Online Game: Me, with Unparalleled Comprehension

A man and a horse, their shadows stretched long and slanted in the morning light.

Wu Feng had gotten used to this rhythm.

Horses have limited endurance; after galloping at full speed for more than an hour, their speed slowed down significantly, and they began to breathe heavily.

He slowed down at the right moment, his gaze sweeping over both sides of the official road.

Ahead lay another hilly area, overgrown with shrubs, where one could see wild boars rooting in the soil and hyenas with their green eyes roaming in the distance.

He dismounted, tied up the horse, and fed it hay—all in one smooth motion.

Then he turned and walked toward the group of monsters that had begun to stir at the scent of living people.

The starting stance of Tai Chi Chuan is set up.

With his minor mastery of the fist techniques, he was already adept at dealing with these ordinary wild monsters.

The tusked boar's charge was deflected by the wild horse's parted mane; the hyena's pounce was easily deflected by the Cloud Hand; a single whip slashed diagonally; the Jade Maiden weaved through the air; and the Bone-Piercing Strike pierced through the bone...

The movements are fluid and graceful, and the power is released and released with ease.

[Slaying a tusked boar grants 120 experience points. Tai Chi proficiency increases by 210.]

[Slayed a coyote, gaining 90 experience points. Tai Chi proficiency increased by 210.]

The prompt indicates that the movement is stable at the edge of the field of vision.

After two hours of intense combat, when the sun was high overhead and the light and shadow in the forest became short and bright, a sense of enlightenment that was far more complete and profound than Xiao Cheng's, with energy flowing freely, rose from his dantian and instantly spread throughout his body.

As the fist moves, the concept of using softness to overcome hardness and leading the opponent into emptiness seems to become as instinctive as breathing.

The waist and stance move in perfect harmony, appearing more natural, with all the joints of the body working in perfect coordination.

[System Notification: Congratulations! Your Tai Chi Chuan has reached the Great Perfection level! Arm Strength +80, Constitution +60, Body Movement +40. Your understanding and application of soft and neutralizing force have greatly improved. When performing Tai Chi Chuan, you will significantly enhance your resistance and counterattack capabilities against close-range grappling and throws, and you can more effectively use the opponent's force against them, overcoming stronger opponents with weaker strength.]

The horses would run and stop intermittently, practicing their martial arts at nearby monster spawn points when they got tired, and then continue galloping when they were rested.

As we walked and practiced like this, the sun began to set in the west, and the evening glow painted the horizon with a warm gold.

Wu Feng stopped his stance and stood still, slowly exhaling.

The breath condensed into a straight white ribbon in the air, which dissipated after a few breaths.

He flexed his wrists, feeling the boost brought by the Great Completion Realm.

It's not just about the numbers flashing on the attribute panel, but also about a deeper understanding of the core of the martial art.

I glanced at the skill bar:

Tai Chi (Dacheng 100800/300000)

From mastery to perfection, 300,000 proficiency points are required.

But this day of actual combat not only allowed him to break through to the Great Mastery level, but also accumulated more than 100,000 additional proficiency points.

"Practicing outside is definitely faster than burying yourself in hard training on Wudang Mountain," Wu Feng muttered to himself, a slight smile playing on his lips.

In the wild, there are a constant stream of live targets to feed you, and experience points and drops as additional benefits, making the overall efficiency much higher.

He walked back to where he had tied the horse, untied the reins, patted the horse's neck, and mounted the saddle.

"drive!"

The chestnut horse galloped south along the official road once more.

The wind brushed past my ears, carrying the scents of the fields and distant mountains.

The horse was jolting along, and he held the reins with one hand while taking out the braised beef and steamed buns he had packed that morning from his backpack with the other. He ate them slowly with the water from his water bag.

The dry rations taste ordinary, but they can effectively fill your hunger bar.

As he ate, he pulled out the slightly rough sheepskin map from his pocket.

A faint light flickered on the map, indicating his current location.

This is a basic location feature built into the game, preventing players from getting completely lost in the vast world.

