High Martial Arts: I Awaken a Low-Tier Martial System

Chapter 239: Chapter 197: Piercing Star

”Archery?”

Bai Gui looked at him unexpectedly.

She had seen Jiang Ye’s previous battles and it was clear he excelled in spear techniques.

But now Jiang Ye chose archery, which seemed indeed strange.

In fact, Jiang Ye’s choice of archery was due to multiple considerations.

The most important reason, of course, was the ’Void Seeking Enemy’ effect.

[Void Seeking Enemy: For distances over ten meters, remote hit rate is increased by 100%, damage increased by 1%-100%, the farther the distance, the higher the damage, and there’s a 0.1% chance to put the target in a ’Void Imprisonment’ state.]

This effect is hard to trigger with spear techniques.

But once Jiang Ye had a means of long-range attack, things would be very different.

”Do you have archery techniques?” Jiang Ye looked at Bai Gui and asked again.

”Of course we do.” Bai Gui nodded.

Following that, she waved her hand.

”Beep!” A projection appeared.

Within the projection, a list was displayed.

”These are all Celestial Tier and above archery inheritances; you may choose one from them.” Bai Gui said coolly.

Jiang Ye looked at the list.

[Unity Arrow Technique]

[Void Arrow Technique]

[Wind Thunder Arrow Technique]

[...]

”Senior, can I only choose one?” Jiang Ye turned his head and asked.

”Yes.” Bai Gui slightly nodded.

”You just mentioned I am an inheritor of the White Dragon civilization.” Jiang Ye couldn’t help but wonder: ”Why are there still these restrictions?”

Logically, shouldn’t everything here belong to me?

”Although you are an inheritor, you have not yet met the conditions to inherit the White Dragon Royal Court.”

Bai Gui explained, ”The rules here were set by the master back then, and I cannot change them.”

”Once you reach the Seventh Break, you can attempt to refine the White Dragon Royal Court.” Bai Gui said.

”Understood.” Jiang Ye nodded.

Refining the White Dragon Royal Court? He had no interest in that.

After all, it was White Dragon University’s foundational base; they gave him a chance for advancement, and he couldn’t just take away their foundation, could he?

His thoughts flickered in his mind.

Jiang Ye redirected his gaze toward the projection before him.

His eyes skimmed over the arrow technique inheritances one by one.

Finally, they rested on a particular name.

[Arrow Technique·Piercing Star: Upper Celestial Tier Starry Sky Secret Technique, can be cultivated to the Ninth Break...Piercing Star Arrow Technique is renowned for ’tracking over ten thousand miles, piercing stars and suns’, an arrow shot can traverse star rivers and destroy stars...]

Its power is immense.

The range is extraordinarily far.

This one’s it!

”Senior.” Jiang Ye promptly looked toward the white-clad sword-bearing figure: ”I choose the Piercing Star Arrow Technique.”

Bai Gui nodded again and extended her slender, jade-like fingers towards Jiang Ye’s glabella.

”Boom~”

A vast torrent instantly surged into Jiang Ye’s mind.

Archery, like spear techniques, saber techniques, and swordsmanship, all belong to weapon skills.

Starry Sky Secret Techniques are also included.

The difference from ordinary techniques is that Starry Sky Secret Techniques have a highly efficient utilization of Star Energy.

Ordinary techniques can only exert 10% of Star Energy’s power.

Whereas Starry Sky Secret Techniques can at least exert 50% or more, Upper Celestial Tier? Only higher.

...

As Jiang Ye absorbed the inheritance.

At White Dragon University, in a spacious personal training room.

”Thank you, Teacher Xie, for your guidance.”

A young girl in a moon-white chiffon dress, legs white as jade, cold and exquisitely beautiful, slightly bowed before the black-robed elder.

”Chen.” Qiu Cang laughed: ”Your progress speed is even faster than when at the Third Break, seems your recent state is quite good.”

He looked at the girl in front of him, increasingly satisfied.

Logically, after breaking through the Fourth Break, even with the Tao Bone talent, one would gradually slow down.

But Chen Zilu? She showed no signs of slowing, still advancing vigorously.

”Recently, indeed the gains are great.” Chen Zilu did not deny.

Ever since breaking through the Fourth Break, she had advanced in leaps and bounds.

Now, she was in the mid-period of the Fourth Break.

Qiu Cang looked at her and suddenly remembered something.

”Extreme Sea Essence Liquid.” Qiu Cang asked: ”How much more do you need?”

”The ones teacher gave me last time are enough to last for a long while.” Chen Zilu shook her head slightly.

