Second Talent, Continuous Awakening

You completed the setup of a small trap. Your Trap Arts proficiency +2.

Your trap injured an enemy. Your Trap Arts proficiency +2.

Looking at the information that appeared on the panel, Chen Feng's eyes held some surprise as well. He had not expected Trap Arts to improve so quickly.

Moreover, as he looked at the information on the panel, a cold gleam flickered in his eyes.

This Wang Hu was actually so relentless in hunting him down.

The Quasi-Hunter Order alone could not possibly hold such great appeal.

It seemed Huang Lao Si must be pulling strings behind the scenes.

Chen Feng's face was ice-cold, killing intent in his eyes.

The other party dared target his family so brazenly; clearly, he had not taken Chen Feng seriously at all.

Bang!

Another dull thud rang out.

Chen Feng's expression shifted slightly as he continued onward.

After mastering the Forest Running skill, its proficiency had continued to rise, and Chen Feng had felt the changes. Though he was in the mountains and forest, as his proficiency increased, he gradually felt as if he were becoming one with the woods.

Within this thorn-choked forest, he seemed to encounter almost no obstruction.

After realizing this, Chen Feng deliberately began slipping into dense thickets.

This sight directly enraged Wang Hu, who was chasing after him. His face turned exceedingly grim.

"Damn mud-legged peasant, you can really run."

Wang Hu's face was dark.

After kicking apart another simple wooden-spike trap buried in the ground, he swiftly continued the pursuit.

At this moment, rage simmered inside him.

He had not expected hunting down a mud-legged peasant to be such a nuisance.

Chen Feng was clearly only a few hundred meters ahead of him.

Yet every time he came close, Chen Feng managed to slip away.

Especially now, as the surrounding woods grew denser and denser, a trace of anxiety appeared on his face.

"No, I can't drag this out any longer. I have to take him down, or this time the losses will be too great."

Thinking of the two underlings who had been killed, Wang Hu finally made up his mind.

With a cold shout, he said, "Chen Feng, to die beneath the Iron Arm Technique, you should be proud enough."

Chen Feng, who was ahead and constantly watching his skill proficiency rise, heard Wang Hu's shout from behind.

He sneered inwardly.

He paid it no heed at all.

He continued trying to move forward.

But in that instant, he distinctly sensed a rumble from behind him. He hurriedly looked back, and his expression changed slightly the next moment.

He saw Wang Hu behind him suddenly let out a roar.

As Wang Hu's blood and qi boiled, his whole face instantly flushed crimson.

At the same time, Wang Hu slammed his arms together, producing a thunderous boom.

Then, iron rings, one after another, appeared around his arms.

Wang Hu burst into laughter.

Then he no longer paid attention to the small traps Chen Feng had set or the trees and thorns ahead.

Instead, he took huge strides and charged directly at Chen Feng.

Whatever stood before him was blasted straight into pieces.

"Is this the power of a martial artist?" Chen Feng's expression changed slightly as he cried out inwardly.

He no longer dared linger in the slightest.

Just from the crashing sounds of trees and thorns collapsing behind him, he knew he was definitely no match.

He said nothing more.

He buried his head and rushed forward.

At the same time, whenever he found an opening, he fired an arrow.

Bang!

Although most were knocked aside by Wang Hu's arms.

Some arrows struck Wang Hu's legs.

Yet what surprised Chen Feng was that these arrows only left Wang Hu with superficial wounds.

This made his heart grow even heavier.

"Is a mere Ranked Martial Artist already this strong?"

At last, he more or less understood why Huang Lao Si could build such a massive manor outside the County Town.

Why the villagers of Black Mountain Village did not dare seek revenge.

And at that moment, delight flashed through Chen Feng's eyes. "Is the new skill improving first?"

Your Forest Running skill proficiency has increased.

Your Forest Running skill has reached 1% proficient progress.

You have awakened a new skill talent: As If Walking on Flat Ground. Your speed +1.

Name: Chen Feng

Cultivation: Uninitiated

Martial Arts: None

Skills: Nutrient Absorption (81% beginner progress), Basic Archery (12% proficient progress), Trap Arts (87% beginner progress), Forest Running (1% proficient progress)

Talents: Beginner Talent Hundred-Step Piercing Willow (Within one hundred steps, your archery will hit the mark every time.)

Beginner Talent As If Walking on Flat Ground (When running through the mountains and forest, your speed will increase by 10%.)

"Is it actually this kind of talent?" Delight filled Chen Feng's eyes.

At that instant, he felt a surge of power flow into his legs.

The next moment, he felt as though his body had become much lighter.

With one step, his speed increased by a great deal compared to before.

"It works."

Chen Feng rejoiced inwardly.

At that moment, Wang Hu's expression abruptly changed behind him. "How is this possible?"

He had originally been about to catch Chen Feng.

He had not expected that in that instant, Chen Feng's speed would seemingly increase all at once.

His expression shifted slightly. Could it be that Chen Feng was also a martial artist?

Otherwise, how could this be?

At that moment, Chen Feng, in his eyes, was actually standing a hundred meters away. Then Chen Feng laughed aloud and fired several arrows at him in rapid succession.

Although Wang Hu swiftly dodged.

Two arrows still slipped past his defenses and struck directly into his left knee.

"Ahhh! Chen Feng, I'll make you die!"

Wang Hu roared furiously, fire seeming to burn in his eyes.

He let out a furious bellow.

Then he charged over at high speed.

He did not see the faint smile curling up at the corner of Chen Feng's lips as Chen Feng fled ahead.

Ahead was a dense briar patch, filled with thick thorn bushes.

Chen Feng was extremely fast, and with Wang Hu both shocked and enraged, he naturally would not let Chen Feng escape.

He quickly pursued him.

The next moment, he stomped apart several more small-stick traps.

Wang Hu's face was filled with fury and mockery. Did Chen Feng think he could stop him with just these few small traps?

But he did not know.

At this moment, Chen Feng was fleeing ahead As If Walking on Flat Ground.

The smile on his face was growing wider and wider.

Finally, as another trap was destroyed.

A delighted smile appeared on Chen Feng's face.

New information rapidly refreshed on the panel.

Your Trap Arts caused an enemy some trouble. Proficiency +2.

Your Trap Arts has reached proficient progress.

You have awakened a new skill talent: Nimble Hands, Quick Mind!

"As expected, improvement is fastest in the midst of battle," Chen Feng thought.

Then he plunged headfirst into the thorn bushes again, while swiftly checking what effect this newly awakened talent had.

Wang Hu was a martial artist. If Chen Feng had not awakened the As If Walking on Flat Ground talent, he would likely have fallen into Wang Hu's hands long ago.

This made Chen Feng even more desperate to become a martial artist.

And he believed that with the talent panel, there would definitely be no problem.
