I Have a Golden Crow-Chapter 803 - 542: Calamity

"Hehe." Beichen Ye couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw the resentful look on Wang Zongying's face.

He smiled at Du Yu and said, "This arrow has an extraordinary quality. It has already reached the Sixth Level·Eternal Diamond grade.

In simpler terms, it's what they call an Emperor Grade·Demon Soldier.

Xiaodu, you should try it out yourself."

"Emperor Grade!" Du Yu's heart was filled with joy.

As expected!

The reward level for the joint exam of the Seven Provinces and One City is truly high~

This means that this arrow is only one step away from becoming a Holy Grade Demon Soldier!

Beichen Ye nodded: "Yes, this arrow was made from a High-Grade Demon Plant·Tribulation Fire Locust Tree.

The tree was about to wither and die, and it reached an agreement with a master artisan to exist in another form.

It's said that the Tribulation Fire Locust exhausted its last life force ahead of time, and together with the master artisan, crafted this arrow within the heart of the ancient locust tree."

"Tribulation Fire Locust." Du Yu caressed the one-meter-long arrow in his hand, filled with emotion.

It's hard to imagine the despair the Tribulation Fire Locust felt at the end of its life.

What kind of feelings did it harbor as it used its own tree heart as material to create such a demon weapon with the human artisan?

It's important to know that the Tribulation Fire Locust was merely a High-Grade·Demon Plant, yet...

The Tribulation Fire Locust dies, and the Emperor Grade Arrow is born!

Of course, credit goes to the human artisan, but the Tribulation Fire Locust itself must have poured its life, efforts, and everything else into this arrow.

It's death, but also rebirth!

Thinking this, Du Yu clenched the Gray Fire Arrow tightly.

If I can nurture you into a Holy Grade·Demon Soldier and take you on the Road to Heaven...

You would carry the heart of the Tribulation Fire Locust and live on forever.

"Phew~" The Gray Arrow in Du Yu's hand suddenly ignited with fierce flames!

Usually low-key, it seemed to sense Du Yu's intentions.

The Gray Fire Arrow responded to Du Yu with utmost intensity in its own way!

The spectacle left the people in the book house clicking their tongues in admiration.

They naturally had no idea what Du Yu had conveyed to the Gray Fire Arrow through the Demon Soul.

But judging from the feedback from this Emperor Grade·Demon Soldier Arrow, it seemed to recognize Du Yu as its master?

"Come!" Du Yu suddenly raised his hand and forcibly pulled out a Flame Hunting Bow from his temple.

The volatile Fire Demon Breath gathered layer upon layer, and the Elemental Demon Soldiers suddenly took shape.

The problem was, the bow made of crimson flame and the arrow shrouded in gray flame didn't match in style at all.

"Show me your skill!" Du Yu, however, was immersed in a certain emotion, ignoring these external factors.

He pinched the semi-transparent gray arrow tail with his fingers, set it on the Flaming Sinew String, and immediately drew the bow.

"Hmm?" Du Yu's eyes narrowed. The bow in his hand had changed in form?

The bow opened like a full moon, the red moon turned into a dark moon!

The gray flames quickly seeped into the red fire bow in Du Yu's hand, altering the color of its flame.

In the blink of an eye, the Emperor Grade·Demon Soldier Arrow was a success.

At this moment, the bow and arrow in Du Yu's hand all transformed into a semi-transparent gray material.

With a uniquely eerie beauty.

"Good!" Du Yu shouted, for an Emperor Grade Arrow, that was how it should be.

"Buzz!" The Demon Soldier Arrow trembled, and the Demon Soldier Array on the arrow also emitted an almost unnoticeable gray light.

Du Yu aimed at the distant wall of tree leaves, released the string from his fingers, and the Demon Soldier Arrow shot out rapidly.

"Wow!" Du Yu's sight pursued the Gray Fire Arrow, unable to suppress a gasp of amazement in his heart.

