Immortal Martial Saint, starting with unlimited stat points

Inside the vermilion gate, Zhou Chen stood in the center, looking outwards.

The area outside was shrouded in a gray haze, as if covered by a thick smog.

A few tall buildings could be vaguely seen standing in the thick gray fog.

Tread...  

Stepping over the threshold, which was a full foot high, Zhou Chen landed on the ground outside the courtyard.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Suddenly, as if a gust of wind was blowing, the thick gray fog in front of us was blown away, revealing countless buildings that had been hidden inside.

The most eye-catching and prominent one is an ancient Taoist temple located at the highest point in the center.

The scenery further away was still shrouded in layers of gray mist.

"Is it because of me?" Zhou Chen murmured to himself, looking at the bizarre and colorful scene before him as the fog dissipated.

The next moment, his attention was drawn to two white orbs of light not far away.

"Two breakthrough relics!"

Zhou Chen was overjoyed. Seeing that there were no signs of the plague monster on the road leading to the dense buildings in the distance, he immediately walked quickly towards it.

[Obtained Breakthrough Relic (Beginner) *2]

The moment he encountered the two relic artifacts that had broken through to the next realm, white mist surged around him, enveloping Zhou Chen once again.

When Zhou Chen opened his eyes again, he was back in the real world.

"That was close. If I had been a step slower, I wouldn't have been able to get these two breakthrough relics." Zhou Chen looked at the two breakthrough relics displayed on the panel and felt fortunate.

He still has only a superficial understanding of the mechanisms of the old world.

If you fail to obtain the relic on your first visit, it will be refreshed on your next visit, which would be a huge loss.

As for the white mist that appeared when he entered and exited the old world, and the gray mist that dissipated when he got close to him, he was completely baffled.

"Perhaps we can find some clues in that Taoist temple." Recalling the Taoist temple high in the center after the gray mist dissipated, Zhou Chen couldn't help but speculate.

Archery (Beginner, 18%)

【Zhenyue Stance (Beginner, 0%)】

Zhou Chen frowned as he looked at the only two skills he currently possessed that could directly enhance his strength.

Even if both of the breakthrough relics obtained this time were used, it would be difficult to raise either of them to a higher level.

At the time, raising his archery skills to the beginner level only gave him a 0.1 attribute point bonus.

However, when combined with the range of the bow and arrow, its lethality is even higher than that of the beginner level of the Zhenyue Zhuang (镇岳桩).

In particular, he still needs to rely on archery to hunt. If he improves the Zhenyue Stake, his strength will definitely increase significantly, but his consumption of food will inevitably reach a new level.

"My archery proficiency has already reached 18%. Once I grind it to a quarter of the way, plus three breakthrough relics, I can advance to the next level."

Having decided on his future skill improvement options, Zhou Chen slowly lay down on the hard wooden bed beneath him, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

-----------------

After midnight, the bright moon in the sky was shrouded in a layer of white gauze, and the moonlight, like silver frost hanging on the ground, dimmed a little.

"Young Master Hui, it's time to make a move." Ma Er leaned against the wall of the Zhou family mansion and said to Li Hui beside him.

"Brother Dazhu, if nothing unexpected happens this time, we won't need you to lift a finger. You just need to keep watch for us." Li Hui looked at the tall and strong Zhang Dazhu behind him and felt a sense of security.

"Young Master Hui, I say there's absolutely no need for this. The Zhou family boy has lost his father and can only rely on Old Man Sun for a living. If there's anything you want, just go in."

Zhang Dazhu twisted his neck and said nonchalantly.

When he returned from the hunt today, Ma Er approached him and said that Li Hui wanted to discuss something with him.

He originally thought it was something important, and he thought it would be a good opportunity to help, so that Li Xiong would remember his favor.

But little did he expect that he was looking for trouble with the Zhou family boy who hadn't yet become a martial artist and was standing next to Old Man Sun that day.

