Chapter 9, Bows and Arrows
"Double swords?" Ji Yichuan frowned and continued speaking
Wow! Wow!
to be of two minds
Ji Yichuan and Weichi Xue were greatly astonished
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Do you know what it means to be of one mind and two uses?" Ji Yichuan said in a low voice, "It is not merely being distracted while doing something, but rather thinking about two matters simultaneously in one's heart, with no interference between them.
Although the Golden Morning Garment is a treasure, I can pierce it with just a finger. Ji Yichuan looked at his son and said, "These are all external factors. In the future, you are meant to achieve great success in the cultivation of divine and demonic bodies, and the strongest aspect of the divine and demonic is oneself. What you need to do is to strive to tap into your own potential and bring forth your own strength"
A towering building rises from the ground, and even a master archer has had to learn to walk unsteadily at some point
Straighten your waist! Keep your left arm straight!
Meng Yu handed the dark bow in his hand to Ji Ning
"Drink." The bearded Mongolian fish suddenly produced a dark black longbow in his hand, and he was also holding four arrows, as he drew the bowstring back.
"Three, I want the lightness skill and the method of escape," Ji Ning said, "That's all."
"Master Mengyu, won't the stone mill fall and hit someone?" Ji Ning suddenly thought of this and asked.
Wei Chi Xue smiled and said, "What Ning'er mentioned covers the major aspects, but I believe you should focus on practicing with a single sword... There isn't a single dual-sword master in the entire Ji family. When practicing swordsmanship, the greatest taboo is distraction; one must concentrate all their spirit on a single sword to achieve great success"
"Ning'er, think carefully." Wei Chi Xue also looked at her son
Starting tomorrow, I will personally teach you how to practice swordsmanship, " Ji Yichuan said to his son.
I truly can multitask, "Ji Ning said repeatedly
"First, I want to learn archery!" Ji Ning said
Only by having strong survival skills can one live longer. And the longer one lives, the more possibilities there are.
Your mother is right. Ji Yichuan also looked at his son
With both hands, effortlessly writing simultaneously, producing the ancient and intricate hieroglyphs of this world, one hand writes 'Ji Yichuan' while the other writes 'Weichi Xue'. The strokes are perfectly aligned, executed with utmost ease.
There are two types of bows
"Starting today, you must practice archery with your teacher Meng Yu for one hour every morning," Ji Yichuan said. "Consider it your morning training. Meng Yu, I appreciate your assistance."
The rich vitality of heaven and earth enveloped the surroundings in a misty haze, and Ji Ning had already been brought to the training ground by his father
The Ji family excels most in swordsmanship
The next morning at dawn
Begin by following the guidance of the Mongolian fish, starting with learning the correct posture
Ji Ning certainly understands these principles
A strong and foolish giant encounters an assassin skilled in short swords; one glance and he is doomed to die
"Yes," Meng Yu replied respectfully
"Ning'er, you..." Wei Chi Xue was stunned
The foundational stage requires achieving "hands on, eyes on, arrow on" under the basic five forms, ensuring a perfect hit every time before proceeding to the next stage
Standing shot, crouching shot, reverse shot, leaping shot, running shot! Meng Yu looked at Ji Ning and said, "Young master, learning archery is divided into two stages. The first is the foundational stage, and the second is the heart arrow stage"
Physical strength is only one aspect; it is the skills that ultimately determine how much one can achieve. In the world of the past, such as in boxing and sanda, the physical qualities of the top athletes are actually quite similar, and it is more dependent on skills, combat strategies, and other factors.
Secondly, one must be adept at using weapons. For instance, a swordsman, even without any internal energy, can easily pierce the throat of a robust opponent who does not understand how to wield a weapon, as long as he reaches the second realm of swordsmanship, known as 'Unity of Man and Sword.' After all, a powerful internal energy practitioner cannot withstand the sharpness of a sword. " Ji Yichuan spoke slowly.
Ji Ning was left speechless.
Four grinding wheels, each weighing hundreds of pounds, whistled through the air in succession, resembling four cannonballs, and in an instant, they had transformed into black dots in the sky
I want to learn three things" Ji Ning suddenly spoke
No wonder, no wonder the cultivation of "The Chart of the Nine Heavens of Red Brightness" is so rapid. Ji Yichuan said slowly, "It turns out my son's soul is so powerful that he can focus on two things at once"
The second type of bow consists of a resilient bow body and a flexible bowstring. When drawn, the bow body remains stable like a frame, while the bowstring stretches to store energy, generating astonishing elasticity, just like this bow in my hand
"It is an honor for Meng Yu to teach the young master," Meng Yu laughed heartily
... ...
"Jining." Ji Yichuan looked at his son and pointed to a bearded man dressed in animal skins beside him, saying, "This is our Ji family's first archer from the Western Manor, 'Meng Yu'. His archery skills are exceptional. Meng Yu, let this little fellow have a look first."
What!
You possess the divine and demonic body refinement, which will enhance your strength, increase your speed, allow your eyes to see further, enable your ears to hear more clearly, and even improve your body's recovery ability to an astonishing level!" Ji Yichuan looked at his son, "You must transform these into formidable power..."
Ji Yichuan walked directly to the four stone grinding wheels placed in front of him. Each grinding wheel weighed several hundred pounds. He casually grabbed one of the grinding wheels and hurled it into the distance. Following that, he picked up another stone grinding wheel and threw it out as well. In the blink of an eye, all four grinding wheels were whistling as they flew away into the distance
This ... ... also shocked Ji Yichuan
Ji Ning reached out to take the ancient and sturdy longbow, and immediately felt its weight; this longbow must weigh over a hundred pounds. He could not help but examine it closely. The bow body was crafted from a dark metal, polished to a sheen. The bowstring, about the thickness of a finger, emitted a bluish hue, with a terrifying aura faintly surrounding it.
