Insight Amulet

To enhance the disciples' strength, it's crucial that they possess not only martial prowess but also a wealth of martial knowledge, enabling them to provide guidance during the cultivation process. This principle extends beyond martial arts; even families and schools have dedicated martial arts instructors.

The leader of the Solid Strike faction, in his attempt to influence Li Qingyang's future, threatened to determine whether his achievements would be great or modest. The elders of the Azure Mountain faction felt compelled to intervene and inquire about Wang Jun's martial arts experience.

It's clear that they were setting a trap. If Wang Jun had admitted to having martial arts experience, he would have likely been bombarded with requests for guidance. Conversely, if he had denied having such experience, the owner of the Li family would have been even more incensed, pressuring his son to withdraw from the Solid Strike faction.

Experience has taught Wang Jun to be cautious. The seemingly harmonious words held hidden dangers, deliberately intended to embarrass him. The martial artists from various factions expressed their disdain, believing that a leader without martial arts experience couldn't possibly possess any.

In the face of this skepticism, Wang Jun often smiled and lightly touched his nose, saying, "I don't dare to boast, nor do I wish to appear arrogant. When it comes to martial arts experience, I believe I have more than anyone present."

"The more this guy boasts, the more hot air he spews!" 

"If it weren't for the ban on fighting in Azure Sun City, I'd be tempted to kick him myself!"

"I feel the same way!"

The martial artists from various factions couldn't bear to listen any longer. They swore that since they began practicing martial arts, they had never encountered someone so infuriating and nonsensical!

"'Better than anyone present,' huh?"

The master of the Li family declared firmly, "Today, the leader of the Li family must discuss his martial arts experience!"

The elders from the Azure Mountain faction simply smiled without uttering a word. This was precisely the question they had intended to ask, and now that the owner of the Li family had raised it, it seemed most appropriate.

Wang Jun often smiled and responded, "What does the Li family wish to know?"

Despite his calm appearance, he was secretly searching the system mall for martial arts-related products. He hadn't been in this world for very long, and his martial arts level was only at the fifth stage. He certainly didn't possess any martial arts experience!

At this moment, Wang Jun had to pin his hopes on the robust martial arts system, fervently wishing that the mall contained martial arts-related items.

The owner of the Li family continued indifferently, "In Azure Sun City, there's a legendary swordsmanship known as the 'Nine-style Folding Wave Sword.' It's said to consist of nine forms, but in reality, only eight have been passed down."

The tension in the martial arts confrontation continued to escalate as they delved into the discussion of martial arts experience and legendary techniques.

"Since Jun's esteemed head has martial arts experience, perhaps he can demonstrate the ninth style?"

Laughter erupted among the martial artists, and some chimed in, "Master Li, that should be enough!"

The martial artists from Azure Sun City were amused by this turn of events. The Nine-style Stacked Wave Sword was a well-known sword technique in the city. As long as someone had reached the fifth stage of Meridian opening stage, they could purchase it from various martial arts stores. The manual was quite clear; it contained nine styles of the Sword Technique, but only eight were recorded. The ninth style had to be developed by the practitioner.

For over a century, countless warriors had practiced the Nine-style Stacked Wave Sword, but no one had ever comprehended the ninth style from the beginning. There was a rumor that the master of Azure Sun City had reached the final form in his early years, but since he never demonstrated it, no one knew anything about the ninth form.

"The Nine-style Stacked Wave Sword?"

The elder from the Azure mountain faction muttered. He had heard of this sword technique and had considered purchasing the last form of evolution in the past, but upon learning that it was only of low grade, he had given up.

Martial arts and cultivation techniques in the starry continent were categorized into different grades, including low grade, common grade, medium grade, high grade, holy grade, and divine grade. To reach the pinnacle of martial arts mastery, the elder from Azure Mountain Sect had practiced martial arts skills of various grades, so he didn't look down on them.

He remarked, "If it were of high grade, how could it be a sword technique so widely practiced in Azure Sun City?"

Elder cangshan from the Azure Mountain faction wore a sly smile as he provocatively continued, "Jun, if you can understand the ninth style, it would indeed prove your skills."

This old man was quite a provocateur.

Wang Jun often smiled and responded arrogantly, "What's so difficult about mastering a sword technique like this?"

His words were met with sneers. Few had achieved enlightenment in the past century. If he could do it on his own, he would truly be an exceptional talent.

