"Time flies. I've unknowingly been in this world for a year!"
Zhang Xuan suppressed his wandering thoughts and whispered.
Although he did not know much about this world, he was filled with hope for the future.
This confidence came from the system.
With a thought, a virtual interface appeared in Zhang Xuan's mind.
This interface was very simple. There were only a few messages.
[Host: Zhang Xuan]
[Cultivation Technique: Martial Ancestor Long Fist]
[Points: 0]
This system was awakened after Zhang Xuan joined the Escort Agency and started learning martial arts.
The system did not have many functions, but it was very suitable for Zhang Xuan, who had transmigrated to a martial arts world.
As long as he practiced martial arts, he could obtain one point from the system every year, and points could be used to deduce cultivation techniques.
To put it bluntly, the so-called deduction cultivation technique did not need him to cultivate it. The points obtained from the system could help him complete his cultivation and save time.
It could be said that no matter how peerless a genius was, he or she paled in front of the system.
It had been a year since the decision on the system. Zhang Xuan was about to receive his first point. This was also what he looked forward to the most.
Although Zhang Xuan had become very calm after a year of experience, he was still looking forward to the point he was about to obtain.
However, Zhang Xuan still looked the same as usual and did not show any emotions.
After dinner as usual, Zhang Xuan quietly came outside after everyone else had rested.
The wait was always long. Even the usually calm Zhang Xuan could not maintain his composure.
When midnight arrived, Zhang Xuan, who had been staring at the system interface, smiled.
[Host: Zhang Xuan]
[Cultivation Technique: Martial Ancestor Long Fist]
[Points: 1]
The point that Zhang Xuan was looking forward to the most had arrived. This made him very excited.
After all, this was a world where martial arts were respected, and the strength of martial arts determined the height one could stand at in this world.
The points obtained from the system could be used to deduce cultivation techniques. It could allow Zhang Xuan to improve himself in a shorter period of time. How could he not be excited?
"It's been a year. I can finally deduce cultivation techniques!"
Zhang Xuan let out a shaky breath. After calming down, he used his points to deduce the Martial Ancestor Long Fist.
The Martial Ancestor Long Fist was the only martial art that Zhang Xuan cultivated at the moment.
Although the Martial Ancestor Long Fist was the most basic martial art and Zhang Xuan could only cultivate the Martial Ancestor Long Fist at the moment, he could obtain one point every year. Zhang Xuan did not feel that it was a waste.
Only by strengthening himself would he have more chances to obtain stronger cultivation techniques.
With a thought from Zhang Xuan, the points on the system interface disappeared, and the Martial Ancestor Long Fist circulated on its own.
Although Zhang Xuan had persisted in practicing the Martial Ancestor Long Fist for a year, he had only cultivated it to the second level.
It could be seen how difficult it was to improve by relying on one's own hard work.
This was also the reason why almost no one could reach the 13th level!
Even if Zhang Xuan had an endless lifespan and had the chance to reach the 13th level with time, it was unknown how long it would take.
But it was different now!
The points obtained from the system almost instantly deduced the Martial Ancestor Long Fist to the 13th level.
Moreover, all his insights were fused into Zhang Xuan's body at the same time as the deduction was completed.
"Crack crack…"
A violent power flowed through Zhang Xuan's eight extraordinary meridians and refined his body. A series of crackling sounds like firecrackers sounded in his body.
Zhang Xuan hurriedly composed himself and guided the power in his body to complete the Heavenly Cycle.
The aura around his body also soared crazily. He directly rose from an unproficient practitioner to a second-rate expert. Only then did the violent power that washed through his eight extraordinary meridians disappear.
Mortal martial arts were roughly divided into three proficiency, second-rate, first-rate, Connate, Grandmaster and Great Grandmaster.
Although second-rate experts looked ordinary, they had already surpassed most people in a place like Lin'an City.
A second-rate expert in the Dragon Gate Escort Agency, an overlord of Lin'an City, was comparable to the escort leaders.
The status of the escort agency was divided according to strength. The strongest was naturally the first-rate expert, chief escort He Yushan. Below the chief escort was the second-rate experts, the escort leaders and below the escort leader was the third-rate experts, the escorts.
Although there were nearly 100 escorts in the entire Dragon Gate Escort Agency, apart from the first-rate expert He Yushan, there were less than 10 second-rate experts' escort leaders.
With Zhang Xuan's current strength, he could directly become the escort leader of the escort agency.
However, Zhang Xuan was not prepared to expose his strength. Instead, he chose to keep a low profile.
After all, second-rate experts only had some ability to protect themselves in a small place like Lin'an City. They were still not worth mentioning in the Great Zhou Empire.
As for getting rid of his status as a long-term worker and becoming the envied escort leader of countless people, Zhang Xuan did not have this thought at all.
This year's experience had long made Zhang Xuan indifferent to everything. Apart from obtaining some material enjoyment from his false reputation, it was not very helpful for him to see this exciting world.
His horizons were different from others. His thoughts were not what others could imagine, so he would not let others know his trump cards for material enjoyment and some false reputation.
Zhang Xuan, who had undergone a transformation from the inside out, could not help but want to see how much his strength had increased. He threw a punch.
"Phew… Bang!"
The wind from the punch whistled, and the air seemed to explode.
This punch landed on a tree trunk as thick as an adult's trunk. The tree shook violently, as if it would break at any moment.
When Zhang Xuan retracted his fist, the fist mark pierced into the wood. With the fist mark as the center, the tree trunk was covered in cracks like spiderwebs.
"So, this is a second-rate expert?"
Zhang Xuan nodded in satisfaction. He was in a good mood.
Previously, he could only leave a faint fist mark on the tree trunk with his full strength.
And now, a casual punch without even using half of his strength could leave a fist mark that was deeply embedded. It was enough to show how much his improvement was.
The difference between an unproficient practitioner and a second-rate expert was like the difference between heaven and earth.
"The effect of the points is also very strong. I deduced all 13 levels of the Martial Ancestor Long Fist with just one point and I still seem to have some strength left."
Unfortunately, the Martial Ancestor Long Fist was only a basic martial art after all. There was no follow-up.
If there were better martial arts, the effect should be more obvious.
Unfortunately, with his current identity, he could only come into contact with the common Martial Ancestor Long Fist.
However, Zhang Xuan was not disappointed. He was already very satisfied with being promoted from an unproficient practitioner to a second-rate expert.
If he had not obtained points from the system to deduce the Martial Ancestor Long Fist, he would not know when he would be able to advance to a second-rate expert if he relied on himself to practice.
Furthermore, he had an advantage that no one else had—an endless lifespan!
Coupled with the existence of the system, it was only a matter of time before he became a powerhouse.
Zhang Xuan, who was in a good mood, did not think too much about it. He turned around and returned to his room to rest.
