Cultivation Simulator: Shocking the Academy-Chapter 523 - 376 He Must Become a Man of Faith in God

Li Xin’s shock was like a tumultuous wave, she could hardly believe her eyes. From the initial practice of archery to finally forming her own unique arrow soul, she spent a full ten years. During these ten years, she went through countless trials and failures before finally comprehending the true essence of the arrow soul.

The arrow soul is an indescribable feeling, as if at the moment of shooting, one merges with the arrow and the target. In the Soul Power Continent, it is called qi energy, like using mental techniques to lock on the target, aiming with the heart, reaching the realm of "Unity of Man and Sword" that Martial World masters strive for.

On the path of cultivating Yi Arrow Skill, forming an arrow soul is a difficult and mysterious process. Many people, even after a lifetime of effort, may not touch the threshold of the arrow soul. However, once an archery master possesses an arrow soul, their archery will advance by leaps and bounds, with no end in sight. Thus, possessing an arrow soul has become the dream goal of every archery master.

And the man in front of her, Luo Chen, his archery talent has surpassed the imagination of ordinary people. Li Xin could not understand how he comprehended the mysteries of the arrow soul alone without any guidance. If she had not personally witnessed Luo Chen’s transformation before her eyes, she would never believe that this man only started learning archery today.

Yet, the facts were right in front of her. Luo Chen’s progress in Yi Arrow Skill was rapid, seemingly without any particular secret. But upon closer thought, Yi Arrow Skill indeed had an unexpected similarity to Bai Yafei’s technique of using an axe to hit flies. In the realm of soul power’s "stillness," Luo Chen seemed able to lock on distant targets, which coincided with the state within the arrow soul.

What’s more important was Luo Chen’s outstanding calculative ability. By observing Bai Yafei’s technique in hitting flies and combining it with the realm of "stillness" and Gauss’s calculation methods, even in the pitch-black desert, as long as the target moved slightly, he could immediately lock on and make an accurate shooting judgment.

On the vast battlefield, Luo Chen’s figure appeared increasingly tall and upright. His archery, in a very short time, had already demonstrated talents and strength surpassing ordinary people. Li Xin stood by, her eyes sparkling with admiration and approval. She knew well that Luo Chen’s achievement in archery had begun to approach her own realm.

Li Xin’s archery emphasizes the combination of mental lock and experiential judgment. She could quickly lock onto the target with sharp mental awareness and then use her rich experience to anticipate the enemy’s movements. However, Luo Chen displayed an even greater talent. He could not only judge the next action distance through the enemy’s movements but also arrive at more precise conclusions within a very short time. This ability made each of his arrows seem imbued with life, capable of automatically tracking the target until it hit.

Of course, theoretical transcendence does not equate to actual parity. Although Luo Chen has extraordinary talent, in terms of the deep foundation and practical experience in archery, he still cannot compare with Li Xin. Archery requires not just quick eyes and a quick mind, but rich combat experience to back it up. The enemies Luo Chen faced were only some ordinary soldiers, but that did not mean his archery had reached its peak.

In this world, whether on the Soul Power Continent or in the Mage World or the Martial World, there are countless techniques to confuse archers. Some of these techniques can conceal an archer’s presence, while others can create false targets, making it difficult to discern the real from fake. As a novice archer, Luo Chen undoubtedly required a long process of training to lock onto targets amidst these ever-changing disguises.

Nevertheless, even so, Luo Chen’s current archery was already enough to astonish the world. Each of his arrows seemed to carry the power of heaven and earth, easily penetrating the enemy’s defenses. Given time, he would certainly become a great master of archery that would amaze countless people.

As time went on, Luo Chen began to attempt even more challenging archery skills—dual-wielding bows. In Yi Arrow Skill, dual-wielding bows is an exceedingly exquisite archery technique. It requires the archer to be able to control two bows simultaneously, shooting alternately with both hands, demanding not only speed but also extremely high accuracy. In past generations of renowned generals, those who mastered this skill were undeniably heroic figures undefeated in a hundred battles.

Luo Chen took a deep breath and steadied his mind. He held a longbow in his left hand and another slightly shorter bow in his right. Both bowstrings had been drawn tight by him, ready to release two arrows simultaneously at the order. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

His gaze became increasingly determined and focused, as if the whole world had reduced to just the two targets before him. He silently counted the rhythm in his heart and then suddenly released both hands. The two sharp arrows shot forth almost simultaneously, streaking like meteors toward the distant targets.

"Swish! Swish!" Two sounds of piercing air rang out, and the two sharp arrows accurately hit the two targets Luo Chen had preset. At this moment, the entire battlefield seemed to fall silent, with everyone awed by Luo Chen’s dual-wielding bow technique.