He traced his finger across the map, indicating that he had already covered most of the long journey from Wudang Mountain to Dali.

My gaze fell on the border area of ​​Dali, and I estimated the distance.

"We're almost there," he said softly. "If we keep traveling tomorrow, we should be able to enter Dali territory."

He put away the map and focused on getting on his way.

At the end of the official road ahead, the outline of a sizable town finally came into view.

Compared to the towns we had passed through before, this town was obviously much more prosperous, with towering city walls, soldiers guarding the gates, and a constant stream of pedestrians and carriages.

Wu Feng led his horse through the city gate.

The streets paved with bluestone slabs were much wider, lined with shops on both sides, and noisy voices came from restaurants and teahouses. Many players mingled with the NPCs, chatting in small groups.

He led his horse through the crowd, his ears keenly picking up snippets of conversation among the players.

"...That kid Duan Yu fell into a cave near Wuliang Mountain and found the Northern Darkness Divine Skill and the Lingbo Steps! Should we go and try our luck?"

"It's not that easy! The Boundless Sect is guarding it, and those NPC disciples are not easy to deal with."

"There are too many poisonous insects and strange beasts in Wanjie Valley. Several brothers on the forum went in and never came out. They were poisoned to death and didn't even know how they were poisoned..."

"Forget about the Manggu Toad; that thing is the king of all poisons, getting close means death."

"Whatever, we're already here, we might as well give it a try. Aren't all the big shots on the leaderboard heading this way?"

Wu Feng listened calmly.

The players here are indeed all here for a chance encounter.

Wuliang Mountain, Wanjie Valley, Manggu Zhuha... To players familiar with the original work, these names are like gold mines waiting to be mined.

He led his horse straight toward the town's general store.

I've accumulated quite a few materials from fighting monsters all day; I need to process them first.

The shopkeeper was an old man with a goatee, who was checking accounts with an abacus.

Wu Feng dumped a large pile of materials, including wolf skins, wild boar skins, and tusks, onto the counter.

The shopkeeper looked up and examined the quality of the items. After a while, he turned on his abacus and said, "Seventy wild boar tusks, one hundred and twenty coins each; one hundred and twenty hyena pelts, eighty coins each; one hundred and fifty pairs of wild boar tusks, one hundred coins each... In total, thirty-three taels of silver."

Wu Feng nodded and accepted the loose silver.

Including the scattered copper coins dropped by monsters, today's income exceeds forty taels of silver.

He was quite satisfied with the gold-making efficiency.

After dealing with the spoils, he led his horse to a spacious inn in town called "Sihai Inn".

He handed the horse over to the waiter to take it to the stable for proper care, and paid an extra ten coins to feed it some premium feed.

He went into the lobby and asked for a regular room.

Then I found an empty table by the window on the first floor, ordered a pot of tea, two small dishes, and a bowl of beef noodles.

While waiting for the food to be served, he glanced around.

There were no fewer than twenty or thirty players sitting in the lobby, gathered around several tables, discussing things noisily.

"...Have you heard? Sword Roaring Nine Heavens has brought people to Dali! The one ranked third!"

"Not only him, although the Overlord Blade team was wiped out last time, they have formed a new team this time, and I heard that they have also recruited two top-50 players from the leaderboard."

"They've all gone mad... The Four Evils haven't even shown up yet, and these people are already rushing to scout the place."

"That's normal. Who wouldn't want to be the first to trigger the plot? If they actually managed to get the Northern Darkness Divine Art, they'd be on their way to the top."

Wu Feng listened and couldn't help but purse his lips.

It's all here.

This small town on the border of Dali had several times more players than the places we had passed through before, and it was incredibly lively.

A large number of people means fierce competition and many troubles.

He looked down at his drab, coarse cloth outfit.

He glanced at the other players around him; some were wearing leather armor, while others carried fine iron swords.

Although not luxurious, it certainly looked much more glamorous than his outfit.

"The equipment looks a bit shabby," Wu Feng muttered to himself, but he didn't really care.

It's best if nobody pays attention to him, to avoid trouble.
