370, Bow Without String, Everything Can Be Shot [Second Update]_1

The drama unfolding was indeed breathtaking... Chen Xin carefully capped the miraculous and terrifying pen and put it away cautiously.

He was very anxious, so much so that he wondered in what unpredictable manner his "streak of bad luck" would descend upon him when he reached the five hundred words milestone.

"Senior, I... I will continue to attack," he said.

Lin Yi nodded slightly, "Mhm."

Without further thought, Chen Xin released his Martial Soul True Body once again.

This was the fourth time today he had unleashed his Martial Soul True Body.

The Seven Kills Sword, hovering in mid-air, was surrounded by fierce sword auras, and Chen Xin's figure soon became ethereal, merging into the body of the sword.

This caused the entire Seven Kills Sword to swell once again, its surging sword aura rampaging across the platform with unstoppable force.

Following that, a deep voice echoed:

"Third soul skill, Calm as Flowing Water!"

As the voice faded away, the Seven Kills Sword swiftly drifted backward, its blade turning horizontally, still looking as if it were held in Chen Xin's grasp.

Soon, the sword's body trembled, and its sharp edge drew fine white lines in mid-air, as if slicing the space itself into cracks.

The lines meandered gently, flowing smoothly like carefully drawn waves, and in the next moment, the aura emanating from the Seven Kills Sword suddenly intensified, as if the sound of crashing waves really filled the air.

The strands of snow-white lines instantly tensed, seemingly dictating the direction in which the Seven Kills Sword would drop. Amidst a torrent of flowing water sounds, the Seven Kills Sword quietly approached Lin Yi's neck without a trace.

The attack was gentle, yet it contained firmness within its softness.

Regrettably, Lin Yi's defense was uncompromising; otherwise, the figure standing there would be a body without a head, and the neatly cut neck would not even bleed—a masterpiece crafted by a swordmaster.

Chen Xin quickly dissolved his real body and reappeared in human form, grasping the sword hilt.

Without the enhancements of the real body and an effortless counterattack, the techniques of Dugu Jiujian were the most suitable.

Chen Xin assumed his stance, and in an instant, the Seven Kills Sword in his hand became gentle. The snow-white blade fluttered like silky ribbon in the wind, humming continuously.

Yet the sword aura in the air continued its fierce rampage, becoming more intense.

Chen Xin's eyes soon became piercing. He flicked his wrist, and the long sword darted out like a viper's tongue, quickly thrusting forward; however, in that instant, a series of dense white sword shadows covered the Damage Rebound.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"

The Damage Rebound shattered into countless irregular fragments, with exceedingly neat cuts.

Chen Xin stood with his sword, bowing to Lin Yi.

[Blood Loss: 330,467]

[Remaining Life: 899,886,056,789]

[Damage Grade: Red (Intermediate)]

[Random Reward: All Things Can Be Shot]

[Host Reward: All Things Can Be Shot (No Critical Hits)]

Cough cough... Shoot? Shoot what?

This appeared to be an ability.

Lin Yi opened the annotations to check and suddenly froze; this reward was not an ability but an item. However, the item's special trait was—All Things Can Be Shot!

After carefully examining its features, Lin Yi said to Chen Xin, "330,467, Red Intermediate; your reward is a magical bow, and its special feature is that all things can be shot with it."

Chen Xin's expression was blank as she asked, "Shoot…shoot what?"

You ask the same questions as I do…

"Of course, it's whatever you want to shoot. Doesn't it all depend on you? The characteristic of this ability indicates that you can use anything to shoot, not that you can shoot everything."

Chen Xin's face suddenly registered surprise, "I can use anything to shoot? Then can I...can I use Gu Rong as an arrow to shoot?"

Down below, Gu Rong immediately widened his eyes. He hadn't even unleashed his anger about the shoe-eating incident yet. "You little punk! What nonsense are you spouting?!"

But Lin Yi merely smiled slightly and said, "Of course, you can."

"What?!"

Chen Xin and Gu Rong expressed their shock simultaneously.

Is there such a bow?! That's a person! Can they also be used as an arrow?!

What kind of beastly reward is this?!

Lin Yi continued to explain, "Like I said, it's everything, including living beings and non-living entities."

"When you hold the bow in your left hand and think about which item you want to use as an arrow, you need to touch that item with your right hand. No matter what form the item is in, it will instantly transform into the shape of an 'arrow.' Of course, the appearance of the arrow will change according to the unique features of the item."

"However, you should note that from the moment you touch it with the idea, the item will only transform into the shape of an arrow for five seconds. Once the five seconds pass, the 'arrow' will revert to its original form. To use it again, you have to wait for the cooldown to reset after a minute and touch him/her/it in the same manner."

Chen Xin nodded, intrigued by the idea. There's such a move?!

But he completely understood.

One hand holds the bow, the other touches a person... cough, or anything else works too. And the touched object will turn into an arrow for five seconds. Once the five seconds are up, the arrow reverts back to its original form. During those five seconds, he would have plenty of time to shoot the arrow.

It's just that he didn't know about the damage... Although the setting was quite magical.

The next moment, Lin Yi continued, "You must be concerned about the damage."

Chen Xin immediately nodded with a smile upon hearing this.

Lin Yi said, "There are two criteria for damage, each targeting living beings and non-living entities. For living beings, the power of the arrow they transform into when shot out is based on the strength of the living being itself. The greater their strength, the stronger the power of the arrow."

"For non-living entities, the power when shot out is determined by their weight. The heavier the object, the greater the power of the arrow."

Hearing this, Chen Xin's eyes suddenly widened.

"Weight?! So can I... can I hold the bow in one hand and touch a mountain with the other hand, turning a mountain into an arrow?"

Lin Yi continued to nod with a smile, "Of course, you can. Heavy things like mountains, light things like air, you can turn them all into arrows. I said everything."

"However, if you touch the ground with your hand, you won't pick up the entire continent... it will only turn that piece of the ground into an arrow. If you touch the air, you're not going to turn all the air in the world into arrows, just a portion of the air."

"In short, the object being touched cannot be so large that its shape exceeds the field of vision accessible to humans. Anything below this requirement can be transformed into an arrow, and each arrow will have a completely different appearance, each with its own characteristics."

Having finished explaining, Lin Yi flicked the red glowing ball towards Chen Xin.

Chen Xin immediately caught it joyfully in her hands. The glowing ball turned into a silvery white bow, approximately one meter in height. To everyone's surprise, it was stringless.

A bow without a string?
