Chapter 9: Bows and Arrows

  "Although the Golden Armor is a treasure, I can pierce it with just one casual finger. (This chapter was uploaded by a friend)" Ji Yichuan looked at his son, "All of these are external things, in the future you will have great achievements in cultivating your body as a divine demon, and the strongest part of a divine demon is oneself. What you need to do is to dig out your own potential and bring out your own strength."

  "Hmm." Ji Ning nodded seriously.

  "You have the Divine Demon Body, your strength will be greater, your speed will be faster, your eyes can see further, your ears can hear more clearly, and even your bodys recovery ability is even more astonishing!" Ji Yichuan looked at his son, "You must transform these into powerful abilities..."

  "First of all, you need a weapon!" Ji Yichuan said, "Your strength is ten times greater than your opponents, but an arrow from afar can kill you, thats the power of a weapon."

  "Secondly, you need to be good at using weapons. For example, if you use a sword, even if you dont have any internal energy, as long as you reach the second realm of sword practice unity of man and sword, you can easily defeat an opponent who doesnt know how to use internal energy with a single sword strike to their throat. After all, even someone with strong internal energy cannot withstand the sharpness of a sword!" Ji Yichuan said slowly.

  Ji Ning naturally understood these principles.

  A sturdy fool meets a skilled short sword killer and dies in an instant!

  Having a strong body is only one aspect, while technique determines how much can be played out! Like some boxing and sanda in the previous world, the physical quality of those top athletes was actually similar, and more depended on techniques, combat strategies and so on.

  "You tell me, what do you want to learn?" Ji Yichuan looked at his son.

  "Ning Er, think carefully." Yu Chi Xue also looked at his son.

  They actually had plans for their son a long time ago... After all, in their opinion, their son was too young, and even if he was clever from a young age, how much could he understand? However, they still asked their son to think things through for himself, and then they would express their own thoughts, letting their son grasp the difference.

  "I want to learn three things," said Ji Ning suddenly.

  "I want to learn archery!" Ji Ning said.

  I am a cultivator of the Divine Demon Body Refining Stream, possessing astonishing eyesight and boundless power. Of course, I will use bows and arrows... With divine demon-like strength, shooting out arrows that are absolutely supersonic, their might is probably more terrifying than the heavy sniper rifles of my past life. A single arrow can attack enemies from afar, and according to what Ive learned from reading books, learning archery isnt particularly difficult.

  "Two, I want to learn swordsmanship, dual swords!" Ji Ning said.

  Jis greatest skill is swordsmanship!

  Father Ji Yichuan, also known as Dripping Water Sword. With such a good resource, he naturally had to learn swordsmanship!

  "Double Swords?" Ji Yichuan furrowed his brow, "Continue speaking."

  "Third, I want agility and footwork, the art of escaping." Ji Ning said, "Thats all."

  When you encounter a strong enemy, you must be able to escape!

  Only those with strong survival skills can live longer. And living longer means having more possibilities.

  Wei Chi Xue smiled: "What Ning Er said is roughly correct, but I think its better for you to practice with a single sword... The entire Ji family doesnt have a single master of dual swords. When practicing swordsmanship, the most important thing is not to divide your attention. You must focus your mind on one sword, only then can you achieve great success."

  "What your mother said is right." Ji Yichuan also looked at his son.

  "Dad, Mom, Ive been able to multitask since I was a kid." Ji Ning looked up at his parents, he couldnt explain the matter of the "Nuwa Diagram" so he could only attribute it to being born with the ability to do two things at once.

  "What?!"

  "One mind, two uses?"

  Ji Yichuan and Wei Chixue were shocked.

  "Do you know what it means to have one mind and two uses?" Ji Yichuan said in a low voice, "Its not just about doing things with a divided attention, but rather the mind thinking of two things at the same time without any interference between them."

  "I can really focus on two things at once." Ji Ning said repeatedly.

  "Then try it." Ji Yichuans eyes burst with an astonishing light, and with a single flip of his hand, two grayish-white stones appeared. "Use these two stones to write on the ground, write your mothers name with your left hand, and my name with your right hand, at the same time!"

  "Yes, Father." Ji Ning nodded.

  Ji Ning held two greyish-white stones, feeling a bit like the limestone of his past life. He immediately began writing with one in each hand, and found that these stones were very comfortable to write with.

  Wow! Wow!

  With his left and right hands writing simultaneously with ease, he wrote out the ancient and complex logograms of this world. On one hand, he wrote "Ji Yichuan", while on the other, he wrote "Wei Chi Xue". The strokes were perfectly ordered, effortless and carefree.

  "Ning Er, you..." Wei Chi Xue was shocked stiff.

  "This..." Ji Yichuan was also shocked.

  "No wonder, no wonder the Chi Ming Jiu Tian Tu cultivation was so fast." Ji Yichuan said slowly, "It turns out that my sons soul is strong enough to use his heart in two ways!"

  Ji Yichuan looked at his son, as if looking at a peerless jade, extremely excited: "I have cultivated until now, only to be able to use one mind for two purposes. But I was always focused on one sword from childhood... My heart is already set! The path cannot be changed! And my son can use one mind for two purposes since childhood... This is a natural talent that should be used with dual swords, the two swords are like two people working together, making the enemy feel as if they are being attacked by two opponents at once, and these two opponents are in perfect sync, their strength increased tenfold!"

  "Starting tomorrow, Ill teach you sword fighting myself!" Ji Yichuan said to his son.

  ……

  The next morning

  The dense heavenly energy made the sky and earth misty, and Ji Ning had already been taken to the martial arts training grounds by his father.

