Chapter 0003: Step by Step

The various aspects of physical fitness have also seen a certain improvement after advancing to the third level of martial arts, although it is not as evident as a direct doubling of strength, it still represents a significant leap

Apart from this

That is sixteen times the strength of a first-level martial artist

The strength of someone at the third level of martial entry can unilaterally crush those mountain bandits who are only at the first level of martial entry

Having elevated his strength to the third level of martial arts, Qin Shujian felt that he could be considered a skilled practitioner in this Liangshan stronghold

To upgrade from the first level of the Body Refinement Scripture to the second level, only 1 point of Life Source is required

Step by step, we will grow larger and stronger

This is the hard truth

In this case, if one were to enter the Fivefold Martial Arts, it is likely that one could contend against a hundred opponents! Qin Shujian speculated to himself

Identity: Common Mountain Bandit

Not long after, more bandits appeared in his line of sight

Boundary: Dual Entry into Martial Arts

If it truly is a five-fold span, then even if all the mountain bandits in Liangshan were to be killed, it might not be enough to elevate one to the fifth level of the Body Refinement Scripture

At the very least, those low-level NPCs who have just entered the first stage of martial arts can hardly pose any threat to him

The boundary has directly transformed from the second level of martial entry to the third level of martial entry

The Body Refinement Scripture has three levels, corresponding to the Three Levels of Martial Entry. Therefore, the five levels of the Body Refinement Scripture should correspond to the Five Levels of Martial Entry, with each advancement resulting in a doubling of enhancement.

Qin Shujian was slightly out of breath; having killed three bandits in one go, he had certainly not expended no energy at all

However, after understanding the increase brought about by the promotion to a higher level, Qin Shujian also felt it was only natural

In this way, even if discovered, one may not be able to win but at least can ensure an escape

Moreover

A large head flew up, accompanied by a spray of blood

The life source column has been reset to zero

Upon breaking through to the third level of martial arts, Qin Shujian suddenly had a premonition. At this moment, even if he were to confront those mountain bandits head-on, it would be difficult for fewer than ten of them to pose any real threat to him

Every inch of improvement in the body brings a sense of mastery and understanding

As he watched the fallen bandit disappear, Qin Shujian felt elated, having harvested three points of life essence. Gripping the large knife in his hand, he continued to search for his next target

The village chief is also the most powerful NPC within the stronghold

A stronghold exists, yet there is a leader present.

Although Qin Shujian has never seen the leader of Liangshan Village in person, he knows that the other party is certainly not comparable to these low-level NPCs of the first level of martial arts

In a span of no more than five seconds, three bandits were directly killed.

Source of Life: 5

After briefly familiarizing himself with his physical condition, Qin Shujian once again looked at his attribute panel

Bang

Knowing that there is no so-called cooldown period for enhancing the body refinement technique, only the requirement of life essence, provided Qin Shujian with a sense of psychological comfort

To obtain more sources of life, it is no longer realistic to wait idly for opportunities to come.

These are all assumptions and should not be taken too seriously

Bang! Bang!

To upgrade from the second level of the Body Refinement Scripture to the third level, 5 points of life source are required

Isn't it the source of life

Ah!

There are just a little over two days left until the player's arrival; if we continue to waste time, it may very well lead to a dead end

Four times the strength of an ordinary bandit, the damaged saber felt light in his hand, and the speed of his strikes was unknown to have increased by how much

Very soon

After making up his mind, Qin Shujian decided to take the initiative.

The blade cut in along the shoulder, directly slicing three inches into the area below the throat

The clash of two blades sparked a shower of sparks, and the large knife in the hands of the bandit on Guard Mountain was directly knocked away.

However, this brief confrontation has allowed him to gain a clearer understanding of his own strength once again

A warm current surged around his body, instantly spreading throughout his limbs and bones, causing his vital energy and blood to gently boil.

There are so many bandits in the entire Liangshan region that this issue need not be considered until they are all eliminated

Name: Qin Shujian

Without any hesitation, Qin Shujian directly pointed with his consciousness.

Affiliated Force: Liangshan Stronghold

Just—

Now that I have advanced from the Second Level of Martial Arts to the Third Level, my strength has doubled

Cultivation Technique: Body Refinement Scripture, Second Level (+) (Total of Five Levels) (Common Grade, Low Quality)

But immediately, a fierce light appeared in the eyes of the two bandits; even though their intelligence was not high, they could clearly understand the situation before them

A brief scream, and the patrolling bandit fell to the ground and died immediately

After the life source reaches 5 points, there is finally an additional plus sign behind the second level of body forging.

It is essential to enhance one's strength as much as possible before the discovery by the chief of Liangshan

To know

Previously, picking off solitary NPCs one by one was simply too slow.

Otherwise, the difficulty of this game would be rather too simple

After all, he is currently only at the third level of martial arts and does not need to consider matters related to the fifth level of martial arts yet

The spacing of flesh and blood seems to have tightened at this moment, and the skin, which originally appeared somewhat pale, seems to have gained a bit more resilience.

When he advanced from the first level of martial arts to the second level, his strength had already doubled

At that moment, another bandit from the mountain swung his saber, and Qin Shujian immediately drew his sword to confront him head-on

Equipment: a damaged broadsword, a worn-out jacket, tattered trousers, and old straw sandals

One must be grounded and practical in life

Two of them are patrolling bandits, while one is a sentry bandit

Buzz

Qin Shujian seemed to have become thoroughly familiar with everything regarding the third level of the Body Refinement Sutra, as if he had been practicing it for many years

The span among these is a full fivefold difference

As he approached quickly, Qin Shujian showed no hesitation, wielding his large knife that carried a fierce gust of wind, and struck directly at the neck of one of the patrolling mountain bandits

Just as they were about to take action, Qin Shujian had already taken the initiative.

Qin Shujian did not hesitate in the slightest and directly raised his knife to attack, no, it should be to attack the NPC.

He took a swift step forward, wielding his large knife in a reverse grip, and with an extremely fast stroke, he struck directly at the shoulder of another patrolling bandit.

After careful calculation, Qin Shujian suddenly felt a sharp pain in his teeth

In this way, the initial strength has now increased by more than four times.

5 points of life source were directly reset to zero

The sudden turn of events caught both the patrolling bandit and the sentry bandit off guard

The strength has been increased by one fold on the original basis, which is no small enhancement

Qin Shujian had not walked for long when he encountered three mountain bandits

Subsequently, Qin Shujian struck again with his sword, directly killing the mountain bandit on guard.

The strength has been increased by approximately one additional time on the original basis

The patrolling bandit did not even have time to react before being struck directly in the neck with a single blow

Thus

Moreover, if too many bandits were to die, it would be difficult to ensure that it would not attract the attention of the chieftain of Liangshan.

The enhancement of strength is not as simple as one plus one equals two

The inscription of the second level of the Body Refinement Scripture directly transformed into the third level in his mind
