There are actually only two martial arts left to cultivate.
[Cloud-piercing Arrow Technique]and[Tiger Subduing Fist].
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Fan chose the former.
Firstly, his [Basic Archery] level is very high, and his [Basic Fist Technique] level is relatively low. If he fully upgrades the [Tiger Subduing Fist], it might consume a lot of experience points in vain.
Secondly, archery is currently his main offensive method, so its priority should be above other types of martial arts.
"Then let’s cultivate the Cloud-piercing Arrow Technique."
Chen Fan added a point of experience.
He saw the skill proficiency increase by one-fortieth.
Forty points, still acceptable.
Chen Fan thought.
Qianyuan Skill beginner level, requires 200 points of experience.
After investing a total of forty experience points, Chen Fan felt a strange sensation from his arms, which quickly spread throughout his body.
"It seems to be enhancing my strength attribute."
He looked towards the skill bar.
[Cloud-piercing Arrow Technique: Initial Glimpse (0%), Trait: Powerful Level 1]
[Powerful: Each skill level increases strength attribute by fifty points permanently]
"Fifty points, no wonder it’s called Powerful."
Chen Fan thought.
The weight of a typical cauldron is about four or five hundred kilograms.
Fifty points of strength, which is exactly five hundred kilograms of muscle power.
This made him sigh again at how many attributes Meridian Refining Realm martial arts add.
Just the beginner level attribute enhancements surpass ninety percent of Entry Force martial arts.
If it reaches the Perfection Realm, the 250 points of strength enhancement is a twenty percent increase for an average Meridian Refining Martial Artist.
"Next, I should be able to unlock some powerful traits."
Chen Fan added eighty points of experience.
The muscles in his arms felt again, and a strange sensation surged in his mind.
[Cloud-piercing Arrow Technique: Slight Achievement (0%), Trait: Powerful Level 2, Wind-Chasing Arrow Level 1]
[Wind-Chasing Arrow: Active skill, consumes 1000 points of true qi upon activation, doubling the arrow’s flight speed in a very short time. Each skill level up, flight speed increases by an additional one time.]
"One, one thousand points?"
Chen Fan thought he was mistaken.
He looked at his total true qi amount, only above two hundred, less than three hundred points.
In other words, even if he learned this active skill, he couldn’t use it.
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but show a wry smile.
Each skill level up, flight speed increases additionally by one time, meaning if it reaches Perfection, the arrow’s flight speed under the influence of true qi increases fourfold, totaling five times the previous.
But,
the requirement of one thousand points of true qi is too high.
"Could it be, this is the true qi release requirement?"
A flash of insight appeared in Chen Fan’s mind.
The president said that once a Meridian Refining Martial Artist’s true qi reaches a certain level, it can be released and used offensively and defensively.
Defensively, it can form a shield to block heavy weapons’ attacks.
Offensively, it can hit enemies two or three meters away, or form sword qi and blade aura to sweep an area.
An arrow is also a type of weapon.
And for true qi to act on an arrow, the practitioner’s true qi must be able to leave the body first, otherwise, it cannot work.
Second, the true qi amount must be sufficient. The trait’s description of doubling the arrow’s flight speed in a very short time is likely due to massive true qi consumption.
"Although my true qi is still far from using this move, the headquarters’ herbs will arrive tomorrow. By then, refining a large number of Qi Blood Pills to break through the seven meridians and eight channels should not be difficult to increase true qi to 1000 points."
After thinking about it, Chen Fan decided to continue adding.
So, he added another 160 experience points.
This time, besides physical changes, there was nothing else.
[Cloud-piercing Arrow Technique: Entering the Hall (0%), Trait: Powerful Level 3, Wind-Chasing Arrow Level 2]
"No new traits unlocked."
After a slight pause, Chen Fan added another 320 points of experience.
Again, no new traits were unlocked.
Chen Fan looked at the remaining experience points, 1199 points.
It would definitely be enough to reach the Perfection Realm.
"It should have Perfect Traits."
He took a deep breath and added 640 points of experience.
At this moment, a flash of insight appeared in his mind.
He hurriedly looked,
[Cloud-piercing Arrow Technique: Perfection (Not Upgradable), Traits: Powerful Level 5, Wind-Chasing Arrow Level 3, Cloud-piercing Stone-shattering Level 1]
"It’s here!"
Seeing the four words Cloud-piercing Stone-shattering, Chen Fan held his breath and clicked on it.
[Cloud-piercing Stone-shattering: Active skill, consumes 3000 points of true qi upon activation, increasing arrow power by threefold. Each skill level up, arrow power increases by an additional one time.]
"Threefold arrow power."
Chen Fan took a sharp breath.
Take the bow with ten thousand pounds draw weight in his hand, with just muscle strength, it can pierce through a 150 cm steel plate within a hundred meters.
With true qi, the power would be threefold increased.
Within a hundred meters, it can pierce nearly five meters of the steel plate!
And elite-level fierce beasts’ defenses are only slightly stronger than heavy tanks. Hit by a 150mm howitzer shell would pose a mortal threat to them.
The power of a 150mm howitzer shell can only penetrate a concrete wall more than a meter thick, and the yield strength and ductility of steel are much stronger than concrete, not to mention five times the thickness.
So, if an elite-level fierce beast gets hit by this arrow within a hundred meters, there’s no suspense in being penetrated.
It’s just that the true qi consumption is too high.
Estimated that a late-stage Meridian Refining Martial Artist could only manage to shoot one arrow as the limit.
"True qi amount, the more the better."
