After transmigrating to the Great Yao, Lu Chen starts with a house stripped bare and becomes a poor hunter on the verge of starving to death.
The rice jar is so empty it could raise mice. All he has is a broken bow and seven blunt arrows. A proper hellish start.
Luckily, Lu Chen awakens a proficiency panel.
Others need talent and insight to practice martial arts. Lu Chen just needs to grind, and he can level up endlessly!
[Basic Archery: Beginner!]
[Tiger-Subduing Stance: Beginner!]
[Basic Saber Techniques: Beginner!]
One part effort, ten parts reward. No bottlenecks. As long as he keeps practicing, none of it goes to waste.
Archery can be upgraded, saber techniques can be upgraded, movement skills can be upgraded, and so can internal cultivation!
From shooting hares and killing wolves in the depths of the mountains to piercing through the martial world one step at a time, his arrows reigning supreme beneath the heavens, Lu Chen thought he was following the hard-core martial arts grindset script.
But little by little, he realizes that the people around him are acting stranger and stranger.
The aloof senior apprentice sister of the martial arts school keeps showing up at his house every day under the pretext of practicing archery, blatantly throwing herself at him.
The wealthy proprietress of a merchant guild remembers exactly what size clothes he wears.
The haughty female bandit of the martial world doesn't steal gold or silver when she sneaks in at night. Every few days, she just climbs through his window.
But none of that is the real problem.
The biggest headache is the pretty village girl he picked up deep in the mountains, who obediently chops wood and washes dishes for him every day.
Then one day, upheaval strikes the Divine Capital, and Lu Chen enters the city with his bow.
Before the Golden Chariot Hall, he sees the assembled officials bowing and crying, "Long live the Emperor!"
On the dragon throne, the peerless empress, whose majesty commands the world, looks at him with an amused smile.
"Lu Chen."
"I hear you've been spending a lot of time with several young ladies lately. Is that true?"
"Your Majesty, if I say I was only teaching them archery, one-on-one, would you believe me?"
