Spirit Creek Village, at the home of the old village head.

“Xiaoyun, Tianhu, Liangpeng!” Old Village Head Lu Cangsheng had a beaming expression, Lu Yun, Lu Tianhu, and Lu Liangpeng had shown exemplary performance during this medicinal bath.

Especially Lu Yun, who had undergone two whole medicinal baths, showed extraordinary talent that filled Lu Cangsheng’s heart with joy.

Spirit Creek Village finally had a real prodigy.

“Xiaoyun, I want to ask you, have you become a formal martial artist?” Lu Cangsheng curiously asked.

Lu Yun blinked his eyes, he didn’t expect the old village head to ask this question, “how could he tell that he had advanced to become a martial artist?”

“Village head grandpa, I don’t really know what happened, but I feel that I have a knack for martial arts. I practiced wholeheartedly and then I achieved the Great accomplishment of Breaking Wind Saber Technique.”

Although unexpected, Lu Yun had prepared his response beforehand, and was ready to attribute all his successes to his innate talent if anyone asked.

Such an answer yielded safety, and now that his innate talent had risen, becoming a Level 5 talent, he was, technically, not lying.

“Seems like Xiaoyun’s innate talent is truly amazing. It’s a pity that we don’t have the means to examine innate talents here, otherwise we would have known what level of innate talent you possess.” Lu Cangsheng expressed slight regret, but it faded soon. Whenever he thought about the fact that Lu Yun had become a martial artist with just three months of training, his expectations for Lu Yun’s future would magnify.

Lu Liangpeng and Lu Tianhu, standing not far from them, looked at Lu Yun with complex emotions in their eyes.

In the past, they were the most outstanding individuals among the younger generation of Spirit Creek Village and never looked down on anyone else.

But now, they were still one step away from achieving the Great accomplishment in their third-class martial arts, and Lu Yun, on the other hand, had become a martial artist. This was, beyond doubt, a massive irony.

“Innate talent?” Lu Yun rejoiced in his heart. He originally intended to find an opportunity to inquire about innate talents. Now that the old village head had brought it up, he naturally wouldn’t miss the opportunity to ask.

“Village head grandpa, how can one detect their innate talent, and how can one determine whether their innate talent is good or bad?”

Old Village Head Lu Cangsheng paused for a while before slowly saying, “To test innate talents, you’d either need a specialized tool or an extremely high martial arts cultivation realm. You’ll find out once you participate in the Martial Academy assessments.”

“Innate talents range from one-star to nine-star. One-star denotes the poorest innate talent, those individuals can barely achieve to become a martial artist in their lifetime, while those with nine-star innate talent are the best. Once found, these individuals will be highly sought after by numerous top-ranked sects and formidable forces.”

“However, I have never seen a nine-star innate talent, and I have no idea what kind of character they could be.”

Old Village Head Lu Cangsheng subconsciously showed a look of yearning.

“Village head grandpa, how many stars do you have?”

At this moment, Lu Tianhu suddenly asked.

“Haha, let’s not talk about it, let’s not talk about it!” Lu Cangsheng obviously didn’t want to dwell on this topic.

“Tianhu, Liangpeng, you both should return and fully absorb the gains from today’s medicinal bath to achieve the Great accomplishment. As for Xiaoyun, since you’ve already become a martial artist and wish to further increase your strength, you’ll need to learn a new martial art. I’ll accompany you to the village’s Talent Building for you to choose an appropriate martial art.” Lu Cangsheng rose and headed outside.

Lu Yun was immediately delighted as he currently lacked a subsequent martial art, and he had only practiced the Breaking Wind Saber Technique so far, thus his defensive capabilities were deficient.

In addition, he lacked a proper sword, which resulted in compromises on his strength. Now that he had an opportunity to select a new martial art, he was naturally ecstatic.

Talent Building is actually an isolated two-story pagoda located in Lu Cangsheng’s backyard, it wasn’t guarded by anyone.

With Lu Cangsheng, the first martial artist of Spirit Creek Village, there was no need for anyone to keep watch.

