My personal taste is to develop characters via external, in-character rewards like wealth, property, and contacts. Things like cybernetic improvements and magic powers can be added to a character without changing their Traits, since such things can be used as Embellishments for actions based on existing Traits.

Having said all that, it would be pretty easy to slap a traditional XP system on Wushu. Just hand out points as you wish and let players buy new Trait levels at a cost equal to the new level.

I wouldn't increase a character's Chi, though. I kept that equal for all PCs to level the playing field in combat. Wushu is a combat game, and every PC should be competent in a fight.
