Close your eyes and become the strongest adventurer

Chapter 39 Learning Skills and Assessment
Immediately, the forest where Xuan Yuan was located began to melt.

The huge trees, like candles touched by flames, gradually flow down and blend into the ground.

The land also gradually faded its color, turning into fluffy and soft white clouds.

When the giant tree blocking the line of sight disappears.

It was only then that Xuan Yuan realized that what he was standing on was not the ground, but the clouds above thousands of miles high.

Surrounded by endless blue sky, floating islands made of white clouds are scattered everywhere. The center surrounded by these cloud islands is an extremely magnificent floating castle.

Just as Xuan Yuan was staring curiously at the white clouds under his feet, he tried to step on and pull them.

In the floating castle, a high-speed flying rainbow suddenly ejected.

Rainbow across a wonderful curve.

In an instant, it landed on Baiyun Island where Xuanyuan was located.

When the colorful light dissipated, it was a blond beauty with a golden longbow in her hand, wearing a pure white robe with gold trim, with a high chest, revealing a pair of plump and slender legs.

She has a peaceful complexion, with a faint golden halo on her back, she looks like a god.

The woman spoke with a soft and clear voice:

"Congratulations on successfully passing the test of the Archers Association. From now on, you are a trainee archer."

"I'm a guide for newcomers, you can call me Isabella."

"Give me your talent card."

Xuan Yuan handed over the talent card, and the other party took out a square black stone from nowhere, and inserted Xuan Yuan's talent card with a sleeve into it.

After a while, she took out the talent card and returned it to Xuan Yuan.

"The talent card has imprinted your profession."

Xuan Yuan took the talent card, and found that his talent card was on the sleeve, and there was an extra opening, and there was an extra column on the card, showing his occupation.

【Name: Xuan Yuan】

【Age: 18 years old】

【———————】

[Occupation: Trainee Archer]

Isabella explained:
"Now you are just an apprentice archer, after you learn all the skills of an apprentice archer."

"The occupation column will become an archer, and the name will change accordingly with the subsequent growth direction you choose."

"Now, imitate my actions and open the skill light curtain."

Isabella swiped down in the void and pulled out a light curtain out of thin air.

Xuan Yuan followed suit.

Sure enough, a light curtain was drawn in front of him.

On the light curtain, five skill names are displayed, namely:
[Powerful Arrow], [Double Arrow], [Tracking Arrow], [Repelling Arrow], [Acceleration Arrow].

"You must complete all the apprentice skills before you can become an official archer."

"Skill acquisition is difficult and time-consuming. Personally, I suggest that you take [Accelerating Arrow] as the last skill to learn, because it is the most difficult."

After all, he raised his finger and pointed at the floating castle:
"Before you become an official archer, you cannot enter the archer guild in the floating city."

"So, when you come to the Archers Guild in the future, you will only appear on this cloud island."

"Open the light curtain, and you can choose the skill you want to learn."

"With it, you can set up different shooting ranges for training, but you will be charged according to the usage time."

"Now, you can freely choose skills."

Xuan Yuan carefully checked the descriptions of the five skills in the light curtain, and became thoughtful.

After completing the assessment of the Archers Guild.

Xuan Yuan has no shortage of normal archery accuracy.

[Tracking Arrow] No need for now.

[Double Arrow] It is not urgently needed at the moment.

[Repulse Arrow] See the description and it is related to self-protection ability.

Xuanyuan felt that with [Automatic Guide], his self-protection ability was already very strong.

What is lacking most now is the attack power under normal conditions.

If the arrows you shoot can't break through the defenses of the monsters in the dungeon, it's useless to shoot them accurately.

[Powerful Arrow]: Shoot an arrow whose power reaches the limit of the body.

This skill is the most suitable for me now.

Try to click [Powerful Arrow], the light screen displays:
"Please pay 1 Jinnar"

Xuan Yuan was taken aback, learning skills is so expensive?

In any case, the money that should be spent still has to be spent.

Seeing Xuan Yuan open the purse, Isabella said thoughtfully:

"Put the money directly into the light curtain."

Xuan Yuan counted out a hundred silver Gnars and threw them all into the light curtain.

The silver coin was swallowed by the light curtain.

He lowered his head and glanced at the shriveled money bag.

Xuan Yuan couldn't help feeling in his heart:
Making money is like scooping water, and spending money is like running water.

The white clouds under the feet changed, and a shooting target with a distance of about 10 meters was formed on the island.

White clouds slowly spread out from the ground, wrapped around Xuan Yuan's body, and drove his body to draw the bow and set the arrow.

Isabella took two steps closer, and there was a faint charming fragrance:

"Relax your body and don't resist."

Controlling Xuan Yuan, Bai Yun pulled the bowstring in his hand behind the full moon, and instead of releasing it immediately, he kept his posture still.

At this time, Xuan Yuan clearly felt that Isabella seemed to be standing behind him, putting one hand on his back.

Just when Xuan Yuan felt strange, Isabella reminded:

"Relax your body and focus on feeling it."

In an instant, Xuan Yuan felt his body was covered by a strange vibration frequency.

All the thoughts in my mind fell into a stillness and blankness at this moment.

A brief moment of thoughtlessness.

Xuan Yuan was manipulated by Bai Yun, and shot an arrow at the bull's-eye.

He only felt that there was an inexplicable something flowing out of his body and attached to the arrow.

The arrow shot from the bowstring also instantly turned into a white light, piercing through the target 10 meters away, blasting it on the spot, and shattering it into several large pieces.

can feel it.

