Chapter 1
The Great Yan Dynasty!
Qingyang Town!
There is still more than half a year until the clan competition.
The Lin family is peaceful, and everywhere you can see young boys and girls practicing martial arts.
The entire Lin family seems to be caught in a frenzy of cultivation, with the younger generation striving to train hard under the supervision of their elders in preparation for the clan competition.
They hope to stand out in the clan competition.
"Clap! Clap! Clap!"
In a cool and spacious courtyard, a series of sharp claps can be heard, clearly made by just one person.
Lin Yun looked at his hands, which were red from the impact of training, and sighed quietly.
"At this rate, I'll need at least three months to master the Tongbei Fist."
Lin Yun shook his head. He had been practicing the Tongbei Fist for ten days and had only produced three sounds of power, which could only be considered barely at the entry level.
If he continued to train, he could at most reach the major achievement of the Tongbei Fist before the clan competition.
In fact, Lin Yun had already mastered a fully developed fist technique, the Falling Stone Fist.
The Falling Stone Fist, like the Tongbei Fist, is also a first-grade martial art, but the explosive power of the Tongbei Fist is somewhat stronger. Lin Yun had thought that with the foundation of the Falling Stone Fist, he would be able to learn the Tongbei Fist faster, but to his surprise, the Tongbei Fist was more difficult.
"Sigh, the training is so slow. If only I had Lin Dong's cheat."
Lin Yun sighed. He was a transmigrator who had crossed over into the body of the orphan Lin Yun a month ago, becoming Lin Dong's cousin.
Familiar with the plot of "Wu Dong Qian Kun," Lin Yun knew he was just a minor character in the early stages.
He was unwilling to accept this fate.
Since he had been given a second chance at life, especially in a fantasy world he loved, how could he live an inconspicuous life?
At first, Lin Yun had excitedly gone to the small pond in the back mountain of the Lin family, seeking the ancestral stone, hoping to take Lin Dong's place.
Unfortunately, he arrived too late, and the ancestral stone had already been taken by Lin Dong.
With no other choice, Lin Yun could only rely on himself to cultivate.
However, although his aptitude was decent, cultivation required resources, especially in the Body Tempering realm.
In a small family like the Lin family, and being an orphan, it was too difficult to obtain spiritual herbs.
[Ding, system charging complete, binding host...]
[Task system binding successful, can now be used!]
"System... my golden finger has finally arrived."
Lin Yun was overjoyed and immediately began to check the system.
The task system, as the name suggests, provides rewards for completing tasks.
However, this task system seemed a bit lazy, requiring Lin Yun to set tasks himself.
He could assign tasks to himself, and as long as he met the corresponding conditions, the system would successfully generate and determine the task difficulty to provide corresponding rewards.
Completing tasks would yield rewards, while failing to complete them would not incur any penalties.
"Well, that opens up a lot of possibilities." Lin Yun suddenly had many ideas.
He could set everything he needed to do as tasks, such as the most tedious training.
Thinking of this, he acted.
"System, create a task: practice the Tongbei Fist once."
[Task: Practice the Tongbei Fist once. Reward: Tongbei Fist proficiency entry level +1.]
"Oh, here it comes."
Lin Yun was delighted and immediately practiced the Tongbei Fist.
[Task: Practice the Tongbei Fist once, reward Tongbei Fist proficiency entry level +1. Completed, would you like to claim it?]
"Completing a task is this simple."
"Claim!"
Suddenly, a surge of power flowed into Lin Yun's body and mind.
Lin Yun felt that his arm strength seemed to have increased, and his understanding of the Tongbei Fist techniques became clearer, as if he had gained a wealth of experience in practicing the Tongbei Fist.
However, Lin Yun could still only produce three sounds of power.
This meant he was still at the entry level.
For the Tongbei Fist, three sounds indicate entry level, six sounds indicate minor achievement, and nine sounds indicate major achievement.
"System, is there an attribute panel? I want to see!"
The next moment, a light screen appeared in Lin Yun's mind.
"Dog system, why can't you be proactive? You have to wait for me to say it."
Lin Yun grumbled as he checked the panel.
[Name]: Lin Yun
[Constitution]: 7 (Ordinary)
[Root Bone]: 9 (Ordinary)
[Mentality]: 15 (Outstanding)
[Comprehension]: 8 (Ordinary)
[Cultivation Level]: Body Tempering Fifth Level
[Martial Arts]: Falling Stone Fist (Major Achievement), Tongbei Fist (Entry Level +1)
[Proficiency]: Entry Level, Minor Achievement, Major Achievement, Perfection, Transcendence, Technique Approaching Dao
His mental attribute was nearly twice that of an ordinary person, likely related to the fusion of two souls.
Lin Yun noticed the "+1" after the Tongbei Fist entry level.
"How much do I need to increase it to reach minor achievement?"
"Then I'll continue to issue tasks."
Lin Yun continuously released the task of practicing the Tongbei Fist once, with a reward of proficiency entry +1.
After completing it ten times, he finally managed to unleash the Six Sounds Strength.
He checked the panel.
[Tongbei Fist (Entry +10) — (Minor Achievement)]
Practicing it ten times resulted in a minor achievement; Lin Yun had practiced for seven days, over a hundred times, just to barely reach entry level.
I must say, the system is still quite appealing!
He continued to establish tasks.
However, this time, when he released the task to practice once, the system did not respond.
"Could it be that after reaching minor achievement, practicing once no longer meets the requirements?"
Lin Yun pondered slightly and attempted to increase the number of times.
He increased it sequentially, and only when he reached the tenth time did he successfully establish the task.
[Task: Practice Tongbei Fist 10 times. Reward: Tongbei Fist proficiency minor achievement +1.]
"After reaching minor achievement, it actually requires practicing ten times to increase proficiency by 1, which is ten times the basic requirement from entry level."
"Proficiency +10 is needed to advance a stage, meaning it requires practicing 100 times to go from minor achievement to major achievement."
"Practicing once takes about three minutes, so 100 times is 300 minutes, or at most five hours."
"According to this pattern, advancing from major achievement to perfection should be 1000 times."
"1000 times is 3000 minutes, which is just 50 hours, less than three days."
Just this!
In his previous life, Lin Yun could grind a single-player game for a month without moving; now, grinding for three days could yield such great rewards—it's simply exhilarating.
After establishing the task, Lin Yun began to practice again. He felt as if he were on a high, not feeling tired at all. This effort, which could be rewarded, transformed the originally dull training into something full of motivation and anticipation.
[Task: Practice Tongbei Fist ten times, reward Tongbei Fist minor achievement proficiency +1. Completed, do you want to claim it?]
...
Lin Yun was immersed in practicing the Tongbei Fist, completing tasks and claiming rewards, and his proficiency in the Tongbei Fist was rapidly increasing.
Soon, the fist technique had formed muscle memory.
While practicing, he thought about how to leverage the system to enhance his strength.
The key point was to establish as many tasks as possible that could be completed.
Regarding various aspects of training, Lin Yun tried them one by one, and soon he successfully established quite a few tasks.
[Task: Practice Falling Stone Fist one hundred times. Reward: Proficiency major achievement +1.]
[Task: Practice Tongbei Fist to major achievement. Reward: One bottle of First Grade Qi Blood Pill.]
[Task: Practice Tongbei Fist to perfection. Reward: One bottle of Second Grade Blood Pill.]
[Task: Practice Tongbei Fist to the level of divine mastery. Reward: Fist Technique Talent (Beginner).]
[Task: Break through the Sixth Layer of Body Refinement Realm. Reward: Physique +1, Root Bone +1.]
