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

Chapter 71 Characteristics: Aiming, Superhuman Strength!

He could feel his body recovering rapidly, much faster than usual.

Undoubtedly, it was the blood-activating properties that were effective.

The guess was correct; improving blood circulation can not only restore qi and blood, but also physical strength.

"Very good."

Chen Fan was overjoyed.

His improved recovery ability means that where he used to need more than ten minutes to rest after three consecutive shots, he may now only need ten minutes.

This is only level one. If the blood-activating property reaches level two or three, the blood and qi recovery speed will almost double.

The importance of powerful recovery abilities to martial artists is self-evident.

Thinking about this, he felt an urge to put all his remaining experience points into Tai Chi.

"No rush, let's see how fast the Meteor Arrow Technique improves first."

He looked at the skill panel:

【Meteor Arrow Technique: Completely Ignorant (0.1%)】

"?"

Chen Fan rubbed his eyes, almost doubting whether he had seen things correctly.

A triple shot only increased proficiency by 0.1%?

It's important to know that a level 6 Basic Archery skill adds a full 0.8%! If it had been a four-shot burst, the increase would undoubtedly have exceeded 1%.

Moreover, this is a bow with a draw weight of 200 jin. If it were a bow with a draw weight of 100 jin, wouldn't the increase be only a few ten-thousandths?

Chen Fan took a deep breath.

It takes a thousand triple shots to get the basics down. If he can do a triple shot every ten minutes at his current rate, that's six times an hour.

One thousand times, one hundred and sixty-six hours, seven days.

This is just the beginning; to reach a minor level of mastery, it will take even more days.

"Let's add some more; this is taking too long, we can't wait."

Chen Fan made his decision and invested some experience points into it.

The proficiency of the Meteor Arrow Technique immediately increased by 5%.

"20 points, not much."

On a whim, he added another 19 experience points.

No physical changes occurred, but a new piece of information appeared in my mind.

【Meteor Archery: Beginner Level (0%), Trait: Aim Level 1】

[Aim Level 1: Active skill. Consumes a small amount of mental energy. After activation, slightly improves vision for 1 minute. The duration increases by 1 minute for each level.]

"It's actually an active skill?"

Chen Fan was quite surprised. Did he already have an active skill right away? No wonder it's an advanced martial art.

"Does it consume mental energy to improve eyesight?"

As he spoke, following the information in his mind, a thought flashed through his mind, and in an instant, a slight feeling of fatigue arose.

At the same time, he felt a warm sensation in his eyes, which made him involuntarily close them. When he opened them again, everything around him was clearly visible.

It's like upgrading video quality from ultra-high definition to Blu-ray.

Not only that, he could see even further. He looked into the distance and could no longer see objects that were only five or six hundred meters away.

Now, we can see further, about 600 or 700 meters, an improvement of 30%.

"Not only static vision, but dynamic vision has also improved."

Chen Fan muttered to himself, "For example, when the wild grass sways in the wind, I can clearly see its movement every second. This was unimaginable before."

Before long, the warm sensation in my eyes subsided, and the scenery in front of me became "blurred" again.

Chen Fan was still somewhat unsatisfied.

"Although it doesn't increase attribute points, this trait indirectly enhances combat power. Moreover, the better my eyesight is, the greater the boost will be. Excellent eyesight is crucial for archers."

"Unfortunately, another upgrade can only extend the time."

He shook his head, glanced at his experience points, and saw that he had 91 points left.

Advancing to the next minor level shouldn't be a problem. The difficulty lies in whether to improve the [Meteor Arrow Technique] or the [Tai Chi Fist].

Archery is currently the primary means of killing, and its importance is self-evident. I just wonder if new features will appear if I upgrade to the next proficiency level?

If not, it's equivalent to only improving aiming by one level, resulting in a small increase in combat power.

Improving Tai Chi skills can bring several attribute bonuses and a 30% recovery effect. If new features are added, it will be even more worthwhile.

"Forget it, let's start with archery?"

Although he also admired the Eight Extremes Spear Technique, archery was his highest priority. It was so good that he could attack others while they couldn't attack him.

Secondly, there's hand-to-hand combat. He discovered that compared to weapon-based martial arts, hand-to-hand combat focuses on improving physical attributes and raising the upper limit. Otherwise, if your physical fitness isn't good enough, you won't even be able to draw a strong bow, so what's the point?

Finally, there's marksmanship, used to compensate for weaknesses. If you ever encounter a strong enemy and run out of arrows, or get caught in close combat, you can pick up a gun and fight back, instead of being like an archer in a game who, when a warrior gets close, can only take their hands off the keyboard and wait to die.

As for swordsmanship, it's a good option to learn one if I have enough experience points in the future, just in case.

After making up his mind, he invested some experience points in the Meteor Arrow Technique, and to his delight, his proficiency increased by about 3.33%.

"Looks like 30 experience points will do. 91 points minus 30 points leaves 61 points. I wonder if that's enough to level up again?"

A look of anticipation appeared in Chen Fan's eyes.

After investing another 29 experience points, Chen Fan felt a refreshing stream nourishing his body. His muscles slowly tensed up, and the tension disappeared after a few seconds.

Chen Fan clenched his fist and clearly felt that his strength had increased, and by quite a bit!

【Meteor Archery: Slightly Proficient (0%), Traits: Aim Level 2, Superhuman Strength Level 1】

[Exceptional Strength: For each skill level upgrade, the Strength attribute permanently increases by 5 points]

"really."

A smile appeared on Chen Fan's face.

This feature is clearly an enhanced version of someone with superhuman arm strength, and not just any enhancement, but a full five times stronger.

The essence of this meteor arrow technique is speed.

With increased strength, the bowstring can be drawn at a faster speed, which is equivalent to indirectly increasing the shooting speed.

"I still have 61 experience points left. I wonder if that's enough to level up again?"

He added a little bit on it, just to give it a try, and his proficiency level immediately jumped past the 1% mark.

Under Chen Fan's expectant gaze, it stopped at 2%.

"Phew, 50 points is enough," Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief. "I wonder if I can unlock the Rapid Fire Meteor Arrow skill at the next proficiency level."

After a brief pause, he added 50 experience points.

The warmth and luster of the eyes reappeared, and the sense of power also increased, but apart from that, there seemed to be no other changes.

Chen Fan checked his head and found that he didn't have any extra memories.

"Didn't any new features unlock this time?"

He gave a wry smile, and after all the changes in his body disappeared, he looked at the skill bar.

【Meteor Archery: Mastery (0%), Traits: Aim Level 3, Strength Level 2】

As it turned out, his intuition was correct.

No new features were introduced this time.

"Actually, it's not bad. The aiming duration lasts for three minutes, and there are also ten extra points of strength attribute."

Chen Fan comforted himself.

As for the so-called secret technique, the rapid-fire meteor arrow, it will most likely be unlocked at the next proficiency level, right?

Unfortunately, there are no more experience points.
