We're practicing all martial arts, so why did you switch to easy mode?

Chapter 16: The First Ultimate Martial Art, Greatly Increasing Strength
[Easy Mode Activated: Swing your sword fifty times to master the Wild Wave Sword Technique.]

After recharging, the easy mode of the Wild Wave Blade Technique will be available.

However, Su Chen did not practice immediately, but instead focused his attention on the panel:
【Wild Wave Sword Technique 0 times (5 taels of silver/time)】

Seeing the displayed amount, Su Chen felt relieved.

"The amount is about the same as that of Iron Wire Fist and Iron Sand Palm, so the next amount should be ten taels."

A quarter of an hour later, he had mastered the Wild Waves Blade Technique.

Su Chen recharged again, and as he expected, the amount required to unlock the easy mode of the Wild Wave Blade Technique next time was ten taels.

Without hesitation, he practiced, recharged his account, and directly maxed out the Wild Waves Blade Technique.

Until the panel displays:
[Wild Wave Sword Technique 0 times (10 taels of gold/time)]

"Too fast, and too easy!"

Seeing this, Su Chen couldn't help but sigh. He had to admit that the panel was indeed very helpful in terms of cultivation.

A martial art like the Wild Waves Saber Technique might not be perfected without several years of dedicated practice.

However, he managed to get it to perfection within just one hour.

From a complete novice in swordsmanship, he suddenly became a master swordsman, and his experience in swordsmanship improved by leaps and bounds.

"I've activated the easy mode three times, which only cost sixteen taels in total. I still have one hundred and fifty-four taels left, that's enough. Let's keep spending money!"

He silently recited it in his mind, but this time, to Su Chen's surprise, the panel did not respond to him.

He stared at the unchanged panel, puzzled for a moment, but then it dawned on him:
"Does this recharge only allow gold, and not silver?"

The panel showed ten taels of gold, not ten taels of silver, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

To verify his idea, Su Chen had no choice but to go to the money exchange and exchange one hundred taels of silver for ten taels of gold, after deducting a one-tael handling fee.

Back home, he couldn't wait to top up his account, and this time, the interface responded.

[Easy Mode Activated: Swing your sword 500 times to master the Wild Wave Sword Technique.]

Upon seeing this, a smile appeared on Su Chen's face. It seemed that his guess was correct.

Next, Su Chen swung his sword in the courtyard, making five hundred swings, which took about half an hour.

As he finished his final swing of the sword, Su Chen was jolted.

His understanding of the Wild Waves Blade Technique was incredibly profound, and all eighteen moves became second nature to him.

"I'm afraid even Liu Tong himself hasn't been able to cultivate the Wild Waves Blade Technique to its limit!"

After unleashing a series of combos, Su Chen was drenched in sweat, but his expression was one of extreme joy.

Having mastered the Wild Waves Blade Technique to its limit, Su Chen recalled his previous duel with Liu Tong and quickly determined Liu Tong's skill level.

Compared to him now, the other party is probably a few years behind in terms of experience.

Of course, this is assuming Liu Tong has talent. Without talent, it would probably take him more than ten years to hone his skills.

"No wonder the Ape Arm Skill is used as an aid. Although the Wild Wave Blade Technique is powerful, it is very damaging to the arms. If you have not specifically trained your arms, I'm afraid your arms will not be able to support you after using it for a while."

Feeling the tearing sensation in his arm, Su Chen seemed to be deep in thought.

I thought the panel would eliminate the drawbacks of the Wild Waves Blade Technique, but now it seems it only exempts you from the cost of cultivation.

Once mastered, if Su Chen wanted to use it for a long time, he would have to cultivate the Ape Arm Technique.

"Fortunately, I still have more than fifty taels of silver, enough to cultivate the Ape Arm Skill to perfection."

Thinking of this, Su Chen looked at the panel. Just as he was about to spend money on the Ape Arm Technique, his expression suddenly froze.

