Health Cultivation Technique at Perfect Accomplishment, Aptitude Improved, Strength Refining Realm Martial Artist!

Taking out the Spare Hunting Bow left behind by his predecessor's father, Chen Mo remembered that his former body had been too weak to draw it fully. Now, not only could he draw it to the full extent, he even had strength to spare.

"To draw this bow fully requires a Hundred Jin of force. It seems my strength has already surpassed that standard."

With that thought, Chen Mo set down the bow. Surpassing a Hundred Jin of force meant he had reached the standard of an ordinary Adult. However, he was not yet sixteen, so even if his body met the standard, he could not obtain the village's martial arts manuals.

But the Health Cultivation Technique was only at Minor Accomplishment and nowhere near its limit, so there was no need to rush into acquiring a new technique.

"I should improve my current skills and techniques first."

Having arrived in such a completely new world, even after absorbing his predecessor's memories, Chen Mo still could not immediately fit into it. Moreover, he severely lacked a sense of security.

Entry-level Archery and a Minor Accomplishment Health Cultivation Technique were far from enough. He had to become stronger.

There was still food left at home, so there was no need to head out immediately. Chen Mo decided to lie low at home for a while and raise his strength.

After all, he only had one life.

If he carelessly threw it away, then he would truly be dead.

Just like that, three days quickly passed...

Chen Mo used all three opportunities for Epiphany on the Health Cultivation Technique, successfully raising it to Perfect Accomplishment. His body underwent tremendous changes as well...

[Chen Mo]

Race: Human

Gender: Male

Age: 15/65

Aptitude: Quite Potential

Skills: Archery (Entry-level)

Technique: Health Cultivation Technique (Perfect Accomplishment)

Realm: Body Tempering (Strength Refining)

Enlightenment Count: 0

"My lifespan has increased drastically to sixty-five Years old. This body is only fifteen now—I still have a full fifty years left to live!"

At this point, the bodily problems caused by his premature birth had been resolved. The urgency surrounding his lifespan had vanished, and his physical strength had reached a fairly impressive level. Chen Mo felt that if he faced himself from three days ago now, he could take on dozens of them!

His gaze shifted to the aptitude and realm information on the panel.

"After the Health Cultivation Technique reached Perfect Accomplishment, my aptitude actually improved along with it. My realm is finally no longer Trash Tier either—it has risen to the Strength Refining Realm. Does that mean I count as a martial artist now?"

After testing it, Chen Mo found that the force of one arm now exceeded Three Hundred Jin. Both his strength and agility far surpassed those of ordinary people.

The improvement in his physique directly caused his appetite to grow greatly. The Rice Jar at home was nearly empty, and most of the meat hanging from the rafters had been eaten. At most, it would last another two days.

How to solve the problem of food became his top priority.

If possible, Chen Mo truly did not want to enter the mountains to hunt. The danger was simply too high.

But he had no other choice.

Over the past three days, aside from his daily Epiphanies, he had investigated the area around the house and confirmed that the cliff was impossible to climb, while the river genuinely had no fish.

The latter left Chen Mo deeply disappointed.

If there had been fish in the river, then with the skills he had retained from his previous life as a Fisherman, he would not have needed to risk entering the mountains.

Unfortunately, there were no fish.

So he could only choose to enter the mountains and hunt.

Looking at his merely entry-level Archery skill, Chen Mo decided to spend the next two days' two Epiphanies on it. Chen Family Village stood against Mang Mountain, surrounded by Hilly Area, with little land suitable for cultivation.

Supporting himself by farming was clearly unrealistic.

To pay taxes—and even more so, to stay alive—almost everyone in the village entered the mountains to hunt.

To ensure the safety of hunting, the Village Chief had specifically organized a Hunting Team. It was led by Chen Chao, the village's only martial artist. Once prey was caught, it would be distributed according to each person's contribution.

The Hunting Team generally went deep into Mang Mountain in search of prey. The deeper they went, the more prey there was, but naturally, the greater the danger.

