’s intent realm underwent a magnificent transformation.

Bursting spring colors appeared, all while ghastly white bones rained down from the sky... two contradictory intent realms merged.

”Rumble!!” At the moment Jiang Ye thrust the spear, these two intents fully erupted.

This spear!

Hidden spring charm, containing white bones.

Only the sound of ”rumble” was heard, as if the whole dojo was hit by a nuclear bomb, shattering in a vigorous quake.

”It’s done.” Jiang Ye finally smiled.

He finally created a spear technique truly his own!

”Whew—”

At that moment, past memories flooded back; countless days and nights spent practicing the Great Sun Spear Technique, practicing the Cold Sun Spear Technique.

These spear technique memories returned to Jiang Ye’s mind.

But now, Jiang Ye found them unimportant.

”A spear technique truly my own.”

”I’ll call it... Luoshen Spear.” Jiang Ye smiled.

Luoshen Spear, Beauty Spear!

This was a spear technique realm that belonged solely to Jiang Ye.

It would undoubtedly completely replace all of Jiang Ye’s past techniques, reaching an unprecedented new height.

Because it was truly Jiang Ye’s own, perfectly suited to him.

At the moment Jiang Ye named the spear technique.

”Swish~” The surrounding environment rapidly retreated.

And with it, Jiang Ye’s consciousness suddenly went dark.

...

”Swish!”

When Jiang Ye opened his eyes again, he was already standing on the gleaming Martial Arts Celestial Ladder.

”Rumble!”

A magnificent Martial Arts Golden Stele rose slowly, with four grand characters inscribed in bold strokes:

’Martial Arts Ancestor’!

[Congratulations, you have reached the Martial Arts Celestial Ladder Fifth Layer, acquiring the Immortal Monument!]

[Calculating rewards...]

”Finally passed.”

Jiang Ye sighed deeply, slight unease in his heart: ”I wonder how much time has passed in the outside world?”

He still remembered, Chen Zilu was waiting outside.

This assessment took several years.

But the assessment time differed from real time, Jiang Ye was unsure of the outside world’s time flow.

As Jiang Ye waited.

The rewards calculation page finally surfaced.
