Staying Hidden, Human Head Fruit Tree, Cloud Piercing Arrow

Staying hidden was indeed the best choice when one knew nothing, was at a complete disadvantage, and was weaker than everyone else.

But he still had to kill ten people!

Otherwise, how could he return? Was he supposed to stay hidden forever? So he had to gather information about the other aspects as soon as possible, improve himself, and complete this mandatory requirement.

Who knew how many secret arts the people who came from that sort of place possessed? Moreover, they had no idea how much more information than him. There was an eighty-to-ninety-percent chance they had a way to form malicious teams.

They might even have a way to learn the locations of the others!
