Chapter 223 – The Genuine "Arrow Dao Grandmaster!"

After storing the token, Qin Yang picked up the archery notebook from the ground, briefly flipping through it to absorb its contents.

The notebook contained Liu Wushuang’s lifelong dedication.

It was filled with various illustrations and annotations, numerous personal insights, and even detailed markings on Star Power circulation, all patiently documented by him.

“Tsk tsk, I have to admit, he really has some skills.”

Qin Yang grew intrigued by the content in the book, feeling a slight sense of admiration inwardly.

The value of this archery notebook went without saying.

Top-tier among top-tier!

After all, Liu Wushuang had a renowned reputation, honored as the Arrow Master of the Supreme Alliance, and was even praised as the world’s number one in archery!

In Jianghai City, countless Star Warriors who practiced archery directly regarded him as their idol and lifelong goal to pursue.

Not to mention anything else…

Just based on Liu Wushuang’s archery prowess alone, he was unmatched in long-range combat within the same tier.

Thinking of this, Qin Yang felt quite satisfied and continued flipping through the archery notebook.

With Liu Wushuang’s Archery Manual, combined with the rewards previously assigned by the system, he had undoubtedly made a huge profit.

As for that self-destructing clone?

It was nothing more than a drop of his blood!!

Trading blood for a manual and notebook, with an added favor from a Supreme Realm expert… No matter how many times such a good deal came along, it would never be too much.

“Good, let’s continue comprehending.”

Qin Yang calculated the time and realized it was the weekend, so he no longer had to worry about work-related troubles. He had plenty of time.

With this in mind.

He calmed his mind and continued comprehending the archery notebook.

Buzz!

The surrounding Star Power spread out, automatically forming a Star Power barrier that enveloped him entirely, isolating all external disturbances.

Sinking into the Enlightenment Space.

A vast amount of archery knowledge poured into his mind, enlightening him like a sudden revelation.

All of Liu Wushuang’s lifelong learnings flooded into his mind, including the essentials of archery and even many side techniques for bow-making.

In no time, with the help of the Enlightenment Space, Qin Yang’s archery proficiency had reached a level on par with Liu Wushuang’s.

Then, using this as a foundation.

He continued to delve deeper!

“Next are the Unrivaled Arrow Intent and the Sun-Shooting Arrow Technique.”

Qin Yang took out the system rewards and carefully comprehended their contents.

The Unrivaled Arrow Intent was at the Grandmaster-level. Just by immersing himself slightly, he could feel a surge of immense arrow intent erupting between his eyebrows.

Whoosh! A chilling gust swept through the courtyard, as if transforming into countless arrows, fiercely striking the Star Power barrier before instantly retracting.

A moment later.

Digestion complete.

Qin Yang slowly opened his eyes, then took out the Sun-Shooting Bow, attaching the Unrivaled Arrow Intent to it, and retrieved the Sun-Shooting Arrow Technique.

Calming his mind, he continued to comprehend.

Just as he was comprehending the Sun-Shooting Arrow Technique.

Buzz! Buzz!

The Sun-Shooting Bow hummed.

Erupting with harmonious resonance, the laws of space and fire intertwined and spread…

Time passed imperceptibly.

The sun rose high.

Only then did Qin Yang open his eyes, having reached the pinnacle of archery mastery.

“Finally, I’ve become a true Arrow God.”

Satisfied, Qin Yang stood up. Only after fully digesting all of this did he now consider himself a genuine Arrow God, a bona fide Arrow Grandmaster.

“I wonder if I’ll get to meet Liu Wushuang again next time?”

Qin Yang gazed in the direction where Liu Wushuang had left, suddenly feeling a sense of anticipation.After all, when I challenged him before, I ultimately relied on clever tactics, using Law Power and Sword Intent to gain an advantage—it wasn’t through genuine archery skills that I defeated him.

But now,

having absorbed these rewards,

my archery mastery has rapidly improved.

If I were to face Liu Wushuang again, even without relying on Law Power or Sword Intent, I could utterly defeat him with archery alone…

……….

Meanwhile,

inside the house.

In front of the washing machine.

Xiaobai carried a laundry basket, swaying as she walked up to the machine, skillfully stuffing the entire basket of clothes into the drum and pouring in detergent.

Then she slammed the door shut with a “thud.”

“Hmph, stupid master, it’s just this Fairy’s tears and snot…”Accompanying you in acting, and you still have the nerve to dislike me!””

Xiaobai snorted, lay down on the sofa, swinging her fair, jade-like legs, idly passing the time.

Holding Qin Yang’s ten yuan bill, she stared blankly at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling.

“After following my master for so long, now I only have ten yuan left… This Fairy is such a pitiful fox.”

Just then.

“Ding—”

A notification came from her phone app.

[You have a new order request. Please check promptly.]

“Huh? Another order?”

Xiaobai perked up her ears, opened the order, glanced at it, and skillfully accepted it.

Earlier, to save up personal money, she had accidentally discovered this side hustle.

Game boosting!

At first, she just tried it out, but found it much easier than expected—and the money came quickly.

First, she could work from home without going out.

Second, the workload was light.

After all, as a King-level Star Beast, Xiaobai far surpassed human players in every aspect—whether in prediction, speed, or even focus through soul power.

Be it shooters, tower defense, or even farming sims… she picked up any genre of game incredibly fast, making her a versatile all-rounder.

