"Sir, when you took the bow, did no one tell you that it was an abandoned, defective bow?" The celestial beauty could not help but ask in surprise.
The bows on the table were actually defective. The quality of the materials, the bowstring, the accuracy, and so on had serious problems. They had been discarded to the side, ready to be disposed of.
But this youth had used this bow to hit the target a hundred meters away five times in a row. It was really strange!
With a trace of doubt, the celestial beauty shot an arrow with this bow. In the end, her archery skills were not bad, but she had missed the target!
A row of black lines appeared on Su Yu's forehead. Which b * stard placed the defective goods there?
"Try using my bow." The white-clothed woman took down a fiery red bow hanging from her shoulder.
The bow was made of good material. It was fiery red. From afar, it looked like a burning flame, like red jade.
Holding it in his palm, a faint heat was transmitted to his palm. It was the bow itself and the residual warmth of the celestial beauty's hand.
"A good bow." Although he did not know how to appraise bows, his intuition told him that this bow was very good.
With anticipation, he tried to draw the bow, but found that the bow did not require much arm strength. It was especially suitable for Su Yu, whose body was not strong, or for women.
He focused his mind and focused all of his energy. His crystalline pupils revolved and he could see the red heart clearly from a hundred meters away.
Whoosh —
A loud and clear sound pierced through the air, bringing with it a sharp sound, piercing through the archery training ground.
Dong —
An iron arrow had hit the bullseye! And it was the center, the bullseye the size of an eyeball!
Shooting an arrow a hundred meters away was nothing more than this!
The celestial beauty showed an expression of "I knew it" and was immediately surprised. "It is really the problem with the bow. In just an hour, you went from being ignorant to shooting an arrow a hundred meters away. It is really surprising!"
Teacher Jiang was also shocked. However, he still felt that Su Yu was a lecher. Perhaps he had long been an archery expert and was pretending to be a newcomer to win the favor of Miss Xia.
But he could not deny that at the age of fourteen or fifteen, he had the archery skill of shooting an arrow a hundred meters away. He could be considered an archery genius.
Su Yu let out a sigh of relief. Shooting an arrow a hundred meters away, he had done it.
"Thank you, fairy. I will take my leave now." Su Yu wanted to speed up his training, so he didn't have the time to care about anything else. So, he returned the bow and arrow to her.
"Young Master Su, if you like this bow, please feel free to take it. The new bow is still being refined in the Weapon Pavilion, so there is no bow for you to choose from." The celestial being was generous, pursing her lips and smiling quietly.
Su Yu was startled. They had never met, but the celestial being had gifted him a precious bow.
This bow was obviously not part of the Weapon Pavilion's collection. It was the personal possession of the celestial being.
Su Yu muttered to himself for a moment, then took the bow with both hands and thanked her sincerely. "I borrowed your bow today, and I will definitely return it in the future. May I know where you live? I will definitely return it when the time comes."
"No need. This bow is for you." The celestial being smiled and left, leaving only a faint fragrance.
Teacher Jiang could not help but sneer, "Brat, know when to stop. This is the first time Miss Xia has given her personal belongings! You're not satisfied with what you have, and you even want to pay her a visit. Save it, she's not someone a low-level student like you can reach. "
Su Yu smiled calmly. He was too lazy to explain the misunderstanding of others.
Regardless of whether it was Attendant Jiang or Teacher Jiang, he hated both of them.
…
Su Yu carried the big bow and entered the back mountain where he often trained.
But he did not stop there. Instead, he went deeper into the mountains.
The martial arts training institute was built on the outskirts of the Twilight Mountains. One could enter the mountains through the back mountain.
There were many wild beasts in the mountains.
Even demonic beasts could appear!
The so-called demonic beasts were wild beasts that lived deep in the mountains. After consuming natural treasures, they would be tempered by the medicinal power to become intelligent and powerful beasts.
Not only were they more intelligent, but they also had powerful innate abilities. They were very dangerous.
Su Yu had two goals for entering the Twilight Mountains.
First, he wanted to improve his abilities through actual combat.
Second, he wanted to hunt wild beasts and demonic beasts to earn money to buy spirit elixirs that could strengthen his muscles and improve his blood energy.
The first three levels of the Five Paths belonged to the "Body Refining Stage," which required the body to be strengthened to a certain degree.
Spirit elixirs were very common body refining elixirs, refined from various rare materials. They were very precious.
Low-grade spirit elixirs cost a hundred taels of silver.
The training institute only distributed one tael of silver every month. Excluding living expenses, there were only a few copper coins left.
A child from a poor family like Su Yu did not have the ability to come into contact with spirit elixirs.
On the other hand, the family disciples had the financial support of their families. Ten thousand taels of silver was not a problem.
As for the gold students, each of them could receive a hundred taels of silver every month.
"They can sit comfortably at home and ask for spirit elixirs as soon as they open their mouths to train their bodies. But I have to enter the deep mountains and forests and fight with wild beasts and demonic beasts!" Su Yu thought of his previous life. That was an era where people depended on their fathers. This world was no different!
"I don't believe that I can't catch up to you even if I work ten times harder!" Su Yu was not willing to admit defeat.
Half a day later, Su Yu stepped into the Twilight Mountains.
"Hiss ~" A weak sound entered his ears.
Su Yu was immediately on guard. He used his crystalline pupils to scan his surroundings.
Suddenly, about ten feet away from Su Yu's feet, a snake with a color similar to that of the fallen leaves slithered toward Su Yu silently.
The snake had a triangular head, a scarlet tongue, and brownish-yellow eyes. It was the world famous Seven Steps Poisonous Snake!
