Martial Arts Genius with Proficiency System

Upon hearing Ma Long's words, Li Hu slightly frowned; he didn't like his friend talking in such a defeatist manner.

Su Tu understood Ma Long's meaning; after the Martial Arts Dao cultivation falls to Falling Leaves, Opening Martial Bone, condensing Martial Intent, the flesh receives Martial Dao augmentation and support.

It can withstand the wash of time, the flesh remaining immortal for three hundred years, but the heart and spirit differ; the flesh being immortal doesn't mean the heart and spirit are undying.

The Suffering Tier Heart Life can reach 150 years, but if before the heart life runs out, one cannot cross the Sea of Suffering to reach the Mortal World, then the heart and spirit will be extinguished.

Many Martial Artists, due to insufficient heart and spirit talent, cannot cross the Sea of Suffering and face a situation where their flesh's longevity hasn't ended but their heart and spirit cultivation is lacking, leading to heart and spirit extinction, leaving behind only the flesh.

The reason heart and spirit cultivation is considered the road to Immortals and gods is crucial.

It's known that even if the flesh perishes, those with high heart and spirit cultivation can persist in the world.

Currently, there exists in the Federation's higher levels a being whose flesh has fallen but whose heart and spirit remains eternally like a beacon.

Heart and spirit are the fields of geniuses, and this statement has never been mere talk.

According to Li Hu, during the Federation's early emergence in the Star River, the Human Race welcomed a young prodigy with exceptional Martial Arts talent; the boy was born with all acupoints opened, and within half a month of engaging in Martial Arts, he entered Mingtiao.

He truly resembled a reincarnated Martial God; not yet twenty-five, he had already broken through Tier Five, passed three thresholds, and directly entered the Celestial Human Realm, even hoping to surpass Venerable within ten years and achieve Daoist Master within a century.

Yet this future Martial God, hailed by human civilization, lacked talent in heart and spirit, his heart and spirit not even reaching Flawless.

Later, during a war between the Federation and a civilization at Overlord Level, he was plotted against, exhausting his heart life; a boy expected to be the youngest Daoist Master was left with only an empty shell.

From then on, the importance of heart and spirit cultivation increased significantly.

Su Tu's current Martial Arts cultivation is not viewed highly by Ma Long, but the talent in heart and spirit that he exhibits shocks him immensely.

Such a prodigy is unheard of.

Unexpectedly, this guy Li Hu's junior brother possesses such talent.

Recalling how Li Hu kept asking him about his sister earlier, he instantly grasped what the other wanted.

However, he was too lazy to bother with Li Hu now, and his eyes turned to Su Tu.

"Junior Brother, your heart and spirit stance in the Sea of Suffering seemed strong, was progress difficult?" Ma Long asked.

"This is my fighting partner Ma Long, he's one of us, feel free to speak," Li Hu added.

Su Tu recalled himself treading the Sea of Suffering yesterday, a single step had awakened thunder and lightning.

"It's okay, progress wasn't difficult."

"That's good; it proves your heart and spirit foundation is strong, but be mindful, some who have long crossed the Sea of Suffering sometimes return with malicious intent; be cautious of such beings."

"Yesterday, while I was crossing the Sea of Suffering, a senior standing in the void dispersed my heart and spirit with one sound, returning to his own world to recuperate; be very careful," Ma Long advised.

Hearing Ma Long speak, Su Tu couldn't help but think about how he might have inadvertently scattered a heart and spirit yesterday...

It couldn't be such a coincidence, could it...

Afterward, Ma Long and Li Hu imparted some experiences in crossing the Sea of Suffering to Su Tu.

The main point was that if the heart and spirit are insufficient, one shouldn't forcefully withstand; it's better to retreat into one's own world to recuperate and plan later.

The heart and spirit differ from Martial Dao; a single misstep can lead to danger.

After memorizing their warnings, Su Tu left first to practice.

"Huzi, you are a bit sneaky!" Ma Long looked at his friend with unfriendly eyes.

Li Hu laughed mischievously: "Wanted to give you a surprise! What do you think of my junior brother?"

"The heart and spirit talent is unprecedented; this young man is undoubtedly the one standing for the people, with a strong will and rare prowess!"

