Chapter 89: Enhancement All Around

Honestly, he doesn’t know where he is.

Is he in a book? A simulated reality? A different plane of existence? He doesn’t know. But he would not bet his life on an uncertainty.

As long as he could get a bit stronger, even a small improvement could be the deciding choice between life and death

Aeryon does not like pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger. When he fights he fight with all of his might even if he is fighting a rabbit.

"Check Piercing Arrow" And then he smiles when the system informed him

’All it takes is five points" then he mutters to himself

"It is a bit pricy than the Mighty Strike" but after looking at the Piercing Arrow skill again he could understand why.

There is many skills in this this particular Archer skill.

"Rank it up" and the moment he said this, all kinds of information enter his mind

A wave of enlightenment washed over him.

He closed his eyes and focused on understanding the intricacies and hidden potential of this powerful archery technique.

In that moment, his perception sharpened, and his mind became attuned to the essence of the Piercing Arrow skill.

He realized that this skill was more than just a means to deal damage or penetrate through enemies and obstacles.

It embodied the essence of precision, accuracy, and strategic thinking.

Aeryon comprehended the true artistry behind each shot.

The charge of focused energy that infused his bow, the meticulous drawing back of the arrow to its maximum potential, and the release that sent the arrow hurtling through the air with unrivalled force and precision.

He understood that this skill demanded not only physical prowess but also mental discipline and concentration.

With this newfound understanding, Aeryon saw beyond the surface level of the Piercing Arrow skill.

He realized that it was a tool of control, allowing him to manipulate the battlefield and shape the flow of combat.

In his mind, he is now in a combat situation. And he was like an archery god, felling down enemies easily with bow in hand

He kills one person and the flow of combat changed. The course of attack changed, defense formation changed.

Like a stone that was thrown onto a calm lake that create a ripple that affect everything. And in his eyes, he could read this flow, like he could feel the wind blowing and its course.

And then he opens his eyes. He still stands on the same spot but he realizes that his hand is making the pose of drawing an arrow.

"It is really convenient to have the system" he mutters to himself.

What takes other years to master, only take him a few second. He then check the Piercing Arrow skill again and when he inquires the point needed to increase its rank to expert, the answer shock him. Ninety skill points is required for him if he wanted to raise the Piercing Arrow skill

"Maybe later when I increase dexterity attribute, the skill points needed would not be this much" he thought to himself.

And he already confirmed that last time that if the corresponding attribute is increased, the skill associated to that attribute would have its requirement to rank up lessened.

He then check the Piercing Arrow skill description. Nothing changes about its description.

"This must be some high-level skill" he thought to himself.

Then he look again at his status window. He still have ten skill point. He could also increase Survival Instinct skill which is not that bad.

He could also use it to increase Second Breath. And he look at the skill and decided to rank it up.

It only took him 4 skill points.

Aeryon then activate the skills and then he could feel the power of this ability intensify, granting him even greater resilience and endurance

This is the feeling he felt

Of course, right now, he could feel like he is burning his stamina in an accelerated rate. And he could feel that his life force is also being used.

But Aeryon close his mind and did not focus on that feeling. Instead, he tries to feel what is different between when this skill in Beginner rank and how it is different now when it is in Apprentice rank

After a while, Aeryon could guess what had changed.

In its upgraded form, the Apprentice rank of Second Breath allowed Aeryon to tap into a deeper well of recuperative energy.

When pushed to his limits, whether through strenuous physical activity or sustaining damage, this skill now facilitated a more substantial regeneration of both his health and stamina.

The recovery rate of Second Breath had noticeably increased

He is quite sure that in the heat of battle, this skill could become a lifeline, revitalizing him and granting him a renewed vigour to press forward.

Not only did the upgraded Second Breath aid him in sustaining prolonged engagements, but it also provided him with a significant advantage in situations where resources were limited.

Instead of relying solely on external healing items or resting to regain his strength, Aeryon could now depend on his own internal reserves to regenerate health and stamina, allowing him to conserve valuable resources for critical moments.

Furthermore, the Apprentice rank of Second Breath enhanced Aeryon physical performance beyond the battlefield.

When faced with challenging physical feats such as climbing treacherous terrains or executing powerful leaps, this skill enabled him to recover his stamina at an accelerated pace.

It pushed his body beyond its normal limits, allowing him to achieve extraordinary feats of athleticism and endurance.

The power of the upgraded Second Breath skill is intricately tied to Aeryon constitution attribute.

" That is what I felt being sapped" he thought to himself. After a while, he deactivated the skill.

"As for the six points, I should hoard it" he mutters to himself. Then he opens his status window and look at the changes.

The quest window popped out in front of him.

As Aeryon gazed at the quest window, a mix of determination and apprehension filled his heart.

"The challenges that lay ahead is not to be underestimated" he mutters to himself

Right now, he might be all gung-ho about it but he fears that once he encounter an obstacle he would be discouraged.

That is why he hypes himself up sometimes. Aeryon himself knows how hard it is to do the things he wanted to do

But in this era, you either eat or get eaten. Just because he became nice doesn’t mean that he would live safely.

With two thousand five hundred horse riders already under his command, Aeryon felt a surge of pride in his accomplishments.

They were a formidable force on the steppe, swift and deadly, capable of striking fear into the hearts of their enemies.

To complete this part of the quest, he needed only five hundred more skilled riders, and he knew he could find them among the various clans in the region.

"the problem is how soon could I get them" he mutters to himself. His eyes gaze again at the quest window, looking at the required tribes member.

As for the tribe members, he had gathered an impressive three thousand four hundred and seventy men who had sworn their loyalty to him and his cause.

They saw in him a leader worth following, one who could lead them to prosperity and strength.

While it was not the full five thousand men required, it was close to four thousand, and Aeryon was confident that with time and effort, more tribesmen would join his banner.

"Probably in a few more days, I could reach five thousand. By now, most lone clans probably would have heard my offer and my desire to recruit them."
