That night, the three of them sat quietly in the temple, each adjusting their state to prepare for the upcoming battle.
The Eastern Street Three Young Masters were not the strongest force in Beast Reject City; the Zhou family in the south and Zhu Zhanggui in the north both had power that surpassed the Eastern Street Three Young Masters. Even the West Street Gentle Pavilion was only slightly weaker.
Xu Feng sat cross-legged on the stone bed, beginning to further observe his body and that mysterious space in his mind.
This was Xu Feng's first time perceiving himself as a martial arts master; in his previous life, he was merely a sports enthusiast. Now, at just eighteen years old, Xu Feng could definitely be considered a talent in Beast Reject City. However, in this world filled with cultivators, no matter how high his martial skills were, he was still just a mortal. In the eyes of cultivators, he was nothing more than a waste.
With memories from two lifetimes, Xu Feng intuitively understood many things he had previously been unaware of, such as meridians, acupoints, true energy, and martial techniques.
Looking at that mysterious space in his mind, Xu Feng confirmed that it was definitely related to the book "Ten Thousand Arrows Return to One's Roots" he had read in his previous life. Could it be that the handprint he inadvertently touched was a key to something? Or perhaps it merged with something else?
Xu Feng mobilized the true energy within him and tried to enter that mysterious space. The space felt gentle, and he encountered no discomfort. A small amount of true energy circled around the Golden Arrow and seemed to double its power before naturally returning to his arms.
Hmm? The intensity of this power and its trajectory seemed off. Xu Feng instinctively noticed that the trace of true energy originating from his Dantian deviated from its original path of operation, and the power returning to his hands was even stronger. It shouldn't flow into his arms; it should descend along the Governing Vessel and return to the Dantian instead.
After several attempts, Xu Feng finally discovered the secret: he could effectively control his true energy, but if he did not deliberately guide its flow and left it in a "default" state, the true energy would automatically flow into the mental space. After being nurtured by the Golden Arrow, it would double in strength before flowing into his arms.
In other words, there was a sharing of true energy between the mental space and Dantian, while the Golden Arrow granted a doubling effect to the true energy!
Doubling his power without external assistance! Although this amplification couldn't be considered reverse enhancement, it made Xu Feng grin from ear to ear. What a great opportunity to find such a significant increase in strength!
As he experienced the route of true energy again, Xu Feng clearly sensed an additional meridian within his body. Most people have eight main meridians, but Xu Feng clearly had one more. This meridian originated from his Dantian and ascended through the Conception Vessel to his mind before descending through the Governing Vessel. However, after passing through his neck, it branched into both arms until reaching the Laogong acupoint.
True energy flowing through this meridian needed to be nurtured by the Golden Arrow to double its strength. Xu Feng felt a rush of excitement and thought: "With this meridian, who among opponents of equal level can withstand me? Since it's related to arrows, I shall call this ninth meridian the Arrow Meridian."
Xu Feng picked up the longbow that Zhang Bei had brought again; as he exerted force, various attributes of the bow vividly appeared in Xu Feng's mind as if this bow were part of his own body. The bow's strength, arrow trajectory, range, speed of release—all reflected perfectly in Xu Feng's mind.
Previously focused on learning sword techniques, Xu Feng only had superficial knowledge of archery; perhaps he could hit a target within ten steps but would likely miss even a cow at longer distances.
At this moment, however, Xu Feng felt confident enough to shoot an ant dead from a hundred steps away!
He became one with the arrow!
Xu Feng knew this ability was definitely granted by the Golden Arrow in his mind; that space was originally designed for archery.
In the Quiver, there were twenty arrows, and Xu Feng pulled one out.
The arrow was nocked, and at that moment, the moon was obscured by heavy clouds, casting a dark shadow. Xu Feng's eyes suddenly sparkled as if infused with magic.
With a "thwack," an arrow flew out, striking a tree a hundred meters away outside the temple, and a night-hunting Squirrel fell in response.
"Who!" The brothers Zhang Bao and Zhang Bei were startled awake, rushing to Xu Feng's side. Seeing Xu Feng holding the bow with a strange smile on his face, Zhang Bao asked, "Is it Hua Buyi's spy? I'll go take care of him." The two brothers grabbed their weapons and were ready to head out.
"It's nothing, just a Squirrel," Xu Feng said lightly. He raised his hand and shot two more arrows, the sound of pine cones falling echoed from afar. After shooting these three arrows, Xu Feng had gained confidence in his Archery Skills, though he still needed to confirm their lethality.
Meanwhile, the brothers Zhang Bao and Zhang Bei exchanged puzzled glances, unable to comprehend when their brother had learned such impressive archery skills.
