On his status, there was now an additional feature that was labelled as "Skills"
This referred to the Combat Skills and Techniques that he had learnt.
The 0/100 display was probably his proficiency of the skill.
Naturally, it was not a one look to comprehend System.
He still needed to put in the hard work to practice and get stronger.
There is no fun in just instantly learning a skill in the first place.
It is the process of learning that counts.
Within his brain, there was a wave of extra information that filled it. It was all regarding the Shadow Sword Skill, its various stances and the specific set of actions he needed to carry out.
At least this made his comprehension a bit easier.
He scrolled around the Combat Skill Pavilion, and noticed that there were all around Yellow Grade 3 to 4, with only some barely reaching 5.
Looks like the benefits he had dug out from the old man was still the best.
He gave up on the idea of learning the combat skills that they had provided.
Since already had a Yellow Grade 7 Skill, what was the use of wasting his time and learning other skills that are weaker in strength for?
After glancing around and finding the one skill he had visited the Pavilion for, the Bone Muscle Alternation skill, he left immediately.
The Bone Muscle Alternation skill was not a combat skill. It was a skill purely meant for disguise, by changing the features of the muscle during a certain period of time so that you don't get recognized.
As a person who will definitely incur trouble outside with his current identity, to make sure that nobody will recognize him, he definitely had to learn a disguise skill, so that he could walk out of the Sect peacefully.

When he had reached 50 proficiency in this skill, Long Chen stopped as he realized that he was already quite accomplished with the skill, and could successfully disguise himself properly.
Then, he left the Sect, his handsome and suave features changing into an average middle-aged man that won't gain much attention.
Afterwards, he made his way towards the Monster Hunting Association.
The Monster Hunting Association was an organization set up precisely for hunting monsters.
Cultivators were able to set up an identity as a Hunter and receive additional benefits when hunting monsters and selling their corpses to the Association. As for the Hunting Association, they are able to get a free pair of hands to help them hunt down the monsters, where they can sell the valuable portions of the monster corpses at a higher price, earning them a portion of the profits.
This was a win-win situation for both of them.
The Monster Hunting Association has developed and expanded in fame over time, with an increasing number of powerful cultivators registering as Hunters. Now, the current Association is now widely recognized as one of the most powerful forces within Wind Cloud City.
When Long Chen had went in, the Monster Hunting Association was already packed with numerous people, who radiated ferocious and powerful auras. There was even a faint scent of Monster blood in the air.
These were people who had honed themselves daily by killing, killing and killing. It was natural for their temperament and disposition to be more much violent and oppressive than normal people.
He was inconspicuous among the crowd, his appearance and current behavior not drawing much attention.
There were many such people like him who longed to join as a Hunter every day.
When it was reached his turn to sign up, the counter lady glanced at Long Chen and calmly asked,
"Name, age, and cultivation level?"
He stared at her unblinkingly, casually making up a lie.
"Chen Long, 30, 3rd Qi Refinement Realm."
He realised his cultivation for her to see while saying so.
The counter lady looked at him with a faint of interest within her eyes.
A 30 year old at the Qi Refinement Realm was considered higher than average, even amongst their Association.
Not everyone was like the geniuses from the Sects, who easily break through to Qi Refinement Realm before 20.
Age 35 was the average in Wind Cloud City for the Qi Refinement Realm.
"As a 3rd Qi Refinement Realm, you are entitled to a Silver Hunter badge." The lady passed him a silvery token that was embedded with the words 'Silver Hunter'.
"We buy 10 Grade 1 Monsters at the price of 1 Low Tier Crystals, Grade 2 Monsters at the price of 1 Low-Tier Crystal and Grade 3 Monsters at the price of 5 Low-Tier Crystals. Additionally, you will also be able to receive a 10% discount of all items at stores associated with our Hunting Association. Also, take note that if you are not able to sell of 5 Grade 2 Monsters within a week, we will automatically cancel off your Hunter identity."
Long Chen nodded at this. The Hunting Association definitely won't hand out free benefits to people. There was bound to be some condition that he had needed to meet.
Glancing down at the silver token, Long Chen asked, "What are the ranks above Silver?"
"If you are able to kill Grade 3 Monsters, then you will be promoted to a Gold Hunter. If you manage to kill Grade 4 Monsters, then you will be promoted to a Platinum Hunter. Gold Hunter enjoys a 25% discount, while a Platinum Hunter enjoys a 50% discount, with other extra benefits." The lady patiently explaining.
Long Chen's eyes brightened with passion. Grade 3 and Grade 4 Monsters!
With his current meagre strength, he was far from able to deal with them,
If he tried, he would definitely be slapped to death with just one palm.
But with the help of the system, as well as his talent he had acquired, he was sure it won't take too long for him to reach such a stage.
Long Chen tightened his fists in determination, then said a word of thanks to the lady before he left towards the Wailing Ghost Hill.