“The first floor is full of some third-class and unsuccessful martial arts mainly used for laying the foundation, such as the Breaking Wind Saber Technique, Fierce Tiger Fist, and so on. Since you are already an Enter Martial Realm practitioner, you don’t need to look at these martial arts. I will take you directly to the second floor.” Lu Cangsheng took Lu Yun and walked up the staircase.

The second floor of the Talent Building only had a large room, where two rows of bookshelves were arranged. One of the bookshelves was empty while the other bookshelf held a dozen or so booklets scattered sparsely.

Lu Cangsheng walked forward and skillfully pulled out three booklets from the shelves, laying them on the table, “These three are all second-class martial arts. Any one of them can help you pass through the Enter Martial Realm stage and advance to the next Martial Arts Realm, the Meridian Passage Realm.”

Lu Yun picked up the booklets and immediately began flipping them open.

The Bullish Strength, can refine bones and flesh, achieving perfection gives you strength worth a thousand pounds, and provides strong explosive power when facing enemies.

Body Enhancement Training, refining your body, laying down the basic martial arts. Upon perfection, your physical body will automatically open the first meridian, giving birth to True Qi.

Mix Origin Technique, primarily develops physical potential, providing a comprehensive enhancement of physical strength, speed, stamina. It is a steady type of martial art, but its disadvantage is that it is high-difficulty and relatively slow to improve.

After having glanced over all three martial arts books, Lu Cangsheng laughed, “Of all the martial arts in the Talent Building, these are the three most advanced, how about it, which one are you favoring?”

“Village head grandpa, can I choose all three?” Lu Yun scratched his head in embarrassment.

“You rascal.” Lu Cangsheng chided jokingly, “Even though your talent is quite good, you must understand that a person’s energy is limited, being able to achieve perfection in any one of them would be quite an achievement.”

“Moreover, these three martial arts have different ways to reach the same result, even if you could ensure that all three are practiced to perfection in a short time, it will not contribute greatly to your strength growth, it will only be a waste of time.”

“Ah, I see!” After hearing this, Lu Yun understood and further asked, “Village head grandpa, if I practice the Body Enhancement Training to perfection, not only will my physical strength increase greatly, but my meridians will also open and True Qi will spontaneously form. Does it mean that among these three martial arts, Body Enhancement Training is the strongest?”

Lu Cangsheng first shook his head, then nodded, leaving Lu Yun in confusion.

After a long pause, Lu Cangsheng explained, “The Enter Martial Realm can be considered as a foundational stage where the body is continuously refined and the flesh tempered to increase physique, enhance Qi and Blood, laying the foundation for the subsequent opening of meridians, and the condensation of True Qi.”

“Body Enhancement Training indeed can help you to open the meridians in advance and give birth to True Qi, but the methods of enhancing Qi and Blood as well as promoting bodily potential are quite overbearing, and relatively speaking, it’s not as good as Bullish Strength.”

“If you had mediocre innate talent, Body Enhancement Training would be a good choice as it would help you advance into Meridian Passage Realm more easily.”

“But since you have extraordinary martial arts talent and a high chance of entering the Martial Academy, I would recommend you to choose the Mix Origin Technique. It is comparatively balanced and can enhance all aspects without any glaring weaknesses compared with other martial arts.”

“Is that so…”

Having heard this, Lu Yun made up his mind.

“Village head grandpa, then I’ll choose the Mix Origin Technique!”

“You’ve got potential!” Seeing Lu Yun made the right choice, a smile appeared on Lu Cangsheng’s old face. His wrinkled face was like a blooming chrysanthemum.

“The second-class martial arts like this one are few and far between in the village. Memorize the contents inside as soon as possible, and then return it.” As he handed the Mix Origin Technique to Lu Yun, Lu Cangsheng wore an extremely serious expression.

Lu Yun nodded. Holding the obtained booklet tightly, he didn’t need Lu Cangsheng to explain the importance of the martial art enclosed within.

After all, the entire Talent Building only housed a dozen or so second-class martial arts. These were the most precious resources of Spirit Creek Village.
