The Second Prismatic Mythic Affix

[Year 51, 69 years old.]

[You replaced the trait "Flash of Inspiration" with "The Older, The Luckier".]

[You continued to search for earth veins, and at the same time, you didn't give up on the methods of demonic cultivators.]

[You asked Zhenpin to introduce you to some more unorthodox and demonic paths.]

[At the Hundred Poisons Sect, you tasted a poison that felt like it was tearing your guts apart, leaving you bedridden in agony for a month.]

[Failing to break through, you settled the score with these lethal poison masters.]

[These wicked heretics, brewing poisons to harm people—may heaven and earth destroy them!]

[At the Myriad Gu Sect, you experienced the excruciating pain of Gu worms entering your brain. Foaming at the mouth, you almost permanently lost your normal intelligence.]

[Failing to break through, you settled the score with these Gu-raising masters.]

[These wicked heretics, raising Gu to harm people—they deserve death by a thousand cuts!]

[At the Joyous Union Sect, you enjoyed indescribable bliss. Surrounded by beautiful women, you almost forgot about breaking through.]

[Failing to break through, you... you thanked the sisters and promised to come back next time.]

[The Joyous Union faith is great; dual cultivation is definitely something worth learning.]

[However, after your time at the Joyous Union Sect, you felt your body become much weaker. It was somewhat similar to how you felt in the late stages of your previous simulation, just not as severe.]

[Over these past few years, you had also been studying that Earth-rank cultivation method.]

[But you had to admit, your comprehension ability was quite average.]

[In order not to waste this technique, you shared it with Zhenpin, thinking that if he managed to learn it, he could guide you.]

[Unfortunately, without any guidance for an Earth-rank technique, even with Zhenpin's slightly superior comprehension, he still hadn't grasped the basics to this day.]

[After once again leaving a demonic sect covered in injuries, you lay on a handcart, looking at Zhenpin pulling it from the front.]

["Sorry for troubling you again, monk..."]

["Benefactor Chen, I have never seen anyone as stubborn as you."]

["I must break through."]

["At your age, what's the point of breaking through?"]

["There is a point..."]

["Heh, then let me ask you, what is your purpose in cultivating the martial dao?"]

["To pursue the martial dao!"]

["Be realistic."]

["Beautiful women! Wealth! Longevity! Showing off in front of others! The reverence of the world! Saving the world! Saving, my, world!"]

["Now that sounds more like human speech. But even if you were in the Spirit Condensation Realm like me, you still wouldn't live past a hundred years. Even if you broke through to the Golden Body Realm, your time would still be running out, not to mention how much you've tormented your body over the years.

Without lifespan and a healthy body to support them, aren't all those things you want just castles in the air?"]

[You smiled without saying a word, lying on the cart and looking up at the blue sky and white clouds.]

[Year 52, 70 years old.]

[Extracting trait...]

[Extraction successful!]

[Proficiency (Prismatic Mythic):

Congratulations! From today onwards, comprehension in cultivating techniques is no longer important to you!

As long as you repeatedly practice a technique and reach the required number of times to increase its proficiency, you can directly elevate the technique's proficiency realm!

Heaven rewards the diligent. Get to practicing, young man!]

[Would you like to adjust your traits?]

[Yes/No]

"Hmm???"

Outside the simulation, Chen Yi was startled by the sudden appearance of the colorful text!

"Prismatic Mythic!!"

After so many days, a second Prismatic trait had finally appeared!

He took a look at its effect.

"This looks so familiar..."

It was a relatively simple proficiency system.

Ignoring comprehension and the difficulty of the technique, as long as he practiced repeatedly, he could learn it or increase the technique's proficiency realm.

Through his previous simulations, Chen Yi had already learned that technique proficiency realms were divided into six levels: Entry, Adept, Proficient, Minor Completion, Major Completion, and Perfection.

The higher the realm, the stronger the technique's effect.

For external skills, internal skills, and mental cultivation methods, the higher the realm, the faster the speed of improving the three qi, which indirectly accelerated the overall cultivation speed.

The higher the realm of a martial art, the greater its power would undoubtedly be, perhaps even producing some kind of qualitative change!

The most crucial aspect of this trait was that comprehension would no longer be a bottleneck when cultivating techniques!

For example, in the current simulation, with this trait, it didn't matter whether he could understand the Earth-rank technique or not. He just needed to mimic the movements described in the manual.

As long as he reached the corresponding number of repetitions, he would naturally learn it.

"A simulator, a proficiency system—they both have cheat-like effects. Could it be that all Prismatic traits are different kinds of cheats?"

Thinking of this, Chen Yi's heart surged with excitement.

The male protagonists in novels only had one cheat, but I can have many!

This trait system was practically handing him cheats on a silver platter!

[You replaced "The Older, The Luckier" with "Proficiency".]

[You suddenly sat up from the handcart, picked up the jade slip, and following the martial arts moves on it, brought your right index and middle fingers together and started gesturing in the air.]

[Pulling the cart, Zhenpin saw you sit up in shock from your dying state with an excited look on your face, and was completely baffled.]

["Benefactor Chen, is there something wrong with your brain again? I told you long ago, don't keep trying those unorthodox demonic paths..."]

["Monk, you're right! From today onwards, I will never touch those demonic paths again! I'm going to focus on practicing my martial arts!"]

["Benefactor Chen, you truly are a fickle person. With one foot in the grave, you've changed your ambitions again."]

[You had figured it out. In this simulation, if you couldn't break through your realm, so be it. At the very least, you could use the "Proficiency" trait to push up the realms of your techniques!]

[Therefore, you couldn't torment your body anymore; you needed to live a bit longer.]

[This "Proficiency" trait didn't consume any resources—it only consumed time!]

[The Earth-rank martial art in the jade slip was called "Star-Shattering Wave Finger." The effect it produced was similar to a long-range laser, like the Six Meridians Divine Sword.]

[You glanced at your status panel. After you completed one set of moves for the "Star-Shattering Wave Finger," the following description appeared under the technique column on your panel:]

[Star-Shattering Wave Finger (Earth-rank, Uninitiated, 1/100).]

[This meant you had to practice it a hundred times to level it up.]

[Then you'd just have to practice!]

[When you practiced it for the ninety-ninth time, you actually still hadn't learned this martial art. You were merely mimicking the moves. Your understanding of how to mobilize the three qi and how to produce the effect described in the technique was still blurry and off the mark.]

[However, when you practiced it for the hundredth time, you suddenly understood everything and directly grasped the basics!]

["Boom!!"]

[You pointed a finger forward, and a burst of force shot out from your fingertip. Wherever it passed, the air distorted.]

[The force landed hundreds of meters away, yet it still shattered a massive boulder into fine powder!]

[Along its path, it left a long trench on the ground, and all nearby vegetation was shredded to pieces!]

["What a powerful killing move, and it's a long-range attack too!"]

[Zhenpin was stunned on the spot when he saw you successfully learn the "Star-Shattering Wave Finger" while sitting on the handcart.]

[Didn't we agree that I would learn it first and then guide you?]

[How did you end up learning it first?]

["Benefactor Chen, could I trouble you to pull the cart and let me sit on it to try? I suspect this cart might have a special effect that boosts comprehension."]

[Zhenpin eventually learned it too, but that was a few years later, and it was under your guidance.]
