High Martial Arts: I Awaken a Low-Tier Martial System

Chapter 166 148: Rapid Advancement (Double-Length)

In another practice room.

”Jiang Ye.”

”Your spear technique has significant issues,” Zhu Honglie stated bluntly, ”There are too many mistakes that shouldnʼt be made.”

A look of surprise appeared on Jiang Yeʼs face.

He knew the teacher would point out his errors, but he didnʼt expect to be told from the start that he had significant issues.

Was his practice really that poor just now?

”Please instruct me, Teacher,” Jiang Ye promptly said.

”First of all.”

”In your attempt to display ultimate techniques, many of your basic moves seem too rushed,” Zhu Honglie said sternly, ”Although ultimate techniques are powerful, the true essence of spear technique lies in the finer details of ordinary moves.”

”Pursuing only the ultimate techniques while neglecting these details is barking up the wrong tree.”

”If you try to correct these details only after perfecting the ultimate techniques, it will be too late...” Zhu Honglie continued.

In the next half hour, Zhu Honglie meticulously pointed out every mistake and oversight.

Jiang Ye listened, his mind violently shaken.

Many of the mistakes and oversights he had indeed never noticed before.

This was not just due to his skill level, but also due to his perspective.

From his perspective, even if he practiced ten thousand times, he might not discover these mistakes, let alone correct them.

But for Zhu Honglie, they were easy to spot.

”Teacher Zhuʼs perspective and skill level far exceed Teacher Chen and Teacher Cao,” Jiang Ye thought to himself.

Zhu Honglie was able to clearly identify and correct each and every detail.

Previously, when Chen Zilu and Cao Feng taught him, it was nowhere near this thorough.

For Jiang Ye, this was an invaluable improvement.

”Next, I will demonstrate the Great Sun Spear Technique.”

Zhu Honglie said solemnly, ”Watch carefully, and learn well.”

”Yes,” Jiang Ye responded promptly.

Zhu Honglie took Jiang Yeʼs spear and began to demonstrate in front of him.

”Swish~ Swish~ Swish!”

The resounding noise echoed as Zhu Honglie wielded the spear, and in that instant, it was as if he transformed from an elderly man into a vibrant young figure, an immense ocean of Essence, Qi, and Spirit bursting forth from him.

”Observing the finest details,” a glimmer of light quietly flashed in Jiang Yeʼs eyes.

The next moment,

Zhu Honglieʼs body seemed to turn transparent to Jiang Ye.

Crimson gold veins surged through Zhu Honglieʼs body like great rivers, emanating a terrifying life force.

”It really works,” a trace of joy appeared on Jiang Yeʼs face.

His expression became more serious as he carefully focused on the teacher, noting each moveʼs corresponding cultivation route.

...

A quarter of an hour later.

Zhu Honglie stood still after retracting the spear, and looked at Jiang Ye, ”Is there anything you donʼt understand?”

Jiang Ye thought for a moment, then shook his head, ”No.”

”Good, now perform it once more in front of me,” Zhu Honglie said, tossing the spear back to Jiang Ye.

”Yes,” Jiang Ye replied as he caught the spear.

He quickly began practicing again.

”Swish~ Swish~” This time, Jiang Yeʼs stance with the spear was noticeably different from the first time.

As soon as he started, there was a strong, steady edge to his movements.

”Hmm?”

”This kid... somethingʼs off...” A glint of surprise flashed in Zhu Honglieʼs eyes.

He could see that Jiang Yeʼs progress was quite significant this time!

Improvement is normal.

But to make so much progress in just one session of teaching? Very rare!

”Boom! Boom! Boom!” Jiang Ye continued practicing his spear technique, the Great Sun Spear Technique becoming increasingly proficient in his hands.

A quarter of an hour later.

Jiang Ye stood still after retracting the spear, cupping his hands toward Zhu Honglie, ”Teacher, Iʼve finished practicing.”

”Not bad.”

”Your progress is very rapid,” Zhu Honglie, no longer stern, smiled, ”It seems you were really listening just now.”

”The teacherʼs instruction is excellent; the student couldnʼt help but be engrossed,” Jiang Ye said.

”Haha,” Zhu Honglie laughed.

He looked at this student, feeling increasingly satisfied.

Who wouldnʼt like a serious, fast-progressing, and well-spoken student?

Jiang Ye also smiled, looking at his own panel.

[Great Sun Spear Technique: Not Entered (40%→50%)]

To improve by 10% in one teaching session!

This speed is simply terrifying!

”Observing the finest details,” Jiang Ye marveled in his heart, ”Really is a powerful tool for improvement!”

Through Observing the finest details, he could visually see Zhu Honglieʼs cultivation route.

This feeling was akin to a math prodigy visualizing the solution to any problem effortlessly.

Naturally, Jiang Yeʼs quick improvement also relied on Zhu Honglieʼs top-level teaching skills.

Top-level talent with a top-level teacher, the effect is self-explanatory.

”Next.”

”Practice that Starry Sky Secret Technique once,” Zhu Honglie instructed, ”letʼs see if thereʼs anything that needs improvement.”

”Starry Sky Secret Technique?”

Jiang Ye was surprised, ”Arenʼt we continuing with spear training?”

”Bite off more than you can chew,” Zhu Honglie said, ”If you want to improve the fastest, you need balanced development; you canʼt just practice one technique.”

”Your improvement in spear technique is already significant; if you continue practicing, your mind wonʼt keep up.”

”So, switch to another practice for now.”

”Okay,” Jiang Ye nodded in realization.

He didnʼt hesitate anymore and began cultivating ”Nine Luminaries Star Stepping” in front of the teacher.

Zhu Honglie, as a high-level professor at Penglai University, had an extensive range of knowledge, having cultivated various Starry Sky Secret Techniques as well.

Teaching Jiang Ye was more than enough.

...

Two hours later.

Jiang Ye walked out of the practice room.

”With the teacherʼs guidance.”

”My progress is indeed extraordinary,” Jiang Ye felt immensely grateful inside, ”In just three short hours, Iʼve made improvements equivalent to a whole day of my usual cultivation.”

He looked at the panel.

[Nine Luminaries Star Stepping: Entry (10%)]

[Great Sun Spear Technique: Not Entered (60%)]

Both Nine Luminaries Star Stepping and the Great Sun Spear Technique had made very significant progress.

In fact, Jiang Yeʼs gains went beyond just that.
