From breaking the limits of archery to achieving martial arts godhood

Huangzhao Kingdom, Chenjia Village.

In early autumn, the autumn wind blows, and golden waves of wheat ripple across the fields.

In a small courtyard in the village, a boy with a pale face lay on the bed in the master bedroom, looking pained.

"I feel so awful, what's wrong with me?"

The boy let out a hoarse groan and slowly opened his eyes.

"This is?"

Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, the boy's already confused thoughts became even more chaotic.

The next moment, countless unfamiliar memories flooded back.

"Ah!" After a painful groan, the boy briefly lost consciousness again.

When he woke up again, he looked at his hands and his surroundings with a complicated expression.

"I've been reborn!"

Chen Xun sighed with mixed feelings.

Before his rebirth, he was an ordinary office worker, working 996 hours a day was the norm, he was over 30 years old and still unmarried, and his parents had passed away one after another a few years ago, so he had no ties.

His last memory was of working at the company when he felt a sharp pain in his chest.

The next moment, when I opened my eyes, I found myself transported to this world.

"It's good to be reborn. Anyway, I had no ties in that world and was full of minor ailments. I would get out of breath after walking a few steps. Now that I'm a fourteen-year-old boy, I've really hit the jackpot."

Chen Xun clenched his fist, his face beaming with joy.

But soon, the joy on his face vanished, replaced by surprise and doubt.

"This body died from poisoning."

He began to examine the memories of his predecessor.

His predecessor was also named Chen Xun, and he was born in Chenjia Village.

His father was an ordinary hunter. A month ago, when he went hunting in the mountains with other hunters from Chenjia Village, he was unfortunately bitten by a venomous snake. The venom took effect quickly, and he died.

His mother was from the neighboring Lijia Village. She died of a serious illness when he was ten years old.

Now he is the only member left in the family.

Although his father only had one son, he had an older brother and a younger sister.

However, the eldest uncle in the previous life did not get along well with the father in the previous life because he believed that the grandfather in the previous life was biased and gave the only hunter spot in the family to the father in the previous life.

Therefore, the two families do not usually have much contact.

On the contrary, the aunt of the original body had a good relationship with the father of the original body, and the two families visited each other quite frequently.

After the death of his father, the deceased's uncle appeared very sad and busied himself at the funeral, which moved the deceased deeply, so he naturally had no suspicion of this uncle.

After the funeral, the deceased's uncle would visit him from time to time, bringing him food or asking him a few words of concern.

Just yesterday, my former uncle brought me a basket of mushrooms.

After consuming it, the person suffered from vomiting and diarrhea, and eventually died from poisoning.

"Poisonous mushrooms."

Chen Xun approached the basket of mushrooms that were still uneaten, his brows furrowing as he looked at the grayish-brown mushrooms before him.

Was it intentional or accidental?

Just as Chen Xun was filled with doubt, there was a rapid knocking on the door.

"Chen Xun, are you home?"

Judging from the voice, it was that of a middle-aged man.

Chen Xun recognized the voice.

"It's Uncle Chen Wang."

"Why is he here?"

Chen Wang was also a hunter.

Chen Xun then hurriedly got out of bed, went to the courtyard, wrapped his thin clothes around himself, and opened the courtyard gate.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw several people with different expressions outside.

"Thank goodness, Xiao Xun, I'm so glad you're alright."

Chen Wang immediately approached Chen Xun, carefully examined him, and breathed a sigh of relief.

The same was true for the others.

There was only one person, not much older than Chen Xun. When he saw Chen Xun come out, his expression was first somewhat shocked, then gloomy, and finally he forced out a look of concern.

All these changes naturally fell into Chen Xun's eyes, causing him to narrow his eyes involuntarily.

"It seems like it was intentional."

That young man was Chen Xun's cousin, the eldest son of his uncle.

Unlike Chen Xun's father, who only had one son, Chen Xun's uncle had three children: two sons and one daughter.

"Uncle Chen Wang, what happened?"

Holding onto Chen Wang's strong arm, Chen Xun asked in confusion.

"Well, yesterday your uncle gave you a basket of mushrooms, right? They were a poisonous mushroom called Iron Corrosion Mushroom, which looks a lot like the non-poisonous Gray Rock Mushroom. Your uncle is getting senile; he actually mixed up the two kinds of mushrooms."

