Chapter 010 Becoming a Martial Artist
Seeing the rows of "Proficiency +1" appear, Zhou Yunshen smiled.
After many hardships, he finally embarked on the path of cultivating immortality—no, the path of spiritual practice.
In this game world, both Da Shan and Captain Chen say that becoming a martial artist is very difficult.
But he is a player, and after his cultivation aptitude has been increased by five points, it can't get much lower.
It shouldn't be too difficult for him to become a martial artist, right?
Although Zhou Yun Shen was very confident about becoming a martial artist, he was still somewhat apprehensive.
What if?
It would be ridiculous if he couldn't become a martial artist.
I hope this doesn't happen.
On the phone screen, Captain Chen was practicing the "Spirit Ape Body Forging Technique," while Zhou Yunshen's character, Zhou Erzhu, was learning it meticulously.
A series of "Proficiency +1" messages then appeared.
In this situation, Zhou Yunshen, holding his phone, seemed somewhat superfluous.
Zhou Yunshen put down his phone and went to boil water to prepare instant noodles.
But when he came back, he found the screen was clean, and the lines of "Proficiency +1" no longer appeared.
"What's going on?" Zhou Yunshen frowned.
He picked up his phone again, and the screen displayed "Proficiency +1".
But when he put down his phone, the proficiency indicator on the screen disappeared.
Upon witnessing this scene, Zhou Yunshen had a sudden realization.
It seems that he needs to accompany the character throughout the training process.
You can't put your phone down; if you do, your cultivation will stop.
"Alright, then I'll keep you company while you cultivate." Zhou Yunshen had no choice but to hold his phone in one hand and tear open the instant noodle packaging with the other...
Time passed second by second.
Zhou Yunshen leaned against the pillow, holding his phone in his hand, staring at the screen, his thoughts gradually drifting away.
An hour later, Captain Chen's voice came through the phone: "Alright, that's enough for today. Come back early tomorrow morning."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yunshen quickly gathered his scattered thoughts and said, "Okay, Captain Chen."
After Captain Chen left, Zhou Yunshen quickly opened his character attribute panel:
Name: Zhou Erzhu.
Age: 20 years old.
Cultivation aptitude: Unassessed.
Cultivation level: None.
Status: Initial recovery from a serious illness, moderate hunger.
Zhou Yunshen looked at his character attribute panel, a hint of disappointment on his face.
His cultivation level hasn't changed; it's still "Nothingness." However, his status has changed to "Moderate Hunger," indicating that practicing this skill still consumes a lot of energy.
Fortunately, a cultivation icon has appeared next to his character icon.
After clicking on it, you can see an icon for practicing the "Spirit Ape Body Forging Technique". Looking at this icon, Zhou Yun Shen felt much more at ease.
This means that his eight taels of silver weren't wasted after all.
Zhou Yunshen controlled his character and returned home.
At this moment, Zhou Xiaoya was standing in front of the house, eagerly waiting. When she saw Zhou Erzhu return, a smile appeared on Zhou Xiaoya's face, and she said, "Second brother, you're back. Breakfast is ready. I'll go get it for you."
After saying that, Zhou Xiaoya limped towards the kitchen.
Zhou Yunshen controlled his character to follow and asked, "Little girl, how much grain do we have left?"
Zhou Xiaoya replied, "Not much. The food we have at home should last until a month from now."
Zhou Yunshen said, "Go and cook some more, cook more. I'm practicing martial arts now, so I need to eat more. You should eat more too."
Zhou Xiaoya stopped and turned around, her face full of surprise: "Second Brother, you...you went to practice martial arts?"
Zhou Yunshen said, "Yes, I went to practice martial arts. I learned from Captain Chen. I used all the money my family had saved up for tuition."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiaoya immediately became anxious and said, "Second Brother, this is the money our family has painstakingly saved up. You've used it all to practice martial arts. How are you going to find a wife?"
Seeing Zhou Xiaoya so excited, Zhou Yunshen quickly explained, "Don't worry, once I become a martial artist, I can marry any kind of wife. Also, with our family's current conditions, your leg injury will never heal. Only when I become a martial artist will I have the ability to heal your leg injury."
Zhou Xiaoya looked down at her lame leg, her expression somewhat somber, and said, "But I've heard that becoming a martial artist is very difficult..."
Zhou Yunshen said firmly, "You must believe in your second brother. He will definitely become a martial artist!"
Zhou Xiaoya looked up at Zhou Erzhu without saying a word.
Zhou Yunshen continued, "Go, cook more food. It's very difficult to become a martial artist if you practice on an empty stomach."
"Okay." Zhou Xiaoya finally nodded, then turned around and limped towards the kitchen.
After eating a bowl of porridge, Zhou Yunshen's state changed from moderate hunger to mild hunger.
Near the wooden house, there was an open space of about 100 square meters. Zhou Yunshen controlled his character to come to this open space and continue practicing the "Spirit Ape Body Forging Technique".
One by one, the "Proficiency +1" notifications floated out again.
Zhou Xiaoya watched from afar.
About half an hour later, Zhou Xiaoya came over, carrying a steaming bowl of porridge, limping along.
After Zhou Yunshen ate the bowl of porridge, the slight hunger in his status bar disappeared.
Zhou Yunshen continued to practice the "Spirit Ape Body Forging Technique" with his character.
Whether it was an illusion or not, after eating his fill, Zhou Yunshen felt that the frequency of his proficiency boost seemed to have increased somewhat compared to before.
Another half hour passed, and suddenly Zhou Erzhu's skin turned red on the phone screen.
The red color gradually faded away after about ten seconds.
At this moment, Zhou Erzhu's movements as he practiced his boxing became noticeably lighter and more agile.
Zhou Yunshen realized something and quickly opened the character's attribute panel to take a closer look.
Name: Zhou Erzhu.
Age: 20 years old.
Cultivation aptitude: Unassessed.
Cultivation level: Early stage of acquired realm (forging skin and flesh).
The cultivation technique practiced is: "Spirit Ape Body Tempering Technique" (Introduction).
Status: No negative or positive effects.
Zhou Yunshen looked at the character attribute panel and a smile slowly appeared on his face.
Warrior realm!
He transformed from an ordinary person into a martial artist in just two hours!
It seems his aptitude for cultivation is quite good.
Moreover, his status has changed; the "recovering from a serious illness" status has disappeared.
"Keep cultivating! I want to see how long it will take me to reach the Perfected Stage of the Acquired Realm!"
According to what he had learned, even the strongest person in the village—Captain Chen—had not yet reached the perfect level of the Acquired Realm.
With Captain Chen's abilities, he is already capable of leading a team to Xiyun County.
Once he reaches the perfected stage of the Acquired Realm, as long as he doesn't get lost, it shouldn't be difficult for him to leave the mountain village and head to Xiyun County.
Zhou Yunshen still desires to cultivate immortality deep down. His current martial arts training is also to pave the way for his future path of cultivation.
Time passed second by second.
When it was afternoon in the game world, Zhou Erzhu's strength had broken through again.
His "Spiritual Ape Body Forging Technique" has progressed from the beginner level to the minor master level.
His cultivation level changed from the early stage of the Acquired Realm (forging skin and flesh) to the middle stage of the Acquired Realm (forging tendons and bones).