  "Ji Ning." Ji Yichuan looked at his son and pointed to a burly, bearded man wearing animal hide beside him. "This is the number one divine archer of the Western Ji Manor, Meng Yu. His archery skills are extremely high. Meng Yu, let this young fellow open his eyes wide for a moment."

  "Yes." Mo Yu replied respectfully.

  Ji Yichuan walked directly to the four stone mills placed in front, each weighing hundreds of catties. He casually picked up one of the stone mills and threw it far away with a whoosh. Immediately after, he grabbed another stone mill and threw it out. In the blink of an eye, all four stone mills flew whizzing towards the distance.

  Hundreds of kilograms of four grinding discs flew out in succession, whizzing through the air like four artillery shells, instantly turning into a black dot in the sky.

  "Drink." The big-bearded Mongol suddenly produced a large, dark-colored bow in his hand, and his hand grasped four arrows. He drew the bowstring taut.

  Pffft! Pffft! Pffft! Pffft!

  Four arrows flashed with silver light, and in an instant they had disappeared, catching up to the four grinding wheels that had turned into black dots. Boom boom boom boom!!!! The four black dots completely vanished from sight.

  Ji Ning stared in amazement.

  Stunned for a long time...

  "The father threw a stone mill of several hundred kilograms, throwing it one or two kilometers away? Like a shell!" Ji Ning was shocked in his heart, "This Mongolian bow and arrow, feels like a blink of an eye, less than a second, has already reached one or two kilometers away. Strictly calculated... this bow and arrow is at least over 2,000 meters per second."

  "The legendary great god Hou Yi once shot nine golden crows with nine arrows." Meng Yu laughed, "Young master, this is just a trivial skill of mine."

  "Master Meng Yu, wont the stone mill fall down and hit someone?" Ji Ning suddenly thought of it and asked.

  Ji Yichuan shook his head beside him: "Ji Ning, your Master Meng Yu is already a congenital spiritual being. The true yuan infused arrow shot at that stone mill, of course, would turn the stone mill into powder and float down... how could it hit people?"

  Ji Ning was secretly shocked.

  Awesome.

  "Starting from today, you will practice archery with your teacher Meng Yu for one hour every morning." Ji Yichuan said, "Consider it as part of your morning training, Meng Yu, thank you."

  "Its an honor for me to teach you, young master." Meng Yu laughed.

  Ji Yichuan nodded and turned around to leave.

  The entire martial arts arena was quiet, with only Meng Yu and Ji Ning present, not a single servant in sight.

  "Gongzi." Meng Yu looked at Ji Ning, "For an archer, the bow and arrow are crucial. The arrow is divided into three parts: the arrowhead, the arrow shaft, and the arrow fletching, while the bow mainly consists of the bow body and the bowstring. Arrows can be mass-produced, but bows are precious!"

  "Bows are divided into two kinds."

  "The first type of bow is composed of an elastic bow body and a resilient bowstring. When drawing the bow, the bow body bends... The power is stored in the bow body to produce elasticity. This is the most common and ordinary type of bow and arrow, relatively easy to make, and generally used by ordinary archers."

  "The second type of bow is made up of a sturdy bow body and an elastic bowstring. When drawing the bow, the bow body remains stable like a frame, while the bowstring stretches to store energy and produce an astonishing force, just like this bow in my hand!"

  Meng Yu handed the large bow with a blackened hand to Ji Ning.

  Ji Ning took over the ancient and simple great bow, and suddenly felt a weight, this great bow weighed at least hundreds of pounds. He couldnt help but examine it carefully, the body of the bow was made of a dark metal, very shiny. The bowstring was about the thickness of a finger, with a greenish tint, and an aura of dread surrounded it.

  "This bow is forged from the iron of thunder and lightning, incredibly resilient. The bowstring is even more precious... its made from a section of dragon tendon from a giant dragon demon, possessing astonishing elasticity. Even if my strength were to increase tenfold, I wouldnt dare try to break this bow." Meng Yu smiled, "Ill name it the Thunder Dragon Bow."

  Ji Yichuans eyes lit up, the dragon tendon of the Jiaolong Great Demon as a string?

  "Come on, lets start with your posture first." Meng Yu flipped his hand, and a common bow appeared in his hand.

  "Stationary shooting, crouching shooting, back shooting, jumping shooting, running shooting!" Meng Yu looked at Ji Ning, "Young master learns archery, divided into two stages. One is the foundation stage, and the other is the heart arrow stage."

  "The foundation stage is to achieve hand arrival, eye arrival, and arrow arrival under the basic five forms, and it must be done with 100% accuracy in order to proceed to the next stage."

  "The Heart Arrow stage doesnt require a pose, just heart arrives, arrow arrives, dont use your eyes to look, thats too slow, must rely on the heart! Instantly draw the bow and shoot the arrow at the target, as fast as lightning. At the truly critical moment, the crucial opportunity is only an instant, it wont let you slowly aim. When youve practiced the Heart Arrow stage, you can be considered a master."

  Ji Ning nodded in agreement.

  Immediately began following Mongyus guidance, first learning the correct posture.

  "Spine straight! Left arm stretched out!"

  "Pulling the bowstring in that posture, its fixed there!"

  "Eyes! Eyes! Have you gone blind?"

  At first, he taught seriously, but Meng Yu started yelling. Ji Ning, who didnt understand anything, was like a blank sheet of paper, being yelled at repeatedly, and could only endure and learn slowly.

  A towering building rises from the ground, even a skilled archer had to learn to walk before running.