"The whole family was poisoned after eating it, but thankfully they induced vomiting in time and are out of danger."

"Then your uncle remembered that he had brought you a basket of mushrooms, so he quickly asked Xiaofeng to come and check on you. He ran into a few of us on the way, so we came over together."

Chen Wang explained.

"You old fool, I think he's very shrewd."

After listening, Chen Xun thought to himself.

"But my uncle is ruthless. In order to avoid being suspected by others, he even fed his own family members."

"And Chen Feng's timing is really something else."

Chen Xun couldn't help but glance at Chen Feng, who was also looking at Chen Xun at that moment.

The moment their eyes met, Chen Feng looked away somewhat awkwardly. Then, as if afraid that Chen Xun would suspect something, he quickly looked at Chen Xun and forced a smile.

Chen Xun smiled back at him.

Chen Xun withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyes, and a cold glint flashed in them.

"It's confirmed, it was my uncle who deliberately poisoned them."

"But why would he do that?"

Doubts arose in Chen Xun's mind.

Then Chen Wang asked, "Chen Xun, did you eat those mushrooms?"

"I ate a little, but not much, and then I felt uncomfortable in my stomach, so I threw it all up."

Chen Xun replied.

At this point, there was still vomit in his room that hadn't been cleaned up, which couldn't be denied.

"That's good, that's good. I'm glad you're alright, otherwise I wouldn't know how to tell your aunt."

Chen Wang said with relief.

The two chatted for a few more minutes, and Chen Xun expressed his gratitude to the other villagers of the Chen family.

Then, Chen Wang entered Chen Xun's house, helped him clean the house, took away the bamboo basket mixed with poisonous mushrooms, and left.

So, Chen Xun was left alone in the room.

Looking at the quiet room, Chen Xun sat on the bed, constantly searching through the original owner's memories, looking for the reason why his cheap uncle had harmed him.

Before long, Chen Xun noticed an inconspicuous detail.

It happened during the funeral of the original owner's father. The original owner's uncle asked about the family's savings so that he could assess the situation and decide what kind of funeral to hold.

The original owner of the body had no suspicions and gave a number: thirty-three taels.

In his memory, the original owner's uncle's eyes lit up immediately, and his gaze toward Chen Xun became even more amiable.

Afterwards, the entire funeral cost less than eight taels of silver, which was considered quite economical.

If it weren't for this incident, even Chen Xun would have thought that his uncle was saving him money.

In retrospect, he was saving himself money.

It turns out that Chenjia Village has a village rule that if a family line ends in extinction, then the family's accumulated wealth will be transferred to the person with the closest blood relation to them.

The family most closely related to the original owner of the body by blood were her uncle and aunt's family.

It can be said that as soon as the original owner dies, all of his family's savings will fall into the hands of his uncle.

As for the original owner's aunt, a married daughter is like water spilled from a cup; unless the original owner makes a will, she has virtually no chance of inheriting this fortune.

Having figured out the whole thing, Chen Xun couldn't help but exhale a breath of stale air.

"Wealth is truly alluring!"

It is foreseeable that as long as Chen Xun is alive, his uncle will likely continue to try to kill him.

After all, the remaining twenty-five taels of silver were quite valuable to Uncle Ba, who relied on farming for a living.

"What should I do?"

Chen Xun pondered silently.

The next moment, he saw the bow and arrows hanging on the wall.

He walked closer and then took it down.

"I'm too young to learn martial arts."

"Then let's try this archery skill."

With that thought in mind, he picked up his bow and arrow, went into the courtyard, and began to try shooting.

Following a familiar feeling, Chen Xun began to draw his bow, and then shot an arrow.

With a "whoosh," the arrow hit the target accurately.

Archery experience +1

A message suddenly appeared before Chen Xun's eyes and then disappeared.

Chen Xun was taken aback at first, then overjoyed.

"Golden Finger" (or "Cheat Code").

The next moment, a blue bamboo scroll appeared deep in Chen Xun's consciousness. On the surface of the scroll were engraved five large characters: "Martial Arts Diligence Record".

As Chen Xun's consciousness landed on it, the bamboo slips gradually unfolded.

Lines of golden text appeared on the bamboo slips.
