36: Chapter 36 Breakthrough to Martial Artist!!
"Fortunately, I broke through to Martial Artist, otherwise that scene just now would have been quite dangerous." Clenching his fists and feeling the surging power within his body, Chen Yichuan felt extremely exhilarated.
Upon reaching the Martial Artist realm, he could feel that infusing Qi required almost no stamina. Compared to being a Quasi-Martial Artist, his endurance had increased significantly.
Just then, a system notification sounded in his ears.
'Ding'
'System Notification: Congratulations, player's Strength attribute has broken through 30 points, realm elevated to — — Martial Artist!! Additional fixed 5 points of attack, rewarded 3 free attribute points'
Panel.
[Chen Yichuan: Male; Life Profession: Jailer; Talent: Attribute Involution (Unique); Realm: Martial Artist; Strength: 30 (Note: Attack, Defense, etc., will not be written for now; will update when there is a significant improvement); Agility: 21; Stamina: 28; Spirit: 26 (Inactive); Martial Arts: Basic Fist Technique (Skillful 14/500); Basic Saber Technique (Proficient 212/1000); Rank 1 Auxiliary Martial Art "Grass-Gliding Technique" (Skillful 54/500); "Broken Feather Archery" (Skillful 145/500); "Great Mercy Palm" (Small Accomplishment (6/300)); Free Attribute Points: 3; Current Location: Taoyuan Village, Back Mountain]
3 free attribute points.
This time, Chen Yichuan chose not to hold back, as his Strength attribute was already far ahead of the rest.
"All in on the 3 free attribute points, add them to Strength."
As his voice fell, the notification sound rang out instantly.
'Ding'
'System Notification: Points added successfully, Strength: 33'
'Detected that Strength attribute has significantly surpassed Agility, unique talent — — Attribute Involution activated, Agility attribute refuses to be outdone and is frantically involuting, expected to end in 1 day and 3 hours.'
Hmm.
Listening to the system notification, Chen Yichuan couldn't help but nod, the corners of his mouth curling up.
Strength 33 points.
He was one step closer to the 50-point mark for a Ranked Martial Artist.
Just as he was immersed in joy.
"Yichuan, I've come to relieve you. You've been guarding for two days... you must be tired." Instructor Huang Hu leaped onto the cliff opening and spoke.
The moment he saw Chen Yichuan, he was dumbfounded.
The food box in his hand dropped to the ground with a thud.
"This aura, this feeling... Yichuan? You... you, you broke through? Martial Artist??"
"Am I seeing things?" Instructor Huang Hu rubbed his eyes, his pupils filled with shock.
In just a few short days.
He had broken through from an ordinary person to a Martial Artist.
If Instructor Huang Hu hadn't witnessed it himself, he wouldn't have believed it even if he were beaten to death.
'Monster!'
The thought flashed through his mind the next instant.
"Hehe, so it's Uncle Huang... I was wondering who it was. Uncle, you aren't seeing things, I did just break through to Martial Artist, it was just luck." Chen Yichuan rubbed his head and laughed happily.
In front of Uncle Huang.
His words were sincere.
Before Uncle Huang could express his excitement.
Below the mountain.
Zhang Fan's figure leaped up: "Luck? Damn it... Chen Yichuan, I really want to beat you to death."
Hmm?
Hearing Zhang Fan's voice, Chen Yichuan smiled faintly: "Beat me? Zhang Fan, can you even do it?"
Uh.
As soon as these words were out.
Zhang Fan was speechless, so he simply crossed his arms, stood to the side, and stared at him without doing anything.
"Haha, worthy of being Master Luo's nephew, your talent... is simply monstrous. Good, good, this is truly great." Instructor Huang Hu didn't hear Zhang Fan at all and was just happy.
His heavy palms patted Chen Yichuan's body excitedly.
"Uncle Huang, thanks to you along the way." Chen Yichuan cupped his hands, then lowered his voice:
"Uncle, does the purple flower fruit help with recovering from your injuries?"
Having some free time over the past two days, Chen Yichuan had been thinking about this.
Hearing this.
Instructor Huang Hu's body trembled, but he then lowered his voice helplessly and smiled bitterly: "Hehe, Yichuan, thanks for your kindness, but the purple flower fruit is only a Rank 2 precious medicine; how could it be useful to me?"
"Besides, if it were useful, Taohua and Yushan would have already given it to me."
