Chapter 308: Obtaining the Star Chasing Arrow

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

As Ling Zhongyun sighed at the passing of time, Chen Yiming retracted his gaze from his junior sister.

Ling Zhongyun’s junior sister had the aura of a big sister next door, but he was here to observe Ling Zhongyun’s archery skills and help his sister secretly learn them.

The spiritual figure had already been summoned to the vicinity. Now, he had important matters to attend to. He could not let himself be distracted by other matters.

Of course, he wouldn’t ask Ling Zhongyun directly to learn archery from him. After all, Chen Yiming was at the true master realm, while the other party was only half a step away from the master realm. Chen Yiming was not the type to be overly eager to learn and unashamed to ask someone who was his junior.

“The Jiangnan province’s biological research institute is studying the ball of flesh left behind by Rover. They just obtained something called the miracle blood. It’s said that it can allow one to break through to the master realm.”

Chen Yiming took the initiative to start a conversation.

“I heard about this too. Unfortunately, the natural power I have some affinity with is the power of the storm. I don’t know anything about the natural power related to blood energy. Otherwise, this miracle blood might be of some help.”

Ling Zhongyun had a bitter expression on his face, and his words were filled with regret.

The opportunity to break through to the master realm had appeared, but it was not the path of martial arts that Ling Zhongyun had taken. It was as if a vault of gold was in front of him, but he did not have the key to enter it.

The two of them quickly got into a deep conversation about the miracle blood.

As they chatted, Ling Zhongyun suddenly lowered his voice and said, “Actually, the miracle blood has been traded between the large western countries for a long time. It’s said that some of it occasionally appears at auctions, and they would be sold for hundreds of millions of dollars for each tube.”

“…”

Chen Yiming was shocked by the high price. However, on second thought, the rarer something was, the more valuable it was. The actual amount of miracle produced by the ball of flesh wasn’t enough to meet the demand.

This way, if one or two tubes of the miracle blood appeared outside occasionally, it might be due to some insider trading. On the surface, it was a transaction of money, but in secret, there might be an exchange of other benefits.

Ling Zhongyun continued, “A tube of miracle blood is worth more than 100 million US dollars, and the western countries have each established a bloodline warrior army. I wonder how much profit the Sam Nation has accumulated over the years.”

“All along, the other countries have lowered themselves to become Sam Nation’s subordinates. They even threatened to surround and attack the Daxia Kingdom. Fortunately, the key to producing the miracle blood has fallen into our hands.”

From Ling Zhongyun’s words, Chen Yiming could tell how effective diplomacy using the miracle blood was.

He also learned that the core members of the bloodline warrior army did not have the weakness of unstable emotions. They performed extremely well on the battlefield.

This made Chen Yiming feel much more at ease with the miracle blood. If there were any obvious side effects, he wouldn’t dare to give it to his family members. After all, safety was the most important thing.

Not long after, Ling Zhongyun’s junior sister walked over with two bottles of iced plum juice.

Chen Yiming turned around and happened to see her pair of long, fair legs through a thin gap.

“The weather is hot. I brought you some iced plum juice to quench your thirst.” Yu Tingting sat down beside Ling Zhongyun and smiled at Chen Yiming.

“Thank you!” Chen Yiming replied seriously. At the same time, he thought to himself, “I’m just too attractive. It’s only our first meeting, but Ling Zhongyun’s junior sister has already become my fangirl.”

Ling Zhongyun glanced at the trainees and gestured for Yu Tingting to put down the plum juice and leave.

The content of his conversation with Chen Yiming wasn’t suitable for Yu Tingting to hear. If she knew too much, she might be targeted and get into trouble one day.

However, Yu Tingting clearly did not want to leave. She looked at Ling Zhongyun with a pitiful expression and hesitated to speak.

Seeing this, Chen Yiming thought that it was his chance to show off.

“The matter of the miracle blood can’t be hidden. It won’t be long before there are all kinds of discussions about it globally. Everyone will know that the item left behind by Rover is in our hands.”

Ling Zhongyun nodded. Since Chen Yiming had spoken, he had no intention of chasing his junior sister away.

Yu Tingting received permission to stay, and her expression turned back into a smile in the blink of an eye. She asked boldly, “What is this miracle blood you’re talking about?”

Chen Yiming was in a good mood and gave her a brief introduction, emphasizing the rarity of the miracle blood and how valuable it was.

“So that’s how it is. How amazing!” Yu Tingting smiled.

Then, she turned to Ling Zhongyun and said, “Senior Brother, you’re the main force under the martial master guarding the country. With you in Jiangnan City, I don’t have to worry even if I’m in charge of the archery school alone.”

Ling Zhongyun coughed and quickly corrected her. “I have an important job to do, so I might not be able to take care of the archery school. If the sect wants to expand the Jiangnan branch, we still have to send more people to Jiangnan City.”

Yu Tingting looked troubled. “But the previous head told me to ask you for help if I encountered any difficulties.”

Ling Zhongyun explained with a serious expression, “War is a national matter. It’s impossible to joke about it. I hope Junior Sister can understand.”

