Morning!
On the thatched hut.
Zhang Chen sat cross-legged in meditation.
His eyes looked towards the sky, gazing at the dawn.
The rising sun slowly rose from below the horizon.
In the moment of the balance of yin and yang, the meeting of light and darkness.
A faint purple energy came from the east, invisible to the naked eye.
“It's coming!”
Zhang Chen's eyes shot open, catching this fleeting sensation, and he met the purple energy from the east with his eyes.
A wisp of imperceptible purple energy entered his eyes.
He felt a coolness in his eyes.
If someone were to stare closely, they would find that his eyes were covered with a very faint purple energy, and it disappeared in a flash.
At the same time, Zhang Chen felt that his vision had improved.
In short, he could see farther, clearer, and wider!
Purple Extreme Demon Eyes.
From the Douluo world, a supernatural eye technique possessed by Tang San, who also transmigrated.
It was one of the techniques from the Profound Heaven Record that Zhang Chen obtained five days ago from Tang San in the All-Worlds Trading Space.
That's right.
Zhang Chen transmigrated.
And what's more.
He had a golden finger.
A month ago.
He transmigrated to this world.
Five days ago, the All-Worlds Trading Space opened.
With his sharp tongue, and his thorough knowledge of the Douluo world's plot.
He used the identity of the All-Worlds Trading Space owner to cleverly obtain the complete Profound Heaven Record from Tang San.
Surprisingly.
Only five days had passed, and the Purple Extreme Demon Eyes had already reached its first stage, "Survey".
His eyesight and vision were significantly improved compared to before.
Now, he could see the patterns on a mosquito's wings from a hundred meters away.
Even in the darkness of night, he could see as if it were day.
However, the internal skill, Profound Heaven Skill, was making very little progress.
How little?
Well!
Five days of hard cultivation.
Not a single bit.
This internal skill, hadn't progressed at all.
It was indeed frustrating.
The skill for practice, Profound Jade Hand, naturally had no progress either.
But his hidden weapon techniques had progressed rapidly after five days of hard training.
The capture technique, Crane Capture Dragon, had also reached the 入门 (entry) level.
The light skill, Ghost Shadow Illusionary Steps.
Also showed some progress.
This was probably because his body had been strengthened and his physical fitness had improved greatly during this month.
After studying Ghost Shadow Illusionary Steps.
Walking on walls, stepping on water, leaping over grass.
Although it was far from the miraculous abilities of Ghost Shadow Illusionary Steps.
But in this current world, his skills could already be considered extraordinary.
He was definitely a rare talent.
Even if he went to Mount Changsheng, he would be a minor leader at the least.
As for why Mount Changsheng?
Well!
Just dozens of miles away from this village.
There was a gang of bandits gathering on Mount Changsheng.
They called themselves the "Dismounting Force".
They had tens of thousands of people and horses.
The leader of Mount Changsheng, Chen Yulou, was known as the "Dismounting Leader", and was one of the extraordinary individuals of that time…
That's right!
This is the Tomb Raiders world.
And it's a crossover!
Because the famous Old Nine Gates exist not far away in Changsha City.
And after a month of inquiries.
And what he had seen and heard.
Zhang Chen knew that this crossover Tomb Raiders world was extremely dangerous.
The common people were impoverished and destitute, and countless died of starvation.
They would also be robbed of their possessions by bandits and thieves.
They would draw their swords without hesitation and kill. Those who died, died.
The fate of women with some beauty was even more tragic.
In this world, how could one survive without improving their martial skills?
Especially since he was strong and vigorous, and his appetite was large, he could eat half a cow at a meal…
Alright.
Even if there wasn't half a cow.
He could still finish three large porcelain bowls of noodles.
After all, his consumption was not small.
“But even if I can't trade in the future, just relying on this complete Profound Heaven Record, I can still be famous throughout this crossover world, and enjoy wealth and glory!”
Zhang Chen said to himself.
This Profound Heaven Record, although its description in the book is rather mediocre.
But it depends on who you compare it to.
The extraordinary individuals in the crossover Tomb Raiders world, naturally cannot compare to this.
Although there are still Snake Gods, Ancient Gods…
But I can avoid provoking them, right?
“It's too early to think about those things, I should still figure out why this Profound Heaven Skill hasn't made any progress!”
Zhang Chen furrowed his brow.
This Profound Heaven Skill was the foundation.
With internal skill.
Profound Jade Hand!
Crane Capture Dragon!
Ghost Shadow Illusionary Steps, and so on.
They could truly display their full power.
Otherwise, it would be a discount.
Unfortunately.
He couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought.
“Forget it, I'll ask Tang San next time!”
Zhang Chen thought to himself.
The All-Worlds Trading Space opened once every seven days.
Counting the days, it would only be two days.
However…
He had to think about how to persuade him.
He couldn't reveal his identity.
…
“I wonder what kind of job Uncle Li got tonight, the reward is twenty silver yuan!”
Zhang Chen couldn't help but be curious.
Silver yuan, also known as "big ocean", was the main currency widely used in this world.
Don't think it was just twenty silver yuan.
That was enough for him and Uncle Li to eat for half a month.
If they were careful with their spending, it would even be enough for a month.
“Since I have time, I'll practice first!”
Zhang Chen was very clear about his plans.
Since there was this much money.
The task might be difficult.
He needed to be fully prepared before going.
His martial skills were the foundation of his survival.
He leaped down from the roof.
He first loosened up his muscles and bones.
Then he picked up a piece of charcoal and drew a dot on the wooden stake of the fence.
Then he took out ten embroidery needles from his pocket.
His eyes narrowed, and his wrist shook slightly. The ten embroidery needles flew through the air.
Some went forward, some went down, some went to the right.
The trajectories of the ten needles were different.
The next moment, a faint "duoduo" sound was heard.
The needles, which were flying in different directions, accurately struck the black dot.
Rain of Flowers.
One of the throwing techniques in Hundred Solutions to Hidden Weapons.
Now, he could throw ten hidden weapons at the same time, and hit a single target from different directions.
He then took out a nail from his pocket.
The crooked nail was pulled from a piece of wood and straightened with a stone hammer.
It was about an inch long, and slightly lighter.
But…
He was poor.
In his current penniless state.
The embroidery needles were bought from the town by Uncle Li.
He could only buy ten.
As for nails, he didn't even think about it.
He had been collecting them for a month, and only had a dozen or so.
He sighed in his heart.
He calmed his mind.
His wrists hung naturally.
Suddenly, he flicked his wrist, extremely fast.
A "swoosh" sound was heard.
Followed by a dull "thud".
The nail flew in a straight line and instantly nailed the black dot, penetrating the wall by an inch.
This was "Throwing Arrow", a throwing technique in Hundred Solutions to Hidden Weapons.
The key point was speed.
Two points, a straight line, the shortest distance.
Straight to the point, speed is the only solution.
He used the force of his waist.
His legs suddenly exerted force.
Zhang Chen jumped a meter high, directly leaping to the position by the wall.
He landed with a burst of force, jumping into the air again.
He stepped on the wall with one foot, using the power of Ghost Shadow Illusionary Steps, and hopped up the wall, "蹭蹭蹭" (a sound of quick movement).
He hooked one hand on the top of the wall, and leaped another meter.
While leaping, he didn't look back.
His right hand instantly swept across his waist, flicking it out.
“Bang!”
A dull thud, and the second nail was nailed on the black dot.
