Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint-Chapter 308 - 36: Hard Practice in Archery, The Shock in Xie Xiaojiu’s Heart!_2

Chapter 308 -36: Hard Practice in Archery, The Shock in Xie Xiaojiu’s Heart!_2

“If I get a chance to find the Black Mountain Army, I’ll annihilate them all, a perfect opportunity to test my current archery skills, as well as a chance to earn a hefty sum of Contribution Points.”

Jiang Ning murmured to himself.

According to his previous understanding,

destroying the Black Mountain Army would award a Ninth Grade Martial Artist fifty Contribution Points.

An Eighth Grade Martial Artist would receive five hundred points.

A Seventh Grade Martial Artist would earn five thousand points.

A Sixth Grade Martial Artist would rake in fifty thousand points.

As for Fifth Grade, he was not aware,

since martial artists of this level are not commonly found all over the world.

Not to mention that even at its peak, the Black Lotus Sect didn’t have many Martial Artists in the Fifth Grade Inner Strength Realm.

Let alone now.

…

Several days later.

On a deserted island.

Boom—

The arrow flew like a rainbow, tearing through the air.

[Skill Experience Value for Wind Thunder Arrow Skill +1]

[Skill]: Wind Thunder Arrow Skill (Second Limit Breaking 1501/3000) (Trait: Wind and Thunder Breath, Heart’s Archery)

“I’ve surpassed half of the experience points needed!”

Seeing the changes on the panel, Jiang Ning felt quite invigorated.

Over the past few days, aside from spending the entire first day at the Inspection Office to temper his Great Tendon,

he had continued to practice archery on this deserted island from the second day onward.

The third limit breaking of the Wind Thunder Arrow Skill remained the most important matter in Jiang Ning’s eyes.

Subsequently,

Jiang Ning continued drawing the bow and releasing arrows.

These days, he had no idea how many longbows he had snapped, yet each arrow he drew to full draw.

Ordinary longbows like these, costing just a few dozen taels of silver each, were merely consumables to him.

Boom—

Boom—

Boom—

…

As the arrows left the bowstring, they broke the air, kicking up massive waves of qi.

[Experience Value for Wind Thunder Arrow Skill +1]

[Experience Value for Wind Thunder Arrow Skill +1]

[Experience Value for Wind Thunder Arrow Skill +1]

[…]

With each arrow carrying the force of wind and thunder that flew out, his experience points for the Wind Thunder Arrow Skill increased by one.

…

Two days passed once more.

Elsewhere.

Yellow Heaven Sect’s base.

“Master Liu, have you discovered who was responsible for that night’s deed?” the middle-aged woman asked as soon as Liu Linmen appeared.

Liu Linmen shook his head: “I’ve used the Heavenly Eye to investigate all the Four Great Commanders and both Deputy Commanders, but found no signs.”

“Could it be that the local king you mentioned didn’t leave a mark?” the middle-aged woman inquired.

“Impossible!” Liu Linmen shook his head again, continuing, “That local king can venture out with his Yin God and travel thousands of miles at night; getting to Luoshui County is just a matter of an hour’s time. Since he agreed to the task, he certainly wouldn’t speak carelessly.”

After that, Liu Linmen added, “There are still two people I haven’t investigated, and it’s highly likely that one of them was the villain that night.”

“Who are these two people?” the middle-aged woman asked.

“Jiang Ning, Tang Miaomiao.”

“Jiang Ning? Master Liu, didn’t you see him last night?” the middle-aged woman said with a look of surprise.

She was aware that Liu Linmen had gone out last night to secretly spy on Jiang Ning and to check if the Yin God of the local king had marked him.

Liu Linmen shook his head at this time: “I didn’t. He wasn’t at home last night.”

“Then I suspect it’s Jiang Ning!” the middle-aged woman said with a stern look.

“It’s hard to say!” Liu Linmen shook his head: “Tang Miaomiao requested leave to go home a few days ago, perhaps to avoid something.”

The middle-aged woman said, “But to my knowledge, Tang Miaomiao is not skilled at archery, but at the Sword Dao.”

“I’ve also not heard that Jiang Ning is skilled at archery,” Liu Linmen asserted.

His instincts didn’t want the culprit to be Jiang Ning, because then he’d have to confront Jiang Ning.

He didn’t want to face such a terrifyingly gifted individual.

The more he learned about Jiang Ning’s past, the more apprehensive he became.

In just a few months, Jiang Ning had evolved from an ordinary person with no combat skills to a top talent listed on the Hidden Dragon List.

Even thinking about it was frightening.

Given his insights, he suspected that Jiang Ning must either be reincarnated or possessed.

Otherwise, Jiang Ning’s transformation was simply beyond his understanding.

And because of this, he instinctively didn’t want to confront Jiang Ning or become enemies with him.

Once enemies, he wasn’t sure how to handle the matter.

If they became enemies, how should he deal with it?

A rash attack, no matter how cleanly executed, could never be concealed from the heavens or the earth.

The Inspection Office had numerous ways to find the real murderer.

When the time came, he would have nowhere to hide in the heavens or on earth.

As an Incense Master in the Yellow Heaven Sect, he had encountered many significant figures and witnessed many magical methods.

Like the local king who communicated with him that night, capable of traveling thousands of miles at night with the Yin God, consulting with ghosts and deities, he would be aware of everything that happened in a certain place.

No matter how covert the method, it would be known to the heavens and the earth.

That local king had his methods, and so did the experts in the Inspection Office, some of whom possessed Ancient Immortal Skills and Divine Skills.

This was also likely true of one of the sect’s Heavenly Kings.

They could, from thousands of miles away, directly employ the Curse Killing Skill.

Because of this, he was very resistant to the idea of making the Inspection Office his enemy.

To say nothing of his belief that Jiang Ning was much more complex than he appeared to be.

If he truly was the reincarnation of some legendary figure who had awakened his previous wisdom, it would be even harder to kill him based on his strength alone.

Like the rumors about the Buddha’s son and the Daoist, one claimed to be a reincarnation of Buddha, and the other claimed to be a reincarnation of the Daoist Ancestor.

Among these two, the Buddha’s son had manifested a Buddha from his brow at the brink of death.

Great Sun Tathagata.

The Buddha figure towered hundreds of feet tall.

With a single palm, he flattened a mountaintop and also vanquished a demon sect Grandmaster who had a tremendous reputation in the world.

Some say it was a life-saving method left behind for the reincarnated by Buddha himself.

This explanation was the most accepted by the world.

Thus, Liu Linmen instinctively didn’t want to become enemies with Jiang Ning, no matter what.

His breadth of experience over these past few months, much wider than many others, gave him insights into the implications contained within.
