Back on the Water Cloud, Miss You looked at him with a smile.
"When did you learn this archery skill?" she asked with a smile.
"I learned it in Anle Village," replied Wang Mu. "I was just a mortal then, learning it from hunting."
"Archery is considered a minor skill in the Cultivation World," Miss You said. "However, in Brother Mu's hands, it can still be quite powerful. In ancient times, members of the Ancient Image Clan in Ling Province used bows and arrows to shoot down the Sun Essence Fire above the nine heavens, achieving noteworthy feats."
"Moreover, this skill is difficult to learn and master, and the requirements in all aspects are even harder than what your Sword Sect requires for Lerner Sword. The inherent power is also quite tremendous..."
As she spoke, Miss You pursed her lips and said, "Brother Mu, I'd like to learn it as well."
Wang Mu was taken aback. An Ascension Realm expert wants to learn this? For what purpose?
"I sense a Nascent Soul Realm sea beast causing trouble up ahead..." Miss You said. "You can't handle it right now, but I want to give it a try. Will you teach me archery?"
"Alright," Wang Mu didn't refuse.
If she had an interest and wanted to have some fun learning, he certainly wouldn't be a spoilsport.
The common archery skills Wang Mu knew mostly came from techniques he and the village chief had summarized from hunting; the true archery skills belonged to the two styles from the Ancient Image Clan.
Wang Mu only knew one of them, and he passed this one style on to Miss You.
However, it seemed she had no talent in this area; no matter how much she tried, she couldn't learn it. Even drawing the bow felt awkward.
Wang Mu found this odd. Ascension Realm experts should theoretically learn quickly, able to grasp related concepts by analogy. Typical skills could usually be comprehended with a sweep of Divine Sense. At this realm, the focus was on comprehending the principles governing the powers of heaven and earth, which were full of profound mysteries. It was impossible to say that anything was unlearnable...
After a bit of thought, Wang Mu understood Miss You's little scheme.
He walked over to stand behind her. He reached his arms around her from behind, his hands brushing past the sides of her chest as they settled on her arms, guiding her own hands to the Ten Thousand Beast Heavenly Tribulation.
Miss You's body trembled, and she chided, "Brother Mu, what are you doing?"
"Teaching you archery. Aren't you having trouble learning?" Wang Mu said. I see right through your little scheme.
Their bodies pressed seamlessly together. Wang Mu rested his head on Miss You's shoulder, one hand guiding hers to draw the bow, the other on the string.
"Is this how you're supposed to teach?" Miss You hummed lightly. "You just want to take advantage of me!"
"So are you going to learn or not?"
"Learn..."
Wang Mu, guiding her hands with his own, briefly explained the two archery styles and various techniques. Then, drawing the bow together, they slowly loosed an arrow.
The turbulent waves ahead vanished in an instant.
A fierce bird as large as a peng appeared out of the waves.
"Brother Mu, let's shoot it!" Miss You exclaimed, her gaze excitedly fixed on the fierce bird. "That is a Nascent Soul Stage fierce bird, the Yin Splitting Peng. Ao Qing reported that it has been hunting the Water Clan Spirits in the Bibo Sea lately..."
"Then you should exert your own strength; I can't deal with it," Wang Mu replied.
Considering a Nascent Soul Stage fierce bird, Wang Mu contemplated that, at his current progress, the Ten Thousand Beast Heavenly Tribulation should be fully charged in about half a month.
Thinking this, Wang Mu was about to let go.
"Don't let go!" Miss You twisted her body. "I still don't quite get it... I didn't remember what you just said."
Right, right. An Ascension Realm expert like you can't remember something so simple?
Wang Mu didn't expose Miss You's little scheme. With one hand, he embraced her slender waist, while with the other, he gestured towards the bowstring and said, "Now you must know how, right?"
"Not... not sure. I still have to give it a try..."
Miss You stretched the Ten Thousand Beast Heavenly Tribulation to its most dramatic arc.
Seeing this, Wang Mu's mouth twitched. Damn it! With my current realm and strength, there's no way I could draw it this far.
Just how strong is Immortal Bi You?
And judging by the relaxed expression on her face, she clearly hasn't even exerted much effort yet?
Wang Mu thought, I still have a long way to go.
An arrow shot out. It wasn't very powerful and its momentum was hesitant, twisting as it flew, yet it accurately struck the peng bird, effortlessly bringing it down!
"We did it!" Miss You cheered softly, seemingly quite excited, and turned her head to kiss Wang Mu on the cheek.
Wang Mu was speechless.
Seeing her excitement, he didn't think it was feigned. Wang Mu thought that perhaps what she was actually interested in was not archery, but rather the thrill of hunting these Evil Beasts together.
In the following ten-plus days, Miss You led Wang Mu in suppressing more than a dozen troublesome Evil Beasts in the Biyou Sea. The Bibo Sea grew increasingly calm and tranquil, its appearance completely refreshed compared to a few months prior. This continued until the Ten Thousand Beast Heavenly Tribulation was fully charged.
The Ten Thousand Beast Heavenly Tribulation then burst with dazzling purple lightning, electrical arcs continuously swirling around the bow.
Wang Mu grasped it, faintly sensing that something seemed to be brewing inside the Ten Thousand Beast Heavenly Tribulation.
"It's a True Spirit."
Miss You's gaze was deep blue, her interest apparently piqued. "This bow can nurture an elf of heaven and earth. The Ten Thousand Beast Heavenly Tribulation from the Ancient Image Clan really is extraordinary, and Brother Mu, for you to have forged it is even more exceptional..."
Before long, a petite Thunder Spirit emerged slowly from the flickering lightning of the Ten Thousand Beast Heavenly Tribulation.
Thunder Spirit Evil Punishment (100/100).
This Thunder Spirit resembled a miniature lightning bolt. It darted around the Ten Thousand Beast Heavenly Tribulation before flickering over to Wang Mu.
He felt a slight tingling sensation.
"The Ten Thousand Beast Heavenly Tribulation was crafted by you... and that Small Tribulation Cloud was overcome by you, Brother Mu," Miss You said. "This Little Thunder Spirit is very close to you. Also, this little guy has great potential for growth. If you encounter some strong lightning in the future, you might want to let it absorb some; it could evolve."