"How does he compare to your sister?" Li Hu couldn't help but raise his head proudly upon hearing Ma Long praise his junior brother.

"My sister excels in direct combat." Ma Long didn't directly answer his question.

But the implication was clear enough; though her heart and spirit might not match, his sister could fight.

However, hearing this, Li Hu grinned widely.

Combat??

What a coincidence, my junior brother's combat skills seem even more terrifying.

"How about arranging a chance for them to spar?"

"Alright, Nuannuan has a technique class today, letting young people verify each other can lead to better progress." Ma Long agreed and took out his phone.

Upon hearing this, Li Hu's mouth curled into a smile as if he could already see Ma Long's shock.

You think my junior brother's heart and spirit talent is the only impressive thing? No! Heart and spirit are merely a part of his talent!!

Hehe, my Martial God Junior Brother's first chapter is about to shine with the help of his senior brother...

...

Crack crack crack~

Ka ka~

Su Tu was unaware of his senior brother's thoughts at this moment; now he's standing firm and sweating heavily.

Today was the day to push Strengthen Body to a high stage.

He devoted himself wholeheartedly to driving Immortal Burial, opened around himself, with the energy inside rising gradually, breaking mountains and rivers.

The next moment.

The system prompt appeared suddenly before his eyes.

[You cultivated Immortal Burial for sixty minutes, Body Strengthening Proficiency +30]

[Strengthen Body Advanced Tier, Skill Points +1]

[Current Skill Points: 11]

[Strengthen Body (Advanced Tier): 10/5000]

"Finally reached Advanced Tier!!" Su Tu's eyes flashed with brilliance; since engaging with Martial Arts, he had trained daily till now, finally pushing Strengthen Body skill to Advanced Tier.

This made him start to look forward to changes in himself.

With the appearance of this prompt.

Su Tu suddenly felt the bones throughout his body begin to crackle, as every inch of skin and muscle exhibited a sense of swelling, with power rising rapidly.

Simultaneously, as the muscles inflated, they compressed to the extreme, previously bulky muscles now appeared almost like works of art, each line and contour nearly perfect.

With a virtual grasp, he could faintly feel the air compressed into the palm's touch.

This occurs when strength reaches a certain limit, and the hand's opening and closing create low pressure.

"Fivefold, my strength has increased by at least fivefold!" He perceived the changes in his body.

If he had grasped advanced Strengthen Body the day at the Martial Arts Department, he wouldn't need the Heaven-Flipping Seal or any technique; with only the flesh, Su Tu could crush every inch of bone in his opponent's body.

How can a mere Hundred Acupoints compare to a body tempered by thousands of hammer strikes?

He took a deep breath, wanting to test his body's current deadly force; with a single-handed fist, he struck downward, as the energy within him drove like a landslide, activating Prajna Seven Kills and striking down.

At this moment.

Outside the Body Tempering Room, Wang Nuannuan was courteously standing behind Ma Long; upon receiving her senior brother's call, she came directly over.

"Hello, Brother Li." Wang Nuannuan spoke softly, a little shy; that's her character.

"Hahaha, Nuannuan, right? Excellent, excellent. I've encountered a little trouble recently. My junior brother's talent is quite good, but his personality is problematic; he's too arrogant. I hope you can help teach him a lesson."

Li Hu said this, using words learned from a certain Guardian Bear.

"I'll do my best." Wang Nuannuan didn't overthink, missing the boast within Li Hu's words, unlike Ma Long beside her who couldn't resist rolling his eyes.

As they spoke, they all entered the Body Tempering Room together.

Just as they stepped inside, a sound exploded.

Boom!!!

Unmatched power tore through the air, striking the void, causing several black thunder lines to appear, making the entire Body Tempering Room tremble slightly, and the ground beneath their feet cracked open.

Air swirled wildly, pulling forth as if forming a small cyclone.

And all this was actually the result of a punch from that young man.

Wang Nuannuan watched that figure, feeling weak all over; such powerful momentum resembled an ancient fierce beast, capable of obliterating hearts and spirits. To fight him? Is this for real??

Li Hu and Ma Long were also watching this scene, filled with disbelief; is this the Peeping Branch Realm?? Is this seventy-some acupoints??
