Doomsday: Gain experience by hunting

At night, after finishing his training, a weary Tang Wen lay on his bed, checking his stats:

[Name: Tang Wen]

[Age: 14 years, 11 months]

[Body: 2.10→2.11]

[Spirit: 2.06→2.07]

[Skills: Farming, Mastery (719/1000)]

[Flying Stone, Proficient (2891/3000)]

[Wind-Breaking Saber, Mastery (913/1000)]

[Flying Knife Technique, Proficient (966/3000)]

[Eight Vajra Arts, Mastery (2579/3000)]

[Nourishing Life Stance, Beginner (109/500)]

After these days of training, his physique and spirit increased by 0.01 again.

These two attributes are the foundation of all skills.

Even an increase of just 0.01 is a cause for joy.

In the morning, Tang Wen first practiced the Eight Vajra Arts three times, then held the Nourishing Life Stance for a quarter of an hour.

He found that combining movement and stillness in his training yielded better results.

Experience increased faster!

In the morning, he practiced the saber, first teaching Tang Tang the saber techniques.

The fastest way to master a skill is to learn and teach others simultaneously.

The same goes for saber practice; it's difficult to correct your movements when there are no mirrors around.

But watching others practice and correcting their details naturally provides confirmation in your mind.

While teaching, Tang Wen's saber experience would occasionally increase by one or two points.

At noon, Vajra Arts and Nourishing Life Stance.

In the afternoon, after Tang Tang finished her chores, the two continued to practice the saber.

In the evening, Vajra Arts and Nourishing Life Stance.

Day after day, it was the same routine.

This time, encountering the silver wolf, there were two moments when Tang Wen really thought he would die!

Now, he felt a great urgency in his heart, a desire for power, a desire to become stronger.

Chi!

After completing a set of saber techniques,

The long saber shattered the wooden training post.

In the depths of winter, goose feather snow fell from the sky.

Yet, Tang Wen wore only a single layer of clothing, his face flushed an unnatural red, and steam rose half a foot from his head.

Not bothering to change clothes, he quickly checked his panel:

[Wind-Breaking Saber, Mastery (1000/1000)]

Still no breakthrough?

Since yesterday, no, since the day before yesterday, the experience points had been stuck here. He had barely slept these past two days, practicing diligently day and night.

With the experience panel, this was the first time his skill had encountered a bottleneck.

His greatest reliance had run into problems, and he felt unsure and even more irritable.

Practice again!

I refuse to believe it!

His eyes bloodshot, he kicked away the training wood with a bang, picked up his saber, and practiced again.

"Little brother, rest for a while, rest! Look at the state you're in!"

"Huh?"

His sister's voice sounded strange. Tang Wen stopped and looked back, seeing her eyes red, as if she had just cried.

"What's wrong?" Before he could finish speaking, he felt his temples throbbing.

As if the blood vessels there were about to burst.

A pair of small hands grabbed his arm, pulling him into the house, to the wooden basin used for washing his face.

The basin contained prepared warm water, reflecting a clear image: "Is that me?"

The person in the water had bloodshot eyes, a tightly furrowed brow, as if the whole world owed him 1.08 million!

"Hah! Sis, I was too impatient. I'll wash my face and go to sleep."

"Mmm, mmm," Tang Tang said with a sob in her voice, "No, eat first, then go to sleep after dinner."

"Okay, fine." Only then did Tang Wen realize that he had been hungry for a long time.

After eating his fill, he fell into a deep sleep.

He slept until the afternoon of the next day.

After waking up, he didn't get up, but instead, for the first time in a long while, lay lazily in bed.

Hmm, if only I had a phone right now, I could play a few rounds of games before getting up.

My flying stone and flying knife skills are so fast, I'd definitely make those guys call me daddy…

But, now that I think about it, how come the Flying Stone and Flying Knife skills didn't have any thresholds to cross from Mastery to Proficient?

I didn't even have to practice them deliberately; I just used them for hunting every day, and they naturally broke through.

Could it be that practice makes perfect? Is my saber technique still not proficient enough?

Or is it because of my state of mind?

Tang Wen put on his clothes and got out of bed.

"Swish, swish, swish."

The snow had stopped, and outside the door, his older sister was sweeping snow in the yard.

