When Earth becomes a battlefield and killing becomes the norm, everyone eagerly awaits their desired items from treasure chests dropped by monsters. But he, having opened so many treasure chests, h...
"Are you sure, kid? You couldn't shoot all 10,000 of them even if you kept shooting until tomorrow!"
The old man guarding the warehouse looked annoyed. The last person who asked for 10,000 arrows hadn't even finished shooting them all yet, and now another hothead had come along.
"If I can't finish shooting them all, I'll take them with me!" Jiang Yuan said matter-of-factly.
The old man chuckled, offering no explanation, and simply said, "Alright, ten thousand sticks, is that right?"
Jiang Yuan received ten thousand high-quality arrows as he wished. After receiving a thousand quiver of arrows, he grinned and said enviously, "Big families are so good. They even provide cultivation resources for free. With this many bows and arrows, even a pig could master archery."
Little did he know, after he left, the old man guarding the storeroom grinned and said, "Kid, let's see how you manage to shoot all ten thousand arrows in a day!"
The old man shifted his position, revealing a wooden sign behind him. The sign clearly read "Self-service Warehouse," followed by a statement in prominent handwriting: "Due to the phenomenon of some family members taking free supplies and selling them outside the clan's territory, in order to prevent waste, the supplies taken by each person will be recorded. They must be returned on the same day they are taken and are not allowed to be taken out of the shooting range. Violators will be fined a hundred times the amount."
On the other side, Jiang Yuan, who had received 10,000 arrows, also took the time to fetch a horse. Just shooting at targets wasn't enough; the situation in battle was constantly changing, so he needed to adapt to archery techniques used during high-speed movement.
Moreover, this time, he does not intend to activate Hawkeye. Hawkeye's existence makes his archery skills highly questionable, and even worse, Hawkeye will become a shackle on his archery skills. He must confront archery skills with his inner strength.
"Who is that guy?"
When Jiang Yuan rode out on a white horse, all the Jiang family members on the shooting range noticed him.
In fact, everyone at this shooting range is a familiar face; it's always the same people practicing, so they can easily recognize any new recruits.
"Jiang Feng, is this person from your Lingyun faction?" a man asked.
The young man called Jiang Feng observed Jiang Yuan for a few moments, then shook his head and said, "He doesn't seem like it. Our Lingyun faction has no more than a hundred direct descendants, and I've never seen him before!"
"You really don't treat the collateral branches of your Lingyun faction like human beings, do you? What if they're actually from the Jiang family's collateral branches?" the man who asked the question said with a laugh and a scolding tone.
"How could I possibly remember all those people from the collateral branches? Besides, they have their own shooting ranges, why would they come here?" Jiang Feng indicated that he was unaware of Jiang Yuan's background.
"That's strange, this person isn't from our Zhongyuan Jiang family either!" The man who asked the question looked at a hot young woman in the arena. "Jiang Xuan, could she be from your Crossing the Sea Sect?"
“I don’t know him. I know everyone in the Jiang family across the sea, whether they are direct or collateral relatives, and I’ve never seen this person before!” The girl named Jiang Xuan said with certainty.
"Don't ask anymore, just go and take a look. Anyway, no new people have joined the shooting range for several months. It'll be good to go and exchange archery skills with him!" Jiang Feng looked at Jiang Yuan, who was shooting arrows, with interest.
Because bows and arrows were not the mainstream weapons in this era, there were not many people who practiced archery. Therefore, exchanging ideas with each other became a very common way for them to improve their archery skills.
"Cool!"
Jiang Yuan galloped across the shooting range, each arrow fired precisely five seconds apart. He had also figured out the pattern for accumulating death power: First, each arrow must consume at least one percent of the user's total energy; otherwise, the Netherworld Orb wouldn't trigger. This was unrelated to cultivation level; the standard was solely the user's own abilities. Besides energy, the Netherworld Orb needed to be triggered to accumulate death power once, meaning the bow couldn't be drawn without firing an arrow.
Neither of these two points were a problem for him. First, there was the high energy consumption. Although it seemed that each arrow would take away one percent of his divine energy, he could only shoot a hundred arrows, which meant he could only store one enhanced version of the death power. But don't underestimate his terrifying recovery speed. Without using recovery pills, he could still shoot more than two hundred arrows steadily under rapid fire. If he used pills, the speed would be terrifying, and his divine energy would be almost inexhaustible.
Of course, activating the Underworld Orb requires mental energy, and 10,000 arrows a day is already the limit.
"What a fast arrow!"
Jiang Yuan's actions surprised the Jiang family members who had gathered around, but when they saw the accuracy of the arrow, they could only remain silent. It wasn't because it was too accurate, but because the accuracy was so bad that they didn't even want to complain.
"Is this guy shooting randomly?" Jiang Xuan muttered with a strange expression.
Logically speaking, someone who can shoot an arrow with such power must have exceptional archery skills, but the accuracy is completely unrelated to exceptional skills.
"Brother, which faction are you from?" Jiang Yi from the Zhongyuan Jiang family asked.
Although he shouted the words, Jiang Yuan's actions did not stop at all; he continued to concentrate on shooting arrows.
"Brother Yi, it seems you've been ignored!" Jiang Feng teased Jiang Yi as if he were watching a good show.
Sure enough, Jiang Yi got angry when he heard Jiang Feng say that. He slapped his horse and shouted, "Giddy up, catch up with him!"
As the horse galloped, Jiang Yi took out his bow and arrows, as well as blunt arrows that had never been used before. These were arrows specifically used at the shooting range to hone archery skills, and in this shooting range, there was little difference from actual combat.
"You dare to ignore me? Then let me show you your archery skills!"
Jiang Yi spurred his horse and gave chase, with an arrow already nocked.
Jiang Yuan had already noticed Jiang Yi's actions. Moreover, he discovered that he actually knew Jiang Yi. He had not completely lost his memories of the Jiang family, but only the memories from when he started cultivating at the age of six until he was expelled from the Jiang family had disappeared. Therefore, he could vaguely remember Jiang Yi.
