Theon Airikson: From Zero To... Something

Martial Arts almost never utilize Qi in any way or form, however at higher levels the Qi in a martial artist body and in the environment would respond to whatever skill they use. But I won't just be picking a martial art, I would need to cover all of my bases by also picking up a Qigong movement technique, a spell, and maybe I'd learn a skill later, once everything around me has calmed down a bit.

But even with all of my knowledge and all of the viable choices I had made when the hope or dream of cultivating was all that I could live with or achieve, I'm still very unsure of what sort of abilities to pick. There wasn't much here to be honest, just a scant few, but it would be enough to outfit any local force and make them a cultivation family with a storied history. There are three martial arts and spells, one Qigong technique, and almost a dozen skill books available. For the movement technique there was only the one choice, but the spell and martial art had me stumped, I wasn't aiming for just a quick boost to power, I wanted techniques that I could use for a long time in tandem with my growing power, I so did not have the strength to go around looking for techniques should the need arise for it.

MARTIAL ARTS:

·        OSCILLATING SOUND FIST: Learn Oscillating Sound Fist?(Y/N) imbue fist strikes with wind vibrations that stacks damage by an increment of 25% of total power for each stack for a maximum of 5 stacks! Increases Movement and Attack Speed by 15% When In Use

QIGONG:

·        SERENE WIND WALTZ: Learn Serene Wind Waltz?(Y/N) a type of noble dance that gives one connection with the wind, increasing evasiveness by 55% movement speed by 45%, and attack speed by 10%. Cost 5 Qi Per Second

Each technique offered here had their own advantages and weaknesses. But now I had to choose what I wanted or could use by process of elimination. Sometimes it's not always best to have plethora of techniques at your disposal, the ultimate mastery and improvement of one, would make you specialized, especially when you have techniques that would shore up your defenses. Of all the techniques here, I'd probably be discarding the waltz once I get a good enough Qigong technique, perhaps once I build a scripture pavilion and level it up accordingly. I should probably also induct the monkeys as disciples, that would raise eyebrows but at least it would cover a lot of bases for me.

Either way as far as martial arts go, the Oscillating Sound Fist was the better of all my options, plus I did not have a sabre lying around here, so the Wind Cutting Sabre was automatically eliminated from the running. Besides as indecisive as I might about what to chooses I like the idea of hitting someone six times for the price of one, and every subsequent hit is more powerful than the last. As for the spells the choice here was the hardest, the one with the most damage was the Wind cutter spell, the one with the most covered area of damage was the wind hammer; it would even let me attack multiple people. Then the one with the most range was the wind bullet spell. And that was what I was leaning to. Besides I had enough surplus Qi to level a lot of things, including my stats and the techniques, I would be consolidated and would probably be strong enough tomorrow, it would take some time for me fully master the techniques and make them my own.

So my choices were made, I couldn't help the somewhat evil chuckle as multiple streams of Qi moved into my head from the scrolls and book on my bed, knowledge of how to circulate Qi, move my body and manipulate the Qi saturated in my muscles and within my blood. How to dance like some pompous fool, but still capable of utilizing those moves to evade the worst of strikes like a gentleman. I had power and now I finally had a way to utilize it,  for now, this was as ready as I could possibly be, I've moved from a big fat 0 to… well to something at least, gods know I'm no hero.
