Courage Longbow The golden bow glimmered under the sunlight, its raised vine patterns resembling vibrant life, layered and intertwined, as if ready to ensnare the enemy's throat for a lethal strike.
The young warrior standing with the bow had a straight back, gazing ahead with unwavering focus. At the moment of drawing the bow, his previously sharp aura intensified, becoming almost tangible in its coldness, suffocating those around him.
This was hardly the presence one would expect from a beginner!
Xiar widened his eyes, the shock within him rendering him completely dazed.
Jeni suppressed her surprise, her fondness for the charming fellow elevating to new heights, even catching Hawson's attention from afar.
This frail adventurer possessed an aura of ferocity and bloodlust that could only be forged on the battlefield!
It was a familiar state for every warrior—reckless, deadly attacks fueled by sheer willpower and determination.
Back in the novice village, while discussing archery techniques with Huo Suixin, she had mentioned that compared to her, he lacked a certain reckless bravery and impulsiveness. With an arrow in mind and an arrow in hand, unity of heart and spirit was essential for a novice warrior.
Her own ferocity stemmed from five years spent evading pursuers on the battlefield, nearly drowning in blood.
The one most familiar with slaughter was her.
At that time, her eyes held nothing but hatred; the overwhelming stench of blood clung to her, instilling fear in others. Few dared to befriend her; even comrades-in-arms abandoned her for their own interests. In the end, she stood alone, forsaken by all, resolutely embarking on a path of vengeance without regret until death.
In this life, from the moment she awoke, she had already determined the path she would take—just as in her previous life, unwavering until death.
All she wished for was the health and safety of her loved ones and a life free of troubles.
Lowering her eyelids, she gathered her thoughts, and when she raised her gaze again, the Thousand Sails had passed. A sudden surge of Combat Intent radiated from her, making her eyes shine even brighter under the scattered golden light.
“Whoosh—”
The Black Iron Arrow sliced through the air with a chilling sound, shooting straight towards a Target twenty-five yards away.
“Thud—”
It struck true at the center.
The gleaming Arrow Tip pierced through the target by four inches, a full inch more than it had at Zhao Hunter's place.
Suddenly, an arrow filled with murderous intent shot in from the left side with Rapid Fire!
Its speed was like lightning, leaving everyone no time to react.
Some wore smirks of schadenfreude, while others remained Expressionless, indifferent to the unfolding situation.
“Saru, what are you doing!”
Jeni shouted, her eyes filled with coldness and Killing Intent, which only drew a sneer from Saru.
“Jeni, why are you so worked up? It’s just a game after all; these Outsiders are Immortal Bodies—”
"Mm-hmm—"
"Puff—"
"Bang—"
Before the words were finished, an arrow shot from Rapid Fire shattered another arrow just five yards away.
At the same time, a Black Iron Arrow was embedded in Saru's shoulder, its fletching still quivering.
-65
The level difference of Level meant that Yan Yan's attack caused only negligible damage, but this strike was undoubtedly a slap across Saru's face.
"Hawson, what are you doing—!"
Saru clutched his arm, not immediately directing his anger at the weak ant, but instead glaring furiously at the person who had shot down his arrow. When did this big guy start meddling so much? Damn—
"You're too loud."
With an evident irritation on his dark face, Hawson casually plucked the bowstring, his calm warning causing a momentary pause in the air.
"Hmph—it's none of your business that we're teaching the newcomer a lesson."
With a defiant remark, he fixed his dark gaze on the audacious Outsider who dared to provoke him.
"I won't interfere with teaching the newcomer, but—" His voice dropped, and an overwhelming aura of Intimidation radiated from him. The intense pressure made everyone present lower their heads instantly. Saru gritted his teeth, struggling to maintain eye level, his anger palpable.
"Saru, it's not your place to teach the newcomer!"
Jeni stood protectively in front of Yan Yan, his shortened leg causing him to lean awkwardly, yet it did nothing to diminish the warrior's imposing presence.
"Jeni, are you really going to meddle too?"
The threatening tone was laced with an undeniable authority. As a fellow Five-Star Archer, Jeni's path as a warrior had come to a halt, while Saru's future held limitless possibilities. With that thought, Saru's disdain and contempt deepened. He casually pulled an arrow from his arm and tossed it aside, striding closer to Jeni with a murderous expression.
"Are you sure you want to go against me, cripple?"
"Saru, don't get too arrogant!"
As he noticed Saru's subordinates slowly encircling them, Jeni tightened his grip on the Longbow. The veins on the back of his hand bulged as he pressed his lips together tightly, revealing deep-seated resentment and fury.
"Senior Jeni," a voice came from behind, calm yet now tinged with coldness and malice, "it's my honor to challenge the strength of a Five-Star Warrior today."
