"Is it Tianyuan Martial Arts School?"

Stepping out of the tent, Chen Sanshi recalled the conversation he had just had.

Since it was Tianyuan Martial Arts School that caused the trouble, it means that Qin Feng was the one who did it.

The fact that he was able to get the young master of Tianyuan to help him means that their relationship is extraordinary. Could it be that he has received the true teachings?

In addition, the centurion asked him if he had a grudge against the Liang family and whether he was planning to help him.

Wang Zhi's rapid change of attitude was unexpected, but upon closer reflection, it made perfect sense.

It's highly likely that you are of value to others.

However, Chen Sanshi took it all in stride and didn't find it hypocritical.

So-called social etiquette is essentially about you helping me and me helping you.

Where do so many genuine feelings come from when we're not related by blood or marriage?

Therefore, Chen Sanshi did not really expect Wang Zhi to help him solve this problem; he still needed to focus on cultivating and improving his strength.

Back to the training ground.

The commotion he caused earlier was so great that everyone was now looking at him with disbelief.

"Stone, how did you do that?"

Zhu Tong was incredibly impressed: "I just saw that Song Yan's second uncle turned green with anger after hearing about this!"

"..."

Chen Sanshi was speechless.

This is yet another person I've offended.

But it doesn't matter. He can't just back down because he's afraid of offending people.

"I'll go home first."

Chen Sanshi didn't waste any time chatting; he packed his things and left the military camp.

Eating at restaurants all the time is not cost-effective; it's best to buy meat and cook it yourself.

After he left, within a few hours, the story of how he mastered spearmanship overnight without using breathing techniques spread throughout the entire Poyang Left Army Thousand-Household Garrison.

Many new recruits who originally intended to compete for the "striker" spot have given up due to psychological breakdown, and their goals have basically shifted to the infantry.

It wasn't until two days later that people gradually started practicing their marksmanship.

The fastest among this group was naturally Song Yan.

On the third day, he finally learned how to shoot with the help of breathing techniques, but he was still very frustrated.

"Second Uncle, I can't compare to Chen Sanshi."

In a two-courtyard house, Song Yan lowered his head, his tone dejected.

"Even if we can't beat them, we still have to compete!"

Luo Dongquan said angrily, "You still have a chance before you've even cultivated your Qi and blood."

Two servants came into the courtyard carrying trays.

On the tray were steaming hot boiled meat and offal, and most striking of all was a dark yellow, slender, and slightly twisted organ.

"That's the guts of a leopard."

Luo Dongquan said, "Bear heart and leopard gall are considered a highly nourishing medicine. Starting today, you should eat one every day. This will not only nourish your body but also help you accelerate the cultivation of qi and blood. Each leopard gall costs ten taels of silver, which is beyond the reach of that kid's family."

“Second Uncle, he’s a hunter,” Song Yan said. “And I’ve heard he’s a very skilled hunter.”

Upon hearing this, Luo Dongquan couldn't help but laugh.

"Hunters? Why do you think those hunters outside Poyang County are so poor that they can't even pay their taxes?"

"The truly valuable things in Tiger Head Mountain are all deep in the mountains north of the Second Mountain. The prey there rarely come out, and the hunters dare not go in casually."

"What?"

"Why? Because they're poor!"

Luo Dongquan said in a deep voice, "The poor only need to barely survive; they don't have the opportunity to make money. It's that simple."

"That's why I'm doing everything I can to help you climb higher. Only by climbing high enough can you bully others instead of being bullied!"

"Second Uncle, why do you always have to bully others?"

Song Yan was somewhat puzzled.

"idiot!"

Luo Dongquan got angry: "You'd better eat your leopard's gall! As for that fatso, he's extravagant and extremely greedy, he would never take out any real money to support that kid surnamed Chen."

……

"call--"

After completing a set of marksmanship techniques combined with breathing exercises, Chen Sanshi was covered in sweat and immediately poured a bucket of cold water over himself.

