From breaking the limits of archery to achieving martial arts godhood

"Nephew Chen Xun, thank goodness you're alright, otherwise your uncle would never be at peace with himself for the rest of his life."

The next day, Chen Xun's uncle came to visit him.

According to him, the reason he only came today is because he was also poisoned and felt unwell.

Now that I'm feeling a little better, I rushed over.

His words were filled with guilt and worry for Chen Xun.

If Chen Xun weren't no longer the same Chen Xun, one might actually believe his nonsense.

"Uncle, this matter cannot be entirely blamed on you; after all, you meant well."

Chen Xun smiled and comforted him.

His eyes were full of sincerity.

Anyone can act.

The two of them then put on a touching performance about family affection.

Afterwards, Chen Xun's uncle, Chen Ji, left half a pound of smoked meat as compensation for Chen Xun.

Chen Xun dared not eat the food Chen Ji had given him and quickly declined.

But Chen Ji didn't give him a chance to refuse, he threw the smoked meat on the table and left.

After leaving Chen Xun's house, Chen Ji looked pained.

"You little brat, you're lucky you survived."

"And you wasted a good piece of my meat."

That's right, the smoked meat wasn't poisonous.

Chen Ji isn't stupid; he certainly wouldn't poison people repeatedly in a short period of time.

The reason for offering half a pound of precious smoked meat to compensate Chen Xun was naturally to show the others in Chen Family Fort.

Only in this way will others believe that the poisoning was truly an accident, and that his uncle cares deeply for Chen Xun.

That way, if something happens to Chen Xun in the future, no one will associate it with him.

He was still not giving up on the twenty-five taels of silver from Chen Xun's family.

After all, he had worked hard farming for decades, and the savings he had accumulated were only a dozen or so taels of silver.

In addition, his youngest son is almost old enough to learn martial arts. If he had this money, his youngest son might be able to become a martial artist.

As a result, their family became wealthy.

"For Yu'er's sake, I must get this money."

Chen Ji thought fiercely to himself.

Beneath his honest and unassuming face, he began to ponder his next dirty trick to deal with Chen Xun.

Chen Xun frowned as he looked at the smoked meat on the table.

"My dear uncle wouldn't have poisoned this, would he?"

"Forget it, why think so much? Just don't eat it."

So Chen found a corner, dug a hole, and buried the half-pound of smoked meat.

Although it was a bit of a pity, Chen Xun still did it without hesitation.

After finishing these tasks, Chen Xun continued practicing his archery skills.

He practiced archery all afternoon yesterday, which made his arms almost swollen.

But after he used the black ointment, the swelling subsided considerably overnight.

When I woke up in the morning, my arms had almost returned to normal, and were even a bit stronger.

Chen Xun could feel that as his archery skills improved, the strength in his arms was gradually increasing.

Although the increase was small, he could clearly feel it.

Standing in the courtyard, Chen Xun held a bow and arrow, his body naturally assuming an archery stance.

Then, without hesitation, he took out an arrow and, without aiming, shot it based on his instincts.

With a "thud," the arrow hit the bullseye precisely.

Archery experience +1

Then, Chen Xun continued his previous action, without aiming, and shot directly based on his feeling.

A series of "chop, chop, chop" sounds rang out, and every arrow hit the target.

And nearly half of them hit the bullseye.

"it is good."

Seeing this, Chen Xun was overjoyed.

His archery skills improved so quickly in just one day; the cheat code is truly amazing.

With such visible progress, Chen Xun became increasingly engrossed in practicing archery.

Time flew by, and Chen Xun's archery skills began to improve rapidly.

As noon approached, Chen Xun's archery skills had reached the beginner level of 50%.

However, Chen Xun soon realized that something was wrong.

He discovered that he had shot several arrows in a row, but had not gained any more experience points.

"What's going on?"

Chen Xun felt a little flustered.

Then, he began to look for the reason.

He soon found the reason.

"Distance is a matter of distance."

Twenty paces from the target, Chen Xun shot an arrow and easily hit the target.

Archery experience +1

I can gain experience again.

