High Martial Arts: Invincible Starts from Basic Archery novel Chapter 98

Chapter 98: Chapter 97: You Want to Go to Song Family Castle Again? (Please Subscribe)

Zhang Ren looked at Chen Fan, who now had a smile on his lips, and sighed inwardly.

Now, the entire stronghold rested on the shoulders of this young man alone. Many old, weak women and children were all relying on him for survival.

Even those in the Hunting Team were not much better off.

If it was a decade ago, no, even three years ago, he would have cursed such a person as a fool in his heart!

Using so many resources not on oneself but sharing them with others, especially in these end times, if not a fool, then what?

But when he was severely injured and became a cripple who could hardly move, recovering strength and having enough to eat became a luxury.

Someone appeared, sharing half of their food with him. Was such a person a fool?

Fortunately, he had now regained some of his strength. Although his ability was discounted due to one leg’s inconvenience, it was enough to deal with martial artists below the Entry Force Realm.

Once he mastered Archery, he could also go hunting to share some burdens.

"Uncle Zhang,"

Chen Fan looked at Zhang Ren, "When I return later, I will tell my father about this matter, and have him remind the people on the watchtower to always keep an eye on the eastern direction. If there’s any situation, they should sound an alarm so we can be prepared.

Additionally, I think we shouldn’t sit idly by and wait for trouble to find us, so I plan to go to the Song Family Castle tomorrow to take a look."

"You’re going to the Song Family Castle?" Zhang Ren was startled, fell silent for a moment, and then said, "Alright, but you must be very careful not to expose your identity, or the consequences would be unimaginable."

"Yes, I will be careful."

Chen Fan nodded.

If the guard team of the Song Family Castle found out about this, it would surely cause some unusual activity, and he could then return early to prepare.

Of course, it would be best if he could find out who was secretly watching him and understand the situation.

If he really couldn’t figure it out, he would spend the money he had; keeping it without spending was just a waste of paper.

The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.

"Ahem."

Chen Fan coughed and asked, "Uncle Zhang, do you remember the archery technique I showed you last time?"

"Are you talking about the Meteor Arrow Technique?"

Zhang Ren recalled, his head full of questions, why suddenly ask this?

"Uncle Liu and the others said that the archery technique was bought by people of the Li Family Stronghold from an old man selling techniques at the Song Family Castle. I also met him this time and bought some."

Zhang Ren’s face immediately became strange.

The archery technique was incomplete. It wasn’t that incomplete techniques couldn’t be practiced, but the probability of going wrong was indeed higher than practicing complete ones.

He reminded him at the time, yet Chen Fan went and bought some more.

He coughed lightly and couldn’t help asking, "What did you buy this time?"

"I bought a dozen books, but I feel most are fake. After dinner, I’ll bring them over for you to check. However, one of them, called Lightweight Water Floating, seems authentic to me."

Chen Fan said.

"Lightweight Water Floating?"

Zhang Ren frowned slightly.

"Uncle Zhang, have you heard of it?"

Zhang Ren nodded, "I once saw someone use this technique. They could run several hundred meters on the water surface in one breath. It was indeed remarkable, but that person’s temperament was odd and unapproachable."

"Really?"

Chen Fan felt a bit disappointed but continued, "I saw it mentioned that it requires the practitioner to have a foundation in Basic Body Technique. Uncle Zhang, what’s the difference between Basic Body Technique and Basic Step Technique?"

This was a question that had puzzled him for a long time.

"Hmm."

Zhang Ren replied, "Compared to other martial arts, Lightweight Skill is one of the hardest to practice and the most difficult to master. But once mastered, it’s highly useful for both dodging in battle and for pursuit.

As for the difference between Basic Body Technique and Basic Step Technique, there really isn’t much. They’re both basic martial arts. Martial artists start with basic steps and gradually engage the whole body, culminating in Body Technique."

"So, Basic Body Technique is an advanced version of Basic Step Technique?"

Chen Fan suddenly realized.

"If you think of it that way, then yes."

Zhang Ren was taken aback for a moment, then said.

"..."

Chen Fan took a deep breath.

This meant that to complete the martial art, he had to start with Basic Step Technique, achieving a certain level to unlock Basic Body Technique, and then elevate Basic Body Technique to a certain level.

The difficulty seemed considerable.

"So, you want to practice Basic Body Technique?"

"Yes."

Chen Fan blurted out.

Among his Strength, Body, and Agility, his agility attribute was the lowest, but this trait was undeniably important, especially for an archer.

If he had been twice as fast when dealing with those bandits, it would have been much easier.

"Alright."

Zhang Ren agreed, "Tomorrow, I will teach you to practice the Meihua Stance. This is the fastest way to train body technique, but it requires some preparation."

"Thank you, Uncle Zhang."

Chen Fan quickly expressed his gratitude with a smile.

"It’s nothing."

Zhang Ren waved his hand, "Not only you, but others should also practice body technique. Times are different now."

In the past, those skilled in body technique could scale walls and run hundreds of meters on water. Now, they could probably cross a river with a reed.

The importance of body technique was self-evident.

"Uncle Zhang, I also want to learn saber techniques."

Chen Fan seized the moment.

[Shadowless Swift Blade] and [Lightweight Water Floating], it was best to complete these martial arts as soon as possible.

As for the [Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill], he didn’t see hope for completion at the moment...

In fact, learning Basic Saber Technique is straightforward. One only needs to swing a blade a few times to unlock it, but rapid progress required sparring with Zhang Ren.

Might as well mention it all at once.

"Alright."

Zhang Ren readily agreed.

If it were anyone else, he would certainly advise them against spreading themselves too thin.

But Chen Fan, he was used to it.
