2. Selecting Martial Arts

The first floor of the Martial Arts Pavilion was quite crowded with disciples.

They were all Body Refining disciples. Some were just beginners with a basic understanding of martial arts. Others, like Lin Fei, had broken through to the fourth level of Body Refining.

There were also disciples above the seventh level of Body Refining, likewise choosing martial arts in the Martial Arts Pavilion.

After all, sometimes practicing martial arts, one might feel something is off. It might be necessary to change.

Body Refining martial arts, in the end, were meant to temper the body. So, they could be changed at any time.

But once one reached the acquired realm and practiced acquired martial arts, which could cultivate inner power, that would be different. Martial arts would not be changed so easily.

But during the Body Refining stage, there was no such worry, and one could change as desired. The only trouble might be all previous efforts were in vain after changing Body Refining martial arts.Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com

Lin Fei did not intend to change his Giant Whale Body Refining Technique. This Body Refining martial art had quite a good refining effect.

What Lin Fei sought were combat martial arts.

"In the Body Refining stage, weapons can play a significant role. So, it's best to choose a martial art that uses weapons."

With a clear goal in mind, Lin Fei began selecting from the martial arts available in the Martial Arts Pavilion.

According to Lin Fei's thinking, he had a system, martial arts could practice on their own. So naturally, he would choose the most powerful martial arts.

As for whether the martial arts were difficult to practice, what did that have to do with him? A mature martial art should be able to cultivate on its own.

Among a bunch of weapon techniques, Lin Fei chose a saber technique called Nine Shadow Saber Technique.

The reason for specifically choosing a saber technique was because among the many options, the Nine Shadow Saber Technique was the only weapon technique which had the fastest speed.

The Nine Shadow Saber Technique had no other fancy features. It only pursued speed. The ultimate speed!

In Lin Fei's memory, there was the saying, "In the world of martial arts, only speed is unbeatable."

These were the Vajra Iron Cloth and Tendon Transformation And Bone Forging Technique.

The Vajra Iron Cloth differed from ordinary Iron Cloth techniques in its extremity.

An ordinary Iron Cloth technique would make the skin membrane tough like cowhide but with vulnerable points. But after mastering Vajra Iron Cloth, there would be no weaknesses.

The only difference was its difficulty.

The Tendon Transformation And Bone Forging Technique was the most potent martial art for training muscles and bones. And it had no equal.

However, this martial art was said to incorporate certain theories from Daoism and Buddhism. Without a deep understanding of both Daoist and Buddhist principles, even beginners would struggle.

Lin Fei chose these martial arts and approached the elder of the Martial Arts Pavilion.

"Nine Shadow Saber Technique, Dragon-Elephant Vajra Fist, Vajra Iron Cloth, and Tendon Transformation And Bone Forging Technique. Four martial arts in total, but you can only choose three for free. You'll have to leave one martial art behind."

The Martial Arts Pavilion elder shook his head.

Lin Fei couldn't help but ask, "Elder, is there any way I can have all four?"

"Of course, just pay more! All martial arts can be exchanged with contribution points. These four martial arts each cost a thousand contribution points."

"But I don't have any contribution points."

Before, Lin Fei wasn't even at the fourth level of Body Refining, so he couldn't go out and earn contribution points.

"That makes it even simpler; if you don't have contribution points, just pay money. One tael of silver can be exchanged for one contribution point. A thousand contribution points would be a thousand taels of silver."

"Uh..."

The price seemed a bit steep. But Lin Fei thought about it. He was born into a merchant family, and his monthly allowance was substantial. A thousand taels—he could afford it.

"Fine, I'll pay the extra. Here's a silver bill for a thousand taels."

Lin Fei gritted his teeth and chose to pay.
