Chapter 326: Consummation of the God-Controlling Arrow Technique

"Brother Yan, what should we do next?" Guli finally asked.

"Go find Ji Wanqing," Yan Luo's tone was as cold as the ice of the twelfth lunar month. "See where that piece of trash Wang Deye has died, and also, who exactly has the guts to openly slap my face."

"Understood," Guli replied, following closely behind.

It must be said that this matter is indeed intricate and shrouded in fog.

But in the eyes of that person, all truth has nowhere to hide. One can only hope that fellow Wang Deye is still alive...

【God-Controlling Arrow: Entry, Characteristics: One Ox Strength Level 1, Gather Spirit Level 1】

Looking at the two characteristics that appeared before his eyes, a smile of joy involuntarily emerged on Chen Fan's face.

Two hundred and forty points of Experience Value invested, he hadn't expected such a rich return; this God-Controlling Arrow had truly brought him no small surprise.

Each level increased adds 100 points of strength, which means his physical fitness will be significantly improved, allowing him to unleash more powerful strength in battle.

And the thirty percent increase in Mental Attribute is even more paramount.

One must know, his current Mental Attribute is already approaching three hundred thousand points; even a ten percent increase would be a terrifying boost of thirty thousand points, let alone thirty percent—this is undoubtedly a qualitative leap.

"If the God-Controlling Arrow reaches Consummation, with the Level 5 God-Controlling characteristics stacked, wouldn't my Mental Power exceed one million?" Chen Fan's eyes suddenly lit up.

Possessing one million points of Mental Power, even if he opened the Heaven-Human Induction distance to the maximum, he could maintain it for more than ten seconds.

Just for this alone, he felt that learning this arrow technique was well worth it.

"Continue to upgrade, there must be even more powerful characteristics later," Chen Fan said, then added another four hundred and eighty points of Experience Value. Instantly, the Mental Power in his mind grew stronger by a few notches.

【God-Controlling Arrow: Minor Accomplishment, Characteristics: One Ox Strength Level 2, Gather Spirit Level 2】

This time, no new characteristic was unlocked. Chen Fan shifted his thoughts and once again consumed nearly one thousand points of Experience Value without hesitation.

In an instant, a segment of memory appeared in his mind.

【God-Controlling Arrow: Entering the Hall, Characteristics: One Ox Strength Level 3, Gather Spirit Level 3, Tracking Arrow Level 1】

"Tracking Arrow?" Chen Fan couldn't help but be a bit surprised; he curiously examined this newly appeared characteristic.

【Tracking Arrow: Active Skill, consumes 1000 points of True Qi, 500 points of Mental Power. After activation, a single arrow can sense the enemy's aura and perform a tracking attack. Each level the skill increases, the number of tracking arrows increases by one.】

Chen Fan studied it for a while, and a sense of interest gradually welled up in his heart.

Although this characteristic doesn't increase the arrow's power much—at Level 1 it can only fire one tracking arrow, and even if the arrow technique is practiced to Consummation, it can only fire three at once.

But its uniqueness made Chen Fan's eyes light up; the arrow seems to be endowed with life, as if it had eyes, capable of precisely tracking the target and flexibly turning corners, hitting the opponent from all sorts of unimaginable angles, leaving the enemy unable to guard against it.

However, he also knew that if used alone, it is indeed a bit lackluster; after all, one can only fire one tracking arrow at a time, making it difficult to pose a Fatal threat to enemies in high-level duels.

But if it could be stacked with the Sun-Shooting Arrow or the Flame Arrow, it would be completely different; the effect would be equivalent to a guided missile, capable of delivering a heavy blow to the enemy in an instant.

"I wonder if other characteristics can be unlocked later?" Chen Fan pondered to himself.

Intuition told him there should be more. The three characteristics unlocked so far don't seem to have touched the core essence of this arrow technique yet.

Chen Fan gritted his teeth and consumed nearly six thousand more points of Experience Value, finally raising the 【God-Controlling Arrow】 to the Consummation Realm.

