Return, Martial Path Road

By the time Chen Xuan returned to the village, it was already late at night, but Chen Xuan didn't go home immediately.

There was no other way; in his current state, if he went back, his mother would worry herself to death.

Fortunately, there was a water channel at the entrance of the village used for irrigation. Using the water channel, he thoroughly washed himself.

Only after the foul smell completely disappeared did he, carrying the Lotus Flower, walk back home.

As soon as he saw his house, Chen Xuan saw his mother, Zhang Chunhua, standing at the doorway, her gaze directed right at him.

"Er Gou, you?"

Seeing Chen Xuan, Zhang Chunhua breathed a sigh of relief, but quickly noticed that Chen Xuan was soaking wet.

"Mother, I got a lot of mud on me on the mountain, so I washed up in the water channel."

Chen Xuan explained.

As for the reason, he had already thought of it just now.

"Er Gou, if you're dirty, Mother will wash it for you."

"Let's go, hurry back and change your clothes, don't get sick!"

Zhang Chunhua lovingly touched her second son and quickly spoke.

"Okay!"

Chen Xuan nodded and obediently returned home to change his clothes.

As for Chen Xuan not bringing back food, Zhang Chunhua didn't ask.

After all, hunting wasn't that simple. It was actually abnormal that her son had been able to bring back food every day for the past few days.

Returning home, Chen Xuan carefully put away the Lotus Flower, then changed his clothes.

The family ate dinner together.

Compared to before, thanks to the hunting income of the past few days, the family was undoubtedly eating better.

After dinner, Chen Xuan didn't choose to start immediately.

Instead, he decided to rest for a day.

Today had been too dangerous.

Even recalling it now still made his scalp tingle.

Every step he took, if he had made even a slight mistake, or even been a little late, perhaps he wouldn't have made it back today.

Whether it was the Giant Python in the Cold Pool or the terrifying existence that fought with the Giant Python later, both could easily kill him.

If it weren't for his Conceptual Ability, he might not have had any chance at all.

In his mind, scene after scene flashed by, thoughts intertwined, and he unknowingly fell into a deep sleep.

This day was truly exhausting; he could even say he was utterly spent.

He slept soundly until the sun was high in the sky before slowly waking up.

Upon waking, Chen Xuan felt completely refreshed.

"Guoguo, you lazy pig, the sun's already on your butt!"

Xiao Shitou pouted and spoke.

"Hahaha!"

Chen Xuan chuckled softly, turning over and getting up.

At this moment, whether it was an illusion or not, he felt as if his strength had increased significantly.

However, this was only a fleeting thought. Chen Xuan quickly noticed the Lotus Flower he had carefully stored in the cabinet not far away.

This Lotus Flower was undoubtedly extraordinary. Even after being picked for over a day, it remained incredibly vibrant.

Looking at the Lotus Flower, Chen Xuan exhaled slightly, his gaze then refocusing on the Conceptual Ability.

Target: Cultivate the Martial Path, enter the Skin Refining Realm (To be determined)

Setting complete

"Loading!"

"Loading successful!"

"Path 1: Continue to strike trees with various parts of your body daily. Then, use the Cold Pool Lotus Flower as a medicinal guide. Every three days, add one petal to clean water in a wooden tub, boil until bubbling, then use the boiling water for a daily medicinal bath for half an hour until the water cools to room temperature. This can maintain continuous vitality within the body for one month. After one month, you can reach the Martial Artist's Skin Refining Realm."

"Path 2: Three hundred miles outside Green Mountain City is a Blood Demon Sect outpost. Reach the Blood Demon Sect, successfully join after undergoing the Blood Demon Sect trial, and temper your body with blood refinement. If you survive after three months, you will successfully enter the Martial Artist's Skin Refining Realm."

"Path 3: Join the Overlord Blade Martial Hall, gain the favor of the Overlord Blade Hall Master, obtain a secret medicine, and complete Martial Path Skin Refining within one year."

As the text appeared, it changed again at this moment.

The original Path 3 directly became Path 1, while Paths 1 and 2 became 2 and 3.

At the same time, the content of Path 1 also became more detailed.

Chen Xuan wasn't too surprised by this.

After all, he had already obtained the Cold Pool Lotus Flower.

Path 3 naturally became much simpler.

"Strike various parts of the body, then take a medicinal bath!"

He spoke softly, his eyes gleaming. At this moment, his heart couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

Finally, finally, at this moment, he had obtained the true path to entering the extraordinary.

In this dangerous world, without mastering power, Chen Xuan's heart had always been unsettled.

No one knew what he, or even his family, would encounter in the next moment.

Especially after encountering that strange existence in the river and the terrifying Giant Python in the mountain forest, Chen Xuan's heart grew increasingly anxious.

And at this moment, there was finally a solution to this urgency.

Transcendence. As long as he obtained the Martial Path Road to transcendence, then he, and even his entire family, would see great improvement.

Even though he didn't understand this world very well yet.

But Chen Xuan knew this was the key for him to truly cross class boundaries.

And the only way.

This could be seen from the difficulty of the Martial Path Road revealed by his Conceptual Ability earlier.

"Hoo!"

He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

Chen Xuan immediately began to act.

He first found a large wooden bucket, filled it with water, and placed it on the stove.

Although the medicinal bath needed to wait until he finished his training, to avoid being too exhausted afterward, Chen Xuan decided to prepare it first.

After getting everything ready, Chen Xuan instructed Shitou to start boiling the water in the evening before leaving home.

His destination was the Back Mountain.

Naturally, he couldn't do the pounding nearby, otherwise, the villagers might think he was possessed.

The place he chose was at the foot of the Back Mountain, a spot Chen Xuan had observed and confirmed over the past few days.

On one hand, it was hidden, and on the other hand, there were enough large trees there to help him pound his body.

As for hunting today, Chen Xuan didn't plan to continue.

Anyway, there was enough food at home for ten days to half a month, so he didn't need to worry too much.

Soon, his figure arrived at the forest at the foot of the Back Mountain.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Xuan came before a large tree that was at least fifty or sixty centimeters thick, squatted into a horse stance, and then punched out towards the large tree.

He didn't hold back. Since it was pounding, Chen Xuan knew that the greater the force, the greater the effect would be.

The force hitting the tree caused a huge recoil, making him involuntarily gasp.

However, he didn't stop at this moment. His other hand punched out again.

"Bang bang bang!"

In the Jungle, sounds of impact quickly rang out.

Amidst these sounds of impact, Chen Xuan's hands quickly became bloody and bruised, but he paid no attention. When his hands were completely powerless, he took off his upper garment and used the front and back of his body to hit the trees.

After hitting with his upper body, he moved on to his lower body.

When he was tired, he would rest for a while, then continue hitting.
