Chapter 57: About to Break Through the Steel Bone Realm

On the archery training ground, the sound of arrows breaking through the air was intermittent like rain. One black arrow after another passed through Liu Ziri's sight, swept in a slight arc and hit the black curtain wall two hundred meters away, creating ripples.

She stood quietly beside the wooden rack where the spears were placed horizontally, her eyes following the arrows as they slipped to the right, and just as she turned back she ran after the next arrow.

"Huh~" Jiang Qiu took a deep breath, the [Black Dragon] bow dropped to the left side of his waist, and reached into the quiver with his right hand, but it was empty: "I've run out of arrows."

He shook his right arm, which felt as if hydrochloric acid seeped into the muscles. Just as he took half a step, he heard a burst of hurried footsteps coming from a distance.

Tap tap tap.
Liu Ziri was holding dozens of arrows left behind under the black wall. She had dimples on her face and her almond-shaped eyes were like dripping pearls, clearer than ever before.

Snap.
Long, slender arrows fell into the quiver, filling the gap.

"Thank you."

A faint warmth flowed through Jiang Qiu's heart, and turned into hot air and flowed out of his lips and teeth: "Take a break, I will teach you how to practice shooting."

"it is good."

Liu Ziri nodded, took the [Black Dragon] bow from Jiang Qiu, ran towards the wooden rack in the distance with brisk steps, and came back holding two spears.

Stab, prick, swish——

The sound of the spear breaking through the air resounded in the empty archery training ground. Liu Ziri's figure twisted like a spirit dragon, just like when Jiang Qiu first started learning ancient martial arts spear, but even more powerful. The muscles on his forearms were deeply curved, perhaps because he had already taken the Wu Suxiang medicinal bath.

"Don't look at the tip of the spear when you pick it up and turn your wrist," Jiang Qiu narrowed his eyes and shouted softly, and casually raised a half-moon spear arc: "Look at me."

Although your hands will get sore from drawing the bow, practicing shooting does not require much strength. It is just like picking up food with chopsticks, so there is no pressure.

A few days ago, when I was practicing archery alone at the archery range, I would casually swing the bow a few times after practicing, but now there are more people.

He watched Liu Ziri practice every move and occasionally demonstrated it himself.

Time passed day by day, and it was already the afternoon of April 9th ​​when school was over.

pick--

A neat arc of the spear rose from Liu Ziri's spear, and beads of sweat as big as beans flew out from his shining forearm. In an instant, it seemed to reflect the three-point momentum of Jiang Qiu's initial thrust, as smooth as flowing water.

Jiang Qiu stood aside holding his spear, watching silently.

The sound of a door opening interrupted the gunshot. The two men paused and looked towards the door.

"It's just right that you haven't left yet after school," Wu Shan strode into the field and said, "Don't practice shooting yet. I want to tell you two things.

First of all, because our No. 8 venue is an excellent venue, Jiang Qiu performed very well during the last hunting training, and all resources are tilted towards us, so everyone in the venue has Wu Suxiang, but the top five people each have two, Jiang Qiu is not included in the ranking, and he has six. "

Liu Ziri clenched his wet fists, his eyes burning.

Wu Suxiang's body refining effect is really outstanding. Now he has entered the Bronze Skin Realm. If he can have two more Wu Suxiangs, he may be able to take a big step towards the Iron Flesh Realm in the last two months.

If Jiang Qiu's ranking is not counted, Wang Guanjia, Xie Kuang, Zhang Shan and Li Si still have one spot to grab!

Practicing shooting these days is like walking Jiang Qiu’s road to find the main road. There are bright lights pointing the way, and the journey is smooth!
It was just my first contact, and I couldn't feel where the end of the road was. My blood was rushing, and I unknowingly comprehended a little bit of hidden power based on the armor-piercing ability of the gun tip!
It seemed that following Jiang Qiu, even though I was born in a shanty town and learned ancient martial arts spear techniques in my senior year of high school, I could catch up with Zhang Shan, Li Si and the others.
Thinking of this, Liu Ziri blinked and glanced at Jiang Qiu, pursed his lips slightly, and sweet and salty sweat seeped from the corners of his mouth to the tip of his tongue.

