Chapter 186: Born with Divine Strength

"Chairman, let me take a look first."

As Lu Yu spoke, he reached out his hand first and picked up the long bow with the slightly smaller bow limbs.

The bow was heavy, feeling extremely weighty in his hand; Lu Yu secretly estimated that it weighed at least one or two thousand catties.

Looking at the bowstring, it was terrifyingly thick, almost comparable to a small child's arm.

He picked up an arrow; it would be more accurate to call this arrow a javelin than an arrow.

It weighed nearly two catties, and the sharp arrowhead alone was as long as a palm, shimmering with a cold light under the lights of the secret room, making one shudder.

"Chairman, this arrowhead..." Lu Yu looked at Song Tian in confusion.

"They are all made of Second-tier Alloy, capable of easily piercing the scales of an Advanced Fierce Beast," Song Tian explained with a smile.

Lu Yu took another deep breath, a wave of emotion surging in his heart.

That is to say, every single one of these arrows is an Advanced Armor-Piercing Arrow with astonishing power!

He gently set down the bow and arrow in his hand and prepared to pick up the second bow.

"Little Brother Lu, wait!" Seeing this, Song Tian was shocked and hurriedly spoke to stop him.

"What is it, Chairman?" Lu Yu turned his head, looking at Song Tian in confusion.

"Little Brother Lu, this second bow is a ten-thousand-catty draw weight bow; the weight of the bow itself exceeds three thousand catties.

With your current strength, it is still quite dangerous to try to pick it up with one hand," Song Tian said with a look of concern.

Picking it up is just the most basic step; to actually use this bow, one must be able to draw it.

One must know that even for him, a Transformation Energy Martial Artist, it would be extremely difficult to draw that five-thousand-catty draw weight bow without using the energy within his body.

And if one does not use the energy within the body, even if one exhausts all their strength, trying to draw this ten-thousand-catty draw weight bow is simply a pipe dream!

Therefore, he really could not understand how Lu Yu, who was at the Dark Energy Realm, could possibly do it.

Hearing this, Lu Yu could not help but laugh. He had thought it was something major.

"Chairman, to tell you the truth, I have Divine Strength," Lu Yu said with a calm expression.

"Divine Strength?" Song Tian was stunned for a moment, and then he watched, dumbfounded, as Lu Yu reached out one hand and easily lifted the ten-thousand-catty draw weight bow out of the box.

With a "Boom," this scene stirred up a huge storm in Song Tian's heart; he felt as if his worldview was about to collapse.

And what shocked him even more was that after Lu Yu got the bow, he actually weighed it lightly in his hand as if he were weighing an ordinary object.

"It does seem to weigh over three thousand catties," Lu Yu said to himself.

At this moment, the bow in his hand, both the bowstring and the bow body, was nearly twice as thick as the previous one.

The weight of the arrows used reached over four catties, and the huge arrowhead looked exceptionally terrifying!

"A ten-thousand-catty draw weight bow, paired with this kind of arrow..."

Lu Yu licked his lips, his eyes full of excitement, wishing he could rush out of the Association right now to find a few Advanced Fierce Beasts to test the power of this bow.

After all, the draw weight of such a level of bow is exactly 50 times that of a 200-catty bow.

Making a rough estimate, within a range of one hundred meters, with such powerful draw weight, it should not be difficult to shoot through a 150-centimeter-thick steel plate.

Considering the loss of kinetic energy during flight, at a distance of one thousand meters, with the help of an Advanced Armor-Piercing Arrow, could it also shoot through a 10-centimeter-thick steel plate? Theoretically, this possibility is quite high.

One must know that a 30mm autocannon can only penetrate 38mm, which is 4 centimeters of steel plate, at a distance of one thousand meters.

In terms of range, the Eight-Ox Crossbow has a range of up to 1500 meters, and this ten-thousand-catty draw weight bow, with its draw weight doubled, should have a range of at least two thousand meters, right?

In this way, it is not inferior to a 30mm autocannon.

More importantly, at closer distances, especially within one thousand meters, this ten-thousand-catty draw weight bow will have a higher initial velocity, and the corresponding power will be greater!

Based on these considerations, Lu Yu made a prompt decision, quickly took off the arrow quiver he was carrying on his back, and replaced it with the one containing arrows weighing four catties each; there were twenty arrows in total, which was not a large number.

At the same time, he put the five-hundred-catty draw weight bow back into the box.

"!!!" Witnessing this series of actions, Song Tian, who was standing on the side, was completely stunned, his eyes widened like copper bells.

After a long while, he stammered as he stared at Lu Yu and asked: "Little Brother Lu, you... what are you doing?"

As he spoke, his gaze subconsciously looked at the five-thousand-catty draw weight bow.

He already believed that Lu Yu truly possessed Divine Strength, but being able to pick up a bow and being able to draw a bow were two completely different concepts!

He was full of suspicion and could not help but ponder in his heart: Are you really sure you can draw this bow? You must know, this is a bow with a draw weight as high as ten thousand catties!

Lu Yu gave him a confident smile.

"Chairman, didn't I tell you before? I have Divine Strength. This ten-thousand-catty draw weight bow is just right for me; the five-thousand-catty one actually felt a bit light."

"Little Brother Lu, don't joke with me."

Song Tian's expression instantly became very serious, "I don't object to you using this bow, but before that, you must prove to me that you can actually draw it.

Otherwise, I will absolutely not let you take this bow out of here just like that."

Song Tian was not making trouble for no reason; he was doing this entirely out of a sense of responsibility toward Lu Yu.

To be precise, as the Branch Chairman, he cared deeply about the safety of every member.

Especially in the current situation, the headquarters had gifted an extra ten-thousand-catty draw weight bow out of their high regard for Lu Yu.

But if he just let Lu Yu leave with this bow, what would happen if an unexpected situation occurred later?

Even if the headquarters did not hold him accountable, his own heart would feel guilty and uneasy for the rest of his life.

"Chairman, you want to see me draw this bow with your own eyes, right?" Lu Yu asked with a smile, a hint of understanding in his eyes.

"That's right." Song Tian's expression remained grave, and he said in a firm tone, "Unless you can do it, I will never let you take this bow half a step out of the Branch."

"Alright." Lu Yu felt slightly helpless, but a sense of being moved also welled up in his heart; he understood that the Chairman was acting out of good intentions.

"The space here is limited; we need to find a more spacious place, and ordinary targets won't do. It would be best to find a few thick steel plates."

Song Tian was slightly stunned, then replied: "A few steel plates are no problem; the Branch has them in various thicknesses. As for the venue, just go to the basement; there is a 500-meter target range there."

"Okay, then Chairman, let's go now." Lu Yu said with a smile, his heart full of anticipation.

On one hand, he could not wait to see exactly how powerful this ten-thousand-catty draw weight bow was.

On the other hand, he thought that by using this bow to practice Basic Archery, the improvement in speed would surely be quite astonishing.

"Good."

Seeing Lu Yu's full-of-confidence appearance, Song Tian's heart could not help but waver slightly.

Could this young man really be able to do it? But if he truly could, he would at least have to be a Martial Artist of the Vein Refining Realm, right? Yet, isn't he only at the Dark Energy stage?
