Cultivation Simulator: Shocking the Academy-Chapter 494 - 347: Blowing Sands

"Yes." Luo Chen answered calmly, "I just need you to demonstrate it once. Besides, you’re injured and can’t shoot arrows. Using these branch arrows for demonstration is enough." His tone revealed an undeniable firmness and confidence.

"How do you demonstrate your Yi Arrow Skill?" The White-haired Monk curiously asked, his gaze flicking between Luo Chen and Li Xin.

Luo Chen smiled slightly and pointed to an open space in the distance: "Just shoot at me."

Upon hearing this, Li Xin couldn’t help but sneer: "Aren’t you afraid I’ll shoot you to death?" Her tone carried a hint of provocation.

Luo Chen, holding the Black-Backed Long Saber, retreated several dozen steps, laughing in response: "If you can shoot me to death while being injured, then I accept my fate." His voice was full of confidence and fearlessness.

"Hmph, then be careful!" Li Xin supported herself to stand up, the wound on her arm still faintly aching. She picked up a longbow, placing a branch-carved arrow on the bowstring. However, she didn’t immediately draw the bowstring, but instead quietly stared at Luo Chen, her blue eyes deep as if she wanted to see through his soul.

Under Li Xin’s gaze, Luo Chen remained alert, silently reciting the incantations of the Yi Arrow Skill in his heart, feeling the airflow and energy fluctuations around him. Suddenly, he sensed an extremely dangerous aura approaching, as if being stared at by a fierce predator.

Almost instinctively, Luo Chen’s body suddenly moved sideways, with a "whoosh" sound, a dark shadow brushed past him. It was the arrow shot by Li Xin, but he successfully dodged it.

The desert fell into a dead silence. Li Xin looked at Luo Chen, calm in expression, but a hint of shock flashed in her eyes. She couldn’t imagine that Luo Chen actually managed to avoid her sharp arrow. Meanwhile, Luo Chen’s face was indifferent, as if everything was within his expectations.

"Continue." Luo Chen said blandly, as if inviting Li Xin to try again.

The White-haired Monk watched this scene and couldn’t help but curiously ask: "How is this different from the ’stillness’ of the Soul Power realm you mentioned before?"

Luo Chen’s clear eyes were tightly fixed on the statue-like Li Xin, explaining: "It shares the same marvel as the ’stillness’ of the Soul Power realm. Although the methods differ, they both pursue a perception and reaction ability beyond ordinary people."

The White-haired Monk nodded thoughtfully: "Between heaven and earth, there are countless paths to cultivation, but ultimately they all lead to the same destination. Many cultivation Techniques, although varied in methods, share common principles."

This time, Li Xin had already placed another arrow on the string, her expression more focused, with a firm light flashing in her blue eyes. She knew that this time she must not hold back at all and must go all out to defeat the opponent in front of her.

"Whoosh!" Li Xin’s arrow was released once more, this time faster and stronger, as if it would tear through the air. However, Luo Chen remained calm and composed, twisting his body at an incredible angle, again successfully dodging the arrow’s attack.

"Great skill!" The White-haired Monk praised, his eyes flashing with admiration, "It seems you have grasped the essence of the Yi Arrow Skill."

Luo Chen smiled slightly: "Still far from it, but thanks to Li Xin’s sparring, I’ve gained more practical experience." His gaze at Li Xin was full of gratitude and respect. Li Xin also returned a smile, which was an acknowledgment and respect for a strong person.

"However," Luo Chen’s words took a turn as he looked at the White-haired Monk, "what did you mean when you said the Yi Arrow Skill is only to fool ordinary people?" His tone carried a hint of confusion and dissatisfaction, clearly not understanding the White-haired Monk’s words and feeling somewhat challenged.

The White-haired Monk laughed upon hearing this: "Ha ha, it seems you still don’t understand. Although the Yi Arrow Skill appears extremely miraculous, able to predict opponents’ moves and respond accordingly, it is not omnipotent. For true experts, who have sharper perceptions and faster response abilities, this technique seems somewhat inadequate."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Moreover, the Yi Arrow Skill is actually a kind of trick. It can’t truly enhance your power. Only by solidly training and improving one’s cultivation is the true path of a strong person."
