Chapter 1023 Sky Abyss Secret Realm (2)

After giving some more instructions, Conner left in high spirits. The discovery of Leroy’s epiphany made him gratified, and he looked forward to Leroy’s future. But at the same time, he was also worried since being too dazzling in this place could be harmful, so he was planning on keeping a close lid on this news.

Ace then glanced at the silver jade scroll, and there were all the six levels of the Death Striker Archery Art. The names of the six levels, including the first three levels, were Arrow Marker, Mind Draw, Roaming Arrow, Sundering Arrow, Vanquisher Arrow, and Bow Men Union.

The fourth and fifth levels were about the unique arrow concept to increase the power of the arrow, while the final level tapped into the law of archery, and if someone could master it to the fullest, they have a very high chance of awakening the orbit intent.

Without wasting time, Ace began to comprehend the final three levels, and just like this, days passed by in peace and quiet.

However, on the fifth day after Conner left, Gentle Jade suddenly came with a message from the Second Prince. The contents of the letters were about the upcoming Sky Abyss Secret Realm opening.

The Second Prince Darren wants Leroy to assist him once they enter the Sky Abyss Secret Realm, but he has to be very discreet as he doesn’t want anyone else to find out about his allegiance yet.

Ace merely smirked as he pretended to be very willing to assist him in any way possible. This time, Ace’s targets were the imperial family members, and he was not going to be polite.

But then the next day, another letter from Crown Prince Carlos and the messenger, this time wasn’t Purple Sword but another faction member who was actually Purple Sword’s senior brother.

The letter’s contents were almost the same as the second prince’s, but the Crown Prince also wanted Leroy to be ready to strike Darren if the need arose.

Ace completely ignored them as he continued to comprehend the Death Striker Archery Art. He wanted to obtain the orbit intent as soon as possible.

But it was far easier said than done, especially when he was learning from scratch, and the day of the Sky Abyss Secret Realm gathering came, and Ace was still a little bit off from acquiring the orbit intent.

The level of Bow Men Union requires someone to become a bow and his heart to the arrow, and once this is achieved, the arrow will follow the archer’s will even after being released from the bow for at least a few minutes.

This was just like the mind sword but far more difficult since the arrow couldn’t remain in his hand, and it required powerful willpower and a deeper understanding of the bow and arrow. That’s why the orbit intent was so rare.

On this day, Conner arrived with a jolly expression, and when he saw Leroy, he was even more pleased.

“How is your progress? Although I don’t want to disturb you, today is the day you guys must leave for the Imperial Palace. The Vice Principal will personally escort you.” Conner stated.

Ace nodded, but before moving forward, he asked with a hesitant look on his face, “Master, could you please show me the orbit intent and the mystic ability Orbit Lock? I seemed very close to comprehending the Orbit Intent, but I’m missing something. If I can feel the orbit intent, I might be able to comprehend it sooner.”

Conner’s eyes widened a little when he heard Leroy was close to comprehending the orbit intent, and he felt his entire life was nothing but a joke in front of his disciple.

But since Leroy was his successor, he was happy to hear about his progress, and he didn’t ask more questions and nodded, “Alright, if you just want to have a feel, I’ll show you.”

The moment Conner’s eyes suddenly shone in a violet hue as an invisible pressure spread out of his body and directly enveloped Ace. π“΅π’Šπ“«π™§π™šπ’‚π™™.π’„π“Έπ’Ž

Ace suddenly felt like he had entered an absolute domain where he couldn’t escape from Conner at all. He deliberately put off his innate defenses to feel the orbit intent, which was marvelous.

“This is the orbit intent, and as long as you are in its range, you can never escape from my arrows. I can even imbue it with my innate element to make my arrows even more powerful, just like other weapon element intents.

“Once you can reach this level of freely imbuing your own element at will, you would halfway into the realm of mystic ability, the Orbit Lock.

“Now I’m going to show you what the orbit lock is, observe.” Conner solemnly stated, and the orbit intent around him suddenly became nonexistent as if it had completely vanished.

Ace was shocked by this, but because of his remarkably sensitive thief sense, he knew the orbit intent was still there, and it was far more terrifying than before like a crouching tiger waiting to strike its prey.

Suddenly, Ace felt a mystical power lock on his very soul, and he even felt something was trying to imprint on his soul.

But Ace didn’t resist and let it continue as he felt it closely. The next moment, Ace found a mystical rune appearing within his true soul!

He could’ve erased it if he wanted, but he didn’t, as there was a strange mystery hidden in this rune like a marker, just like his thief’s mark. But this marker was made with a law, while his thief’s mark was a soul ability.

Furthermore, Ace could tell that his thief’s mark was superior because of his soul cultivation. But if he was a realm below, then this marker was far superior, and he mightn’t have been able to erase it if it had been successfully imprinted.

“You can feel something is locked on your very soul, right? This is orbit lock, now no matter where you go or hide, my arrow will always find you. In fact, I can track you down no matter the distance.

“This orbit lock can only be removed by superior cultivation or law intent of the orbit lock. In the whole empire, only the Honorable Principal or some hidden monsters of the imperial clan are capable of removing it.” Conner proudly declared before he waved his sleeve. Ace found that orbit intent, and the marker in his soul suddenly vanished.

“So, what do you think?” Conner asked with a smug smile.

“Extraordinary. I think no one is your match.” Leroy quickly flattered Conner and bowed in reverence.

While inwardly, Ace was making his avatar instantly begin to comprehend that feeling. With two minds, he could make quick progress, and now that he knew what the orbit intent felt like and the mystic ability, he was sure that he could comprehend it in some time.

Not only that but after seeing that rune made by law, Ace felt that he was very close to making progress with the sword law as well.

Conner’s smile widened as he felt very pleased, “Alright, let’s go; we can’t let Vice Principal wait. If you want to sense the orbit intent again, you can do it after coming out of the secret realm as long as you want!”

Ace nodded before Conner was enveloped in his Qi, and they both vanished towards the Principal Tower!
