Martial Arts Genius with Proficiency System

That hand seal, he recognized it too well.

It was the basic hand seal of the Heaven-Flipping Seal.

"Su Tu, what is your view on the Ancient Skill?"

Wei Yang asked, looking at Su Tu with expectant eyes.

"Marvelous!" Su Tu blurted out.

"Why do you say that?" Wei Yang quickly inquired.

Seeing Wei Yang form the Heaven-Flipping Seal, Su Tu knew that Wei Yang was already aware of his ability to form it.

So, he decided not to hold back.

He expressed all his insights about the Heaven-Flipping Seal, naturally not hiding its wonderful ability to calm and focus the mind.

Wei Yang listened with bright eyes.

"Genius!! This is genius, a natural prodigy of the Ancient Skill!"

"The marvels of the Ancient Skill took us a long time to study, but he directly sensed the wonders of the Ancient Skill!"

"If this child is not taken under our wing, it would be a disgrace to our ancestors!"

Wei Yang thought excitedly to himself.

"How long have you mastered the Heaven-Flipping Seal?" Wei Yang asked.

"Almost a month, but I can only use it for calming the mind. When I want to truly activate the Ancient Skill, I always fall short."

Su Tu concealed the fact that he used the Heaven-Flipping Seal at the Martial Arts Department.

He respected Wei Yang, but not to the extent of sharing everything.

"Exactly! The Ancient Skill is not useless; it's that this era cannot bear it, as it lacks something—namely, the Immortal Power needed to employ it!"

Wei Yang spoke with some excitement.

"Immortal Power?"

It was Su Tu's first time hearing this term.

Wei Yang didn't keep it a secret, and began to explain his background and identity.

The study of Ancient Skills has a long history, and though they've faded over the years, they never stopped exploring it; they truly love Ancient Skills.

Many have mastered the Ancient Skills, but like Su Tu, only feel something missing, rendering the skill mere formality.

Through countless explorations, they found evidence of Immortal Power in numerous documents.

It was the key to activating the Ancient Skill.

"Immortal Power, like Qi, is a form of Life Energy, but according to our deductions, it is a more potent form than the internal True Qi locked within the body."

"Whether it's a flaw in the system or forbidden by heaven and earth, this era lacks Immortal Power."

Wei Yang spoke with some regret.

"We tried various methods, but couldn't find Immortal Power, nor could we activate Ancient Skills."

"Perhaps this era cannot unleash the brilliance of Ancient Skills, but I believe these techniques that once shone in the hands of the Immortals will one day explode into greatness that can't be ignored!"

"It's just that this day may be far off, so far that I may not see it."

Wei Yang's tone was full of longing, but his eyes showed solitude.

He really wanted to prove that what he and others have been researching is remarkable, but… that day seems so distant.

Yet, Wei Yang didn't notice that Su Tu was deep in thought, with brilliance shining in his eyes.

He had once used the Ancient Skill, and had witnessed its strength; that day was not far, it had even already arrived.

He had always pondered over what he was missing, and now he finally knew the missing strength was called… Immortal Power.

"What was it at that time that let me have Immortal Power to activate the Heaven-Flipping Seal?" Su Tu quickly recalled the scene from that day.

But for some reason, a mist seemed to obscure his memory, and only then did Su Tu suddenly realize.

Why, as a top student, didn't he immediately review the details after using the Heaven-Flipping Seal?

Reviewing is a basic trait of top students; something subtly distorted his perception, prohibiting him from revisiting the details of using the Heaven-Flipping Seal.

Just then, Wei Yang handed an ancient booklet to Su Tu.

"I may not see that day, but perhaps you can."

"This is the first book I analyzed about the Ancient Skill, if you don't mind, it's yours." Wei Yang said softly.

Beside the booklet was a thick pile of research reports, on top of which was written...

Ancient Skill·Eight-Nine Profound Skill!

....

Twelve thousand today, let's see who dares to say I'm short!
