132 Origin Paths Archery (1/2)

Yale tried to put some Origin Qi on the arrow, but once he did that, the Spiritual Sense dispersed.

”It can't work? Or maybe I am just doing it wrong?”

Yale was in a stance ready to shoot, but without shooting; he was only trying to put Origin Qi and Spiritual Sense at the same time on the arrow.

He still didn't know if that was the correct answer to use the Origin Path to boost his archery, but he couldn't think in any other way, so he remained trying that method.

Aiwai saw that Yale was static without shooting, in her eyes, he was trying to ensure that he was using well the Spiritual Sense before shooting to avoid making waste shots.

Wyba was unable to understand what Yale was trying to do as she couldn't use Spiritual Sense and thus, she didn't know how it worked, but she knew that to Yale that was important.

Yale tried for some minutes until he started to feel that both energies remained at the same time in the arrow a bit more time before dispersing. Initially, they dispersed immediately, so that showed improvement.

After half an hour, Yale decided to try shooting one arrow; he was able to remain both forces in the arrow for almost two seconds, if the method was the right one, he should be able to barely control the arrow before the dissipation of the energies.

Yale was sure that he would fail the target because his objective at that moment wasn't hit a target, he only wanted to control the arrow enough to reach the apprentice stage. After that, he would start to improve it more.

Aiwai and Wyba saw that Yale tensed the string of the bow, which meant that he was ready to shoot.

Yale had tensed the string before putting his energies to waste the less time possible.

Finally, Yale put both energies and shot the arrow without wasting time while using his mind to try ordering the arrow to move.

The arrow failed the target as expected, but Wyba who didn't understand Yale's real intention with that arrow felt bad for Yale. However, Aiwai had a shocked expression on her face.

”The user successfully created the Passive Skill [Archery Mastery: Apprentice]”

One millimeter, Yale had barely managed to move the arrow one millimeter, that was something almost inexistent and without any real use, but for Yale that was enough to reach the apprentice stage in archery.

Yale had a wide smile on his face; the method was indeed correct, the Origin Qi could reinforce the Spiritual Sense, he needed to use one Origin Point for each try, but that was something he could afford.

Aiwai was paying close attention to Yale and noticed the millimeter the arrow had moved after being shot, she was shocked at the start, but she started to clap her hands just afterward.

”Incredible! Even if you just barely managed to do it, you did on your first try. If you train hard, I can ensure that you will have a good future in archery.”

After the initial shock, Aiwai was excited, to her, archery was something extremely serious, like swordsmanship to Swordmad. Thus, discovering that her little brother had such a great talent was a great surprise to her.

Yale went to check the effects of the archery apprentice stage.

”ArcheryMastery: ApprenticeLevel 1. When shooting, all stats increase by 0,1% ignoring all the restrictions. This Passive Skill can be leveled up practicing Archery.”

The effects were similar to the ones of Sword Mastery at the same stage, but to have the increase in stats it didn't require a bow, anything that he shot would be boosted, that included spells like Ice Spears and even the swords he used as arrows in the past.

If Yale used those swords as arrows, they would get a double boost, one for each mastery.

Yale was extremely happy; he had been waiting for that day for a long time; he had started to train archery even before than swordsmanship, but he never had a great improvement in archery until that moment.

After hearing Aiwai's words, Wyba understood that her brother had succeeded even if she had thought that he had failed, so she rushed to hug him.
