Martial Arts

Bobby was extremely excited to have such a big selection of martial arts and couldn't help but laugh with his head raised. It took him a long time to calm down by com at Belmont. In the Cloud Country, a middle-ranked martial art skill was worth a couple hundred silver, but the money Bobby received per month was only ten silver. Of course, he couldn't take the facility skills out and seldom; if he did that, he would get punished. They would cancel his membership and then kick him out. Bobby took a hundred books out from the martial arts library. Most of them were high class, and all of them had at least a past person train it so he could use their experience. However, to choose a few martial arts skills from among these books wasn't easy. It was good that all of these books were fully imprinted in his mind because he only needed one thought to compare them against one another and choose the one most suitable for him. A single martial art could increase his strength, with the combination of many martial arts.

He could only help his skill set while Bobby only used half an hour to choose the skills from the hundred books. They were Lightly Floating Fairy, Angry Dragon Fist, Air Pushing Breathing Technique, and Continuous Meteorite Arrows. Lightly Floating Fairy was definitely the highest rank skill out of all of them, and Bobby had a high chance of solving the missing words. After that came Angry Dragon Fist and Air Pushing Breathing Technique; these skills also complemented one another. Angry Dragon Fist was one of the peak books of the middle rank, and the damage dealt by it was high. It compressed one's strength into one strike, and the power was so incredible that it was stronger than some of the high-ranked martial arts. Bobby had high expectations for Angry Dragon Fist because it increased one's physical strength. Strong body strength was the foundation and minimum requirements for developing Qi. Qi was something that made someone a true martial artist.

Air Pushing Breathing Technique was also a peak middle-rank martial art. It developed one's body strength, blood, and body. When trained to a high level, there is a chance to understand Qi. Angry Dragon Fist and Air Pushing Breathing Technique work perfectly well together, and when used together, the power of it is at least compared to high-ranked martial arts, and there is an increased chance to understand the concept of inner strength. Bobby thought to himself as he felt immensely overjoyed. As for the last skill, Continuous Meteorite Arrows, it was also close to high rank. Why did he choose an arrow skill? This was because it worked well with Bobby's left eye. "If I did not learn an arrow skill, then I'd be sorry for my left eye," Bobby said as he had a smile curl upon his lips. It could be imagined with his left eye abilities he'd be a natural, godly archer.

And if he perfected the arrow skill, it would be a great advantage for him. After choosing martial arts skills, Bobby started to practice. He first started with the Air Pushing Breathing Technique as a strong body and a good blood flow was the foundation of being a good fighter. The stronger one's body was, the damage from the Angry Dragon Fist, and close combat would be stronger.

Closing his eyes, Bobby's mind entered the contents of the Air Pushing Breathing Technique. A while later, his body's blood started to move slowly. "This is easy," as he felt shocked to be able to perform it with so much ease. According to the contents of the Air Pushing Breathing Technique, most people that could move their blood needed at least four to five days or even up to fifteen days. "Could it be the homogeneous?" Bobby thought of it and then disagreed with himself. Because if he was a genius, then it wouldn't have been so hard for him to break into the second level in the first place.

He realized that after merging with his mysterious left eye, his mind's energy had increased. His reaction speed, understanding, and analyzing speed all now exceeded that of normal people. When he was learning the Air Pushing Breathing Technique, he could feel his left eye being exerted. At the same time, in the pitch-black dimension, the 67-centimeter radius of the faint green light was spinning at an increased rate.

