Chapter 459: Chapter 447: An Arrow with a Thousandfold Power!
Chen Fan looked at the skill bar.
[Heaven-Burning Arrow Technique: Perfection (not upgradeable), Traits: Solid as a Rock Level 5, Strength of a Tiger Level 5, Blazing Fire Arrow Level 3, Heaven-Burning Arrow Level 1]
Four traits.
The first two traits, as seen from their levels, were clearly unlocked right at the beginner’s level.
Solid as a Rock, each level increases Physical Attribute by 3000 points, Level 5 Solid as a Rock equals 15000 points.
The last one, Strength of a Tiger.
Chen Fan thought to himself.
Power of One Dragon is 125,000 pounds.
And Great Strength is similar, 108,000 pounds.
Strength of a Tiger should be 54,000 pounds.
This means, Level 1 Strength of a Tiger can increase Strength Attribute by 5400 points.
He checked and indeed, it was just as expected.
"As expected of unparalleled archery, the increase in Strength Attribute is massive."
Chen Fan sighed to himself.
With this, Level 5 Strength of a Tiger can increase Strength Attribute by 27,000 points, which is twice the increase in Physical Attribute.
His gaze fell on the last two traits.
A bit nervous.
[Blazing Fire Arrow: Active Skill, upon activation, each arrow consumes one million True Qi points, forming a sea of fire within a range of one hundred meters upon hitting the target,
Up to three arrows can be shot simultaneously, and the arrows can converge to form the same fire sea, with the power stacking, or disperse to form different fire seas, expanding the burning area,
Each skill level increases the number of arrows by one, with the fire area’s radius doubling; note, for each additional doubling of the fire sea’s radius, True Qi consumption also doubles]
"As expected, this is indeed a group attack skill, and unexpectedly strong."
Chen Fan’s eyes lit up.
With just one glance at the name, he knew this was a group attack skill.
However, he hadn’t expected the skill to become very flexible with the variation in the number of arrows.
Level 1 Blazing Fire Arrow, each arrow consumes one million True Qi points, up to three arrows simultaneously.
In terms of power, given the million True Qi points consumption, it should be close to the power of the Hundredfold Sun-Shooting Arrow.
But because one is single-target damage and the other is group attack, the burst damage from the latter definitely cannot compare to the former.
Though they shouldn’t differ too much, it should have at least half the effect, equating to five to six times the power of a normal arrow.
Once the fire sea is formed, it can cause sustained damage.
This aspect is unmatched by the Hundredfold Sun-Shooting Arrow.
But what if three arrows converge?
Both the instantaneous burst power and sustained damage from the fire sea would increase threefold!
At this point, the Hundredfold Sun-Shooting Arrow is no longer comparable.
When Blazing Fire Arrow reaches Level 3, it can shoot five arrows simultaneously, bringing about a qualitative change.
First, the radius reaches 300 meters.
Compared to Level 1’s radius, it has increased threefold.
Although the single arrow’s power hasn’t increased, having more arrows converge increases the combined power by nearly a factor.
Of course, the True Qi consumption has greatly increased, from each arrow consuming one million True Qi points to three million.
Five arrows shot together would consume fifteen million True Qi points!
Whereas he currently has only over seven million True Qi points within his body, obviously unable to use the full power of this move.
"Fortunately, the fire sea area can be controlled."
Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief.
If forming a fire sea within a hundred meters radius, each arrow’s True Qi consumption remains one million points.
If the diameter doubles, each arrow’s consumption would increase to two million points.
If it further doubles, then each arrow would consume three million points.
Therefore, he can still control the fire sea area within a hundred meters and shoot five arrows simultaneously.
The power would be nearly three times that of the Hundredfold Sun-Shooting Arrow!
Chen Fan looked at the last trait.
A bit frustrated.
He sensed that despite this Heaven-Burning Arrow secret skill’s immense power, it’s likely useless to him right now.
The reason is simple, True Qi.
With over seven million True Qi points in conversion, he can’t fully utilize the Blazing Fire Arrow’s power.
As a trait unlocked at the Perfection Realm of the Heaven-Burning Arrow Technique, the consumption would hardly be low.
[Heaven-Burning Arrow: Active Skill, upon activation, consumes fifteen million True Qi points to shoot an arrow with a thousandfold power; each skill level increases True Qi consumption by one fold, and arrow power by one fold]
"Fifteen million points."
