Shou------
As the bowstring trembled, the arrow hit a golden-spotted snake ten meters away from him.
Si!
The golden-spotted snake jumped out and spat out its venom from the opened mouth in a fearsome manner.
However, Lu Zhou's arrow skills were perfect and directly hit its vitalities.
The golden-spotted snake thrashed slightly but soon died.
" Golden Black Snake, poisonous wild beasts that can threaten even third rankers."
Lu Zhou slightly let out a breath and wiped his sweat.
If he was a bit late and continue to create an item from the book, he would die if not for his sense has increased. The golden black snake had a high chance of killing him as it was extremely fast and poisonous.
However, Lu Zhou had also gained a lot.
Don't take things for granted!
He should not let his guard down!
Taking this as his first lesson, he arrived at the place where the snake dies.
The golden black snake's teeth and liver parts were expensive.
After killing the golden black snake, Lu Zhou used his rough hand to dissects it and put the necessary material inside his inventory. As he doesn't know when his food could last him, he needs to supplement the rest from nature.
" Creates 4 Philosopher's Stones "
Without anything to interrupt him, Lu Zhou firmly asked the system.
As he finishes his instructions, the Low-Level Creation Book vanished from his hand and was replaced by 4 glowing red stones the size of an egg.
" Consume it for the progress of the Book of Enlightenment."
Ding!
[Book of Enlightenment progress, 100%]
Ding!
[Remarks: Congratulations. For the host for completed the binding of the system. Please choose one of the rewards below]
Before Lu Zhou's astonishment, another prompt appeared, and this time it would reward him. His expectation was further intensified from the previous events, he scrolls down.
So generous?
Furrowed his brows, Lu Zhou concluded that one of the rewards was from killing the golden black snake, but after the bind was finished, he got two options to choose from instead of the two rewards he was supposed to get.
[Choice 1: New Attributes Panels fully equipped]
[Choice 2: Tier 1 Spell, All Appraisal Magic, this spell would tell its caster view's description]
Two glowing words on the panels brought Lu Zhou excitement.
Then, with no further thoughts, he chose the first option.
Although the second option was important, he needs to survive before the auxiliary abilities stacked on him.
Upon completion of the two books, Lu Zhou calls his attributes panels.

The changes in the system, make the 13 years old Lu Zhou smiling from ear to ear.
" Haha… I'm indeed had a tremendous amount of spiritual energy"
Previously, his conclusion was to use the Book of Enlightenment to further solidifying his theory of limitless.
Upon having his thoughts were right this time, Lu Zhou ignore the missing of his skills and the new techniques and cast his level one Fire Fist.
Whoosh----
His sleeve was burned, and the spell make his entire right arm glowing with transparent flame. As he can see his veins inside his skin, the unique heat of the fire, warm his body's temperature.
So convenient.
Shou----
Suddenly, Lu Zhou heard a screech in mid-air.
As he unconsciously uses the newly acquired meditation technique, Lu Zhou creates an energy pathway in his eyes. His eyesight was elevated, it even beat the Throwing skill in terms of proficiency.
A steel-beak eagle, with a wingspan of one meter, easily killed a wolf that was of the second rank.
Lu Zhou had a solemn face. The steel beak eagle was called Metal Pecking Eagle and was extremely famous in the Sacred Heart Forest. Its strength exceeded that of normal second rankers and flew freely in the air. It almost had no natural enemies.
" It feather and defense was strong enough to neglect the damage done by 3rd rankers. It is almost a savage beast."
Lu Zhou thought as he used his overwhelming spiritual energy, to increase his vision.
As his mental strength and meditation technique become the primer, and his body state as a catalyst, increases his chance to control the smallest amount of it to not damage his eyes.
The target was locked.
This time, he put down his bow and raise his arm.
Hoo...
Making a stance, he channels all the energy that his body could hold to his right hand.
Wooosh-----
A line of smoke was left behind as the fire in fist shape pierced through the air, heading towards the Metal Pecker Eagle that was in midair. This spell contained the spiritual energy that his body could hold on to and followed the route set by his eyes.
" Boom!....
An echo rang through the forest. The eagle without any sounds had its fragment of body scattered throughout the forest.
Roar!---
Wild beasts were rampaging around after the conclusion of the spells.
Shou----
Soon, another fist in glowing red fire was shot out. This time the target was the horned tiger 100 meters before the tree.
As watching the fire in horror, its head exploded.
That day was a catastrophic event for the living creature inside the woods.....
For the next three days, Lu Zhou's body could be seen traveling around inside the Sacred Heart Forest.
Every time Lu Zhou pulled his bow, a scream of pain would soon follow.
" Smiling Deer, worth three hundred silver...."
" Steel Fanged Raikan, worth ten gold coins!...."
" Three Poison Snake. Can be used to make body strengthen panacea, worth two hundred silver coins...."
To kill as many beasts as possible, Lu Zhou first uses the Fire Fist for the system's reward and bow for humans' currency.
Through these efforts, Fire Fists had been trained to its level cap.
Furthermore, with the help of the novice meditation techniques, his body becoming stronger each passing time.
-----
For the last three days, he had gained a lot. He had killed another three Steel Eagle with his bow, as well as twenty to thirty other different beasts.
Above the tree, Lu Zhou was munching on the meats of the horned tiger that almost become savage beasts.

" The beasts I now have are, in total, worth around twenty to thirty thousand silvers."
Lu Zhou had a satisfied expression on his face as he organized his five backpacks.
The reward from the system was so generous, that he get another Low-Level Creation Book.
As his belonging increases, his storage follows.
Although each beast he killed would not give a perfect chance to be rewarded, if the wild beasts were stronger than him, he raise that percentage.
