Chapter 195: Gale Thunder Archery, Perfection!

Chapter 195: Gale Thunder Archery, Perfection!

Several days had passed.

Jiang Ning drew his bow and pulled the string, aiming at the lake's surface.

In an instant.

The bowstring was pulled to its limit.

Suddenly.

With a loud crash, his fingers released the string, and the bow vibrated, producing a deafening explosion.

The air was filled with visible white mist.

The next moment.

A thunderous roar echoed as the arrow pierced the air, creating a series of white waves.

The waves spread across the lake, splitting the water and creating a path.

The ripples continued to expand, following the arrow's trajectory.

A moment later.

The arrow had already traveled two miles.

However, the arrow continued to produce a thunderous roar, tearing through the air and creating white waves.

After another moment, the arrow finally lost its ability to break the sound barrier, and its kinetic energy began to decrease.

One more moment passed.

The arrow slanted into the water.

[Name]: Jiang Ning

[Source Energy]: 15.3

[Skill]: Gale Thunder Archery (Perfection 1/2000)



"Amazing!!" Jiang Ning exclaimed, looking at the interface in awe.

This was the power of Gale Thunder Archery after reaching perfection. He had pulled the bowstring to its limit for the first time, unleashing an unprecedented force.

Breaking the sound barrier.

This alone had already surpassed the terrifying effect of Cao Rong's archery.

Moreover, his arrow had maintained its ability to break the sound barrier for a longer duration than Cao Rong's.

"This is the power of perfected Gale Thunder Archery, the effect of the Gale Thunder Force?" Jiang Ning wondered in his mind.

Since mastering Gale Thunder Archery, he had discovered that he possessed the Gale Thunder Force mentioned in the technique.

It was this unique force that created the terrifying effect of Gale Thunder Archery.

As Gale Thunder Archery continued to improve, the Gale Thunder Force grew stronger.

Now that Gale Thunder Archery had reached perfection, the Gale Thunder Force had become unimaginably powerful.

It was this force that was infused into the arrow, creating such a devastating effect.

According to the records of Gale Thunder Archery, the arrow could maintain the Gale Thunder Force for a duration depending on the force's strength.

Currently, his Gale Thunder Force could last for up to two breaths.

Within this time, the arrow would explode with a thunderous roar, creating a massive shockwave.

It was as if the sky was filled with thunder, and the earth was shaking.

This was the origin of the "thunder" in Gale Thunder Archery.

"Middle-tier martial arts are indeed far superior to lower-tier martial arts!" Jiang Ning thought to himself, having experienced the perfected Gale Thunder Archery.

Suddenly.

He drew his bow again.

As the bowstring reached its limit.

Crack!

The wooden bow suddenly snapped in two.

Jiang Ning looked at the broken bow in his hand and shook his head.

"It seems I've ruined another bow!"

He casually discarded the broken bow.

In the past few days, he had destroyed several bows in this manner.

The ordinary longbow couldn't withstand his intense pulling force.

Especially with his current strength, he would cause irreparable damage to the bow if he used too much force.

Jiang Ning felt that if he had a better bow and arrows, infused with the perfected Gale Thunder Force, the arrows would be even more terrifying.

He took out another longbow and continued practicing.

Although Gale Thunder Archery had already reached perfection, his goal was not yet achieved.

This technique might be simple, but he could still push it to its limits.

Breaking through the limits would undoubtedly increase the power of Gale Thunder Archery.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

He shot arrow after arrow, each one piercing the air.

His interface continuously displayed notifications.

Looking at the growing experience points, Jiang Ning felt motivated and not tired at all.

The changes and new properties of Gale Thunder Archery after breaking through the limits filled him with anticipation.

The next morning.

Boom!

An arrow pierced the air, and a thunderous roar echoed as it hit a rock, sending shards flying everywhere.

The rock, originally as tall as a person, was now reduced to half its size.

Jiang Ning retrieved his arrow and looked to the side.

He saw Feng Jiuge, her mouth agape and eyes wide with wonder.

"Jiuge, what brings you here?" Jiang Ning asked.

His words snapped Feng Jiuge out of her stunned state.

"Sir, your arrow..." Feng Jiuge started to say, but hesitated, unsure of how to continue.

"What about my arrow?" Jiang Ning asked.

Jiang Ning spoke up.

