High-level martial arts: Invincibility starts with basic archery.

Chapter 101 Since you insist, I'll use a gun then (Please subscribe)

Not far away, Wang Ping and the others, who had finished practicing their marksmanship and were resting, saw Chen Fan practicing his swordsmanship and their faces showed longing.

"Is Brother Fan practicing swordsmanship again?"

"Yes, that's amazing. They can actually learn so many martial arts techniques."

"If only we had half his level of understanding."

"I don't need half, a quarter will do."

Wang Ping said weakly.

Gu Ze also looked over, a complex expression in his eyes.

This guy, didn't he already learn marksmanship? Does he have to learn knife skills too? And if you include fist techniques, just how much has he learned?

What's most infuriating is that his archery skills are the most terrifying.

Even he felt a chill run down his spine at the thought of what happened at noon.

"No, I need to work even harder!"

He clenched his fist.

After these days of training, coupled with ample food, he felt that he might be able to draw a bow with a draw weight of 100 jin in the next day or two.

Chen Guodong, Liu Yong, and others were also full of enthusiasm. After all, the younger generation was working so hard, they couldn't possibly perform worse than these young people, could they?

Chen Fan was completely unaware of his surroundings, as he was fully immersed in practicing his swordsmanship.

The proficiency in [Basic Knife Techniques] is also steadily increasing at a rate of 0.3% per second.

Half an hour later, his clothes were completely soaked with sweat.

An hour passed, and it felt like I had taken a bath in water.

"Huff, huff..."

Chen Fan was panting heavily. He had been wielding his knife on and off for an hour, and even he was exhausted.

Fortunately, there isn't much skill required, so the basic knife skills level can be improved.

After another downward strike, a faint warm current rose again.

Chen Fan put down his knife, let out a long sigh, and looked at the skill bar.

[Basic Swordsmanship: lv2 (0%), Traits: Powerful Lv2, Fierce Assault Lv2]

No new features appeared, but that was within his expectations.

Three levels away.

Chen Fan silently recited in his heart.

The blood-activating properties of Tai Chi are slowly taking effect, although the speed is still a bit slow for him.

"How about we take Tai Chi to the next level?"

He thought to himself that he still had a fair amount of experience points, and if he could upgrade his Vitality to level 2, he could reduce his rest time by half again.

In addition, it can also bring a lot of attribute points, which can be used to prepare for learning other martial arts.

He made up his mind.

I invested some experience points into Tai Chi.

The progress bar seemed to reluctantly get up, move up a little, and then stop moving.

It increased by 1%.

"good."

Chen Fan nodded. He only needed 100 points, so he didn't hesitate and invested 99 experience points.

Instantly, a trembling sound rang out from all the bones in his body, and a warm current surged through his entire body. However, compared to the last time, the commotion was much smaller.

Apart from that, nothing else seems to have appeared.

Chen Fan frowned slightly and looked at the skill bar.

[Zhang Style Tai Chi: Entering the Inner Chamber (0.1%), Characteristics: Longevity Level 3, Strength Level 3, Agility Level 3, Blood Circulation Level 2]

Indeed, no new features have been introduced.

However, the speed of physical recovery has become significantly faster.

This made him a little envious. Should he take Tai Chi to the next level?

The next level of proficiency after entering a new realm is mastery.

After much deliberation, he decided not to rush. After all, he needed to max out the Meteor Arrow Technique, and his agility was a weakness. He also needed to max out the Lightness Skill Water Skimming as soon as possible. If he then upgraded Tai Chi to the highest level, he probably wouldn't have enough experience points.

After resting for more than ten minutes, Chen Fan stood up from the stool, gripped the knife handle, and slashed down fiercely.

[Basic Swordsmanship] Having reached level 2, his every move is already quite imposing.

However, the proficiency level increased by less than 0.1%...

He repeated the other actions one by one, and the largest increase was only 0.12%.

Chen Fan took a deep breath. He could now complete a movement in one or two seconds, 60 movements per minute, and his proficiency would increase by 4-5%, which seemed like a lot. If he practiced for one minute and rested for one minute, he could improve by one level in less than an hour. However, it was very tiring.

Moreover, once you reach level 3, the time will probably double.

"Let's go find Uncle Zhang."

He silently sheathed his knife and walked towards Zhang Ren.

A short while later, a familiar scene played out again.

Chen Fan and Zhang Ren each held a wooden sword and stood facing each other.

This time, however, not many people gathered to watch.

"bring it on."

Zhang Ren spoke up.

Although he wasn't skilled in swordsmanship, he was confident that dealing with a beginner who hadn't been practicing swordsmanship for long shouldn't be a problem.

"Um, Uncle Zhang."

Chen Fan scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "I feel like I've gotten a lot stronger lately. I should be able to draw a bow with a 300-pound draw weight now."

"You...you've broken through?"

Zhang Ren's previously calm face revealed a look of shock.

Beyond the third level of Body Tempering lies the Flesh Refining Realm, meaning this kid is already a Flesh Refining Martial Artist.

"possible?"

Chen Fan scratched his head, "I remember when I was fighting the bandits, I was in dire straits, and at the critical moment, a powerful force surged out of my body, and I instantly regained my strength."

After all, only by going all out can one's proficiency increase quickly. Therefore, firstly, hiding his strength would be a losing proposition, and secondly, even if he wanted to, the latter would definitely see through him, so it's better to reveal his true strength from the beginning.

"Could it be that they broke through at a critical moment?"

Zhang Ren frowned.

This possibility is quite high, because he experienced it firsthand.

Many experienced people have repeatedly reminded us that the human body is like a treasure trove, hiding infinite potential. The more critical the moment, the easier it is for the body's hidden potential to be activated.