This made Chen Xun happy, but he also thought to himself, "I'm afraid the distance required will only increase as we go further."

His courtyard was only about twenty-five or twenty-six steps long.

From now on, he'll probably have to find a secluded place to practice his archery.

The morning passed quickly, and Chen Xun's archery progress reached 52%.

At noon, Chen Xun started a fire to cook.

This time, Chen Yumo didn't bring any food, so Chen Xun had to cook for himself.

There wasn't much good food at home; all that was left was half a jar of millet, a piece of cured meat, and half a basket of wild vegetables.

Chen Xun stir-fried a plate of wild vegetables, added a few slices of cured meat, and then steamed three ounces of millet.

Chen Xun mixed the food together and began to eat heartily.

The taste was so-so, but Chen Xun didn't have the right to be picky at the moment, so he finished eating quickly and replenished the energy he had used up in the morning.

After taking a nap to replenish his energy, Chen Xun continued practicing archery in the afternoon.

And just like that, three days passed in the blink of an eye.

That morning, Chen Xun stood in his own courtyard, his posture upright, his eyes like those of a hawk, exuding a sharp aura.

The person has changed quite a bit from what they were a few days ago.

The next moment, he held a longbow, grabbed an arrow, and without aiming, drew the bow and shot.

With a "whoosh," the arrow hit the bullseye precisely.

Archery experience +1

At the same time, the progress of archery also changed.

Archery (Beginner 99%) → Archery (Proficient 1%)

His archery skills have improved.

Chen Xun was delighted to see this.

Before a smile could even appear on his face, a flood of memories rushed into his mind.

In my memory, there are various scenes of him practicing archery, as if he really had such an experience.

In these memories, Chen Xun saw his shortcomings and flaws in archery, and at the same time, he also learned some tips that could make arrows shoot farther and more accurately.

Besides memories, there was a warm current flowing through his arms and eyes.

He subconsciously closed his eyes, feeling as if his eyeballs were soaking in a hot spring—warm and relaxing.

A few seconds later, the heat disappeared, and Chen Xun opened his eyes.

"So clear."

Chen Xun's eyes lit up. He found that his vision had become much clearer. The target, which was originally twenty paces away, was only the size of a fist in his eyes, but now it was the size of two fists.

Then came the arms, where the muscles became more defined and the strength increased.

Chen Xun could only draw the longbow one-third of the way from his original position.

Now, trying again, I can easily pull the line apart by half.

This is a stone bow; to fully draw it, it requires 120 pounds of force.

This bow was left to Chen Xun by his father, but even his father could only draw it fully once or twice; doing so would strain his muscles.

"Excellent, I didn't expect that breaking through in archery would have such benefits."

Chen Xun said excitedly.

However, he soon felt a hunger pang in his stomach.

"What's going on? I just finished breakfast not long ago!"

Chen Xun wondered.

"That's right," he quickly realized, "My archery skills have just improved, and my body has been strengthened. Obviously, this strengthening didn't come out of thin air; the price is the depletion of my internal energy."

Having figured this out, Chen Xun immediately stopped practicing archery and began to eat to replenish his energy.

Fortunately, he made a lot for breakfast, and the extra was for lunch.

After quickly finishing the remaining food, Chen Xun patted his stomach; he was only about half full.

So he cooked another pot of rice, adding a few more slices of cured meat.

This time, I'm finally full.

After washing the dishes, Chen Xun looked at the piece of cured meat that was only two fingers long left and the rice jar that was almost empty, and his expression became slightly serious.

"I need to go buy some food."

"We also need to buy some arrowheads and wooden arrows."

The arrowheads of the twelve arrows in Chen Xun's hand were already somewhat worn.

Then, due to Chen Xun's frantic training over the past few days, the arrowhead was severely worn down.

As for the wooden arrows, they were used to practice archery skills.

Wooden arrows are much cheaper than real arrows, so Chen Xun wasn't too upset if they got damaged.

Although Chen Xun had some money, he had to be careful with it, otherwise he would soon run out of it.

After tidying up the house, Chen Xun went out.

This was, in fact, the first time he had left his own courtyard since his rebirth.