Feng Jiuge swallowed hard, her eyes wide with amazement. "Astonishing!"

Jiang Ning smiled, neither confirming nor denying her words.

Even before Feng Jiuge had seen him, he had sensed her arrival.

And with this arrow, he slightly restrained himself but intentionally displayed his skills for her to witness.

In recent days, he had been secluded, intensely practicing his archery skills at the Inspection Office.

Although Feng Jiuge was under his command, he couldn't be certain that she wouldn't have other thoughts.

In such a situation, the stronger he revealed his abilities, the more determined Feng Jiuge would be to follow him.

No one wanted to follow a weak leader, one without hope or a promising future.

Jiang Ning, being strong himself, knew that even if he didn't show his face, Feng Jiuge wouldn't easily develop divided loyalties.

He composed himself and said, "Jiuge, you came to me at this time, but is there something urgent at the Inspection Office?"

"No, it's just that you might have forgotten about what you mentioned a few days ago. You wanted to exchange the Canglang Sword Technique for my family's Inferno Spear Technique," Feng Jiuge shook her head and continued.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning suddenly realized what she meant.

He patted his head. "You're right, I did forget. These past few days, I've been so focused on practicing archery that I temporarily forgot about it."

After saying this, Jiang Ning added, "I've brought the manuscript of the Canglang Sword Technique with me."

As he spoke, Jiang Ning reached into his chest and pretended to take out a blue book from within.

On the cover of the book were several large characters.

Canglang Sword Technique

Jiang Ning lightly leaped, and his figure rose into the air, landing a foot above the shore, appearing before Feng Jiuge.

"This is the Middle Realm Martial Arts, the Canglang Sword Technique," he said.

At that moment, Feng Jiuge took the blue book, her eyes filled with curiosity as she looked at Jiang Ning.

When she had arrived earlier, she had noticed that Jiang Ning had signs of having been in the water.

But as soon as she held the book, she knew it wasn't made from waterproof materials.

In such a situation, if Jiang Ning had brought this book into the water, it would have left traces and become stained.

However, she didn't find any water stains on the book.

This made her recall the night a few days ago.

During the raid on Cao Manor, she remembered that Jiang Ning hadn't carried any weapons, yet when the black shadow attacked, Jiang Ning had a long sword in his hand.

After that battle, she had quietly observed him.

At some point, the long sword had disappeared from Jiang Ning's hand.

Now, seeing the peculiarity of the book, her gaze fell on the dark black ring on Jiang Ning's finger.

Feng Jiuge's heart suddenly froze.

Then, she took out a new book from her chest.

"Sir, this is our family's Inferno Spear Technique. Please take a look," Feng Jiuge spoke up.

Jiang Ning took the book from Feng Jiuge and began to flip through it.

He immediately entered a state of deep concentration.

[.]



Feng Jiuge witnessed this, and for a moment, she silently observed Jiang Ning.

[69 Book Bar]



Then, she began to read the Canglang Sword Technique in her hand.

In the blink of an eye.

Half an hour passed.

Jiang Ning slowly closed the book.

[Skills]: Inferno Spear Technique (Unlearned 0/10)



He glanced at his panel and nodded slightly, then directly stored the book about the Inferno Spear Technique in his Sumeru Ring.

He had noticed Feng Jiuge's actions, her subtle expressions, and her gaze, none of which escaped his perception.

He also knew that Feng Jiuge had probably guessed that he possessed a Sumeru Ring, so he no longer bothered to conceal it.

Although the Sumeru Ring was precious, as he had mentioned before, using it required many prerequisites.

One needed spiritual energy to be tangible and projectable, and one also needed to possess so-called divine wisdom or spiritual wisdom.

Therefore, the Sumeru Ring wasn't something that ordinary people could use.

Jiang Ning had also realized that even if someone knew he had a Sumeru Ring, there was no need to worry.

The crime of possessing a treasure was only applicable to true weaklings.

Although he wasn't a strong person now, he had surpassed the category of weakness.

With several divine abilities, a perfected Middle Realm archery, and the strength of a Seventh Stage Martial Dao, he had control over his inner breath.

With all these skills, even a peak Seventh Stage Martial Dao expert like Wang Jin couldn't compare to him.

Moreover, in Jiang Ning's opinion, anyone stronger than him would surely know about the Sumeru Ring and its conditions.

