I can enjoy the Mythic card pool all to myself

Suddenly, the cicadas sing in the rain, gently washing the green bamboo.

The caravan hurried along the rugged mountain path, with bamboo groves swaying on both sides, their soft rustling sound like human voices.

The crowd thronged around a pitch-black coffin, their steps hurried, not daring to linger for even a moment.

After traveling for most of the day, the group was starving and their legs were aching.

However, in order to reach Liusha River before dark, the group did not stop to rest for even a moment.

They had no choice but to hurry along, fumbling for their provisions and stuffing them haphazardly into their mouths to fill their bellies.

Ma Duxiu pulled out half a hard, dry flatbread from his pocket, which looked rather unrefined.

However, everyone present was a rough and rugged man who had been through many adventures in the martial arts world, and they were already used to this kind of thing. No one cared about such trivial details.

The weather was unpredictable, and mountain rain could come at any time.

Most people would keep their dry food close to their body to prevent it from getting wet and moldy from rain.

The half-eaten pancake in Ma Duxiu's arms was leftover from when they rested at the dilapidated temple last night.

Because it had been kept close to my body, it still retained a faint warmth.

Ma Duxiu took a bite of the flatbread, and the dry, hard crumbs of dough scattered in his mouth.

She struggled to swallow the crumbs with her saliva, and as she looked up, she suddenly noticed that Fang Chang beside her had not eaten anything.

"Young Master Fang, why don't you eat something to tide you over?"

She barely hesitated before tearing off a large portion of the pancake and handing it directly to Fang Chang.

"this……"

Fang raised an eyebrow slightly, intending to refuse.

But then he thought about it again. He had been practicing traveling alone for thousands of miles along the way, and his physical strength had been greatly depleted. He really needed to replenish his strength.

So he swallowed back the refusal that was on the tip of his tongue, and nodded with a faint smile.

"Then thank you very much, Miss Ma."

Fang Chang looked calm and showed no sign of disdain.

He took the still-warm flatbread, and slowly swallowed it, sip by sip, along with the medicinal wine from the saber.

It was only at this point that Ma Duxiu belatedly realized what was happening.

She actually gave her leftover rations to Young Master Fang, which was far too abrupt and impolite.

Ma Duxiu's cheeks flushed instantly, his ears burned, and he spoke hesitantly:

"Young Master Fang, you're too kind. If that's not enough, I have more..."

Her voice was barely audible, mingling with the sounds of wind, rain, and bamboo groves, and Fang Chang didn't notice it at all.

He finished the pancake in a few bites, which barely filled his stomach but relieved his hunger a little.

Fang Chang then focused all his attention back on his solo journey.

"I have thoroughly understood and mastered the beginner-level concept of traveling alone for a thousand miles."

"It's time to use the basic lightness skill I drew earlier to advance the 'Thousand Miles Alone' technique to a minor mastery level."

Fang Chang had previously drawn eight basic light-foot skills in ten consecutive draws.

He didn't incorporate all those basic light-foot skills into the Thousand Miles Solo Journey.

Instead, he plans to first thoroughly understand and solidify his foundation by mastering the basics of "Walking Alone for a Thousand Miles" before attempting further advancement.

This approach can prevent the disadvantage of not having a solid foundation in martial arts training.

[Should the build focus on the "Lone Wanderer" (dark green) skill, while also covering 8 low-level light-foot techniques?]

With a thought, Fang Chang's experience and insights from the eight white-themed light-body martial arts manuals instantly flooded into Qianli Duxing.

In an instant, his skill in traveling alone for thousands of miles improved rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Each second-rate martial arts manual on light footwork provides 20% more proficiency for Thousand Miles Alone.

With eight books stacked together, the proficiency reached a full 160%, not only bringing the "Wandering Alone" skill to the minor mastery level, but also putting it just one step away from the major mastery level.

The beginner's "A Thousand Miles Alone" technique simply improved his movement speed.

After reaching a certain level of proficiency, his movements became even more agile, allowing him to move as smoothly as if walking on flat ground, as steady as Mount Tai, no matter what environment he was in.

Of course, that's not the most important thing!

What truly surprised Fang Chang was that after breaking through to the minor level of mastery in the Thousand Mile Journey, he actually gained a new trait!

[A solo journey of a thousand miles to achieve minor success unlocks the trait: Swift as the Wind (Green)]

【Swift as the Wind (Green): Agile and powerful footwork; when using light-footed skills, one can slowly recover one's physical strength.】

"Restore stamina?"

Upon seeing this, Fang Chang's eyes lit up.

Before he could think it over carefully, he quickly felt the changes brought about by his swift movements.

As he traveled alone for thousands of miles, step by step, his legs, which had been slightly sore, experienced a significant relief.

Most people get more tired as they walk, but he became more energetic as he walked, and his physical strength not only did not deplete, but became more abundant.

At first glance, Swift as the Wind is just a green trait, which doesn't seem very strong.

But in terms of practicality, it's ridiculously strong!

With this trait, long journeys became as simple as eating and drinking for him in the future.

"It turns out that the previously empty trait slots on the panel can be unlocked by practicing martial arts."

"Looking at it this way, it seems the more martial arts skills the better."

"In the future, I must find a way to learn all kinds of martial arts and unlock as many useful traits as possible..."

Fang Chang made up his mind and then pulled up his current panel.

"It's become much more luxurious than before..."

"Next, all we need to do is reach the Flowing Sand River, capture the dragon, and then we can be completely transformed."

Fang Chang nodded slightly, a thought flickering in his mind.

Just then, the man with the sword leading the way suddenly stopped.

He bent down close to the ground, listened intently for a moment, his expression becoming extremely solemn, and then turned back to say in a deep voice:

"We can hear fighting going on not far ahead, and it seems to be heading this way..."

Upon hearing this, the bodyguards swallowed hard, instinctively thinking they had encountered highway robbers.

"Father, should we go around it?" Ma Duxiu asked with a worried expression.

"this……"

Ma Dao glanced at the dense bamboo groves on both sides, his tone hesitant, unable to make up his mind for a moment.

If you want to take a detour, you can only go through the forest.

But they were still holding the coffin, so they moved slowly.

Under these circumstances, trying to reach Liusha River before dark was nothing short of a pipe dream.

But if we don't take the detour, the road ahead is fraught with danger and unknown.

If you really encounter some bad people, losing your belongings is a small matter, but losing your life would be a great regret!

Thinking of this, Ma Dao gritted his teeth and decided to direct everyone to take a detour through the forest.

Unexpectedly, Fang Chang, who had been observing coldly, suddenly spoke up calmly:

"Just go straight ahead, no need to take a detour..."
