Chapter 2: Learning Archery

~7 min read 1,350 words

"Crack!"

It was unclear whether Chu Feng had used too much force or if the bow had been defective to begin with.

Just as he prepared to draw the bow and nock an arrow again, the bow actually snapped.

"Damn it, what kind of quality is this broken bow?"

Chu Feng, who was preparing to go all out, never expected to encounter such a situation.

The longbow in his hand was so unreliable; it broke after only a few draws.

Just as Chu Feng was preparing to hurry off and find another longbow.

A brand-new longbow was suddenly thrust in front of him.

"Take it, and shoot the hell out of them for me!"

"You got it!"

Chu Feng did not stand on ceremony with Xu Hu.

"Whoosh!"

The arrow shot out this time was significantly stronger than before in terms of force, speed, and even accuracy.

Previously, the arrows Chu Feng shot only aimed at the enemies' torsos.

Sometimes, they wouldn't even necessarily kill them.

But the arrow shot this time was different; he aimed directly at the enemy's throat.

A clean, one-shot kill.

"Thud!"

The arrow hit an enemy soldier right on cue.

That person fell to the ground without even knowing what had happened.

And a long arrow was stuck in their neck.

"Damn!"

Xu Hu, who was watching the battle from the side, couldn't help but curse.

This kid's archery was too divine!

He actually hit an enemy soldier's throat with a single arrow.

He had just estimated that the enemy soldier was at least fifty paces away from them.

At a distance of fifty paces, a conscripted laborer hitting a throat with one arrow, this skill...

Xu Hu did not continue to think further.

In any case, he had struck gold today.

He had found such an outstanding sharpshooter.

Looking at Chu Feng.

He did not know what was going through Xu Hu's mind.

At this moment, he only had eyes for the enemy.

Killing one enemy would earn him one Killing Point.

Ten points could upgrade Primary Archery to Advanced Archery.

As for higher levels, he was not sure.

Regardless, it would certainly increase, so it was better to take this opportunity to hunt and kill more enemies.

If for no other reason, then just to survive in this strange world.

"The enemy is charging up, get the rolling logs and stones ready!"

The swarming Xiongnu army, after a round of charging, had already reached the foot of the city wall.

They set up scaling ladders and began to climb the city wall.

"You Xiongnu bastards, Grandpa will let you taste this!"

The Great Wei soldiers on the city wall immediately picked up the prepared rolling logs and stones.

Then they threw them down fiercely.

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

Horrifying screams rang out one after another.

Countless Xiongnu soldiers who had reached the base of the wall were smashed into pulp by the rolling logs and stones thrown by the Great Wei soldiers.

In an instant.

Foul-smelling brains and blood quickly spread all around.

Despite this.

Countless Xiongnu soldiers still climbed up, fearing no death.

And waiting for them were the long spears and sabers of the Great Wei soldiers.

"Kid, stay back later!"

Xu Hu, who was busy fighting nearby, did not forget to urge him, "Your archery is good, but don't get involved in the sword fighting."

Having finally found a good seedling with the potential of a sharpshooter, Xu Hu did not want anything to go wrong with him.

"It's fine, Squad Leader, I'll help you!"

At this moment, a steady stream of Xiongnu soldiers had already climbed onto the city wall.

Bows and arrows had basically lost their utility at this point.

In close-quarters combat, only a blade can exert the greatest effect.

Chu Feng hurriedly picked up a long blade from beside a corpse not far away.

Since the system could gift him Primary Archery, he figured it should also be able to gift him a Primary Blade Technique!

Right now, his Killing Points had increased by another ten points.

That should be enough to at least raise his blade technique to around the Minor Accomplishment stage!

Just as he assumed the system would gift him a blade technique, an accident occurred.

"Huh? What's the situation?"

Holding the long blade, Chu Feng felt no intention from the system to gift him a blade technique at all.

He immediately opened his panel.

【Name: Chu Feng】

【Race: Human】

【Talent: Advanced Archer】

【Killing Points: 10】

"What the hell?"

On the system panel, there was still only the lonely talent of Advanced Archer.

As for blade technique, he didn't even see a shadow of it.

Just as Chu Feng was astonished, a Xiongnu soldier noticed him.

Without a word, the soldier charged straight at Chu Feng to kill him.

"Damn it!"

Chu Feng was greatly startled and hurriedly held up his blade to block.

"Clang!"

"Argh!"

The opponent's strike shook him so hard his web between thumb and forefinger ached, and it even started to tear.

Chu Feng had never expected the opponent's strength to be this great.

Even in such a critical situation, he still did not awaken any skills related to blade techniques.

"Damn!"

Chu Feng couldn't care about that much anymore; he held his blade and fought the opponent.

But his blade technique was truly too rotten, with no style or method to speak of.

After only two moves, he fell into a disadvantage.

"Haha, trash, you don't even know how to play with a blade!"

The Xiongnu soldier sneered.

He never thought he would encounter such a weakling who knew nothing.

He easily broke Chu Feng's move with one strike, and Chu Feng was instantly left wide open, his entire body exposed directly beneath the opponent's cold blade.

"Oh no!"

Chu Feng cried out in alarm.

Exposing such a large opening, he was surely going to die today.

"Inferior Wei person, go to hell!"

The Xiongnu soldier said a bunch of words Chu Feng couldn't understand; in any case, it was definitely related to death.

"Damn, I just transmigrated here and I'm about to kick the bucket!"

Chu Feng closed his eyes, feeling very unwilling.

If he died this time, he wondered if he could transmigrate back again.

Just when Chu Feng thought he was about to die.

A familiar voice suddenly rang out.

"Stinky brat, what are you dazing for!"

Chu Feng abruptly opened his eyes and saw that Xu Hu had appeared in front of him at this moment.

Looking at that Xiongnu soldier again, he was dead as could be.

It seemed he had been finished off by a strike from Xu Hu.

"Didn't I tell you to stay to the side? Playing with a blade doesn't suit you!"

After dropping this sentence, Xu Hu resumed the battle.

He charged into a group of Xiongnu soldiers all by himself.

Within two or three moves.

Several Xiongnu soldiers had their heads chopped off by him.

"Damn, this brother is badass!"

Chu Feng secretly gave Xu Hu a thumbs up.

After the battle ended, he would have to find Xu Hu to learn blade techniques from him.

After thinking the situation through, Chu Feng immediately found a place to hide.

He knew his blade technique was no good, so he could only find an opportunity to fire cold arrows.

The battle continued until the afternoon.

Seeing they could not take Dingning Pass, the Xiongnu chose to withdraw their troops and return to camp.

And the Xiongnu soldiers on the city wall were also wiped out by the soldiers of Great Wei.

It was precisely at this moment,

that a new unit walked onto the city wall to relieve the soldiers stationed there.

The unit Chu Feng was in had suffered heavy losses, with nearly one-third of the entire squad lost.

They were relieved to rest.

After walking down from the city wall, they began to eat and rest.

Chu Feng took advantage of this opportunity to find Xu Hu.

"Squad Leader, I want to learn blade techniques from you!"
