I Have a Golden Crow

”Continuous Pearl Array!” Du Yu was delighted. This was a fairly rare arrow array, and more importantly, it was extremely practical!

As everyone knows, each Demon Soldier that emerges is blessed by the heavens with its own Demon Soldier Array.

Among the output-type arrays of the Demon Soldier Bow, things like Armor-Piercing Arrow, Blade Arrow, Piercing Arrow, Igniting Arrow, Multi-Arrow—the arrow arrays are quite complex, and among them, the Continuous Pearl Arrow Array is without doubt the most suitable for newbies to use!

Because at Du Yu’s current stage, no matter how much he increases his attack speed, his maximum hand speed is just so-so.

Between two rapid-fire arrows, there inevitably has to be a gap in time.

But the Continuous Pearl Array is different: as long as you fire one shot, you’ll get at least two arrows minimum!

The first arrow shatters the target’s Demon Breath Battle Robe, while the second arrow goes straight into their body!

This way, the opponent won’t even have a chance to react.

This also means that as long as they’re the same level as Du Yu or lower, if he can break through the enemy’s defense with one shot, it’s equivalent to inflicting real damage!

Seeing Du Yu’s delighted expression, Wang Zongying also knew this kid understood the value and spoke up: ”Go ahead and give it a try.”

Du Yu stroked the delicate, dark-red hunting bow, and glanced around the room: ”You want me to draw the bow here?”

Wang Zongying pointed toward the window: ”You can shoot toward the sky.”

”Okay!” Du Yu didn’t stand on ceremony. He quickly walked up to the window and immediately readied bow and arrow!

Whoosh~

The flame mark at the grip gradually lit up.

Du Yu’s fingers pinching the bowstring also kindled an arrow’s tail, the flames spreading and piecing together until they formed a Fire Arrow, slanting toward the heavens at the angle of Du Yu’s drawn bow.

”Swoosh~ Swoosh~!”

As soon as Du Yu released the bowstring, a Fire Arrow shot out at blinding speed.

Strangely, as the Demon Arrow Array on the bow flickered, another Fire Arrow was conjured right behind the leading one.

The two arrows were only a few centimeters apart, traveling in the exact same direction and speed, lined up and soaring toward the sky, tracing a faint fire line through the air.

”Marvelous~ marvelous.” Du Yu murmured under his breath.

At the same time, he was secretly thinking: If the flame line dragged out by the front arrow was a bit thicker, wouldn’t the second arrow be able to hide inside it?

Tsk tsk, that’s a bit sinister, isn’t it?

Du Yu lowered his head, fiddling with the exquisite hunting bow in his hands. The material was also wooden.

He still didn’t know whether the dark-red hue on the bow was painted on, or if the Demonic Plant it was made from had that natural color.

Wang Zongying spoke up: ”Based on our testing, after activating the Continuous Pearl Arrow Array, it can potentially fire two or three Fire Arrows at once.”

”Hm?” Du Yu turned to look at Brother Zongying, a little puzzled. ”Just now I fully activated the Demon Arrow Array, so why did I only get a double shot? Do I need to pour more Fire Demon Breath into it?”

Wang Zongying shook his head and explained patiently: ”Your Demon Soldier Bow is still relatively low in quality. Although it’s the very top among Beginner’s Bows, it’s still categorized as a Beginner’s Bow, suitable for Demon Tamer Journeyman level.

So the output from this Demon Arrow Array isn’t very stable. You can treat it as a double shot. If you suddenly get a triple, just treat it as a lucky bonus.”

Du Yu: ”I see...”

Wang Zongying: ”As long as you keep using it, you’ll eventually fire a Triple Pearl Arrow, so I’m telling you in advance so you don’t get confused.”

”Oh.” Du Yu nodded thoughtfully, ”Alright, I’ll keep that in mind. Oh right, Brother Wang, how long can I use this Demon Soldier Bow?”

Wang Zongying: ”About one year. That’s also the upper limit for usage in the Newbie Level Demon Soldier category.”

”Understood!” Du Yu lowered his head, running his fingers lovingly over the Demon Soldier Bow, rubbing his fingertips along its blade edge—he couldn’t put it down.

Wang Zongying also broke into a smile: ”With such a unique arrow array at your disposal, you’ll be running the show among students in your cohort.”

Well, that’s a given~

Du Yu nodded approvingly—getting a piece of Divine Armor so early on, who could argue with that...

With me as the ADC, surely I’ll carry for at least a year, right?

”Also, here’s your Library Ring.” Wang Zongying pulled open a drawer and took out a small, red square box.

Lin Shiwei’s gaze turned over as well. Among the younger generation of the Lin Family, none had acquired a Library Ring yet.

Without a doubt, all the young Demon Tamers of the Lin Family were competing behind the scenes, but this kind of honor couldn’t be faked.

Especially given how strict the Bookstore’s vetting was—if you tried to get a ring by underhanded means, you’d almost certainly get caught—and the Lin Family couldn’t afford to lose face like that.

”Thanks, Brother Wang.” Du Yu leaned in to take the square box and opened the lid with one hand.

The ring inside left Du Yu dumbfounded: ”It’s actually a Golden Ring?”

But this Golden Ring looked very similar in style to the Bronze and Dark Silver Rings Du Yu got before, all with a hint of antiquity, rather weathered and subdued in tone.

As Du Yu turned the dark-gold ring, four bold, flowing characters came into Lin Shiwei’s line of sight: Demon Spirit Bookstore.

Inside the dark-gold ring were also two characters stamped: Du Yu.

Wang Zongying: ”That’s right. The South Suburbs Bottomless Bookstore’s signature quest has a Golden Ring as its reward.”

Du Yu nodded gently: ”Mm...”

Bottomless is a real battlefield, and this type of Demon Spirit Realm is particularly special—its danger level rises the deeper a human ventures.

In other words, the difficulty of the Demon Spirit Realm·Bottomless has no upper limit.

So, judging from this, the Bottomless Bookstore in the South Suburbs determines its signature bounty quest level according to the number of floors open to Demon Tamers in Great Xia.
