The mechanical voice echoed in Wang Xuan's mind.
Buzz!
Wang Xuan only felt a flood of knowledge about archery appear in his mind.
Like an old hunter with years of experience, his understanding of archery had reached an entirely new realm!
At the same time, his body began to grow scorching hot.
The blood and vitality throughout his body began to boil at that moment, washing over his body without end!
His body was reforged and strengthened amid the flow of blood and vitality!
In less than a minute, Wang Xuan felt his entire being jolt awake!
All the exhaustion in his body was swept away in an instant!
The blood and vitality within him felt as if it were surging and roaring!
"This feeling... feels so good!"
"And I actually gained two effects at once!"
Wang Xuan's face was filled with delight.
This entry into archery had not only strengthened his body, but also granted him two effects at once!
It was simply an unexpected delight!
To him right now, these two effects were like sending charcoal in the snow!
Sure Shot!
Within a hundred meters, the target would be hit with one hundred percent accuracy!
Double Efficiency!
Enhanced learning state. Learning efficiency doubled!!
With a thought from Wang Xuan, the Crimson Panel appeared before his eyes.
Name: Wang Xuan. Strength: 80 kilograms Cultivation: None Effects: Sure Shot (effective within 100 meters), Double Efficiency (enters the state after 3 seconds, learning effect doubled) Cultivation Method: None Skills: Basic Archery (Minor Mastery Progress 1/400), Basic Knife Technique (Entry Progress 25/200), Basic Trapping (Entry Progress 56/200) Attribute Points: 1 (Available)
Wang Xuan looked at his Crimson Panel, his gaze settling on the Attribute Points section.
"Attribute Points..."
"This thing can directly improve my physical strength. It can even improve cultivation methods, cultivation, and so on."
"But at the moment, one Attribute Point isn't enough to improve things like cultivation methods. I can only start with strength and the like."
"Crimson, add points!"
Without hesitation, Wang Xuan directly added the Attribute Point to Strength.
His body was far too weak right now, still inferior to that of an adult.
And as his strength increased, his physique would improve as well. The power with which he drew his bow and fired arrows would also increase.
Your strength has increased. Current strength: 110 kilograms.
In an instant!
The energy within his body surged once more!
It washed over his flesh, blood, tendons, and bones, while a faint, deep rumble of thunder emanated from within!
Wang Xuan's expression abruptly changed. His face flushed red, and steam rose from the top of his head.
A moment later, his complexion gradually returned to normal.
The blood and vitality within his body calmed down.
"One Attribute Point can actually increase my strength by thirty kilograms!"
Wang Xuan was overjoyed.
He had been frail and sickly since childhood. Though he was already eighteen, his physique was still far weaker than that of others his age.
But in just one day, he could feel that his physique had already recovered to the level of an ordinary adult.
His original height of 1.76 meters had also grown to 1.78 meters.
His slender limbs had become strong and powerful with the increase in strength!
They gave off an air of lean vigor.
Wang Xuan exhaled a mouthful of stale air, immediately retrieved the bow and arrows he had fired earlier, and nocked another arrow.
He took a deep breath and calmed himself.
Effect activated!
Double Efficiency!
Sure Shot!
Buzz!
The bowstring was drawn nearly twice as far!
The next second!
The arrow shot forth explosively!
With a bang, the tremendous force pierced straight through the tree trunk!
Your Basic Archery experience has increased by +3. Minor Mastery Progress: 4/400.
Seeing that the progress had increased by three points at once, a brilliant smile spread across Wang Xuan's face.
"As expected of dual effects. With boosts like these, it would be hard not to improve!"
Wang Xuan continued to nock and fire arrows.
With the support of Double Efficiency and Sure Shot, Wang Xuan was like an archer who had immersed himself in archery for years. Every arrow easily pierced through the tree trunks!
Basic Archery experience +3. Minor Mastery Progress: 7/400. Basic Archery improvement +3. Minor Mastery Progress: 10/400
Basic Archery improved madly under the effects of the two boosts.
Only after an hour, when Wang Xuan was nearly too exhausted to stand, did he finally lower the bow in his hand.
Wang Xuan glanced at the panel.
Basic Archery: Minor Mastery Progress 189/400
"It has already reached Minor Mastery. If I practice hard for another day tomorrow, perhaps I can bring Basic Archery to Major Mastery."
"But the day to repay the money is in two days. Tomorrow..."
"I have to enter the mountains!"
Wang Xuan took a deep breath, put away his bow and arrows, returned to the courtyard for a cold bath, then fell into a drowsy sleep.
The next morning.
