Chapter 309: Chapter 36: Intensive Archery Training, the Shock in Xie Xiaojiu’s Heart!_3
Mere talent alone could never have brought him this far.
It was the afternoon.
The sky was overcast.
Ever since the last weather change, there had been few clear days.
Most days were dominated by gloomy skies, occasionally accompanied by a few bouts of autumn rain.
The autumn rain at this time was insufficient to alleviate the dryness of the crops.
But thanks to Luoshui Lake, the people of Luoshui County weren’t severely afflicted by the drought throughout the year.
And now, according to the season, it was early winter.
The crops in the fields had long been harvested, so it didn’t matter whether there was autumn rain or not.
Standing atop the cliff, Jiang Ning released an arrow, which tore through the air, stirring up gusts of wind.
[Wind Thunder Arrow Skill Experience Value +1]
Suddenly, Jiang Ning’s gaze sharpened.
Across the distant lake, he saw a light boat coming his way.
His expression relaxed.
He recognized the person on the boat—it was Xie Xiaojiu.
These past nights, he’d been staying at Xie Xiaojiu’s home, sharing a room with her.
His trust in Xie Xiaojiu had deepened considerably.
Watching Xie Xiaojiu steer the boat rapidly toward him, Jiang Ning smiled, glanced at the panel, and continued to draw his bow and shoot arrows.
[Skill]: Wind Thunder Arrow Skill (Second Limit Breaking 2993/3000) (Traits: Wind and Thunder Breath, Arrow Skill of the Heart)
He was now mere inches away from the 3,000 experience points required for the Wind Thunder Arrow Skill.
Seventeen more shots and the Wind Thunder Arrow Skill would reach 3,000 experience points, and he would be able to undergo the skill’s third limit breaking.
Jiang Ning released his fingers, and the arrow shot forth from the bowstring.
The arrow broke the sound barrier, creating waves of turbulent energy.
The powerful energy waved over the lake, causing the water to churn and waves to spread out on either side of the path the energy had taken.
Xie Xiaojiu watched the scene before her, her expression one of shock.
“A supersonic arrow!” Xie Xiaojiu murmured to herself.
She clearly saw the arrow, slanting towards her direction.
The sound of the arrow tearing through the air reached her ears only after the arrow itself had passed.
This undoubtedly demonstrated that Jiang Ning’s arrow had broken the sound barrier.
“The lord’s arrow skill is terrifying!” Xie Xiaojiu muttered, her eyes flashing with disbelief.
As a native of Luoshui County, she was well aware of everything about Jiang Ning.
But the more she knew, the more surreal the scene before her seemed.
An arrow capable of breaking the sound barrier was previously achieved by only one person in Luoshui County in public, and that was Cao Rong.
And what kind of strength did Cao Rong possess?
He was at the peak of Martial Arts Seventh Grade, famed for his Refining Muscle prowess, which had reached the level of Dragon Tendon—a state where no further progress could be made.
Such a Martial Arts Seventh Grade practitioner could shoot an arrow that broke the sound barrier and maintained this state for less than one breath.
Yet, with just a glance, she knew that the duration of the sound barrier-breaking arrow shot by Jiang Ning had lasted for roughly more than one breath.
The level of power between the two could not be compared.
Jiang Ning’s arrow was clearly far superior to Cao Rong’s skill.
“The lord’s talent is too terrifying!” Xie Xiaojiu whispered to herself, feeling utterly astonished.
Jiang Ning had come so far in just a few months. His strength at the Martial Arts Seventh Grade seemed incredible to her.
And now his arrow skill far exceeded Cao Rong’s.
She couldn’t fathom how Jiang Ning had achieved this in such a short period,
Advancing his arrow skill to such a frightening level.
Such an arrow skill, in Xie Xiaojiu’s view, posed a lethal threat even to practitioners of Martial Arts Sixth Grade.
With such strength, he was now the previous number one person in Luoshui County.
Xie Xiaojiu’s gaze became somewhat vacant.
She exhaled a breath of impure energy.
“In martial arts, I may never be able to catch up to his figure for the rest of my life.”
Thinking this, Xie Xiaojiu’s eyes dimmed slightly.