Half a day later, Bobby had trained the Air Pushing Breathing Technique to the first level, and his body gave off a faintly disgusting smell of sweat. He felt that his body's strength had become stronger by at least thirty percent. "I didn't," Bobby thought as he felt somewhat incredulous. The Air Pushing Breathing Technique was divided into three levels, and once one trained to the peak of the third level, there was a chance to comprehend Qi. After another half day, Bobby had already trained the Air Pushing Breathing Technique to the peak of the first level. But when the speed started slowing down, he changed his mind and started training Angry Dragon Fist, which paired up with the Air Pushing Breathing Technique. As expected, with the foundation of the Air Pushing Breathing Technique, the speed of learning Angry Dragon Fist was very fast. In only half a day's time, Bobby learned all of the 81 moves to a beginner level. Angry Dragon Fist had extreme power, especially when used with the Air Pushing Breathing Technique; the explosive strength was incredible. The most surprising part was that after learning Angry Dragon Fist, the Air Pushing Breathing Technique broke through to the second level and even went a bit further. The two skills accompanying each other had an incredible effect. "No wonder they're perfect for each other," Bobby laughed and said to himself. For the next five days, Bobby kept on learning Angry Dragon Fist and Air Pushing Breathing Technique, training himself to learn both skills at an incredible speed. At this time, Bobby's skill level was close to the peak of the third rank of the Martial Path.

"Just a bit longer and I can reach the peak of the second rank. Then the third rank won't be far away either," Bobby was full of expectations. The next day, Bobby left home and headed towards the training ground.

This was because the art form of the Lightly Floating Ferry and Continuous Meteorite Arrows needed open space to practice. Soon Bobby arrived in a corner of the field where they practiced with bows and arrows. An arrow left an afterimage in the air and shot straight into the center of a target fifty meters away. "Great arrow skill. It's no wonder that brother Andy is one of the center's top three godly archers. The arrow could probably break straight through the defense of a third rank and even kill muscular wild beasts," excited shouting came from the side. "Formidable," Bobby exclaimed. He knew that the boy named Andy was famous for being a godly archer in the sect. Andy pulled the string and shot out five arrows at lightning speed, which formed a ring around the bullseye. The students around started cheering. Bobby didn't pay any more attention because he felt that if he tried, he could also become a godly archer. He went to an open space and picked up a random bow. He then squinted his eyes as if he was aiming. As soon as he picked up the bow, the students around the field focused on him. "Look, who's that? He looks new."

"This kid is called Bobby, and he came from a recruitment branch half a year ago. Not long ago, I heard that he offended Peter. Imagine offending the one who was ranked third among us. Also heard that even his girl left him," someone who recognized Bobby said. "Town recruit, you say? Let's take a bet, see how many targets he hits," a few disciples looked mockingly at Bobby. "Arrow skills need talent and integrity; it's not something anyone who wants to learn can learn," Andy arrogantly said as he looked down on him. Bobby did not bother with these people. He barely used his left eye, and the target fifty meters away in his vision became bigger and bigger. The arrow's string trembled, and the arrow flew through the air, barely landing on the target, but then fell off onto the ground. Bobby started sweating as this was his first time using a bow. The students around the field raised their heads and laughed. Bobby was calm; missing on the first arrow was normal. Next, he used more energy on his left hand and merged the Continuous Meteorite Arrow skill into his heart.

The second arrow went straight to the target and was wandering away from the bullseye. "Ninth ring," the field turned silent. Those that were laughing had their faces freeze, even Andy's brow furrowed. "Ninth ring, this was very close to the center, to shoot from fifty meters away and hit was good for even some of the older archers. Luck, this must be luck."

"You're right, a beginner cannot shoot this accurately. His first arrow did not even hit the target," the students watching started laughing again and looked at Bobby. However, just before they finished their words, the third arrow shot through the air. The arrow shot out like lightning and hit the target dead center. The field turned silent once more, even Andy was shocked; they all had confused faces and stood there frozen. "My luck is not that bad, I guess, isn't it?" Bobby said as he gave a little smile as he turned towards the crowd watching. "Luck? What's up with this guy?" Most of the archers had queer faces on; any archer was a beginner from the start, however, it was their first time seeing someone with such luck.

"Kid, take another shot," a few students said unwillingly. "Yes, take another shot." Bobby wanted to leave, but these people were unwilling to let him leave. There were a few students that were green belts, and most here were older than them. This was his chance to impress a few of them and show them what he could do. "Fine," Bobby shrugged his shoulders and picked up the bow again.
