Faced with the man's coercion, you made your choice!

In this world, giving in isn't the solution to everything!

The youthful courage and passion are the defining characteristics of this martial world!

And you, besides your boundless courage, possess the most crucial trump card!

[System Notification: You have spent 435 potential points to upgrade your martial art "Spring Breeze and Rain Needle" to Level 2 (0% progress, basic understanding). You have mastered the third move of "Spring Breeze and Rain Needle," "Light Rain Washes Away Dust," and the fourth move, "Penetrating Thunder."]

[System Notification: You have spent 1000 potential points. Your martial art "Spring Breeze and Rain Needle" has been upgraded to Level 3 (0% chance of reaching the initial stage). You have mastered the fifth move of "Spring Breeze and Rain Needle," "Fallen Petals Protecting Flowers," and the sixth move, "Raging Storm."]

[Current remaining potential points: 1594.]

Chen Xuan did not add any more points, for a simple reason: neither the Five Animal Frolics nor the subsequent Spring Breeze and Rain Needle could be improved with potential points.

Especially the Five Animal Frolics, which requires a total of 5000 potential points to reach level 3, a huge leap!

At this moment, the rapidly flashing text on the screen did not give Chen Xuan much time to hesitate or consider.

"You little brat, that old devil Wang Wu was given two jin of horse urine by me, and he already revealed your secrets! You're no martial artist at all! Hand over the treasure fish obediently!"

Otherwise, in this desolate wilderness, even if you accidentally drowned, absolutely no one would know!

The man was still threatening you, while the two shirtless youths beside him had moved to your left and right sides!

[They are unaware that in this short period of time, you feel that your understanding of the gentle, nurturing approach has deepened.]

Your gaze is fixed firmly on the man before you.

You slowly lowered the fish basket in your hand, and three steel needles slipped from your sleeve!

This is your trump card!

Your actions brought a smile to the leader's face, and he laughed heartily: "Isn't that enough? You little brat, you know what's good for you..."

He hadn't even finished speaking when you already made your move!

[Battle begins!]

[You struck first, and the silver steel needle that had slipped from your fingers was suddenly hurled away amidst the man's laughter!]

Based on your understanding of medicine, you held nothing back, striking directly at the man's vital points. You knew this preemptive strike had to be decisive!

No one expected that you would dare to strike first under such circumstances, and even more unexpectedly, that you, who looked so frail, could deliver such a devastating blow at this moment!

A streak of silver light flashed.

[The second move of the "Spring Breeze and Rain: A Deadly Needle" technique: A Bone-Piercing Thunderclap!]

[The silver steel needle flashed like lightning. Although there was no internal force to enhance it, the attributes you modified when you were fishing hadn't changed yet. At this moment, all your attributes were still allocated to Strength!]

[Pfft!]

[After a crisp, soft sound, a small red dot appeared on the man's chest!]

[Your strength is 5, and the sharpness of the steel needle is +. In the blink of an eye, without anyone expecting it, you accurately struck your opponent's xiphoid process at a mere five meters away!]

[The Jiuwei acupoint! One of the fatal acupoints in the human body; striking it will surely lead to death!]

The steel needle pierced the man's xiphoid process. His face still bore the smile and the traces of his previous greed.

[Only after a moment did he lower his head in a daze. Blood from his chest, like a squeezed stream of water, gushed out instantly. An unimaginable pain surged through the man's body at that moment!]

【"ah!"】

The piercing screams froze the two shirtless youths in shock.

They turned around and watched helplessly as their father collapsed to the ground, his face filled with confusion and pain.

Their father is dead!

Faced with this scene, the two young men reacted with completely opposite attitudes.

A burly, menacing-looking man suddenly collapsed to the ground, pointing at you with a terrified expression: "You're a martial artist? You're a martial artist?"

The other, slightly thinner one, suddenly turned bloodshot, his eyes turning completely red. He lunged at you recklessly, shouting, "You thief, return my father's life!"

Your gaze darkened, and you took two steps back, but your speed was far inferior to that of the youth who had already pounced on you.

Fortunately, those two steps were enough for your wrist to recover from the blow.

[You lack internal energy and excessive strength, so the power of the fourth move of the Spring Breeze and Rain Needle Technique, "Thunderous Penetration," cannot be fully unleashed. You must find a more suitable position to attack.]

Therefore, you must find a truly lethal position!

Finally, at the very moment the young man arrived...

Your eyes narrowed again as you watched the shirtless youth pounce on you like a mad tiger. A steel needle tightened in your hand, and you unleashed your previous attack once more!

[A thunderbolt that pierces to the bone!]

Blood gushed out! The second steel needle pierced straight into the bare-chested youth. With no clothes to obstruct it, the spurting blood stained your cloth clothes crimson.

However, to your surprise, this young man, despite suffering a fatal blow, did not fall as before. Instead, he lunged forward again, using his last strength to hold you tightly!

His eyes were bloodshot, like a dying wolf still clinging tightly to its prey, even as blood streamed uncontrollably from the corner of its mouth.

[Your strength is not much weaker than his, but the power this young man, who has spent years fishing on a boat, unleashed in his dying moments is something you cannot immediately break free from.]

He sensed your struggle, turned around, and shouted at the young man who had fallen to the ground:

"Brother! Come quick! I've subdued him! Come quick, avenge Father!"

"No! No! Erhu, he's a martial artist! He's a martial artist! That bastard Wang Laowu lied to us! He lied to us!"

"Brother! Come quick! He's not a martial artist! Come quick..."

He couldn't explain anymore; with his last ounce of strength, all the strength in his body, he held you tightly!

[You were still struggling, but your gaze had already passed over the young man in front of you, fixed firmly on the burly young man behind you.]

At this moment, the burly young man seemed to notice your situation, hesitated for a moment before standing up, and picked up the fish-killing knife he was holding once more.

As you watch the burly young man approach step by step, you also feel the strength of the young man holding you weakening at an unimaginable speed.

"Ahhh..."

[With a roar that seemed to bolster his courage, the young man suddenly swung his sword at you!]

Faced with his slashing attack, you decide...

[Your thoughts shifted, and instead of dodging, you simply shifted your weight slightly, barely managing to withstand the blow with your shoulder. Your health -10]

The searing pain gave you an unimaginable surge of strength, and you finally shoved the barely breathing young man in your arms away with a loud shout:

"Your brother is dead! Do you want to die again?!"

With a loud shout, the burly young man stared, stunned, at his fallen brother.

[Such a good opportunity, of course you wouldn't miss it. You no longer had time to pick up the steel needle hidden in your sleeve; in that instant, you suddenly gripped it, looking at the young man who was now terrified.]

Without a second thought, she gripped the steel needle in her sleeve and, like a dagger, slammed it towards the young man's head!

[Spring Breeze and Rain: One of the Deadly Needle Techniques: Evil Wind Enters the Body!]

The steel needle pierced the young man's temple in an instant!

The blood flowed down the long needle, past your palm, and soaked your sleeve.

The young man stared at you in disbelief at your狰狞 (zhengning - ferocious/hideous) face, as if he had forgotten that greed was their original sin.

Finally, he collapsed heavily to the ground.

You lowered your limp arm, panting heavily.

You finally had time to wipe the blood from your face.

[Smeared with fresh blood,]

A young man who has always longed for the world of martial arts.

[I tasted blood for the first time:]

It tastes a bit salty, a bit fishy, ​​and a little painful.
