My Cultivation Starting from Archery

Burn out.

Chen Sansi quickly understood.

The so-called burn-out can be understood as True Power having a special effect, capable of burning the opponent's mana and True Power as if they were firewood, until it's completely consumed.

This is nearly the same effect as the Nether River True Power of the Sky Water Ling Family.

In other words.

If they were to engage in battle again.

Ling Kui could use Nether River True Power to seal his True Power, and he could use Fire Element True Power to burn away the opponent's True Power.

Finally...

He reached the True Power Middle Stage!

[Spell: Thick Earth Decision (small achievement)]

[Progress: 552/2000]

...

[Magic: Ten Thousand Sword Sky. Breakthrough Second-tier]

[Progress: 688/2000]

...

[Skill: Archery. Perfection (Breakthrough Third-tier)]

[Progress: (1992/2000)]

All other magic techniques improved, but there is still a small distance to break through; only archery was close, so Chen Sansi drew his bow and shot arrows with all his might, aiming to improve.

The Way of Archery.

The foundation for his survival and standing in this world, the spells and techniques were already deeply ingrained in his mind, even more than spear techniques.

Chen Sansi continuously drew his bow and shot arrows; the bowstring hummed as if playing a grand symphony. Whether it was an ordinary arrow, a Flowing Light Arrow, or a Silver Bullet, all the arrows shot were not parabolic but a straight flame with the sound of cutting through the sky. Wherever it passed, the void twisted at a speed visible to the naked eye, and upon hitting the target, a storm would surge under the True Power, producing a thunderous booming roar.

His speed of drawing the bow got faster and faster, body and mind completely immersed, gradually forgetting where he was and what weapon he held, only the target in his eyes, what his heart aimed at, the arrow would unerringly reach.

This is the true unity of man and arrow!

The panel floats.

[Divine Skills: Arrow Tao (First Rank)]

[Progress: 0/2000]

[Utility: Any arrow shot cannot be avoided; anything held can become an arrow]

[Anything held can become an arrow: When archery reaches its peak and steps onto the Dao path, everything, living or dead, becomes arrows.]

In simpler terms.

From now on, the "arrows" of Chen Sansi's bow and arrow set no longer need to be narrow wooden shafts with metal arrowheads, but anything can be used as an arrow, regardless of life or death.

Like Sword Cultivators who practice to a certain level, seeming to have a sword without one, he ties all things in the world to a single arrow.

For example...

Chen Sansi casually plucked a leaf and placed it on the bowstring, and when the bowstring fell, the seemingly light leaf that the breeze could lift shot out like a sharp blade, consecutively piercing through the trunks of several trees.

He then caught a sparrow alive, placed it on the bowstring, let go, and the sparrow, wrapped in flames, blasted out, shattering a giant rock to pieces.

This is "anything held can become an arrow".

Of course.

Leaves and sparrows can indeed be used as arrows, but the power they unleash is relatively weak.

To achieve powerful might, it's still necessary to pair with high-grade weapons, or other kinds of magic artifacts or living creatures.

Additionally, there's another problem.

Namely, the golden bow in Chen Sansi's hands, a first-rank top-grade magic artifact, seems somewhat light and unsteady after he broke through to True Power Middle Stage, needing a replacement to maximize its utility.

However, this is not something to be concerned about at the moment.

"Hoo..."

In seclusion for half a month.

Chen Sansi exhaled a long turbid breath, concluding this session of cultivation.

Without wasting a moment, he waved his hand to summon a flying boat, took his fourth senior brother, and soared into the sky, heading straight towards... the Fei River!

...

Kunyang City.

Under the fierce assault of the Enemy Army day and night, to reduce losses, the City Protection Array cannot maintain its full power at all times; it is only activated when it can no longer hold or when Ling Kui and Cao Kai make a move. The rest of the time, a brutal defense battle is fought.

"Kill——"

"Kill the thieves!"

"..."

Roars and wails mixed with the clash of armor and weapons, as soldiers on both sides wielded their weapons, cutting into each other's flesh.

Cultivators could no longer stand idly by; each gave their all, staking their lives and their Dao paths to decide the final victory or defeat.

Under the pressure of Ling Kui and the Emperor.

Each battle resulted in heavy casualties within the city.

Two thousand...

Five thousand...

Eight thousand...

The number of casualties kept increasing, bodies piled high on the city walls, blood stained the blue bricks red, and severed limbs flew everywhere.

Shengyun Sect Cultivator Yuan Simiao and Guiyuan Sect Cultivator Qian Qiren, each summoned their Lifebound Flying Sword, pouring all their mana into the sword edge, and then performed a sealing to control and strike at the other.

"Boom——"

Two distinct spirit lights clashed.

Qian Qiren staggered back, nearly losing control of his Lifebound Flying Sword, managed to steady himself with difficulty, and immediately fled towards the city.

"Is this all the skill a True Disciple of the Guiyuan Sect Sect Leader has?!"

Yuan Simiao snorted coldly and chased after him.

Amidst the chaos.

A young child crawled across the bloodstained blue brick ground, with an innocent face full of unease, craning his neck to look around, seemingly having been separated during the great battle.

Yuan Simiao soon noticed the child, and knew that this little one was the eldest son of the White Robe.

He immediately shouted, "Grab him!"

Capturing this child would have great utility!

At his command, several fellow disciples provided cover.

Yuan Simiao himself accelerated with sealing, swooping down like a hawk that had spotted its prey, skimming over the city wall, and plucked the mortal child without spirit root in hand.

Mission accomplished, he immediately retraced his steps, noticing that the previously repelled Qian Qiren was chasing after him again.
