Immortal Martial Saint, starting with unlimited stat points

[Obtained Breakthrough Relic (Beginner) *1]

As the mist appeared and then dissipated before his eyes, Zhou Chen recalled the appearance of the main hall of the temple in the old world, his gaze deep and unfathomable.

Inside the main hall, there are two places where statues of gods are enshrined, but both are empty.

Like the shrine in the courtyard he passed through, the throne was covered with a thick layer of gold dust, which must have been left behind when the statue turned to dust.

The relic of the breakthrough realm that Zhou Chen discovered through his spiritual tracking outside the hall was not on the two divine thrones, but next to the futon in front of the divine statue.

Or perhaps it was left behind by a martial artist who came to offer incense and worship the gods.

There are two statues of deities enshrined in the temple of the Howling Celestial Dog, and the owner of the other one is undoubtedly Erlang Shen.

"I wonder how powerful Erlang Shen's supernatural abilities are."

Zhou Chen stretched his body, and his body crackled like popping beans.

"A ghost!"

He silently recited the mantra, and a golden light appeared in his eyes. The familiar scene of the courtyard suddenly changed.

The empty sky was divided into a variety of colors, the most conspicuous of which were sparse white dots of light.

Zhou Chen subconsciously reached out to grab it, but it was like sand slipping through his fingers, impossible to grasp even a fraction of it.

At the same time, a faint smell of blood wafted into my nostrils.

His gaze swept over the unskinned rabbit and the wild boar meat stored in the deep well.

In the Old World, psychic abilities could be used to find the scent of relics, and in the Real World, they can also provide incredibly keen insight, exponentially enhancing vision and smell.

The next moment, he picked up the longbow that was placed beside him.

Draw the bow and nock the arrow.

As the arrow was released, it shot straight out and hit the center of the target.

He was an expert archer, and with a focused mind, he could hit the bullseye every time within fifty paces.

Looking at the target that had been moved forty paces away, he had a clear understanding of the proficiency level of archery.

"What if we use psychic abilities to assist us?"

Zhou Chen placed the target at the corner of the courtyard wall and stood diagonally opposite the target.

In this way, the two are a full sixty paces apart.

Even with his current level of archery proficiency, he would still miss.

With the activation of the spirit tracking, information such as wind speed and temperature in the surrounding environment was clearly detected, and even the hemp rope wrapped around the target that had just been placed sixty paces away was clearly discerned.

He drew his bow again and shot an arrow.

The arrow shot straight out and landed exactly where the previous arrow had hit.

"It can go even further," Zhou Chen thought to himself.

He was an expert archer, able to hit the bullseye every time within fifty paces.

If one were to use their spiritual abilities, they should be able to hit a target from a hundred paces away.

After testing his archery skills amplified by his teleportation ability, Zhou Chen nodded with satisfaction.

With his unparalleled archery skills and his masterful physical strength, he was an extremely terrifying hunter as long as he had a bow and arrow in hand.

[Zhenyue Stake Progress +1]

The next day, Zhou Chen relaxed his stance from the Zhenyue Stake and quickly washed up.

After eating three servings of wild boar meat, Zhou Chen patted his half-full belly and carried the cloud pine rabbit he had hunted the day before toward Uncle Sun's house.

A moment later, Zhou Chen arrived at the Sun family's residence and happened to meet Uncle Sun packing his gear to go into the mountains.

"Xiao Chen, you've hunted another rabbit?" Uncle Sun, who had finished tidying up his equipment, greeted Zhou Chen cheerfully as he brought over the Cloud Pine Rabbit.

It seems that yesterday's harvest was quite good.

"I'll have to trouble Uncle Sun to handle this."

Zhou Chen handed the Cloud Pine Rabbit to Aunt Sun without any hesitation.

"Okay, I'll skin it when I get back tonight."

The two walked and talked, and soon they reached the entrance of the village.

Uncle Sun looked Zhou Chen up and down and said, "Little Chen, you've recovered your health and now you have a very good appearance."

"Come with me to the county town another day. Who knows, I might catch the eye of some rich girl and become a phoenix rising from the ashes."

He noticed at the market yesterday that Zhou Chen's body had become much stronger than before.

Zhou Chen's original body had extremely poor aptitude for martial arts and was often ill, so he was always listless and looked tired.