”Don’t hold back, just tell me if you can’t withstand it.” Qiu Cang said warmly: ”Although the Extreme Sea Essence Liquid is extremely rare, I can obtain it at a cost.”

”Teacher needn’t worry too much about me.” Chen Zilu was still shaking her head: ”I can bear it.”

Qiu Cang didn’t say more, but in his glance towards the girl, there was a trace of tenderness and concern.

Chen Zilu didn’t continue the topic.

Instead, she said: ”Teacher, what inheritance did my junior brother acquire?”

In recent days, she had been secluding in her room, unaware of outside news.

”Your junior brother?”

Qiu Cang recalled and shook his head: ”Didn’t manage to obtain Celestial Tier inheritance, only Upper Earth Tier.”

Chen Zilu was momentarily stunned.

”Teacher, I’m not talking about Tang Wuji.” She shook her head gently: ”Another junior brother.”

”You mean Jiang Ye?” Qiu Cang looked at her unexpectedly and laughed: ”Planning to acknowledge him as your junior brother?”

”He calls you teacher.” Chen Zilu helplessly said: ”Should I keep calling you teacher then?”

”Indeed.”

Qiu Cang laughed and continued: ”Jiang Ye hasn’t come out yet.”

”Not yet come out?” Chen Zilu was taken aback, then nodded.

”You don’t seem surprised?” Qiu Cang asked unexpectedly.

”He often surprises people.” A moving smile appeared on Chen Zilu’s fair, pretty face: ”But this isn’t much of a surprise.”

”Oh?” Qiu Cang asked curiously: ”Why?”

”Jiang Ye’s Martial Bone has awakened a second time, didn’t he tell you?” Chen Zilu asked in puzzlement.

Qiu Cang was taken aback.

He had indeed speculated this possibility but hadn’t confirmed it.

”Martial Bone second awakening?” Qiu Cang couldn’t help asking: ”Did you ask him?”

”Yes.” Chen Zilu nodded.

”No wonder...” Qiu Cang’s eyes showed a look of contemplation.

Original Talent, Martial Bone second awakening, and possibly awakening Martial Arts Will Perception!

This kid, is he stacking buffs?

Though even more surprising was that Chen Zilu knew this before him.

As far as he knew, this girl never cared about other guys, it was the first time.

Suddenly.

Qiu Cang’s gaze fell on the starry glimmer at the girl’s chest.

He remembered that Chen Zilu never wore any adornment.

Just a plain white dress alone was enough to allure countless young geniuses.

”That necklace.” Qiu Cang laughed with an intriguing look: ”Did Jiang Ye give it to you?”

”Yes.” Chen Zilu nodded.

”Before, that Zhou Family kid gave you gifts which you never accepted.” Qiu Cang laughed: ”Why this time, you accepted Jiang Ye’s gift?”

”Teacher.” Chen Zilu looked at him helplessly, you’re too gossipy.

”He’s my junior brother.”

Chen Zilu blinked her pretty eyes: ”He gave me a meeting gift; I couldn’t turn it down, otherwise he’d be hurt.”

”Indeed.”

Qiu Cang nodded slightly and continued: ”What’s your feeling towards Jiang Ye?”

”Feeling?” Chen Zilu instinctively said: ”Quite fond...”

She suddenly paused midway.

”Fond of what?” Qiu Cang curiously looked at her.

”Teacher!”

Chen Zilu gave Qiu Cang a helpless look, you’re really becoming more gossipy!

”Don’t misunderstand.” Chen Zilu emphasized: ”Jiang Ye and I have no other relationship.”

”I was his teacher before, now his senior sister, that’s all.”

Chen Zilu said seriously.

”Indeed.”

Qiu Cang nodded and said: ”Your current priority is to reach the Seventh Break quickly.”

He knew the girl’s uniqueness and the things she carried.

All these made it destined for Chen Zilu’s heart not to be occupied elsewhere.

However, the more one cares about something, the more one emphasizes it.

Qiu Cang remembered that when Chen Zilu rejected other boys’ gifts, she never took the trouble to explain anything, sometimes she didn’t even bother to say a word.

But this time? Explaining these, was not like her style.

The girl’s heart is most difficult to guess.

Perhaps, Chen Zilu spoke that way to avoid causing trouble for Jiang Ye, since the gap between Jiang Ye and her was still too great.

The young geniuses pursuing Chen Zilu included extraordinary talents in the Fourth Break and Fifth Break.

”That Jiang Ye is indeed a bit weak.” Qiu Cang thought inwardly.

Just when he thought of this.

Suddenly.

”Boom!”

The direction where the White Dragon Court resided suddenly erupted with a vast and terrifying pressure.

Brilliant beams of light soared into the sky.