The solitary arrow suddenly spread out!

It transformed into dozens, even hundreds of arrows!?

"Sizzle~ Sizzle~"

"Sizzle! Sizzle..." The arrows fell like rain, densely packed.

They pierced the wall of tree leaves, into the gaps among the branches, making a series of bizarre stabbing sounds.

Du Yu alone achieved the "arrow rain" effect that only an army of a hundred could!

In fact, he aimed merely at a single leaf on the tree leaf wall,

but the Emperor Grade Arrow filled the area around it, the roof, and the floor with arrows!

More noticeable than the semi-transparent, hidden arrows was the continuous "gray fire sea"!

The scene was quite chilling!

Layer upon layer of gray flame, like the gray mist of cold air in a Bottomless Pit, covered the tree leaf wall...

"Puff~ Puff!"

Then came the sounds of arrows shattering.

And the Gray Fire Bow in Du Yu's hand reverted back to a Crimson Fire Bow.

"How was it, satisfied?" Beichen Ye approached from the side behind Du Yu, and asked.

"Mm!" Du Yu nodded heavily, taking big steps forward.

Crossing the test field, Du Yu found the Gray Fire Arrow still faintly burning on the tree leaf wall.

"Tribulation Fire Locust Tree, Tribulation Fire Arrow." Du Yu murmured, "I have a Demon Soldier Arrow, it's a Holy Grade Demon Soldier, having already set upon the Road to Heaven.

Its name, a single character, Jin (Ashes)."

He said as he drew out the Gray Fire Arrow from the tree leaf wall: "From now on, you'll be called Jie (Tribulation)!"

"Buzz!" The Tribulation Arrow lightly trembled, as if it liked the name very much.

The invisible arrow, the most deadly?

Du Yu grinned, already picturing a scene in his mind.

Alone, with an arrow,

Shooting a sky full of Fire Arrows, driving back thousands of troops!

If the Tribulation Arrow could truly become a Saint...

I wonder if it would become even more concealed?

How many additional arrows will manifest?

What changes will occur to this ordinary gray flame?

Du Yu, filled with anticipation, collected all the rewards and, under the farewells of the others in the study room, drove away from the city's study bureau.

By the time he returned to Prince Du's Mansion, it was already noon.

Du Yu instinctively wanted to make lunch for Master Qing. After entering the kitchen, he remembered that Master Qing was still in a crucial period of cultivation and could not be disturbed.

On reflection, Master Qing had been in this state for many days.

However, when it comes to breaking through the barrier, she always seems just a tiny bit short.

This Demon Taming World is indeed very unfriendly to the Human Race.

After hesitating for a moment, Du Yu still took a bunch of rewards and returned to the Sea Realm.

"Splash~"

The sea waves pounded against the sea reef, splashing waves.

The sea breeze gently blew, bringing a salty scent and a branch of the sea holly.

"Hmm?" Du Yu was taken aback, "Has Master Qing left Shatang Courtyard? Did she succeed?"

Shatang: "No, she failed, failed miserably."

"Failed miserably?" Du Yu's face changed in shock, such a description was enough to see the seriousness of the situation!

He quickly asked, "Where is Master Qing?"

Shatang: "At the shore of Purple Marsh Lake."

"Alright." Du Yu immediately wrapped wind around his feet and hurriedly flew north.

As he passed Shatang Mansion, Du Yu left the Tribulation Arrow, and threw all other rewards to the Firethorn Tree, asking it to help place them in the study of the house.

Before Du Yu even reached the northern sea reef, he saw huge torrents rolling over the distant sea.

Clearly, that was Celestial Cyan Porcelain training Demon Skill.

The words of the Ancient Bull were piercing.

It said that Celestial Cyan Porcelain was very weak, mainly because the strength of the Demon Skill of Celestial Cyan Porcelain had not kept up with her power tier.