[Technique: Basic Soldier Spear Techniques (Beginner Level)]

Progress: (38/100)

[Effect: None]

"Developing qi and blood is not as simple as Zhu Tong said."

He sat on the rock for a long time before he caught his breath.

Chen Sanshi has been practicing day and night for the past two days, but he has only made this much progress. He is still quite far from truly mastering the basics.

"Brother Shi, dinner's ready," Gu Xinlan called out.

"coming."

Chen Sanshi sat down at the table, grabbed a whole piece of beef shank, and started gnawing on it.

Gu Xinlan said with concern, "You must be exhausted lately."

"good."

Chen Sanshi asked, "Is the family running out of money?"

"There is one or three taels of silver left."

Gu Xinlan remembered every detail of the house clearly: "It can hold on for a few more days."

"Learning martial arts is really expensive..."

Chen Sanshi was speechless.

In just a few days, he ate all the silver he had saved at home.

Even so, he still showed signs of blood and qi deficiency.

It seems that the meat of ordinary livestock has limited effects, and we have to eat wild game.

Chen Sanshi said, "I'll go up the mountain this afternoon."

"Are you going to fight Hei Xiazi with Uncle Zhao and the others?" Gu Xinlan asked nervously, "You have to be careful."

"Well, don't worry."

Chen Sanshi put down his chopsticks and bowl, and there was a knock on the door outside.

It was Zhao Qiao and his group.

Zhao Qiao carried a basket of fish, Wu Da held a jar of honey, and there was also a kind-looking young hunter leading a black and gray greyhound.

After introductions, I learned that his surname was Zhuang and his given name was Yi.

The four of them traveled together and easily found their way to the second mountain.

"South of the Second Mountain, there are plenty of things to fight, but not many things that are valuable."

Zhao Qiao said, "Including that black bear, he's actually from the north, so normally it wouldn't be our turn to take action. But that beast has developed a habit of eating people, and he's very clever."

"It can't afford to mess with people who practice martial arts, so every year around this time, it sneaks off to the south side of the second mountain or the first mountain to attack hunters who come up to hunt."

"Even beasts bully ordinary people!" Zhuang Yi said indignantly.

"arrive."

Wu Da pointed ahead: "Sanluzi and several other hunters all got into trouble in this area."

They stopped on a relatively open and flat grassy area, placed the bait they had brought on the ground, and then hid in the woods in the distance, intending to rely on the autumn wind to spread the fragrance and attract the bears.

After waiting for a long time, nothing happened.

"Let me do it."

Chen Sanshi didn't want to embarrass them before, but since this tactic didn't work, he decided not to waste any more time.

[Tracing and Concealing Clues (Master)]

【Progress: 350/500】

[Effects: Amazing insight, agile as a swallow]

It had been a while since I'd gone hunting in the mountains, so I decided to take this opportunity to improve my skills.

With keen eyesight, he soon found a piece of rotten fruit peel in the nearby grass, followed by a cylindrical dropping of insects under the bushes.

For Chen Sanshi, as long as he could pinpoint a general area, there was no trace he couldn't find.

After he found it, the hunting dog followed and barked excitedly, seemingly in awe.

Being worshipped by a dog feels a little strange, doesn't it?

"Hey, Brother Chen, you're amazing!"

Zhuang Yi bluntly said, "You're even more formidable than a dog!"

"Can't you speak properly?"

Wu Da patted him on the back of the head: "Brother Shi, this is a great skill, you should learn from him!"

Chen Sanshi gestured for silence and continued walking forward.

After traveling about four miles, they came to a valley with a stream running through the middle of it.

From a distance, Chen Sanshi could see traces of many medium and large animals in the woods across the stream.

"North Mountain is right across from us!"

Wu Da remarked with emotion, "Not only are there many large animals in there, but there's also a chance to encounter exotic beasts; just one of them can make you rich."

"Unfortunately, we have to avoid the Jinyi (military officers) and dare not go there easily. If we offend the martial arts school disciples, we'll be in big trouble!"

