Hopefully the fighting won't be skipped, and I'm still wondering how many cultivations he can learn from what he said and how the skills you can learn are based it seems like you can learn as much, as you want and if so I really hope he will soon ask General Shi after his cultivation method I mean he is emperor ranked so his cultivation should it also be.
The whole technology of this game is still in early stages and it will take a long time to get to gunpowder weapons which eventually replace Bows, crossbows, ballistae etc.
