Lumi looked at him and said:

"Let's go, the area is ready for you. You need to proceed with your training there."

Louis followed her to the outskirts, to a forest off the main road outside Tino City, where she led the group inside.

Only to see Lumi clap her hands, a pair of pale hands emerged from her shadow, handing her a 20-centimeter-high cage.

Louis's gaze fell on the cage, noticing a crimson bird inside.

These days, as his reading speed increased, Louis mastered more and more knowledge.

He recognized the bird's true form at a glance.

"A Kupari Bird?"

It is rumored that on the East Caucasus Plateau, there exists a race that lives nomadically.

History books refer to them as the Shepherd Tribe.

As a sub-species of humans, the Shepherd people are brave and skilled archers, having produced many renowned sharpshooters in history.

The reason for the abundance of these sharpshooters is the Kupari Bird.

Kupari, in the traditional dialect of the Shepherd people, is a homophone for "lightning."

As the name suggests, this small Kupari Bird flies as fast as lightning.

The Shepherd people were originally ordinary nomads.

But their homeland was surrounded by numerous Kupari Birds.

A true hunter should treat all visible opponents as game.

The Shepherd Tribe always had such individuals.

Their ultimate challenge was to hunt the Kupari Bird.

This bird's speed is simply too fast.

So fast that ordinary people's dynamic vision cannot keep up.

Moreover, it is extremely sensitive to magic power and other extraordinary energies.

Conventional extraordinary traps are hardly able to ensnare them.

Additionally, legends say that the ancestors of the Kupari Bird once consumed the flesh and blood of an Ancient Dragon King, granting them bodies as resilient as dragons.

If it weren't for the fact that these birds cannot perform magic and pseudo-magic, they could easily be among the top magical creatures.

The Shepherd people consider hunting the Kupari Bird their highest honor, engaging in hunts generation after generation with the Kupari Birds of the East Caucasus Plateau.

Successfully hunting a Kupari Bird earns you the title "Daya" from the Shepherd Tribe.

It means "the strongest archer."

Yes, every Daya was once a renowned sharpshooter known throughout the world.

If a Daya possesses decent training aptitude, they are heavily invested in by various forces.

The reason is simple.

A Daya capable of shooting down a Kupari Bird is the contemporary Arrow God.

In Louis's memory, Sword Saint Kulin, in the future, due to his sincere understanding of the sword, once single-handedly killed a legendary being amidst an enemy siege, ultimately dying of exhaustion.

If he hadn't been besieged, perhaps with some hefty cost, he could have taken down an ordinary legend.

Not to mention, with Kulin's cultivation, the quality rate of the Nine Swords' students far exceeded those of Saint Louis Academy students without his help.

Not seeking to train Dayas to the legendary level, just to Level 20, is also a worthwhile endeavor.

Compared to the resources consumed in breaking through to legend, with a bit of talent, the resources consumed to reach Level 20 have a clear limit.

In fact, from a purely destructive standpoint, Dayas hold an advantage over Kulin Sword Saint.

No reason, this group of people has always fought long-range against short-range.

Think about it, you haven't even seen a Daya yet, and you've already taken a fully powered shot.

Even a legend being heavily injured by an arrow is reasonable.

Even if not severely injured, when you pursue a Daya, you must still be wary of the silent arrows fired while retreating.

The fight becomes utterly unbearable.

Thinking of this, Louis's expression changed.

"Sister Lumi, are you sure this is something I can handle at my current level?"

No matter how bold Louis was, he didn't dare to claim he could match the Dayas who had faced countless battles on the plateau.

The Kupari Bird is a symbol of the Dayas!

Lumi shook her head and said:

"How could I really have you face this creature directly? This is your training ground for today."

"Hmm?"

Lumi looked up at the sky:

"Is it raining?"

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and rain gently fell from above, but not a drop touched this vast training field.

It was only then that he noticed the sky was inexplicably shrouded by a translucent film.

"Magic barrier?" Louis was stunned.

"This is the magic barrier I commissioned Lord Gandalf to set up. The Kupari Birds are extremely sensitive to magic power, and as long as a magic barrier is erected, they won't easily fly in that direction."

She pointed to the canopy, "This training field is its cage. Here, you can only choose the bow and arrow as your weapon."

"Of course, you can use any non-weapon combat skills under the Blood Qi or magic power system to constrain its living space."

"As long as you can successfully shoot it down, that means you have completed the second step."

Louis praised:

"They're really setting high expectations for me."

Lumi shook her head and said:

"This is the most basic training for mastering my skills. If His Highness Louis feels he can't do it, he can choose to give up."

Louis curiously asked:

"Then how did you train to acquire such skills back in the day, Sister Lumi?"

Lumi's expression stiffened, as if recalling something unpleasant.

She said softly:

"I was locked up..."

"Huh?"

"Locked up by my family, training continuously on the field. A year, two years, three years, until I mastered this technique."
