Chapter 1282: The Annoying ’Bowstring

Chapter 1282: Chapter 1282: The Annoying ’Bowstring

Dark arrows hurt people, and though it might be considered impolite, it cannot be denied that it is the most effective and direct method.

Thus, when Wyatt Barnes crafted the bow and arrow in his hands, he intentionally subdued their sheen.

The bow and arrow can only exhibit their most terrifying power by catching the enemy off guard.

"Now, both the bow and this arrow are ’Emperor Grade Spiritual Weapons’..."

Wyatt Barnes’s gaze rested on the all-black bow and arrow in his hands, which emitted a crisp sound as he infused them with Origin Force.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, Wyatt Barnes flicked his wrist, and the bow and arrow burst forth.

Where they passed, air was vacuumed out, and only when he retracted them did delayed booms like muffled thunder erupt.

"This is my first time crafting Emperor Grade Spiritual Weapons, giving them a ’two-fold’ amplification power... It seems, as an Emperor Grade Artifact Refiner, I am quite competent."

The forces of heaven and earth here, although they do not fluctuate due to anyone’s strength or even condense into ’Heaven and Earth Phenomenon’, Wyatt Barnes still roughly tested the amplification power of the bow and arrow.

Whether the bow or the arrow, even when separated, each reached the level of ’Emperor Grade Spiritual Weapon’.

"Now, I need to inscribe the ’Mother-Child Formation’ on them."

As Wyatt Barnes thought this, materials appeared in his lifting hand, controlled by an invisible force, hovering in mid-air.

These materials, precisely the ones for inscriptions.

He planned to inscribe a ’Mother-Child Formation’ on the newly crafted ’bow’ and ’arrow’, making them like a child and its mother, never to part from each other.

The Mother-Child Formation is an extremely common ’Inscription Formation’.

Even on Cloud Skies Continent, many people know how to inscribe the ’Mother-Child Formation’, which is often used on bow and arrow type spiritual weapons.

A bow and arrow type spiritual weapon inscribed with the ’Mother-Child Formation’ can allow the ’arrow’, once shot and through activating the formation on the ’bow’, to timely return to the side of the ’bow’.

Of course, the Mother-Child Formation has an effective range.

The widely circulated ’Mother-Child Formation’ on the Cloud Skies Continent has an effective range of ’one hundred meters’.

Meaning, only arrows shot within one hundred meters can be retrieved through the Mother-Child Formation.

Once it exceeds one hundred meters, the arrow is lost.

For this reason, very few people on Cloud Skies Continent use bow and arrow type spiritual weapons.

If the opponent is over one hundred meters away, it’s fine if you can kill them with one shot, but if you miss and you have no ’arrows’ left, it’s quite dangerous.

And the power of an ’arrow’ also lies in its quality, thus it’s impossible to carry too many.

Just like the Emperor Grade Spiritual Weapon level ’arrows’ in Wyatt Barnes’s hands.

Even if he had used up all the remaining Steel Inky, he could at most craft two more ’arrows’.

The last time he went to Mist Hidden City to gather materials, he discovered that even on Mist Hidden Island, there was no ’Steel Inky’.

The rarity of Steel Inky is imaginable.

And Steel Inky is precisely the essential material for crafting Emperor Grade Spiritual Weapons.

"Fortunately, the ’Mother-Child Formation’ from the memories of the Reincarnation Martial Emperor has been improved by him... with an effective range reaching five hundred meters! It’s five times the common Mother-Child Formation."

Thinking of this, Wyatt Barnes sighed in relief.

This also means that once he inscribes the ’Mother-Child Formation’ on the bow and arrow in his hands, as long as the arrow is no farther than five hundred meters from the bow, he can summon it back at any time through the Mother-Child Formation.

Once it exceeds five hundred meters, he’ll have to retrieve the arrow himself.

And if he is facing an opponent in the midst of a battle, how is the opponent going to give him the time to retrieve the arrow.

So, unless he has more than one arrow in hand, or he’s confident in killing or seriously injuring the opponent with one shot... Otherwise, once the opponent is beyond five hundred meters, he would not dare to shoot recklessly.

"It seems, for safety’s sake, it might be necessary to use the remaining Steel Inky with other materials to craft two more arrows as backups."

Wyatt Barnes said to himself.

In doing so, within five hundred meters, he will have two more chances for error.

As long as he is confident in seriously injuring or killing the opponent with three arrows, regardless of whether the opponent is beyond five hundred meters, he can freely shoot.

"However... once an arrow shot with my strength moves out of my line of sight, it becomes difficult to find it again."

"So, unless necessary, it’s best not to shoot at opponents beyond five hundred meters."

Thinking of this, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but smirk.

Let alone someone else’s arrows.

Even the arrows in his hand, each, even if considered separately, is an ’Emperor Grade Spiritual Weapon’, and he wouldn’t want to lose them.

Then, Wyatt Barnes released his hand and began inscribing the ’Mother-Child Formation’.

Because the Reincarnation Martial Emperor had once inscribed and arranged this type of inscription formation, Wyatt Barnes, who had prepared the materials in advance, easily inscribed and placed the ’Mother-Child Formation’ on the bow and arrow.

"Let’s try."

After setting up the Mother-Child Formation, Wyatt Barnes flicked his hand, and the arrow in his hand flew out.

Whoosh!

The arrow broke through the air, like a bolt released from a bow, its speed even faster than lightning.

However, its trajectory was still within Wyatt Barnes’s sight.

Just as it was about to exceed the five hundred meter range, Wyatt Barnes thought of activating the ’Mother-Child Formation’ on the bow in his hand.