Wang Xuan rose early and began moving his body, preparing to enter the mountains.
His muscles had ached all over after practicing archery yesterday, but after one night of rest, the soreness had completely vanished.
"Perhaps... this is one of the benefits of transmigrating."
Wang Xuan chuckled and packed up his hunting bow, arrows, hunting knife, and the rest.
"Brother Shi, the dried provisions and water are ready."
"Are you really going into the mountains?"
His sister-in-law, Lu Yao, walked over at that moment, holding a bamboo tube filled with water and dried provisions.
She looked at Wang Xuan and asked worriedly.
Wang Xuan replied, "Sister-in-law, the day to repay the money is the day after tomorrow. I have to take a trip into the mountains today, or Zhou Bapi won't let us go."
"But your body..."
Lu Yao bit her lip and said, "Brother Shi, your body has only just begun to recover. I'm afraid something will go wrong if you rush into the mountains like this."
"If it really comes down to it, I'll go find Master Zhou tomorrow."
"Even if I have to become his concubine, I won't let him hurt you..."
Wang Xuan cut Lu Yao off and said gravely, "Sister-in-law, don't mention that again. I told you, I will never watch you jump into a pit of fire!"
"Since waking up yesterday, my body is no longer as weak as before. Trust me. I can definitely take good care of you!"
As he spoke, Wang Xuan took the bamboo tube and dried provisions, hanging them from his waist. With his hunting bow on his back and thirteen arrows, he headed toward Blackwind Mountain behind the village.
"Brother Shi, be careful."
"Come back early."
Watching Wang Xuan's figure recede into the distance, Lu Yao's eyes reddened. Tears burst from her eyes as she called out loudly after him.
With his back to her, Wang Xuan waved his hand and soon disappeared from sight.
The outskirts of Blackwind Mountain.
With his bow and arrows on his back, Wang Xuan bent forward, a hunting knife in hand, and advanced cautiously as he searched for prey according to the hunting methods in his memories.
Blackwind Mountain was enormous, and demons lurked in the depths of its forests. Therefore, Wang Xuan had chosen to hunt only along its outskirts.
You have set a trap. Basic Trapping experience +2! You have set a trap. Basic Trapping improvement +2!
Basic Trapping: Entry Progress 71/200
As Wang Xuan searched for traces of prey, he also used the hunting skills his father had taught him, setting traps with branches, weeds, and other materials.
He did not expect these traps to catch large prey, but catching a sparrow or a wild rabbit would be good enough.
At the very least, he could sell them for some money.
Tracking Art: Entry 1/200
Just as Wang Xuan was carefully searching for prey, a mechanical voice rang out in his mind, leaving him momentarily stunned.
"I can comprehend skills from this too?"
"Good, good, good. Looks like I was born to be a hunter!"
His expression turned strange as he continued searching with greater effort.
It was already late autumn, and many animals had begun hibernating.
Furthermore, with the tax deadline approaching, more hunters had entered the mountains—not only from Whitestone Village, but also from the surrounding villages.
Finding prey under such circumstances was rather difficult.
Half an hour later, both Wang Xuan's Basic Trapping and Tracking Art had improved considerably.
Basic Trapping: Entry Progress 115/200 Tracking Art: Entry Progress 90/200
Both skills had improved, but Wang Xuan could not bring himself to feel happy.
For the past half hour, he had found nothing. Let alone wild chickens or rabbits, he had not even caught a sparrow.
Wang Xuan frowned tightly, a trace of irritation rising in his heart.
"Am I going to return empty-handed today..."
Wang Xuan sighed inwardly.
If he failed to catch prey to sell for money and repay the debt, Zhou Bapi would definitely not let them off!
That man even kept martial artists under his command. With Wang Xuan's current body, he definitely could not deal with them.
Just as Wang Xuan was feeling restless and was about to sit on a rock to rest, a patch of grass that had been pressed flat in the distance caught his attention.
Wang Xuan raised an eyebrow and immediately stepped forward.
Among the flattened weeds and mud, he saw a round footprint about one-third the size of a palm. Beside it lay some fresh droppings.
The moment Wang Xuan saw the footprint and droppings, delight surged into his eyes.
"This is... a wild rabbit!"
"It can't be wrong!"
As if injected with chicken blood, Wang Xuan immediately took out his bow and arrows and began following the rabbit's trail by the footprints on the ground.
Before long.
On a distant hillside, a plump wild rabbit weighing more than ten jin appeared in Wang Xuan's sight.
Wang Xuan's eyes lit up!
"It really is a wild rabbit!"
"What a fat one. This can definitely sell for a good price!"