Li Qingyang looked on with anticipation. He, too, practiced the Nine-style Stacked Wave Sword but had been stuck on the eighth style and couldn't fathom the ninth style.

Under the scrutinizing gazes of everyone, Wang Jun frantically scrolled through the junior mall, desperately searching for items related to swordsmanship, but his search proved fruitless. Panic began to set in. Without the necessary item, how could he pretend to understand the Ninth Wave Sword? 

"Pooh, pooh! How am I supposed to evolve the Ninth Wave Sword without this product?"

Then, something caught his eye. Wang Jun suddenly stopped scrolling when he saw an item called the "Amulet of Insight" and eagerly opened its details.

This accidental discovery of the item details was a stroke of luck.

"Item: Amulet of Elementary Insight."

"Efficacy: After using it, you can gain insight into your opponent's martial arts and techniques."

"Duration: 60 minutes."

"Price: 10 contribution points."

"Quick comprehension?"

Wang Jun often smiled and remarked, "This should help me understand the Ninth Style of Sword Art!"

With a swift click, he purchased the Amulet of Insight.

"Ding!"

"The host has consumed 10 contribution points, obtained 1 Amulet of Insight, and it has been delivered to the space ring."

"Ding!"

"Martial contribution: 10/100."

Wang Jun often laughed and taunted, "Master Li, you claimed that the Nine-style Stacked Wave Sword has never been practiced by you. How do you plan me to evolve its ninth style?"

The onlookers burst into laughter. "Hahaha, the best-selling sword technique in Azure Sun City, and the head has never practiced it!"

"Even though the Nine-style Stacked Wave Sword is of low quality, it still costs one hundred and two contribution points. He probably can't afford it with his meager resources."

"Make sense, make sense!"

"Absolutely, this kind of swordsmanship requires gradual realization. When he finally evolves the ninth form, it might be in the distant future."

Whispers of agreement spread among the crowd as Li's expression darkened once again.

At that moment, Li felt like he was being played for a fool by this guy. His anger simmered beneath the surface as he put on a strained smile and said, "Very well, Li happens to have a copy of the Nine-style Folding Wave Sword with him. Wang Jun's head can take it for study."

With that, he retrieved a blue leather manual from his space ring and handed it over. Wang Jun smiled and accepted it, saying, "Thank you."

However, Li added a condition, his smile devoid of warmth, "But I must make it clear, if Sect head fails to comprehend the ninth form, please expel my son from Solid Strike Sect."

If my son won't leave voluntarily, then I'll make sure he does!

Li firmly believed that a person who hadn't practiced the Nine-style Folding Sword, let alone grasped the ninth style, would find it challenging even to understand the fifth or sixth style.

"No problem," Wang Jun often smiled and readily agreed.

The owner of the Li family still seemed uneasy and said, "Sect head, your word is your bond."

"Don't worry,"

  Wang Jun often laughed, "The Solid Strike Sect are committed to their cause. We won't break our word."

Satisfied with the response, the owner Li tossed the sword manual to him. With so many martial artists present at the recruitment event, he didn't think the other party would dare to cheat.

"Of course," Wang Jun often took the sword manual with a smile and asked, "But what if I manage to comprehend the ninth style of swordsmanship?"

In the past century, only the city owner was rumored to have achieved it. Did this newcomer really think he could succeed?

The owner of the Li family sneered inwardly, responding arrogantly, "If the head can truly master the ninth style of swordsmanship, then my son Qingyang would consider it a blessing to practice within the Solid Strike School."

With this assurance, Wang Jun felt more at ease.

He took a deep breath, then began to flip through the sword manual. As he examined the intricate formulas and the sword techniques illustrated within, he suddenly felt overwhelmed. Despite inheriting the memories of the original owner and having some knowledge of martial arts manuals, seeing such a complex sword manual for the first time was like trying to decipher a heavenly scripture.

"The Amulet of Insight should help me grasp this sword technique quickly," Wang Jun often smiled and thought to himself, invoking the spell to integrate the amulet into the ring.

A moment later, an invisible energy flowed into his mind through the ring. Wang Jun often felt a momentary dizziness, and the initial complexity of the manual seemed to fade away. When he returned to his senses, he found that the formulas and sword techniques in the manual were now simple and easy to understand.