Whoosh!

In an instant, the arrow turned back and returned to his hand.

"Again!"

Wyatt Barnes raised his hand again and threw the arrow, but this time, he did not activate the Mother-Child Formation on the bow but instead chased after it himself.

When he chased after it, he used the power that threw the arrow, simultaneously utilizing the amplifying power of the bow, a ’Emperor Grade Spiritual Weapon’.

Because the arrow itself was an Emperor Grade spiritual weapon, if not so, Wyatt Barnes wouldn’t have been able to catch up with the arrow.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

For a moment, Wyatt Barnes’s own speed was nearly on par with the arrow, neither advancing nor falling behind.

However, the arrow ultimately lacked sustained force and gradually slowed down, eventually being caught by Wyatt Barnes in his hand.

"This is still an arrow that hasn’t been shot from a bowstring..."

Wyatt Barnes understood.

If it were an arrow shot with full force through a bowstring, he would not have been able to catch up.

Soon, Wyatt Barnes took out the cow tendon, from a Transforming Void Realm ninth level bovine Demon Beast, which he had prepared earlier from the Storage Ring.

The cow tendon, which didn’t require further refinement, could be directly mounted onto the bow body.

Back when he was crafting the bow body, Wyatt Barnes had already prepared an attachment point for the bowstring.

After mounting and tightening the cow tendon, both the bow body and string were in place, forming a perfect bow.

"Now, let’s test the power of this bow."

Wyatt Barnes took out an arrow, set it on the bowstring, and pulled it back forcefully with his hand.

However, just as the arrow was imbued with power and the bowstring was pulled into a full moon by him, an utterly unexpected scene occurred.

Snap!

A crisp sound, the bowstring broke.

"This..."

Looking at the cow tendon that had snapped into two pieces in front of him, Wyatt Barnes was completely dumbfounded and bitterly smiled after a moment of shock.

"It seems that the cow tendon from a Transforming Void Realm ninth level Demon Beast is not sufficient to serve as the ’bowstring’ for an Emperor Grade spiritual weapon bow and arrow... Not just that, even without using the Emperor Grade spiritual arrow, I could break it with my own strength."

"After all, it’s just a cow tendon from a Transforming Void Realm ninth level bovine Demon Beast... I hadn’t considered this before."

Thinking this, Wyatt Barnes sighed.

"It looks like, until I find a suitable ’bowstring’ capable of withstanding my full strength for this set of bow and arrow... Let alone an Emperor Grade spiritual weapon bow and arrow, even a quasi-Emperor Grade spiritual weapon bow and arrow can’t be completed."

Now, Wyatt Barnes was very clear on this point.

"Where should I go to find a suitable bowstring?"

Wyatt Barnes felt a bit anxious.

After a while, having recovered his breath, Wyatt Barnes made another trip to Mist Hidden City, searching high and low across the city, yet he couldn’t find any ’tendons’ from a Demon Emperor Realm or higher Demon Beast.

Parts from Demon Beasts above the Demon Emperor Realm were indeed plentiful in Mist Hidden City.

However, ’tendons’ were not something found in every Demon Beast.

Either cow tendon or dragon tendons.

As of now, those seemed to be the only two options.

"Perhaps I should ask Brother Yorke."

At this time, Wyatt Barnes involuntarily thought of Colin Yorke, the Martial Emperor from Cloud Skies Continent who brought him to Mist Hidden Island.

Thinking of Colin Yorke, he then traveled back to ’South Island’.

With his current speed, he soon arrived back at the Mystic Profound Peak, where the group was staying, and immediately went to find Colin Yorke.

"Elder Brother Ling Tian... you... you’ve broken through to the ’Martial Emperor Realm’?"

Upon first seeing Wyatt Barnes, Colin Yorke sensed something different about him and guessed that he had probably advanced to the ’Martial Emperor Realm’.

However, he wasn’t entirely certain.

While he was indeed a ’Martial Emperor Realm four levels and above’ being and could more or less sense whether someone was a ’Martial Emperor’, he couldn’t be one hundred percent sure.

"Congratulations, Elder Brother Ling Tian."

Only after seeing Wyatt Barnes nod did Colin Yorke confirm it and congratulated him.

Wyatt Barnes nodded.

"Elder Brother Ling Tian, I haven’t seen you around recently... where have you been?"

Colin Yorke asked.

In the recent past, he had tried to visit Wyatt Barnes a few times, but had never caught sight of him.

"I’ve been with my two fiancées."

Wyatt Barnes honestly replied.

"Fiancées? Two of them?"

Colin Yorke startled and then was shocked, "Elder Brother Ling Tian, when did you get fiancées? Newly acquainted? People from Mist Hidden Island?"

"No."

Wyatt Barnes shook his head, "They are my childhood sweethearts... I haven’t seen them for a long time, and unexpectedly, we reunited here on Mist Hidden Island."

"Childhood sweethearts?"

Colin Yorke was even more surprised, and at the same time, subtly confirmed something, "Elder Brother Ling Tian... do you mean... your memory has recovered?"

"Yes."

Wyatt Barnes nodded.

"So it seems... you, you were originally from Mist Hidden Island?"

Colin Yorke asked again.

In his view,

Since the two fiancées of Wyatt Barnes from his childhood sweetheart were on Mist Hidden Island, then, including him, he and his two fiancées were most likely from Mist Hidden Island.

As for why Wyatt Barnes had lost his memory, and even appeared on the Cloud Skies Continent, that he did not know.
