The Journey to the West is over, and the Perfect Life System is here

Chapter 9: Just one look and you'll understand
"Archery requires talent, and you know nothing about it..."

The woodcutter hadn't finished speaking.

"call out!"

Then an arrow flew through the air and almost instantly broke through the sea of clouds above.

"Ah..."

The next moment, a wild goose landed in response, and its miserable cry echoed in the air.

"Your old mother has meat to eat again today." Sun Wukong joked, the bowstring in his hand still trembling.

The woodcutter's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief, and he murmured, "Arrow heart? This is impossible..."

"Hehe." Sun Wukong scratched his face and smiled, "It seems that I am still talented. I only saw you shoot an arrow once the other day, and you got the general idea."

"Just that one arrow?" The woodcutter still didn't believe it.

"Monks don't tell lies." Sun Wukong said with one hand raised.

“…” The woodcutter was speechless, having forgotten that this fellow was the Fighting Buddha.

"Although I have a talent for archery, I still lack the guidance of a famous teacher. I wonder if you, a woodcutter, would be willing to give me some pointers?" Sun Wukong said again.

"Three years, I'll teach you for a maximum of three years," the woodcutter said seriously. "You can't waste time on a newly discovered talent. Only if you've achieved success in three years can you continue training."

"That's enough, three years is enough." Sun Wukong was very confident.

"Hmph!" The woodcutter snorted coldly, "Don't think that just because you have some talent, you can look down on archery.

Throughout history, archery masters have always been extremely rare, and there is a reason for this.

Because bows and arrows are different from most handheld weapons, such as swords, spears, swords and halberds, you can control them as you wish in your hands.

The arrow can only be fully controlled by you before it is shot. Once it leaves the string, it will be affected by many uncertainties.

Strong winds, rainstorms, lightning and thunder, rocks, plants, birds, beasts, insects and fish may all cause the arrow to deviate from its original direction.

Just imagine, when you want to shoot an arrow a thousand miles, ten thousand miles, or even one hundred and eight thousand miles away, how much will it miss in the end?
Therefore, if you want to learn archery, you must consider all these issues, and you must not be arrogant and think that you can easily master everything with just talent."

Sun Wukong's expression also became serious, and he bowed and said, "Please teach me, brother!"

Because he had an archery mind, he originally wanted to give it a try to see if he could use the Dao Yin to capture the Dao rhythm of the law when the woodcutter was performing archery.

Now his mind has changed.

The magical power of arrow heart alone only allows him to shoot accurately, but the art of archery is much more than that.

Therefore, the woodcutter's teaching is extremely important, as it can help him further master the art of archery.

"Okay, let's start with the basics," the woodcutter said seriously. "You can already shoot accurately, now you need to learn how to shoot far."

"Of course I should." Sun Wukong chuckled, "But before I learn, I want to see your strongest arrow first, so I can have a better idea of what to do."

"Don't be too ambitious," the woodcutter frowned, but after thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "I'll only shoot one arrow."

Sun Wukong handed over the bow and arrow, and reminded him again: "It must be your strongest arrow."

The woodcutter took the bow and arrow without saying anything, but his whole demeanor had changed.

It was like he transformed from an honest woodcutter into a cold and stern god of war with great vigor.

"Watch this!" He shouted softly, and instantly raised his hand to draw the bow.

The arrow, which had not yet left the bow, looked ordinary at first, but as the longbow bent, an inexplicable sharpness appeared on the surface of the arrow, as if it could tear through the void and break through all obstacles.

Sun Wukong was naturally watching carefully. He had already started to practice the Daoyin method. The divine light in his eyes was intertwined and very mysterious, giving him the opportunity to capture the illusory Dao rhythm of the law.

call out!
The arrow left the bow and flew into the air.

But because it was an ordinary arrow, it could not withstand such powerful force. It only flew a certain distance before turning into powder in mid-air.

The woodcutter sighed softly, and the worry and confusion in his heart seemed to have dissipated a lot with the arrow. "Look..." He turned his head to look, but was suddenly stunned.

The Monkey King, who had been concentrating just now, now closed his eyes and stood there motionless. The aura of his whole body became ethereal, and a mysterious charm seemed to be brewing.

Seeing this scene, the woodcutter's face was full of disbelief and his mood became complicated.

Because he was very familiar with that charm, although it was subtle, it was indeed the charm of the laws of archery.

"You've suddenly realized it? You really get it at a glance?"

The woodcutter was even more confused.

He practiced for a long time, but only gained a little understanding of the principles of archery.

Sun Wukong just looked at the arrow that had a little bit of Taoist charm, and he suddenly realized it!

We agreed to teach for three years???

call!
The next moment, Patriarch Bodhi appeared out of thin air with the fairy boy Lan Cai.

The master looked at Sun Wukong standing there, and felt the Taoist charm that was gradually getting stronger, and his face suddenly filled with smiles.

"Master, Wukong..." The woodcutter excitedly whispered what had just happened.

"Just took a look? And it's an archery method that you have never come into contact with before?" The smile on Bodhi Patriarch's face disappeared, and shock and confusion flashed in his eyes.

Now even he couldn't understand it.

Although Lan Cai, who was standing next to him, could not feel the rhythm of the laws and Tao, he could guess what was going on through the expressions of the ancestor and the woodcutter.

After listening to the woodcutter's story, he was completely shocked.

Is it that easy to attain enlightenment?

That is the law of the universe!
After the woodcutter finished speaking, he still couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.

When he looked at Sun Wukong again, his eyes were full of anticipation.

Before, he was still worried about how long it would take for Sun Wukong to comprehend the laws of the Dao, and how long it would take for him to become truly strong after comprehending them.
But now there is no need to worry, because hope is no longer slim.

……

Nine days passed, and Sun Wukong still stood there, completely immersed in enlightenment.

Suddenly, the ethereal aura around him began to swirl and flow, faster and faster.

The brewing rhythm of the laws and principles has become very clear, and one can clearly feel an indestructible sharpness, as if the bow is being drawn and ready to be fired.

"It's done!" The woodcutter excitedly pumped his fist, his excitement beyond words.

Lan Cai was watching from the side, feeling proud but also filled with emotion.

How can I not be excited?

It’s only nine days!
Nine days ago, Sun Wukong had just received instruction from his master and heard for the first time about the principles and path to enlightenment.

Lan Cai clearly remembered that the woodcutter had said at the time that throughout history, no one had been able to successfully comprehend the laws of the great Dao within a hundred years.

As a result, Sun Wukong had an epiphany after just one look, and achieved enlightenment in nine days!

And the sudden enlightenment was about the archery that he had just come into contact with!

With such talent and understanding, no one can match it, not to mention throughout history, even for millions of years to come, right?

At this moment, Lan Cai felt only happiness and envy, no other emotions.
