Liver into a martial arts legend: starting with Embroidered Spring Blade

Chapter 44 briefly talks about the martial arts settings, please read it!
Because there is not a simple division of levels between innate and acquired, the level settings are not written according to the level at the beginning. I will briefly talk about it here.

Warm reminder: The following only represents the setting of my book, which is a secondary setting. There is no need to use other books to force doubts. I will not respond to this type of doubts.

The core difference between acquired and innate is whether or not one has internal strength, and the upper limit of growth.

Having no internal strength means strengthening the body through external skills (such as body building, acupuncture point stimulation and different ways of exerting force, etc.), and then using various external skills such as knife and sword techniques to improve combat effectiveness.

The limit of most people in the acquired realm is the first-rate, and very few people can further cultivate "momentum". The first reason is the problem of talent and perseverance, and the second is the limitation of physical fitness and martial arts level.

Only basic external skills can develop "momentum" when one has no internal strength in the acquired realm. Second-rate and above martial arts have requirements on physical fitness, and one needs to use internal strength to fortify the body and break the physical limit before continuing to practice. This point has been written before.

Moreover, there are very few people in the world who can practice multiple martial arts to perfection in the acquired realm (this is also the advantage that the protagonist can be invincible at the same level and even defeat the innate).

The core symbol of innateness is to open up the meridians and cultivate internal strength.

As for the two methods of breaking through the innate, I have written about them before. You can either practice external skills to a certain level of 'internal energy' or directly practice internal skills.

However, there are some differences between the two methods of achieving innate strength. After all, one is the internal strength cultivated from the human body by developing human potential, and the other is the internal strength cultivated by breathing in and out to absorb the spiritual energy of the world and the essence of the sun and moon and other substances from the outside world. The specific differences will be gradually mentioned later as the plot progresses.

As for combat power, in the early stage, innate and acquired are mainly used to measure the attainments of external martial arts.

But the innate ones with deeper foundation will definitely be more powerful, and when the difference in external skills is not big, the innate masters will have more advantages in protracted battles.

However, this gap isn't too great. Under normal circumstances, if the difference in external skills isn't too great, a top-tier expert isn't much different from someone who's just reached the Xiantian realm. A mid-stage Xiantian can be a bit stronger than a top-tier expert thanks to their internal strength advantage, and a top-tier expert can rival a mid- to late-stage Xiantian. (Emphasis on "normal circumstances").
Only when one reaches the Grandmaster level will a qualitative change occur, but those with higher attainments in external skills will definitely have more advantages in combat effectiveness. This realm is too far away, so we will not discuss it for now.

Martial arts, external skills are "Wu" and internal energy cultivation is "Gong".

As for martial arts:

The strength of martial arts is measured by two factors: potential and power.

This is true for both internal and external skills.

For example, with external skills, a basic sword technique might only be able to achieve sword momentum, but with some advanced external skills, one can go from entry-level to artistic conception, becoming a top martial artist (although physical strength is also required). However, the protagonist has a system panel that can make up for these gaps, and quantitative changes can also lead to qualitative changes.

I am not deliberately giving away the plot, but mainly to avoid people thinking that I am deliberately suppressing the protagonist's realm after reading it. The protagonist is also unaware of this. Because I don't want to waste words by writing about being able to communicate with the system and ask questions anytime and anywhere, but to slowly unfold it according to the plot and the protagonist's cultivation process.

My current drafts have only just begun to reveal these doubts, but if you all know them in advance, it won't affect your subsequent reading. It will just give you a general understanding and you won't think of them as harmful points.

At this point, someone might ask, why not just give the protagonist a high-level internal skill? Why not just cultivate internal skills to become a congenital master?
One reason is to consider the rationality of the plot. If internal skills are so common, then all warriors in the world are innate masters. Precisely because internal skills are rare, most warriors who have no family background, no foundation, and no adventures start by practicing external skills.

Secondly, it is also for the plot. If the protagonist becomes a top master within a few chapters, then there is no need to add words to the plots of characters with lower combat power levels such as "Embroidered Spring Blade" and "Dragon Gate Inn".

Those who have read this far should be able to accept my setting. I hope you will be more patient and read it slowly. This book will not have any poisonous points such as abusing the protagonist, giving away the daughter, or being a saint. It will definitely be enjoyable from the beginning to the end.

Moreover, the new book has only been published for about 20 days, but I have already written more than 300,000 words, which means more than 10,000 words every day. I also made more than a dozen WPS documents for various plots and related settings before the book was published, and I am still constantly improving and revising them every day.

No matter what the performance of this book is, I will definitely finish it well. As long as I can keep updating the ending, a successful completion will be a victory.

I currently have 200,000 words and about 60 chapters in my manuscripts. I don’t know when they will be put on the shelves yet, but the longer they stay in the recommended position, the more time I will have to save manuscripts.

My current plan is to put 100 chapters on the shelves. I don’t know if I can save enough, but I will definitely have at least 80 chapters. In short, no matter how many I have saved, I will post them all at once on the day the book is put on the shelves, so that everyone can enjoy reading them all at once.

Moreover, in the later plots, as various settings gradually became more complete and the protagonist's status became higher and higher, I felt immersed in the story when I was writing it myself, and I felt that the story was better written than the previous one.

Therefore, I sincerely hope that everyone can follow the reading every day. If you have votes, please cast a few votes. You can also cast recommendation votes or monthly votes. If not, you can just leave some comments in the comment section to increase the popularity... Especially the follow-up reading in the next week, which is related to whether you can continue to be recommended by Sanjiang in the previous round.

After all, the better the data of the book is, the more passionate I will be in writing, and the more enjoyable everyone will be reading, right?
That’s all I have to say about the plot setting for now.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask in the comment section. As long as they are normal questions, I will seriously consider them and respond.

In the new week, I continue to ask for reading, voting, and comments...

I sincerely ask all the big guys to lend me a helping hand and help me reach the top. The little author here bows and kowtows three times to thank you!
