From breaking the limits of archery to achieving martial arts godhood

Archery (Proficient 26%)

This is the result of Chen Xun's three days of archery practice in the bamboo forest.

For the past three days, Chen Xun has spent most of his time in the bamboo forest.

I only go home to sleep at night.

At noon, he would take a nap in the bamboo forest, and the lunch he ate was prepared in advance in the morning.

Because of Chen Xun's diligent cultivation, that little bit of black ointment was used up very quickly, and it was all gone in no time.

So Chen Xun asked his aunt Chen Yumo for another serving.

At the same time, Chen Xun suggested spending money to buy more ointments.

Chen Yumo naturally disagreed, and was even somewhat displeased: "Xiao Xun, what are you doing? Is your aunt the kind of person who nitpicks?"

Chen Xun quickly explained, "Aunt, if it were only once or twice, I certainly wouldn't have done that."

"But my nephew will be practicing archery for a long time, and he will need a lot of ointment."

"This ointment is quite extraordinary; it must have cost a certain amount to produce. I need a large quantity, so if you keep giving it to me for free, are you going to keep subsidizing me?"

At this point, Chen Yumo fell silent.

Even if she is very close to Chen Xun, she still has to consider her husband's thoughts, and she also has two children to raise.

Finally, Chen Xun and Chen Yumo reached an agreement to purchase the black ointment for thirty coins per dose.

The black ointment had no name; it was something Grandpa Chen Wang obtained by chance and was passed down through generations.

One serving weighs about one ounce, and the cost price is around thirty coins.

It can be said that Chen Yumo did not earn a single penny from Chen Xun.

Use it freely; Chen Xun can finish one copy in just three days.

Chen Wang usually takes half a month to finish one serving.

This shows just how intense Chen Xun's training was.

"Thirty coins for three days, that's three hundred coins a month. I haven't even started practicing martial arts yet, and my expenses are already out of control."

In the bamboo forest, looking at the black ointment on his finger, Chen Xun sighed silently.

I then applied it to my somewhat red and swollen arms.

Then came a series of rubbing motions until the stiff arms gradually softened.

After applying the ointment, Chen Xun rested for ten minutes until the burning sensation on his arm gradually subsided. Then, he stood up and continued practicing archery.

Thirty paces away from him, a target the size of a head was embedded in a bamboo stalk as thick as a thigh.

There is a red dot about the size of a thumb in the center of the target; that is the bullseye.

The bullseye has many tiny white dots, all made by the wooden arrows.

With a "whoosh," Chen Xun drew his bow and nocked an arrow. The wooden arrow, like a bullet, quickly hit the target.

However, because the wooden arrows lacked iron tips, they could not penetrate the target and instead fell to the ground after colliding with it.

As Chen Xun shot arrow after arrow, soon a pile of wooden arrows accumulated beneath the target.

Chen Xun's archery experience points also increased rapidly with each wooden arrow he shot.

However, for every percentage point increase in archery skill, the required experience points have increased to 20.

Therefore, although Chen Xun's archery practice efficiency improved, his progress in archery skills actually slowed down.

Just as Chen Xun was concentrating on practicing archery, a figure quietly appeared in the bamboo forest.

This person was a hundred meters away from Chen Xun, carefully observing him.

Watching Chen Xun's skillful archery movements, a hint of jealousy flashed in Chen Feng's eyes.

"Damn it, if it weren't for your deadbeat father, I'd be a hunter by now."

He cursed inwardly.

This person was none other than Chen Xun's cousin, Chen Feng.

Influenced by his father, Chen Feng also harbored resentment towards Chen Xun and his son, believing that they had stolen his rightful hunter position.

Therefore, Chen Ji only told him about his plan to deal with Chen Xun.

The father and son had been plotting to harm Chen Xun again.

Knowing that Chen Xun was practicing archery in this bamboo forest, Chen Feng secretly came to observe him today.

"Is there any way to make it look like his death was accidental?"

Chen Feng stared at Chen Xun's retreating figure, deep in thought.