"However, the purple flower fruit is of great help in increasing comprehension and is also a rare precious medicine."
Seeming to notice the disappointment in Chen Yichuan's eyes.
Instructor Huang Hu added intentionally or otherwise.
Hearing this.
Chen Yichuan was slightly stunned.
Comprehension?
Isn't that the Spirit attribute in the panel?
Thinking of this, Chen Yichuan lost some interest in the purple flower fruit.
Right now, he only needed things that would increase Strength.
"I see... Uncle, then I'll head back first; I've been at it for two days and two nights, I'm tired."
Hearing this.
Instructor Huang Hu nodded: "Hmm, go back, I'll guard this place."
...
After walking just a few steps.
Chen Yichuan noticed someone following him.
"Hmm? What is Zhang Fan following me for??" Chen Yichuan narrowed his eyes, somewhat puzzled.
Zhang Fan walked up to him and said softly: "Chen Yichuan, first of all, congratulations on breaking through to Martial Artist. You are following the Extreme Flow Martial Arts, right?"
Huh?
Extreme Flow Martial Arts?
"Extreme Flow Martial Arts, as the name implies, is about improving a single attribute. For example, I... I am following Agility, and if I'm not mistaken — — you must be following Strength."
Seeing Chen Yichuan not speaking, Zhang Fan simply laid it out and got straight to the point.
'So that's what Extreme Flow Martial Arts means. Unfortunately, he's wrong; with my talent, I'm following a Balanced Flow.' Chen Yichuan thought to himself.
Although he thought this, he still nodded.
"That's right, so do you need something? If you're looking for me to get a qing su pill, then I can only say so sorry."
Chen Yichuan spread his hands, indifferent to whatever might happen.
Zhang Fan smiled, but was muttering in his heart... Could this kid Chen Yichuan be a streamer in reality? He has a way with words.
"I heard your conversation with Instructor Huang Hu just now. No matter which school you follow, the most important thing in practicing martial arts is comprehension."
"Without comprehension, you can't even cross the threshold."
"So, Chen Yichuan, can you help me get a purple flower fruit, or a pill refined from the purple flower fruit by Senior Pharmacist Huang?" Speaking of this, Zhang Fan paused, his eyes filled with hope.
No one was more eager than him to get something that could increase comprehension.
To have a treasure mountain but be unable to meet the requirements.
The inner itch was very uncomfortable.
Whoa.
Chen Yichuan finally understood; this kid Zhang Fan had set his sights on the purple flower fruit.
Crossing his arms, he smiled slightly: "Let's not talk about whether I can get it first. What if I do? What can you give me??"
Hearing this.
Zhang Fan seemed to have been prepared for a long time and said confidently: "Others might not be able to get it, but you, Chen Yichuan, can... Just based on your relationship with the village chief and the captain, asking for a pill shouldn't be a problem."
"As for the reward, one Extreme Flow Martial Arts technique."
Hmm!
Chen Yichuan frowned: "Extreme Flow Martial Arts? What do you mean?"
Seeing this, Zhang Fan didn't intend to play riddles either. He looked around and immediately pulled him to a relatively secluded place.
"Being so mysterious? There's no one here." Chen Yichuan frowned, unable to understand why Zhang Fan had to be so sneaky about what he wanted to say.
"Hehe, it's always better to be a bit mysterious. Chen Yichuan, you should know my identity, right?" Zhang Fan said with a sheepish smile.
"Hmm."
Chen Yichuan nodded.
Zhang Fan's identity in the Profound Realm was that of a martial arts family that had been wiped out.
Could this kid be about to share his hidden trump card?
Thinking of this, Chen Yichuan was vaguely expectant.
"I won't beat around the bush. In my memory... the reason my family was wiped out is related to Extreme Flow Martial Arts."
"Practicing ordinary martial arts and raising your realm will grant you all sorts of mixed attributes; I believe you have a deep understanding of this, right?" Zhang Fan looked at him deeply.
Hearing this.
Chen Yichuan nodded.
How to put it, the attribute points gained from raising a martial arts realm were completely random.
Sometimes you'd be just 1 point of Strength short, and it just wouldn't appear.
Could it be?
Chen Yichuan's pupils suddenly contracted: "You mean? Raising a martial arts realm with Extreme Flow Martial Arts can stably grant a single attribute??"
"That's right!!"
Hiss!!
