Chapter 3: Characteristics After Breaking the Limit
Chapter 3: Characteristics After Breaking the Limit
【Literacy: Breakthrough? Consume 10 Essence Energy points to achieve Literacy Breakthrough?】
Upon seeing this prompt, Jiang Ning instantly realized the truth.
"So that's how it is!! The purpose of Essence Energy points is revealed!"
At this moment, he gained a complete understanding.
Previously, with the appearance of the panel, the Essence Energy column would increase by 0.1 to 0.3 points every day at midnight.
Despite his numerous attempts, he had never figured out the effect of the Essence Energy points on the panel.
Until now, he finally understood.
It turns out that when a skill reaches Perfection, one must consume Essence Energy points to continue breaking through.
After comprehending this, Jiang Ning had no more doubts. His thoughts moved, and in an instant, 10 Essence Energy points were deducted from the panel, and the Literacy skill displayed on it began to change.
Jiang Ning instantly sensed a clear and serene force flowing through his mind, like a calm wellspring.
He closed his eyes, feeling the changes within his body.
After a while, everything returned to calm.
Jiang Ning opened his eyes, and the panel appeared before him.
【Name】: Jiang Ning
【Essence Energy】: 3.5
【Skills】: Literacy: Breakthrough 0/2000 (Characteristic: Photographic Memory)
"As expected!!" He muttered to himself.
This change was not beyond his expectations.
Before, he had noticed the word 'Characteristic'.
Previously, as the Literacy skill progressed from the initial stage to each breakthrough, the Characteristic column remained empty.
Upon reaching Perfection, he had a hunch that breaking through after Perfection might unlock a characteristic, and now his guess had come true. He wasn't too surprised by this development.
【Photographic Memory】: Extraordinary memory, nothing can be forgotten once seen.
He quickly scanned the surroundings, and in less than a breath, the scene of the small courtyard he had just scanned appeared vividly in his mind. Whether it was the fluttering wings of a bee or the falling leaves flipping in the air, they all appeared clearly and vividly in his mind.
"Such an effect!!" Jiang Ning couldn't help but marvel inwardly.
This effect far exceeded his expectations.
The Photographic Memory he now possessed was not limited to text but extended to images, as clear as a texture, vivid and lifelike, almost as if they could move.
"With the blessing of Photographic Memory, it's also extremely beneficial for my martial arts training!!" Jiang Ning's heart surged with excitement.
In this world, those who study literature and participate in the Imperial Exams can rise from humble beginnings to become revered scholars, even reaching the ranks of the emperor.
The same is true for martial arts. Those who take the Martial Exams can lead armies of millions, be granted titles and kingdoms, and even carve out new territories.
Moreover, the martial path allows one to stand alone as an army, a force to be reckoned with by nations, and even attain longevity!
According to the records in the books he had read over the past few days, the Great Xia Dynasty's successful founding was attributed to a Martial Sage, an invincible warrior.
This Martial Sage had suppressed the Great Xia Dynasty's fortune for eight hundred years.
In other words, this Martial Sage had lived from the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty until the present, a legend, a myth.
The current turmoil in the Great Xia Dynasty, in Jiang Ning's eyes, was also related to the Martial Sage's absence for decades.
Understanding this, Jiang Ning had already made his plans. He wanted both literature and martial arts.
Only children make choices; adults want it all.
He wanted both literature and martial arts, prioritizing martial arts while supporting his literary pursuits. For him, these two paths were not conflicting but rather complementary.
First of all, for him now, possessing the ability of Photographic Memory, passing the Imperial Exams to obtain an Official Rank is as easy as it gets.
Without Scholarly Study, one cannot understand the world and its ways. How can one find a place in the tumultuous times of the Great Xia Dynasty's decline? There's no doubt that before reaching the peak of Martial Training, understanding the importance of sight is crucial.
Moreover, passing the Imperial Exams to obtain an Official Rank allows one to worship at the Temple of Saints and gain Vast Righteous Energy, which is the best way to nurture the Divine Soul, aside from the secret teachings of Buddhism and .
The officials at the Imperial Court each possess a Powerful Divine Soul, their thoughts are as swift as a moment's notice, which allows them to firmly sit at the court and plan the world.
Furthermore, at the final stage of the Martial Path, one not only needs Body Cultivation but also Divine Soul nurturing.
The strength of the Divine Soul will greatly aid him in his future pursuit of becoming a Supreme Warrior in the Martial Path.
Another point is that he must continue to gain Experience Points in Literacy Breakthrough, which requires him to extensively read Ancient Texts. Only by constantly perusing a wide range of books can he gain Experience Points in this skill.
Since he has already gained the ability of Photographic Memory through one breakthrough, he believes that a second breakthrough will undoubtedly grant him even more abilities.
The power of these abilities is beyond doubt!
Therefore, for him, passing the Imperial Exams to obtain an Official Rank is a simple task, and it is also a multi-beneficial good deed.
"I now hope that my guess is right, and Martial Techniques can also gain Experience Points," Jiang Ning muttered to himself, "Before this, I was injured in my previous life, and it took more than two months to recover. It's the perfect time to start Scholarly Study."
"Now that I have achieved some success in Scholarly Study and have successfully tested all the effects of the panel, it's time to start Martial Training!"
"With my Photographic Memory and the panel's amazing effects, once I start Martial Training, my progress will surely be swift."
"I'll ask my Elder Brother later if he, as a Sheriff at the Government Office, has any suitable Martial Techniques for me to learn!"
Just as Jiang Ning's thoughts were flowing, a deep and resonant voice came from the Main House.
"Younger Brother, come and have lunch!"
Hearing these words, Jiang Ning placed the Immortal Divine Techniques Manual on the chair and then got up, walking towards the Main House.
The moment he stepped into the Main House, he saw his Elder Brother, Elder Sister, Nephew Jiang Yiming, and Niece Xiao Dou Bao, also known as Jiang Yuan Yuan.
"Elder Brother, Elder Sister!" Jiang Ning greeted them.
"Sit!" said Jiang Li, the Elder Brother.
"Doo doo, doo doo! Sit next to Dou Bao," said Xiao Dou Bao, who was sitting on a stool and vigorously lying on the Dining Table, inviting Jiang Ning to sit beside her.
After Jiang Ning took his seat, Jiang Li, the Elder Brother, picked up some vegetables and said, "I've seen you studying very hard lately. Are you thinking of taking the Imperial Exams and obtaining an Official Rank?"
"I have some thoughts about it!" Jiang Ning nodded slightly, then shook his head, "But I want to learn Martial Training even more!"
"Martial Training?" Jiang Li looked at Jiang Ning in surprise, and his eyes immediately turned serious, "Do you really want to learn Martial Training?"
"Yes!" Jiang Ning nodded firmly.
"Are you sure? Learning Martial Training is very difficult and arduous. Are you truly prepared?" Jiang Li continued.
Jiang Ning nodded again, "I am!"
"Alright!" Jiang Li nodded slightly, about to speak when his mouth twitched slightly.
Seeing this, Jiang Ning glanced at his Elder Sister, Liu Wanwan, and noticed her subtle movements. He instantly understood that Liu Wanwan was secretly tugging at Jiang Li, seemingly aware of Jiang Li's next thought.
Jiang Li also gave Liu Wanwan a slight glare and then looked at Jiang Ning.
"Alright, since that's the case, I'll go and find you a good teacher later."
