My Cultivation Starting from Archery

Sun Xiangzong slowly opened his eyes and spoke in a hoarse voice, "Can you sleep?"

"..."

Cao Kai’s hand, holding the teacup, stiffened, and his expression instantly darkened.

"Never mind, it’s redundant for this old man to ask you."

Sun Xiangzong didn’t drink the Azure Dragon Tea but insisted on drinking his Vitality-Nourishing Tea, "You got what you wished for, and now you have found this place again, you can continue to strive for your eternal glory."

"It’s not just for that."

Cao Kai put down the teacup, "How can I not come to assist when an old brother is in distress?"

"There’s no need for you."

Sun Xiangzong spoke indifferently, "I can handle it myself."

"Back then, I said the same thing and couldn’t stop you either,"

said Cao Kai.

At these words,

the two centenarians looked at each other and laughed.

But this laugh contained more of a cold chuckle, filled with a multitude of emotions, which ultimately turned to vicissitudes of life.

"You have protected me for a lifetime."

"Hum——"

As they spoke,

the Dragon Abyss Sword was slowly drawn from its sheath.

The sound of the sword was like dragon roars, deafening.

"Now, I am no longer that powerless prince."

"Let me,"

"protect you this time."

"As you wish."

A silver dragon climbed out from the ring, circled around the white-haired old man a few times before landing in his hand, transforming into a bright silver long spear.

The cultivators sipping tea in the teahouse cast sidelong glances and then fled the place trembling with fear.

Two centenarian elders, one with a spear and the other with a sword, stepped side by side into the workshop.

"I have figured it out for you, the oldest ancestor of the Upper Sect will take at least half an hour to arrive here."

"Within half an hour, we can fight our way out."

"..."

...

Liangshan Water Pool.

Aboard the warship.

Chen Sansi wielded the long spear in his hands, trying his best to control it to minimize damage to the ship’s deck, while around him a spiraling Gang Qi tornado formed, significantly distorting the air so much that it was hard to see the figure within.

As time went on,

within this Killing Gang, slowly, strands of different Gang Qi began to emerge.

Profound Image Realm small achievement.

Martial Artists who reached this realm could, through the ultimate control of Gang Qi, form a Gang Qi barrier around them, which is Protective Gang Qi, impervious to swords and spears, water and fire.

Of course, that is if there is enough Gang Qi.

With the assistance of Immortal Pills, these two breakthroughs caused Chen Sansi little suffering; this latest breakthrough required more of a patient and meticulous effort.

Protective Gang Qi, mainly, serves as a defense.

But his Gang Qi, which blended the True Dragon Gang with the White Tiger Killing Gang, was mainly characterized by a fierce offensive nature, extremely violent, making it extremely difficult to control and form into Protective Gang Qi.

Even with Chen Sansi’s utmost effort, the spiraling Gang Qi could not help but disperse after maintaining for about a dozen breaths, resembling Quilong Dragons and Fierce Tigers as they roared and bellowed with impressive force.

"Boom boom boom!"

The deck exploded, wood chips flying everywhere.

"Again!"

Chen Sansi took a deep breath and started practicing again from the beginning.

The second time...

The third time...

"My lord!"

Qin Changxu prompted softly, "If this continues, we will have to change ships."

"..."

Chen Sansi, engrossed in his training, then realized that his destruction had left the deck in tatters. He simply ordered to go ashore and practiced in the woods, and then would ride Qian Xun to catch up with the fleet.

Finally,

he gradually found the steadiness brought by the Xuanwu Breath, and with this force, he forcefully suppressed both the White Tiger Killing Gang and the True Dragon Gang, until he could control the two types of Gang Qi around his body for a long time.

Protective Gang Qi!

No matter how much he suppressed it, the killing nature of the two Gang Qi could not be eliminated.

Thus,

the Protective Gang Qi that twined around Chen Sansi’s body was exceptional, not merely a barrier formed by simple Gang Qi condensation, but as if fierce tigers and true dragons were intertwined—a Protective Qi that was also a path of killing!

[Utility:..., Dragon Roar and Tiger Roar, Mixed Element Body Protection]

[Dragon Roar and Tiger Roar, Mixed Element Body Protection: Offense and defense in one, when under attack, there is a rebound effect, the strength of which depends on your own Martial Arts Cultivation and the enemy’s cultivation]

Rebound effect!

Chen Sansi estimated that if someone of a lower realm attacked him with the chaotic Protective Gang Qi, they would likely be rebounded into serious injury or even death, especially since it contained the True Dragon Gang.

Once injured, the True Dragon Gang would directly invade the enemy’s body, raging wildly, only to be suppressed by their own realm.

Only two steps away!

Only the last two steps left to the Martial Saint Realm!

After reaching Martial Saint, even achieving the Perfection of Transcendence, he would no longer be at the bottom level in the Cultivation World.

After a smooth breakthrough,

Chen Sansi quickly caught up with the big ship on Qian Xun. As they passed by Water Pool Liang Mountain this time, they encountered no obstruction and proceeded smoothly.

Life on the ship,

he also wasn’t idle, consuming the remaining Vitality-Nourishing Pills and practicing his spear technique day after day.

A month later, they switched from water to land travel, and they were just a few days’ journey from returning to Liangzhou.

[Progress: 588/2000]

Unbeknownst to him,

the trip in search of immortality has passed nearly half a year.

Now it is deep autumn, September, and winter will begin soon.

If calculated,

the expansion of the Eight Camps should be roughly complete.

If nothing goes wrong, Hongze Camp is already at full capacity.

Next comes the drilling of military formations, always ready for next year’s campaign against the grassland.

Besides...

there’s the trouble inside the Luotian Mountain Range to deal with.
