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

Chapter 72 Basic Archery Level 8

Chen Fan sighed softly and looked at the attribute panel.

Realm: third level of body tempering

Level: 8 (0/100)

Physical condition: 65.67

Power: 56.11

Agility: 32.28

Spirit: 12.97

Potential Points: 113 (7 points/day)

XP: 10

The strength attribute has increased from 46 points to 56 points, which is a huge increase. With some effort, it is estimated that it can even draw the 300-pound bow in Uncle Zhang's hand.

However, it is still a bit difficult to use, and it is not as easy to handle as the bow in my hand.

In addition, the potential points have reached 113, which is more than enough to strengthen the body once.

Don't forget, there's still one more chance to break through to a higher realm.

From the perspective of maximizing benefits, it is natural to stack up the attributes as high as possible, so that the benefits of breakthrough will be greater, but one should not be too rigid.

Chen Fan planned that, barring any unforeseen dangers, he would at least wait until he had improved Tai Chi and Meteor Arrow techniques to their maximum level before attempting a breakthrough.

While the potential gains may not be the greatest, they are not insignificant either. We can't afford to remain stagnant forever, can we?

The rest of the time was spent practicing basic archery techniques.

He wasn't in a hurry, and just kept shooting at the target, one arrow after another. He could shoot about twenty arrows per minute, and his proficiency increased by six percent.

Of course, after shooting so many arrows, you need to rest for more than ten minutes, otherwise your body will not be able to take it.

Fortunately, the level one blood circulation effect can shorten the rest time by one-third, which also speeds up the growth of proficiency.

About two hours later, Chen Fan felt a faint warm current flowing through his body. Clearly, with his current attributes, the attribute point gain from leveling up [Basic Archery] was too little.

Basic Archery: lv7 (0%), Traits: Strength 7, Arm Strength 7, Slow Shot 7, Mounted Archery 5, Rapid Fire 2

Chen Fan's gaze fell on the final rapid-fire characteristic; indeed, this was what he valued.

Level 2 rapid-fire characteristic, increasing the rate of fire by 60%.

In other words, if he used the same 200-pound bow as before, he could shoot a maximum of 20 arrows per minute, but now he can shoot 26 or 27 arrows.

With full power, the three-shot burst time, which was originally around five seconds, can now be a little over four seconds. At first glance, it seems far worse than before, but in reality, this is a bow with a draw weight of 200 pounds, and its power is more than twice that of the former.

"Keep going, try to upgrade it to the next level, and it would be even better if new features appeared."

After a short rest, Chen Fan shot another arrow at the target. He then looked at his skill bar and saw that his proficiency had increased by less than 0.1%, which was within expectations.

"Shooting a thousand arrows will raise your basic archery skills to level 8. At one round of 27 arrows per minute, and six rounds per hour, that's 162 times, which will take six hours."

Chen Fan's expression was serious; considering the afternoon, it was enough time.

His insistence on raising his basic archery skills to level 8 was not without reason.

Because once the basic archery skill reaches level 8, the time for a three-shot burst can be controlled to around 3 seconds. Even if he encounters a mid-level ferocious beast like the armored rhinoceros, a distance of 100 meters is enough for him to shoot three arrows. And the time required for the armored rhinoceros to sprint 100 meters is only a little over three seconds.

A bow with a draw weight of 200 jin (approximately 100 kg) can kill an armored rhinoceros instantly if it hits a vital spot with one arrow. If it misses three times and fails to kill the rhinoceros, the rhinoceros has nothing to say and might as well be killed by the impact.

Just then, Chen Guodong's voice came from inside the village.

It's time for lunch.

Zhang Ren put away his bow and arrows, looked at Chen Fan and said, "I'll stop practicing here for today."

After all, there are still quite a few people here waiting for him to give them guidance this afternoon.

If you add the people from Gujiazhai, there will be even more.

"Hmm," Chen Fan smiled, "Uncle Zhang, shall we practice marksmanship tonight, just like yesterday?"

"OK."

Zhang Ren paused for a moment, seemingly a little surprised, then readily agreed.

He was quite pleased to see that Chen Fan was willing to spend a lot of time improving his marksmanship.

"Gu Ze, why don't you go to the warehouse with Uncle Gu and the others this afternoon to practice martial arts?" Chen Fan asked Gu Ze, who was standing to the side.

"Practicing martial arts?"

Gu Ze was stunned.

"Yes, practicing boxing without internal strength training is a waste of time in old age. The same applies to archery. No matter how good your archery is, it will be of no use against intermediate-level ferocious beasts if you don't improve your physical fitness."

"Okay, I understand."

Gu Ze looked at the bow and arrow in his hand with a hint of reluctance in his eyes.

But Chen Fan is right. Whether for ordinary people or martial artists, the stronger the body, the better, and this is especially true for him.

Because he is an Awakened One, he can double his power.

The three of them took the archery target back to the village. To Chen Fan's surprise, his family ended up having dinner with Gu Ze's family. At the dinner table, Chen Guodong and Gu Jianghai chatted happily, their laughter filling the air.

Yin Fang was chatting and laughing with Gu Jianghai's wife.

Chen Fan and Gu Ze, on the other hand, were relatively quiet.

The former was thinking that he must improve his basic archery to level eight this afternoon, while the latter was thinking that he must practice martial arts well this afternoon and strive to break through to the first level of body tempering as soon as possible. In this way, with the amplification of his superpower, he would also be able to use a longbow with a draw weight of 200 jin!

Only Chen Chen was completely absorbed in enjoying the food.

After lunch, Chen Fan left the village alone to continue practicing archery.

Chen Guodong led Gu Jianghai and the others to stand in front of the warehouse. Although there was enough food in the village, it was still not enough for everyone to practice martial arts. For example, Chen Fan now eats nearly ten catties of meat a day. After practicing martial arts, the others could eat three or four catties if they ate as much as they wanted. Therefore, they could only give priority to adult young men.

Time passed, and the sun set in the west, and night was about to fall.

"Xiao Fan, come back soon."

A man's anxious voice rang out from the watchtower.

The distant roars of beasts could be faintly heard; it was time for the ferocious beasts to be active.

If Chen Fan were still outside, he might attract some powerful ferocious beasts.

"Okay, right away."

After Chen Fan finished speaking, seeing that his proficiency was almost full, he decisively unleashed a triple shot.

The moment the third arrow left the bowstring, that familiar, faint warmth surged up again; my basic archery skills had been upgraded!

Basic Archery: lv8 (0%), Traits: Strength 8, Arm Strength 8, Slow Shot 8, Mounted Archery 6, Rapid Fire 3

"call……"

Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief, finally managing to do it before dark.

With a rapid-fire level 3, unless you're unlucky enough to encounter a high-level ferocious beast, no mid-level ferocious beast can withstand the power equivalent to three sniper rifle bullets within 100 meters.

This time, we shouldn't have to worry about encountering ferocious beasts on our trip to Songjiabao.

However, we cannot let our guard down. In the apocalypse, humans may be more dangerous than low- to medium-level ferocious beasts.
