Journey Through the Heavens: Starting with Chinese Martial Arts!

Second-stage mutated warriors have tough skin that is difficult to injure with ordinary swords and blades, and even first-stage mutated life-preserving warriors have difficulty breaking through their defenses, but second-stage mutated warriors who are exhausted are an exception.

Seeing that he hadn't killed her with one strike, Chen Jueshang swung his sword several times in succession, each strike delivered with all his might, and finally managed to sever the head of the Feather Clan girl. At the same time, a lot of blood pooled on the ground.

"As expected, the physical body undergoes nine transformations, each one a difficult hurdle to overcome. If she hadn't been exhausted, I might have actually failed."

"If this happens again in the future, I'll have to be prepared with several backup plans to avoid being caught off guard."

Chen Jueshang pondered to himself, then began to loot the corpse.

However, perhaps because the winged girl had a higher status, she had nothing on her except for her bronze armor and bronze halberd.

You're a complete scumbag!

"It's time to leave. If the Feather Clan experts come, I might not be able to escape." Chen Jueshang slung his wood-chopping knife over his shoulder, carried his bronze armor in one hand and a bronze halberd in the other, and quickly left.

Unfortunately, the bronze armor was designed for women, so he, a grown man, couldn't use it or wear it. He could only wait until he went out to see if he could ask his second uncle for help.

As for the bronze halberd, he didn't plan to get rid of it. It was a good weapon for both melee and ranged combat. He would wait until he found a better one before making a move.

……

"Luckily, it's still there." Chen Jueshang quickly returned to the fighting site. The tiger-lion beast's corpse was still there. Perhaps because of its lingering aura, no wild beasts came near, which saved him trouble.

Although the tiger-lion beast was large, Chen Jueshang was quite strong. He could carry it home with both hands without any major problems. His only worry was whether there would be any wild beasts blocking the way.

……

In a short while, Chen Jueshang carried the tiger-lion beast's corpse out of Longhu Mountain. No wild beasts blocked the way, and no foolish wild animals jumped out.

Above the corpse, a bronze halberd stood upright, piercing through the blood-stained armor.

The outside world was bathed in the glow of the setting sun. He had spent the entire noon searching for wild beasts, observing the battle between the winged girl and the tiger-lion beast, and then fighting with the winged girl himself. It had indeed taken him quite a while.

"Hurry home so your parents won't worry." Chen Jueshang carried the tiger-lion beast's corpse in his hands and ran towards Chen Family Village. Even with such a heavy load, he still moved as smoothly as water.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, when the sun was only half-reflected in the sky, Chen Jueshang finally caught sight of Chen Family Village. Two figures stood at the gate, and he could vaguely make out their outlines with his eyesight.

It was his parents.

Chen Jueshang immediately strode over, carrying the enormous corpse of the wild beast, which immediately attracted the curious gazes of many people.

"Is this a second-stage molting beast?"

"It seems to be Chen Xing's son. I never expected him to dare hunt a second-stage beast after only one transformation. He's truly fearless!"

"Who says otherwise? My kid may be a second-stage molting beast, but he doesn't even dare to hunt second-stage molting wild beasts!"

"..."

As Chen Xing and Su Hui watched their son approach from afar and listened to the whispers of the people around them, they felt a surge of joy.

They were overjoyed to be able to hunt down beasts that had undergone two transformations in their first transformation, but they were also filled with fear.

Chen's mother, Su Hui, clenched her fingers so tightly that her knuckles turned white, which was enough to prove her fear and worry.

"Father, Mother." Chen Jueshang came to his parents.

"You've worked hard." Su Hui looked at her son's tender twelve-year-old appearance and then at the blood-stained hemp clothes on his body. The gentle Su Hui almost burst into tears and hugged Chen Jueshang.

Chen Jueshang felt his hair getting hot, knowing his mother was crying. He comforted her in his childish voice, "Mother, I'm fine. This blood is from the tiger-lion beast. I wasn't hurt at all."

"Alright, let's go back first." Chen Xing glanced at the bronze halberd and armor on the tiger-lion beast's corpse, then looked at the woodcutter's knife behind Chen Jueshang, which had previously been ripped open with a few small holes but now had a large ripped hole. He knew in his heart that this journey must be extremely dangerous.

Judging from the bronze halberd and armor, it is very likely that they encountered the Feathered Clan who were hunting.

……

Along the way, the tiger-lion beast corpses attracted the amazement, envy, and jealousy of many teenagers, while the adults were used to it. The only thing that could attract attention was the bronze halberd and the armor.

As soon as they got home, Chen's mother cut off a few pieces of tiger-lion meat and went to the kitchen. Chen's father began to ask about the trip to Longhu Mountain. Chen Jueshang did not hide anything and told the whole story in detail.

After listening to Chen Jueshang's account, Chen's father remained silent for a long time before speaking: "Tomorrow, go to your second uncle's place and explain what happened today to him."

"Yes, I was just thinking of asking my second uncle to help me deal with this bronze armor." Chen Jueshang nodded.

Father Chen glanced at the bronze halberd: "If you want to keep this bronze halberd, you'll need to do some processing. The bronze artifacts of the Feather Clan are usually engraved with their clan patterns."

……

As the last embers of the setting sun disappeared, it was soon time for dinner. The family sat down at the table, where the food was the meat of a two-molted tiger-lion beast. The aroma filled the air, whetting everyone's appetite.

Chen Jueshang wolfed down his food until he could eat no more. Only then did he get up and go to the backyard to practice his boxing, circulating his internal energy techniques to digest the food as he practiced.

After digesting his food, Chen Jueshang saw that the moon and stars were sparse, so he immediately returned to his room and lay down, but his thoughts lingered in his mind.

At this moment, the copper sheet, which had been dormant for many years, emitted a soft, shimmering light, surrounded by starlight, creating a magnificent scene like the vast Ganges River.

"Twelve years have passed, and the cheat system has finally reacted. It's been a long time!" Chen Jueshang looked at the bronze plate helplessly. If he hadn't killed the Feather Clan girl today, the cheat system might not have reacted at all until his death.

【The Lord of the Broken Bronze Mirror: Chen Jueshang】

[Realm Level: One Star (Common)]

[Martial Arts: One-Star Tiger Fist]

【Original Source: 1 (Improvement/No)】

[Available Source: 2 (Reflecting the Heavens/Traversing Myriad Worlds)]

-

"The All-Heavens Golden Finger?" Looking at the semi-transparent panel displayed on the bronze plate, Chen Jueshang understood. His gaze fell on the [Origin] column: "Origin should refer to a person's talent, comprehension, and intelligence, among other factors. The higher the origin, the stronger the talent and the more extraordinary the comprehension."

His gaze continued downwards, finally settling on the "Usable Source" section: "Usable Source is two? Source is personal source, usable source should be obtained by harvesting other people's source."

"So that winged woman's innate talent is twice that of mine. With such innate talent, plus what she said, she is very likely a genius-level figure in the winged race. So I defeated a genius?"

Chen Jueshang continued to look at the two options after "available source": "Reflecting the heavens and traversing the myriad worlds... The former should reflect certain things, and the latter is traversing the heavens and myriad worlds."

He first focused his thoughts on traversing countless worlds, and then a row of options popped up in front of him.

[Do you/would you spend 1 unit of Origin to randomly travel to a one-star world?]

Chen Jueshang clicked "no," then lightly touched the "Reflecting the Heavens" button in front of him, and the next second—

[Can I use a source random mapping for 1 point?]
