Forty-second Chapter Adding Points

The sun is equal.

It cast its radiance upon Yao Xingzhi, and it would bestow the same brilliance upon others.

Except for Iron Butcher, who turned and walked back into the woods.

Cheng Tingxue, stunned, lay in Chen Feng's arms, quietly gazing at the face close before her.

The dawn light pierced through, and golden rays gently sprinkled her cheeks, making Chen Feng's features appear even more crisp and defined.

Chen Feng and Su Wanqing were overjoyed.

"Senior Brother Yao!" ×2

As Chen Feng shouted, he paused, looking suspiciously at Fifth Senior Sister, as if asking:

Why are you excited too?

Didn't you two come together?

Su Wanqing, bouncing, ran to Yao Xingzhi's side and asked:

"Senior Brother, did you follow me because you were worried about me?"

Yao Xingzhi replied without hesitation:

"No, some escorts came to the martial arts school asking for help, saying Chen Feng was in danger, so I left the city. I didn't expect Junior Sister you to be here too."

"Could this be the tacit understanding between fellow disciples?"

Chen Feng's mouth twitched.

Tacit understanding my ass.

Anyone would know this wasn't the way to answer, yet Senior Brother Yao's thought process was peculiar.

She didn't hear the answer she wanted.

Su Wanqing turned away in a huff, then remembered Chen Feng and the other were still there, a blush involuntarily rising to her face.

However...

She quickly adjusted, looking teasingly at Chen Feng and saying:

"Speaking of which, Junior Brother, why haven't you put Sister Tingxue down yet? Are you planning to carry her home like this?"

Chen Feng was stunned.

He quickly put Cheng Tingxue down.

A bit awkward.

He had held her for too long, his muscles had gotten used to it, and Cheng Tingxue wasn't heavy, so he had forgotten.

Cheng Tingxue's face also turned red.

Because she had forgotten too.

Su Wanqing ran over and supported Cheng Tingxue's arm, scolding:

"Why didn't you tell me about such a big matter beforehand? If I hadn't sent someone to the Cheng Family to inquire, I wouldn't have known you were coming back."

"And you, knowing that Lu Hong wanted to make a move on you, why didn't you play it safe and wait until your uncle returns next month."

"Do you know how worried I was?"

Cheng Tingxue turned and hugged Su Wanqing tightly.

Tears flowed uncontrollably: "Wuwu... I thought I would never be able to come back..."

Su Wanqing's voice faltered.

She gently placed her hand on Cheng Tingxue's back, her own eyes also moistening.

After sending Cheng Tingxue back to the Cheng Family, Chen Feng went to the escort agency again.

And for the next few days.

He stayed in the martial arts hall.

During this period, the Cheng Family sent Chen Feng the things he wanted most – Cultivation Techniques, silver, and tonics.

Among these, Chen Feng was most concerned about the Cultivation Techniques; with a Cultivation Technique, his experience would have a place to be used.

"Mountain Splitting Palm Technique..."

Chen Feng picked up the copy of the Cultivation Technique sent by the Cheng Family, and the figure of Cheng Li appeared in his mind.

When Cheng Li killed the mountain bandits, Chen Feng had seen him use a palm technique, and it was likely this Mountain Splitting Palm Technique.

Then there was the martial arts hall.

Master Zhou Bingzhong, upon learning that Chen Feng had entered the Bone Forging Realm by tempering his leg bones, also gave him a Martial Art called Grasshopper Step.

It's a Lightness Skill.

Legend has it that once mastered, running speed will greatly increase, making movement on grass as swift as low-altitude flight.

After briefly flipping through the two martial arts, Chen Feng called up the system panel, confirming that the system had recorded them. His eyes lit up.

[Name: Chen Feng]
[Experience]: 12774
[Cultivation Techniques]: Five Elements Fist Technique, Tai Chi Profound Origin Technique, Mountain Splitting Palm Technique (Beginner), Grasshopper Step (Beginner)

He had worked so hard for so long.

Wasn't it all for this moment!

"System! Add points!"

As Chen Feng shouted in his heart.