Now, without anyone noticing, he has become quite robust, his sunken cheeks have become fuller, and his temperament is quite different, with an upward youthful spirit between his brows.

Anyone who comes will praise him as a handsome young man.

Zhou Chen ignored Uncle Sun's teasing and changed the subject, saying, "Uncle Sun, I would like to go into the inner mountain with you today."

He has already mastered the art of skin-training and his archery skills have reached the proficiency level. If he were to activate his spiritual tracking ability, he could hit a target from a hundred paces away. His strength is no less than that of Uncle Sun, so he naturally had the idea of ​​going to the inner mountain.

The inner mountains contain low-level demonic beasts and spiritual herbs; a single hunt there can yield several times more than the hunt in the outer mountains.

"Uchiyama?" Uncle Sun looked at Zhou Chen with a puzzled expression.

"Xiao Chen, you've become a martial artist?"

"Um."

The moment Zhou Chen responded, a large hand, like a palm leaf fan, reached out and pinched his shoulder.

Instinctively, Zhou Chen swayed his shoulder, brushing past Uncle Sun's hand.

"Good reaction!" Uncle Sun was not surprised but pleased, and immediately attacked again, as if to test Zhou Chen's strength.

Bang bang bang!

In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged several punches, each one more forceful than the last.

"Good! Good! Good! Brother Zhou has a successor." After trying a few rounds, Uncle Sun's hands trembled slightly behind his back, his words filled with satisfaction.

Since Zhou Chen had already demonstrated the strength to enter the inner mountain, Sun Feng was naturally happy to bring him along.

Fortunately, he had recently found traces of a demon beast that was also at the Great Perfection of Skin Refinement. If he could hunt it down, his son would no longer have to worry about the medicinal herbs needed to strengthen his body.

For the hunters of Cangsong Village, reaching the level of a martial artist mostly relies on daily hard work and training.

Therefore, most of them are only at the level of skin refining. Without martial arts techniques, they can only hunt monsters of the same level by using traps or ambushes.

Even so, when conducting a formal hunt, multiple people are usually involved to ensure safety.

Sun Feng had previously mostly worked with Zhou Chen's father, but now he was all alone. In order to maintain his safety, he could only hunt monsters that were at the initial stage of skin refining, resulting in a significant decrease in his income.

Now that Zhou Chen has entered the ranks of martial artists, even though he is only at the initial stage of skin refining, the two of them can hunt a lot more prey together.

Tatata!

Both of them possessed the strength to master skin-training, and the rugged and difficult roads that were difficult for ordinary hunters were just ordinary for them.

In less than half an hour, the trees beside the two became thicker and thicker, their broad canopies tightly connected, blocking out only a few rays of sunlight.

"Is this Uchiyama?"

Zhou Chen activated his spiritual tracking ability, and his nose twitched slightly as a fishy, ​​foul odor, different from that of the outer mountains, wafted over.

The scent of a monster?

"That's right, this area is the boundary between the inner and outer mountains. If we go any further, we will officially enter the inner mountain." As they entered the inner mountain area, Sun Feng's expression became serious.

For a martial artist like him who has mastered the art of skin-refining techniques, the outer mountains are open to the elements, and he can roam freely at night.

However, even during the day, one may encounter powerful monsters in the inner mountains, so caution is advised.

Sun Feng walked ahead, occasionally checking the markings on the trees to find his way.

He had been tracking a bear demon at the Skin Refining Realm for several days, and could reach its lair by following the tree markings.

Footsteps crunched over the broad, decaying leaves, making a rustling sound that became the only noise in this deep mountain forest.

Along the way, Zhou Chen frequently activated his spirit tracking to detect the differences in the environment of various areas, and listened to Sun Feng explain how to set up roadside traps. The screen would occasionally pop up with a "[Trap Proficiency +1]" notification, which made him feel happy.

Suddenly, Sun Feng turned sideways and hid behind a tree, slowly crouching down and slowing his breathing.

We're almost at the bear demon's lair.

Zhou Chen squatted down and, with his naked eye, saw a black bear cub, about half a person's height, resting in the distance.

Behind them, a deep cave emitted a pungent stench that blew towards the two people with a gust of wind.