"Ha!" Su Yu's figure was like the wind, his legs like a whip.
Whoosh —
The Seven Steps Poisonous Snake was kicked away like a rope. It crashed into a tree trunk and fainted.
Su Yu dashed over and took out the knife he had prepared. He carefully removed the snake's gallbladder and soaked it in a wine pouch. He then deftly removed the snake's skin and poisonous fangs, carefully wrapping them up and storing the snake meat.
The snake's gallbladder, skin, and poisonous fangs could all be sold for about ten copper coins. The snake meat could be used as rations.
A hundred copper coins could be exchanged for one tael of silver. He had picked up ten copper coins right after entering the mountains. His luck was not bad.
For the next five days, Su Yu flew between the trees.
As he flew, he was like the shadow of a cloud, agile and natural. He was also like a floating duckweed.
His crystalline pupils revolved to the extreme, searching for any beast that could be sold for money along the way.
As night fell, Su Yu hid in a cave beside a small lake. He lit a torch outside the cave to prevent wild beasts from barging in.
"Two Seven Steps Poisonous Snake, five wild rabbits, two pheasants, three ground chickens, two pangolins, one wild wolf, two small wild boars, and one Great Golden Eagle." Su Yu counted his gains over the past five days. He roughly estimated that he could sell them for 1,200 copper coins, which was about 12 taels of silver.
"Sure enough, the experience is rich. I earned the school's annual subsidy in just five days." Su Yu was very satisfied with his gains over the past five days.
But what he was most satisfied with was the changes in his body.
"Tempering oneself is a shortcut to success. These words are indeed true!" After five consecutive days of tireless pursuit, he had unknowingly broken through to Level Two Upper Tier of the Martial Path, not far from the peak.
At the same time, Universal Stroke had been cultivated to Stage Three Lower Tier. Now, he had accumulated eight stacked attacks from his fists and legs.
After cultivating to Stage Three Upper Tier, he could stack them sixteen times. Cultivating to Stage Three Top Class, he could stack them endlessly. His fists and legs would attack endlessly until the enemy could no longer take it.
Cloud Shadow had also made great progress. From Lower Tier to Upper Tier, the speed of his movement technique was comparable to Level Two Peak.
Of course, the Hundred Steps Piercing Arrow had been perfected. Within a hundred steps, there was nothing that it could not hit. The exquisite swordsmanship was comparable to that of an expert archer.
This was all thanks to Su Yu's eyesight. Another reason was that the fiery red bow was of extraordinary quality and was very handy to use.
"I am indebted to the celestial being. When I return this bow, I will definitely repay her." Su Yu gripped the warm fiery red bow, his heart filled with gratitude.
Rustle ~ ~
The sound of the forest shaking could be clearly heard.
It was as if there was a giant creature shaking the forest.
At the same time, a weak human voice could be heard.
Su Yu's expression changed slightly. Could it be that someone was fighting with a powerful beast?
With a flash of light in his eyes, Su Yu extinguished the flames and left in the dark.
With the help of his pupils, the darkness was no different from daytime to him.
Using the Cloud Shadow, he leaped through the forest like the shadow of a white cloud, drifting like duckweed. It was extremely mysterious.
Three minutes later, Su Yu flew to the top of a big tree and hid in the dense forest.
Taking a closer look, Zhang Xuan's expression changed.
Below him was a fiery red python. It was so thick and strong that Su Yu gasped in shock!
It was as thick as a water bucket! It was even stronger than Su Yu's body. Its huge head could probably swallow him in one bite!
What shocked Su Yu the most was that the fiery red python's body was burning with flames. Everywhere it passed, the trees were all burned.
"It's a demonic beast!" Su Yu's pupils shrank.
How could a normal python be covered in flames? Only a demonic beast could do that!
Although this demonic beast was only a Level One demonic beast, its abilities were terrifying. Looking at its appearance, it was already half mature, comparable to a human Level Three Upper Tier. It was far from what Su Yu could handle.
Fortunately, there were three people fighting the fiery red python below.
Among the three, the purple-clothed girl was at Level Three Lower Tier. The petite girl in the light yellow dress and the youth in green were both at Level Two Peak.
The three of them worked together to trap the fiery red python.
"Hurry! Catch this fiery dragon and we'll have money! We can sell it for 1,200 taels of silver! " The petite girl in the light yellow dress was throwing flying needles in the distance. She was scared and excited, shouting loudly.
1,200 taels of silver? Su Yu was excited! That was ten times what he had earned in five days!
But what made Su Yu speechless was that their situation was not looking good.
The purple-clothed girl and the youth guard were pale and physically exhausted. The fiery red python, which was the fiery dragon in Xiao Budian's mouth, was still as powerful as ever.
If this continued, they might even lose their lives.
After all, the fiery dragon was at Level Three Upper Tier, while the purple-clothed girl was only at Level Three Lower Tier. The youth and the petite girl in the light yellow dress were only at Level Two Peak.
Swoosh —
The fiery dragon was slightly intelligent. It seemed to see that the two of them were physically exhausted. Its scarlet eyes flashed with cunning. After dodging the combined attack of the three, its huge tail suddenly rose like a whip, violently lashing left and right.
The earth-shattering force made Su Yu feel suffocated.
The purple-clothed girl and the youth were physically exhausted and could not dodge in time. They immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward, crashing into the bushes and fainting.
The fiery dragon was very cunning. It did not take the opportunity to swallow the two unconscious people. Instead, it opened its bloody mouth and pounced on the petite girl who was still standing, preventing her from escaping.
The petite girl's excited expression froze. She was so scared that she turned around and ran, screaming, "Ah! Xiao Zi, save me, it's biting me... "
