Start your cultivation journey by allocating points to your Destiny.

Lu Chen, his second grandfather Lu Wei, and the brothers Lu Ting and Lu Zhen immediately went to Lu Xiande's house to discuss teaching the villagers martial arts.

Lu Xiande naturally wouldn't refuse.

This is a good thing.

After discussing it, the group decided to start recruiting people that very evening. They first invited respected members of the Lu, Teng, and Luo families to the meeting, briefly explained the matter, and then began to discuss the purchase of meat and grain.

Practicing martial arts requires consuming a lot of food.

Lu Chen came up with an idea.

"We can buy some piglets, and buy chicken and duck eggs to hatch chicks and ducklings. We can set aside a piece of land in the village specifically for raising them, and then find a villager who knows about animal husbandry to take charge. This way, we can save some costs."

"What Xiao Chen said does make sense."

Lu Xiande nodded, and the others also offered their suggestions.

"My brothers and I can go hunting in the mountains more often, and if we organize hunting teams, we can get a bigger catch."

"By the way, this news must be kept a secret. Tell your wife and children clearly that you absolutely cannot tell anyone, not even your wife's family. Keep it a secret for as long as possible!"

……

The next morning, a crowd of people gathered in front of Lu Chen's house.

Most of them were young adults, and there were also a few teenagers who were about the same age as Lu Chen.

Everyone was very excited.

No one could have imagined that Lu Chen would know martial arts techniques, and even be willing to teach them to the entire village!

"Everyone's here? Have you eaten yet? If not, go back and eat first. Later, take your knives and hoes and come with me to find a place that we can level out and use as a training ground. It should be a secluded spot."

Lu Chen addressed the crowd at the door.

Several burly men who were respected in the village immediately nodded and called to the others, and they left in a large group.

After finishing his meal, Lu Chen went to the school first. After teaching a few characters, he asked Lu Ming to lead everyone in reading them aloud.

Lu Chen bought a few primers, and Teng Chuan also contributed a few; that's enough for the students.

When he arrived outside the school, there were already people waiting for him.

"Have you found a place?"

Lu Chen looked at the boy in front of him. He was a distant cousin of Lu Chen named Lu Tao, who was a year younger than him.

"Brother Chen, Uncle Huaiyi has found a place behind the village, near Daqingshan Mountain. It's very secluded and quite large. I'll take you there!"

When they arrived at the place, everyone was already working, cutting down trees, pulling weeds, digging soil and carrying stones, all working very hard.

Lu Chen glanced at the location; it was indeed quite secluded.

This is inside the village. There's no road behind, and you have to go through a row of trees and turn a corner to get here. In other words, people from outside the village have to go through the entire village to get here. Moreover, the sound is blocked by layers of trees, so you can hardly hear anything outside.

The place is also very spacious, and it can easily accommodate two or three hundred people.

Some people had considered cultivating this land before, but the area was too rocky, the soil was infertile, the roads were difficult to navigate, and water could not be transported, so they had to give up.

Two or three hundred strong men from the whole village worked together, with some women and children helping out, and they worked very quickly.

In just one day, the weeds and trees here disappeared, and the ground was almost completely restored.

The next day, Lu Chen continued working and also bought a lot of bricks, stones and timber to build a shed next to the field. It was used to store some training equipment and weapons, and it was also convenient for drinking water and going to the toilet.

The ground was covered with a layer of yellow soil and compacted with wooden stakes.

They worked for three or four days in a row.

Lu Chen also sent people to buy a lot of piglets, eggs and duck eggs from other places, and entrusted the breeding to Lu Xiande and Lu Wei.

He continues to teach every day without having to worry about the venue.

The villagers had also witnessed Lu Chen's martial prowess.

He shot an arrow through a wooden stake as thick as an arm a hundred paces away, shattered a hard pebble with a punch, and leaped more than two zhang high!

Having witnessed this superhuman power, everyone was filled with longing and enthusiasm to learn such skills themselves.

On the fourth day, after class, Lu Chen suddenly heard a notification sound.

Under the host's guidance and impetus, the fates of thirty-four people, including Lu Chengzong and Lu Yaozu, have changed.

[Stage Life Points Calculation: 34]

"After attending classes diligently for a few days, you're getting a reward again?"

