At this moment, Lin Feng held a one-stone bow in his hand, with roughly fifty arrows left in his quiver. Just then, the system notification suddenly sounded.
[Ding! System detected that the host is holding a bow and arrow and is within a battle scenario. A tailored martial technique has been generated for the host—Soul-Chasing Archery.]
[Would the host like to use the system’s “Enjoy First, Pay Later” feature?]
Hearing the system’s voice, Lin Feng twitched the corner of his mouth again. He couldn’t help but feel the system was acting like a loan shark—once it lent something, it became addicted.
But it didn’t seem like Lin Feng had a choice.
He could only look at the technique description on the system interface.
[Soul-Chasing Archery: At minor mastery, it pierces armor and chest for triple kills; at full mastery, every arrow causes complete bodily explosion—no corpse remains!]
That level of lethality made Lin Feng’s eyes light up instantly. Without hesitation, he chose “Enjoy First, Pay Later” and had the system elevate the proficiency of Soul-Chasing Archery to the minor mastery stage.
[Ding! Congratulations to host for using Enjoy First, Pay Later. Soul-Chasing Archery has reached minor mastery.]
[Ding! Friendly reminder: Host has exchanged for Soul-Chasing Archery using Enjoy First, Pay Later and advanced it to minor mastery. Total cost: 4,000 Slaughter Points in interest.]
[Please continue the good work!]
One system notification followed another.
Now, Lin Feng’s total debt to the system had reached 137,500 Slaughter Points—only a step away from hitting 140,000.
“Heh.” Lin Feng let out a cold chuckle and glared at the system panel in front of him, gritting his teeth. “What a bloodsucker, never-ending! What’s the most important thing between people?”
“Trust!”
“And you even charge interest—where’s the trust?!”
But with the battle just about to erupt, Lin Feng didn’t bother arguing with the system any further.
The next moment, a surge of vast knowledge flooded into his mind.
Instantly, Lin Feng felt as if he could see himself in the military camp, training frantically with the Soul-Chasing Archery technique—again and again, ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times.
Eventually, the technique reached minor mastery.
With one arrow, he pierced through armor and chest, killing three lightly-armored enemy soldiers in one shot.
When he came back to his senses, Lin Feng gripped his one-stone bow, which had a trace of black iron mixed in. The feel in his hands was completely different than before.
It felt like he and this bow had trained together for a long time, perfectly in sync.
He could sense every groove on the bow’s body as if they were etched into his own flesh. He casually plucked the bowstring, and the “twang, twang” sound echoed in the air.
To Lin Feng’s ears, that sound was far more beautiful than any system notification.
It was the sound of power—a sign of strength.
Additionally, the keen perception of a 3rd grade martial artist let Lin Feng feel subtle changes in the structure of his shoulders and arm bones, as if his arms were born for archery.
“If this is only minor mastery, what would full mastery be like?”
A subtle smile tugged at Lin Feng’s lips. Then, his gaze turned almost ravenous as he stared at the A-rank elite Blood Wolf Army a hundred meters away. His eyes surged with fierce fighting spirit… Find the original chapter at g.com.
“Woooo~!”
The horn for the charge blared. The Blood Wolf Army began their assault. The siege had officially begun.
Thousands of Blood Wolf soldiers rushed toward the base of the city walls.
On the wall, Lin Feng and the other defenders held their breath, ready for battle.
Especially Lin Feng and the archers—the bowstrings were fully drawn, arrows nocked on longbows, arrowheads gleaming coldly, all aimed at the advancing Blood Wolf soldiers outside the city walls.
They were getting closer…
Five hundred steps… three hundred… two hundred…
As the enemy reached one hundred steps, Garrison General Pan Feng narrowed his eyes and suddenly roared, “Fire!”
At his command, the soldiers let go. Arrows flew like locusts, covering the sky as they rained down upon the enemy.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh”—the sound of arrows tearing through the air filled the battlefield.
Some arrows hit the light armor of the Blood Wolf soldiers and bounced off.
Some lucky ones struck their faces directly.
But most were blocked or deflected by these elite troops.
Under the first volley of arrows, only a few kills were made.
And Lin Feng was clearly one of the top performers.
He drew his bow and released, over and over.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh”—as the air split again and again, enemies within a hundred paces of the eastern wall, where Lin Feng was stationed, fell like wheat before a scythe under his Soul-Chasing Archery.
At the same time, system prompts kept ringing in his ears like crazy.
[Ding! Congratulations to host for killing a Northern Barbarian A-rank elite Blood Wolf soldier, combat strength 2nd grade martial artist. Slaughter Points +200.]
[Ding! Congratulations to host for killing a Northern Barbarian A-rank elite Blood Wolf soldier, combat strength 2nd grade martial artist. Slaughter Points +200.]
[Ding! Congratulations to host for killing a Northern Barbarian A-rank elite Blood Wolf soldier…]
…
Unfortunately, Lin Feng alone couldn’t turn the tide of battle.
Very soon, many of the Blood Wolf Army’s vanguard forces reached the base of the wall. Cloud ladders were quickly brought in and set up against the city wall.
The vanguard soldiers charged forward madly, wave after wave.
“Aaahhh!”
Screams of agony echoed endlessly.
At the city gate, the battering ram struck again and again, “BOOM BOOM BOOM”, hammering both the gates and the defenders’ mental defenses.
Meanwhile, the Blood Wolf Army’s catapults had also taken position. Huge boulders were hurled into the sky and crashed down both inside and outside the city walls.
Some even smashed directly into the wall, leaving visible indentations and striking fear into the hearts of those watching.
But more terrifying than the siege weapons were the Blood Wolf Army’s archers under the wall.
They stood steadily on the backs of wolves, as if walking on level ground, firing arrows directly at the defenders on the wall.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh”—arrows gleamed coldly as they flew.
In the instant the battle began, no one knew how many defenders of Yan Pass had already fallen. The already shaky morale was beginning to waver again.
“Brother Feng, can we really hold the wall?” Jiang Yi asked fearfully.
“Just follow me.”
Lin Feng didn’t look away as he pulled an arrow from his quiver, nocked it, and drew the bowstring into a perfect crescent.
The technique of Soul-Chasing Archery flashed through his mind.
In the next instant, the bowstring snapped with a loud “twang.” The soul-chasing arrow shot toward a distant Blood Wolf archer.
“Shhhk!”
One arrow pierced through armor and chest—taking out three Blood Wolf archers in a single shot.
[Ding! Congratulations to host for killing a Northern Barbarian A-rank elite Blood Wolf soldier, combat strength 2nd grade martial artist. Slaughter Points +200.]
[Ding! Congratulations to host for killing a Northern Barbarian A-rank elite Blood Wolf soldier…]
[Ding! Congratulations to host…]
…
Another triple kill with a single arrow!
Six hundred Slaughter Points earned in an instant!
The only disappointment—those archers were still just ordinary members.
Still, with the reward of Slaughter Points as motivation, Lin Feng’s eyes grew brighter and brighter.
The one-stone bow in his hands felt like a mere toy, yet it had become the deadliest weapon on the battlefield.
On the eastern wall, the arrows in Lin Feng’s hands flew endlessly.
In just moments, the pressure on the eastern front had eased considerably.
Because of the intense battle between the Blood Wolf Army and the defenders, aside from Jiang Yi, no one had yet noticed how shockingly fierce Lin Feng had become.