Isabella has withdrawn her hand from his back.

Xuan Yuan lowered his long bow slowly, looking at the destructive power caused by this arrow, he couldn't help being a little dumbfounded.

As expected of the ultimate destructive power, this was the first time he shot a target in the shooting range on the spot.

The strength of these targets is not low, and the recovery speed is also super fast.

have to say.

After the arrow is shot, it feels very good to shoot the target on the spot.

It is a bit similar to the dynamic sound feedback after killing the enemy when Xuan Yuan played gun games in his previous life.

When an arrow is shot, there is a sense of explosion and bursting.

It is completely different from the feeling of hitting the target dryly with an arrow.

The amazing thing is that with Xuanyuan's current muscle strength, it is impossible to exert such a powerful force.

After shooting this arrow, he didn't feel any discomfort in his body, but his arms were a little sore, like the slight fatigue after shooting more than a dozen arrows in a row.

Just as Xuan Yuan was immersed in that wonderful feeling.

Isabella interrupted him:

"Now, your body has learned 【Powerful Arrow】."

"All you need to do is to keep trying, and then shoot that arrow completely by yourself."

After all, Isabella paused and said:
"In short, if you want to successfully shoot [Powerful Arrow], the trick is to capture the moment of no thought in your mind at the moment of shooting the arrow."

"Because your body has learned to release the energy frequency of [Powerful Arrow]."

"Next, when you shoot the arrow, try to catch the moment of no thought, then you can instantly activate your body and release a [Powerful Arrow]."

"If you want to do this, you have to learn to try to perceive the thoughts in your mind, and then you have to seize the moment when the thoughts rise and fall, and escape into that blank space."

Having said that, Isabella glanced at Xuan Yuan and couldn't help but smile:

"never mind."

"Tell you too much, but it will confuse you."

"A lot of people actually don't even know what's going on in their minds every moment."

"If you are also like this, it is best to try to practice observation first, starting from objectively knowing the various thoughts swimming in your mind, and trying to perceive them clearly."

Xuan Yuan nodded.

Isabella continued:
"Remember, [Powerful Arrow] try not to release it continuously, continuous use can easily strain the muscles."

"The next release interval depends on how fast your muscles recover."

"At the beginning of learning new skills, don't be impatient. It is conservatively estimated that you will have to practice at least a thousand arrows before you can barely find a little feeling, and you can release it successfully from time to time."

"When you practice about [-] arrows, you should be able to barely get started."

"In short, capturing the momentary gap between thoughts is very abstract."

"Slower or faster will not work, you must just grasp that gap and let the consciousness escape into it, so that you can enter the state of no-mind for a short time."

"A lot of people don't understand or even realize what's going on in their head at first."

"Either completely ignore the thoughts in my mind, or have the thoughts of 'I am in a state of no-mind', 'I am about to enter no-mind', 'I am already no-mind' without knowing it."

"These are all huge misunderstandings."

"They inadvertently reinforce thoughts they don't know they have, and when they do, they can lead to schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive thoughts, and even mental problems."

"You have to be careful about this."

"In conclusion, the training techniques for the field of consciousness are very subtle."

"In many places, I can't even convey it to you in words, so you should try your best to understand it!"

"Practice slowly here alone first."

"I'm going back first."

"The next time you want to learn any new skills, you can directly select and pay on the light curtain to learn, and you don't need me to guide you."

Hearing this, Xuan Yuan opened his mouth vigorously, and replied a little dullly:
"thanks."

Haven't spoken for a month.

Xuan Yuan felt that his language nerves were a little dull, and he didn't want to talk much.

Maybe, it will take a few days to recover.

Seeing this, Isabella has long been used to it.

Nodding his head, he turned into a beam of colored light and returned to the floating castle.

Isabella just left here.

Xuan Yuan recalled just now.

Turn around, take the bow and draw the arrow, and aim at the target.

A white light came out of his hand, and an arrow shot the target in the distance.

After resting for 1 minute, Xuan Yuan shot another arrow and easily exploded the target again.

Try shortening it to 30 seconds.

Concentrating and holding his breath, another shot of white light exploded the recovered archery target.

Holding a longbow, Xuan Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

He has figured out that the safe interval for using [Powerful Arrow] is about 30 seconds.

Keep shortening the intervals and the muscles will become overwhelmed.

Now that you have learned [Powerful Arrow], there is no need to stay any longer, hurry up and go to the dungeon to try it out.

Call out the light curtain, click to leave.

On the other side, Isabella returned to the floating castle in the form of colored light.

She walked into the office and sat down on a chair.

Turning on the monitor, I happened to see Xuan Yuan summoning the light curtain and preparing to leave.

Seeing this, Isabella couldn't help but sigh:

"The newcomers this time, have too little patience."

"Originally, the foundation of archery is poor, and the talent is not good. I thought the willpower was not bad."

"Just learned a new skill, and I haven't even practiced a hundred arrows, so I can't wait to go out and relax?"

"Sure enough, they are civilians, and the upper limit is just like that."

In her opinion.

Xuan Yuan had just passed the archer test, and he was already lax.

It shows that the opponent's willpower has already reached the limit in the test.

He belonged to the category of trying to pass the test, and the other party's personal talent was only gray, and he was not a nobleman.

Then he dug out Xuanyuan's personal information, and left a label of [Inferior] on the other party's comprehensive evaluation column.

Just turned around and got busy with other things.