Having unexpectedly acquired a skill made Xu Feng feel elated. Although he had just escaped death and was still being pursued, possessing this "Golden Finger" made all the difference.
As he exited the "archery stance," the brightness in Xu Feng's eyes faded, but a hint of hatred quietly crept in.
Xu Feng pondered for a moment before turning to Zhang Bei and asking, "Where did you buy this bow?"
"Southern City Bow Shop," Zhang Bei replied.
"Is there a stronger bow?"
"This is the strongest one."
Xu Feng pulled on the string and exerted force; with a "snap," the longbow broke into two pieces. He tossed it aside and declared, "I want a stronger one."
This was a high-quality Hunting Bow with immense power capable of easily piercing through a bull within a hundred paces. With at least 500 pounds of arm strength, even if his archery skills were lacking, breaking the bowstring was not difficult.
Zhang Bao questioned in confusion, "Brother Feng, we only need the bow for starting fires; we don't need a powerful bow."
Xu Feng's gaze turned cold as he replied, "I'm not using it to start fires."
Zhang Bei felt a chill run down his spine as if he understood something. He asked, "Brother Feng, are you planning to do it now?"
"Right now."
"Okay, I'll take care of it immediately." Zhang Bei said without hesitation, turning and disappearing into the night.
Zhang Bao hesitated for a moment, gaining some clarity, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Brother Feng, is it going to be okay?"
"Of course!" Xu Feng glanced at Zhang Bao and asked, "Are you scared?"
"I'm not scared." In the darkness, Zhang Bao's voice was soft but resolute, clearly understanding what Xu Feng was about to do.
Xu Feng didn't say anything more. He had already accepted this identity and needed to immerse himself in this world both mentally and physically. Thinking about Akiyo Kawasumi or beautiful women would only bring another chance of "crossing over."
Drawing his slender Willow Leaf Blade, the temple hall was suddenly filled with flickering blade light. Xu Feng used Mo's Blade Technique, a style created by a previous master named Mo. It was this technique that allowed Xu Feng to find his footing in Beast Reject City.
In Beast Reject City, there was only one master from the Zhou family in the south, Zhou Laoyezi, who hadn't shown his skills in over a decade. It was uncertain how strong he was now, but even so, Xu Feng believed he was far from being Zhou Laoyezi's match. Moreover, he would be facing cultivators who could easily defeat top masters. When this thought crossed Xu Feng's mind, even he found it hard to believe.
Cultivators didn't differ much physically from top masters, but their power was qualitatively different. Xu Feng wasn't clear on the specifics; as an Earthling, he had never paid attention to cultivation but had watched plenty of action films, especially from Japan.
If it were the previous top master Xu Feng, he definitely wouldn't dare challenge a cultivator. However, this Earthling with a twenty-first-century mindset thought differently now.
No need for direct confrontation; he held no grudges and preferred to play tricks! Let's take down the aliens!
The blade light grew increasingly intense, layers upon layers of blade shadows resembling a storm charging forward. Finally, this storm sliced through the air with a white flash, severing a pine tree at the temple's front.
"Brother Feng, you... broke through? You really did!" Zhang Bao looked at Xu Feng in disbelief.
"That's right!" Xu Feng sheathed his blade, and an aura of pressure unique to top masters spread out.
Xu Feng was originally at the peak of the late stage; now that he had integrated with Golden Arrow and increased his power significantly, breaking through to the top stage happened in an instant.
The main characteristic distinguishing the top stage from the late stage is the ability to project true energy outward. Imagine someone swinging their sword; before you even get close, you're already cut in half—what's left to fight? The Zhou family dominated because they had such a top master; all factions in Beast Reject City had to yield three points.
In reality, Xu Feng was still a pseudo-top master; the power he displayed was transformed through Golden Arrow. His true strength still fell short of being a real top master. Of course, only Xu Feng knew this.
At dawn, Zhang Bei returned with a tall bow that reached his chest. The bow limbs were replaced with double-layered black steel, and two arrow rests were installed. The bowstring was a deep purple color, making it hard to identify the material, and he also brought ten specially made Wolf Fang Arrows.
"Back so soon?" Xu Feng teased.
"Of course," Zhang Bei replied with a sly smile. It seemed the shopkeeper had quite the ordeal.
Xu Feng took the bow, and various data instantly appeared in his mind; he could almost determine all of the bow's performance without needing to shoot an arrow.
As dawn broke, Xu Feng stepped out of the temple and nocked an arrow.
With a whoosh, the Wolf Fang Arrow shot through a large tree a hundred meters away, continuing on until it buried itself in the ground. Leaves fell like snow.
Ignoring his stunned friend, Xu Feng closed his eyes to once again feel the various relationships between the arrow and power.
After a long moment, Xu Feng softly said, "Let's go; we have people to kill."
