High Martial Arts: Invincible Starts from Basic Archery novel Chapter 114

Chapter 114: Chapter 113 Meteor Arrow Technique, Tai Chi Fist, Perfection! (Please Subscribe)

[Meteor Arrow Technique: Entering the Hall (0%), Traits: Aiming Level 3, Extraordinary Strength Level 2]

Chen Fan had a vague suspicion in his mind, which was whether the higher the level of the Basic Archery, the less experience points would be required to upgrade the Advanced Arrow Techniques?

He recalled that the last time he upgraded the Meteor Arrow Technique from Small Success to Entering the Hall, it took 50 experience points.

If he were to upgrade it again then, the experience points needed would surely start at 100.

At that time, the Basic Archery was only Level 6, but now it is Level 11.

Chen Fan took a deep breath, filled with anticipation, and added a point.

Just then, the skill level of Meteor Arrow Technique increased swiftly by nearly 4%!

Chen Fan’s eyes widened instantly, showing a look of ecstasy.

In other words, it would only require about 25 experience points to upgrade the Meteor Arrow Technique to the next realm?

He could hardly believe it.

One must know that this was upgrading from the third realm to the fourth realm! The experience points needed were actually fewer than before?

Having reached this point, the conclusion was obvious.

The higher the Basic Martial Arts Level, the fewer experience points required to upgrade the Advanced Martial Arts.

If it’s true for archery, then it might be true for fist techniques, spear techniques, saber techniques, body techniques, etc.!

Chen Fan clenched his fist.

This couldn’t be better.

Firstly, it seems there’s no upper limit for Basic Martial Arts, and the skill level increases quickly.

Secondly, it could save a lot of experience points for upgrading other martial arts.

"It looks like I can still upgrade the Basic Archery by one level tonight, and then max out the Meteor Arrow Technique."

Chen Fan muttered to himself.

Of course, he could push the Basic Archery as high as possible. Then, upgrading the Meteor Arrow Technique might require less than double digits in experience points.

However, this would be too extreme.

He vaguely had another suspicion.

That if the Basic Martial Arts were too high, would using Advanced Martial Arts cease to increase the Basic Martial Arts skill level?

With this question lingering in his mind, he continued practicing the Basic Archery.

The time spent this time lasted over an hour.

Accompanied by a weak warm flow rising, Chen Fan looked at the skill bar.

[Basic Archery: Level 12 (0%), Traits: Strengthening the Body Level 12, Superhuman Arm Strength Level 12, Slow Fire Level 12, Mounted Archery Level 10, Rapid Fire Level 7, Simultaneous Fire Level 4]

"No new traits unlocked?"

Chen Fan was not assured and checked again, indeed finding none.

Estimatedly, the difficulty of unlocking new traits escalates as the level advances.

"Let’s try the Meteor Arrow Technique again."

He slightly curved his lips and added a point of experience points to the Meteor Arrow Technique.

The skill level initially at 3.6% swiftly soared to 8.6%, a 5% increase. In other words, now he only needed twenty experience points to upgrade this arrow technique to the realm of Great Success.

"Should I practice a bit more?" Chen Fan hesitated for a second, then nodded: "Let’s practice a bit more."

Saving even a bit counts.

Next, he fired three arrows simultaneously, but the increase in skill level was less than 1%.

Fortunately, having experienced previous step technique practice, Chen Fan did not feel despair but rather had a hint of secret delight.

Would it take only over a hundred shots to level up? That’s way too easy.

Nearing two hours, almost midnight, the long-awaited warm flow rose again.

"Huff..."

Chen Fan exhaled deeply, shaking his arms; his arms were sore, but finally, it was over.

[Basic Archery: Level 13 (0%), Traits: Strengthening the Body Level 13, Superhuman Arm Strength Level 13, Slow Fire Level 13, Mounted Archery Level 11, Rapid Fire Level 8, Simultaneous Fire Level 5]

The Level 5 Simultaneous Fire trait meant he could fire six arrows at once.

Whether dealing with a powerful single enemy or multiple enemies, it was a significant boost.

However, this was under the condition that his power was adequate to draw the bow.

Chen Fan looked at the Meteor Arrow Technique.

It was time to max out this advanced arrow technique.

Once again, he added a point of experience points, and the skill level jumped abruptly by 8%, reaching 16.6%.

Chen Fan gasped suddenly; at this rate, adding eleven or twelve experience points would max it out.

Without further hesitation, he directly added eleven experience points.

Instantly, the soreness in his arms receded like the tide, and he felt revived.

Moreover, a strange feeling surged up in his heart.

This feeling was too familiar; it was a new trait.

"Could it be?"

Chen Fan hurriedly looked at it,

[Meteor Arrow Technique: Great Success (1.1%), Traits: Aiming Level 4, Extraordinary Strength Level 3, Continuous Meteor Arrow Level 1]

[Sealing and Closing: Active Skill, can be activated while unarmed, consuming spiritual power. Activation increases blocking success rate by 50%, with each level up adding an extra 50%]

"Blocking Skill?"

Chen Fan frowned slightly.

Although the success rate was high, at Level 1 it was already 50%, and 100% at Level 2.

However, it had a prerequisite—to be bare-handed, unable to activate while wielding weapons.

It seems a bit redundant, I can’t be bare-handed to block incoming arrows or bullets, right? Facing hidden weapons or conversing with blade-wielding martial artists might still be feasible.

"No, it seems I am underestimating this trait a bit."

Chen Fan had a sudden realization.

The Tai Chi Fist passed down today, being Inner Boxing, leans towards defense; unlocking such non-offensive traits is within expectations.

If this trait was matched with External Boxing?

Such as Level 8 Fist.

Wouldn’t it then be both offensive and defensive?

Chen Fan’s eyes lit up. The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed, as it resembled a state, only consuming spiritual power.

"Seeing it like this, this trait seems pretty good after all."

He smiled, glancing at the remaining 522 experience points.

To achieve perfection in Tai Chi Fist, at least 400 points were needed, leaving 122 points.

Looking at the lightweight skill Water Floating being unlocked, still requiring two days, he decided to proceed.

After consuming another 400 experience points, similar sensations resurfaced across his body, although slightly fainter.

Additionally, a strange feeling surged again.

Chen Fan’s mouth slightly parted; did he unlock another trait at the perfection realm?

His heart raced with nervousness, looking at the skill bar.

[Zhang Family Tai Chi Fist: Perfection (No further upgrade), Traits: Life Extension Level 5, Powerful Level 5, Light Spirit Level 5, Blood Circulation Level 4, Sealing and Closing Level 2, Overcome Hardness with Softness Level 1]

[Overcome Hardness with Softness: Active Skill, When your power is not lower than the opponent’s and bare-handed, you can consume spiritual power to activate. Activation state allows you to use only half your strength to match the opponent’s full strength, reducing strength usage by 10% with each level up]

Another active skill!

Chen Fan studied the trait description, deeply inhaling.

Uncle Zhang had mentioned that Tai Chi Fist’s highest realm could leverage strength, moving thousands of pounds with minimal effort.

Overcome Hardness with Softness was precisely the essence of this fist technique!

The lifelong pursuit goal of countless Tai Chi Fist practitioners!