Chen Yiming suddenly felt that something was amiss. Yu Tingting’s gaze was fixed on Ling Zhongyun the entire time, and he seemed to have become invisible.

So it was a misunderstanding. He thought that he had gotten another fangirl, but her attention was only drawn to him because he happened to be sitting with her senior brother.

Chen Yiming had never been ignored like this before. He thought to himself that he had to teach Ling Zhongyun’s junior sister a lesson and broaden her horizons.

After Ling Zhongyun rejected Yu Tingting’s request for help, Chen Yiming explained to Ling Zhongyun his true motive for looking for him.

“Testing the limit of the power of my arrows? Asking me to lead the other three to take on the responsibility of blocking the treant’s escape in the war against the treants?” Ling Zhongyun asked in surprise.

“But didn’t they say that there are treants who have surpassed the master realm…”

Ling Zhongyun was dumbfounded. He hadn’t expected Chen Yiming to suggest a counterattack.

Hearing this, Yu Tingting also became dumbfounded. Chen Yiming was secretly delighted.

“What about Rover, who is a martial master? I don’t think it’s that much different from killing a chick. That’s why I have the intention to counterattack. Of course, we still have to consider the details of the operation.”

Chen Yiming didn’t have to spell everything out. In reality, wasn’t he the one who had the final say on whether to carry out the counterattack?

“Please take care of me!”

When Ling Zhongyun understood that this was not a joke, he cupped his fists and his expression turned unprecedentedly serious.

After Chen Yiming easily defeated the Sam Nation’s martial master, Rover, he had already become the number one martial master on the blue planet. Although the Western corporations were not a tight alliance, the number of martial masters in their employ was several times that of the Daxia Kingdom.

However, even so, there had been no retaliation from them. The reason was that they had grown to fear Chen Yiming and were afraid that they would fail again and fall into his trap instead.

Now that the strongest person had expressed his intention to test him, Ling Zhongyun felt that he was lucky enough to be honored and acknowledged by him.

“Should we do it in the archery school? Or…?” Ling Zhongyun asked.

“The archery school is fine.” Chen Yiming nodded.

Ling Zhongyun turned around and instructed Yu Tingting, “Take the trainees out of the archery school and lock the door.”

After a few minutes, the school was cleared out. Chen Yiming and Ling Zhongyun stood at two ends of the spacious hall, separated by a distance of more than 100 meters. Yu Tingting leaned against the door and looked nervously at the two of them.

Her head was buzzing. Chen Yiming’s calm words were still replaying in her mind.

The martial master guarding the country? Killing a chick? A counterattack plan?

Where did her senior brother meet this friend? She did not even dare to think about it in her dreams.

“The Star Chasing Arrow is an archery technique inherited from the Jijian Sect. It was created by comprehending the changes in the positions of the sun, moon, and stars. In theory, one can fire 28 arrows at once, but I can only fire nine arrows at once,” Ling Zhongyun explained.

“Ling Zhongyun, who is half a step away from the master realm, can only shoot nine arrows? It seems that this archery technique is very profound. Its potential should be able to be further explored,” Chen Yiming thought to himself. At the same time, he communicated with the figure in his mind and prepared to secretly learn from it.

“Let’s start quickly. I’ll restrict my power to a small space. The archery school will not be damaged,” Chen Yiming said with his hands behind his back.

Ling Zhongyun didn’t think that there was anything wrong with Chen Yiming’s actions. He knew his limits and the gap between the two of them.

He hadn’t expected that Chen Yiming was mainly trying to show off in front of his junior sister.

He took a step forward, and his movements were like a phantom as he readied his bow and arrow.

In the next moment, the nine energy arrows shot out at the same time, forming a lifelike figure of a divine eagle in midair.

At the same time, whirlwinds appeared around his body. Then, wind blades spread out in all directions, as if they could cut through space. If they were fully unleashed, the aftershock could easily destroy the entire archery school.

Yu Tingting’s fingers were tightly intertwined as she nervously watched everything that was happening in the archery school.

Her senior brother, Ling Zhongyun, was the number one genius in the history of the Jijian Sect. He had surpassed the previous sect masters and followed the martial master in the north to cultivate diligently, giving him the title of “Divine Arrow” in the capital.

He was the perfect idol in the hearts of countless senior and junior sisters of the Jijian Sect.

He had always been regarded as the strongest person among the younger generation, especially those below the age of 40.

However, today, this impression seemed to have been destroyed. A man who was even younger than her senior brother came to look for him, and a series of events unfolded.

No matter how worried Yu Tingting was, when the nine arrows were fired at the same time, an invisible barrier appeared in the archery school.

The wind blades that were glowing with white light suddenly slowed down drastically when they reached the walls. It was as if they had fallen into an invisible pond and finally dissipated in midair.

The divine eagle formed by the nine arrows screamed. The nine arrows combined into a spear that shot towards Chen Yiming, who had his hands behind his back.

“There’s a slight piercing feeling at the spot where I was targeted.”

Chen Yiming felt the feedback from his body and increased the intensity of the invisible barrier.

The stable structure of the spear, which had been formed by the energy arrows, was instantly broken. Before it could reach Chen Yiming, it exploded in midair.

