Chapter 1009 Orbit Intent & Mystic Abilities

??After accepting the narcissist master, Conner directly took Leroy to a mountain courtyard which was around fifty miles in diameter and filled with dense Qi and lavish scenery.

"This is your personal courtyard from now on." Conner coolly stated, "Here are your resources for this month. I'm also giving you a high-grade-7 bow, Star Plucker, which I used when I was about your age, and it has followed me for hundreds of years before I acquired my current grade-8 bow, Death Bringer. It's my gift to you as my disciple, so you need to treat it well.

"I've also left my personal cultivation method and first three levels of Death Striker Archery Art's Jade Scrolls, which you need to learn from now on to refine your archery.

"The Death Striker Archery Art is my clan's legacy art, and it has six levels. Just mastering the first three levels will take you many years, and at that time, you'll be around the intermediate stage of the Law Awareness Realm.

"Once you master it to a satisfactory level, I'll give you the remaining three levels. But make sure you won't leak this art, or I'll blame you; this is our lineage's core archery art, and many people want it.

"Let's go. I'll show you what the first three levels of Death Archery Striker Art could do and the satisfactory level you need to reach." Conner handed Leroy a white storage ring.

Leroy appeared excited and respectful as he received it, "Thank you, master. I'll never let you down even if it's cost me my life!"

"Good." Conner smiled very pleased with his new disciple's earnest attitude, or he was just pleased about being worshiped by Leroy; no one knows.

Conner then led Leroy to an open field behind the courtyard, it was the training field.

Ace was very curious about Conner's archery as he was the best archer in the Sky Heart Plains, and Ace had never learned archery from anyone before. Everything he knows was self-taught through the memories of many cultivators.

Archery wasn't like Swordplay since it required more discipline and perception. Furthermore, Ace never came in contact with the intent of archery since no one has reached that level in the United mainland, and there were no records of it. Just with this, one could imagine how hard the true archery was.

Conner's bloodline also played a part in his attainment of archery as it was very suitable for him. Despite Leroy's identity as a human, he was still willing to take him under his wing because the archery geniuses were just so rare. Even his own clansmen can't reach his standards despite having the same bloodline, so it wasn't a question of bloodline but talent.

At this moment, Conner turned solemn as he begins to talk, "You might've heard of it that archery is just about hitting the target, in truth everyone underestimates archery as it could easily be blocked or avoided.

"But those bumpkins have never met a true archery master who truly understood the essence of archery. Archery is indeed about hitting the target, but at the same time, it is also about killing the target as quickly as possible. No one understands that to hit the target, there needs to be ample preparations.

"Like Balance and Coordination, Accuracy, Calm and Composure, Precision, Perception of Depth, Arrow Drawing and Handling, Arrow Nocking, and most importantly, taking care of your Bow like it is your limb.

"Once you get these basics down and build a strong foundation through training, you will develop a distinct way of shooting an arrow. Every archer has his own way of shooting an arrow.

"Most archers follow the path of assassin archer, which is to kill a target with a single decisive arrow, but this path is for the weak, and these guys are the ones who have sullied the archery profession.

"I follow the path of a Warrior Archer, a true archer that could fight even without any need to be sneaky or resort to meaningless preparation. A true archer can kill its target even if it's standing right in front of him, fully alert, and you'll be following this path as well. This is the true essence of my Death Striker Archery Art.

"Furthermore, if you manage to comprehend the true essence of Death Striker Archery Art, you will have the chance to awaken the fabled intent of archery, the Orbit Intent.

"I can't teach you a weapon intent since everyone has their own way to awaken it. All I can do is to give you direction. As long as you understand the true law of archery, you will awaken the Orbit Intent.

"Like the other weapon laws, upon cultivating to a higher depth, it can awaken the law intent and then the mystic abilities hidden within that law. The most basic function of a weapon law intent is to increase your weapon's attack prowess.

"But once you have enough experience and a deeper understanding of the Orbit Intent, you will awake the first mystic ability, the ability never to miss a target no matter how far or how well it is hidden.

"With this ability, you can even lock on a target for a very long time, and you can continue to shoot down the target until it dies; this mystic ability of Orbit Intent is called Orbit Lock.

"But there is also another mystic ability of orbit intent, which even I don't know if it really exists or is just a myth. According to the texts of my ancestors, with this mystic ability of the Orbit Intent can also completely bypass any defense or formation and directly hit the target, this realm is known as Overrule Orbit." Conner's eyes were filled with longing as he revealed the overrule orbit mystic ability.

However, Ace was shocked because it was his first time hearing about these mystic abilities of Laws, and he trembled and instantly thought about the Heaven Splitting Sword Secret Cultivation Technique, which he was not able to cultivate since he didn't understand the requirements.

But now, after hearing about the orbit intent and its mystic abilities, it was like the veil had been torn off in front of his eyes. He finally understood that his knowledge was still limited when it came to laws, and just comprehending them was not enough.

He wanted to confirm his conjecture as he respectfully asked with the true attitude of a learner, "Master, these mystic abilities, I've heard when someone reached a profound level of an element law they can shape-shift into the element, does this also count as a mystic ability?"

Conner seemed surprised, and a hint of appreciation flashed past his eyes as he was happy about this deep question, which meant Leroy understood his explanation.

"Yes, the ability to turn into an element is also the first mystic ability of an element law; it's called the Element Divergence, which grants the user the nature of the element. The last lightning beast you killed was using Lightning Divergence, which turned it into a lightning bolt and gave it nature.

"It seemed your law comprehension is not too bad. But element laws and weapons are vastly different. Each weapon has its own unique nature, so it may be easy to comprehend the weapon's intent.

"Even merging the element law and weapon law together is easily before of the weapon intent blank nature. But to understand the mystic abilities of a weapon is ten times different from element laws. The Heaven is fair; it makes the weapon laws easy to understand, but it made the mystic abilities harder to comprehend." Conner sighed with a hint of indignation as if he wasn't happy.

Ace took a deep breath as he finally understood the difference between the inheritance of Sky Heart Plains and the United Mainland. His eyes were truly open today, and he finally understood the true terror of a Law Comprehension Realm powerhouse.

Although he had accepted Conner as his master for ulterior motives and didn't really think of him as his master, now he felt respect towards this old man who was willing to teach him this priceless knowledge or who knows how long it would've taken for him to acquire it on his.

Even though he never gets the chance to use the soul probe on a law comprehension realm expert, he didn't dare to even if he had because these powerhouses have high attainment in-laws so that they might see through it, especially experts like Conner with extremely high soul perception.

Still, he was grateful for Conner and bowed from his heart, "Thank you for clearly my doubts, master!"

Conner felt slightly different from Leroy's tone, which he can't put his finger on at this moment.

But he still feels gratified and warmth in his heart, 'Having a disciple is really not a bad feeling!'