Only the Demon Skill·Cyan Porcelain Dragon (Supreme Dragon Transformation) barely caught the eye of the Ancient Bull.

"Sigh..." Du Yu sighed.

How difficult it is to defeat Kui Chou!

After all, Celestial Cyan Porcelain has always been at the Demon Saint Realm, delayed too long by the Purple Abyss Water Drops.

The only advantage Celestial Cyan Porcelain has is having Du Yu, while Kui Chou is just a lone bull. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

But Du Yu really didn't know how to help Qingci in battle.

It should be known, just a single Instantaneous Movement from Kui Chou is enough to make him invincible...

As Du Yu sighed silently, he continued to approached Purple Marsh Lake, where a graceful figure came into view.

On the sea reef, the woman stood with her back to him, looking at the sea meeting the sky.

Her long black hair and light green skirt fluttered gently in the wind.

Even without seeing her expression, just her back alone, Du Yu could feel her disappointment.

Nonetheless, Du Yu actually felt a sense of relief.

At least Master Qing wasn't missing an arm or leg, her awe-inspiring aura was still present.

"Master Qing." Du Yu slowly landed on the sea reef and called softly to the woman standing ahead.

"You're back." The woman did not turn her head, she just spoke faintly, "Everything went smoothly."

"Smoothly, the study room awarded me an Emperor-grade Demon Soldier Arrow." Du Yu opened the silver briefcase and took out the arrow within, "I named it 'Tribulation'."

"Hmm?"

"Tribulation as in disaster." Du Yu walked forward and handed the Tribulation Arrow to the woman's hand.

Yang Qingqing slightly lowered her head, picked up the gray arrow by her side, and gently rubbed the shaft with her fingers.

Du Yu seized the opportunity to say, "Master Qing, I heard from Shatang that..."

"Mm." Yang Qingqing responded softly, handing the Tribulation Arrow back.

Du Yu: "Master Qing, are you well?"

Finally, Yang Qingqing turned her head.

As expected, she saw deep concern on Du Yu's face.

Gradually, her face showed a faint smile, "It's okay, I'll replenish my spirit and gather some strength, and next time I'll succeed in breaking through."

Seeing the woman's reaction, Du Yu felt a bit more at ease.

As a Paper Crane Disciple, he had never encountered a particularly large barrier, so he lacked this kind of hardship experience.

Therefore, he didn't really understand what kind of trauma Yang Qingqing suffered from her breakthrough failure and what kind of pain she endured.

But what Du Yu could be certain of was that the woman had never shown any retreat on the path of cultivation.

She taught Du Yu in this way and also led by example.

Du Yu's heart moved, he looked up at Immortal Master: "Why don't I accompany Master Qing out for a walk?"

"Hmm?" Yang Qingqing's mind conjured up images of Bamboo Grove.

That place is indeed very healing.

However, Du Yu's following words took the woman by surprise: "Master Qing, let's go to Xuena City?"

Yang Qingqing was a bit puzzled and confirmed, "The Third District."

"That's right." Du Yu nodded repeatedly, "I'll accompany Master Qing to kill to her heart's content!

With our hands, one stroke, one blow~"

Du Yu spoke energetically, yet Yang Qingqing's mood was calm, silently watching the eager disciple.

Hmm... Releasing the pent-up anger and resentment in the heart might indeed be a good remedy?

With her constant indulgence in cultivation, it had been a while since she exercised already.

Du Yu murmured softly: "I'll just send the Tribulation Arrow for advanced training at the Ashen Arrow.

Along the way, collect some Evil Snow Rabbits and Evil Earth Pigs in the Icefield Province, to throw into the Mountain Realm and perfect the ecosystem."

Yang Qingqing turned around, looking back at the sea: "You have quite a lot on your plate."

Du Yu hastened to say: "It's mainly for accompanying Master Qing, to unwind and kill, um, Cold Beasts."

"Mm." Yang Qingqing slightly raised the corners of her mouth, softly said, "Then let's go."