If one hunted only around the outer fringes of Mang Mountain, there was no need to follow the Hunting Team. People generally acted alone in family units.

His predecessor's parents had hunted alone in the outer region, only to encounter an accident. They ran into a Wolf Pack and were both Sacrificed to Heaven.

"Once my Archery skill improves, I'll hunt in the outer region first."

Chen Mo felt no sense of belonging toward Chen Family Village. His own strength had already reached the Strength Refining Realm, making him a martial artist, and he was only going to the outer fringes of Mang Mountain. He decided to head out alone and give it a try, even if there was a certain degree of danger.

Still, relying on others was worse than relying on himself. A person always had to take that step.

With those thoughts in mind, two days swiftly passed...

That night, Chen Mo ate the last of the food in the house. It barely filled his stomach, but his eyes were firm.

"No choice left. I'll head out to hunt first thing tomorrow morning!"

After two Epiphanies, perhaps because his aptitude had improved, his Archery skill directly reached Great Accomplishment.

Chen Mo had tested it. Within fifty meters, he could now almost hit wherever he pointed, with incomparable accuracy. As the distance increased, however, his accuracy declined accordingly, as did the power of his arrows.

With the Hunting Bow at home, even when fully drawn, it only possessed considerable killing power within thirty meters. Any farther than that, and it would not do.

It should be enough.

Nothing happened during the night. Early the next morning, before dawn had broken, Chen Mo—too preoccupied to sleep—finished packing and left home. There was nothing left to eat in the house, so naturally, there was no breakfast to have.

Following the river, Chen Mo made his way to the village's residential area. He did not see anyone; the villagers were still asleep. Only at the village gate did he spot two villagers patrolling to guard against wild beast attacks.

They noticed him immediately.

"You are... Chen Mo?" A rather tall villager walked over.

Seeing Chen Mo holding a Hunting Bow, with a Firewood Saber at his waist and a Quiver on his back, fully armed, his face was filled with confusion.

In his memory, Chen Mo had always been a Sickly person, someone who had to gasp for breath after taking only a few steps. Why did he seem completely different now?

Chen Mo truly was different.

After the Health Cultivation Technique reached Perfect Accomplishment, his bodily problems had been completely resolved. Over the past few days of "gorging himself," he had finished food that should have lasted half a month in less than a week, replenishing some of his nutrition.

In a short time, he had shot up noticeably in height. He still looked thin, but once his clothes came off, one could see that his entire body was packed with lean muscle, brimming with explosive power. His spirit and appearance were even more different than night and day.

"Brother Yu, Brother Hao."

After greeting them, Chen Mo had no intention of chatting. He immediately strode out of the village.

In his memory, his predecessor had not been familiar with them. Or rather, other than his own parents, his predecessor had not been familiar with anyone in the village. After all, he never left home, and his house stood somewhat off to the side, so hardly anyone ever came by.

Seeing Chen Mo lower his head and hurry straight out of the village, both men froze. By the time they came to their senses, Chen Mo had already reached the outskirts and quickened his pace, vanishing into the curtain of darkness.

"That was Chen Mo?!" Chen Yu exclaimed in surprise.

Chen Hao, who had spoken earlier, wore the same expression. "It should have been him."

"How did he change so much?! And he left the village this early too. From the looks of it, he seemed to be going hunting. He dared leave the village alone—does he not want his life anymore?!" Chen Yu frowned.

"After Uncle Qiang and the others died unexpectedly, Chen Mo had no other way. He could only rely on himself. He must only be going to the outer region. The Wolf Pack from before was mostly killed by Uncle Chao and his men, so there should not be much danger out there."

"Let's hope so. I feel like we should tell the Village Chief about this."

"Alright. You go notify the Village Chief. I'll continue patrolling."

"Mm."

"..."

Unaware of their conversation, Chen Mo had never left the village before and possessed zero hunting experience, so he did not think too much about it. Following the road, he hurried alone toward Mang Mountain...
