6 Torturing Myself to Grind

A flash of light flew towards Lin Feng's shoulder as it was swiftly dodged as simply as breathing. Then with a squat, he ducked under the arrow that was supposed to pierce through his head,

Lastly, Lin Feng jumped off the ground, avoiding the arrow aiming at his gut with ease.

Several more arrows dashed towards various parts of his body, forcing him to dodge in a weird angle whilst he deflected some of the arrows with his spear.

Lin Feng turned his body to the side, saving himself from the fate of getting bisected by a line of arrows before the arrow barrage came to an end.

Seeing this, Lin Feng cried out in happiness.

"Finally!"

After another tens of tries and a lot of pain, Lin Feng finally managed to get past the first three arrows without getting killed nor getting injured. His agility stat had risen a ton during that time, even allowing him to rank up, along with his instincts and reflexes.

To tell the truth, Lin Feng had already managed to get past the arrows with his body still in a decent condition quite a number of tries ago. However, Lin Feng was a perfectionist as something like this as he constantly retried the test, which resetted every time he went back to the [Healing Area], until he could get past it without injuries.

After that had been done, Lin Feng had taken the initiative to continue on with the Tutorial, causing him no small amounts of torment as he found himself becoming a pin cushion hundreds of times through the course of it.

Not only that, Lin Feng had gained an ability related to his spear after trying to use it to protect himself after a while.

[You have learned Spearmanship Lv. 1]

The ability had appeared when Lin Feng had realised that he shouldn't just use brute force against the arrows. The arrows fired had far too much momentum for him to stop, so he had to use more finesse to deflect them.

Hence, he had found out that instead of forcing the arrow to another direction, he would use the spear to misguide the arrow's path whilst he moved out of the way itself.

It was incredibly effective, as Lin Feng found himself struck by arrows a lot less after that.

Lin Feng had repeated the segment many times even after he had completed it once. Although it was pure agony, Lin Feng felt that it was a necessary grind to be well-prepared for the future.

After all, he didn't know he could keep respawning later on. He'd better make full use of it now while he still could to grind as much as he could.

At this moment, a beep notified Lin Feng of an important notice,

[You have learned Danger Sensing Lv. 1

Description: Sense danger aimed at oneself. A very useful ability that will come in handy very often]

Seeing this skill, a happiness welled up in Lin Feng's heart. This skill would definitely be extremely helpful in the future!

Even though Lin Feng was lamenting that this skill didn't appear earlier, he couldn't complain too much about it. After all, better late than never.

Now that Lin Feng had completed the arrow dodging segment with ease, now it was time for him to continue on with this. Taking several steps forwards at a gradual yet firm pace, Lin Feng found his newly awakened senses tingling as he instinctively tilted his head to the side.

A whoosh sound was all Lin Feng was privy to before he felt blood pouring down his cheek. Realising that he had almost been killed once more, Lin Feng let out a breath of relief.

He continued onwards with his slow march, his [Danger Sensing] skill working in tandem with his instincts and own sharpened senses, as he dodged arrows flying at him.

From all the arrow dodging that he had done previously, Lin Feng merely got minimal surface injuries as he made it through the arrow hell.

As Lin Feng deflected one arrow with his spear at this time, to his shock, he suddenly felt his limbs become incredibly numb, unable to put any force behind it.

'Wha…' Lin Feng thought in shock as his eyes widened.

[You have been poisoned]

Well fuck. It's definitely poisoned arrows.

And hence, Lin Feng found himself subject to becoming a pin cushion once more as his body was perforated with holes.

Waking up at the [Healing Area] once more, Lin Feng was slightly confused.

Why didn't [Danger Sensing] warn him of this? Was it's level not high enough yet, or was this not included in what is constituted as danger?

Getting back to his feet, Lin Feng sighed before he went forward once more. Since he was back at the beginning, he might as well try going faster this time.

— — — —

[Strength has ranked up to Rank 13 Spirit Master]

That was the main thing that Lin Feng had got after he made a few more attempts. His agility and endurance went up like crazy, but unfortunately, they didn't rank up as much.

By this time, Lin Feng had gone through the segment of poison arrows several times already, but it was truly difficult to get through without getting a scratch.

Unlike the previous segment, this one shot arrows completely randomly. To add on to that, the arrows were quite a bit faster as well.

Hence, Lin Feng came up with an ingenious, yet dumb idea at the same time to resolve this problem.

From some of the system type novels that he had read, there should be something called [Poison Resistance] right?

Knowing this, instead of wasting time grinding dumbly for it, Lin Feng decided to be more efficient.

He went and took one of the arrows that he was sure had poison in, then he walked back to starting area, just outside of the [Healing Area].

The [Healing Area] detoxes all sort of poisons as soon as something enters it so Lin Feng would have to do what he was about to do outside instead.

What did he want to do?

Lin Feng took the arrow he had collected before he sat down, laying on the wall as he made himself comfortable.

Then, Lin Feng did something unimaginable.

He stabbed that arrow into his thigh.

Grunts of pain were released from Lin Feng's throat as stabs of pain went through his entire body. Pulling it out once more, Lin Feng let out a loud gasp as the pain intensified.

With heavy breathes, Lin Feng stabbed down once more, causing himself to scream out again this time.

[Pain Resistance has increased to Lv. 6]

As time ticked by slowly within the dark corridor, Lin Feng's screams of pain filled the corridor as they soon quieted down as his limbs slowly became numb.

Noticing this, Lin Feng withstood the torture of the poison slowly numbing his entire body with all his willpower. As soon as his body was unable to withstand it anymore, Lin Feng rolled his body into the [Healing Room] to recover.

As soon as his body was good as new, Lin Feng went out once more. He picked up the arrow he had dropped to the ground as he started with this process once more,

Eventually, Lin Feng's mad actions paid off as he obtained what he wanted after what felt like an eternity.
