Dawn of a New Era-Chapter 484 - 458: The New War Bow

This is true flight, not a shortcut relying on the ability of Air Imprisonment.

"I didn’t realize that the power of my will has grown so strong without my noticing!" Chen Shouyi thought to himself.

He weighed nearly 200 kilograms, and to lift his body, at least such strength was required.

Although the current speed is slow and of no use, the potential is entirely incomparable to walking on air by relying on Air Imprisonment. Perhaps it won’t be long before he can move swiftly and agilely in the air like a demigod.

He looked at the curtains and rods that had been pulled down earlier, and with a thought,

a series of dense, short "ripping" sounds occurred.

The whole curtain instantly turned into a pile of fragments, each about the size of a palm.

He picked up a piece from the ground and pondered for a moment, then thought again.

The fragment was instantly shredded into even smaller pieces.

He selected one and continued to pulverize it, this time turning it into countless fibers indiscernible to the naked eye of an ordinary person.

"The smaller the target, the more completely the power of the will is executed? I imagined it being crushed, but the target was too large, and power was insufficient. But if I set a smaller target, it becomes much easier."

Chen Shouyi suddenly thought of Divine Power for some reason.

He knew nothing about Divine Power, but he understood that Divine Power came from Faith, and Faith was the telekinesis of all beings, similar to his own Telekinesis.

"I wonder what the fundamental difference between the two is?"

"Or perhaps they are originally the same force, one coming from all beings, and the other from oneself!" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

He faintly sensed that the will, which now provided little help in battle, might become quite important in the future.

...

Towards evening,

the goods had been delivered via a special plane.

A briefcase, a jewelry box, and a bow case.

"Mr. Chen, please check and sign for them," said the leading officer, giving a salute.

Chen Shouyi quickly checked and found no mistakes, so he signed the document.

After handing it back, he noticed that the soldiers had no intention of leaving and looked at them puzzled, "Is there anything else?"

"Well... Mr. Chen, the War Bow needs to be exchanged one-for-one, so..." the officer’s mouth twitched a bit, and his expression was stiff.

"Oh, my mind! Sorry about that!" Chen Shouyi patted his forehead and "realized" in time.

Looks like I can’t fool them.

I initially thought of keeping it for my collection!

I’ve had this War Bow for quite a long time, and I’m actually a bit reluctant to part with it.

Chen Shouyi had no choice but to return to his bedroom, bring out the bow case he had prepared, and reluctantly handed it over: "Remember to remind the next owner to take good care of it!"

"That’s not our responsibility..." the officer paused, then continued, "If I know, I will."

Perhaps this is a generational legacy, the officer thought to himself.

...

Returning to his bedroom, Chen Shouyi’s regret over returning the old War Bow vanished without a trace.

Out with the old, in with the new.

He solemnly washed his hands in the bathroom.

Returning, he excitedly opened the bow case and assembled the War Bow. Soon, a War Bow filled with a strong sense of technological beauty appeared in his hands. The entire bow was 1.6 meters long, about the same as that 2,000-pound bow.

The bow limbs made of nanofiber were thick and sturdy, indicating strong resilience.

Although industrial capacity had declined, one could not find even a trace of roughness on this bow, clearly showing that a lot of manual labor had been spent on its creation.

He pulled the bowstring with his fingers and drew it back sharply.

Buzz...

The air in the bedroom vibrated slightly.

Ripples appeared in the water in the cup.

He slowly released the bowstring.

"What tremendous force!" Chen Shouyi looked at the War Bow, feeling more delighted the more he looked at it.

The key is that it’s brand new, unlike before when he always used second-hand ones.

He looked at the time and found it was already four o’clock, deciding to cancel the plan to test it in the wild and wait until tomorrow.

"Oh right, I was busy checking the War Bow and almost forgot about the Lucky Gem."

He set down the War Bow and took out the Lucky Gem from the jewelry box.

Holding the gem in his hand, he felt a vague, indescribable sensation, though upon careful search, it seemed as if there was nothing.

This was a red, crystalline gem in a diamond shape, radiating a mesmerizing glow on its surface under the light. It was unclear whether it had been processed or if it was naturally so.

"I wonder if it’s useful?" Chen Shouyi murmured to himself,

"Can it really improve archery accuracy?"

He took the high-strength fiber rope given as a gift, pierced a hole and hung it around his neck.

...

The next day, in the desert of another world.

"Whew!"

Chen Shouyi stood in front of the Gobi Desert, wearing only underwear, drenched in sweat, his skin flushed red, with a misty energy enveloping his body, and the air seemed to distort as if under high temperature.

After more than ten minutes, he stopped practicing.

He took out a towel from the Book of Knowledge Space to wipe off the sweat.

Since the Book of Knowledge Space became tangible, everything has become much more convenient.

He now kept a supply of basic living necessities in the space.

Especially clothes and underwear.

He had placed more than a dozen sets.

In the future, he would probably never have to awkwardly search for clothes to wear after a battle, even grabbing clothes from corpses. He could just take them out from the Space.

He checked the attribute panel.

Strength: 18.3

Agility: 18.2

Constitution: 18.2

Intelligence: 18.0

Perception: 16.4

Will: 17.1

Energy Accumulation: 19.4

Faith Value: 50.5

He had a slight smile on his face: "There’s finally been a change, Strength increased by 0.1."

After reaching Legendary, even with an unlimited supply of demigod flesh, the rate of progress slowed, making every 0.1 point increase extremely precious.

Then he looked at the Faith Value, which had returned to fifty points,

He estimated in his mind, from four o’clock the day before yesterday until now, it had increased by a total of fifteen points,

"About 7 points a day."

But this was clearly temporary.

His believers had just recently gathered and could not be said to be devout. The vast majority were shallow believers or pseudobelievers, forced by circumstances to convert, which would take time to digest.

Once everything stabilized, he estimated it could bring fifty points of Faith Value each day.

After warming up and giving his body a slight recovery, he eagerly took out the War Bow and a box of arrows from the space and began testing the new War Bow.

...

In the barren Gobi Desert, the light breeze was blowing,

suddenly with a "boom" that sounded like firecrackers exploding.

A circle of shockwaves rippled outward.

A flash of black light skimmed the ground, raising a long trail of dust and hitting Hollow Mountain in an instant, sending fragments flying and forming a small pit nearly 30 centimeters wide on the surface.

"What power!" Chen Shouyi was amazed as he looked at the small pit in the distance.

He then quickly fired continuously, creating an unceasing cacophony of booms.

The pit quickly deepened and expanded, shrouded in drifting smoke.

Chen Shouyi shot all the arrows in one quiver before stopping.

As the dust was gradually blown away, a three-meter deep, half-meter wide pit appeared in sight.
