My Cultivation Starting from Archery

"Master."

Si Qin was lighting lamps in the study, attending to sundry matters.

Chen Sansi laid out all his gains on the ground.

Mystic Iron Armor.

Its utility in future battles need not be elaborated upon.

Five Tigers Soul-breaking Spear.

Chen Sansi examined it carefully; though it wasn't as high-quality as the Zhenyue Sword, it was definitely a top-notch weapon that conducted force excellently. He figured he wouldn't have to worry about finding a better weapon before reaching the Profound Image Realm unless he stumbled upon something superior.

As for the Iron Core Bow, it was also good, but it lacked a string.

That would have to wait for another day.

He still hoped to apply his strength in archery, inflicting lethal damage on High Realm Martial Artists; otherwise, his impeccable archery would be a waste.

The Hua Jing Technique his master had given him, named "National Guardian Dragon Spear," was an exquisite spear technique the old man had personally refined, notable for producing a powerful yet sustained force when practiced.

But that was something for later.

The pressing matter was to enter seclusion and break through to Refining Internal Organs Perfection; otherwise, he would really fall far behind the other Inner Sect Disciples.

"Seclusion!"

The next day, after reporting in, Chen Sansi took a long leave with Ji's approval. He left all training responsibilities in the hands of Xu Wencai and Wang Zhi and entered a state of seclusion.

In the blink of an eye, nearly a month had passed.

With the support of treasure medicine and Spiritual Grain, his proficiency kept climbing, and he practiced the Unity Spear Technique to its limits.

Blood Explosion!

As the name implies, it was a berserk state.

In this state, Martial Artists could squeeze Qi-Blood from their internal organs, sending their bodies into an overloaded state for a short time, even largely ignoring injuries to maximize their overall strength.

Those who could maintain this berserk state longer naturally held more strength in actual combat.

However, due to the immense energy consumption, most Martial Artists could maintain it for about ten rounds, the more talented for roughly thirty, geniuses for about forty, and Cao Fan for around fifty rounds.

Therefore, the Blood Explosion State was primarily reserved for life-or-death situations.

Chen Sansi danced wildly with the Five Tigers Soul-breaking Spear in hand, feeling the blood of the dragon and elephant within him surge to its peak until suddenly, everything came to a stop.

The blood in his body abruptly ceased flowing, becoming as still as dead water without a struggle!

An indescribable agony swept over him.

This was...

The feeling of death!

Everything went pitch black before Chen Sansi's eyes. He felt light as a feather, nearly losing consciousness. But armed with muscle memory, he continued to practice the Unity Spear Technique until the moment before he fell into a deep sleep, when his blood was reactivated and started to flow backward, slowly at first. After a cycle of silence, it burst forth with even more vigorous vitality!

If his previous Blood Movement State was like the rapid Hongze River water, then now, it was like a cataclysmic tidal wave, a destructive force coursing through his entire body. When executed through the spear technique, the enhancement to his combat power was more than just a level!

[Cultivation Technique: Unity Spear Technique (Great Success)]

[Progress: None]

[Utility: ..., Mysterious Phenomenon Five Organs]

[Mysterious Phenomenon Five Organs: Qilin Heart, Divine Beast Four Organs, united as one, endless and ever-flowing.]

Endless and ever-flowing!

The consumption from a Blood Explosion was extremely terrifying.

But at this moment, Chen Sansi could distinctly feel that as his Qi-Blood was rapidly depleted, his internal organs were constantly supplying recovery, significantly extending the duration of the Blood Explosion State.

As for how long he could maintain it.

No matter how much he practiced, he did not feel any signs of Qi-Blood exhaustion.

A hundred rounds, two hundred rounds, or even longer?

That could only be determined in actual combat.

But at the very least, it was three to four times that of a genius like Cao Fan!

Back at the arena, Chen Sansi had won by draining the enemy's Qi-Blood.

If his opponent had possessed the same robust amount of Qi-Blood as himself, they would have likely been invincible.
Stay connected via empire

This indicated the importance of endurance.

"At last, Refining Internal Organs Perfection!"

Chen Sansi didn't pause for a moment, spending two more days learning the Pile Work of the National Guardian Dragon Spear, working his way through the levels.

[Cultivation Technique: National Guardian Dragon Spear, Hua Jin (Entry-level)]

[Progress: 5/100]

[Utility: None at present]

The next target, Hua Jin.

Only after reaching the Hua Jin realm did one qualify as having the strength of a Thousand Captain of an elite troop.

Only...

After two days of practice, he clearly felt that his progression's speed had significantly slowed; if things continued this way, he wouldn't achieve Hua Jin in less than two months.

Too slow!

After all, his master had set a goal for him to break through to Martial Saint in three years, but at this rate, it might take at least seven or eight years to even approach the threshold.

Breaking through to Martial Saint Realm within ten years of practice would seem ludicrously exaggerated to anyone.

But Chen Sansi was still not satisfied.

In a world rife with danger, he couldn't sleep without enough strength at his side.

Ever since the Seeking Immortal Tower sent someone over, Chen Sansi had to sleep with one ear open. Even the passage of a mouse could wake him, although no one came to offend him again.

"It seems I need to advance the experiment with the Mystical Weapon Furnace," he mused.

"My home won't do; I need to find a spot in the mountains."

"But lately, there's been a new trouble..."

Chen Sansi spent most of his time practicing Martial Arts, but as soon as he stepped outside, he was followed, preventing him from moving freely.

Fortunately, he had an idea in mind.

Once he figured out how to solve this issue, he laid down his long spear and went to the dining room.

Though Gu Xinlan was only a little over a month pregnant and her belly wasn't showing much, she often felt very tired and suffered from frequent morning sickness. These symptoms could not be treated; she just had to endure.
