Chapter 31 Path of the Saber

Fu Hongxue, Li Xunhuan, and the Qiye Demon Lord all exemplified the fact that as long as Zhao Gao could master a unique skill technique, he could also become a martial arts expert.

In addition, they were no ordinary experts.

Therefore, Zhao Gao planned to follow their examples, using the Basic Saber Art as foundation.

He could develop a ‘slash’ technique, which could slash through everything in heaven and on earth.

There need not be too many unique moves, just one would do.

This ‘slash’ would be like the blade of Asura. He would mobilize all the power in his body to carry out his most powerful ‘slash’, thus ending the lives of his enemies.

It could be like ‘Flying Li’s Daggers’. He would gather all his Essence, Qi, and Magic to deliver that one strike. It would be impossible for anyone to dodge his ’23rd Saber’.

This was Zhao Gao’s plan for his future path of wielding the saber. Of course, Zhao Gao still had a long way to go before he could achieve this goal. Yet, was it not true that establishing and achieving a goal was the main purpose of one’s life?

The saber cuts the flesh, but the heart cuts the soul.

One slash to sever the soul!

After Zhao Gao had decided on his future goal, he stood up, dusted off the dust on his butt, and prepared to walk towards the military tents.

“Swish! Bang!”

Before he knew it, he heard the sound of arrows being shot out.

“It’s already so late, yet there are still people training! How hardworking they are!” Zhao Gao thought to himself. Out of curiosity, he turned his head to see who was being so hardworking Zhao Gao was stunned when he turned around. What he saw was a lock of beautiful black hair that cascaded like a waterfall. She had a pair of delicately-curved eyebrows and a pair of beautiful eyes that could captivate one’s soul. Her nose was delicate and she had pink cheeks that were slightly flushed. Her lips were like moisturized cherry. Her melon-shaped face was sparkling and her fair jade-like skin was like snow. She was graceful and slender, beautiful and elegant at the same time. And her seriousness at archery made her look even more like a heroine.

Zhao Gao admitted that at this moment, he was attracted to her and had taken a liking to her pretty looks.

However, at this thought, Zhao Gao secretly shook his head and suppressed his newly-aroused male hormones.

In this cruel and infinite world, he might not even be able to protect himself. Thus, how could he get embroiled in any other matters, especially a romantic relationship? It was already so late at night, and yet she was still working hard on her training. This proved that she was a woman who had a tenacious will to live.

As he was now attracted to her, Zhao Gao decided to give her some pointers.

Of course, one could also assume that he was merely putting up a show so as to show his presence to a beautiful woman like her. However, Zhao Gao was thinking otherwise.

He just wanted to show ‘little Missy’ the way.

With his Level 20 of the Basic Archery skills, he felt that there were many loopholes in the archery skills which this ‘level-10 woman’ was practicing

That was why Zhao Gao had the confidence to give this woman guidance. He had the confidence that he could easily show off in front of her.

He picked up the bow from the weapon rack with his left hand, and two arrows with his right hand.

As he walked towards the woman, Zhao Gao said, “Archery skills do not merely consist of standard movements. You can’t master it just by burying your head in training.”

From the corner of his eye, Zhao Gao saw the woman turn around. She was obviously curious about what he was going to do next.

Was he just a clown or was he truly capable?

Zhao Gao did not speak another word. He simply placed the arrow on his bow and pulled the bowstring until it was almost at full moon.

Instantly, he released the arrow.

In addition, the minute the arrow was shot out, Zhao Gao quickly picked up the second arrow, put it on the bowstring, and pulled the bowstring to a full moon state.

Then, he aimed quickly and shot out the second arrow.

The second arrow quickly caught up with the first. In an instant, the tip of the second arrow hit the tip of the first arrow.

At that moment of collision, the two arrows separated on impact. “Swish! Bang!” The two arrows struck the center of two separate targets at the same time. The sharp arrowheads were completely buried in the targets.

When he saw that he had successfully impressed her, Zhao Gao nodded to himself.

However, he tried to appear calm. As he walked towards the exit of the field, he threw his bow onto the weapon rack. “Bang!” The bow was firmly placed on the weapon rack.

“No matter how hard you are training, you are just shooting at a fixed target. If one can become an expert just by shooting a fixed target, everyone would be an expert?”.

At the entrance of the training ground, Zhao Gao spoke without even turning his head. He then walked towards his military tent at the Field No. 3 training ground.

It was only when she could no longer see Zhao Gao’s figure, that the woman turned to stare at the two arrows Zhao Gao had shot.

With regards to Zhao Gao’s show-off behavior, she had seen behaviors like this many times on the Blue Star.

With her looks, she had seen many men spend every effort to attract her attention every day.

Zhao Gao was considered too old-fashioned.

However, putting this aside, Zhao Gao’s marksmanship was something she still could not do at her current state.

Moreover, she knew that even if Zhao Gao had been an archer at Blue Star, it would still be impossible for him to achieve this.

This estimation was based on her physical fitness level.

She had been a lover of archery and had always wanted to be a national archer representing her country. But over here, although he too had been assigned yesterday, Zhao Gao’s archery skills were way superior to hers.

With her strong-willed personality, she started thinking about the meaning behind Zhao Gao’s words.

What was certain was that by merely practicing on fixed targets, she would never become an expert.

Thinking of this, she felt helpless too. They could only train with fixed targets here. What would enable them to train with moving targets?

As she thought more about it, she felt even more annoyed. Zhao Gao was also a practitioner of fixed targets, yet he was able to shoot such stunning arrows. This made her feel even more imbalanced.

She was no longer in the mood for practice. Besides, it was getting late. She threw her bow and arrow aside and walked back to her tent.

On the other hand, Zhao Gao did not know what troubles he had brought to the beauty.

He was walking happily back to the tent and was proud of his perfect shots. The reason he was able to shoot out that kind of arrows was because, firstly, he had a basic foundation of level 20 of the Basic Archery skill. With the help of his Essence and Magic Stats at 20 points and more, he was able to quickly calculate the trajectory of the arrow and predict the point of the arrows’ collision.

The powerful Essence stats could support him in completing this set of movements.

As for the worries he caused the beauty, Zhao Gao could not care less.

In this dangerous Talent Space, it was best for men not to have ‘their brains controlled by their lower bodies’.

Otherwise, he would not even know how he died.

Ever since he walked out of the training ground, he had forgotten about that woman.

It was simply human nature to be temporarily attracted to a beautiful woman.

However, in spite of that, he needed to think about his own survival.
