Level Up in Martial World

While Lu Zhen was contemplating, he heard the tentative voice of Li Nan, which startled him as he looked up to see her.

"What is it?" Lu Zhen asked.

"Young master, although your archery skill is extraordinary, you might have failed to take into account the factor of the survival instinct of the mosquito."

"Hmm…" Lu Zhen's face morphed into a contemplative expression.

Seeing the contemplative expression of Lu Zhen, she internally heaved a sigh of relief as Li Nan gazed at him intently.

Her cheeks turned a rosy hue without her even knowing.

"Why is the young master so charming?" Li Nan inadvertently thought as she looked at the handsome features of Lu Zhen with his muscular, hulking body hidden within his baggy black robe. From the contours of his black robe, there was the clear shape of his eight-pack.

Lu Zhen was definitely a handsome man with more manly muscles.

But he hasn't been able to use this in this world simply because beauty and handsomeness almost didn't matter here, as people's lives were always at risk. Everyone had the goal of surviving and gaining power, while only inexperienced youths adored beauty and handsomeness.

After all, the more powerful you are, the more you see the truth of the world and know that all beauty is just temporary. But that didn't mean Lu Zhen wouldn't take advantage of being handsome, because being pleasing to the eyes could provide certain benefits. However, as the young master of the Lu family, he was basically the imperial prince of the city, so what's the use of his handsomeness?

"You are right; thank you, Li Nan," Lu Zhen said as he patted Li Nan on her head, which made her cheeks even rosier, almost making her head look like a tomato. However, her face remained expressionless, as if she had a fever.

Lu Zhen's expression turned strange as he looked at her.

"What is wrong with this girl?" he thought as he focused on practising the bows and getting used to firing the bow.

Li Nan had already left to complete the task Lu Zhen had given her so he was alone slowly practising with the bow.

His mind worked in hyper mode, comprehending all the things and understanding the essence of archery.

Just like that, time passed while Lu Zhen practised his archery skill. After an hour or two, Lu Zhen saw a blue panel from the corner of his eyes, which prompted his excitement as he stopped his bow.

He closed his eyes before opening them again and drew the bow once more.

Lu Zhen did exactly as before; however, there was a hint of naturalness now. While previously his methods were restrained, and although they almost looked perfect, they were forcefully made by him. But now, everything came to his mind almost naturally, as if he was born to shoot the bow.

He aimed his bow at a mosquito and took a deep breath with a calm expression. His mind was cleared, with only the vision of the mosquito in his sight, as all the information came naturally to his mind without Lu Zhen even doing anything, as if it was his nature.

Lu Zhen released the string, and unlike the first time he shot at it, almost no sound was produced when it was released as it eerily travelled at a terrifying speed, almost becoming invisible to the naked eye.

The poor mosquito, which had probably sucked blood from some mortal, felt a terrifying sense of danger looming over it; however, before it could even move, the arrow swiftly penetrated its entire body, and it was crushed to bits as it silently landed on the wall with the arrow.

At the point where the arrow had embedded in the wall, there was a thin reddish blood, indicating it was deader than dead.

Lu Zhen nodded his head when he saw this as he looked at the prompt again.

[You have trained with the bow.]

[You have acquired the skill: Bow Mastery.]

"Looks like learning the essence of the bow was the way to go…" Unlike the previous time when he had to train for a long time, Lu Zhen got the skill relatively faster because his realm was higher, and since he focused on the essence of the bow, he was able to acquire the skill relatively faster as well. The bow wasn't a complex weapon.

"Now, time to use the demonic bow," Lu Zhen thought as he looked at the black bow on the ground. The ground itself was slightly caved in from the sheer weight of the bow, showing how terrifyingly heavy and big it was. The bow's length was about 4 feet (121 cm), while its weight was unknown to Lu Zhen, but he guessed that it was at least a hundred kilos and most likely even heavier.

Ignoring his intrusive thoughts, he slowly took the bow in a natural way, as if he had touched the bow for years.

Lu Zhen lightly drew the strings of the bow, and instantly almost all the strands of demonic Qi rushed into the bow.

One strand! Two strands! Ten strands! Twenty-eight strands!

While his demonic Qi was rapidly draining, an eerie glowing arrow materialised where Lu Zhen had pulled the strings. It flickered, almost looking like a dark flame in the shape of an arrow.

"This is really convenient," Lu Zhen mused to himself as he focused all his attention on a random wall and released his aura.

Boom!

The arrow travelled at a terrifying speed, directly piercing through the wall before penetrating another wall and finally stopping embedded in the third wall, its flame-like body still flickering.

"Huh, can these only deal this much pitiful damage?" Lu Zhen frowned as he looked at the arrow, which had been fired through the hole in the wall.

Although the strength of the arrow was not bad, it was nowhere near enough to damage a first-stage martial artist; even a third-stage martial artist could easily take the arrow head-on, which confused him. However, he didn't have to wait long for his question to be answered.
