Defying the Fate of Beheading

Chapter 193: Shooting Spears at the Gate? No it’s Stringing Your Heart and My Heart Together (4000 words)_2


Louis looked at her, and the little swan smiled and said:

"I researched what you mentioned, and indeed, it's quite different from what you described."

Due to various reasons, the abilities in various fields on Star Continent are explosively strong, but there seems to be a lack of sufficient understanding in the microscopic domain.

Louis simply explained the concept of cells to the little swan.

At that time, the little swan told him she wanted to go back and study human cells.

"Not the same?"

Louis was asking about the difference between the cells of Star Continent humans and the cells as he understood them.

The little swan shook her head:

"There are indeed some differences. I need to spend more time delving into this area of research."

"The possibility of quickly achieving results is very low."

Louis nodded, "It's okay, study it first."

But the next second, the little swan said:

"However, I discovered something very interesting... first activate the Sin Dragon Armament."

Without hesitation, Louis activated the Sin Dragon Armament.

If Louis hadn't reminded her, Olivia might not have noticed, but with his reminder, she easily found a structure within the human body similar to cells.

Or rather... these are the cells possessed by the people of this world.

Not long after returning, she ran to the White Tower to decompose cell structures and deeply analyze gene fragments. After doing control groups, she discovered many interesting phenomena.

"Your Sin Dragon Armament... can directly make temporary adjustments to muscle cells?"

"Even though I had guessed so previously, seeing it in reality is still surprising."

Louis furrowed his brow and said:

"What do you mean?"

"Literally, the Sin Dragon Armament is like a temporary gene modulator, capable of adjusting your body cells, especially muscle cells, into a dragon-like state for a short period."

Louis's mind buzzed.

Goodness.

This Sin Dragon Armament goes even further than the former Sapphire Dragon King who attempted to fuse various bloodlines into the dragon lineage.

It directly allows him to possess a dragon-like body structure.

What is this supposed to be?

Is a human body so limited that I cease to be human?

"In this state, your muscle cells have special proteins that far exceed ordinary humans..."

The little swan clicked her tongue in wonder.

The first thing Louis thought of was the antimyostatin proteins in muscle cells.

Generally speaking, the more antimyostatin proteins present, the stronger the cells' resistance to tensile injuries and deformation.

In some sense, antimyostatin proteins represent the strength of a human individual's "talent" in certain aspects.

"Will these things harm me?"

The little swan shook her head, "I can't guarantee, but this is like the kind of microscopic surgery you told me about, capable of directly arranging some dragon protein in a special distribution."

"This method can allow you to gain the physical strength a dragon should have in a shorter time."

"Your Highness, it's time for His Highness Louis to begin training."

Not understanding what they were talking about, Lumi gently reminded:

The little swan nodded.

Lumi took out a compound bow crafted according to Louis's requirements from a dimensional bag.

Louis received it and looked at the unknown wood bow handle, the intricate handle plate connection base, the bow limbs, the wooden honeycomb arrow rest, the stabilizer bar, the D-ring, the eccentric wheel set, and the axle group.

It didn't differ much from the compound bows he had seen in his previous life.

Although many parts could be upgraded, given the current materials Lumi could find, this compound bow was already the best she could achieve.

However, anyone who sees this compound bow will surely be shocked by its weight.

Ordinary compound bows are significantly smaller compared to heavy bows, relying more on the terrifying burst brought by bearing rotation for their destructive power.

Though, the bowstring was an issue.

In his previous life, the bowstring for compound bows was commonly made from high-strength polyethylene.

Which is an excellent material known as Dyneema in modern bowstrings.

He initially thought that since this alternate world lacked Dyneema, other high-strength materials would be notably inferior.

—Until Beatrice brought dragon tendons for Lumi.

Now Louis very much suspected that dragons were actually artificially created composite weapon factories.

The strength of the dragon tendons was even higher than the Dyneema he had frequently encountered in his previous life.

Much higher indeed.

He took a deep breath.

Strung the bow, adjusted, nocked an arrow, drew the bow...

