Chapter 8

"Get out—!"

Although Ye Xing was too lazy to take Ye Hu seriously, he was now angry and punched directly at Ye Hu's approaching hand.

A series of crackling sounds came from inside Ye Xing's body as he used the Bone Explosion Fist.

Although Ye Hu was two years younger, he was a third-level Martial Artist, not an easy opponent. Ye Xing pushed the power of the Bone Explosion Fist to its limit.

However, 101 crisp sounds rang out simultaneously, sounding like a continuous series of crackles, making it impossible for outsiders to distinguish how many there were.

"Dare to lay a hand on me?"

Seeing Ye Xing attack, Ye Hu's eyes lit up, and a look of disdain appeared on his face. He shouted, "You're the one who should get out!"

As he shouted, Ye Hu turned his palm into a fist, and a series of crackling sounds also came from his body as he used the Bone Explosion Fist.

Bang—

The two fists met with a dull thud.

Ye Hu's expression instantly turned to shock, and his fist retracted as if it had been electrocuted, his body retreating three steps.

In terms of cultivation, Ye Xing was at the second level of Martial Arts, while Ye Hu was at the third level, a difference of one realm.

However, in terms of the Bone Explosion Fist, Ye Hu, who had just entered the third level, had not yet perfected it and was only at the Great Success stage. Compared to Ye Xing's 101 crisp sounds, the power difference was significant.

Overall, Ye Xing's punch was more powerful.

"Good, good, good! Ye Xing, I never properly disciplined you before, but today I will make you taste my wrath!"

Ye Hu's face turned red with anger, unable to accept being pushed back by Ye Xing, a so-called waste of a body.

In his view, the reason he was at a disadvantage was that Ye Xing had taken the initiative, and he had hastily turned his palm into a fist, not fully utilizing his strength.

Now that he was prepared, he would beat Ye Xing to the ground, regardless of whether he was the son of the family head.

Ye Hu shouted, and another series of crackling sounds came from his body as he attacked Ye Xing with a punch.

Ye Xing snorted coldly, confident that his Bone Explosion Fist, which surpassed the Great Success stage, was not to be feared by a third-level Martial Artist.

Moreover, he had not yet used his super brain's scanning ability. Once he did, any flaw in Ye Hu's movements would be exposed, and even if Ye Hu were at the peak of the third level, Ye Xing would not fear him.

Bone Explosion Fist!

Ye Xing, wanting to test the power of the Perfect Bone Explosion Fist, swung his fist like a needle piercing a grain of wheat, attacking Ye Hu.

However, before their fists could collide, Ye Xing's arm suddenly retracted, pulling his fist back.

At that moment, two large hands suddenly grabbed from the side, one catching Ye Hu's wrist, the other missing.

Huh?

Ye Feiting was surprised that Ye Xing could avoid his grab, which impressed him.

"Who dares to stop me...?"

Ye Hu's wrist was suddenly grabbed, and in his anger, he roared, pulling his arm back forcefully, but his wrist remained immobile.

"Third Elder!"

A respectful voice sounded from the side, and all the Ye family martial artists were deferential to the middle-aged man who had grabbed Ye Hu.

"Third Elder!" Even the guests in the shop showed great respect for this man.

The Ye family was the first martial arts family in Green Leaf Town, and the main family had significant influence in Tiancang City. The Third Elder of the Ye family was a major figure whose actions could shake the entire town.

"Th-Third Elder!"

Ye Hu's expression changed, and he immediately calmed down. The Third Elder was a true martial artist, at the peak of the fourth level, almost reaching the fifth level.

The fourth level was a significant divide from the third level, and Ye Hu had no ability to resist a fourth-level martial artist.

Of course, the Third Elder's cultivation was not the main issue. The key was that the Third Elder was the younger brother of the family head, and Ye Xing was the Third Elder's nephew. If he beat Ye Xing in public, the Third Elder might punish him even more severely.

Although he was also the Third Elder's nephew, he was a cousin, not a direct nephew, which made a difference.

This made him feel relieved that he had not really beaten Ye Xing. He also blamed himself for fighting in the weapon shop, which was managed by the Third Elder, a foolish move.

Ye Hu decided that if he wanted to teach Ye Xing a lesson, he would need to find a safe place and run back to his grandfather afterward. His grandfather was the First Elder, a fifth-level martial artist, and with his protection, even if he beat Ye Xing, he would not face severe punishment.

"Third Elder!" Ye Xing also nodded slightly to Ye Feiting.

Although Ye Feiting was Ye Xing's uncle, he did not pay much attention to Ye Xing because of his waste of a body, and their relationship was not very close. The previous Ye Xing called Ye Feiting "Third Elder," and continuing to do so was not unusual.

"What's going on? Fighting among family members, it's a disgrace and a laughingstock," Ye Feiting said, releasing Ye Hu's wrist and glaring at both of them without favoring either.

