The Star River Era! The Dimensional Freedom Demon

early morning.

Li Cheng suddenly issued an order to recruit Ji Chen and Zhang Feng into the military camp, and then demanded that they immediately attack the city.

Ji Chen and Zhang Feng exchanged a glance and outwardly obeyed Li Cheng's orders.

This guy is too incompetent, so the two of them decided to wait and see how things go.

The two arrived at the front of the battle line and saw a group of men dressed in white with red ropes hanging from their arms supervising the battle from behind. They urged the soldiers in front to charge forward on ladders, and anyone who retreated was beheaded with a single blow.

"This is the supervisory team that your head coach sent over. If it weren't for you taking me in, those brothers who ate with me would have gone up to their deaths."

Commander Liu had also arrived at this place at some point and revealed himself to Ji Chen.

Ji Chen remained noncommittal; he knew that old rascal Liu Shoubei wouldn't side with him for no reason.

In a siege like a city, the White Sun Sect would naturally not send its core members to their deaths.

The initial attrition work could only be done by outsiders like Commander Liu.

"Do you have a bow?"

Ji Chen gazed at the city tower ahead. Enemy soldiers guarding the city occasionally poked their heads out from the battlements, dropping logs that smashed down the newly erected siege ladders, along with the soldiers on them.

"Yes," Commander Liu ordered his men to fetch his bow, asking curiously.

"Brother, you also know archery? This city wall is almost three zhang high, it's not easy to shoot from here."

He was a man who had been the top scholar in the state examination and knew how difficult it was to shoot from the city wall.

Even his formidable rivals, including himself, could only guarantee accuracy within fifty paces; beyond that, they had to rely entirely on instinct.

Ji Chen hummed in response, neither denying nor confirming, leaving Commander Liu unsure of his intentions.

Whether he can shoot or not depends entirely on whether his archery skills can be accelerated, so he can only pretend to be profound and unfathomable.

Before long, Liu Shoubei's personal guards came running over, carrying a longbow.

The bow was as smooth and lustrous as black jade, and now it was gleaming with a dark green light. The lines of the bow arms flowed naturally like water, but the ends concealed sharp edges.

When Ji Chen took it, his wrist felt heavy, and he immediately looked at Commander Liu in surprise.

"I can only draw the eight-stone bow made of ironwood five or six times, but it's nothing compared to you, brother."

Commander Liu habitually flattered Ji Chen, his gaze towards the bow filled with reluctance.

"Brother...please use a lighter touch later, it can't withstand your brute force."

Ji Chen found it awkward; this old man looked like an incompetent husband who had sent his beautiful wife into the clutches of his boss.

Then he remembered that he was indeed his boss, and his face immediately darkened.

Ignoring the guy's resentful gaze, Ji Chen picked up an arrow and nocked it on the bowstring.

The astonishing arm strength gained from practicing the Heaven-Shaking Limitless Palm was now clearly evident.

With a muffled "hum", the dark green longbow was drawn to a full moon shape.

Despite his imposing manner, the moment he started drawing his bow, Liu Shoubei, a seasoned veteran, immediately realized that his boss was a complete novice.

While suppressing his inner pain, he still had to lie and praise:

"My elder brother is truly as strong as a dragon and as powerful as a mountain. Even if the ancient Marquis Wen were alive today, he would not be any more than this."

Ji Chen squinted, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

He knew, of course, that the old man in front of him was full of flattery, and he was also aware of his own abilities, but being praised by Commander Liu made him feel a bit more comfortable.

Ji Chen felt a faint resonance with the emperor.

"No wonder emperors throughout history always kept a few talkative servants by their side."

He thought to himself, "If I'm constantly being criticized by outspoken officials like Wei Zheng, what's the point of being an emperor?"

Just then, Ji Chen saw another group of enemy soldiers on the city wall struggling to carry logs up. He then abandoned all other thoughts and aimed his arrow at the soldier on the right's forehead.

He has excellent eyesight; even from more than 200 meters away, he can clearly see their movements.

Whoosh!

The bowstring twanged like thunder!

The arrows, carrying the force to pierce clouds and split rocks, emitted a sharp, long whistle, attracting the attention of all the experts both on and below the city walls, who then fiercely shot towards Ji Chen's target.

But without a doubt, Ji Chen's shot went wide.

Bang!

The arrow struck the log between the two soldiers. The soldier holding the log felt a sudden jolt in his arms, and his hands immediately lost all feeling, blood gushing from his tiger's mouth.

The log exploded with a bang, throwing two soldiers out, leaving only the inner core of the log, with the arrowhead embedded in it still vibrating incessantly.

As for the arrow shaft, it naturally turned into wood chips and dust upon impact.

Both the attacking and defending sides were stunned for a moment by this arrow, and then there was a commotion.

"Whose general is this, possessing such divine strength!" This is the one guarding the city.

"The Heaven-Shaking Limitless Palm lives up to its name; even arrows can carry its shockwave. It truly deserves to be called the Luo Sect's ultimate technique!"

This was taught by Baiyang.

Commander Liu saw it clearly, wiped the imaginary cold sweat from his forehead, and sincerely praised:

"Big Brother, you're amazing!"

A powerful shot can produce a miracle. Don't worry about whether I hit the target or not, just tell me if I scored!

Zhang Feng was also startled, looking at Ji Chen's still-growing arm muscles with fear in his eyes.

[Human host detected learning...]

[Archery level 0 has been included]

[Calculating based on the human's aptitude, the rarity and difficulty of archery...]

[Calculation complete. Do you wish to consume 2 Dimensional Points to activate the cultivation acceleration function?]

The experiment was a success!

A glint flashed in Ji Chen's eyes, and he activated the accelerated cultivation mode without hesitation.

In an instant, countless archery techniques flooded into his mind like a tidal wave.

How to slightly retract the shoulder blades when drawing the bow to mobilize more back muscle power, where to press the index finger on the arrow shaft to make the arrow fly more steadily, and even how to coordinate the breathing rhythm with the force of drawing the bow are all transformed into clear physical sensations flowing through the limbs and bones.

In just a moment, Ji Chen had mastered the basics of archery.

Compared to the profound and mysterious martial arts techniques, the learning and insights gained from these mortal skills were effortless for him.

Without stopping, Ji Chen spent another 8 dimensional points to activate level 1 archery acceleration.

This digestion took a little longer, but only a minute and a half.

After glancing at the cost of accelerating archery training, which had risen to 25 points, Ji Chen clicked "Confirm" again.

With his eyes closed, Ji Chen felt as if the dark green longbow in his hand had suddenly come to life, and every inch of the bow's arc perfectly matched his palm.

He couldn't help but draw the bowstring again, without even opening his eyes, relying solely on his sense of touch.

call out!

At that moment, all eyes were on him.

The past minute or two was enough for both sides to determine who fired the arrow.

At this moment, he drew his bow again, and countless soldiers on the opposite city wall felt their hearts clench.

They had no idea that Ji Chen was still a novice and that the arrow was fired casually. All they knew was that the arrow had caused them to lose a log.

Of course, their concerns were not unfounded; Ji Chen was no longer a novice in archery at this point.
