Chapter 22: Chapter 20: Farewell to Langlang Village

Translator: 549690339

The next day, Han Ye went to the government office to hand over his servitude document, formally declaring that he had left his slave status and was now a civilian of Great Zhou.

Since then, his life once again resumed the monotonously predictable routine.

The only difference from before was the addition of a fox.

The entrance examination to the Dragon Sparrow Sect was only two and a half months away.

As such, Han Ye initiated a frenzy to collect attributes.

Every day, he would stroll around the village to see where he could pick up attributes.

But his harvest was limited.

Even Widow Liu, the only reliable source of attributes, had moved to the county.

His plan to promote the ‘Wei Wu Legacy’ was declared a failure.

The only attribute he gained recently was from a private school in the County of Skyfire, which he obtained when he delivered goods to the county.

‘Slightly Versed in Literature and Ink (white): You have a superior comprehension, making occurrences hard to forget.’

The private school teacher was lecturing on fundamental principles in books, and a student who seemed to have a realization dropped a ball of white light from his body.

Han Ye just happened to pick it up.

Beyond this, the only stable source of extraction was from Wang Da Niu.

‘Dragon-Tiger Physique’ could see a stable increase of a few points every day.

‘Unparalleled Fist Intent’ was incredibly difficult to extract because Liu Lingqi didn’t want to practice fists with him at all.

And attempting to use other martial artists’ ‘Exquisite Fist Intent’ to fortify the skill was also exceedingly challenging.

Due to the attribute upgrade, the lower-level attribute needs five times more to add a point to the higher-level attribute.

For instance, ‘Strong as an Ox’ would need five points to add one point to ‘Dragon-Tiger Physique’.

They were not on the same scale.

In the past two months, Han Ye had been challenging the martial artists of the manor to spar every day, which allowed him to increase a considerable amount of attributes.

But things changed now.

Those guys had become scared.

In Liu Manor, no one dared to practice fists with Han Ye, including Liu Lingqi.

The increasing number of rejections left Han Ye helpless.

‘Exquisite Fist Intent (126/500): Your speed of practising fist techniques is beyond normal, resulting in an excellent mastery and understanding of the intent.’

This attribute remained unmoved, stuck around a hundred.

Besides, ‘Dragon-Tiger Physique’ the growth of the other attributes had stalled.

The most outrageous of all was the ‘Great Wealth and High Rank’ attribute dropped from Liu Manor’s master.

It barely dropped a few points in a month.

It took him almost half a month to collect just ten points.

After months of observation,

Han Ye summed up some experiences on attribute collection. The tether to the source of this data rests in n0v3lb!n★

His conclusions are as follows.

Firstly, the more powerful a person is, the more powerful the attributes they drop. The initial level is often very high, usually it’s their most prominent aspect, whether it is ability or talent. This is the most critical. Secondly, if you want to keep upgrading an attribute, it depends on what it is. If it’s ‘Great Wealth and High Rank’ which rarely triggers and has a low probability of dropping, you better abandon the idea. If it’s ‘Strong as an Ox’, it will easily drop because it triggers frequently.

“The changes are too drastic.”

Han Ye couldn’t help but sigh. He had felt all the changes within his body. Hearing, sight, and other five senses and sixth sense had all become exceedingly sharp.

Under the rising sun, when the sky was not yet fully lit, he could clearly see the patterns on the leaves of a distant willow tree.

“As Liu Lingqi said, if one’s internal Qi is like a cup of water – small and stagnant – it’s considered the first level of Qi Cultivation.”

Han Ye mobilized the little True Qi he had. The Qi that was originally depleted was doused with gasoline, like it was ignited with a match, and flowed along his meridians to his arms.

“Bang!”

A huge sound, carrying a residual image that is invisible to the naked eye, struck the air.

A hit into the void compressed all the surrounding air, exploding violently.

“Boom!”

In the blink of an eye, a deep fist mark was left on a distant willow tree, splitting the tree trunk.

“Creak!”

In a short while, the willow tree fell to the ground.

Han Ye was secretly amazed at this sight.

“Amazing, too strong!”

This must be Qi Force.

Han Ye felt the rushing wind against his ears, staring at his fist in disbelief.

The power was much greater compared to relying solely on human strength!

At this moment, Wang Da Niu walked out of the arched door in a daze and sat down on a stone chair by the artificial mountain.

Seeing the expression on his face, Han Ye asked, puzzled:

“Da Niu, what’s wrong?”

In his memory, Da Niu was always an optimistic, positive person.

He rarely looked like he did today.

Wang Da Niu sighed deeply, speaking in the local dialect he always used, saying:

“Today, I agreed with Hongliu to watch the sunrise together, and she said yes.”

“Isn’t that good then.”

Han Ye laughed.

Wang Da Niu said dispiritedly, “I couldn’t control my feelings for a moment and told Hongliu that I liked her, but she rejected me.”

Han Ye asked with confusion, “She rejected you? Why? You are in such a good condition. You are now a guard of Liu Manor, your monthly salary is also higher than that of those rich families, right?”

Wang Da Niu spoke in a trembling voice with a tone Han Ye had never heard before: “She said she and I are not from the same world.”

“This...”

Hearing this, Han Ye fell silent for a moment.

“Brother Han, do you think I should go out and take a chance, is she looking down on me?”

Suddenly Wang Da Niu looked at Han Ye and said with distress.

“I want to leave Langlang Village.”

Hearing this, Han Ye smiled reassuringly.

“Da Niu, when a person has ideals, they often need to leave their hometown.”

“Your idea is not wrong, it’s time to leave Langlang Village.”