The beast carcass was inside the back, as the inventory was full of his important things.
Roar————
At this moment, a powerful roar came from the north side of the Sacred Heart Forest. This roar made Mu Zhou ear's burst with pain.
" What kind of beast is this? It's so powerful."
Lu Zhou channeled his energy to his eyes and saw that, five miles away, there was a ten-meter-long Red Horned Tiger.
The Red Horned Tiger was bigger than normal tigers and the horned tiger he killed and gave off a devastating aura. Its roar caused all the animals within a ten-kilometer radius to tremble with fear.
Seven youths, who had cultivations between the second and third rank of the Martial Path, were running away in fear.
" Everyone! Run in different directions!"
The leader of the group was a youth who had a scar on his face. He seemed to be sixteen years of age and had reached the peak of the third rank. He held a long sword that could easily cut a tree in half in other to stall the tiger.
Boom!
The tiger waved his paws and the tree shattered.
" Savage Beasts?"
Lu Zhou's thoughts.
Once a wild beast entered the ranks of a deadly beast, only martial artists of the fourth rank or higher could fight them.
" Yun Fei! Watch out!" Some of the youths yelled.
The Red Horned Tiger King was heading straight towards the scarface youth, who had the strongest strength.
" Ohh, the disciples from Yun family, one of the top three families of Snowy Leaf City"
Lu Zhou then saw the symbols on their clothes which confirmed his guess.
Boom——
Everywhere the Red Horned Tiger passed, destruction soon followed, as if nothing could withstand its might.
Normal Martial Apprentice would probably have died due to fear. However the youth's surname Yun was extremely strong. He had learned a throwing skill, as well as a footwork skill and they, were both upper ranks martial arts.
Munch...Munch.
Above the tree, Lu Zhou was biting the meat of the horned tiger.
" Quickly! Save Yun Fei!"
Two other disciples of the Yun family took out their bows and attacked the Red Horned Tiger.
However, all their attacks did was stall and disperse the tiger's concentration.
The tiger's defense was stronger than the Metal Pecker by five or six times, so all the attacks that came from cultivators beneath the fourth rank only felt like a tickle.
Swoosh——
Lu Zhou immediately jumps from one tree to another tree. And when he was miles away from the incident, he sat down and continues to eat his meal.
Changeling his SE using the Origin of the Internal Energy he copied from the Martial Arts Library, his views almost like watching the event in front of him.
" Cracking Wind Sword!"
Yun Fei eyes's flashed as he used his long sword to stab towards the forehead of the tiger.
Good skills!
Lu Zhou saw the entire process of the sword, its power could instantly kill two normal cultivators of the third rank.
He also felt the faint green aura inside of Yun Fei's body. This was the sign that Inner Strength would soon be formed.
The sword was able to cut half an inch into the Red Horned Tiger's side head, but the force of it made Yun Fei vomit blood.
That sword's strength came close to the damage dealt by a fourth ranker. It was even able to hurt a savage beast!
Roar——
The Red Horned Tiger howled and then move towards Yun Fei at an even greater speed.
Yun Fei had reached the peak of the third rank and by using his upper-rank martial art skill, he dodged the attack.
However, his sword attack also uses up a lot of energy, almost falling victim to the tiger's counterattack.
" Cracking Wind Sword!"
Covered with blood, Yun Fei once again used the same move and left another bloody mark on the tiger's head.
His body was once again sent flying.
Roar!
The Red Horned Tiger opened its jaws and leaped towards Yun Fei. The latter was exhausted and could not dodge.
" Yun Fei!"
The other disciples screamed, but just at this moment.
Sou———
Suddenly, an arrow whipped through the air, straight through the branches and leaves, hitting the tiger.
Boom__
After the arrowhead touched the fur of the tiger, an explosion was echoed and a chunk of the meat fall from the jaw side of the Red Horned Tiger.
Roar!!__
A bloodcurdling scream came out from the tiger's mouth.
At that moment, every living thing trembled.
The Yun disciples looked on in a daze as the meat at the left side of the tiger was charred in black, and they also could see the sharp teeth inside the mouth.
Because the tiger turned around to find the culprit, Yun Fei was able to escape.
However, as it surveyed its surrounding, there was no sign of the perpetrator.
As the tiger was trying to find the culprit, the Yun family disciples started to run.
Hoo...
Ten miles away, Lu Zhou frowned his brow. The Ordinary Bomb can't kill the tiger in one hit, upon having this thought, Lu Zhou tied another pebble size Ordinary Bomb to the arrow and knocked it on the string.
Since the tiger could not find itaa target, it started to attack in a more frenzied manner.
" Ahhh...."
There was a scream as one of the youths of the second rank was ripped into shreds.
Pulling the string to the limit of the bow could handle, Lu Zhou released the arrow.
Sou-----
The arrow came flying through the air, piercing the tiger's left eye.
Boom——
This time, one of the eyes of the tiger was crushed and half of its face chared in black as his fur was colored in black.
" Cracking Wind Sword"
Using the short time gap, Yun Fei quickly powered another sword attack and hit the same spot as before.
Eventually, the tiger's attack rate slowed down.
As it know its doom, the tiger turned and ran towards the deep sections of the Sacred Heart Forest.
" Follow!"
The Yun disciples bit their teeth and vowed to kill the tiger to avenge their peers.
Although the tiger was severely injured, almost missing its head, its speed was not something that cultivators of the second rank and third rank could catch up to.
Only Yun Fei was barely able to catch up, but as he was exhausted he did not have much spare energy.
Meanwhile, Lu Zhou put his rosewood bow inside his inventory and the five backpacks inside the tree's trunk and slowly followed the youths and the dying tiger.