Ji Ning's eyes sparkled with excitement, as the dragon tendons of the great demon Jiao Long served as the bowstring
"Yes, Father." Ji Ning nodded
Impressive
In the heart-arrow stage, do not be overly concerned with posture; focus solely on "the heart reaches, the arrow hits." Do not rely on your eyes, as that is too slow; it must come from the heart! Instantly draw the bow and shoot the arrow to hit the target, as swift as lightning. In critical moments, the key opportunity lasts only for an instant and will not wait for you to aim slowly. When you have mastered the heart-arrow stage, you will have completed your training.
"Tell me, what do you want to learn?" Ji Yichuan looked at his son
Just pull the bowstring and hold that posture, stay there
Ji Ning held two grayish-white stones, feeling somewhat reminiscent of the limestone from his previous life. He immediately took one stone in each hand and began to write, finding the experience of writing on the stones quite pleasant
At the beginning, when he taught earnestly, Meng Yu began to roar. A completely ignorant Ji Ning seemed like a blank sheet of paper, repeatedly being 'yelled' at. Ji Ning could only endure and learn slowly.
stunned for a long time
Ji Ning nodded in agreement
First of all, what you need is a weapon! Ji Yichuan said, "Your strength is ten times greater than that of your opponent, yet a distant arrow from them can still kill you. This is the power of weapons."
The legendary deity Hou Yi once shot nine arrows, killing nine golden crows. Meng Yu laughed heartily, saying, "Young master, this is merely a trivial skill of mine"
One practices the path of demonic body refinement and *illustrated* books, possessing astonishing vision and immense strength... Of course, one must use a bow and arrow... With the power akin to that of a deity or demon, the arrows shot are undoubtedly supersonic, and their power is likely far more terrifying than that of heavy sniper rifles from a past life. A single arrow can strike an enemy from a distance, and based on the knowledge gained from the books, learning to use the bow and arrow is not particularly difficult.
This bow is crafted from Wind Thunder Iron, making it incredibly resilient. The bowstring is even more precious, made from a segment of the dragon tendons of a great Jiao dragon, possessing astonishing elasticity. Even if my strength were to increase tenfold, I would not be able to break this bow. Meng Yu said with a smile, "I have named it the Thunder Dragon Bow"
Father Ji Yichuan, also known by the title "Dripping Water Sword." With such excellent resources, one must certainly learn swordsmanship!
Four arrows shimmered with silver light, vanishing in an instant, already catching up to the four grinding stones that had transformed into black dots, bang bang bang bang The four black dots completely disappeared without a trace
Eyes! Eyes! Are your eyes blind?
Beside him, Ji Yichuan shook his head: "Ji Ning, you must understand that Master Meng Yu is a primordial being. When the true essence is infused into the arrow and shot at that stone mill, it will naturally reduce the stone mill to powder, scattering it everywhere... How could it possibly hit a person"
The entire training ground was quiet, with only Meng Yu and Ji Ning present, not a single servant in sight
Ji Ning was secretly astonished
"Two, I want to learn the sword, dual swords!" Ji Ning said
"Come, let's start by learning the posture." As Meng Yu flipped his hand, an ordinary bow appeared in his grasp
When faced with a formidable enemy, one must be able to escape
Ji Yichuan looked at his son as if gazing upon an extraordinary uncut jade, filled with immense excitement: "I have cultivated to this day, allowing me to focus on two tasks at once. However, I have always concentrated solely on one sword... My heart is set. The path is unchangeable. Yet my son has been able to focus on two tasks since childhood... This is a natural gift; he should wield two swords. The two swords, like two individuals, unleash attacks on the enemy, making it seem as though they are facing two opponents. Moreover, these two opponents are in perfect harmony, effectively increasing their strength tenfold!"
The first type of bow consists of a flexible bow body and a resilient bowstring. When drawn, the bow body bends, generating elastic force from the stored energy in the bow body. This is the most common and relatively ordinary type of bow and arrow, which is relatively easy to craft. Generally, ordinary archers will use such bows
Hmm. Ji Ningzheng nodded.
"Young Master," Meng Yu looked at Ji Ning, "For an archer, the bow and arrows are of utmost importance. An arrow consists of three parts: the arrowhead, the shaft, and the fletching, while the bow is primarily composed of the bow body and the bowstring. Arrows can be produced in large quantities, but bows are precious!"
Ji Yichuan nodded slightly and then turned to leave
Father threw a stone mill weighing hundreds of pounds, tossing it one to two kilometers away? It was like a cannonball! Ji Ning was internally shocked, "This bow and arrow of the Mong fish, it felt like in the blink of an eye, in less than a second, it reached one to two kilometers away. Strictly speaking, the speed... this bow and arrow must have at least two thousand meters per second."
The two of them had actually long had plans for their son in their hearts... After all, in their view, their son was too young, and even though he was clever from a young age, how much could he really understand? However, they still asked their son, allowing him to realize that he should think for himself in all matters, and then they would express their thoughts, enabling their son to grasp the differences therein
Father, Mother, I have been able to multitask since I was young. " Ji Ning looked up at his parents, unable to explain the matter of the "Nüwa Picture," so he could only attribute it to being naturally capable of multitasking.
Then you can give it a try. Ji Yichuan's eyes burst with astonishing brilliance, and with a single flip of his hand, two grayish-white stones appeared. "Use these two stones to write on the ground, write your mother's name with your left hand, and my name with your right hand, write them simultaneously!"
