"When?"
Wild Dog was shocked, Zhou Chen managed to take his knife right under his nose without him noticing.
If Zhou Chen had intended to stab him instead of taking his knife, wouldn't he have died without realizing it?
"Should I cut you a bit?"
Zhou Chen's lips curled slightly, gently tapping Wild Dog and Er Ma's faces with the knife blade.
The cold blade stung their cheeks, both shocked and scared, but not daring to move.
"Brother Chen, misunderstanding!"
"It's all a misunderstanding!"
Er Ma squeezed out a hard-to-watch flattering smile on his face, his entire arm still numb, completely not daring to fight Zhou Chen.
Especially since Zhou Chen holds the knife.
"Brother Chen, we heard you're getting married, so we came specifically to congratulate you!"
As Wild Dog spoke, he reluctantly took out one-tenth of a silver from his pocket and respectfully offered it to Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen might not dare to kill him, but beating them up and cutting them a bit wouldn't be an issue.
"Oh, a congratulation, why didn't you say so earlier?"
Zhou Chen casually pocketed the silver, looking at Er Ma.
"Wild Dog, that coward!"
Er Ma cursed inwardly, yet obediently took out one-tenth of a silver, feeling pained.
"You better not hang around near my house, or I'll break your legs!"
With that said, Zhou Chen strode past them.
After taking a couple of steps, Zhou Chen paused:
"Wild Dog, your knife, here you go!"
Wild Dog turned his head, only to see a cold light pass by his nose and hit the big tree five zhang away with a crisp sound.
Wild Dog's legs trembled, instinctively touched his nose.
"Thank goodness! My nose is still here!"
Feeling relieved, Wild Dog's heart still felt icy cold.
Not until Zhou Chen was far away, completely disappearing from their sight, did they slowly regain their senses and walk to the tree.
Seeing the dagger lodged in the trunk with a cicada skewered on the tip, their pupils shrank and their hearts shook.
"Gasp!"
They wouldn't naively believe this was a coincidence.
This was definitely a warning from Zhou Chen.
If they didn't behave, they'd end up like the cicada.
"Zhou... Brother Chen, is he really that formidable?"
"I heard Old Man Cao is skilled, seems like Brother Chen got the true inheritor, outdoing the master!"
The two exchanged glances, listing Zhou Chen as someone not to provoke.
Zhou Chen toyed with Er Ma's dagger, feeling delighted.
"Thunder Light Ruyi Hand really is formidable!"
He looked at his hands, being a hunter, of course, he was skilled at throwing, but his accuracy was usually just average, unlike today when he casually threw the dagger to hit the cicada on the tree trunk five zhang away.
This was all thanks to Thunder Light Ruyi Hand.
And this was just the basic ability; other functions were yet to be developed.
With the Thunder Light Ruyi Hand, in close combat, without weapons, he could easily take down dozens of men.
As long as he grasped someone, they'd be numb and lose the ability to fight.
And he's so fast!
No one could get close.
For ranged attacks, he has a bow and arrow; his hand speed allows him to shoot arrows even faster.
"With my current strength, as long as I don't encounter martial artists or monsters and demons, I should be able to protect myself, but this world is unstable; I still need to find a way to get martial arts..."
As a transmigrator with a cheat, Zhou Chen naturally wanted to see the view on the mountain peak, plus only strength could let him live better!
He looked at his personal panel.
He had sixty-nine Wind and Moon Points, which he could use to enhance his skills.
He guessed that as long as he carried out matters of the Wind and Moon, he should earn Wind and Moon Points.
The skills were divided into beginner, skillful, proficient, minor achievement, major achievement, perfect, and divine seven levels.
His best skill, archery, was only skillful (15/20), but it wasn't far from proficient.
"Archery, add points!"
With a thought, Zhou Chen added five Wind and Moon Points to archery.
The skill column instantly changed, archery (proficient 0/40).
An inexplicable sensation poured into his heart.
Zhou Chen's consciousness seemed to arrive at a forest, practicing archery day after day, with no distractions, sweating profusely.
His archery advanced bit by bit over time.
Finally reaching proficiency.
Zhou Chen regained his senses, realizing only a moment passed, yet when he held the bow and arrow, a matchless sense of familiarity flooded him, as if he'd practiced for two and a half years.
Even his body and arms felt stronger!
"Great!"
Zhou Chen's lips curled up, very satisfied.
Adding points seemed to have no depletion on himself, able even to enhance his strength.
"It appears Wind and Moon Points are akin to energy."
"Sixty-four Wind and Moon Points left!"
Zhou Chen continued adding forty points to archery.
Archery (minor achievement 0/80)
Tracking added fifteen points.
Tracking (proficient 0/40)
The familiar sensation surged again, Zhou Chen's understanding of archery was even deeper, his arms even stronger.
Minor achievement archery paired with Thunder Light Ruyi Hand, Zhou Chen felt his archery wasn't inferior to perfect archery.
Hundred-Step Piercing Willow, not saying hitting one hundred percent, but definitely not far off!
And proficient tracking sharpened his eyes, nose, ears, and other senses, often able to detect traces of prey based on subtle clues!
He opened the personal panel.

"With my current strength, hitting prey shouldn't be difficult!"
Zhou Chen was spirited, high-spirited: "Once my various skills reach transcendence, I'll take care of that big bug, also avenging Old Man Cao!"
Carrying bow and arrow, Zhou Chen entered the mountain again.
Along the way, he remained vigilant, not relaxing even a bit despite his increased strength.
Suddenly.
He spotted a Bamboo Leaf Green camouflaged in the tree branches and leaves, ready to ambush prey at any moment!
Zhou Chen quickly extended his hand, and in the blink of an eye, caught the Bamboo Leaf Green at seven inches, giving it a casual shake, it hung slackly in his hand, the entire snake numb.
"Thunder Light Ruyi Hand is indeed useful!"
With a casual toss of the loose snake, Zhou Chen continued searching for prey!
Cackling!
Not long after, a wild chicken squawked and flapped, taking to the air.
Zhou Chen bent his bow and nocked an arrow, which tore through the sky, striking the wild chicken's wing, causing it to plummet.
Wild chicken +1.
Next.
Wild rabbit +1.
Wild rabbit +1.
Wild chicken +1.
"Two wild rabbits, two wild chickens..."
Looking at today's harvest, Zhou Chen was still satisfied, playing with two pebbles in his hand.
Now, at a ten zhang distance, he was too lazy to use a bow and arrow, opting instead to throw pebbles.
Especially with wild rabbits, their hide is useful, using pebbles won't damage their hide.
And his throwing skill rapidly improved through practice, nearing the proficient level.
"Another half-hour of hunting then heading back!"
Zhou Chen glanced at the sky, the sun past noon, blazing hot; though it was still early, he hadn't had lunch yet.
Moreover, newly married, he wanted to return home and study how to earn Wind and Moon Points.
Whoosh!
A white blur suddenly flashed from the nearby grass, moving swiftly.
Zhou Chen's sharp eyes swiftly threw a pebble.
Bang!
The pebble passed through the grass, smacking the prey fiercely, which uttered a sharp cry.
"Seems like a fox!"
Zhou Chen quickly advanced with his bow and arrow, discovering a white fox.
"Squeak squeak!"
Spotting Zhou Chen, the white fox's eyes were fierce, growling and baring its teeth as if it intended to bite.
Zhou Chen reached out, grabbing the white fox by the neck, lifting it into the air.
The white fox felt a shockwave pass through it, rendering its body numb, powerless to struggle.
Wind and Moon Point +1.
"Hmm?"
Zhou Chen widened his eyes, wondering what was going on?
...