[...Raging Waves Blade Technique (Limit)]

[...Raging Waves Blade Technique 0 times (any complete blade technique/school)]

Then, his face lit up with joy: "Could it be that as long as I collect a complete sword technique, the Wild Wave Sword Technique can continue to operate in easy mode?"

He was somewhat stunned, having thought that the Wild Waves Blade Technique had reached its limit and could no longer be improved.

The panel gave me a huge surprise. If I collect just one more sword technique, the Wild Wave Sword Technique will unlock its easy mode.

"Wait, we can't be too happy yet. It just means we've activated easy mode; it doesn't necessarily mean we'll get an upgrade."

Even so, Su Chen had already decided to see if he could find a sword technique to try it out.

After a moment, Su Chen silently said, "Panel, directly activate the Ape Arm Skill in easy mode three times."

After waiting for a while, the panel did not respond. Su Chen smiled wryly: "Okay, it seems that the panel is not smart at all. Let's just follow the steps."

The practice of the Ape Arm Skill is not difficult; it involves swinging the arms, with the number of repetitions in each stage being similar to swinging a knife.

An hour later, Su Chen had perfected the Ape Arm Skill.

He rolled up his sleeves and looked at his arms.

Although there was no apparent change, he could clearly feel that the defense of his arms had increased by at least three times compared to before.

In addition, the strength in his arms seemed to have increased significantly.

He picked up the steel knife and practiced the Wild Waves Knife Technique in the courtyard. After practicing, he felt no sensation in his arms.

Gululu.

After cultivating for two hours straight, Su Chen's stomach was already rumbling with hunger.

"There are only thirty-odd taels of silver left!"

Looking at his meager silver coins, Su Chen sighed slightly. Spending money on in-game purchases is a waste of silver!
"Fine, let's have a good meal tonight!"

Without hesitation, Su Chen washed up, changed into clean clothes, and then walked out of the courtyard.

He chose a restaurant with good food and drinks, and after eating and drinking his fill, Su Chen went home.

As the sun sets behind the western mountains, the entire city seems to be draped in a golden veil, easing the day's busyness for everyone.

"Senior Brother Li Mo?"

Before Su Chen even reached his doorstep, he saw Li Mo walking towards him. Li Mo was very happy to see Su Chen.

"Junior Brother Su Chen, you're such a busy person! I've been waiting for you for days, and I'm only just getting to see you today."

But that smile quickly faded, and he looked at Su Chen with a hint of resentment in his eyes.

Su Chen then remembered that he had stood Li Mo up once before, so he chuckled awkwardly.

"Senior Brother Li Mo, is there something important you need to discuss with me?" Su Chen asked.

Li Mo said quietly, "If I don't look for you, will you stop going to the martial arts gym?"

“Uh…” Su Chen didn’t know how to respond.

Seeing him like this, Li Mo sighed:
"Su Chen, if you have nothing to do, you might as well visit the martial arts school more often."

Our martial arts school provides you with appropriate herbal remedies to help stabilize your blood pressure more quickly.

Qin Hao was able to stabilize his blood flow in such a short time and gain his master's favor because he drank blood-nourishing medicine several times.

Moreover, practicing boxing techniques cannot be done by simply practicing hard; it also requires sparring to improve combat skills.

Okay, starting tomorrow, you'll go to the martial arts gym, and I'll spar with you.

After saying that, Li Mo looked at Su Chen and, seeing that he seemed somewhat unwilling, asked, "What's wrong? You don't want to?"

Upon hearing this, Su Chen opened his mouth, then sighed inwardly.

This senior brother Li Mo has been taking good care of him ever since the two of them had a meal together last time.

He really doesn't need to go to the martial arts school anymore!
Faced with the kind-hearted Li Mo, Su Chen couldn't simply refuse him outright.

Since that's the case, I'm not going to pretend anymore, I'm laying my cards on the table.

So Su Chen stretched out his hand, rolled up his sleeve, and placed it in front of Li Mo: "Senior brother, look!"
