I Use My Secondary Job To Add Talents

Chapter 11: Top Ten

Early the next morning, before Song Fulu could inquire, he received a shocking piece of news.

Wu Family Village was gone!

Although he had heard before that Wu Family Village was plagued by the female ghost Wu Cuiping, who had killed many villagers, Song Fulu never imagined that in just a few months, a village that had existed for over a hundred years would disappear.

Although the population of Wu Family Village was not as large as Stone Bull Village, it still had one or two hundred people. The village chief and several village elders were all Martial Artists at the Exterior Forging Fourth Layer. However, they never expected that a lower-level ghost could destroy Wu Family Village.

Most of the villagers were harmed by the female ghost Wu Cuiping, while a small number of villagers escaped to other places. Some of them fled to the homes of relatives in Stone Bull Village. The reason why the female ghost Wu Cuiping appeared in Stone Bull Village was probably to chase after these villagers.

Only then did Song Fulu understand the cause and effect of the situation, and he was able to let go of his worries. However, he became more cautious in this world.

With the decline of Wu Family Village, the story of the female ghost Wu Cuiping gradually spread.

It turned out that Wu Cuiping became a female ghost because of her cousin.

At the age of sixteen, Wu Cuiping married her cousin Zhang Tengze, whom she had grown up with. The first few years of their marriage were fine, but as Wu Cuiping gave birth to three daughters in a row, Zhang Tengze, who favored sons over daughters, couldn't bear it anymore and blamed all the faults on Wu Cuiping.

Facing Zhang Tengze's violent temper, Wu Cuiping endured and was often beaten and scolded by him. With the birth of their fourth daughter, Zhang Tengze couldn't bear it anymore and killed several of their daughters while drunk.

Witnessing the killing of her daughters by Zhang Tengze, Wu Cuiping went crazy on the spot and wanted to fight him to the death. However, she was killed on the spot by Zhang Tengze and her body was thrown into a smelly ditch.

With immense resentment and being thrown into a dark and smelly ditch, Wu Cuiping directly transformed into a ghost. That night, she retaliated against Zhang Tengze, sucking him dry. She didn't spare his parents, who had supported his cruelty, and killed them all.

The people of Wu Family Village thought that the matter would end there, but they didn't expect Wu Cuiping's vengeful heart to be so strong. After killing Zhang Tengze's family, she began to retaliate against other people in the village, killing a large number of villagers.

The villagers of Wu Family Village tried many ways to deal with Wu Cuiping, even spending a huge amount of money to hire experts at the Interior Refinement realm, but they all failed to kill her. Instead, more villagers were killed.

In just a few months, Wu Family Village was destroyed by this female ghost Wu Cuiping. If it weren't for Song Fulu killing her last night by chance, Stone Bull Village would probably be the next Wu Family Village.

This sudden disaster was eliminated by Song Fulu, although no one knew about it. However, Song Fulu unintentionally saved Stone Bull Village once, preventing many villagers from being killed by the female ghost.

Because of this incident, Stone Bull Village and the surrounding villages remained on high alert for several months. After Wu Cuiping failed to appear, they gradually let go of their worries.

After this incident, Song Fulu became even more focused on cultivation. Apart from eating, sleeping, and forging weapons, all his other time was spent on improving his cultivation. In just a few months, Song Fulu broke through to the Exterior Forging Third Layer.

Name: Song Fulu

Lifespan: 18 years/63 years

Free Talent Points: 0 points

Cultivation Realm: Exterior Forging Third Layer

Cultivation Talent: 12 points (High)

Auxiliary Talent: 7 points (Good)

Martial Arts Mastery: Mountain Fist (Third Layer), Basic Movement Technique (Perfection), Basic Knife Technique (Great Accomplishment), Basic Archery (Great Accomplishment).

Mastering secondary skills: Weapon Refining Technique (Level 6), Seed Planting Technique (Level 4), Alchemy Technique (Level 5).

Through continuous hard work day and night, in just a few months, Song Fulu's overall strength has improved significantly.

Weapon Refining Technique has been upgraded from Level 5 to Level 6, Seed Planting Technique from Level 3 to Level 4, and Alchemy Technique from Level 3 to Level 5, earning a total of 4 Free Talent Points.

Song Fulu evenly distributed the 4 Free Talent Points between Cultivation Talent and Auxiliary Talent, greatly increasing the speed of both martial arts cultivation and secondary skill cultivation.

Of course, the most important breakthrough is in the Cultivation Realm. After reaching the Exterior Forging Third Layer, with his high talent and solid Mountain Fist technique, Song Fulu's qi and blood have reached the level of an ordinary Exterior Forging Fourth Layer Martial Artist.

Nourished by abundant and pure qi and blood, Song Fulu's lifespan has increased by another year.

Basic Movement Technique has reached Perfection after breaking through to Great Accomplishment, Basic Knife Technique is about to break through, and Basic Archery Technique has also consecutively broken through, reaching the level of Great Accomplishment.

At this moment, Song Fulu's overall strength should be able to rank among the top ten in Stone Bull Village. If he were to add poison powder, quicklime, itching powder, crossbows, and other good things, he might even be able to rank in the top three. Caught off guard, even Village Chief Lu Wenshan, who has the highest combat power, could possibly be defeated by Song Fulu.

With this level of strength, he is now qualified to roam the outskirts of Stone Bull Mountain.

Under the intense sunlight, Stone Bull Mountain is illuminated.

Song Fulu carries a thirty-layered Goose Feather Knife around his waist, with a crossbow, poison powder, lime powder, etc. in his arms, itching powder, hemostatic pills, and evil-warding pills in his pockets. He holds a thirty-layered steel bow in his hand, slowly aiming at a stone bull a hundred meters away.

The stone bull's body is like a rock, more than twice the size of an ordinary earth yellow bull. Once its blood erupts, its skin becomes as hard as stone, hence the name "stone bull."

The weight of an adult stone bull is generally over three thousand catties, and some larger ones can reach over four thousand catties. Some powerful stone bulls even weigh over five thousand catties.

Stone bulls belong to the lower-tier ferocious beasts, one layer below Martial Artists in the Exterior Forging realm. They are not very aggressive, which is why they are the favorite prey of many villagers.

The stone bull in front of Song Fulu weighs about four thousand catties. Even if it were dried into jerky, it would still weigh around one thousand catties, making it definitely worth hunting.

Its overall strength is roughly equivalent to a Martial Artist in the Exterior Forging Fourth Layer, making it a suitable target for hunting and practice for Song Fulu.

"Swoosh..."

At a certain moment, Song Fulu released the bowstring, and the thirty-layered arrow pierced through the air, arriving in front of the stone bull that was still grazing in the blink of an eye.

"Chi..."

Before the stone bull could react to what had happened, the arrow had already pierced its copper bell-like eye and penetrated deep into its brain.

A direct hit, without any deviation.

"Boom boom boom..."

The stone bull struggled frantically, breaking the surrounding trees as it tried to find the whereabouts of its enemy. However, Song Fulu had already hidden among the leaves, quietly waiting for the stone bull to die.

Several minutes later, the stone bull, severely injured by Song Fulu, collapsed with a loud crash and never moved again.

Just as Song Fulu was about to go down and deal with the spoils of war, he suddenly felt a chill on his body. He turned his head and saw a larger stone bull staring coldly at him from dozens of meters away, then charging towards him frantically.
