"Hmm. Alright then" The sect master said.
Then looking at the other sect masters whose faces had turned ashen and had livid expressions in them due to the death of many of their disciples, he said, "Esteemed sect masters, we have to look for this devil. We must find it and make it pay for what it did. We can't let it escape from us"
And once the sect master said that, the other sect masters quickly flew away in a particular direction to go find Xiao Lin before he could escape.
...
- Azure Firestorm Archer's mansion -
Many days later, eleven days to be precise, Xiao Lin finally received the full transmission of the legacy arts and methods of the Azure Firestorm Archer.
And once he finally did, he stood to his feet and called out to the legacy-bestowing spirit.
"Yes, what is it?" It asked.
"I am done. And I want to leave this place." Xiao Lin said.
"Alright." The legacy-bestowing spirit said.
It then spoke further by asking "But would you like to receive my master's inheritance, I mean his bow?"
"Oh. I would like to" Xiao Lin hurriedly replied.
"Okay" The legacy-bestowing spirit said.
Then a ray of light suddenly shot towards Xiao Lin and transformed into a spatial ring which began to float in front of him.
Xiao Lin then grabbed the ring and began to look into it.
Then when he saw the bow, his eyes glowed with delight.
"What an amazing weapon" Xiao Lin said as he looked at the bow that induced the great feeling of power within him.
The bow which was entirely azure in color, and even had it bowstring colored in azure, had a really profound inscription of texts in it surface which made it seem like it was a really ancient weapon.
He then called the bow to his hands which he grasped. But upon appearing in his hand, he was dragged to the floor with it as the bow was tremendously heavy for him to carry.
"Damn! What weight" Xiao Lin said.
He then looked at the legacy-bestowing spirit floating before him in the air and asked, "legacy-bestowing spirit, why didn't you warn me on time about the heaviness of the bow. It could have crushed my hands to paste you know."
"I know it won't. Your hands are too tough to be easily crushed into bits by the bow." The legacy-bestowing spirit said.
It then continued "And you can call me Azure Bow spirit. I find the legacy-bestowing spirit a little too weird for me."
"Alright" Xiao Lin said.
He then released the handle of the bow from his tight grasp and stood to his feet.
And once he did so, he looked at the bow on the ground for sometime before looking at the Azure Bow Spirit floating in the air.
"The bow, what is it called? And what is it capable of doing? And by the way, you haven't given me it arrows? Or can it produce arrows by itself once it bowstring is pulled?" Xiao Lin asked one after the other excitedly.
"The bow is called the Heavenly Carnage Azure Bow. And it is capable of turning arrows shot from it into arrows that can destroy entire villages." The Azure Bow Spirit replied.
It then continued "Yes, it has arrows that are unique to it. They are called the Heavenly Carnage Azure Arrows which are capable of piercing through the most hardest material that you will ever come across."
"Wow!" Xiao Lin uttered with delight in his tone.
"This is really great" Xiao Lin said.
He then looked at the Azure Bow Spirit floating in the air and asked "So, where are the arrows? Can I get them too?"
"No. Not yet. Until you are strong enough to be able to lift my master's bow would you be able to receive the arrows."
"They are also as heavy as the bow. But by virtue of the profound power condensed into them by my master, they would become as light as a feather, and can travel at speeds many times faster than that of lightning. And possessing great penetration power as a result of the enigmatic core of power condensed into them, they can pierce through almost everything, therefore making them nigh-unstoppable once they are shot out from the bow" The Azure Bow Spirit said.
"That's nice. Wish I was strong already. I would use it to shoot down my enemies, especially my dad. When I shoot the arrows of the bows at him without him expecting it, let's see how he is going to survive it. Arrogant and egoistic evil scum that shouldn't have been brought into this world in the first place" Xiao Lin said with a brilliant glow of hatred in his eyes.
"Alright" Xiao Lin said looking at the Azure Bow Spirit.
He then continued "And stronger, I will become on time. I need to start making use of this powerful bow"
And once he said that, he looked at the Azure Bow Spirit and asked, "The Heavenly Carnage Azure arrows, how many are they? Are they up to ten thousand in numbers?"
"More than, inheritor. My master spent most of his time making his powerful arrows more than cultivating. He loved creating things more than cultivating, since it was way more fun than cultivation which was really boring to him." The Azure Bow Spirit said.
"Oh. That's really nice." Xiao Lin said.
Then after some thoughts popped up in his mind, he looked at the Azure Bow Spirit and asked with a curious gaze in his eyes, "How do I get to make use of the bow? Do I have to bind myself to it by blood, or I don't need to do such? And, the arrows that you mentioned about earlier, are they arrows other than the Heavenly Carnage Azure Arrows, or they are also part of it but less powerful?"
"No. There is no need for you to bind yourself to it by blood. It doesn't need to be bound by blood to the wielder or possessor. Therefore, that means that if you are killed or knocked unconscious, someone else can take it and become the owner."
"And a good example of that is like how you took the sword and bow that belonged to that disciple that studies under the Heavenly Ghost Monarch."
"But I trust that you wouldn't really let that happen, right?" The Azure Bow Spirit asked.
Then without waiting for Xiao Lin to give a response to the questions that it asked him, it continued "Then for your other question, yes, they are arrows other than the Heavenly Carnage Azure Arrows. Due to the mysterious power of my master's sun-chasing skill which he channeled into the bow and then transformed into a core of power within the bow, any type of arrow that makes contact with the body and bowstring of the bow, becomes imbued with a sliver of that power of my master's sun-chasing skill. So, such arrows possesses great destructive power and shocking penetration power."
"Hmm. Alright" Xiao Lin said.
He then tried returning the bow into the spatial ring that the Azure Bow Spirit gave him.
However, he discovered to his shock that he couldn't do so, as the bow was really heavy for him to move back into the spatial ring using his mind.
But since he was a stubborn and really persistent person, he continued to do so.
However, many moments later, he gave up.
He then looked up at the Azure Bow Spirit before and asked asked, "How do I store the bow into the spatial ring that you gave me?"
"I thought you weren't going to bring my attention to it" The Azure Bow Spirit said.
It then continued, "Like I said, you are still too weak to move the bow here and here. Even to store the bow into any spatial ring using your mind, would he tremendously difficult for you."
Then after it said that, it spoke further "Alright. I will help you do that."
Immediately it said that, the bow vanished off from the floor of the mansion and rematerialized in the spatial ring that it gave to Xiao Lin.
The instant the bow appeared in the spatial ring, Xiao Lin quickly stowed the ring into his own spatial ring. And from the way that he moved, one would have a definite feeling that he quickly stored the spatial ring containing the bow into his spatial ring like as if the Azure Bow Spirit was going to collect it back from him and keep it somewhere out of his reach.
Seeing what Xiao Lin abruptly did, the Azure Bow Spirit that floated in the air, said with an unexplainable emotion in its tone, "Inheritor, that wasn't necessary. I wasn't going to collect it from you. It's yours. So, you should keep it."
"I know. I did that just in case you changed your mind and decided to retrieve the spatial ring from me." Xiao Lin said with a smile appearing in his face.
He then continued, "And my name isn't Inheritor. It's Xiao Lin. You can call me Xiao Lin. And if you like, you can call me Bloodfang."
