After returning to his military tent, Zhao Gao ignored his four roommates as usual. He lay down on his bed, preparing to fall asleep.
The night passed until it was dawn again.
“Dong! Dong! Dong!” The familiar drumbeat sounded.
Zhao Gao put on his armor and ran quickly to the Field No. 10 training ground.
As soon as they arrived at the field, everyone fought for the latrine in order to quickly resolve their ‘three urgent needs’.
Then they waited for Chiliarch Yu to arrive.
In less than ten minutes, ChiliarchYu walked
in.
“Gather!”
“Continue practicing the Black Stone Fist. Only a good physique can support you and help you grow into a good archer!”
“Yes!”
“Charge!”
“Elbow Strike!”
“Roar!”
After an hour of morning training, they started eating breakfast as usual.
Thereafter, it was another morning of Black Stone Fist practice.
Then, they ate and rested.
During this break, Zhao Gao leveled up once more. “Character upgrade successful!” “Current level: 8”
“EXP depleted: 130 050 EXP points”
“All stats grow by 1.”
“Additional Reward for Talent: All Stats increase by 0.5.”
Zhao Gao and the others ignored the throbbing pain in their bodies after leveling up. Then they began their afternoon training.
This afternoon’s training was no longer Black Stone Fist.
“Distribute these. One for each person.” Not long after they had eaten, Chiliarch Yu asked the soldiers to distribute the items contained in the two black bags to Zhao Gao and the others.
Zhao Gao only realized what it was when he held it in his hands.
It was just a pair of Archery Gloves.
The glove was made from indestructible cowhide.
The index finger and middle finger were connected to a cloth belt that extended to the wrist. It was the shape of an entire glove.
Zhao Gao and the others put on the gloves, securing it with the strap. They then began to practice archery.
“Get into line and start shooting!” After Chiliarch Yu gave the order, everyone quickly followed her instructions.
After getting into the formation like what they did yesterday, everyone automatically started to aim at the target.
“Shoot!”
“Swish! Swish! Swish!” The sound of arrows tearing through the air rang out. The arrows which everyone shot out landed differently.
There were those who hit the target by a stroke of luck, as well as those who missed the target totally.
Of course, there were also those like Zhao Gao who relied on their own strength and hit the target. As for whether it was at the bulls’ eye, it would depend on the person’s strength and condition.
“Change!”
After shooting, the first row of people retreated to the back and the second row took aim.
“Shoot!”
“Change!”
“Aim!”
“Shoot!”

The afternoon training lasted until 3 pm, before they stopped to rest.
As they had the protection of archery gloves today, their condition was much better.
For the person who was experiencing the greatest amount of pain yesterday, his fingers were only slightly sore after today’s training.

After the training, Chiliarch Yu led everyone to the stream to wash up.
For Zhao Gao, Adjutant Qian found him once he started practicing his saber techniques.
Just like the day before, Zhao Gao and Adjutant Qian continued to spar for an hour.
The sounds of large sabers clashing against each other rang out continuously before falling into silence again.
After Adjutant Qian left, Zhao Gao washed up and returned to Field No. 10 training ground with Chiliarch Yu and the others.
After they were disbanded, it was time for dinner. Everyone automatically queued up and began to collect their dinner in an orderly manner.
To be honest, till now, Zhao Gao had yet to find anyone who dared to cut the queue.
Or perhaps those who dared to cut the queue had already been taught a lesson!
In this place, everyone had accumulated strength. Once a person had become stronger, he would not be too compliant, especially so in a place like this where there was no law or legislation.
Zhao Gao carried his food to stand by the wall, and ate quietly. As he ate, he secretly critiqued the food in his heart.
“Humph! The chef’s cooking is not good today. The mutton stew still smells gamey. Bad!”
Despite the grumbling in his heart, Zhao Gao had no choice but to eat.
If he did not eat, he would starve. If he was starving, he would not have the strength to train. If he could not train, he would be courting death.
After dinner, he rested for 30 minutes for his food to be digested.
Then, Zhao Gao picked up the bow and arrow from the weapons rack. With a quiver of arrows on his back, he began to practice his Basic Archery skills.
To Zhao Gao, it could not be counted as training. It should be counted as he was trying to maintain his sense of touch and get familiar with it.
Once he lifted the bow in his hand, Zhao Gao felt a sense of familiarity in his body and soul.
He had been shooting arrows day and night for 20 years. All he had to do was pick up his bow and put on an arrow, he could automatically determine how to aim and hit the target. In order not to expose too much of his strength, Zhao Gao stood 100 meters away from the target, and began to shoot-one arrow after another.
He familiarized himself with the feeling in his soul quickly.
“Swish! Bang!” The sound of arrows flying and hitting the target rang out continuously.
Zhao Gao only focused on shooting. After emptying his quiver, he retrieved the arrows and continued shooting again.
Zhao Gao only stopped practicing after more than an hour.
He then drew out his large saber, walked to a corner, and began practicing his saber techniques.
Sweep, Cleave, Plow, Slice, Nail, Slash, Strike.
He gave his full attention to every move and stance.
The Saber Art would be his main weapon in battle in the future. Hence, Zhao Gao did not dare to slacken during each training session.
If he slacked off, he might not even get to live for long in this cruel, infinite world.
This was a technique that concerned his life and death. No matter how much resources and mental energy he invested in it, it would not be wasted.
After training for three hours, Zhao Gao stopped to rest and leaned against the wall. He opened the system interface and gave himself one freedom stats point as he had been doing on a daily basis.
As soon as he added points to his Essence and Magic stats, the pain from his muscle expansion and the joy from the evolution in his soul ravaged his heart again.
Zhao Gao then leaned against the wall to recover the energy he had just expended and calm the pounding in his heart after such an intense activity.
As he rested, he considered the possible developments in the future.
“No, that’s not right. How should I train my Saber techniques in the future? How should I walk the path of the Saber?”
In game terminology, the basic saber skills he was currently training in were only considered a ‘Normal Asttack)’.
He would need to have some skills that could kill off the enemies instantly. And these would be skills that could bring out more of his strength.
An example of these skills would be the ‘Aohan Six Jue’ in “Fung Yun (Wind and Clouds)”, or the Sword Saint’s ‘Twenty-Three Sword Technique’.
Zhao Gao could merely imagine these lofty ideas.
He did not know if he could possess these skills in the future, but for now, these were definitely not within his grasp.
What then?
While deep in thoughts, Zhao Gao thought of a person-Fu Hongxue in the novel “Moonlight Blade”.
III
Fu had spent decades training in one move.
With just one move, Fu Hongxue had become a top martial arts expert in his world.
There are many more examples.

Another example was Li Xunhuan’s ‘Flying Li Daggers’ in the “Romantic Swordsman”.
He had always used this one move to warn his enemies.
Everyone who saw his daggers died.
Li Xunhuan’s ‘Flying Li Daggers’ had almost made him a saint!
Another example was the ‘Heavenrend Sword Art’ that belonged to Qiye Demon Lord.
