Thirty-six styles of spear techniques.

Each path has eighteen variations.

Chen Sanshi forced himself to finish practicing the first three sets.

However, at the same time, with the help of the breathing technique, Song Yan also finished practicing stance training and began practicing spear techniques, catching up quite a bit in terms of progress.

"I wish I could practice until I could be faster!"

Chen Sanshi stopped.

He planned to pause and improve his archery skills to a minor proficiency level.

When he last broke through to mastery, his bones and physique improved somewhat. If he achieves minor success in the next stage, the effect might be even better.

"Have a meal!"

The garrison is about 20 li away from Yanbian Village, which is neither too close nor too far.

To save time, he didn't go home for dinner, but instead went to a small restaurant in Juntun Village run by an elderly retired couple.

"Five catties of cooked beef, a bucket of rice, and a chicken."

Before Chen Sanshi and Zhu Tong could even start eating after ordering, more people came over and sat down.

"You lazy bum, what are you doing here?!"

Zhu Tong didn't give him a friendly look.

"Brother Chen!"

Xu Wencai ignored him and said to Shi Ge'er with a grin, "My salary won't be paid until next month. I'm penniless and really hungry. Can I have some with you?"

"of course."

Chen Sanshi added two more side dishes and some staple food.

"Brother Chen is truly a righteous man; he's destined for great things!"

Xu Wencai unceremoniously tore off a chicken leg and ate it with his mouth full of oil.

"Stone, you're just too kind-hearted!"

Zhu Tong cursed, "What's the use of feeding him? He's a good-for-nothing."

"Who's the good-for-nothing? Who knows, you might even benefit from my influence someday! Besides, I'm not going to eat for nothing. I'll explain the state of the world to you and broaden your horizons!"

Xu Wencai quickly devoured the chicken leg, sucking on the bone until not a single piece of meat remained. Then, he licked his lips and asked in a very low voice, "Gentlemen, what do you think of the destiny of the Great Sheng Dynasty?"

"Of course, it's never-ending."

Zhu Tong said sullenly, "Although the officials are all more and more despicable than the last, there are still more than two million soldiers and many generals. I heard that the rebellion in the south has been successfully suppressed."

"wrong!"

While Xu Wencai kept talking, he secretly tore off another chicken leg.

Zhu Tong looked around to make sure no one was there, and then said, "You mean, the barbarians will eventually destroy our Great Sheng?"

"Big mistake!"

Xu Wencai shook his head repeatedly: "These barbarians may seem fierce on the surface these past few years, but with Commander Sun around, they'll ultimately be unable to achieve anything great."

"I dare say that the downfall of Dasheng will be due to the people!"

"Don't be fooled by the fact that these rebellions are always quickly suppressed. They will reappear soon. In the long run, there will be a time when they can no longer be suppressed."

At this moment, Chen Sanshi interjected, "This is called a single spark that can start a prairie fire."

"hiss--"

Xu Wencai was visibly taken aback upon hearing this, smacked his lips as if savoring a glass of wine, and then slapped his thigh: "Brilliant line! Absolutely brilliant line!"

That's exactly what I meant!

Brother Chen, you truly deserve to be called a fellow scholar; to utter such a brilliant line!

"I didn't say that..."

Chen Sanshi explained, "Brother Xu, please continue."

"Cough cough!"

Xu Wencai cleared his throat: "I predict that within five years, the world will be in complete chaos! The fate of the Great Sheng Dynasty will be completely exhausted! Only then will it be the day when I, Mr. Wolong, can realize my grand ambitions!"

"Pull him down!"

Zhu Tong found it tedious: "All you do is brag all day long. You should think about how to master the stance training first. If you can't even learn stance training, you're not even fit to be a soldier. You'll have to go raise horses or build city walls."

Chen Sanshi looked at Xu Wencai, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Having received nine years of education, it is not surprising that he could see the end of the prosperous era and the coming of chaos in this world.

But Xu Wencai is a native, and a rural native at that, so it is not easy for him to make such a judgment.

Although his constant attempts to frame the prime minister are somewhat embarrassing, he probably does have something to offer.

After their chat, the group buried themselves in their food.

Eat and drink enough.

Chen Sanshi stopped practicing martial arts and instead took his bow and arrows to the shooting range.

The more chaos ensues, the more he must strengthen himself, not only by being highly capable but also by holding a high position, so that he can remain unscathed amidst the turmoil.

Draw a bow and set an arrow.

"Bang bang bang bang-"

On the training ground, sounds like thunderclaps echoed.

After shooting more than fifty arrows, Chen Sanshi's arms began to ache, but he dared not stop and continued to aim and fire one arrow after another.

"Crash-"

"Follow!"

"..."

By the afternoon, the military camp suddenly became restless.

I saw several centurions gathering their soldiers, a group of over three hundred men. I was fully armed and hurriedly set off towards Poyang County.

'The fact that they're not going to the Great Wall indicates that it's not an enemy invasion.'

'But what could possibly be happening in Poyang County that warrants mobilizing so many people?'

'It's highly likely they'll continue with a city-wide manhunt for the barbarian assassins.'

Not long ago, Chen Sanshi thought that barbarian assassins had nothing to do with him in this lifetime, but now it seems that he might have to participate in the operation later.

"Never mind, let's continue practicing archery."

"Bang bang bang bang-"

As the army passed through the firing range, the centurions were all drawn to the deafening sound of the arrows.

"Ha, has this kid given up? Instead of practicing martial arts, he's come here to practice archery."

Xiong Baihu had a bamboo skewer in his mouth.

"Without breathing techniques, the pain during cultivation is doubled; how could an ordinary person endure that?"

Liu Baihu exclaimed in surprise, "A two-stone bow? Hitting the target every time at seventy paces? This kid is quite the archer!"

"It really is."

Xiong Baihu also looked surprised.

Liu Baihu clicked his tongue in amazement: "I wonder what he did to offend Tianyuan Martial Arts School. What a pity, what a pity..."

"Yo ho."

Xiong Baihu raised an eyebrow: "Old Liu, your gaze is a bit ambiguous. Are you tempted?"

"I do really appreciate talent."

Looking at the shooting range, Liu Baihu said, "How about this, I'll ask the young master later what this kid did to offend him. If it's not something serious, I'll help settle it."

"It's a promise, you can't steal my person."

"I don't have the time or inclination for that."

Xiong Baihu looked to his left: "Wang Pangzi, what about you?"

"I, Wang Zhi, have seen real geniuses in the Eighth Battalion. Would I look down on this kind of trash?"

Wang Zhi scoffed: "Let's hurry up and go to the city to fool around, then we can go drinking and carousing tonight."

……

"boom--"

On the firing range.

Chen Sanshi practiced alone from day to night.

To save time, he didn't even go out for dinner, but just asked Zhu Tong to bring him some meat and dry food.

Exhausted.

Ershi's bow became incredibly heavy.

Chen Sanshi slowly raised his arm, hooked the bowstring with trembling fingers, and shot an arrow with all his might.

"boom--"

The arrow pierced the target again.

At the same time, the panel reappeared.

[Skill: Archery (Minor Mastery)]

Progress: (0/1000)

[Effects: Amazingly long arms and a wasp waist; extraordinary bone structure; a single, swift arrow; able to hit a willow leaf from a hundred paces away.]
