Chapter 214 – Self-Detonation Divine Skill, Unrivaled in the World!

“These people really can’t keep their mouths shut…”

In the library, Qin Yang strolled leisurely toward the archives room while scrolling through news on his phone.

With the official announcement now public,

online influencers were stirring up drama without concern for consequences, fanning flames of speculation everywhere.

The moment official media rebroadcast the Star Martial Police Department’s announcement,

these influencers smelled the traffic potential and immediately began churning out content. Within just one morning, exaggerated versions of the story were already circulating.

As he walked,

Qin Yang swiped through his phone and encountered several sensationalized clickbait headlines!

“The rumors are getting out of hand.”

【Jianghai Arrow God Prepares to Face Mysterious Challenger—Stay Tuned!!!】

【Speculations on Mysterious Identity: Revenge of Heretical Cultists?】

【Jianghai Arrow God’s Humble Beginnings…】

At a glance, the internet was flooded with such messages, making it difficult to distinguish truth from fiction.

After this wave of hype, Jianghai City quickly secured the top spot on trending searches.

Not only were local residents buzzing with excitement, but people from outside the city were also eagerly joining in, hoping to witness the clash between these two masters.

By now,

all flights and train tickets to Jianghai had long been sold out.

“If this continues, the head of Jianghai’s tourism department must be grinning from ear to ear.”

“With so many people coming to Jianghai, Lishui Lake is probably going to be packed.”

Qin Yang sighed.

Just imagining the scene gave him a headache.

He felt somewhat helpless too.

Everything had been fine, but then he was suddenly exposed as the Arrow God’s chief disciple, and out of nowhere, Liu Wushuang had come knocking on his door.

His original plan was to discreetly send Liu Wushuang away and quietly reap his rewards in peace.

But now, with the Star Martial Police Department’s announcement spreading across the internet, it had attracted hordes of spectators.

After all,

this was a duel between two Supreme Realm experts!

To ordinary people, it was no different from a battle between immortals, and it was bound to draw massive crowds of tourists.

Before long, Jianghai City would be bustling with activity again.

But…

The commotion was one thing. As one of the parties involved, he still had to put in considerable effort figuring out how to handle the situation.

“Whatever, I’ll set it aside for now and think about it after work.”

Qin Yang put away his phone and walked into the library’s archives room. He took out the key the manager had given him earlier, unlocked the door, and flipped the light switch by the wall.

Click!

The dim archives room instantly brightened.

Inside, metal cabinets stood in neat, orderly rows.

Now that he had been promoted, there were many handover tasks left by the previous manager. Only after finishing these could he get back to slacking off.

“The personnel files should be here.”

Qin Yang stepped inside, pulled out the manager’s archives from a cabinet, and began sorting through the documents with practiced ease. His thoughts, however, drifted back to the earlier matter.

“If all else fails, I’ll just make it quick, right?”

It was just a matter of one arrow, after all.

The sooner he reaped the rewards, the sooner it would be over…

Just then.

“Master, why are you sighing? You’ve been frowning all the way here.”

Little Fox trotted over, rubbing against Qin Yang’s pant leg, and transmitted her voice softly: “Is it because of that Liu Wushuang?”

“Mmm…”

Qin Yang grunted in response, lowering his head to continue searching through the files. Soon, he pulled out a folder.

“He’s just some arrow-shooting nobody named Liu Wushuang…”Xiaobai tilted her head up and snorted, “Master, your archery is so powerful. When the time comes, just take action yourself—one arrow and you’re sure to win!”

“One arrow? You don’t understand, don’t set me up for failure.”

Hearing this, Qin Yang shook his head slightly. “Liu Wushuang has immersed himself in archery for years, while I’ve only recently begun to study it. Relying solely on archery to compete with him would be somewhat inappropriate.”

“Inappropriate? Who says so!! What is there to fear?”

Xiaobai shook her body and nimbly leaped onto the table. “Master, your strength is nothing to scoff at. Even if Liu Wushuang tries to overpower you, you can always use your divine skill if needed!”

“What divine skill?”

Qin Yang frowned, his hand holding the file bag pausing slightly. “Do I have some divine archery technique?”

“No… it’s that Self-Detonation Divine Skill you used last time, Master.”

The little fox narrowed her eyes into slits, lowering her head to nuzzle against Qin Yang’s chest ingratiatingly. “Don’t forget, you had your clone use that skill before. If you replicate it now, you’re sure to win!”

As her words fell.

“……”

Qin Yang was speechless.

Good grief.

Ever since that last self-detonation.

This little fox still remembers it.

“Master’s Self-Detonation Divine Skill is number one in the world!”

Xiaobai snorted proudly through her nose. “From now on, whenever you dislike someone, just go blow them up—you’ll be invincible!”

As she spoke, she nuzzled closer again. “When the competition begins, if you can’t win through normal means, just perform your Self-Detonation Divine Skill for everyone. You’re bound to win!”

“……”

Hearing this.

Qin Yang rolled his eyes dramatically and casually brushed her off: “Alright, alright, I’ll just blow him up and put on a show of exploding on the spot for you!”

“Really?”

Upon hearing this, Xiaobai excitedly flicked her fluffy tail, instantly overjoyed, and began feeling her way toward the corner on her own.

Yay!

Having obtained his consent.

She ran back to the corner, glanced back at Qin Yang to make sure he wasn’t approaching, then opened a mysterious little website.

On the website.