"One more thing. The monster meat and materials collected from the hunting training have been completely consumed in the inner city. All the funds will be sent out tomorrow. Please check them carefully."

His eyes passed over Liu Ziri and Wu Shan glanced deeply at Jiang Qiu.

"Oh." Jiang Qiu was stunned for a moment, and waved to Liu Zili: "Teacher has something else to tell me, why don't you go back and rest first?"

"it is good."

Liu Ziri chuckled, put down his spear, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Click - the steel door opened and closed again. Wu Shan sighed deeply: "The refining of high-grade Suxiang has encountered some bottlenecks. Be prepared."

"Not enough materials?" Jiang Qiu's heart sank and he frowned slightly: "How much more money do you need?"

Intermediate Suxiang is rare and precious, so how can high-grade Suxiang be cheap?
"Well, I'm not sure. The expert just told me that the conventional refining method might not be very useful for the first time processing the mutated pebbles." Wu Shan shook his head, his right eye cloudy. "This usually happens because the main material is too rare, and the refining cost is greatly increased. Millions or tens of millions may just be a drop in the bucket. It takes repeated attempts to refine high-grade Suxiang."

Millions, tens of millions? !
Jiang Qiu opened his eyes and his index finger twitched.

The practical hunting training can earn more than 9 million yuan per time, and that is the income from hunting outside the city in a relatively safe environment.

It would cost more than six million to buy a bow and prepay for high-grade Suxiang now. How could we get more than ten million in backup funds?

Jiang Qiu's heart tightened: "But I don't have any money now, so won't I be able to refine the high-grade Suxiang?"

After a moment of silence, Wu Shan's right eye flashed with a gleam of light: "No, you still have a way to make money, but it's not easy."

"what?"

"In about ten days, the time for the military test may be up. It is essentially the same as the actual hunting training. We will go out of the city to kill monsters, and the corpses of the monsters will be collected in the end."

Hearing this, Jiang Qiu frowned.

The reason why there were nine million people in the practical hunting was mainly because after the demon plant was killed, the remaining black-armored lizards and red-armored lizards died inexplicably.

It takes more than two thousand monsters to share the income.

Otherwise, if I just relied on killing people on my own, I wouldn’t even be able to raise the 5 million start-up capital.

"You don't have to worry too much about lack of money. The monsters you face in the military test are mostly mid-level and high-level monsters. If you can kill a high-level monster, millions will be easy.

For example, if the demon plant you killed hadn't withered, you could have recovered millions of dollars."

After a pause, Wu Shan's voice turned deeper: "It's just that greater benefits mean greater dangers. Most military tests are actual combat. This test will determine whether you can enter the Tianjiao plan and become a selected candidate. The risk of casualties is not small.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that there are only black-armored lizards and red-armored lizards in Qingmu Town. They are just weak monsters attracted by the fluctuations of the secret realm.

There are branches of the demon clan gathered in the mountains and lakes closest to our Gaoyuan City. Even if the Red Flame Spider Mother moved most of them to attack Tianshan City in the north, the number of monsters led by the nearby demon clan is still huge, and there are even several top-level monsters.

Among the monsters, only those of high rank or higher are qualified to be test targets for students in the Tianjiao Program. Many of these monsters are birds that have transformed into monsters, and they must be killed with a Qi and Blood Bow...

Oh, by the way, how is your bow training going now?"

Facing his deep gaze, Jiang Qiu was silent for a moment: "I'm still some distance away from being proficient."

"It's normal. From entry level to proficiency, what you need to train is not the control of Qi and blood, but precision. It takes a longer time to accumulate and cannot be achieved overnight." Wu Shan sighed and waved his hand to comfort him: "It doesn't matter if you can't become proficient. You will have the opportunity to shoot and kill mid-level monsters when you get started, and it is enough to make some money. As for the Tianjiao plan, you just need to do your best.

Go back first."

"Ah."

Jiang Qiu walked out of the archery range, and a panel flashed in his eyes.

【Ancient Martial Arrow (Beginner)】

[250/500]

【Iron Meat】

[901/1000]

Although I still have a long way to go before I can master the art of bow, my physical body is about to break through, perhaps after I receive the Wu Suxiang tomorrow.
