Dual Cultivation God Returns

507 Burden

Wu Long stood on the training field, with Feng Yi not far in front of him, facing toward a distant target attached to a large boulder, her fiery red wavy hair collected into a high ponytail raised by the spring wind.

The bow she gripped with her left hand was not her old hunting bow, but the new one Wu Long recently gifted to her, the dark blue color which was only visible while reflecting the sun accentuating the otherwise luxurious-looking black material.

As she held the bow parallel to the ground, she slowly nocked an arrow with a graceful motion and raising the bow turning it to vertical position attempted to draw it, her eyes widening when she realized how much more power she had to use, as she could not pull it even slightly.

"Use your Spiritual Qi, and infuse it into the bow, you will feel channels that it can flow freely through"

Wu Long chuckled, and as she ran her Spiritual Qi into the bow she soon felt it flow through certain paths within it.

"Now push the flow through..."

He started giving her precise instructions on manipulating the Spiritual Qi flow within the bow, and as she followed his words, the hand she pulled the arrow on the bowstring with started finally moving.

"I... is it...?"

"Mmm, you can control how powerful your shot would be"

He nodded as she felt the tremendous power accumulating within the bow limbs.

She then grinned, and drew the arrow to her cheekbone, her left eye closing, and her right eye becoming more focused while she aimed. A bead of sweat appeared on the side of her forehead from concentration.

'Hah, truly, you can't judge a fish by how well it climbs a tree'

Wu Long's eyes glinted, narrowing a little at the sight.

With a sharp *twang*, the arrow was set free and zipped through the air with a faint *whizz*, hitting the distant mark.

"Haha! Whew~! Bullseye!"

Feng Yi jumped into the air with a raised fist, as she was quite nervous to not embarrass herself before.

She normally was a good markswoman, but this was the first time ever since her father taught her in her childhood that someone was watching her shoot.

Not to mention, that someone was the man she loved, so she of course wanted to do her very best.

As she excitedly turned to Wu Long, her eyes widened with surprise as his wide smile was coupled with an introspective look.

"Mm, if you wish, I will write down a cultivation manual for you, and a few techniques as well"

He nodded, as she slightly opened her mouth.

"Haha, you can if you want to, but I get the general idea"

He chuckled to the bewildered beauty.

"You mean...?"

"Mm, you have a talent for it. And if you wish, and work hard, you could become a great archer"lightsnovel

Her eyes widened and then glinted with excitement as well as deep thought.

She knew that she was less talented than most of his women, as they all were exceptional in one way or another.

And thus it was no wonder that even if she did not want to, and even as she knew he did not evaluate them based on their talents or merits, she compared herself to the others and felt inferior.

She most acutely felt it during the time Wu Long, Shen Min and her went off to the Tingren Kingdom, as she was the weak link that had to be protected, and thus restricted their movements.

Feng Yi hated to be a burden and doing nothing for the people she loves.

It was in her nature to do at the very least as much as the next person, which was why she joined the Fantian Kingdom's army in the past and went through the ranks to eventually take place along her brothers as a Commander.

And now, more than anything, she wanted to help Wu Long, and not just sit behind and receive.

The more she learned of the challenges that would await all of them ahead, the more determined she became.

Ever since she returned from that Tingren Kingdom trip she resumed sword training under Ye Ling.

But even with the harsh training the latter gave her and such an incredible master to guide her, she in fact did not make much progress. And even Ye Ling admitted that she had little prospect in being more than an average sword wielder with tremendous effort.

This drove her to at least try and gain knowledge in Dual Cultivation, which resulted in her being in the Yin Yang Unity Palace when he arrived there, seeking ways in which she could allow Wu Long to receive more from their cultivation.

So now, once she saw a new possibility opening up before her eyes, they shined with intense excitement and hope.

She had just one concern...

"But... I already made Dual Cultivation my main cultivation method..."

"Hahaha, don't worry, you don't need to change your cultivation path again and restructure your foundation. You can use Archery Cultivation method as your auxiliary one.

Just look at Ziyan, she's a Dual Cultivator through and through, but she also focuses on one type of fighting style, using Palm and Fist cultivation methods in auxiliary capacity.

Meanwhile her prowess does not lose out to most, in fact she is one of the strongest in our Dao Family after Ling'er, Mengqi and Lan'erat this point if speaking of pure combat prowess, though Rui'er and Min'er are very closely competing with her"

Wu Long's explanation instantly made her relaxed, and she nodded with determination.

"Then... please"

"Hahaha, of course. I will write it out and give it to you later, but you should already start training with the bow, if only simply to get used to the feeling of being in contact with it more than usual"

He nodded, coming up to her and caressing her cheek as she blushed.

"Oh, by the way, just in case... you said Archery Cultivators could be powerful as well, right?"

She then made a playfully guilty look, not truly doubting his earlier words, but still remembering the way Archery Cultivation was treated on the three continents.

"Hahaha, here, let me show you"

He chuckled, stretching out his hand, to which she responded by giving him the bow.
