Chapter 508 Magnificent

?The bow he held was a tad bit not suited for him as he made it very specifically for Feng Yi, but he adjusted his grip.

However, as she took out an arrow and wanted to give it to him, he shook his head with a smile, and put his left hand on the bowstring.

Spiritual Qi started forming an arrow already nocked onto the bow, and as she felt the sharpness from it her skin prickled and her teeth became numb.

The Spiritual Qi arrow’s inside was constantly moving as there appeared to be a constant flowing cycle, moving in a specific pattern.

He drew the bow with ease while Spiritual Qi ran on the surface of the bow limbs and the string in beautiful ways and then aimed to the side.

*Twang*

A tense sound of the bowstring being released resounded, and Feng Yi’s eyes captured an arched line made of Spiritual Qi that moved right but then curved left.

She followed the trace to the arrow which was already dissipating, stuck in a side of a distant training rock that Ye Ling used to gauge the cutting strength of Feng Yi’s sword attacks.

Her eyes widened seeing the rock she was not able to put a scratch on pierced by the tip of the arrow.

“That was a basic guided arrow technique.

I added the arrow trace technique so you could see the trajectory, but it’s inconsequential for the result.

This one…”

Wu Long already drew the bow once again, and as he shot another arrow it split into ten right at the point of release, all ten making sparks on the training rock in a circle.

“…is a shot multiplication technique, again, the most basic one.

They as a general rule would lessen the impact from the original arrow, but there are always exceptions and profound techniques”

He then released a single one with the next shot, that made a hissing sound in flight, and tore a hole right through the rock.

“This one is a basic Piercing Technique.

These usually don’t pair well with guiding techniques or high angle shooting, though of course a skilled archer can make it work”

And as she stared at that hole in the rock with wide eyes, he drew the bow once again, the arrow this time appearing out of drops of water from a leather bottle he took out.

“And this next one is…”

But as he shot it, the water splashed on the rock with no visible damage.

“…”

Feng Yi first looked at the wet spot on the training rock and then turned her gaze to him as he stared to the front for a moment in silence.

“…a splash in your face arrow”

He then turned to her with a smug smile, raising his eyebrows twice as a “pfft!” escaped her lips involuntarily.

“Alright, that one failed, but this one should be enough to demonstrate…”

He spoke up with a chuckle and then his figure disappeared, the next moment appearing high up in the air, and with a loud *boom*, the training rock was hidden by a cloud of dust.

Her eyes darted to the dust cloud, and as it gradually cleared, it revealed a scene of the training rock crushed into smithereens, a Spiritual Qi arrow dissipating as it struck the ground beneath the rock.

“This…”

“An enhanced Spiritual Qi Arrow imbued with a hammer point art.

There is also illusion arrows that confuse the real one among several dummies, though that one requires at least a bit of talent in illusion arts, explosive arrow techniques and many many more, not to mention that there are various ways to combine or fuse the different techniques and so on, but that’s the gist of it”

Wu Long spoke in a light tone to the flabbergasted red-haired beauty whose now round, olive green eyes were reflecting his smiling face.

She received the bow he handed back automatically, still dazed.

“Wait… why aren’t you an Archery Cultivator?”

She then asked with incredulousness, witnessing his prowess with a bow.

“Hahaha, personal preference.

You see, every weapon has its style of combat, and the most effective Archer is the one who is always at a distance from their target.

That may work well for those surrounded by allies or those whose main tactic is using agile movement to always put large distances between themselves and the enemy, but it does not suit my fighting style”

He shrugged, causing her to stare at him in silence for some time.

“So… you can’t use normal arrows with these techniques?”

“Ah, sorry, you can. I was just demonstrating the possibilities

In fact the ones made of special materials or with inscriptions could be used as a powerful trump cards.

As an added bonus real arrows are very well suited for talisman use as you can attach multiple talismans to them”

He chuckled, as he gave her the wrong impression when he refused the arrow she offered.

“I demonstrated this possibility because there are many archers who look down on the Spiritual Qi Arrows as they generally consume a lot of Spiritual Qi that is not always necessary.

You could use a normal arrow or a high quality arrow which has the same effect and does not consume your Spiritual Qi instead.

However, it does not mean that there is no merit in learning these techniques in my opinion.

For example, knowing how to use such techniques could help in case you run out of arrows, which is a small possibility for Arrow Cultivators who wear dedicated Spatial Rings on their drawing hands that only have arrows in them, of all varieties, but it has happened.

It is also easier to conceal hidden techniques within such arrows as they are made entirely out of a Spiritual Qi art.

And, there are a great many techniques to create them, the hidden potential of the more powerful ones could not be underestimated”

He then added an explanation as she nodded with a pondering expression.

Having a dedicated ring for arrows on the drawing hand made perfect sense as one would not need to take time reaching for the quiver for more arrows.

It would also reduce time for searching through the ring contents if there are only arrows in the ring.

Thinking about these advantages she decided to add one more Spatial Ring to her right arm, moving her usual one to the left hand as it would be easier to take out her bow this way.

But hearing his words she also made a firm decision to follow his advice and learn both techniques to use with real arrows as well as the Spiritual Qi Arrows.

“Thank you, Wu Long”

The bow disappeared into her Spatial Ring and she leaped forward to hug him as he made a light laugh, hugging her back.

“Wu Long”

He then heard a gentle and peaceful voice coming from the side, releasing his hands with a light smile and looking to the side to see Ye Ling’s smiling face.

However, as soon as he saw that smile he realized something, his eyes slightly widening and then turning to the small fragments of the training stone in the distance.

“Ahaha, Ling’er!

I seem to have gotten a little carried away, but… did you see my ‘water in your face arrow’? It was magnificent…”