The Jianghai Arrow God and Liu Wushuang were listed separately, corresponding to different odds…

“Hehe, successfully fooled him.”

Xiaobai narrowed her eyes, thinking about her earlier deception as she smoothed her fur, feeling quite pleased with herself.

Finally managed to persuade Master.

When the time comes, during the most intense part of the competition, as long as he self-detonates in front of everyone, they’ll all think the Jianghai Arrow God is dead.

Truly worthy of this Fairy!

“Hehe, ten to one odds—bet everything on Master losing!”

Xiaobai extended her little paw, tapping rapidly on the phone screen.

Her fox tail wagged wildly!

Soon, the betting was complete.

Xiaobai hugged the phone, her eyes gleaming with golden light, drooling foolishly.

So much money!!

“If I win this bet, this Fairy can achieve financial freedom! More than I could ever spend!”

…

Knock knock knock—

Just then, knocking came from outside.

“Who is it?”

Qin Yang set down the personnel file upon hearing the sound, his water-like mental energy spreading outward and immediately detecting the identity of the person outside.

It was Li Qinghe.

From the feedback of his detection, this girl was in good spirits, her entire essence and energy elevated, as if she had encountered something fortunate.

“However…”

“What is this girl here for?”

Qin Yang frowned, lowering his head to continue organizing the documents.

“Master, it’s me.”

She said.Outside, Li Qinghe had already pushed the door open and walked into the archives room with a beaming smile, scanning the surrounding bookshelves and counters. “I heard you got promoted, Master, so I specifically came to see you.”

“To see me? Since when are you this thoughtful?”

Qin Yang lowered his gaze, organizing personnel files without paying her much attention. “Your master is very busy right now and has no time to give you guidance on Array Formations.”

“It’s fine, Master! I didn’t come for guidance anyway.”

Hearing this, Li Qinghe clasped her hands behind her back and approached the desk, speaking softly, “How’s the new position? When you and the previous Manager were stationed together, and he came to report, I even put in a good word for you.”

“Oh? You helped out?”

Qin Yang raised an eyebrow at her words. “Go on, what reward do you want?”

“Hehe, nothing at all… It was just a small effort. Your disciple simply came to see you and show some respect…”

Li Qinghe fiddled with her Star Ring, retrieved a gift bag, and slowly placed it on the desk. “These are all gifts I picked out recently, Master. See if there’s anything you like.”

As she spoke, she opened the bag.

Inside was an array of spiritual herbs and numerous Star Artifact accessories.

“You picked these out for me?”

Qin Yang’s eyes swept over the gifts on the table, then he looked at Li Qinghe suspiciously, his guard instantly rising to the highest alert.

Courtesies first, force later!

This girl definitely has an ulterior motive!

“Just say it directly—what do you want?”

Qin Yang shook his head, set down the documents, and said, “Do you think your master doesn’t understand your intentions?”

“You know me so well, Master. It’s just some matters related to our sect.”

Seeing this, Li Qinghe didn’t dare delay any longer and spoke straightforwardly, “It’s about Grandmaster. You saw the news this morning, right, Master? It’s blowing up online—all about the Arrow God.”

She then briefly recounted the Police Inspector’s meeting, explaining the whole story from beginning to end to Qin Yang.

“Is that so…”

Qin Yang pondered upon hearing this. “So, they all know about it now?”

“Yes, Elder Li and the others already know, but…”

At this point, Li Qinghe curled her lips into a smile and looked at Qin Yang. “You can’t fool me, Master. Even though you publicly claim the Arrow God is your Martial Uncle, he and Grandmaster are actually the same person, aren’t they?”

“What makes you think that?”

Qin Yang raised an eyebrow, intrigued. “If you’re just guessing wildly, don’t blame me for slapping your mouth.”

“Isn’t it obvious? Since Grandmaster isn’t dead, and he has such extraordinary skills—mastering both alchemy and Array Formations—wouldn’t archery be a piece of cake for him?”

Li Qinghe narrowed her eyes and smiled.

“Some things become clear if you just think about them carefully, don’t you agree, Master?”

As her words fell.

“You’re the clever one.”

Qin Yang looked at Li Qinghe, unhurried, and said leisurely, “If you leak this, expect to be expelled from the sect. At that point, even I won’t be able to protect you.”

“Tch, don’t worry, Master! I’ll definitely keep this secret for you!”

Li Qinghe sealed her lips and shook her head like a rattle drum. “During the Star Martial Police Department meeting last night, I didn’t say a single word about this!”

“That’s more like it.”

…

…

Night.

Fuhai District.

The moon was bright and the stars sparse, with a gentle moonlight scattered across the ground.

Qin Yang sat cross-legged on the balcony, continuing to comprehend the Law Power of the Sun-Shooting Bow.

Space and fire laws swirled around him, fiery butterflies fluttering through the Courtyard.

“Still not enough.”

Qin Yang slowly opened his eyes.

The competition begins in three days.To earn higher rewards from the system, he needed to put in more effort and break through Liu Wushuang’s defenses!

The best approach was undoubtedly to defeat Liu Wushuang in archery—the very field he excelled in.

“But my archery skills are still in their infancy. Compared to him, I’m still lacking somewhat.”

Qin Yang pondered this, then glanced down at the Sun-Shooting Bow and suddenly had an idea.

The Space Law was inherently profound.

While his archery couldn’t match Liu Wushuang’s…

As long as he leveraged the Sun-Shooting Bow’s innate spatial lock…

Wouldn’t his chances of victory skyrocket?!
