Methods to Quickly Increase Proficiency

A few minutes later, Chen Mo had perfectly mastered the technique of this chopping sword move. He had thoroughly mastered the power generation technique and was able to exert his strength to the maximum. Chopping with both hands had become an instinct.

Now, he doesn't need to activate his mental perception or prepare; he can unleash a perfect-level two-handed cleaver at any time.

Chen Mo took a break and carefully savored what he had just learned.

Chen Mo knew that the reason he was able to master the two-handed cleaver technique so quickly was due to his talent and the reward of hard work.

One certificate is valid forever; this is not just a saying, but a conceptual capability.

Without the reward of hard work, even with his spiritual perception, it would have been impossible to master the two-handed cleaver so quickly.

Because the body needs to practice continuously over a long period of time to turn techniques into instincts.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be the saying "practice in the hottest days of winter and the hottest days of summer."

Without the fixed principle of "heaven rewards diligence," Chen Mo would need a lot of time to practice; otherwise, he might understand it in his mind but not in his body.

Take Chen Mo for example. When he first practiced the sword-splitting technique using his mental perception, he clearly knew where the problem lay.

So he adjusted his posture again and again. With each adjustment, his talent solidified his posture, preventing him from making the same mistakes again and allowing him to improve a little bit each time.

When all the errors are gone, perfection will naturally follow.

"I wonder if practicing just one move will increase my proficiency in basic swordsmanship?"

Thinking of this, Chen Mo immediately opened the panel and saw that the proficiency of "Basic Knife Techniques" had already changed.

It increased by 10 points, becoming (43/200).

"A whopping 10 points! Not bad! Keep it up!"

Chen Mo immediately became full of energy.

"Indeed, spiritual perception combined with diligence is the best method of cultivation!"

The combined effect is phenomenal!

This is infinitely better than aimless diligence.

The combination of the two is equivalent to having extraordinary comprehension, enabling one to quickly learn martial arts techniques and skills, and to reach perfection in a short period of time.

This is simply wonderful.

Feeling quite pleased with himself, Chen Mo continued to practice the variations of his cleaving sword technique.

Variations of the cleaver include diagonal cleavers with one or two hands, straight cleavers with one hand, and jumping cleavers, among others.

It was precisely because of these many variations that his basic swordsmanship proficiency increased by 10 points.

With his talent coming into play and the effects of his cultivation becoming increasingly apparent, Chen Mo decided to use this method to cultivate.

Practice each move one by one until you reach perfection. Finally, connect the moves together, and you can achieve perfection in a short time.

This is much better than practicing it from beginning to end once before.

Some might say, since there's a saying that hard work pays off, why not just practice directly instead of spending time analyzing each move? You should know that with this talent, as long as you have enough time, you can master it; it just takes a little more time.

Moreover, analyzing techniques takes just as much effort and time as practicing them directly.

This statement is incorrect.

Chen Mo tried practicing the basic sword techniques from beginning to end, but it only increased his proficiency slightly and took about ten minutes.

Analyzing a move, from beginner to perfect, only takes about ten minutes, but the increase in proficiency is not just a little, but several, or even more than ten points.

In comparison, analyzing the moves is still more cost-effective.

To reach higher levels of skill, one needs to practice for thousands or even tens of thousands of repetitions to achieve a certain level of proficiency.

Moreover, it takes longer.

Take, for example, the basic stance training, with its thirty-six forms. It takes an hour to complete one round, and it only increases one's proficiency slightly.

Last night, Chen Mo only perfected the first move and gained 5 points of proficiency, all in just over ten minutes.

In comparison, analyzing techniques and understanding their underlying principles yields greater benefits.

Moreover, knowing the principles and force application of a move naturally leads to an understanding of its weaknesses, which can be of great use in combat.

There was another reason why Chen Mo was unwilling to practice each passage from beginning to end.

Such practice, increasing proficiency little by little, yields too little insight. But if you practice only one move and analyze it simultaneously, the insights are readily apparent.

For example, the way he discovers one problem in an hour of his stance training is incomparable to the way he discovers more than ten problems in just over ten minutes.

It's pretty obvious!

Without the special skill of mental perception, he would naturally have diligently practiced from beginning to end over and over again.

Actually, there's no need to argue. What method to use and how to cultivate are all Chen Mo's own business. He can cultivate however he wants.

Returning to Chen Mo, since his double-handed straight chop was already perfected and he had a foundation, he could easily perform a double-handed diagonal chop with slight modifications.

This time it took even less time.

In less than ten minutes, Chen Mo had mastered the double-handed diagonal chop technique.

Next, Chen Mo began practicing his left and right hand techniques, including straight and diagonal chops.

It took Chen Mo more than an hour to perfect the basic sword technique of the chopping stroke.

His panel also showed a change in his proficiency with basic sword techniques:

Basic knife skills achieved (95/200).

When I woke up in the morning, my proficiency level was 33/200. It increased by 62 points in one hour, which shows the value of the analytical method.

If you practice from beginning to end, taking ten minutes per session, it will take an hour, and you will only gain 6 points, which is only one-tenth of the analytical method.

Chen Mo sheathed his sword with satisfaction, wiped the sweat off his body with his clothes, and headed home.

"Xiao Mo, are you done training?"

"Yes, Uncle Zhang!" Chen Mo replied with a smile.

Grandpa Zhang is a resident downstairs from Chen Mo. Chen Mo often runs into him when he exercises in the morning, so they are quite familiar with each other.

"I heard you're taking the martial arts exam this year, is that right?"

"yes!"

"Oh, my grandson too! He says he's confident he can get into Wuhan University! Are you confident? Would you like my grandson to give you some pointers?"

Grandpa Zhang was filled with pride when talking about his grandson.

Of course, any advice is just a polite way of putting it.

"No need for pointers! I have my own rhythm. Uncle Zhang, I just finished my workout and I'm starving. My mom's waiting for me to come home for breakfast!"

With that, Chen Mo quickly left.

"That kid is so rude!"

Grandpa Zhang was quite unhappy that he couldn't show off his arithmetic skills in front of Chen Mo.

He knew that Chen Mo's martial arts talent was far inferior to his grandson's, which was why he spoke to Chen Mo and took the opportunity to put him down.

the other side.

Chen Mo naturally knew that Grandpa Zhang's grandson, Zhang Hongda, was in the same school as Chen Mo and had better aptitude than Chen Mo, already being an eighth-rank martial arts apprentice.

However, Zhang Hongda considers himself a genius and has his own arrogance. He looks down on Chen Mo and pretends not to know him when they meet at school.

If we bump into each other in the neighborhood, we won't greet each other.

Chen Mo wouldn't make a fool of himself by trying to curry favor with Zhang Hongda.

As for Grandpa Zhang, Chen Mo only greeted him out of politeness.

He's always showing off his grandson, but I don't want to hear him brag.

The two companies have no connection whatsoever; they are merely acquaintances.

Chen Mo's response to him was already very polite.

Unlike Zhang Hongda, who wouldn't even bother to say hello.

"What do I care about what others do?" Chen Mo dismissed these thoughts and hurried home.
