Chapter 169: Primal Arrow
In the army, attacking exercises were the most basic exercises.
A simple description is a warrior attacking straight ahead with a weapon in hand.
Spears and swords stab, while sabers and axes slash, and a hammer smashes.
For a warrior, the weight of the weapon was nothing. Training by using a weapon to simply attack had little effect.
Hence, they had to use a target to test their attack’s power.
An effective attack was to stab through armor. Only an attack that could break through an enemy’s steel armor was threatening.
In an army like the Xuanwu Army, the attack target was made of metal. The metal used was ordinary iron, but for most soldiers, that was enough.
But in the Tai Ah Divine City, things were different.
With the attack power of the Tai Ah Divine City warriors, an ordinary thick iron plate would be easily pierced with a fine weapon. It would be no different than a normal person chopping wood.
Hence, the Tai Ah Divine City’s refining masters created a purple tungsten wall that could self-heal.
It had sufficient thickness and toughness. It could test a warrior’s attack power, and it could also self-heal. This design made Yi Yun amazed.
The facilities and rules of the Tai Ah Divine City really opened up his eyes.
It was said that the purple tungsten wall would self-heal in a few months after a mark was left on it by an attack.
But during these few months, the purple tungsten wall would still be attacked, causing it to be filled with compact marks. Counting all these marks, there were thousands of them.
This was evidence of the intense training in the Tai Ah Divine City!
If a normal soldier from an army were to come here, he would fall apart from exhaustion. Those who could survive were the elites among elites.
“There’s such a wall!”
At this time, after the break, whether they were members of the Xuanwu Army or the Jin Long Wei, they had recovered quite a sizable amount of energy. With energy, they were raring to try.
The people from Xuanwu Army especially liked this form of manly training due to their culture.
“Alright, the attack training begins now!” The bald man waved. Many people began to wield their weapons. All the young heroes present did not have interspatial rings. Many of their weapons were not light, and had to be carried on their backs. This, no doubt, made it more difficult frog-jumping.
Many of them could not even make it halfway. They had to eat a fierce beast relic or some other supplementary elixir.
“Weapons…have to be standardized.” Seeing many people wield their weapons, the bald man shook his head. He pointed to a huge metal box beside the purple tungsten wall.
This metal box was four to five meters wide. The bald man kicked the box open and everyone saw what was in the box.
Within it were metal spears that were four meters long and were as thick as a strong man’s arm.
The metal spear was entirely black. Its tip was conical and cold. Yi Yun had never seen such a thick and long spear. This had to be something a three meter tall giant would use?
Oh?
Yi Yun noticed that on the other end of the metal spear were metal notches, making it look like an arrow.
“Have you seen the ballistae on the Tai Ah Divine City walls? The Tai Ah Divine City has 128 ballistae. Among them, one of them is the Primal Divine Crossbow. It was made by three sage level refining masters. This Primal Divine Crossbow can only be loaded through the combined efforts of twelve human lord experts!”
Combined efforts of twelve human lord experts? Then what would be the power if such an arrow was sent flying?
“Have you heard about the Star Shooting Bow?” The bald man asked and the crowd nodded in reply. The Star Shooting Bow was a famous weapon in the entire Tai Ah Divine Kingdom.
Even Yi Yun had heard of it in the Cloud Wilderness.
When he was secretly learning from Yao Yuan, when Yao Yuan reached the part about “Thunder Occurring in the Nine Clouds, Surprise Bow Drops Flock”, he had said, “Everyone’s body is a treasure! The limit of human tendons is terrifying. The Star Shooting Bow bowstring was made of the tendons of the founding emperor of the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom.”
The bald man had taken out a metal spear from the metal box. As he balanced it in his hand, he said, “You must have guessed that this thick spear is the arrow used by the Primal Divine Crossbow. If we are talking about its piercing strength, the arrows shot out from the Primal Divine Bow is fully comparable with the Star Shooting Bow! It can hurt even a primordial species beast!”
Upon hearing the bald man’s words, everyone’s heart jumped.
From the arrow’s thickness and length, the feeling it gave off made the Primal Divine Crossbow frightening.
But it had to be said that the Star Shooting Bow was more terrifying.
Only through the combined strength of twelve human lords could the Primal Divine Bow be strung, hence there had to be several restrictions in its use. And from the way the bald man
