Taking Credit

Wang Jun often found joy in spending 10 contribution points to refresh the first-level mall. This was a valuable endeavor because it simplified the training of those at the Meridian opening stage.

However, there was more to the Yi Jin Jing Martial Arts than just its 50% success rate. It also enhanced muscle and bone strength, cleared the meridians, fortified the will, and toughened the physical body. At first glance, it seemed to focus on the physical and mental aspects.

With a frequent smile, Wang Jun secretly wondered, "The introduction mentioned that this is one of the two scriptures left behind by the Dharma master when he faced the wall. Could there still be another scripture?"

But as he scrolled down, he didn't find the term "washing pulp" at the end. Wang Jun, still smiling, shook his head and commented, "Refreshing a divine technique is already quite time-consuming. It's unlikely someone would have the energy to write another scripture simultaneously."

Then, a 'ding' sound interrupted his thoughts.

"The host fulfills the conditions and automatically activates the martial arts function!"

The system's voice echoed in his ears, prompting Wang Jun to chuckle for a moment. He quickly opened the property panel of the Solid Strike Martial Arts School:

- Martial Arts School Name: Solid Strike Martial Arts School.

- Sect Leader: Wang Jun. 

- Sect Level: Ninth Level.

- Sect Construction Level: Level 1.

- Cultivation Method of the School: Yi Jin Jing [Preliminary Order of God Product].

- Sect Members: 99/100.

- Contribution Value of the Martial Arts: 30/100.

- Sect Achievement Value: 0/100.

- Sect Mission: None.

- Mainline Mission: Within 100 years... (details omitted here).

"Wait... Martial arts?"

"The host can use the system to exchange for martial arts, and it will automatically be available for martial arts practice."

"What does it do?"

"With these martial arts, any disciple, including the master, can practice."

"You can't practice if you don't have the corresponding martial art?"

"That's correct," the system clarified, "Martial arts practice is restricted to martial arts masters and their disciples. Outsiders cannot practice or steal them. If a disciple is expelled, rebels, abandons their training, informs others, or reveals the martial art, their memory will be forcibly erased."

"Like this."

Wang Jun often laughed and also contemplated whether to give the Yi Jin Jing manual to his disciples for practice. However, he realized that it was too valuable, and if word got out, it would certainly lead to significant trouble. So, he dismissed the idea.

Feeling guilty, he understood the implications. Now that the system explained that outsiders couldn't cultivate or steal it, and that disciples couldn't reveal it, his worries faded away.

"Head, head, are you all right?"

A voice interrupted his thoughts, and Li Qingyang's hand waved in front of Wang Jun's eyes.

Wang Jun snapped out of his reverie, slapped his own face, and jumped up with a grin. It seemed like Li Qingyang had been worried about him.

"Uh..."

Wang Jun often laughed and stood up from the chair with a serious expression. "It's all right, all right."

"That sounds like a good plan," Wang Jun often laughed, and then added, "I'll let the disciples continue with their basic training for now. I'll take some time to carefully think about what martial arts to cultivate."

"Yes," Li Qingyang replied and stepped back.

Wang Jun often laughed and pondered for a moment before deciding, "I'll make Yi Jin Jing the exclusive martial art for our school."

The system informed him, "The host can click on the martial art method, select the method to copy, and send it to the disciples for practice."

"Copy?"

Wang Jun often laughed, selected the martial arts exercises, and a separate data panel appeared. The first item was Yi Jin Jing [Elementary Divine], with a copy button below it.

He clicked the button and a small box appeared, prompting him to fill in the number of cheats to copy.

"Including myself, there are only 99 people in the martial arts. Let's copy 99 copies first," Wang Jun said with a grin. He filled in the number 99 and confirmed the submission.

"Ding!"

"The host consumes 10 points of contribution value, copies 99 copies of the Yi Jin Jing Manual, and they have been transferred to the space ring."

"Ding!"

"Martial contribution: 20/100."

Wang Jun often laughed and grumbled, "Copying cheats and it costs contribution points! Ridiculous!"

The system replied, "That's the way it works."

Wang Jun often laughed and continued to complain, "Even if I could copy a manual by laughing, I still wouldn't exchange it if I knew it would cost contribution points!"

The system clarified, "You can't copy the skills and methods purchased in the mall, including the host itself."

"Like this," Wang Jun often sat down with a smile, took a sip of tea, and savored its fragrance.