This wasn't a secret; even Feng Jiuge was well aware of it.

As for those who didn't understand and coveted his Sumeru Ring, their strength was likely inferior to his.

For this reason, he had nothing to fear.

Having been guessed by Feng Jiuge, he no longer felt the need to hide it.

However, this scene, as seen through Feng Jiuge's eyes, was one of utter shock.

She had only made a guess in her mind just now, but Jiang Ning's actions now clearly proved her speculation to be true.

"You're actually a person with an immortal root?" Feng Jiuge was shocked beyond words.

Then, she silently thought, "No wonder you have such high natural talent. With an immortal root, in ancient times, you would have the qualifications to become an immortal."

Feng Jiuge was stunned for a moment before regaining her composure.

"Sir, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now?"

"Mhm!" Jiang Ning nodded slightly and said, "If there's anything at the manor, come find me here. I'll continue my cultivation here!"

"Yes, sir!" Feng Jiuge replied.

After Feng Jiuge left.

Jiang Ning took a look at his panel.

【Name】: Jiang Ning

"Gale Thunder Archery is still missing over 300 experience points to meet the first limit-break requirement. Let's focus on gaining experience for this skill!"

With this in mind.

Jiang Ning continued to draw his bow and shoot arrows.

Boom—

Boom—

Boom—

【.】

As he continuously drew his bow and shot arrows, the experience points for Gale Thunder Archery also increased.

In the blink of an eye.

It was already afternoon.

Boom—

【Gale Thunder Archery Experience +1】

An arrow was released, and the experience points for Gale Thunder Archery increased once again.

【Skills】: Gale Thunder Archery (Perfect 2000/2000)



"Finally, it's full! Now I just need Origin Energy points. If I'm not mistaken, the first limit-break for middle-tier martial arts requires 100 Origin Energy points, just like the Five Animal Fist."

"As long as I reach 100 Origin Energy points, I can complete the first limit-break for Gale Thunder Archery!" Jiang Ning thought to himself.

【Origin Energy Points】: 18.5

"I still need over 80 points. This isn't difficult; I just need to buy some heavenly materials and consume them!"

【Skills】: Canglang Sword Technique (Mastery 151/1000)



Inferno Spear Technique (Uninitiated 0/10)



Then, he took another look at his panel.

"No rush. I'll wait until I reach perfection in Canglang Sword Technique and Inferno Spear Technique, and after my strength improves, I'll prepare for this!"

After making up his mind.

Jiang Ning stored the longbow in his Sumeru Ring and leaped into the water with a splash.

Once underwater, Jiang Ning felt like a fish in water, his entire body relaxed, and he entered a state of complete relaxation.

The next moment.

He swam like a dragon, swiftly darting through the water.

This speed was no slower than his speed on land.

Especially underwater, within a radius of one li, all changes were clearly reflected in his mind.

It seemed as if everything was under his control.

"This is too cool!"

This feeling of complete control was like having an omniscient perspective, giving Jiang Ning an overwhelming sense of security.

Such control gave him a tremendous sense of safety.

This sense of security was even greater than on land.

"Underwater is my strongest form!" Jiang Ning thought.

A moment later.

He reached the dark reefs of the deserted island.

Due to the unique terrain, the waves were rough.

The water's surface was turbulent, and underwater, hidden currents surged, constantly crashing against the reefs, creating splashes of foam.

Arriving here, Jiang Ning instantly recalled the river dragon, Tian Buyi.

He had been practicing his sword here when he happened to meet the injured Tian Buyi.

From Tian Buyi, he had obtained a stroke of fortune.

Two Leopard Prenatal Transformation Pills.

"Speaking of which, I have achieved so much today, and Tian Buyi's help was quite significant!"

"Now, I wonder what attitude Medicine King Valley has towards me. Have they fully investigated that it was me?"

Jiang Ning pondered this for a moment.

Then, he shook his head and chuckled.

"Forget it!"

"Thinking about this is pointless!"

"Now, I'll face whatever comes my way. As long as I have the strength, Medicine King Valley can't pose a significant threat to me!"

After making up his mind.

Jiang Ning began to adjust his state.

He started practicing his sword in the water.

【Canglang Sword Technique Experience +1】

As he practiced his sword here, the experience points for Canglang Sword Technique kept increasing!"