Chen Fan drew a sharp breath.
He thought ten million True Qi points would suffice.
The result surpassed his expectation by half...
"Fifteen million points."
Chen Fan thought, even with his Sea of Qi filled, it’d be only twelve million True Qi points.
Three million points short of shooting this arrow!
What concept is this?
He had mastered all Martial Arts below Supreme to Perfection or even beyond.
In the same realm, his True Essence surpassed others countless times.
Yet, even so, he couldn’t use the Heaven-Burning Arrow.
This invoked a question within his mind.
Is this Heaven-Burning Arrow Technique truly meant for True Essence Realm martial artists?
Maybe only Celestial Human Realm martial artists, borrowing Heaven and Earth’s power, could utilize this arrow secret skill.
"Even if I break into Celestial Human Realm, I might only use this arrow at the Second Realm of True Essence, and greatly exhaust my True Qi."
Chen Fan thought.
The key is, the technique can continue to be upgraded.
Eventually, each arrow’s True Qi consumption might reach thirty million points...
"Forget it, now is not the time to ponder these, let’s focus on dealing with the werewolf before us."
Chen Fan lifted his head, locking eyes with the latter.
Despite appearing to have wasted much time.
In fact, from adding points to understanding the technique’s usage, it was merely an instant.
John’s eyes were filled with contempt.
His werewolf transformation period was limited too.
After each transformation, substantial food intake was required.
But, in his eyes, dealing with this guy wouldn’t take a minute; he didn’t immediately act.
Partly to show off his power to the surrounding people.
Additionally.
He opened his bloodthirsty mouth and said:
"Boy, hand over your belongings, and I might spare your lives due to my good mood."
This remark surprised many Feng Country people.
"But, Lord John, he killed Qiao and the others."
"Yes, Lord John, he also crippled Kevin’s arm, how can we spare them?"
"Lord John!"
Kevin shouted as well.
Are you kidding? These Yan country people harmed him badly, and now they should be let go after handing their belongings?
How could it be that easy?
"Shut it!"
John roared, causing a tempest, forcing Kevin and others to close their eyes.
"Do I need you to point fingers at my actions?"
His bloodthirsty eyes overlooked the group.
Who immediately fell silent, fearing to speak.
Had they not been immobilized, they’d probably collapse by now.
"These fools."
Song Gang coldly watched.
Someone with brains could see John was tricking them; complying would hasten their deaths.
Yet this bunch failed to see it and kept whining.
If John were him, he’d likely feel the urge to kill them.
"You’ve heard what I said, right? What do you think?"
John glanced at his claws and laughed, "If you don’t comply, you might suffer."
"You won’t get the chance."
Chen Fan replied, producing four more arrows.
This scene puzzled Shen Si and others.
Brother Chen is? Preparing to shoot five arrows at once?
John laughed loudly.
"Boy, I’m right here, let’s see if you can kill me!"
He indeed lost some sanity after transforming, becoming brutal.
Yet more importantly, he underestimated Chen Fan.
Assuming those arrows couldn’t harm, let alone kill him.
Chen Fan kept silent, swiftly nocking five arrows onto the bowstring.
His aura drastically changed this moment.
Immense True Essence from the Sea of Qi wildly poured into the arrows.
At that moment, the arrows seemed ablaze, encased in intense red True Qi.
"That’s?"
Song Gang’s eyes widened.
"Heaven-Burning Arrow Technique?"
Song Family had thousands of years of history, keeping martial arts classics rivaling the Awakened Association.
Some Supreme and Divine Demon-level martial arts were absent in the Association’s collection.
Only the Heaven-Burning Arrow Technique stood out as an unparalleled martial art, naturally kept by the Song Family. Song Gang had studied it.
Thus, he recognized it at a glance.
His shocked face revealed his stunned inner state.
Heaven-Burning Arrow Technique includes a secret skill called Blazing Fire Arrow; it’s rumored to shoot five arrows simultaneously upon reaching Perfection.
Regrettably, due to its age, the complete Heaven-Burning Arrow Technique was lost, with only a tenth of it preserved by the Song Family.
Hence, mastering this technique was impossible.
Moreover, reaching Perfection to shoot five Blazing Fire Arrows simultaneously was unheard of.
