This was...
His golden finger?!
Lin Feng's face froze in an instant!
A transmigrator's golden finger was never absent, after all!
Lin Feng had been worrying about how he'd survive the demon hunt three days from now with his amateurish archery.
Then his golden finger had appeared.
It was like getting a pillow just as sleepiness struck!
Lin Feng carefully studied the panel before him.
He ignored the Name and Cultivation columns.
His gaze fixed on the Skills column.
Archery lv1. That should be his current archery proficiency level. Just level one—pitifully low!
The (0/100) after it should be... proficiency?!
Lin Feng's eyes flickered as he thought it over.
If he was right, then raising his proficiency would level up his Archery!
But how could he raise his proficiency?
He pondered for a moment.
Holding his bow, Lin Feng drew it back in the air.
The bowstring snapped with a twang.
Then Lin Feng stared intently at the proficiency on the panel.
Sure enough, just as he'd expected!
Archery lv1 (0/100) had changed to Archery lv1 (1/100)!
His proficiency had gone up by one point!
Lin Feng's face lit up!
Simply drawing the bow in the air raised his proficiency by one point?
Then how much would shooting an arrow raise it?!
Suppressing his excitement, Lin Feng immediately picked up his quiver and counted the arrows inside.
He slung his bow and arrows over his back and headed off.
There were many buildings inside the Demon Suppression Division.
There was the Scripture Pavilion, where people learned martial arts techniques, and the Training Ground, where they honed their skills.
Lin Feng was heading for the Training Ground.
There, he could shoot to his heart's content and raise his proficiency!
Demon Suppression Division, Training Ground.
The Training Ground stood in a highly visible location.
Nine bronze Soul Suppressing Lanterns hung high above the center of the grounds, giving the place a grim atmosphere.
It was said that the lanterns burned the blood essence of Xiantian Realm Demons, to deter troublemakers.
Lin Feng arrived at the Training Ground and looked around. The place was bustling with noise.
Countless Demon Suppression Guards were training.
Some guards battered their bodies with Meteor Hammers, practicing the Body Tempering Technique to better withstand demon attacks.
Others held greatswords forged from refined iron and swung them. Every stroke cut through the air with a sharp whistle as they practiced their swordsmanship.
Demons had incredibly tough defenses. Beheading one with a single stroke was extremely difficult and required exceptional swordsmanship.
Aside from tempering their bodies and practicing swordsmanship, some Demon Suppression Guards were training in lightness skills, swordplay, and more.
The Demon Suppression Division's martial arts legacy came from the Great Qin Dynasty. Many of its techniques would be worth a fortune outside the division.
That was why so many people fought tooth and nail to get into the Demon Suppression Division.
Lin Feng's gaze swept across the grounds before settling on the southwest corner.
Arrows littered the ground there, and many Demon Suppression Guards were drawing their bows and shooting.
This was the Archery Range.
Lin Feng hurried over.
As soon as he arrived, he saw a Demon Suppression Guard draw his bow into a full moon.
With a snap, the arrow flew—and struck the bull's-eye.
Many Demon Suppression Guards watched from nearby. When the arrow hit, several cheers rang out.
"Excellent!"
"Sergeant Zhang's archery keeps getting better. He hit the bull's-eye from seventy paces!"
"Sergeant Zhang is so young, yet his Archery has already reached such heights. Demons would be scared witless if they saw him!"
Not far away, Lin Feng watched the scene.
He couldn't help longing for the same skill. If he could master Sergeant Zhang's Archery, his chances of surviving the demon hunt would rise dramatically!
Then Lin Feng put those thoughts aside.
His top priority was to raise his proficiency as quickly as possible and level up his Archery to lv2!
Then he could see just how much better he'd become. Would he surpass Sergeant Zhang?
Lin Feng found an unoccupied target and stopped thirty paces away.
He opened his quiver, took out an arrow, set it on the bow, and fired.
The arrow whooshed out, but fell to the ground halfway there.
The bow had been specially made for the Demon Suppression Division. Only someone with immense strength could draw it.
At Body Tempering Triple Layer, Lin Feng could draw it only a third of the way, so his arrows could travel only a very short distance.
But Lin Feng didn't care.
His eyes stayed fixed on the panel before him.
Archery lv1 (1/100) had changed to Archery lv1 (4/100)!
Shooting an arrow raised his proficiency by three points—far more than drawing the bow in the air!
A pleased smile spread across Lin Feng's face.
At this rate, he only needed to shoot thirty-two more arrows to level up!
Lin Feng's gaze grew resolute.
He kept taking out arrows and shooting at the target, enjoying himself immensely.
Proficiency +3 +3 +3 +3...
His proficiency soared, and Lin Feng moved faster and faster. All he could think about was maxing it out and seeing what would happen when his Archery leveled up.
Lin Feng kept shooting, but not a single arrow hit the target. The older Demon Suppression Guards nearby began to notice.
Seeing him shoot one arrow after another without hitting anything, several of them shook their heads.
They were all veteran Demon Suppression Guards who had been through several demon hunts.
Among them was Sergeant Zhang, who had just earned the crowd's cheers.
"Thirty paces, and not one hit? His Archery is awful!"
"Looks like a new recruit trying to cram at the last minute. With Archery like that, he'll die the moment he faces a demon!"
"He's nowhere near Sergeant Zhang's level."
Some of the old hands in the Demon Suppression Division looked at Lin Feng with pity.
In their eyes, he would soon be nothing but a corpse.
With Archery that pathetic, he was walking meat to the demons.
Sergeant Zhang smiled faintly. The crowd's flattery soothed him.
He paid no attention to Lin Feng and focused on his own shooting.
Over on Lin Feng's side, he suddenly stopped and panted lightly.
At Body Tempering Triple Layer, drawing the bow over and over took a considerable toll on his strength.
"One last arrow, and my Archery will level up!"
Lin Feng shifted his gaze to the panel before him.
He was just one step away from leveling up. Gritting his teeth, he nocked another arrow.
He poured all his strength into shooting at the target.
The moment he released the arrow, the panel before Lin Feng suddenly changed!
Name: Lin Feng Cultivation: Body Tempering Triple Layer Skills: Archery lv2 (0/1000) Talent: Infallible Shot
A new talent, Infallible Shot, had appeared in the Talent column?
Lin Feng's thoughts stirred, and an explanation of Infallible Shot immediately appeared before him.
Infallible Shot: Within shooting range, every shot hits its mark!
Lin Feng was shaken to the core!
This talent was incredible.
It was practically a godlike, reality-bending skill.
As long as he fired within range, he was guaranteed to hit. In actual combat, that would be deadly!
Then Lin Feng picked up another arrow, ready to shoot and see how his aim had changed.
But as soon as he nocked it, he let out a surprised gasp.
That was because drawing the bow had become effortless!
Before, he'd had to use all his strength just to draw it a third of the way.
Now, with only a little effort, he could draw the bow into a half moon.
His strength had also increased tremendously!