The proficiency of Mountain Splitting Palm Technique and Grasshopper Step began to soar. Streams of warmth surged within him.

Beside Chen Feng were the tonics sent by the Cheng Family.

To deal with sudden situations.

Perhaps because he had already entered the Bone Forging Realm, the level of Mountain Splitting Palm Technique was not as high as the Five Elements Fist.

This time, there was no exhaustion of Blood Qi. Instead, there was surplus Blood Qi, which spontaneously tempered the bones of Chen Feng's hands.

The moment Mountain Splitting Palm Technique advanced to Perfection.

Chen Feng's hands trembled, along with his forearms, completing bone forging.

He was like someone who had practiced for many years, every move of Mountain Splitting Palm Technique was deeply ingrained in his memory.

"Awesome!"

However, his experience also dropped rapidly.

It seemed that as Chen Feng's realm grew higher, the experience required for any martial art would increase.

In the blink of an eye, his experience was depleted.

He couldn't even upgrade Grasshopper Step to Perfection, only barely reaching the Proficient level.

However, it did help Chen Feng temper a few bones in his hips.

He felt full of strength.

After tempering multiple bones, Chen Feng truly felt the immense gap between the Bone Forging Realm and the Blood Refining Realm!

This was a qualitative leap!

Even without learning leg techniques, he felt he could kick his past self from a few days ago like a soccer ball.

His bones were unbelievably hard.

Moreover, with each additional bone tempered, there was a synergistic effect between the bones. Each bone brought a significant increase to his overall combat power.

It could even nourish the surrounding skeletal muscles.

Achieving an effect far greater than 1+1=2.

[Name: Chen Feng]
[Experience]: 74
[Cultivation Techniques]: Five Elements Fist Technique (Mastered), Tai Chi Profound Origin Technique (Mastered), Mountain Splitting Palm Technique (Mastered), Grasshopper Step (Proficient)

"I never thought I'd reach a day where I lacked experience..."

Looking at the meager 74 on his panel, Chen Feng's eyes showed contemplation as he thought about where else he could gain experience.

He couldn't go back to trying out various professions, could he?

Wait... maybe he could?

Without a second thought, Chen Feng started with what was close at hand.

First, he found the pharmacy manager in the martial arts hall and took on the job of an apprentice. Normally, he just needed to learn basic pharmacology and help sort herbs.

He gained several hundred experience points daily.

If he could observe the old manager tending the fire and refining herbs, he would gain even more experience.

It didn't interfere with his martial arts practice and brought in extra experience – a perfect win-win situation.

However...

What Chen Feng never expected was.

After working as an apprentice for a few days, the system underwent an unexpected change--

[The Classic of Herbal Medicine]: Novice (0/100)

Chen Feng: "This is possible too?!"

This The Classic of Herbal Medicine was a medical book given to him by the manager. Chen Feng had only picked it up to flip through it today.

I didn't expect the system could not only record cultivation techniques and martial arts, but also non-martial arts books like these.

Chen Feng looked at the panel and swallowed.

A thought suddenly popped into his mind...

He immediately set off for a bookstore in the city and bought two books.

[Danqing Essentials]: Beginner (0/100)

[Music Theory]: Beginner (0/100)

As expected.

Chen Feng looked at the words on the panel and fell into thought.

This meant he could even become an all-around talent through experience, mastering Zither, Chess, Calligraphy, and Painting.

"No, no, what am I doing with those things? It's not my main business."

Chen Feng threw the messy thoughts to the back of his mind and turned to buy another book, titled Bone Setting Essentials.

He was currently in the Bone Forging Realm.

If he could further understand his body through medical knowledge, it would definitely speed up his bone forging!

This essential recorded the approximate locations of the human meridians, as well as detailed information about the more than 200 bones in the human body.

Chen Feng's eyes gleamed. He felt he had discovered a shortcut, no longer needing to pursue collecting martial arts and spending a lot of experience.

Even if a martial art was raised to perfection.

Its help to Chen Feng's realm was still limited, and he still had to slowly practice punches and temper himself.

But now.

Chen Feng could completely use medical knowledge to draw inferences about other cases and improve his efficiency!