Chen Sanshi had already heard about it: "What exactly does it mean to 'provoke' someone?"

There is no standard.

Zhuang Yi chimed in, "Whoever you don't like will be unlucky."

"But Brother Shi, you're different."

Wu Da said, "If you become a military officer in the future, you won't have to be afraid of them!"

Falling behind at one step leads to falling behind at every step.

If one couldn't become a banner officer, one wouldn't even be qualified to hunt, and naturally, one wouldn't be allowed to.

Without wasting any time, Chen Sanshi continued westward, leading the group into a dense forest.

Once inside the area, the traces of the black bear's life became immediately apparent.

There were claw marks on the tree trunk, footprints on the ground, and stones that had been turned over.

Chen Sanshi remained cautious and did not approach, searching for the black bear.

“There is a tree hole.”

Wu Da pointed to a hollow in an ancient tree ahead: "But it seems to be empty."

As he spoke, he moved closer to take a look.

"Beware!"

Chen Sanshi keenly sensed something was wrong and quickly stopped him: "Behind you!"

Almost simultaneously, a huge figure emerged from the bushes and pounced on Wu Da, the scarred-faced man.

This beast has been waiting for a long time!

After entering the dense forest, he heard no sound and dared not get too close.

When Wu Da and his companions saw that the tree hole was empty, they assumed that the black bear had gone out to hunt for food and lowered their guard. Little did they know that the black bear, used to eating people, would turn around and actively hunt humans!

No wonder the bait didn't work!

"Boom-"

This black bear is larger than its kind, estimated to be about 2.5 meters long and weighing at least 700 or 800 kilograms. It can be said that getting close to it will cause injury or death!

Before Wu Da could even retrieve his arrow, his bow was slapped in two, and he was about to be struck in the face by a thick bear paw.

In the blink of an eye, a wolf-tooth arrow pierced the black bear's left eye with perfect accuracy.

"Roar--"

A piercing roar rang out.

Zhao Qiao and Zhuang Yi then realized what was happening and hurriedly shot arrows.

However, due to their panic, the four-strength bows and arrows in their hands were not fully drawn, and they only pierced through the skin and stuck into the black bear's fat, failing to cause any real damage. They only drove the black bear completely mad, causing it to pounce on them like a madman.

Zhao Qiao and Zhuang Yi were too close to each other, and Zhao Qiao had no time to shoot a second arrow, so he had to run away.

The hunting dogs barked wildly nearby, but couldn't even get close.

"You beast, come and chase me!"

As Chen Sanshi spoke, he fired another arrow.

Because the bear had its back to him, he couldn't hit its vitals and could only shoot at its thick-skinned back.

However, because the bow and arrow were heavy enough, half of the arrow still went in.

"Roar!!!"

The black bear violently changed its target, charging at an extremely fast speed toward the person who caused it the most pain.

It looks clumsy, but it runs incredibly fast.

Wu Da and the other two were terrified: "Run!"

However, they soon felt relieved.

Because Chen Sanshi was faster and more agile, like a monkey, he used the dense forest to dodge and weave, causing Hei Xiazi to miss his target several times.

The arrowheads and blades of the wolf-tooth arrows continued to cut into its flesh and bones, dark red blood soaking its fur, and its speed gradually slowed down.

After Chen Sanshi created some distance, he drew his bow and nocked an arrow again.

"Shhhhh-"

One arrow after another, almost without stopping.

Two heavy bows drawn in succession, what explosive power that is!

Zhao Qiao and the others were somewhat stunned, but they didn't sit idly by; they used their light bows to provide support from the sidelines.

Before long, Hei Xiazi was hit by several arrows and became sluggish.

Chen Sanshi was certain he could defeat the beast without taking any damage, so he deliberately avoided shooting at vital points. Instead, he lured the beast out of the dense forest and, taking advantage of its weakness, raised his plum blossom spear to meet it.

How can we not make good use of such a good live target?
