Cultivation

Basic Stats
Arm Strength (AST) - represented strength and vitality. It slowly increased as time passed, and when the player worked hard to improve their martial arts.

Body Movement (BMM) - represented speed and dexterity. It also slowly increased as time passed, and when the player’s lightness skill improved.

Affinity (AFF) - It represented defense and the player’s foundation. Usually, it could only increase when the player’s qi cultivation technique reached profound levels or they practiced martial arts focusing on strengthening the physical body. This also showed the difficulty in transitioning from practicing low-tier martial arts to high-tier martial arts.

Comprehension(CPH) - it represented a person’s ability to understand martial arts.

It would usually increase when a player reached a breakthrough and entered a higher realm.

Regardless of whether it were novice level martial arts such as Shaolin’s Long Fist, qi cultivation techniques, lightness skills, or hidden weapon techniques, as long as the skills reached the ninth realm, which was an advanced realm, the player’s Comprehension would also increase a little. The more profound a martial art was, the more the player’s Comprehension would increase.

This meant that if a player wanted to move from learning low-tier martial arts to high-tier martial arts, they would need to practice many skills from different sects. They would also have to gain a certain degree of success with those skills before they could increase their Comprehension and become a truly powerful martial artist.

Shortcut to increase Comprehension.
All players could go to private schools and listen to lectures or buy books. Both could train the mind and increase Comprehension. However, the fees for private schools were very expensive, and up to this moment, it was difficult for the newbies in World of Martial Arts to earn money. There was probably no person who could spend the huge sum of money required to attend a private school.
