Chapter 536: A Person’s Situation, Heaven Sent Divine Weapon (1)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Outside the Huaxia Pavilion’s Demon Realm branch, a figure descended from the sky.
Just as the figure landed, a stream of light suddenly shot over.
It was fast, accurate, and ruthless!
It was an arrow shooting toward Zhou Shu’s head. When the sound of rushing wind came, the arrow was only a foot away from his heart.
With such speed and distance, any ordinary martial artist wouldn’t be able to dodge in time.
Zhou Shu’s lips curled up. He really didn’t know that there was such an archery expert in the Ten Nations Alliance.
This arrow could probably even injure a Grandmaster.
But he was far beyond an ordinary Grandmaster.
Clank!
With a crisp sound, Zhou Shu flicked away the arrow. Almost at the same time, at least four arrows came from all directions. Without even the sound of breaking the wind, they all aimed at Zhou Shu’s vital points.
Bang!
Zhou Shu’s body flashed with golden light. The four arrows froze in the air and struggled for a moment before falling.
Bows and arrows were a great killing weapon on the Ten Nations Continent, but it was of limited use against the Demon Realm.
This was mainly because demonic beasts had thick skin and flesh. Ordinary bows and arrows couldn’t even break through their fur.
Moreover, archery experts were extremely rare. Military experts rarely chose to specialize in archery. Ordinary high-level martial artists mainly cultivated weapons that were more lethal to demonic beasts.
Whoosh!
Seeing that all the arrows had been blocked, the scout who had discovered Zhou Shu let out a sharp whistle.
Amid the sound of rushing wind, several powerful auras suddenly appeared and rushed toward Zhou Shu.
Bang bang bang!
Zhou Shu blocked the few attacks, and his body flashed.
“Stop it, everyone. It’s me,” Zhou Shu said.
The few people who attacked him were stunned. Then they bowed respectfully. “Greetings, Your Highness!”
“You guys are pretty vigilant.”
Zhou Shu nodded. It wasn’t their fault that Yao Aotian had discovered them. They were already very vigilant. But with their cultivation, they couldn’t sense the Great Demon.
There was nothing he could do about this. In the Ten Nations Alliance, the one with the highest cultivation was him, a forger.
The others were at most first-rank martial artists, far inferior to Great Demons.
Yao Aotian wasn’t bragging. Without considering Zhou Shu, a demon like him could annihilate the entire Ten Nations Alliance.
Even with Zhou Shu around, if Yao Aotian led his million-strong Demon Realm army to attack, the Ten Nations Alliance would likely be wiped out.
With Zhou Shu’s current cultivation, if he really wanted to fight a Great Demon head-on, he would have to use his divine ability Total Annihilation. Once he used it, he would only have a limited amount of time. Defeating a Great Demon might not be a problem, but there was definitely not enough time to defeat an army of demons.
“Who was the person who just shot the arrows?” Zhou Shu looked at them. Their faces were familiar, but he really couldn’t remember their names.
After all, Zhou Shu was not really familiar with the 30,000 soldiers of the Ten Nations Alliance.
These people had probably only seen him before. They were not at the level of interacting with Zhou Shu directly.
“It’s me,” said a young man in his twenties. “I thought it was a demonic beast attack. Please forgive me, Your Highness.”
He cupped his hands in apology.
“You did nothing wrong.” Zhou Shu nodded. “Your archery skills are very good.”
Zhou Shu patted his shoulder and walked into the cave.
The young man was stunned for a moment before his face revealed ecstasy.
He looked at his companions and cheered softly. “Did you hear that? His Highness praised me!”
“We heard it,” the others said enviously.
In the hearts of the 30,000 allied forces in the Demon Realm, Zhou Shu was a god-like existence. To be praised by him was enough to make these soldiers excited for a long time.
“His Highness even patted my shoulder.” The young man’s face was full of excitement. It was completely different from his composure when he shot the arrows. He even felt like jumping. “My shoulder was patted by His Highness!”
They all rolled their eyes.?Is that so great?
Although they appeared disdainful, they were full of envy.
“Unfortunately, His Highness didn’t ask for your name just now. Otherwise, you would have really caught his eye,” a companion said. “If you catch His Highness’ eye and he casually rewards you with a weapon, you’ll really take off.
“I heard that because of His Highness, the Armament Manual of the Heavenly Mountain Villa has changed drastically. There’s no such thing as heaven-grade or earth-grade weapons anymore. There are only connate weapons and acquired weapons!
“It’s said that connate weapons are even more powerful than heaven-grade weapons. You know Divine Constable Yang Hong, right? He received the connate divine weapon the Crimson Firmament Sword from His Highness and broke through to the third rank of the Martial Dao in one go!”
The more this person spoke, the more excited he became. He said enviously, “When Divine Constable Yang participated in the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament, he had just entered the ninth rank of the Martial Dao not long ago. How long has it been? In less than two years, he has become a Grandmaster!”
“A connate divine weapon… If His Highness rewards me with a connate divine weapon one day, I will be able to advance so quickly as well.”
The man sighed.
The young archer looked envious too.
“Unfortunately, His Highness is good at forging sabers and swords. I use a bow—”
Pfft!?Everyone all laughed. “You even dared to think about it!
“His Highness just praised you, but you’re already thinking about His Highness’s divine weapon?
“Wash up and go to sleep. You can have everything in your dreams!”
The few of them joked. They, including the young archer, didn’t take the matter of the divine weapon seriously. There were 30,000 people in the Ten Nations Alliance, but how many people were qualified to have a divine weapon personally forged by the king?
Although they were quite skilled, they were only considered average among the Ten Nations Alliance. It wasn’t so easy to obtain a divine weapon personally forged by the king.
