Chapter 126 - I Grew Taller, And Stronger (2/2)

After packing his things, Zhang Che was about to summon the Rotten Ent Prowler whip and get the Purple Jade Condor to bring him away from his creepy island when his gaze suddenly fell on the bow container by his backpack.

-I wonder if I’m able to draw this bow now…-

The moment this idea came to him, it was like a spark landing on the grassfield, slowly spreading, and turned into a blazing flame.

Zhang Che picked up the bow container and opened it, taking the Falling Star Model X out. He felt like he was only holding onto a stalk of wheat, totally different from the heavy, sinking feeling from before.

He grew even more excited. He held the bow up with one hand, drawing out an arrow from the quiver in the other, nocking it on the bowstring and drawing it back.

There wasn’t much stress to it; he actually drew this bow with a 500kg draw weight with ease! If he hadn’t held back more than half his strength at the last moment, this bow, which cost him several million, might have been pulled apart!

– Si… what kind of a monster have I become?!-

Zhang Che felt shocked, then wonderfully surprised.

From what he felt when he drew the Falling Star Model X, wouldn’t he be able to fully draw a bow with a thousand kilograms draw weight!?

Zhang Che had no doubt that if he punched out with all his strength, he could directly punch through a human skull!

How incredible was that? If he got his hands on a powerful long weapon-type beast card and equipped the Swamp Crocodile King armor, and rode the Golden Elephorse King Hanxue, he’d look like a fierce knight!

No matter if it was Li Yuanba¹, the Conqueror of Western Chu², Yuwen Chengdu³, or whoever, they were nothing compared to Zhang Che if it was simply a contest of strength!

{TL: 1 – Third son of the founding emperor of Tang Dynasty, commonly appearing in literature works and theatrical plays, 2 – Xiang Yu, a warlord from late Qin Dynasty, 3 – A general from late Sui Dynasty in literature. All of them were said to possess inhuman strength.}

After fantasizing a bunch of stuff, Zhang Che felt his right hand, which had been keeping the bowstring drawn, starting to get sore. He hurriedly kept his thoughts in check and aimed at a rock a short distance away, loosening his grip.

Pew… Bam!

A sharp whistle rang out. The M-type armor-piercing arrow directly drilled deep into the mountain rock, followed by an explosion. The mountain rock was blasted apart into a pile of tiny rocks, flying out in all directions.

“Not bad! My archery is still passable when shooting stationary targets. It looks like I have to practice more in the future, and get myself a strong bow. With a bow in the hands of both the frisky monkey and me, our long-distance offensive strength would be really solid!”

Zhang Che felt a little headache after his happiness died down. Other than practicing his swordsmanship, he still had to practice archery. It seemed like his days would become even busier from now on.

Even so, what did it matter if he could become even stronger!?

After packing his things, Zhang Che whistled out, and the Purple Jade Condor circling above after quickly scouting the area descended, standing at his side silently.

“How exciting… I’m really about to fly!”

Now that his physical strength far exceeded that of ordinary people’s, Zhang Che no longer had to hang under the Purple Jade Condor’s talons pitifully. Instead, he could sit on its back, experiencing the joy of flying in the sky.

He secured both the backpack and the bow container on his back, and jumped up onto the Purple Jade Condor’s wide back. Zhang Che tightened his legs around the bird’s waist, his hands holding tightly onto a tuft of the strong purple feathers,and ordered, “Come on, let’s take off!”

The Purple Jade Condor’s talons bent and pushed against the ground. Its massive body immediately bounced up, its huge wings spreading open at the same time. With just a few beats, a strong current was generated, lifting the Purple Jade Condor into the air.

Zhang Che held on tightly to the Purple Jade Condor’s back with both his arms and legs, feeling the strong wind blowing across his face. However, his body didn’t move in the slightest, and he let out a radiant smile.

From now on, his travel speed would be countless times faster than before!
