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

Chapter 22 A Man with a Story

"You want to learn Tai Chi?"

Chen Guodong had just sat down when he heard this and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

"yes."

Chen Fan nodded and explained, "I've heard that practicing Tai Chi can improve physical health, and I want to use it to increase my strength so I can draw a heavier bow."

Despite saying that, he firmly believed that Tai Chi could improve one's attributes.

After all, even basic archery can improve physical strength attributes, so Tai Chi, as a well-known internal martial art in the previous life, couldn't possibly be useless.

"I see."

A look of understanding appeared in Chen Guodong's eyes. He then tried to recall for a moment and said, "It seems like no one in the village knows how to do this."

"No?"

Chen Fan couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed.

Chen Guodong glanced at him, feeling a pang of pity, and comforted him, "Perhaps there are, but we just haven't discovered them. How about this, after lunch, I'll go ask around; maybe someone will also say no..."

His voice trailed off as he suddenly realized something. "Maybe your Uncle Zhang would?"

Chen Fan was taken aback.

It seems that's really the case? Since he can teach the young people in the village to practice spear fighting, he must have some martial arts background. If he has a martial arts background, he can't possibly be unaware of traditional martial arts like Tai Chi.

"I remember now," Chen Guodong said again at this moment, "Your Uncle Zhang had only been in the village for a short time when he tried to teach us some ways to strengthen our bodies, but everyone was so hungry at the time that they were busy hunting outside the village. Who had the mind to practice any stances or boxing? In the end, it all came to nothing."

"Is that so? That's wonderful."

Chen Fan was overjoyed.

"Yes, back then, when the Wei brothers were around, we often visited him, probably to ask for his guidance. Yes," Chen Guodong recalled, "The Wei brothers, like you, initially used bows weighing sixty jin. After about two or three years, the bows they used became eighty jin, and then back to the previous one hundred jin. I suppose that was the effect of practicing martial arts."

"I also heard that before the Wei brothers left, they approached your Uncle Zhang, seemingly wanting to take him with them, but he refused."

Chen Fan took a deep breath. No wonder Uncle Zhang mentioned a couple of days ago that the Wei brothers probably wouldn't stay for long. He was astonished, but it turned out to be true.

Everything is connected.

From this, it is clear that Uncle Zhang was indeed an extraordinary person. If his leg hadn't been lame, he would definitely have been a key member of the hunting team.

"Dad, who exactly is this Uncle Zhang? How did you two meet?" he asked curiously.

"this…"

Chen Guodong looked embarrassed. "Actually, he's not from our village."

"what?"

"The story begins three years ago. At that time, your Uncle Liu, the Wei brothers, and I were on our way back from hunting when we encountered a man covered in blood lying in the grass. The blood attracted one or two wolves, who were watching us intently from a distance."

At the time, I thought he was dead, but your Uncle Liu ran to check and found he was still breathing, so he carried him back. His constitution is truly extraordinary; he survived such a severe gunshot wound.

"Gunshot wound!"

Chen Fan exclaimed in surprise.

"That's right."

Chen Guodong's eyes also showed lingering fear. "I've never seen anyone with more than ten bullets in their body. Because of this, everyone disagreed, thinking that this person shouldn't have been left alive."

"In the end, I stayed," Chen Fan said.

Chen Guodong was both amused and exasperated, saying, "Yes, we've already rescued him, so we can't just throw him out again. He was lying on the roadside at the time, and no one saw who took him away, so I took it upon myself to keep him."

Fortunately, he was lucky to survive. After waking up, he stayed in the village until today. At first, we were wary of him, but later it turned out that he was indeed a trustworthy person.

"Um."

Chen Fan nodded as well.

He finally understood why the Wei brothers wanted to take Uncle Zhang with them, but the other party wouldn't agree.

Although his management style and personality made it difficult for him to retain ambitious and capable people, the advantage was that he would also attract a group of loyal followers.

"What are you talking about? You seem so engrossed!"

A woman's voice rang out as she placed a plate of cooked rabbit meat on the table. It wasn't cooked in any special way; the only seasoning was a sprinkle of salt, yet the aroma of the meat was irresistible, making one's mouth water.

"Let's eat first."

Chen Guodong laughed and said, "Xiao Fan, we really owe you a lot this time. You can eat to your heart's content."

Chen Fan chuckled, not in a hurry to eat, but picked up several slices of meat and put them into his younger brother's bowl, whose mouth was practically watering.

"Wow, thank you, brother."

Chen Chen shouted excitedly.

Upon seeing this scene, Chen Guodong and his companion exchanged knowing smiles.

Chen Fan then picked up a piece of rabbit meat and put it in his mouth, chewing it carefully.

Although he was eager to increase his potential points by eating the flesh of ferocious beasts, the process of eating meat was, in itself, a pleasure.

Only after swallowing the slices of meat did a piece of information surface in my mind.

Potential points +0.1.

Time passed slowly, and Chen Fan ate almost a pound of meat before feeling about 60-70% full.

"Dad, Mom, I'm full."

He put down his chopsticks and patted his stomach contentedly.

Without exaggeration, this was probably the most he had eaten in the days since he transmigrated here.

As for why we didn't eat until we were completely full, it's because my parents didn't even touch their chopsticks.

"Are you full already?" The woman smiled, her eyes narrowing into slits. "There's still half left, eat some more."

"Yes, we'll be practicing archery later, we can't be without strength."

"I'm really full," Chen Fan chuckled. "I'm going to find Uncle Zhang."

After saying that, he disappeared in a flash.

"This child seems to have matured a lot," the woman remarked.

"yes."

Chen Guodong nodded with satisfaction.

Chen Fan walked along the muddy path leading to the warehouse, looking at the attribute panel.

Potential Points: 5.6 (1 points/day)

That's right, so many potential points are enough for him to strengthen his body once again.

However, he didn't rush to strengthen it.

Having eaten lunch, he was full of energy. Immediately strengthening his body would waste an opportunity for recovery. It would be better to strengthen it later when he was exhausted from archery practice.

Of course, it's not just about practicing archery.

When he arrived at the open space in front of the warehouse, it immediately caused a sensation.

Wang Ping and the others excitedly surrounded him, discussing the matter animatedly.

"Brother Fan, you're awesome! I heard you were the one who shot all the prey this time? That's amazing!"

"I knew it! Brother Fan, your archery skills are amazing. You'll definitely shine in the wild!"

"Brother Fan, you're my idol! Please mentor me!"

"Brother Fan, if I were a woman, I would definitely have your child!"

"Alright, alright."

Chen Fan nearly vomited up his food and asked, "Where's Uncle Zhang?"
