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

Chapter 39 Breakthrough! Body Tempering Level Two

At first glance, the experience points consumed seem a bit high, 20 points, which is several times the experience points for a beginner, compared to basic martial arts. However, in terms of cost-effectiveness, it is much higher.

For example, upgrading the [Tai Chi Style] from level 2 to level 3 requires 16 experience points to increase 2 points of Constitution and 1 point of Strength, for a total of 3 attribute points. This is equivalent to needing about 5 experience points to increase one attribute point.

Tai Chi, on the other hand, costs 20 points to improve 11 attribute points. Each attribute point only consumes less than 2 experience points, so it is obviously very cost-effective.

"Looking at it this way, the upper limit of basic martial arts is far lower than that of these advanced martial arts?"

Let's call these advanced martial arts for now. I don't know what martial artists outside call them, Chen Fan thought to himself, then glanced at the remaining 16 experience points.

He regretted upgrading the Tai Chi stance to level 3. Wouldn't it have been better to use the saved experience points on Tai Chi Chuan? Unfortunately, the situation didn't allow it at the time.

He shook his head, his gaze falling back on Tai Chi.

Although he knew that with the remaining 17 experience points, he definitely wouldn't be able to raise Tai Chi to the next level, he still couldn't help but want to try, at least to know how many experience points were needed to advance to the next level.

So he added just a little bit.

The proficiency in Tai Chi seemed to have been such that it reluctantly jumped up, then refused to move again.

2%

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Based on this, 50 experience points should be enough, meaning you'll need another 34.

Fortunately, if you're lucky, you can finish a hunt in one go instead of two or three.

That's enough Tai Chi for today. He looked expectantly at his attribute panel. If he wasn't mistaken, his physique had already exceeded 30 points, and his cultivation level should be able to improve again.

Realm: Tempered Body Level 1

Level: 5 (0/16)

Physical condition: 34.26

Power: 23.36

Agility: 15.59

Spirit: 8.05

Potential Points: 20 (3 points/day)

XP: 16

Sure enough, a plus sign appeared after the first level of Body Tempering.

"Breakthrough? 100% success rate."

"Still 100%."

Chen Fan's breathing suddenly became rapid.

Actually, I'm a little worried that other attributes might not keep up, resulting in a probability that won't reach 100%.

In the end, it still comes down to simply meeting the physical attributes threshold.

Then what are we waiting for? Let's break through first.

He clicked it.

Suddenly, the sound of something shattering echoed in his mind again. In the blink of an eye, a massive surge of heat swept through his limbs and bones, causing a slight cracking sound to emanate from his entire body.

Not only that, but my five senses have also become much clearer.

"It must be the effect of the increased mental attributes, right?" Chen Fan thought to himself, feeling that his concentration had improved.

After a few breaths, everything returned to calm.

Realm: Tempered Body Second Level

Level: 5 (0/16)

Physical condition: 37.68

Power: 25.69

Agility: 17.14

Spirit: 8.85

Potential Points: 20 (5 points/day)

XP: 16

Chen Fan looked at his own attributes and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Especially his physical attributes, which are nearly 38 points, just 3 points away from reaching the breakthrough threshold.

but…

His gaze fell on the strength attribute. In comparison, the strength was too low. How come the gap between the physical and strength attributes suddenly became so large?

Fortunately, it also has 25 points. With 20 points, you can use a bow with a draw weight of 100 jin. With 25 points, it's a piece of cake.

Then, a few minutes later...

"What?"

Zhang Ren exclaimed in surprise.

Wang Ping and the others, who were practicing shooting, were also startled and looked over in this direction with blank expressions.

"This is none of your business. Focus on practicing your shooting."

The group looked at each other, then withdrew their heads.

"Kid, were you telling the truth just now?"

Zhang Ren's voice was so excited that his arms were trembling.

"Are you sure you heard a sound like shattering glass in your head just now?"

"Um."

Chen Fan thought for a moment, then nodded emphatically, "Uncle Zhang, I'm absolutely certain. Not only that, I also feel my body has become much stronger. Uncle Zhang, what exactly is going on?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ren's pupils gradually returned to normal, and he let out a soft sigh, saying, "You kid, you've broken through?"

"breakthrough!"

Chen Fan's voice trembled, "Uncle Zhang, do you mean... I'm a martial artist now?"

"What? A martial artist!"

"Is Brother Fan a martial artist?"

"A martial artist at the first level of Body Tempering? Like Uncle Wei and the others?"

Wang Ping, Zhao Feng, and the others could no longer remain calm upon hearing this.

If one reaches the first level of body tempering, wouldn't one be able to draw a bow weighing 100 jin?

It's only been a few days!

From 40 jin to 60 jin, 80 jin, and now, it's 100 jin?

Fan Ge's progress is too fast!

"That's right."

Zhang Ren nodded, his gaze complex.

that's true.

How could someone who can master Tai Chi in just two or three days, with ample food, possibly experience slow progress in their skill level?

Although, this rate of improvement is too fast.

However, martial arts prodigies cannot be judged by ordinary standards.

Chen Fan was also stunned, seemingly overwhelmed by this incredible good news.

After a long pause, he tentatively asked, "Uncle Zhang, now I'm a first-level Body Tempering martial artist, just like Uncle Wei and the others. Does that mean I can also draw that 100-pound bow?"

"Okay, come with me."

After Zhang Ren finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the warehouse.

For some reason, he had a premonition that Chen Fan would soon be able to draw those two bows with a draw weight of 200 or 300 pounds.

"If we can really pull it apart, that would be a good thing."

He secretly thought.

This world is fraught with danger; one wrong step and you could lose your life. The stronger you are, the better your chances of survival.

"Give."

Chen Fan took the bow. It was a bit heavier than the bow with an 80-pound draw weight. The bow and arrow were taut, and when he touched it, they immediately produced a violent vibration.

Zhang Ren then handed over the quiver, saying, "You don't need to use the arrows you were using before. These arrows weigh about two ounces each, which is perfect for the bow you have."

"Two ounces..."

Chen Fan looked over and saw that the arrows in the quiver were about 90 centimeters long, with shafts almost as thick as a little finger, arrowheads nearly 5 centimeters long and 2 centimeters wide, gleaming with a cold light.

The power of such an arrow, fired from a bow weighing over a hundred pounds, is unimaginable.

"Uncle Zhang, I'll go and try it right away."

He said impatiently.

"Although you are now a martial artist, you have only recently broken through to the next level, so don't push yourself too hard."

Zhang Ren said with concern.

"Yes, Uncle Zhang, I understand."

Chen Fan smiled and nodded.

With this bow, one can shoot down ferocious beasts from 200 meters away, and even fight against a mid-level ferocious beast like the armored rhinoceros.

Of course, it will also allow you to upgrade your Basic Archery skills to level 6 more quickly. If you succeed, I wonder if any new features will be unlocked this time.