It didn’t take long for her to save up a sizable amount of personal savings.

Unless her opponents were Elder Li or the Police Inspector Commander…

Otherwise,

beneath this fox, no one could rival her!

“Hehe, a few mere humans think they can compete with this Fairy?”

Xiaobai tapped furiously on her phone screen, intently watching the game progress, quickly pushing towers and advancing to the enemy base.

With practiced moves,

she scored a solo kill!

A triple kill!

A pentakill!

Her in-game character moved with breathtaking grace.

As Xiaobai’s fingers danced, she freely harvested the enemy players’ heads, her stats soaring rapidly, unstoppable as she dominated the entire match.

Soon,

the round ended.

“Yay, another win!”

Xiaobai counted on her fingers, quietly calculating the days.

What’s a little lack of money?

Soon enough, once she earned her first bucket of gold, her private savings would be restored!

“Next time my master fights, this Fairy will definitely win!!”

……

Time flowed like water.

In these past few days, news of the Arrow God’s fall spread rapidly, and all citizens of Jianghai City mourned.

White chrysanthemums hung along streets and alleys; beside Lishui Lake, memorial flowers bloomed brightly as many took to the streets spontaneously to bid farewell to the Arrow God.

The deceased had passed, but the living grieved.

Just like after the death of the Jianghai Sword God, households again set up memorial tablets, honoring the departure of the Jianghai Arrow God.

“Dear citizens, this is a live broadcast from the scene.”In the live stream, the female host stood by Lishui Lake with a microphone, showcasing the construction work behind her: “According to current municipal planning, there are plans to rename the eastern section of Lishui Lake Road and re…”

“……”

Qin Yang exited the live stream and opened his phone to check. At the same time, his social media feed was filled with eulogies for the Arrow God.

Jianghai City had been bustling these past few days, with even important figures from the Imperial Capital arriving. But in the end, it had nothing to do with him.

Qin Yang walked to the balcony, gazing at the sky as he sighed quietly.

“Ah.”

“Another identity lost.”

………

Jianghai Martial Arts Academy.

Approaching 8 a.m.

The corridors were empty and silent, with fallen leaves swirling in the wind. The campus speakers played low, solemn funeral music.

Since the fall of the Jianghai Arrow God, the municipal authorities had decided to suspend activities citywide for a few days. Now, the academy was nearly devoid of students, and even pedestrians outside the gates were scarce…

“Ah, now that Xuan Xuan’s Martial Uncle has passed away, should we inform her?”

Elder Li, Lin Mofeng, and Li Qinghe walked along the corridor.

“Not yet.”

“She’s currently in seclusion. Disturbing her rashly might have negative consequences.”

Elder Li shook his head and sighed. “With so much bad news one after another, I’m afraid she won’t be able to handle it, and it could damage her mental state. It’s better not to tell her for now.”

He added gloomily, “But to be honest, what I’m most worried about is that kid Qin Yang. I don’t know how he’s holding up.”

“Qin Yang…”

Upon hearing this, Lin Mofeng lowered his head in guilt.

It was he who had relayed the message to Liu Wushuang, leading him to find Qin Yang… If anyone was to blame for the Arrow God’s death, he couldn’t escape responsibility.

“If Qin Yang finds out, he’ll surely resent me, or even…”

Lin Mofeng’s voice trailed off as his head sank lower. “He might even come seeking revenge…”

“Enough, Mo Feng! There’s no use saying more now.”

Elder Li cut him off, clasping his hands behind his back as he looked toward the direction of Jianghai Library. “As Liu Wushuang said before, that kid is stubborn, but he’s not an extremist.”

“But, Teacher, I was the one who leaked the information to Senior Wushuang. I’m afraid I can no longer face Qin Yang.”

Lin Mofeng murmured.

As his words faded.

Both their gazes shifted to Li Qinghe standing beside them.

“……”

Li Qinghe took a step back, sensing the atmosphere. “You want me to go?”

“Yes, you know Qin Yang.”

Elder Li nodded. “If he has any needs, just say so. We’ll do everything we can to help.”

“Alright, I understand. I’ll take care of this.”

Li Qinghe nodded, patting her chest confidently. “I’ll definitely get the answers for you!”

…….

As the afternoon work hours neared their end, Li Qinghe acted quickly, stationing herself early at the library entrance to intercept Qin Yang as he clocked out.

“Master, I have something to ask you. Is there anything you need lately?”

“What do you mean?”

Qin Yang stroked Xiaobai and glanced at her. “Is there a reward?”

“Yes, this is a great opportunity, Master!”

Li Qinghe smiled. “You sacrificed so much for Jianghai before—everyone definitely won’t let your efforts go to waste… Elder Li told me this morning that if you have any requests, just speak up, and they’ll do their best to fulfill them.”

“Requests?”

Qin Yang rubbed his chin, pondering for a moment.This could be considered a debt of gratitude. Since Elder Li and the others insisted on repaying it, there was no need for him to refuse.

But what should he ask for?

Money wasn’t necessary, an official position was too troublesome, and he had just obtained Liu Wushuang’s Archery Manual…

However, after a moment’s thought, Qin Yang glanced back at the Jianghai Library behind him and suddenly remembered that the Martial Arts Academy also had a Scripture Repository.

Moreover, it contained even more hidden treasures, making it quite a suitable choice!

“Right, I’ll find time to visit the academy’s Scripture Repository.”