【God-Controlling Arrow: Consummation, Characteristics: One Ox Strength Level 5, Gather Spirit Level 5, Tracking Arrow Level 3, God-Controlling Arrow Level 1】

【God-Controlling Arrow: Active Skill, after activation, consumes a minimum of ten thousand points of Mental Power to materialize Mental Power into an arrow. After hitting the opponent, it deals double the Mental Damage to the opponent's soul. Each level the skill increases, the damage increases by one fold.】

After reading this, Chen Fan couldn't help but gasp.

This God-Controlling Arrow actually requires no physical arrow; to be precise, it can materialize the Mental Power in the practitioner's mind, just like sword radiance or blade energy.

However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the difficulty of the former is much higher than the latter; just this point alone makes it look full of prestige.

Of course, its practicality is also quite high.

First is the power; double the Mental Damage means that the arrow he condenses by consuming ten thousand points of Mental Power can deal twenty thousand points of Mental Damage when it hits the opponent.

In comparison, the Soul Extinguishing Finger, which also attacks the soul, can only deal one fold of Mental Damage.

Secondly, the attack range is also vastly different. The attack range of the Soul Extinguishing Finger is around one hundred meters, and the further the distance, the lower the damage.

But the attack range of the God-Controlling Arrow depends on the bow in hand; the further the bow's range, the larger the attack range of the God-Controlling Arrow.

If one adds the Jian She Chang Kong skill from the 【Sun-Shooting Arrow Technique】, the attack range can be increased by another fold.

Chen Fan felt that there should be no problem using these two characteristics stacked together; after all, the arrow materialized from Mental Power is, in essence, still an arrow.

Of course, just in case, he still planned to go out and test it for real later.

By now, all three arrow techniques had been raised to the Consummation Realm.

Even though the bow in his hand was still the same one as before, his combat power had increased by more than two-fold at this moment.

If he were to encounter an opponent like the Fire-Scaled Pig again, he would have full confidence that he could kill it using several methods.

However, before that, there was still a key problem waiting to be solved, and that was True Qi.

This thing is like the blue bar in a game; if the blue bar is insufficient, no matter how powerful the skill is, it cannot be unleashed.

Chen Fan glanced at his Experience Value; there were still over 320,000 left.

"The Experience Value is still quite abundant. Let's learn the few Prescriptions first, so that other martial arts don't occupy too much Experience Value later, which would be troublesome if I run out."

Currently, he has four True Qi Pill Prescriptions in his hands: two can refine High Grade True Qi Pills, one can refine Top Grade True Qi Pills, and there is one that can refine Heaven-Grade True Qi Pills.

Chen Fan pondered for a moment and decided to start with the High Grade True Qi Pill Prescription, which has the lowest success rate, learning them in order from easy to difficult.

After raising all four Alchemy skills to the Consummation Realm, he would then try to fuse them to see how the effect turns out.

"I wonder what will happen after fusion." Chen Fan's eyes were full of anticipation, and then he focused his attention on the skill bar.

【True Qi Pill Alchemy: Not Even a Clue】

He added one point of Experience Value to it, and saw the proficiency increase by one four-hundredth.

"So high?" Chen Fan widened his eyes in surprise.

The Top-grade Blood Qi Pill Prescription from the Awakened Association only required one hundred and fifty points of Experience Value for Entry, while the True Qi Pill Alchemy required four hundred points for Entry—more than twice that of the Blood Qi Pill!

"This situation doesn't look good?"

He looked at the other three Alchemy skills, especially the one that could refine Heaven Grade Qi Blood Pill, and couldn't help but mutter to himself: wouldn't the Entry Experience Value for that be over a thousand points?

Even for the omnipotent Awakened Association, I fear there are few people who could cultivate this Alchemy to Consummation, and thereby refine a Heaven-Grade True Qi Pill, right?

Chen Fan took a deep breath, composed his mind, and poured all of his remaining three hundred-plus Experience Value into it at once. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration sparked in his mind.

【True Qi Pill: Entry, Traits: Pill Formation Level 1, Low Grade】

Just like the Entry level of Blood Qi Pill Alchemy, it unlocked the same two traits, though the success rate is likely vastly different.

Chen Fan took a deep breath and clicked again...
