Chapter 57 (2/2)

He was given an arrow right after he asked for one. When Ou Yangming and Yan Haobo noticed Jiang Chengwei, who was smiling at Ou Yangming earnestly, they did not know whether to laugh or to cry.

If Jiang Chengwei knew that it would come to this, he would not have acted the way he did before.

After receiving the arrow, Ou Yangming released his Military Fire without shying away from the others.

Regardless of how his Military Fire changed, even Old Craftsman would not figure out anything, let alone the soldiers who were present. Hence, he was not afraid of showing it to them.

As Ou Yangming’s Military Fire burned, a hint of mental power was also released slowly.

When he first formed and used his mental power, he was unusually exhausted, but after grasping the power, he was able to use it easily.

Ou Yangming controlled his mental power to transfer it into the arrow through his Military Fire.

Next, the Military Fire that merged with his mental fire disappeared as they had been incorporated into the arrow.

If Old Craftsman and the other experienced Military Fire Blacksmiths witnessed this process, they would surely find it odd. This was because the Military Fire disappeared so strangely that it seemed to have entered the piece of equipment instead of being withdrawn by Ou Yangming.

Despite that, the ones who were watching at the moment could not tell the difference.

Ou Yangming handed the arrow back. “Try it, but make sure that everyone stays three steps clear of the arrow.”

Jiang Chengwei’s face changed a little. “Thank you for the reminder, Master Ou.”

Subsequently, he gave an order to the soldiers to clear a huge area. Since it was a warning given by the refinement master, everybody obeyed it.

Jiang Chengwei then placed the arrow on his bow. Instead of aiming properly, he simply pulled and released the arrow. However, Ou Yangming’s eyes glowed upon seeing the movement.

The seemingly simple move somehow had a lingering charm to it.

Similar to the skills used by the fop, who had appeared out of nowhere during the night battle, it was a feeling that resembled nature itself.

Ou Yangming exclaimed to himself. It made sense that Jiang Chengwei, who was an archer, was given the squad leader role because his arrow technique was astonis.h.i.+ng.

Yu Hailiang did not lie at all as only an arrow technique like this could frighten the half-spirit beast.

The arrow shot a rock in a flash.

“Pow…”

It exploded right away, and turned into countless chips that shot out. Of course, around seventy percent of the chips shot in the forward direction.

A deafening sound pierced the air, and everyone was appalled when the sound was finally gone.

The stone was covered in densely packed tiny holes. Based on its hardness, it was impossible for flying iron shards to damage it, but the explosive arrow’s might was far beyond everyone’s imagination.

In fact, even Yan Haobo, who had seen this before, could not help but feel a chill down his spine.

Upon seeing the exceptional arrow, Yan Haobo figured that he would not resist it if he faced it. Moreover, a strange thought crossed his mind at that moment. If arrows like that could be ma.s.s-produced, what was the point of practicing martial arts? If they were shot by the arrow, they would be killed right away if they could not avoid it.

Fortunately, only one person could smith a divine weapon like that.

Yu Hailiang and Jiang Chengwei walked closer to the rock to look at it, and were clearly taken aback. Yu Hailiang sighed after a long time. “Master Ou, if we succeed this time, you’ll be credited the most.”

Jiang Chengwei hesitated for a while, but soon nodded in agreement.

They would not have believed the arrow’s might if they had not seen it, but after witnessing it, they quickly understood how weighty it was.

“Master Ou, please reform the arrows, and incorporate them with the Bewitching Gra.s.s. We’ll definitely kill the Brown Earth Bear this time,” Yu Hailiang mentioned seriously.

Ou Yangming pondered for a while before answering, “Captain Yu, based on my current power, I can only refine five arrows. Will that be enough?”

Jiang Chengwei laughed. “Three arrows will be enough.”

Following that, everyone looked at each other with pa.s.sion and excitement.
