Chapter 110: Chapter 109: Throwing Arrow

Wu Bingji felt Gu Li's unusual gaze and smiled, saying, "You should learn more from Xiao Tang. His insights into cultivation are incredibly formidable. After chatting with him a few times, my perception of the ice element has distinctly changed. However, your Time Variation Seal is quite special."Gu Li nodded his head, showing increasing approval for this new junior disciple.

Tang San asked, "Big brother, what do you think of the ice cone as a method of attack?"

Wu Bingji answered, "Remote attack. Speed, piercing. And then there is the coverage of quantity."

Tang San nodded and said, "It shares an uncanny similarity with my wind blade. But in reality, since the ice cone has a physical form, its might should be greater than that of the wind blade. The advantage of the wind blade lies in its versatility; it attacks from the trickiest angles by taking advantage of its rotation and the freedom of the wind element. The ice cone is different. I believe the ice cone's chief characteristic is in piercing. So, how can we make its piercing ability stronger? First is the hardness of the ice cone; the more compressed and compact the ice cone, the harder it becomes. Then comes speed. The faster it is, the stronger its kinetic energy, the greater its impact force, and naturally, the stronger its piercing power. If the ice cone is cultivated to perfection, it should be compressed into an ice needle, because the smaller the volume, the stronger the piercing ability. A powerful ice needle should be able to specifically break through various defensive methods."

Gu Li laughed and said, "The way you describe it is almost chilling! But the things you're talking about, big brother must have already noticed, right?"

Wu Bingji said somewhat helplessly, "I learned the Ice Element Compression from him. Xiao Tang, so what you mean is, to make the ice cone stronger, one aspect is to compress its volume as much as possible to be more solid, and the other is to increase its speed."

Tang San nodded and continued, "If an ice cone weighs one pound, then under the same weight, the smaller the volume, the greater its power will definitely be. As for speed, that's the technique I'm going to teach you. When using this technique, you need to effectively fuse your body strength with bloodline power and then channel it into the ice cone. You can even add your spiritual power to it, granting the ice cone even stronger piercing ability, making the enemy have nowhere to hide."

Wu Bingji smiled and said, "That sounds very impressive, can you show me?" While speaking, he condensed an ice cone in his palm and handed it to Tang San.

This was a regular ice cone, half a foot long and weighing about half a pound.

The ice cone felt cool to the touch but showed no sign of melting; at least, not melting in a short time. This was achievable only when ice element control was cultivated to a certain extent.

"Big brother, watch closely," Tang San's eyes suddenly brightened, yet they were not the green of the Wind Wolf Transformation.

The Mysterious Heaven Method was activated, and in an instant, Tang San's entire aura changed.

His gaze wasn't focused on Wu Bingji and Gu Li, but both of them could clearly sense a solemn atmosphere emanating from him.

Concentration, at this moment Tang San became incredibly focused. The ice cone in his hand seemed to have an inward feeling, as if it had disappeared, or as if it had completely merged with Tang San.

The next instant, Tang San half-turned his body, with his waist driving his shoulders, his shoulders driving his arms, and the ice cone in his hand being flung out like lightning.

The ice cone nearly vanished in mid-air instantaneously without making a single sound, disappearing into thin air. With Wu Bingji's cultivation base, all he saw was a flash of light, and the ice cone was already gone, much faster than the ice cones he usually shot out—a difference of more than double in speed.

At the moment the ice cone was thrown, both Wu Bingji and Gu Li felt a tightness in their scalps. In that instant, they clearly felt the surging bloodline aura within Tang San's body.

"Impressive..." Wu Bingji had barely uttered two words when, approximately thirty meters away, a small tree suddenly leaned over slowly with a series of rustling noises as its branches and leaves collided.

Gu Li was left with his mouth agape in awe. The ice cone? It had done just that. A small tree thirty meters away had simply been broken?

Wu Bingji, too, was utterly shocked. Could the power of a single ice cone reach such a level? Searᴄh the nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Tang San turned to Wu Bingji and said with a smile, "For remote attacks, it's essential to integrate spirit, essence, and energy into one. Only in this way can you prevent the enemy from escaping. No matter the power of the attack, it must hit the opponent to unleash its true potential; otherwise, it's meaningless. Fast, accurate, ruthless! Spirit, essence, energy! These are the six true words of remote attack. The eldest brother can experience it for himself. This technique is called the throwing arrow. It's not complicated, but it's not easy to master it to perfection."

"Throwing arrow, what a brilliant throwing arrow!" Wu Bingji's eyes sparkled with excitement. For a moment, he felt eager to get started.

Tang San didn't avoid Gu Li, who was nearby, and immediately explained in detail to Wu Bingji how to use the throwing arrow and how to exert force with the technique.

Wu Bingji listened attentively, and Gu Li was also listening carefully. Some of the techniques for exerting force were eye-opening for him and led to significant insights.

Coming here was really the right decision! That's what Gu Li felt.

After Tang San finished speaking, Wu Bingji was already impatient. "You two go up and rest first. I'll keep watch tonight and then practice the throwing arrow." He had an Ice Element Body, so the day's exertion didn't count for much, and now, with his excitement, he didn't feel tired at all.

"Sure," Tang San agreed and was about to climb up the tree to rest when Gu Li pulled him back.

"Xiao Tang," Gu Li chuckled, "about that method you promised me for defeating Zhang Zebin, when do you plan to start teaching me?"

Tang San smiled and said, "No rush, elder brother. You should rest first. We still need to maintain our best condition for tomorrow. If there aren't any unexpected events tomorrow, I will start teaching you tomorrow night."

"Alright, then it's a deal," Gu Li said. After seeing the throwing arrow, he had complete faith in Tang San. If the eldest brother could learn skills from him, then so could he!

It wasn't until midnight that Wu Bingji notified Tang San to take over for him and even showed Tang San the progress he had made with his throwing arrow practice.

After Tang San corrected him for a while, the elder brother went to meditate contentedly.

Wu Bingji indeed possessed quite remarkable comprehension ability, and the throwing arrow was a relatively basic technique among the Hundred Solutions to Tang Sect's Secret Weapons, making it not too difficult to learn. With his profound cultivation base, he had grasped the essence of it in just one night; the rest was just a matter of practice.

The night passed relatively peacefully. The next morning, when everyone woke up, they found that Du Bai had rolled from the top of the trunk to the side. Fortunately, the rope tied around him prevented him from falling off the tree.

The journey continued.

Based on the previous day's pace, it would take them two more days to enter the Winged Tiger's main activity area. How long it would take to find the Winged Tiger after entering its territory was something they couldn't judge at the moment.

However, the feeling of achieving something was quite pleasant. Wu Bingji was no longer as cautious as on the first day. When encountering Demon Beasts, they took the initiative to fight them, sharpening their teamwork by battling the beasts, provided they didn't encounter a herd of them.

Tang San had undoubtedly become the core of the group. Wu Bingji willingly ceded authority, allowing Tang San to instruct everyone on teamwork issues.

Throughout the day, they proceeded intermittently, stopping more often for battles. Consequently, their pace slowed down, but they acquired six Demon Beasts in total, the strongest being Fifth Stage, and the weakest Fourth Stage. While individually these were not as valuable as the Ground-piercing Lizard, altogether, the gain was quite substantial.

Being members of Redemption Academy meant that everyone was intelligent. With the increase in battles and Tang San's leadership, their coordination gradually improved.
