Qian Shan Domain, Qing Feng Sect, Zhu Gong Village.
Amidst the continuous bamboo sea, a disheveled youth was running and leaping rapidly.
The youth held a wooden bow in his hand, with over twenty feathered arrows on his back, and a dagger made of beast teeth tucked at his waist.
Boom!
As the youth ran past, a wild boar the size of a calf charged out in pursuit.
Moments later, the youth stopped running.
He raised the wooden bow in his hand, then quickly nocked and shot an arrow.
Swish swish!
Although the youth's feathered arrow hit the wild boar, the thick hide of the beast did not cause it to fall.
Despite the wild boar's ferocity, the youth did not panic.
He retreated step by step, his gaze calm.
When the wild boar was ten meters away, the youth suddenly shot an arrow to his right.
This arrow directly severed a rope, and then a large stone fell from the sky.
As the large stone descended, a net enveloped the wild boar.
Although the stone did not lift the wild boar into the air, it had already restricted its movement.
A triumphant smile spread across the youth's lips as he nocked and shot another arrow.
This arrow directly pierced the wild boar's eye.
A series of hysterical screams echoed through the bamboo forest, and the wild boar quickly lost its ability to struggle.
In the distance, within the bamboo forest, Qin Hanchu watched the youth's every move with interest.
Although the youth was only fourteen or fifteen years old, his combat ability and composure were considerable.
Qin Hanchu had been in this world for two days. In these two days, his divine sense had already explored the entire world.
This world still lacked trap resources, and the strongest martial artist here was only at the Xuan Emperor realm.
Zhu Gong Village was located in a remote area, with the strongest martial artist in the village only at the peak of the Grandmaster realm.
Even the Sect Master of Qing Feng Sect, who governed this region, was only at the Spirit God realm.
Despite his youth, the young man had already reached the eighth rank.
His father had died during a hunt, and his mother suffered from a stubborn illness.
To support his family, he had started hunting outside the village at the age of twelve.
Seeing the wild boar fall, the youth drew his beast-tooth dagger.
Approaching the wild boar, he suddenly plunged the beast-tooth dagger into its major artery.
The wild boar, which had seemed still, suddenly thrashed violently!
Having prior experience, the youth skillfully took a step back.
Roar…
At that moment, a wolf's howl reverberated through the bamboo forest.
Hearing the wolf's howl, the youth's expression drastically changed.
He skillfully untangled the rope net, then hoisted the wild boar onto his shoulder and hurried towards the village.
After only a few steps, the youth stopped, his face grave.
Six fierce grey wolves appeared around him.
"Damn it!" The youth dropped the wild boar and gripped his wooden bow.
Facing the approaching grey wolves, the youth retreated slightly.
At that moment, the six grey wolves suddenly launched an attack on the youth.
The youth leaped onto a large rock, nocked an arrow, and shot at the closest grey wolf.
Grey wolves were very agile beasts. Despite the youth's strong archery, it was difficult to hit the target.
Seeing that he could not wound the grey wolves, the youth had no choice but to abandon the wild boar.
He climbed upwards along a bamboo stalk.
Whine whine…
The six grey wolves surrounded the base of the bamboo, baring their teeth at the youth.
"You wait, I'll get rid of you all sooner or later." The youth was furious that the wild boar he had worked so hard to obtain was now benefiting these creatures.
At that moment, Qin Hanchu arrived nearby.
Roar!
Sensing Qin Hanchu's approach, the six grey wolves surged towards him together.
"Hey, run!" the youth shouted anxiously at Qin Hanchu.
Qin Hanchu seemed not to hear, continuing his slow walk.
The youth's mind was in a fierce struggle. This was a good opportunity.
With Qin Hanchu attracting the grey wolves, he could grab the wild boar and escape.
In just a few seconds, the youth made his decision.
He suddenly leaped down and then nocked his bow, shooting at the grey wolves.
"Run fast!" The youth shouted at Qin Hanchu while attacking the wolves.
Qin Hanchu remained unfazed, continuing to walk towards him.
"Is he deaf?" The youth's expression grew anxious.
Whoosh…
Another arrow, and this one finally hit one of the grey wolves.
But at that moment, the remaining five grey wolves had already lunged at Qin Hanchu.
Qin Hanchu acted as if he did not see these wolves, still strolling leisurely.
Under the youth's disbelieving gaze, the five grey wolves were suddenly sent flying by an invisible force.
The five ferocious grey wolves were thus killed!
"Grandmaster!" The youth's eyes were filled with shock and envy.
Qin Hanchu walked up to the youth and asked with a smile, "I thought you would grab the wild boar and run."
"I did consider it," the youth admitted frankly.
"Come find me at the waterfall to the east tomorrow morning, and don't mention me to anyone." After saying this, Qin Hanchu suddenly disappeared from his spot.
The youth was startled by Qin Hanchu's sudden disappearance. If not for the corpses of the five grey wolves, he would have thought he was hallucinating.
How could a person vanish into thin air?
Even a Grandmaster wouldn't have such abilities!
Qin Hanchu found the youth promising and thus wanted to offer him some guidance during his rest.
This could also be considered a way to pass the time.
With a heart full of shock, the youth shouldered the wild boar and walked towards the village.
…
The next morning, Qin Hanchu sat leisurely by a pool, fishing.
Just then, the previous youth came running from a distance.
Seeing Qin Hanchu, the youth bowed respectfully, "Greetings, senior!"
"I'm hungry, go roast me a pheasant," Qin Hanchu said nonchalantly.
The youth paused for a moment, then nodded, "Yes."
Within half an hour, the youth returned carrying a pheasant and a wild rabbit.
He skillfully prepared the pheasant and rabbit, then started a fire to roast them.
Seeing the youth brush honey onto the pheasant and rabbit, Qin Hanchu's lips curved into a smile.
"Senior, will you eat the pheasant or the rabbit first?" The youth approached with the roasted pheasant and rabbit.
Qin Hanchu made a casual gesture, and the pheasant and rabbit in the youth's hands flew directly into Qin Hanchu's hands.
"Do you know why I asked you to come here?" Qin Hanchu, disregarding his appearance, took a bite of the pheasant's leg.
The youth suddenly knelt down and prostrated himself before Qin Hanchu, "Disciple Zhu Xiao greets Master."
"Get up. Consider this pheasant and rabbit your apprenticeship gift," Qin Hanchu said.
Although the youth did not know who Qin Hanchu was, he knew that Qin Hanchu was an exceptionally powerful martial artist.
If he could receive Qin Hanchu's guidance, his martial path would undoubtedly become stronger.
"Your mother only has three months left to live. Do you want to save her?" Qin Hanchu asked casually, biting into a piece of roasted rabbit.