When Ye Hu was mocking Ye Xing, a shop assistant, fearing that the two young masters would cause trouble in the weapon shop, had gone to inform Ye Feiting, which is why he arrived just in time.

Otherwise, Ye Feiting usually did not stay in the weapon shop but in the mansion behind it.

"Third Elder, Ye Xing has no money but wants to borrow a bow and arrows worth over 6,000 taels of silver. If everyone did this, the entire weapon shop would be lent out, and our family would starve. Our family is a large household with rules. Weapons in the shop can only be bought, not borrowed. I firmly opposed it, but Ye Xing attacked me," Ye Hu said loudly, believing he was in the right.

"In a month, I will pay double the price," Ye Xing said calmly.

The shop assistant had already whispered the details to Ye Feiting.

Ye Feiting, with his hands behind his back, said, "Both of you are from the Ye family. A mere 6,000 taels of silver should not make you fight. This is disappointing."

After scolding both of them, Ye Feiting looked at Lu Daxiong. "Lu Daxiong!"

Lu Daxiong immediately stepped forward. "Third Elder!"

Ye Feiting said, "You were willing to bear the loss to resolve their conflict, which is commendable. However, there's no need for you to pay for the bow and arrows. Put it on my account; I will give it to Ye Xing."

Lu Daxiong respectfully replied, "Yes, Third Elder."

Ye Feiting's attitude surprised Ye Xing. It seemed the original owner did not understand his uncle. From now on, Ye Feiting seemed to be quite good to his nephew.

"Thank you, Uncle!"

Ye Xing was not cold-hearted. Since Ye Feiting was good to him, he would no longer call him "Third Elder," making their relationship more intimate.

"You are different after this injury," Ye Feiting said, looking at Ye Xing. The previous Ye Xing was timid and very insecure, hardly daring to speak. He patted Ye Xing's shoulder. "This is better!"

With that, Ye Feiting turned and left.

Ye Hu snorted coldly, glaring at Ye Xing with a sour expression, and then went downstairs.

"Master Ye Xing!"

Lu Daxiong handed the quiver to Ye Xing, which contained twenty Azure Gold Arrows.

Ye Xing first tied the quiver to his back, then slung the iron-bow across his body, and went downstairs.

On the first floor of the weapon shop, Ye Xing bought a sharp short blade, which did not cost much, and he could afford it himself.

After leaving the weapon shop, Ye Xing bought some medicinal herbs at a pharmacy and then left Green Leaf Town, heading for the Green Cloud Mountains.

The Green Cloud Mountains were a vast and boundless mountain range, and the martial artists of Green Leaf Town had only explored a small part of it.

Green Leaf Town was in a mountainous area, and just a mile out of town, there were numerous mountain ridges. Ye Xing entered them, feeling like a drop of water in the ocean, insignificant and negligible.

The true Green Cloud Mountains were towering and majestic, far surpassing ordinary mountain ridges. Only in the towering mountains of the Green Cloud Mountains could fierce beasts be nurtured. The wild animals in ordinary mountain ridges were mere small creatures, not comparable to fierce beasts.

Ye Xing crossed one mountain ridge after another, walking for over ten miles, before finally reaching a towering mountain. Compared to the mountain ridges he had crossed, this one was at least twice as high.

This was the Green Cloud Mountains, or rather, a branch and the outer part of the Green Cloud Mountains. The true Green Cloud Mountains were so vast that no one knew their boundaries. It was said that deeper in the mountains, there were even taller mountains and super fierce beasts comparable to Martial Saints.

Ye Xing did not rush into the Green Cloud Mountains but stopped in a forest at the base of the mountains.

He needed to familiarize himself with the bow and arrows.

On Earth, he was an excellent archer, and his favorite activity was archery, almost hitting the target every time. Once, a national shooting champion challenged him and was soundly defeated.

Because of this, in the virtual game "Mystical World," he chose the Hunter class, wielding a longbow and traveling alone.

He had an extraordinary talent for archery, a talent that came from his soul. Even after changing bodies, the talent remained.

Moreover, this body was much stronger than his Earth body, with arm strength ten times greater, which was a crucial condition for an archer.

Vision was another important condition for an archer, and with the super brain's integration, Ye Xing's eyes could see far and scan, giving him an advantage over anyone else.

With arm strength and vision both ten times greater than on Earth, Ye Xing could better utilize his archery talent on the Starry Continent.

Ye Xing chose a tree as thick as a thigh as his target, marked it, and then walked a hundred meters away, took out the iron-bow, and drew an Azure Gold Arrow.

He drew the bow and shot the arrow!

Whoosh—

The arrow shot out with a whistling sound, flashing through the air.

In the blink of an eye, the Azure Gold Arrow was firmly embedded in the tree trunk.

The iron-bow, as a six-stone strong bow, was indeed extraordinary. On Earth, Ye Xing's arrows could hardly reach a hundred meters, let alone hit a target from that distance.

However, Ye Xing's target was not just the tree but the mark on the tree trunk. He immediately used his far-sighted ability to look at it.