Of course, if those facing life and death are so panicked that they lose their minds, or simply close their eyes and wait for death, it is highly unlikely that they will be able to unleash these potentials.

"You don't need to hold back later, I'll take a look for you."

"Yes, thank you, Uncle Zhang!"

Chen Fan didn't hold back. After speaking, he took a step forward and stabbed Zhang Ren in the chest with his knife.

"!"

Zhang Ren's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly held the blade upright in front of him.

"Snapped!"

A crisp, clear sound rang out as the tip of the blade struck the blade. Zhang Ren's hand remained motionless, like a reef standing on the shore.

On the contrary, Chen Fan felt his hands were numb and unbearable.

"good."

Just then, Zhang Ren's voice slowly rang out, "Your strength and speed have indeed reached the level of the Body Refinement Realm, especially your strength attribute, which is not much different from those martial artists who have just entered the middle stage of Body Refinement."

"Yeah?"

Chen Fan looked surprised and quickly asked, "Uncle Zhang, what exactly is 'almost'? What fraction is it?"

"What fraction?"

Zhang Ren was a little surprised by this statement, but after thinking about it, he replied, "About one-fifth."

One-fifth.

A smile appeared on Chen Fan's face.

After upgrading his [Basic Swordsmanship] and [Tai Chi Fist] skills, he glanced at his attribute panel. There was still no plus sign after his realm, which meant that he had not yet reached the minimum threshold for a realm breakthrough.

According to Uncle Zhang, the strength value of a martial artist who has just entered the mid-stage of the Body Refinement realm is only around one hundred points? And so on, the requirements for other attributes are also the same.

His physical attributes have already reached 97 points, and it will soon be clear that he will break through the attribute value requirements for the mid-stage of the Body Refinement realm.

Oh, and basic knife skills proficiency.

He hurriedly looked down.

Suddenly, my proficiency increased by 0.5%!

"Uncle Zhang, I'm about to begin the attack."

Chen Fan said impatiently.

"bring it on."

Zhang Ren nodded.

Now that Chen Fan is already a martial artist at the Body Refining Realm, he will continue to control his strength at this level.

Chen Fan rushed forward again, his wooden sword arcing through the air as he slashed at Zhang Ren.

Zhang Ren parried with his knife.

The wooden swords clashed, producing another crisp sound.

Just like last time, Chen Fan attacked while Zhang Ren blocked.

"Uncle Zhang doesn't seem as relaxed as last time?"

Wang Ping stood not far away, looking at this place, and muttered to himself.

"Yes, I can tell, it's a bit strenuous."

"Brother Fan's attacks are fierce. It feels like he's a completely different person when he uses a knife compared to when he uses a gun or arrow."

"Yes, when he uses a gun, he feels as steady as Uncle Zhang, but when he uses an arrow, he gives people an extremely dangerous feeling."

"Indeed, it's fair to say that no one would be happy to be aimed at with an arrow."

The group chatted amongst themselves, each taking turns speaking.

Zhang Ren felt a bit strained at this moment, but more than that, he felt frustrated.

Because he can only defend.

Unfortunately, the knife was not a weapon he was good at, which made it a kind of torment.

However, if doing so would allow Chen Fan to improve rapidly, he would be willing to accept it.

Just then, Chen Fan stopped his attack.

"What's wrong?"

Zhang Ren looked at him with a puzzled expression.

This kid doesn't look weak at all.

"Uncle Zhang, I think you should use a gun instead."

Chen Fan spoke up.

What Wang Ping and the others could see, he could naturally see as well.

Although this method greatly improves his proficiency and motivates him, Uncle Zhang seems to be in a lot of pain.

One's own happiness should not be built on the suffering of others.

Zhang Ren was taken aback, then a meaningful smile appeared on his face. "Are you sure you want to shoot my gun with a knife?"

Sure enough, the moment the gun was mentioned, his eyes immediately shone with a light completely different from before.

"Kid, I have to remind you, the saying 'an inch longer, an inch stronger' isn't just a joke."

The gun is the king of all weapons; all other weapons are defeated when they encounter a gun.

Even some unusual weapons that claim to be able to counter guns can only make fighting less strenuous.

"Yes, I'm sure."

Chen Fan nodded emphatically.

He understood what the other party meant. He was already at a disadvantage when using short-range weapons against long-range weapons, not to mention that Uncle Zhang was a highly skilled marksman.

Even if his basic swordsmanship is only level 2, he would probably still get crushed even if it were level 5.

But it can make you stronger.

This is enough.

"Fine, since you insist, I'll use a gun then."

A smile appeared on Zhang Ren's face.

So, to everyone's surprise, Zhang Ren switched to a spear that was more than three meters long.

"hiss……"

Seeing this, including Chen Guodong and others, everyone was worried for Chen Fan.

Isn't this just asking for trouble?

"bring it on."

Zhang Ren suppressed a laugh and said, "I'll use my first level of Body Tempering strength to fight you. You'll win when you can beat me."

"it is good."

Chen Fan's fighting spirit burned fiercely.

However, just as he took a step forward, he heard a whooshing sound in the air ahead, and he quickly raised his knife to parry.

With a clang.

Chen Fan parried the spear, intending to enter the inner circle, but the spearhead struck again in the next moment.

"Clang clang clang..."

Several sounds rang out in succession.

Chen Fan found that he could hardly move an inch, and not only that, his arms were also slightly numb from the shock.

In contrast, Zhang Ren, standing three meters away, had a completely calm and collected expression on his face.

With Chen Fan's swordsmanship, if he wanted to stab his opponent, why would he need five or six shots?

But that's really too much of a bullying.

Zhang Ren was a little embarrassed, and coughed twice before saying:

"Xiao Fan, how about I use the knife instead?"