Lu Chen smiled.

A slow and steady approach is also good.

"Looking at the panel, it's been a long time since I've upgraded any of the other stats. Since the 'Dissecting Ox' technique is still in short supply, I might as well upgrade the other stats."

With these thoughts in mind, Lu Chen opened the panel.

Name: Lu Chen

Age: Sixteen

[Hit Value: 2761]

[Luck Value: 59]

[Entry: Cured, Normal Nutrition, Strong and Healthy, Fairly Capable]

[Skill Attributes: Throwing Mastery (25%), Agile Footwork Mastery (10%), Abundant Strength Mastery (8%), Introductory Level of Teaching and Imparting Skills (5%), Ox-Dissecting Knife Technique (Marrow Cleansing Realm); Rolling Stone Fist, Formation-Breaking Spear, Soul-Severing Blade, Wind-Chasing Sword, Eight-Direction Step, Rapid Fire Arrow (Introductory Level)]

"Huh, I'm sixteen? When was my birthday? Sixteen is considered an adult in this world, right?"

Lu Chen suddenly discovered that his age had changed to 16.

It's not that he doesn't remember his birthday, it's just that he rarely thinks about it intentionally.

Just like in Earth time, he celebrates his birthday according to the lunar calendar. He often forgets the date and has to wait for his parents to call to remember.

Now that you're an adult, it's time to do things like an adult!

System, add points!

Perfect throw (100%)

Life value -275.

"Can this healing effect be upgraded? What will it become after upgrading?"

Lu Chen clicked twice out of curiosity.

Healed - Self-healing - Rapid recovery.

Life value -110.

[Accelerates recovery speed by 50% after physical injury or depletion of energy]

Lu Chen's eyes lit up.

This effect is pretty amazing!

If we keep adding points, wouldn't we never have to worry about running out of energy when fighting against others in the future?

It's like carrying a power bank with you, the more you play, the more energetic you get, it's a battery life wonder!

"With some stat boosts, it's acceptable!"

Life value -100.

Qualifications range from acceptable to excellent.

Outstanding among its kind, one in a hundred.

Next, he spent another 600 points to upgrade all six of the newly learned techniques, breaking through to the Bronze Skin Realm.

Almost instantly, Lu Chen felt his muscles tighten more and more, and then slowly become more elastic.

"The improvement wasn't as significant as the first time, but with six consecutive upgrades to different techniques, the combined effect was still quite strong."

He picked up a stone from the ground, pinched it between his thumb and forefinger, and with all his might, the stone shattered.

If this were human bones, they would have been crushed by now.

"Right now, my strength is more than twice that of an ordinary Marrow Cleansing Realm cultivator! My strength alone is more than 1.5 times that of an ordinary Marrow Cleansing Realm cultivator. I wouldn't say I can crush them, but at least I can face no pressure when I encounter someone of the same realm."

He glanced at the panel and felt something was off.

That's right, the nutrition is normal.

All the other entries have been marked with dots, but this one hasn't.

"Adding some nutrition is normal."

Normal nutrition - sufficient nutrition - abundant qi and blood.

Life value -110.

Just as the entry changed to "full of Qi and blood," Lu Chen, who had already closed the panel, suddenly heard a crisp "ding" from the system.

"Host entry detected to meet initial special physique fusion conditions - [Mixed Body], fusion proceed?"

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.

Special physical condition?

Is it the kind of physique he imagined, such as a holy body, a Dao body, or a hegemonic body?

He quickly confirmed, "Merge!"

Almost instantly, he saw that his panel was much cleaner.

The four newly added attributes – Rapid Recovery, Abundant Blood and Qi, Strong Body, and Abundant Strength – disappeared, and a gray attribute appeared.

Life value -624.

Life value -59.

[Primary Level of Primordial Body] (Divided into four levels: beginner, intermediate, advanced, and perfect; currently, the unlocking conditions have not been met)

"What the hell? Do I need to unlock it? Is this a XunTeng product?"

He looked unwell and checked on him.

Unlocking requires 1000 points of Fate and 100 points of Luck.

He has now completely lost all his points and is even in debt.

Life value -376.

Luck value -41.

"Damn it! This is impossible to guard against! All that hard work for so long, and suddenly I'm back to square one!"