Ever since Zhang Dazhu learned the method from Li Xiong and entered the world of martial arts, he had considered himself superior and disdained to compete with ordinary people.

But Li Hui is Li Xiong's most beloved younger brother. If he were to anger Li Xiong and speak ill of him, things would be very bad.

"Brother Dazhu, my mind is made up."

Li Hui looked at the Zhou family mansion with a serious expression, exuding an aura of determination to get back up from where he had fallen.

Zhang Dazhu, feeling rebuffed, fell silent.

The three formed a human ladder and climbed into the courtyard one after another.

"Did you climb in like this last time?"

Before Li Hui could give the order to search the surroundings, a cold voice reached the ears of the three.

"Who!" Ma Er was startled by the sound behind him.

"You've barged into my house again, and you even ask who I am?" Zhou Chen walked out of the inner room with his hands behind his back and smiled at the three of them.

"Ma Er, go!" Li Hui was startled when he saw Zhou Chen appear, but with Zhang Dazhu by his side to keep him in check, he immediately felt reassured.

"Me?" Ma Er's eyes widened, clearly not expecting Li Hui to ask him to take action.

He looked at Zhou Chen's arm, which was much stronger than before, with a troubled expression, turning back every few steps.

"Didn't you say he was at his last gasp?" Li Hui looked at Ma Er with disdain.

He took a half step back, shielding Zhang Dazhu in front of him, and said, "Brother Dazhu, don't kill him, just break his arms and legs."

Zhang Dazhu rubbed his hands together, a surge of anger rising within him as he looked at Zhou Chen's handsome face.

He was born ugly and hated handsome people like Zhou Chen the most.

"Hehehe, kid, Young Master Hui said he'd break your arms and legs."

"If you kneel down and beg me now, I might leave you with one hand or one foot so you can crawl to Old Man Sun and beg him to save your life."

Zhang Dazhu stepped forward, the moonlight shining obliquely behind him, casting a long, slanted shadow, like a tall, fierce beast.

Zhou Chen didn't speak, but also stepped forward, walking towards Zhang Dazhu.

"Good lad!" Zhang Dazhu snorted coldly when he saw that Zhou Chen not only did not beg for mercy, but also wanted to step forward and compete with him.

He suddenly exerted force with both legs, his figure as swift as a cheetah in the mountains, and in an instant he had already run to Zhou Chen.

"Cut it off!"

Zhang Dazhu's skin bulged, and his hands clamped down on Zhou Chen's hands like pincers.

At this moment, Zhou Chen slightly bent his knees, clasped his hands in a circle, and assumed the stance of the Zhenyue Stake.

The giant pillar before them was different from the plague monsters of the old world. He was a skin-training martial artist with decades of hunting experience, and his combat strategy and flexibility far surpassed those of the plague monsters.

Zhou Chen naturally wouldn't be careless.

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Dazhu had rushed to Zhou Chen's face, his hands reaching out to grab him.

Zhou Chen suddenly exerted his strength, his rounded hands slapping out to both sides, just in time to meet Zhang Dazhu's outstretched arms.

"Bang..."

Like a heavy hammer striking a drum, the point where the two men's four hands collided produced a dull thud.

Zhang Dazhu felt as if his arms had collided with metal, a tingling sensation spreading throughout his body, and he immediately stumbled back a few steps.

Looking at the two blood-red marks on his arms, he stared at Zhou Chen in disbelief and said, "Skin Refining Realm!"

When I saw you yesterday, you were clearly just an ordinary person.

Could it be that Li Xiong also gave you a method to advance to the Skin Refining Realm?

Before Zhou Chen could speak, he shook his head vigorously, "Impossible. If Li Xiong were on good terms with you, Li Hui would never target you like this."

He thought of the pain he suffered every sunrise after becoming a skin-training martial artist under Li Xiong's guidance, and his envy intensified.

"No matter how you became a martial artist, you will die here today!" Zhang Dazhu was furious when he saw Zhou Chen's nonchalant demeanor.
