Journey to the West: We're too early, Nezha is only seven years old.

"Nephew Yang Jian, today's great victory deserves your great credit!" Jiang Ziya said with a smile, raising his cup.

The oppressive atmosphere of the past few months was completely dispelled by a resounding victory.

Although the Chaoge army has not yet been defeated, it is foreseeable that it will not be long before the Chaoge army is defeated.

"Marshal, we are unworthy of such great merit. Today's battle..." Yang Jian said, his gaze sweeping across the tent. Not finding Zhou Xiaobai, he changed the subject, "I wonder why the four Demon Generals didn't use the 'Mixed Yuan Pearl Umbrella,' nor did they send out the Flower Fox Sable!"

He had originally planned to mention Zhou Xiaobai's contributions, but Zhou Xiaobai hadn't shown up, and since he had already presented an archery technique, it was considered a reward for Zhou Xiaobai.

"There's something fishy about this!" Jiang Ziya nodded slightly.

"Why don't I infiltrate the enemy camp tonight and find out the reason behind it!" Yang Jian said confidently.

He was skilled in transformation, so sneaking into the enemy camp was not difficult for him.

"You've worked so hard, my nephew!" Jiang Ziya agreed with a smile.

He wouldn't feel at ease until he found out the reason.

Nezha hesitated to speak, clearly unwilling to betray his brother Zhou Xiaobai.

"Forget it, let Yang Jian investigate. He'll find out about the missing 'Mixed Yuan Pearl Umbrella'!" he thought to himself.

"Marshal, please wait a moment, I'll be right back!" Yang Jian said, and then transformed into a small bird and flew out of the tent.

He flew over the city wall and then flew a distance before seeing the Chaoge camp.

Thinking that the bird might be too conspicuous, he transformed back into a butterfly and flew in through the wooden wall of the camp.

Just as they flew over a few tents, a gong sounded, followed by the firing of several arrows.

One of the arrows flew past Yang Jian, who had transformed into a butterfly, startling him. He never expected the Chaoge camp to be so vigilant.

He would notice even if a butterfly flew in, so how could he know the reason?

Ever since the four generals of the Demon Clan lost the "Mixed Pearl Umbrella," they knew that there were skilled infiltrators in the Xiqi army, and they had long been on guard.

Yang Jian was unlucky; he stumbled right in without knowing what was going on.

The butterfly fell downwards, and upon landing, it transformed into a mouse.

Even with many torches and lanterns in the military camp at night, it's impossible to provide complete illumination, making it easy for tiny mice to hide.

However, the Chaoge camp was alerted today, and all the soldiers were mobilized, thwarting Yang Jian's plan to infiltrate.

Frustrated, he sneaked out of the camp and returned to the city.

Jiang Ziya kept his eyes on the tent flap, waiting for Yang Jian to return.

Suddenly, the tent flap moved, and Yang Jian entered from outside.

"Haha, my nephew is indeed exceptionally capable, returning in such a short time!" Jiang Ziya laughed heartily.

Yang Jian looked ashamed and bowed to Jiang Ziya with clasped hands, unable to utter a single word.

Jiang Ziya's smile faded; he too had noticed Yang Jian's unease.

"But something went wrong?" Jiang Ziya asked.

"The defenses of Chaoge are as solid as an iron barrel; I cannot use any of my myriad transformations!" Yang Jian replied, turning his head to the side.

As he turned his head, he caught a glimpse of Nezha's ambiguous smile.

He glared at Nezha fiercely; if the occasion hadn't been inappropriate, he would have loved to spar with him.

Nezha knew perfectly well why Yang Jian had failed; anyone who had been robbed once would be on guard.

"I forgot to tell you, Nezha once infiltrated the Chaoge camp and retrieved the stolen magic weapon. I'm afraid that's why the Chaoge camp was prepared!" Jiang Ziya then remembered what had happened and explained.

Yang Jian understood why Nezha was laughing at him, and he was even angrier that Nezha hadn't told him beforehand.

Today's great victory established his authority in front of the generals of Xiqi, but he lost face in the evening. How will he lead the army in the future?

The next day, Zhou Xiaobai left Xiaobu at the granary and took the "Void-Breaking Bow" to the archery range.

Last night, the Demon Child spent an hour practicing the "Nine Heavens Thunder Arrow Technique" to perfection, bringing this archery technique of the Heavenly Court's Thunder Department to its ultimate level.

Zhou Xiaobai absorbed the Demon Child's insights into the "Nine Heavens Thunder Arrow Technique." This perfect level still needs to be combined with actual combat to be effective. He came to the archery range to integrate his insights into himself.

There was no one else at the archery range in the morning. He held the "Void-Breaking Bow" and drew back the bowstring.

Strange lightning patterns flickered between his fingers, and the arrows that formed were no longer made of ordinary magic power, but were shaped like a bolt of lightning.

He released his grip, and the lightning arrow vanished between his fingers. The target a hundred meters away was blasted into pieces by the lightning arrow with a loud 'boom'.

Within a ten-meter radius around the target, electric light flashed continuously in the void.

"This power is truly terrifying!" he muttered to himself, looking at the destruction he had caused.

This is just a normal lightning arrow attack from the "Nine Heavens Thunder Arrow Technique". If it were used in actual combat, in addition to the target hit, all enemies within a ten-meter radius would be affected by the lightning.

His current cultivation level is too low. If his cultivation level were higher, the area covered by this lightning arrow would increase, and its power would be even greater.

The Heavenly Court controls lightning and possesses the most powerful application of it.

Of course, even if a being were of equal strength to Zhou Xiaobai and used the same 'Void-Breaking Bow', it would not be able to unleash such power.

This is because his main cultivation technique is the "Great Celestial Immortal Technique", which naturally enhances the "Nine Heavens Thunder Arrow Technique".

Zhou Xiaobai was practicing the secret technique of "Nine Heavens Thunder Arrow" when he discovered that Yang Jian had arrived.

Yang Jian saw Zhou Xiaobai's arrow just now, and he was secretly amazed by Zhou Xiaobai's archery talent.

Although he also possesses such talent, and can master archery techniques like the "Nine Heavens Thunder Arrow Technique" in a short time, what is his background, and what is Zhou Xiaobai's background?

He suppressed the urge to use his vertical eye to examine Zhou Xiaobai. He had been warned by Nezha that if he used his vertical eye in person, it would be tantamount to completely offending both Zhou Xiaobai and Nezha.

He knew Zhou Xiaobai's background; he was merely a dragon prince from the East Sea Dragon Palace. Given the current state of the dragon race, a dragon prince's talent should be extremely limited.

"He must have a secret!" Yang Jian thought to himself.

However, I am not here today to expose Zhou Xiaobai's secret. In this world, every living being who becomes famous has their own destiny.

"Congratulations, Brother Ao, on mastering the 'Nine Heavens Thunder Arrow Technique'!" he said with a smile.

"I should be thanking you!" Zhou Xiaobai replied, putting away the 'Void-Breaking Bow'.

"I see you've also cultivated the 'Eight-Nine Arcane Arts.' I have a Nine-Turn Golden Pill from Laozi that can help you advance one turn in a short time!" Yang Jian changed the subject.

Having cultivated the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts" himself, and with the blessing of his divine eyes, he could naturally see the traces of the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts" on Zhou Xiaobai's body, and thus said something extremely tempting to Zhou Xiaobai.

To be honest, Zhou Xiaobai was really tempted.

He is currently in the mid-stage of the first level of the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts". If he can advance to the second level, it will be equivalent to him having the combat power of a Celestial Immortal. However, he also knows that there is no free lunch in the world.