With 50 contribution points spent and 30 points used to obtain 99 copies, it was indeed a profitable transaction.

"The next step," Wang Jun often smiled and whispered, "Let each disciple have a copy and learn the Yijin Sutra as quickly as possible to open more meridians."

The Yi Jin Jing was a coveted martial arts manual in the Solid Strike School. Making it available to every disciple would surely make other martial arts factions envious.

The following day, Wang Jun often laughed and gathered his disciples, announcing, "After careful study, I have finally developed a unique cultivation technique suitable for the Solid Strike School."

The disciples were stunned. The head had created a martial arts technique?

"Here we go again," someone whispered, doubting the idea.

Creating a martial arts technique was a rare feat, typically achieved by martial arts masters with extensive experience. However, some of the disciples had witnessed the head's martial skills and had great confidence in his abilities.

"Come on," Wang Jun often smiled and waved, placing 99 copies of the Yi Jin Jing on the table in front of him. He said, "One for each of you, take it for your cultivation."

"Yes!"

The disciples approached in an orderly manner, received their copies, and returned to their positions eagerly, unable to wait to delve into the text.

Li Qingyang, too, opened his copy. As he studied the content according to the instructions, his expression suddenly changed, and his hands holding the manual began to tremble.

It was a mystery, but its brilliance was evident. The way 'Xuan' and 'Yi' were blended together in this Yi Jin Jing was far superior to the Zhong pin technique that his father had purchased at great cost.

"Perhaps..." Li Qingyang held his breath, trying not to let his trembling hands reveal his astonishment. He wondered, "Could this be the best cultivation technique?"

Other disciples might not have his exceptional spiritual root qualifications, making it harder for them to grasp the intricacies of the Yi Jin Jing. However, they all believed that a technique created by their master was undoubtedly a treasure.

Lu Yan was the last to approach. She accepted her copy and asked casually, "Head, if you created a technique that's not as advanced as our current cultivation, would we still learn it?"

Wang Jun often smiled, leaned in closer, and whispered in her ear, "If your cultivation technique is above the divine level, you don't have to learn it."

As Wang Jun whispered those words into Lu Lu Xing's ear, a hushed excitement filled the air. Her heart raced, and her cheeks flushed at the closeness of her master. The scent of her hair, fragrant and inviting, enveloped them both. It was a moment that sent shivers down her spine, a sensation she had never experienced before.

Caught off guard by the unexpected proximity and the implications of his words, Lu Lu's eyes briefly betrayed a hint of panic. She quickly retreated to her seat, her heart pounding in her chest. Her mind was a whirlwind of thoughts. What did he mean by a cultivation technique above the divine level? Could such a thing even exist?

Even though Wang Jun had moved away and resumed his usual demeanor, the fragrance of Lu Lu's hair lingered in the air like an enchanting memory, a subtle reminder of their brief encounter.

Observing her hasty retreat, Wang Jun couldn't help but chuckle. He lightly touched his nose, teasing her playfully, "Feeling shy, are we? It doesn't seem like it's cold enough for that."

Back at her spot, Lu Lu tried to compose herself. She wore an expressionless face, but beneath the surface, a subtle warmth continued to spread across her cheeks. The encounter had left an indelible mark on her, one that would be the subject of contemplation for days to come.

She took a deep breath to calm her racing heart and decided to refocus on the manual for the heart technique. As she delved into the text, her curiosity burned brighter. The head had hinted that this technique might be divine-level, and she was determined to uncover its secrets.

"Crap again," she mumbled to herself, her boredom giving way to a thirst for knowledge and understanding. She read every word carefully, dissecting the intricate details of the Yi Jin Jing.

Ji Longjiu, seated nearby, couldn't contain her curiosity any longer. She watched her master with a smile and finally asked, "Did you really create this technique, Master?"

Wang Jun, with a straight face, stood confidently before his disciples. He had used the exchange system's credibility to make this claim, and he had no intention of backing down from it. He replied, "Yes, I did. It's the result of years of dedication to martial arts and a deep understanding of its principles."

His words resonated with his disciples, who had witnessed his unorthodox yet effective techniques in the past. They believed in his abilities and dedication to their school.

Yet, Lu Lu remained silent, her thoughts swirling like a tempest. She couldn't let go of the question that had arisen earlier. "Can a warrior at the Meridian opening stage truly create a divine-level technique?"
