Chapter 476 (2/2)
With the modifications I made to the bow, let’s not mention shooting a leaf from a hundred steps away- I’ll hit it even if it’s three hundred steps away!
Ye Lang’s bow shimmered and glowed golden each time he drew it as if showing off to others that it was no ordinary tool but a high-grade alchemy weapon.
Despite that, the weapon was allowed into the hunting grounds as it was considered a bow as well.
“Hey, are you getting too arrogant with this? Can’t you use an ordinary bow instead?” Athena was a little concerned. This bow, being an alchemy weapon, might arise suspicion.
Ye Lang shook his head. The bow’s alchemy formation could only enhance the user’s strength slightly and cause the arrows to fly further.
In fact, anyone could make this bow with just a few items to increase their firing range and power!
Ye Lang’s skills heavily depended on his cultivation rather than the bow.
“Nine Soaring Phoenixes!”
In an instant, Ye Lang fired nine arrows which seemed to glide like phoenixes in the sky, leaving everyone amazed. Even Li Yue was at a loss for words.
Was he really just a rookie days ago? He can even go against a swordsman with this skill!
Ye Lang’s skills had become superb in the span of just seven days. But unbeknownst to others, he still had many secrets up his sleeve. If they did, they would hail Ye Lang as the Archery God!
Athena was delighted at his improvement. However, she was more concerned about the progress in the plan. The outcome of the plan would be determined by his performance at the Full Moon Festival!
I believe that with a few more encounters at the group hunt and the festival, he can play the hero and save the beauty at some point. Then our work here would be done!
Then again, the future was uncertain.
There was a full moon that night. Legends tell of strange things that happen under the full moon...
“Little fool, are you not going to the Full Moon Festival?” Coldblood Five realized that Ye Lang did not have any intention to move and was only staring at the moon.
“I don’t feel like going…” Ye Lang suddenly said.
“Why?” Coldblood Five felt something strange was on.
“I despise the moon!“ Ye Lang spoke randomly.
“?! What?” Coldblood Five was befuddled. If you hate it, why are you still admiring it? Isn’t it making you feel uncomfortable?
“Raise your head to view the moon, then lower it as you reminisce your hometown… Are you familiar with this verse?”
[T/L note: this is a line from the famous poem Quiet Thoughts by Li Bai used to indicate a longing for one’s hometown.]
“No, and I can’t relate,” Coldblood Five answered indifferently. To her, the two verses were not outstanding despite being written by the mystical poet, Li Bai. Apart from expressing the longing for one’s hometown, she didn’t think it was anything impressive hence she was indifferent.
“It doesn’t matter if you never heard of it or don’t feel anything. It’s fine as long as you understand the meaning!” Ye Lang muttered unceremoniously.
“I understand. Staring at the moon reminds you of home. But as far as I can recall, weren’t you born here?” Coldblood Five said.