Pulled the bow like a full moon, the arrow like a shooting star, accompanied by a sharp whistling wind, an arrow shot out instantly.

The poundage of the compound bow was a whopping 150 pounds.

It was a compound bow of the kind that hadn't appeared on Earth in his previous life.

Firstly, after bearing amplification, a regular compound bow's damage had already reached a certain height. There was no need to obsessively pursue higher poundage.

On the other hand, even if you could adjust a compound bow to 1000 or 2000 pounds, you'd face the issue of who could draw such a compound bow.

For the current Louis, 150 pounds was merely a warm-up.

At least judging by the restoration of the body state acquired via the succubus constitution, using this poundage of a compound bow had negligible physical expenditure.

Nock an arrow, draw the bow, the bow like an arced moon.

The arrows shot with explosive force pierced through, whistling through the forest leaves, accompanied by a dull thud.

A bird in the sky fell straight to the ground.

Blood continuously gushed from its body, yet no arrows could be seen sticking in it.

To be precise, the fragile arrow shaft had instantly snapped when it hit due to the arrow's excessive speed.

Lumi instinctively exclaimed in admiration.

What remarkable skill!

Though it seemed His Highness Louis might have learned archery before.

Nocking again, shooting again.

Nocking again, shooting again.

If someone stood next to Louis, they would notice the speed at which he launched arrows, fast beyond ordinary comparison.

In his previous life, an ordinary archer's time from releasing an arrow to drawing the bow was two-thirds slower than Louis's current shooting speed.

Not to mention that Louis currently held 150 pounds of compound bow, not a 20 or 30-pound recurve bow.

"Not enough! Not enough! Still far from it!"

Louis sighed.

Lumi displayed a subtle expression: "It's okay, the bowstring can still be further adjusted."

After saying that, she directly adjusted the 150-pound compound bow to 300 pounds.

Louis did not stop her.

The individual strength of an Extraordinary already surpassed his previous life's understanding of humans.

Don't even mention a 300-pound compound bow.

Even with a 150-pound compound bow, thanks to its excellent energy-saving structure, it can completely exert the destructive power of a recurve bow over 240 pounds.

Many might not comprehend what kind of concept this is?

Take the Song Dynasty from his previous life; the draw weights of combat bows ranged from 48 to 81 pounds.

In the Ming Dynasty, it was about 42 to 108 pounds.

If the record of Lü Bu shooting a halberd at the gate were real, his arrow could likely reach around 195 meters.

Converted into recurve bow poundage, that bow would be approximately between 150 and 200 pounds.

In terms of destructive power alone, a 150-pound compound bow has surpassed the power of Lü Bu's bow.

Combined with the compound bow's capability to finely calibrate the arrows and Louis' meticulous mastery of his muscles,

he could completely replicate the legendary feat of Lü Bu shooting a halberd with even greater prowess.

More crucially, Lü Bu's feat wasn't his normal state.

Louis could indeed treat this tremendous shooting ability as his basic attack.

—He doesn't even need to imbue it with blood energy or other extraordinary powers.

And now, he directly doubled this bow's destructive power!

"This is truly... amazing!"

He again drew the 300-pound compound bow to its full extent, shot an arrow, and that terrifying power instantly propelled the arrow to eject.

Then he unhesitatingly repeated the earlier process.

Draw the bow.

Shoot.

Draw the bow again.

Shoot again.

Lumi's expression shifted from admiration to increasing astonishment.

Finally, she could only sigh.

Is this what they mean by new talents emerging from every generation?

Even without attaching any extraordinary power, he could achieve such terrifying destructive power; this is the power of science.

A more reasonable energy-saving structure allows for a higher efficiency conversion rate.

Generally, a 70-pound compound bow was sufficient for hunting wild boars.

At 300 pounds, taking a hit within the effective range isn't much different from being hit by a sniper bullet.

The enemy might as well sing a song before going down, something like, "Let's thread your heart, my heart, together."

Lumi said:

"Your Highness, let's pause for now, and I'll teach you how to use more advanced archery techniques."
