My Cultivation Starting from Archery

The hunter-born Chen Sansi was truly curious.

"I don't know,"

Bai Thingzhi shook his head.

"Let's keep going."

The group continued to traverse mountains and valleys.

Chen Sansi's proficiency in "Tracking and Hiding" kept climbing. As he observed his surroundings, they became clearer and clearer. He could see not only hair but eventually, he even felt that he could see inside the bodies of the creatures around him.

A moment of daze.

A panel floated up.

[Tracking and Hiding (Great Success)]

[Progress: Cannot be further improved]

[Utility: Qi Observation Skill]

[Qi Observation Skill: Observe the Qi of heaven, earth, and humans, making it impossible to hide]

In an inexplicable way, Chen Sansi felt a mysterious power flooding into his body, finally converging in his eyes.

When he looked at the world again, he saw that everything had a certain Qi!

The gray rabbits in the snow, the hawks flying overhead, the black bears hibernating in tree hollows, the ground squirrels hiding in their caves, and so on!

Including people!

This Qi seemed very ethereal on Sun Buqi but very vibrant on Bai Thingzhi, and the strongest on himself.

Perhaps, this has to do with one's Cultivation stage.

Chen Sansi then looked at the dead wolf and saw that its Qi was markedly different from all other creatures or people—it was blood red. Although the color was faint, it carried a strange feeling.

What about Exotic Beasts?

What does the Qi of an Exotic Beast look like?

What's the principle behind this Qi Observation Skill, and why does everyone have a Qi?

Even the ground has it!

Looking at the ground, Chen Sansi could see a medley of differing Qi.

Is the reason why people can cultivate Martial Arts and break the limits of their bodies related to this Qi?

He immediately activated his Breathing Skill.

Indeed!

Supplemented by Pile Work, the Breathing Skill could absorb the mixed Qi between heaven and earth into the body, then use it to transform the body.

So that's how it is!

The utility of [Qi Observation Skill] wasn't limited to this alone.

Within a certain range, Chen Sansi could detect the Qi of all living beings, which naturally prevented anyone from hiding and launching a surprise attack, and also enabled him to trace their whereabouts.

He truly took "Tracking and Hiding" to the extreme!

Unfortunately, it couldn't be improved anymore.

"Sansi, what are you looking at?"

Sun Buqi waved his hand in front of him, "Come on, we still have a long way to go."

"Right."

Chen Sansi came back to his senses and continued on with the two others.

On the way, he noticed a flicker of Qi to the right.

Given the vastness of the Luotian Mountain Range, which could sustain countless people, it was only natural that they were not the only ones hunting on the mountain.

"It's right ahead!"

Around dusk, Bai Thingzhi stopped.

"Recently, I saw a Saber-Toothed Tiger hunting a White Deer in this area, but I don't know exactly where its den is. We'll have to look together, I'm afraid."

"That's enough."

Chen Sansi's eyes were sharp like lightning; he saw all the "Qi" around him within a range of two hundred steps, basically immune to any surprise attacks!

Besides that, effects like "Insight" and "Light as a Feather" that he had before didn't disappear but instead became stronger.

He quickly located the hunting range of the Saber-Toothed Tiger through the traces left by the frightened and fleeing wildlife, leading him to find a not-so-hidden cave.

"Wait a minute!"

Chen Sansi crouched down in the nearby jungle.

A Saber-Toothed Tiger is different from an ordinary Big Worm; it's an extremely fierce Exotic Beast, whose fighting power is comparable to a Refining Organ Martial Artist.

As a hunter with professional aptitude, he planned to first lure the Saber-Toothed Tiger out with other prey.

"Sir, let me take the lead for you!"

But unexpectedly, Bai Thingzhi took the Broadsword from his back and charged headfirst into the tiger's den, unstoppable.

"Roar—"

What followed

was a roar and the noise of a fight that sent chills down one's spine.

"This beast is extremely tough!"

Bai Thingzhi emerged frantically from the depths of the cave, his clothes torn to shreds, clearly indicating a close combat with the Saber-Toothed Tiger and that he had managed to resist a few blows with his Vajra Body.

"Roar!"

Another tiger roar, and a massive shadow rushed out of the depths of the cave.

What a beast!

This Exotic Beast tiger, by rough estimates, stood eight feet tall with a body length of one and a half zhang. Its gaping mouth exposed two sharp fangs, resembling two long swords sticking out. The claws on its forelimbs were like blades forged from steel, even gleaming with a red light in the sunset.

Its sheer size was one thing, but its explosive speed was terrifying, reaching the level of small achievement in Refining Internal. The tiger could leap over ten zhang in one bound, and its razor-sharp claws rained down on Bai Thingzhi's back.

"Crrrash—"

The sound of screeching metal friction echoed as his Vajra Body was fully employed.

Bai Thingzhi flew several zhang forward and crashed into the jungle.

"Whizz whizz whizz—"

Sun Buqi desperately shot arrows, and finally, two hit their mark, but neither struck a vital point, only further enraging the Saber-Toothed Tiger.

"Roar roar roar!"

Blinded by rage, the tiger pounced towards its prey from up the slope, descending like an unstoppable war deity from the skies!

"Boom—"

Until a cannon-like arrow accurately penetrated its heart.

The war deity suddenly fell, crashing straight down from the sky and rolling several times before coming to a stop.

A fifty-stone bow!

Beasts can't compare to humans.

If they lack intelligence and don't know to dodge, one arrow is usually enough to spell their imminent death.

"Indeed powerful."

Chen Sansi was taken aback.

Even after taking an arrow to the heart, the Saber-Toothed Tiger hadn't died instantly. It lay there, struggling to rise, showing a terrifying will to live.

"Boom boom boom—"

Without hesitation, he quickly shot two more arrows to ultimately end the life of the tiger.