“Bang!”

Countless wind blades shot out in all directions, creating a small storm in the archery school. However, it was useless. As they approached the wall, they were restrained by the invisible barrier and collapsed.

“The nine arrows can’t even touch the corner of his shirt! Is this the difference between us?”

Ling Zhongyun took a deep breath and focused his gaze, as if he had made a decision.

He nocked another bow and fired another arrow. This time, 13 arrows were fired at the same time. However, the moment the 13 energy arrows appeared, a ferocious expression appeared on Ling Zhongyun’s face, as if he was enduring great pain.

In the end, he endured the pain of his spiritual power being torn apart and controlled the 13 arrows to turn into a single ray of white light that shot straight out.

“Boom!” It was as if a cannonball had been fired, but also like a laser weapon.

The white light drowned out the entire archery school, and their vision was filled with the small wind blades. Under normal circumstances, one’s body would be mercilessly torn to pieces in such a situation.

However, the target, the young man with his hands behind his back, remained indifferent. His eyelids did not even twitch.

Ling Zhongyun spat out a mouthful of blood.

This was not because he was angry, but because he had used so many arrows that it had exceeded his control. Not only was his spiritual power injured, but he had also suffered internal injuries from releasing an amount of internal force that was beyond his body’s ability to withstand.

He ignored his injuries and stared intently at the white light, hoping that this attack would make the other party raise his hand in response.

However, Ling Zhongyun’s vision turned black. Before he could see the outcome clearly, he fainted. He could vaguely hear:

“Eh?”

“Isn’t his body a little too weak?”

“Senior Brother! Senior Brother!” Yu Tingting cried.

…

The white light was suppressed by an invisible force and instantly dissipated.

Chen Yiming stood awkwardly beside the unconscious Ling Zhongyun. Yu Tingting ran over and collapsed on Ling Zhongyun, crying as she called his name.

Taking the opportunity to attack her unconscious senior brother?

How could this be?

Ling Zhongyun won’t blame me when he wakes up, right?

Chen Yiming had no choice but to say, “Lady, let me take a look at Ling Zhongyun’s situation. It’ll be troublesome if his foundation is damaged.”

However, it was as if Yu Tingting did not hear him. The sound of crying echoed throughout the archery range.

Seeing this, Chen Yiming didn’t say anything else and waited at the side.

About two to three minutes later, Yu Tingting came back to her senses and wiped the tears off her face. Only then did she remember that she should send her injured senior brother to the hospital quickly.

Chen Yiming watched from the side as Yu Tingting frantically called the emergency number. He sighed to himself. “I failed to show off and scared her too much.”

While waiting for the ambulance, Yu Tingting took good care of Ling Zhongyun. In reality, her efforts were in vain. Chen Yiming had nothing to do and used his consciousness to communicate with the figure in his mind.

Chen Yiming: Ling Zhongyun only shot twice. Did you manage to secretly learn the full technique?

The figure in his mind: No, but I deduced the rest.

Chen Yiming was speechless.

This was his hidden talent after he transmigrated!

His consciousness had split into a spiritual figure that inherited most of his comprehension talent. The remaining consciousness became that of a normal person.

The figure in his mind was originally one with him, but in reality, he was still a genius?

At this thought, Chen Yiming thought, “Come over now!”

The figure in his mind: Yes.

Half a second later, a stream of light entered the archery school through the glass window and entered Chen Yiming’s head.

In his spiritual world, Chen Yiming’s consciousness had fused with the figure in his mind. He instantly understood the Star Chasing Arrow technique that the figure had deduced.

He recalled Ling Zhongyun’s arrow just now and realized that there were many imperfections in it, as well as the situation of Ling Zhongyun’s internal force and spiritual power.

“So weak!”

Compared to when Chen Yiming was half a step away from the master realm, not only was Ling Zhongyun’s internal force far inferior, but his spiritual power was also far inferior.

His physique was also much better, and his body was much stronger. No wonder the other party could not withstand the backlash.

It was only by choosing long-range attacks like archery that Ling Zhongyun could achieve his current achievements. If he had taken the path of the saber, spear, and fist techniques, it would have been difficult for him to obtain his current achievements.

Not long after, the siren of an ambulance sounded from the street.

“Make way, leave it to us.”

As soon as they entered, the doctor gestured for Yu Tingting to move aside. His tone was firm.

When Yu Tingting saw that it was a doctor, she stood up and moved aside.

Soon, the doctor started to check Ling Zhongyun’s physical condition and found that his life was not in danger.

After that, Ling Zhongyun was carried on a stretcher by a few doctors and nurses. Yu Tingting followed the doctors and nurses, and Chen Yiming watched them leave.

He muttered, “Could it be that I unintentionally aided them to become a couple?”

Thinking about it, it was quite possible. Someone like Ling Zhongyun would have focused fully on practicing martial arts, so there would be no one suitable for him by his side. The only woman of the right age, Zhao Shumin, was Chen Yiming’s fangirl, and she looked down on the weak Ling Zhongyun.

Usually, it was difficult for Yu Tingting to get close to Ling Zhongyun, but now that Ling Zhongyun was injured, there was a chance.
