Chapter 56: Chapter 56: Meteor Arrow Technique (Incomplete)
[Meteor Arrow Technique (Incomplete): Completely Ignorant (0%)]
Seeing this line, Chen Fan’s brain buzzed as if it had been struck by a bell.
What, what is this situation?
He was absolutely sure that this line was not there before. Could it be!
Chen Fan’s mouth opened wide, his eyes showing an expression of disbelief.
That manual that looked like a counterfeit Meteor Arrow Technique, is real!!!
His heart was filled with wild joy.
Yes, it must be like this! Otherwise, how could the system have recorded this archery technique? And the name is the same? No, there is a small difference.
Chen Fan’s gaze fell on the two characters for "incomplete."
That’s right, this archery technique is indeed incomplete, and a lot is missing.
However, his gaze fell on the second half of this small line of text, "Completely Ignorant (0%)". Whether it’s the font or the color, there is no difference between this and the small line of text for [Tai Chi Fist].
That is to say, although this archery technique is incomplete, it can still be practiced, and its skill level can be increased, ultimately unlocking traits?
Chen Fan felt this should be the case.
Of course, because it is incomplete, the traits that get unlocked might be significantly reduced, and the secret techniques mentioned in the archery might not be unlockable either.
He fell into a dilemma.
Should he spend experience points to upgrade this incomplete cultivation technique?
Why does it always feel like something that is tasteless to eat but a pity to discard?
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, he noticed a special detail.
The two characters for "incomplete" after the four characters "Meteor Arrow Technique" were in a different color from its siblings, seemingly clickable?
Shall he click it?
His thoughts moved.
In a flash, three lines of information appeared in his mind.
[Detected incomplete cultivation technique, completion rate 38%, do you want to complete it? Completion requires meeting certain conditions]
[Completion conditions: Body Tempering Second Layer, Basic Archery Level 6, time required: one day]
[Completing the cultivation technique requires consuming a certain amount of time; the higher the condition satisfaction, the less time consumed]
"!!!"
Chen Fan could hardly believe his eyes.
Wow, it’s possible to complete the cultivation technique!
To complete this archery technique, there are two conditions: Body Tempering Second Layer, which he is currently in Body Tempering Third Layer, surpassing it, and Basic Archery Level 6, which he meets.
So, what’s there to hesitate about?
Of course, choose yes.
[Cultivation technique completion in progress, current progress 0%, time required, 12 hours.]
Seeing this information pop up in his mind, Chen Fan felt an urge to dance with joy, he was so ecstatic.
Without a doubt, this [Meteor Arrow Technique] must be an advanced archery technique, for him, it’s like someone giving him a pillow when he’s sleepy.
Although it’s incomplete, even missing its most important parts! But he has the system, which can complete the cultivation technique. Does this mean that he doesn’t have to panic when he encounters incomplete cultivation techniques in the future?
Of course, there are requirements; it seems to be related to the realm and Basic Martial Arts Level.
There may also be other conditions later on.
"No matter what, this is huge good news."
Chen Fan’s lips curled up, in half a day, in half a day he could get a freshly completed advanced archery technique. If he could get more...
Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration hit him, that’s right, didn’t Uncle Liu mention earlier that the old man in Song Family Castle specializes in selling Martial Arts Secret Manuals from martial arts novels?
Originally thinking that guy was an out-and-out scammer, it now seems that he also sells some genuine items, like this archery technique, though heavily cut.
But for him, it doesn’t matter. Even if he gets an incomplete manual, as long as it’s real, it can be recorded and then completed.
"Uncle Liu?"
"Hmm?"
Liu Yong paused in his steps, turned around, and asked Chen Fan, "Xiaofan, what’s up?"
"Yeah."
Chen Fan smiled slightly, "You mentioned earlier, the old man in Song Family Castle, who sells cultivation techniques, what does he trade them for?"
"?"
Liu Yong didn’t immediately catch on.
"I mean, what does he ask for in exchange for them." Chen Fan smiled.
He wasn’t sure if he just needed to see a portion of the content or a certain extent for the cultivation technique to be recorded in the system.
So, he prepared to spend some money first.
Liu Yong grimaced, trying hard to recall: "I remember at first, I think it was a hundred kilograms of rice to buy one manual."
"A hundred kilograms of rice for one manual?"
Chen Fan was shocked.
Are there really fools who would spend so many resources to buy what might be fake Martial Arts Secret Manuals?
Considering this archery manual, even if the old man’s things are real, they might also be heavily cut versions.
"Hahaha."
Liu Yong laughed, "That old man claimed to be the eighty-fourth Sect Leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, genuine and fair, even saying that in Anshan City, even the most basic fist technique would require three to four hundred kilograms of rice, his were pretty cheap."
"And the result?"
"Of course, no one bought it; people aren’t that foolish."
"Later, when we went, it was already ten kilograms of rice per manual."
"That’s such a rip-off!"
Chen Fan smacked his tongue.
From a hundred kilograms per manual to ten kilograms per manual, it’s not just a waist-cut, it’s ankle-cut.
"Yeah, later someone got tempted and bought a manual claiming to teach Entry Force martial arts, and when they got back, an expert said it was fake. That person was so mad, they brought people to smash the stall. I mentioned this earlier; the old man caused a scene, but nothing came of it."
He suddenly thought of something, widened his eyes, and asked Chen Fan, "Xiaofan, you’re not planning to buy it, are you?"
Before he could explain, everyone else looked over.
"Just want to check it out."
Chen Fan explained, "There was some truth in that manual earlier, though not much."
"I see."
Liu Yong scratched his head, "I don’t really understand, but that old man is usually in Song Family Castle’s market, so in a day or two when we go there, you can see him."
"Xiaofan, make sure to be cautious, that old man is hard to deal with."
"Yeah, very sneaky," Gao Yang and others reminded him.
"Yes, I’ll be careful then."
Chen Fan nodded earnestly.
To be honest, ten kilograms of rice for a manual, even if it’s incomplete, isn’t a loss.
It’s just that if he buys a fake, it’ll be like swallowing bitterness with no way to complain, based on the old man’s reputation, he likely has no limits.
Let’s see if he can get it for free then.
Thinking this, he couldn’t help but look forward to the upcoming trip to Song Family Castle.
Plus, with the addition of Gu Ze and others in the village, this trip would be safer.
After about two more hours of walking, it was nearing evening, the setting sun casting its glow. Looking at the village before them, Chen Guodong turned around and reminded everyone, "Once we get back to the village, remember not to mention to anyone that Gu Ze is an Awakener."
Everyone nodded.
At this moment, the entrance to the village was crowded with worried people, murmuring in hushed tones.
However, as the Hunting Team appeared in sight, the murmurs subsided, and everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
But as the distance decreased, everyone’s faces showed the utmost shock.
"Five, five prey!"
