Eternal Thief

Chapter 1010 Imperfection means Death!

?Seeing Leroy’s earnest expression, Conner felt even more motivated and quickly continued his lesson, “Now that we have the complex stuff out of the way, I’ll show you the first three levels of the Death Striker Archery Art, so observe carefully, I’ll only show you once. If you have any questions, you may ask after my exhibition.”

Afterward, in Conner’s left hand, a beautiful golden bow appeared, which was six feet in size and arced with a crimson string. There was a beautiful, vivid carving of a silver flood dragon coiling around the slick bow, and if someone looked carefully, there were tiny runes engraved on the dragon scales.

This bow was giving off a powerful and majestic aura, and the moment Conner took it out, Ace’s eyes lit up as he could easily guess that this bow was a Grade-8 Treasure.

Conner looked pleased seeing Leroy’s awed expression and gently creased the silver bow and said, “This is Dragon Sundering Bow, the legacy treasure of my clan and one of its kind. This is the strongest bow in the entire Sky Heart Plains that even those old sods feared.

“If one day you can surpass me in archery, I’ll bestow this bow to you since only the strongest archer is worthy of the Dragon Sundering Bow. Now, look carefully; the First Three Levels of the Death Striker Archery Art are called Arrow Marker, Mind Draw, and Roaming Shot.

“Once you master the arrow marker, you will be able to shoot an arrow right where your pupils can see with 100% accuracy. Normally, the eyes and arrow of an archer would never be fully synchronized together because we use eyes to select a target and hands to hold a bow and then draw the arrow. There are four different limbs of the body working together just to shoot an arrow, and this is why archery is very hard to master. Therefore, it’s an overly underestimated profession, and very few have the guts to learn it.

“The arrow accuracy of an archer and the sync with his body would be around 70 to 80%; a cultivator can further increase it to around 90 to 96%, and with our martial sense and soul sense, the synchronization can be further increased up to 98% to 99% but never 100% because there are too many factors involved.

“For if you increase the distances and someone is not within the range of your soul sense, you have to rely on your eyes and perception, and this factor could greatly reduce the synchronization, thereby affecting the accuracy.

“But with Arrow Marker, you will learn to control your Qi to the pinnacle, which will also allow you to combine your vision and Qi together. Once you achieve this result, you will never have to worry about accuracy, and you can even shoot arrows while moving as long as you can ‘see’ your target.

“This also brings me to the Mind Draw, which can only be learned once you can shoot your target within a second after you laid your eyes on it because Mind Draw is a quick drawing method that also covers and mends another problem of an archer: drawing!

“To achieve mind draw, not only do you need full control of your Qi, but you also need to merge with your bow like another limb of your body, and once you get that feeling, you will be able to draw a bow with lightning-fast speed as if you’re drawing it with your mind in less than a second. 𝑖.𝑐ℴ𝑚

“Once you fully mastered the perfect accuracy and perfect draw, the archery would have completely incorporated into your very soul. Only then can you start learning the Roaming Arrow, which needs both of the aforementioned perfect skills.

“A roaming arrow can follow a target even if it is able to move, just like the Orbit Intent, but its principles and effects are very different and limited. To make an arrow move with a roaming arrow, you need to predict its movement accurately and incorporate those predations into your Qi arrow with your mind. While the Orbit Intent is a law itself, its effects are naturally more potent.

“Anyhow, the roaming arrow can only be done with the Qi arrow because the Qi can move with your order; it’s just like shaping it or using skills. But this concept is a step deeper and tricky. I can only explain it. You need to understand yourself.

“There is another easier way, which is to create a special treasure runic arrow that can be controlled through your mind. But this won’t help you to master the true archery.

“Because once you have outgrown the treasure grade, it would lose its power, and you will need to make a new, more powerful one, and this process would last forever.

“While the bow is just a medium, and you can use it for a very long time, I can even shoot down an early-stage law comprehension realm cultivator with a mortal bow because of my Qi arrow. So, there will be no back door for you.

“Lastly, remember, well, boy, in archery, everything has to be perfect because you can’t miss, as in archery, imperfection means death!

“Now observe!”

After his profound lecturer, Conner became solemn as he pulled the Dragon Sundering Bow in front of him, and with his other, suddenly he flickered his finger, and the next moment, violet Qi suddenly took the shape of a tiny bee.

The violet Qi bee was extremely life-like, and just to create it, one needed an extreme and precise level of control over their Qi. The bee then suddenly flapped its corporeal wings, and with a lightning-fast speed, it began to buzz around.

After creating a target, Conner pulled the silver string of the bow and a corporal violet arrow materialized, and it didn’t have any aura at all, it was just like a normal arrow.

At this moment, Conner’s eyes begin to follow the bee movement at lightning-fast speed, and as he is predicting its movements, the Qi arrow head suddenly begins to swirl at a terrifying speed.

Under Ace’s solemn expression, Conner moved, but it was so fast that even with Ace’s terrifying perception, he only saw a violet streak, and it was like Conner’s hand never even shook from his spot.

However, the arrows on the bow were already shot, and alarmingly, it turned into a violet streak. Like an agile string, it began to move around the air right where the bee was moving, and after twisting three times, it finally hit the bee between its head with perfect accuracy.

A small sound rang, and both the bee and arrow turned into violet particles like fireworks.

Although Ace wasn’t able to see the Mind Draw, he clearly saw what happened afterward, and he had to admit, Conner was probably the bane of existence like him, who depended on his swift movement skills to escape.

If Conner was using his Orbit Intent, Ace didn’t have confidence that he could avoid his arrow.

At this moment, Conner looked at Ace and, with a hint of smugness hidden in his solemn eyes, said, “Did you see it clearly, boy? If not, then I’m afraid I can’t go any slower than this.”

Ace was speechless for a long time as Conner’s expert like imagine instantly crumbled, this guy was clearly showing off!
