After leaving, Li Yu lightly leaped and stood atop the tallest building in Kangcheng.

He looked down and saw that the thick fog in Kangcheng had completely dissipated.

Then I looked up and saw that the sky was still covered with dark clouds, and I could never see the end of the sky.

Only endless raindrops fall from the hazy clouds, connecting heaven and earth, like an insurmountable rain wall.

Upgrade successful

【Phoenix Bow LV23 (Growth Type): Fiery Phoenix Glazed Spirit Bow, forged by fusing fallen feathers of a spirit bird with a mysterious crystal core containing the primordial power of the phoenix.】

[Flight speed +550, accuracy +230, penetration +230, attack range (meters), 100% hit rate]

Li Yu withdrew his gaze, feeling the stable vortex rotating within his body, and then looked at the new changes in the upgraded Phoenix Bow.

Even he himself couldn't help but exclaim in amazement at the Phoenix Bow's almost abnormally terrifying range.

If he continues to upgrade at this rate, I fear that one day the entire world will be within his range.

If one can achieve the goal of "where there is a will, there is a way," then the arrow will surely reach its destination.

He could simply sit and guard Kangcheng and kill any powerful enemy in the world.

Upon this thought, Li Yu immediately recalled the golden pupil he had recently acquired in his left eye, with its strange ability to connect with faith and manipulate threads.

He suddenly wanted to test the limits of his control over the arrows, and wondered if his golden eyes could help him with that.

Once the thought crossed my mind, I no longer hesitated.

Li Yu swiftly picked up the Phoenix Bow.

"call--"

The bow trembled instantly, and a wisp of crimson flame shot out from the tip of the bow, which then burst into flames.

Li Yu drew his bow, aimed at the sky, the arrow tip pointing towards the thick dark clouds, and the arrow shaft was ignited, emitting a scorching heat.

His left golden eye quietly opened, and a wisp of pure golden energy flowed out like a thread, flowing into the arrow.

Imperceptible golden threads tightly connected his will to the arrows, maximizing his control.

The golden threads blended with the firelight, even coalescing into a pulsating golden glow at the arrowhead.

In order to avoid accidentally harming people and buildings within Zhongzhou, Li Yu, with his sharp eyes, directly chose to aim at the farthest distance he could perceive in the far north.

Because not only Ma Yuanbai had told him, but Lu Fan had also mentioned it explicitly several times.

The race that inhabits that area is ferocious and violent, and has long since deviated from humanity; they can no longer be called human.

Aim your arrow there to test it; even if you accidentally injure someone, there's no need to feel guilty.

Just as Li Yu was about to release the bowstring, a sudden fluctuation came from his mental sea.

The infant spirit emerged from Li Yu's spiritual sea, like a moon's reflection scooped from water, slowly penetrating the barrier between reality and spirit, and drifting out from between Li Yu's eyebrows.

After the infant spirit successfully separated from Li Yu's body, it circled around Li Yu twice, its bright eyes blinking as it looked around.

Immediately, it was drawn to the flames leaping on the phoenix bow. Overcome by its playful nature, it floated straight toward the fully drawn bowstring and plopped down on the burning arrow shaft!

The raging flames that leaped across the bow should have scorched any ghost, but the moment they touched the infant spirit, they meekly curled into a warm ball of light, as if affectionately rubbing against its little hand.

The little infant spirit giggled as it was touched by the flames, seemingly finding it extremely amusing.

The infant spirit that emerged from its cocoon shared a similar aura with Li Yu and successfully planted a spiritual anchor point in Li Yu's spiritual sea.

Therefore, the little infant spirit is now completely compatible with the scorching energy on the Phoenix Bow, and its soul body is even intertwined with the flame energy, gently trembling with the warmth of the flame.

The raging flames had almost no effect on it; instead, they made the light within its soul shine even brighter.

The little infant spirit stretched out its short hand and firmly grasped the shaft of the armor-piercing arrow.

Then, raising its other little hand, it pointed to the churning clouds in the sky, its round head turning back to excitedly shout to Li Yu:

"Aba—Aba—!"

The drawn-out tone was filled with impatience, as if it were a coquettish urging.

Li Yu stared at its little hand gripping the arrow shaft and was immediately stunned.

Although the infant spirit cannot speak, it is not difficult to guess from its appearance that it seems to want to grab the arrow so that Li Yu can launch it and the arrow together.

However, Li Yu hesitated about the bold idea of ​​the little infant spirit. After all, given the range of the Phoenix Bow, the little infant spirit would probably disappear after the arrow was shot.

Li Yu first slowly and carefully loosened the bowstring, then subconsciously touched the space between her eyebrows, still able to feel the faint connection between her spiritual sea and the infant spirit.

He quickly calmed himself and shouted loudly at the Nightmare Beast that was dozing with its eyes closed in his mental sea:

"Nightmare Beast! Wake up!"

"Look! It's trying to grab the arrow and fly away! What should we do?"

The unexpected actions of the little infant spirit caught even the usually composed Li Yu off guard.

The dark figure in the sea of ​​consciousness stirred, its enormous eyes shifting, lazily squinting open for a glance before casually replying:

"Tsk, so what if the little brat wants to ride in an 'arrow chariot'? Fine, let it fly. Why do you have to wake me up for such a small thing..."

Li Yu frowned and said in a deep voice:

"Stop being lazy and going to sleep. You know the distance I shoot my arrows. What if the little infant spirit flies off with it and can't come back?"

"Impossible." The Nightmare Beast interrupted directly, replying in its still languid tone:

"The little guy is now completely locked in your mind, just like me. Even if it flies to the other side of the world, it will be instantly pulled back to your mind with just one thought."

"That thing isn't a rope; it's a fundamental anchor point on a spiritual level! It's symbiosis! Stronger than any contract."

At this point, the Nightmare Beast's voice held a hint of helplessness, its eyes narrowed slightly, and it yawned in its mental sea.

Unless Li Yu's mental state collapses and he dies, the symbiotic anchor will always exist.

But if Li Yu dies, they will die with her.

This is simply unsolvable!

Therefore, even if they successfully leave Li Yu's body, they will eventually return to Li Yu's spiritual sea due to their own initiative or passive attraction.

If it weren't for this incredible symbiotic anchoring that tightly controls it, the Nightmare Beast, the supreme ruler of the mental system, would have run away long ago. Why would it be waiting until now...?

Seeing Li Yu intently sensing the anchor point it had mentioned, the Nightmare Beast, sensing Li Yu's presence, softened its voice, becoming more resolute:

"Don't believe me? Try it now. Just have a thought and see if that little guy 'shakes'."

Li Yu was skeptical, but tried to call upon the infant spirit in her spiritual sea.

The next second, the little infant spirit holding the arrow shaft suddenly paused, as if sensing something. It turned its little head and winked at him.

The little hand also waved gently at him, as if responding to Li Yu's thoughts:

"Gurgle, gurgle?"
