Invincible by Picking Attributes

"Three attribute breakthroughs rewarded treasure chests, plus the one for killing Bao Yuan."

"A total of four treasure chests."

"I hope my luck explodes, and I can get a cultivation technique directly," Zhao Feng thought to himself with anticipation.

Then he commanded, "Open all treasure chests."

"Opening all Tier 1 Treasure Chests."

Reward 1: Yellow-Tier High-Rank Martial Skill: Chaotic Dance Spear Technique

Reward 2: Black-Tier Low-Rank Weapon: Overlord Spear

Reward 3: 500 taels of gold

Reward 4: Beginner-Level Medical Skills

"It seems that getting a cultivation technique requires higher-tier treasure chests. Even after opening so many, I still didn't get a single one," Zhao Feng sighed, feeling slightly disappointed.

However, looking at these rewards, he was still satisfied.

A new martial skill and a Black-Tier weapon were invaluable assets for survival.

As for the 500 taels of gold, its worth was self-evident. Given his current salary as a soldier, Zhao Feng wouldn't be able to earn that amount even after decades of service. With this fortune, he could return home as a wealthy man.

"Learn Chaotic Dance Spear Technique."

"Extract medical skills," Zhao Feng commanded.

The next moment, a golden glow enveloped his entire body.

The knowledge of the martial skill and medical techniques was instantly infused into his mind.

"This Chaotic Dance Spear Technique suits me perfectly. It appears chaotic but strikes fatally with every move. Combined with my immense strength, it's a deadly weapon. Truly worthy of its Yellow-Tier High-Rank status."

"This Overlord Spear can't be revealed for now. Historically, the only person known to wield it was Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Western Chu. But during this era, Xiang Yu hasn't even been born yet."

"As for medical skills, they might be the most precious. Although beginner-level, they make me well-versed in medicine. My mother excels in healing arts, and my sister shows talent in it too. Only I seemed to lack any aptitude. When I return home, Mother will surely be amazed," Zhao Feng mused with satisfaction.

Just then, Wei Quan hobbled over to him.

"Kid, what are you doing standing here all dazed?" Wei Quan chuckled.

"Just reflecting on surviving this ordeal," Zhao Feng replied with a faint smile.

Hearing this, Wei Quan sat beside Zhao Feng and sighed. "Yeah, I thought I was done for this time, too. Never imagined I'd survive. And it's not just me many of the brothers in the logistics unit owe their lives to you. Honestly, the few hundred survivors today are all alive because of you. If you hadn't led us to fight back, we'd have been chased down and slaughtered by the Han forces without any resistance."

Zhao Feng shook his head lightly. "It wasn't just me. Everyone played a part. I was tied to the same fate as all of you."

"But if you hadn't rallied us to counterattack, we would've kept fleeing, only to end up dead in the end," Wei Quan insisted seriously. "Every one of us owes you our lives."

"We're comrades in arms. There's no need for such talk," Zhao Feng said with a slight smile.

Zhao Feng regarded Wei Quan as a true brother now. After all, the man had shielded him from an arrow something only a bond forged in the heat of battle could produce.

"Ah... this battle was too brutal," Wei Quan sighed. "Out of ten thousand logistics soldiers, half were wiped out in the sneak attack. Many more died during the pursuit. Now only six or seven hundred remain. Even General Luo Chao fell in the raid."

"This situation arose because the commanding officers were too eager for quick success and advancement," Zhao Feng said firmly.

Hearing this, Wei Quan froze.

"When Qin's 100,000-strong army captured Yangcheng, if they had left more troops to garrison the city say, just 10,000 men what could the hidden Han forces have done?" Zhao Feng explained. "But the commanding officers were too impatient, leaving only a few thousand soldiers to guard it. Naturally, this led to disaster."

"So, General Li Teng will likely face punishment for this," Wei Quan speculated.

"That's for the higher-ups to decide. It has nothing to do with us," Zhao Feng remarked indifferently.

Whether Qin's king punished Li Teng or dealt with Wang Jian, it wasn't Zhao Feng's concern. He only cared about surviving and thriving.

"You're right. What happens up there isn't our business. Staying alive is what matters," Wei Quan agreed, breaking into a smile.

Then he noticed the arrows embedded in Zhao Feng's arm and shoulder, with the blood around the wounds already dried.

"Where's the military doctor? Why is he taking so long?" Wei Quan fretted.

"These are just minor injuries not a big deal," Zhao Feng said dismissively.

With his physique exceeding 600 points, even more severe wounds would heal quickly, let alone these.

"Minor or not, what if the Han forces had smeared poison on the arrows? If you catch the seven-day wind (lockjaw), it'll be fatal," Wei Quan warned.

Zhao Feng understood the concern.

In this era, lockjaw was a death sentence.

But with his current constitution, even the most virulent poison wouldn't stand a chance.

"Don't worry. The Han forces were in hiding for so long they wouldn't have had the chance to prepare poisoned arrows," Zhao Feng reassured.

Wei Quan nodded but then turned his gaze to the severed head by Zhao Feng's side.

"You've killed at least two or three hundred enemies in this battle. What's so special about this one that you're carrying it around?" Wei Quan asked curiously.

Hearing this, Zhao Feng grinned. "Brother Wei, I've struck it big this time. Do you know whose head this is?"

"Could it be a Han commander? You did kill one before the son of their top general, Bao Qiu. If this one is another, it's indeed a great achievement," Wei Quan speculated.

"This head is connected to Bao Qiu," Zhao Feng said cryptically.

"Related to Bao Qiu?" Wei Quan froze, then gasped as a thought struck him. "Don't tell me... this is General Bao Yuan's head?"

"Hahaha!" Zhao Feng laughed heartily.

"That's right."

"This is Bao Yuan's head."

"I sent their father and son to reunite in the afterlife."
