Chapter 757: The Bandits Attack

The next morning, Old Shi Wu sent someone to deliver a jar of bear oil to Wang Chen’s home.

The jar was quite small, only half a foot square, but the bear oil inside was truly exceptional.

This bear oil was extracted from the second-grade fierce beast, the Black Barbarian Bear, and had a significant enhancement effect for body cultivation. Old Shi Wu himself rarely used it, parting with it only with great reluctance.

Interestingly, the person he sent to deliver the bear oil was a beautiful young girl with delicate features.

Shi Xiu Xiu, the dream girl of all the young people in Little Stone Village!

Wang Chen, being who he was, undoubtedly understood Old Shi Wu’s intentions.

However, he felt no attraction to Shi Xiu Xiu and could not afford to waste his time and energy on women.

After receiving the bear oil, he quickly sent her away.

In the following days, Wang Chen began a period of intense closed-door training.

Having mastered the Heavenly Dragon Vajra True Method and being skilled in ordinary fighting moves, along with abundant experience in close combat, his actual combat ability surpassed his own cultivation level.

Yet, his cultivation level was too low, which was Wang Chen’s biggest problem at the moment!

Therefore, he devoted most of his time to refining his muscles and bones and improving his physical body.

The experience points for the Bone Refinement and Blood Burning Technique increased rapidly; he progressed from beginner to proficient in just one day.

Reaching the basic level of proficiency only took him three days.

After ten days, Wang Chen’s cultivation level in this technique broke through to the advanced level.

He naturally advanced to the Bone Refinement Stage.

He achieved a level where his muscles and bones resonated in harmony!

Once he focused his energy, all his joints produced crisp sounds, unlocking his potential within.

His strength surged!

A martial artist who reaches such a stage has the qualifications to establish a village.

But Wang Chen kept this matter a secret and did not inform Old Shi Wu.

Unless someone has extremely rich experience and keen perception, it is very difficult to directly discern a martial artist’s cultivation level without them demonstrating it.

At most, one could make a simple judgment based on their aura and presence, but there is still a chance of being misled.

Therefore, as long as Wang Chen didn’t reveal himself, no one in Little Stone Village would know about his abilities.

Day after day, Wang Chen silently persisted in his training.

He knew that in Chibi City, there were innate strong fighters present!

During this time, Wang Chen left the village twice.

Each time, he returned with a large amount of prey.

As his cultivation level increased, his need for beast meat rich in vital energy grew, and the mountain pig meat he previously hunted was consumed within half a month, forcing him to go out hunting again.

As for the hunting team from Little Stone Village, although Old Shi Wu hoped Wang Chen would join them, he chose to venture out on his own.

These hunters would only become a burden and could expose his secrets.

However, after breaking through to the Bone Refinement Stage, Wang Chen’s cultivation speed suddenly slowed down, and his demand for food reached a balance, no longer increasing without limit.

Nonetheless, one month after awakening his memories, Wang Chen had mastered the Bone Refinement and Blood Burning Technique to the level of a grandmaster, simultaneously breaking through to the Blood Refinement Stage!

This technique was almost fully mastered.

"You want to go to Chibi City?"

When Old Shi Wu saw Wang Chen visiting his home and heard his intention, he was taken aback.

"Yes."

Wang Chen clenched his fist, and immediately a series of explosive sounds resembling popping beans echoed from within his body.

Two hundred and six pops!

Bone Refinement Stage!

Old Shi Wu was completely speechless.

When he learned martial arts in Chibi City years ago, he had seen several talented individuals.

But Old Shi Wu had never encountered, nor even heard of, a genius like Wang Chen.

His progress in cultivation was truly astounding!

It had almost surpassed the understanding and experience of this village chief.

After a moment, Old Shi Wu regained his composure and nodded, saying, “Alright, we will set off in three days.”

Although Chibi City was the closest city to Little Stone Village, it was still quite a long journey and filled with danger.

Therefore, they needed to prepare thoroughly.

"Whooo, whooo~"

Just as Old Shi Wu finished speaking, a low and urgent horn sound suddenly echoed from outside.

Filled with anxiety and fear!

Enemy Attack!

Old Shi Wu’s face changed dramatically, and he immediately dashed out of the room.

Wang Chen followed closely behind.

He was quite familiar with this warning horn sound; it typically sounded when the village was invaded by fierce beasts.

In the past month, Wang Chen had heard it once.

But that time wasn’t dangerous; the Hunting Team handled it swiftly.

However, this time the situation was completely different!

Although Wang Chen was a visitor from another world, he had developed feelings for Little Stone Village, and in this moment of crisis, there was no reason to feel fear and flee.

The two rushed to the eastern side of the village, reaching the enclosed farmland area quickly.

The warning horn sound was coming from this direction.

They saw several farmers tumbling and fleeing, and upon seeing Old Shi Wu, they immediately cried out, “Village chief, bandits, bandits are here!”

Old Shi Wu’s heart suddenly sank.

If the attacker were a fierce beast, he wouldn’t be too afraid.

Because there were no higher-level fierce beasts in the area surrounding Little Stone Village, unless a terrifying beast tide broke out, the beasts that came to stir trouble in the village would eventually end up as delicious food.

With him and the Hunting Team, they would be able to handle it.

But bandits were different.

Cities and villages occasionally drove out those who broke the law, leaving them to fend for themselves in the wilderness.

Some were driven out due to fear of punishment or other reasons.

Most of these people quickly died, devoured by the fierce beasts in the mist, leaving no bones behind.

But a small group of martial artists managed to survive in the wilderness and formed teams, roaming around and harassing the villages near the cities.

The bandits were often extremely vicious, exterminating villages and committing atrocities as if it were an everyday occurrence.

Little Stone Village was remote and had previously faced harassment from bandits.

But that was a long time ago!

Old Shi Wu never expected that bandits would attack Little Stone Village today; he could already see shadowy figures not far away.

Along with shouts, curses, laughter, and cries for help!

Whoosh!

An arrow shot towards him like lightning, aimed straight at Old Shi Wu’s vital chest.

The village chief reacted quickly and sidestepped to avoid it.

But his speed inevitably slowed down.

At that moment, a figure dashed past Old Shi Wu and lunged toward the bandits in front.

It was Wang Chen.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Three sharp arrows shot towards him.

Old Shi Wu’s face changed dramatically: “Be careful!”

Neither he nor Wang Chen wore protective leather armor, and their Bone Refinement Stage could not withstand the attack of arrows. If hit in a vital area, dying on the spot would be normal.

However, Wang Chen simply raised his hand and swatted the incoming arrows to the ground!

The sight shocked the bandits.

Several archers hurriedly nocked their arrows, preparing to shoot three more arrows at Wang Chen with full power.

But before they could release their arrows, Wang Chen had already pounced in front of them!