After thinking for a long time, Chen Feng still couldn't come up with a good solution.

He then prepared to leave first and go back to discuss it with his father.

After Chen Feng left, Chen Xun continued practicing archery, unaware that Chen Feng was secretly watching him.

This is normal. At a distance of 100 meters, how could Chen Xun possibly notice? Even a martial artist might not be able to notice.

That evening, Chen Feng told Chen Ji about it.

Chen Ji had no better ideas, so he simply told Chen Feng to keep an eye on Chen Xun.

This surveillance lasted for seven days.

Whenever he had free time, Chen Feng would sneak into the bamboo forest and secretly spy on Chen Xun, like a lovesick fool.

His repeated spying gradually made Chen Xun aware of his presence.

On this day, Chen Xun practiced archery as usual.

Archery (Proficient 98%)

If Chen Xun's progress increases by two more points, his archery skills will be upgraded again.

To ensure the upgrade went smoothly, Chen Xun prepared a hearty meal in the morning.

Half a pound of stewed meat and three pounds of millet rice.

It's so that when you break through a barrier, you can replenish the energy you've used up in time.

Soon, after shooting 40 arrows in a row, his archery skills progressed from 98% proficient to 1% minor proficiency.

The next moment, streams of memories flooded into Chen Xun's mind.

Two streams of energy appeared in his body, one flowing into his eyes and the other into his arms.

During the enhancement process, Chen Xun's five senses were strengthened like never before.

It was at this moment that he finally pinpointed the source of that faint gaze.

Then, he suddenly turned his head, his eyes gleaming, staring intently at a spot a hundred meters away.

There, a dark figure met Chen Xun's gaze, then seemed startled and scrambled away.

Chen Xun did not give chase.

"It's Chen Feng."

With his exceptional eyesight, he could clearly see the panic on Chen Feng's face even from a distance of 100 meters.

Clearly, the other party did not expect Chen Xun to suddenly turn around.

"If we have the chance, we must solve this problem."

A hint of killing intent flashed in Chen Xun's eyes.

But soon, he was completely consumed by the intense hunger in his stomach.

Chen Xun hurriedly went to the lunchbox, opened it, and began to wolf down his food.

In just a few minutes, half a pound of meat and three pounds of rice were all gone.

Chen Xun patted his belly contentedly.

After the food was digested, Chen Xun began to check the enhancement effects he had received.

Firstly, in terms of strength, his arms had grown significantly larger, exuding a powerful aura.

Chen Xun drew his bow, pulling it with all his might until it was as full as a moon.

"Haha, okay."

Chen Xun looked excited.

Then, he slowly released the bowstring, and then drew it to its full length.

After doing this three times, Chen Xun stopped, his arm trembling slightly.

Pulling the trigger three times is the limit of Chen Xun's current power.

This power is now almost the same as that of his predecessor, the hunter father.

But you have to understand that the other party is in the prime of his life, while Chen Xun is only 14 years old.

Then there's vision. Forty paces away, what was originally a target the size of a fist in Chen Xun's eyes is now the size of his head.

The target was only the size of a head.

This means that Chen Xun almost ignored the forty-step distance and saw the target directly.

Such eyesight is already quite remarkable.

Finally, there's archery.

During his breakthrough, Chen Xun gained a memory that allowed him to learn a special archery technique.

Chen Xun nocked the arrow and drew the bow. As if his body had muscle memory, he naturally assumed a bow stance and stabilized his body.

Then, an arrow was shot.

A sharper sound than usual rang out, followed by a deep, resonant sound.

The wooden arrowhead was embedded straight into the bullseye of the target.

Upon seeing this, Chen Xun's face first showed surprise, and then joy.

"Impressive. With this technique, even a wooden arrow in my hands can be just as lethal as a real arrow."

This is the archery technique Chen Xun learned from his memories, which enhances the lethality of arrows through special power generation methods.

Chen Xun named this move "Armor-Shattering Arrow".

Chen Xun hoped that he could use this move in the future to break through iron armor with wooden arrows.