Tang Wen picked up his saber and examined it carefully.

He hadn't noticed before, but there were many small nicks on the thin blade.

He took out the whetstone, sat on a small stool, and carefully sharpened the blade, stroke after stroke.

With the help of water and the whetstone, the blade became sharp again.

Tang Wen stood up, stretched his muscles, and then slowly began to move.

Facing forward, he fiercely chopped with the Wind-Breaking Saber, dropping his hand to sweep horizontally at the waist.

Following the momentum, he swept like autumn leaves, a sweeping army that enemies could not escape.

The set of saber techniques was smooth, fluid, and incomparably seamless.

After finishing, it felt like drinking a cup of warm flower tea when thirsty.

[Wind-Breaking Saber, Proficient (1/3000)]

He had broken through.

Looking at the saber in his hand again, it seemed to have warmth in the cold weather.

Swish, swish, swish.

Several consecutive slashes cut the wooden post standing on the ground into several sections. The wood swayed from side to side but did not fall.

The speed of his strikes and his control over his strength were far beyond what they had been before.

Tang Tang's saber technique was already skilled, and he didn't need to worry too much about her.

After that, Tang Wen spent most of his time on the Eight Vajra Arts and the Nourishing Life Stance, in addition to practicing his saber every day to consolidate his skills.

The beginner-level Nourishing Life Stance was easy to improve.

It had already progressed to [Nourishing Life Stance, Beginner (438/500)]

First, he would conquer the stance work, and then he would inquire about when the city would be recruiting guards.

Tang Wen set a goal for himself, covered his head with the blanket, and prepared to sleep.

Suddenly, he lifted the blanket again and turned to look at his sister's small face: "Sis, I'll teach you the stance work tomorrow."

"Eh? Okay, okay." Tang Tang was a little stunned.

As for whether Old Li would mind, Tang Wen didn't think it was a big problem. He had already prepared a yellow goat for the family; at worst, he would send another one later.

After a few seconds of silence, Tang Tang said, "Little brother, you're not so little anymore; shouldn't you be getting married?"

Not so little anymore?

Tang Wen said amusingly, "I'm not even fifteen yet."

"You'll be fifteen soon, getting married is just right. Everyone gets married at fourteen or fifteen…"

Tang Wen: "…"

Who can understand? In his previous life, he was a leftover man at twenty-eight, constantly being urged to marry.

Coming to this world, he was younger, no longer a leftover man, but he was still being urged to marry before he was even fifteen.

Tang Tang smiled, pulled up the blanket, and went to sleep.

Stance work.

Tang Wen narrowed his eyes slightly, "Exhale~~~," "Inhale~~~"

His body followed the rhythm of his breathing, sometimes relaxed, sometimes tense.

Having crossed the threshold of saber technique, his mindset became more peaceful.

Once he sensed that he wanted to rush things and his heart began to become irritable, he would immediately stop whatever he was practicing.

He would either take a stroll around the blacksmith shop or help his sister cook and tidy up the house.

A balance of tension and relaxation, the way of both civilian and military.

This not only did not delay his training progress, but also made him more focused and efficient every time he trained.

[Nourishing Life Stance, Beginner → Mastery (0/1000)]

The stance work had broken through.

Standing in the yard, Tang Wen's eyes sparkled!

"Exhale~~~~"

He exhaled a mouthful of white air, the airflow condensed and did not dissipate, and was more than a foot long.

Raising his saber to chop, he clearly felt many small, tiny muscles in his body exerting force.

This was the effect of stance work reaching a certain level. Stance work itself pursued introspection, seeking to understand one's body better, and then control it.

[Body: 2.11→2.41]

[Spirit: 2.07→2.57]

Not as good as the Eight Vajra Arts; this breakthrough only increased his physique by 0.3, while his spirit increased by 0.5.

Tang Wen was slightly disappointed.

Turning his head to look at his sister, who was still preparing to cook spareribs, he stopped her, saying, "That's enough, Sis, I'm not that hungry this time!"

"Huh? Okay!"

The little sister blinked her eyes and decisively put away the pot of deer ribs she was about to put into the pot, a relieved expression on her face, as if this hundred or so pounds of foxtail millet had finally been saved.