The words carried a heavy implication that sent a chill down Xiar's spine, stirring an ominous premonition in his heart.
Quietly slipping away unnoticed, he prepared to find Master Niru to restore order.
"Hahaha, an ignorant Outsider thinks they can challenge me," Saru's derisive laughter drew a chorus of mocking laughter from his subordinates, who jeered at the clueless Outsider. "You don’t really think that the crippled Jeni will protect you, do you? Let me tell you, that dead cripple can barely protect herself!"
His dark gaze fixated on Jeni, all the anger he had just taken out on Hawson was now directed at her.
"Saru, don't go too far. Ripping off the mask benefits no one. Don't forget, this is the training ground of the Bow and Arrow Alliance."
The warning tone did not catch Saru's attention; his mocking gaze fell on Jeni. "What’s wrong? Are you scared? If you're afraid and want me to let you go, it’s not impossible. All you have to do is—" He pointed suggestively at his own groin, spitting out insulting words from his yellowed teeth. "Just crawl over to me, call me 'Grandpa' three times, and hand over that Outsider behind you for us to deal with. Then we’ll let you go. How does that sound?"
With a flicker of his eyes, a group of men encircling them suddenly raised their bows, the cold gleam of Arrow Tips aimed directly at Jeni and Yan Yan.
At a single command from him, the two would be turned into pincushions.
"Saru, don’t push your luck! Even if it means fighting to the death today, I won’t let you off—"
"Fine! Then come!" His eyes turned cold as he swung his uninjured right hand. "Shoot!"
"Wait!"
The chilling voice halted the arrows that were about to be released.
"Five-Star Warrior, is it?" Calm's emotionless tone drew everyone's attention to the frail figure stepping out from behind Jeni. She positioned herself slightly sideways in front of Jeni, perfectly blocking Saru's icy glare.
"I just did it, and now I want to challenge a strong opponent," she said casually, running her fingers along the golden bow, her gaze sweeping over the other archers in the vast training ground. "If someone were to attack us here, it would be a disrespect to the entire Archer Alliance," her eyes lingered on the emblem of the Archer Alliance, the meaning behind her words ambiguous.
Saru's gaze followed hers to the metal emblem hanging high above the training ground, his expression tightening, his tone dark as water. "What do you want?"
"How about this: let's make a bet," she said, her slender finger pointing at all the warriors present, her tone suddenly serious. "Let everyone here shoot arrows at us and see who can hold out for three minutes. If I call it off first, then I will agree to all your demands. If not, you will let me and Senior Jeni go."
"Outsider, why do you think I would bet with you?"
Saru's cryptic words made Jeni's heart sink.
"Kid, I don't agree with your proposal. As a Five-Star Warrior, there's no reason for me to protect a starless warrior like you. Besides, there are no warriors who stand behind others and flee without fighting. This battle is between him and me; it has nothing to do with you."
"Senior Jeni, I mean no disrespect to your warrior's honor. It's just that this situation arose because of me. As a qualified archer, I have a responsibility to take on everything. Moreover, I truly want to challenge the strength of a strong opponent. I'm confident in this bet; please trust me."
Her calm gaze remained unchanged, devoid of any ripples, but the deep confidence in her eyes instilled a profound sense of trust.
"The strength of all the archers here is at most Three Stars. Even if you have an Immortal Body, being pierced by countless arrows will still be very painful."
Thinking that this girl intended to rely on her Immortal Body advantage to win the bet filled Jeni with worry and deep regret for his own body.
In his lifetime, if he could not improve his strength, he would face even more humiliation in the future—perhaps even worse than now.
A fleeting shadow of despair crossed his resolute face.
“Jeni Senpai, some people and some things are not as they appear.” Just like this Saru, certified as five stars, yet his true strength is lacking—
“If Saru does not agree to my request, he will inevitably be ridiculed, after all, I am just a mere Starless Archer.”
His tone was neither heavy nor light, but it struck at Saru's inner pain. How dare an insignificant ant challenge him? “Since you are so reckless, I won’t hold back!”
“Everyone, today Saru wishes to witness this wager. Once I achieve victory, I will use this Outsider as my Target! Let her Immortal Body experience the agony of being pierced by a thousand arrows. By then, she will be begging me for mercy, ha ha—”
Surrounded by hundreds of archers and warriors, the pressure from all sides made Saru's heart race.
Hmph, no matter what, this weak Outsider will definitely lose.
His gaze swept over the Outsider standing tall with a calm expression amidst the encirclement. She wore a faintly composed smile, her eyes as tranquil as an ancient well.
“Begin—!”
“Whoosh—”
Countless Arrow Shadows transformed into a torrential Arrow Rain, pouring down.
