Gus wanted to vomit.
His face was pale, and he was drenched in cold sweat. His ears buzzed as if he was being slapped by Qin Yi, who was as bloody as a ghost.
Gus and Qin Yi had no grudges against each other, and they could be considered good friends.
This was because both of them had weak bodies and lacked the strength to truss up a chicken. They were trash on the path of the iron fist.
In the Iron Fist School, Gus was the last place for ten thousand years. He was unshakably last.
Qin Yi was second to last, Gus's brother in the same boat.
Moreover, Qin Yi did save Gus yesterday.
Yesterday afternoon, Gus went to Black Wind Mountain outside the town to cultivate.
He never cultivated with others because he did not want to be mocked. He had always been alone.
Black Wind Mountain was so close to Red Gold Town. The birds and ferocious beasts on the mountain had long been killed by the powerhouses in the town. There should not have been any danger.
Who knew that when he arrived at the col yesterday, a fierce tiger with a white forehead and white eyes appeared out of nowhere and pounced on Gus with a roar.
At the critical moment, a sharp arrow whizzed into the tiger's head, directly blowing through its skull and exploding from its eye socket.
The tiger fell dead in front of Gus.
Still in shock, Gus looked at the bushes beside him and saw Qin Yi standing up as well.
Gus never knew that Qin Yi was such an outstanding archer.
Bows and arrows were simple in structure and did not involve too many mechanical structures. They could only be regarded as' tools' and did not belong to the category of 'machinery'.
Therefore, they were only despised and regarded as something that only the old and weak would use. However, they were not banned by the Fist God Temple. They had nothing to do with 'mechanical demons' and 'steam demons'.
Gus himself had a hunting bow hanging on his waist. It was just that his limbs were stiff and he did not have time to take it out.
Qin Yi's expression was very strange. He did not even hear Gus thank him. Instead, he quickly walked to the tiger's corpse and used all his strength to pull out the arrow and hide it.
Also, Gus did not see Qin Yi holding a bow. Since this arrow could penetrate the tiger's hardest skull, it was definitely not weak. Maybe it was a strong bow that was two to three meters long and hundreds of kilograms. Where could it be hidden?
Qin Yi's strange expression, the disappearance of the strong bow, and the arrows that he was in a hurry to hide left a deep impression on Gus.
That night, Gus's uncle, Lei Lie, the priest of the Fist Temple of Pure Gold, called Gus home for dinner. Seeing that Gus was sweating profusely and had many bruises on his body, Lei Lie asked him what had happened.
As the Priest of the Fist God Palace, Lei Lie was the best Great Fist Master in the area.
He had once stood shoulder to shoulder with Gus's father, Glenn. They were known as the two heroes of Red Gold Town.
Ever since his parents passed away, his uncle had become Gus's most respected and trusted elder.
In front of his uncle, Gus could not resist at all. He honestly told him about how he met a tiger on the mountain, especially about Qin Yi's sudden and powerful arrow.
"I really didn't expect Qin Yi's archery skills to be so powerful. He probably felt that he couldn't improve on the path of the iron fist and could only practice such small tricks.
"That bow of his is also very mysterious. He doesn't want to let me see it. It seems that he also thinks that archery is not something to be proud of. Uncle, you must not tell his family, otherwise, they will definitely scold him. When he turns around, he will blame me."
Archery was a small path.
Only people who had completely lost confidence in their fists would practice archery.
When they were on the mountain, Qin Yi also begged Gus not to tell him about using a bow. Gus agreed at that time.
However, his uncle's aura was irresistible. As soon as he said that, Gus regretted it. He could only try to make up for it.
However, his uncle's expression became very strange.
He comforted Gus gently and celebrated his escape from the tiger's mouth. At the same time, he calmly asked Qin Yi about the details of the arrow, including the angle from which the arrow entered the tiger's skull, how deep it went, and whether it went through the skull and came out of the eye socket.
Gus was too frightened to remember many details. His uncle did not say anything. He only said that Gus was injured and frightened today and that he should sleep at home for the night and let his two cousins accompany him.
After his parents passed away, Gus often stayed at his uncle's house. This was not strange.
Who knew that in the middle of the night, he would hear the sound of the sky cracking.
Then, his uncle's news came from the Fist God Palace.
Qin Yi was arrested.
They even found a very sophisticated crossbow under his bed.
Bow and crossbow were only different in one word, but they were worlds apart. The former was a 'tool' while the latter was a 'machine'.
They were caught with the goods. The case was iron-clad.
On second thought, it made sense. Qin Yi's two arms were almost the same as Gus'. Even if they were given the best bow and tied up a tiger for them to shoot, they probably would not be able to shoot through the tiger's head. They might not even be able to pull the bowstring.
Only a crossbow that used the evil power of machines could shoot instantly and kill the tiger in one shot.
"Gus, you have done a good job. The evil followers who believe in machines and the power of steam had just reached out their evil claws to our Red Gold Town, but you discovered it in time.
"Look, the sky is cracking. It is obvious that the evil followers are preparing to do something big around the Red Gold Town. That is why the air is so foul and the people are angry.
"Thanks to your vigilance and reporting to me immediately, a catastrophe might have been avoided.
"Such a great contribution is worth at least ten 'Body Casting Pills' that can completely change your fate.
"When the sun rises tomorrow, we will have a public trial and tell the townspeople about your contribution. By then, even if you are my nephew, I will reward you with the Body Casting Pills on behalf of the Fist God Palace. No one will say anything about it!"
His uncle seemed to be very happy.
Gess knew that his uncle was worried sick about his good-for-nothing nephew. Only the Body Casting Pill could change his good-for-nothing physique. However, each Body Casting Pill required the essence of hundreds of ferocious beasts to be refined. It was extremely precious and belonged to the Fist Godly Palace. Even though his uncle was a priest, he couldn't use it for his own personal use.
This time, his uncle finally found a reason to give him the Body Casting Pills. In his words, he finally did not let his father down.
Gus dreamed of being reborn and truly stepping on the path of the Iron Fist.
However, he did not do it in such a way … to betray his brother who had saved his life.
Regardless of whether Qin Yi was a member of the evil path or not, he had saved his life after all. If Qin Yi had really wanted to escape at that time, the ferocious tiger that had already pounced on Gus and was about to have a good meal might not have gone after Qin Yi, right?
Thinking of this, Gus, who was surrounded by a sea of people and pierced by Qin Yi's fierce gaze, was about to cry.
Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!
The sound of gongs and drums came from the Fist God Palace.
Gus' uncle, the priest of the Fist God Palace, Lei Lie, strode forward. His bald head was glowing, and his black robe moved without wind.
