Gatekeeper of Myriad Worlds Chapter 215

Shen Ye was a little surprised.

Set up a venue for personal use out of thin air?

The conditions were too good!

Shen Ye immediately put all his free attribute points into “comprehension”, picked up a practice bow, and began to practice archery.

First, he practiced basic direct shooting for a while, then he practiced rapid-fire, quick-fire, and curved shooting.

When his hands warmed up, he started practicing “Sudden Rain”.

“Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish––”

Arrows left the string

without stopping.

Shen Ye’s understanding of archery also grew rapidly.

“Snap!”

With a light sound, the bowstring suddenly broke.

Shen Ye was stunned.

The iron rod hopped over again, bowed slightly, and displayed text on the sign:

“Do you want to choose a stronger bow for practice?”

“Sure,” Shen Ye shrugged, “The practice bow isn’t very handy. Do you have any usable bows?”

A dark green longbow immediately appeared on the sign, with text descriptions below it:

“Twenty years ago, a batch of ancient vanguard cavalry longbows were unearthed from a large tomb. They were well preserved and powerful, and have been perfectly replicated.”

“Bow name: Lone Goose.”

“Heavy, durable, fast firing speed.”

Shen Ye made the decision directly: “I’ll use this one!”

The wooden floor layers opened.

A bow, supported by a weapon rack, slowly ascended.

Shen Ye grabbed the bow, weighed it, and then tried drawing the string, saying with satisfaction:

“Thank you, I’ll use it!”

The iron rod, with the wooden sign, hopped back and reinserted itself into the ground, motionless.

Shen Ye then began to practice “Sudden Rain”.

With this “Lone Goose” bow, no matter how hard Shen Ye pulled or how quickly he plucked the bowstring, the bow showed no problems at all.

Shen Ye practiced almost unconsciously, entering a blissful state, and an hour passed without him realizing it.

Sweat all over his body.

He put down the bow, let out a long sigh, and walked to the edge of the field to rest.

Looking at the target again—

The humanoid target sank into the ground, replaced by a brand new target.

The arrows were also automatically loaded into quivers and neatly arranged for Shen Ye to use at any time.

Shen Ye took a sip of his drink and pulled out the “Sect Master’s Treasure Plans” book.

A prompt appeared on the page:

“Almost! You’re almost promoted! Practice it for another twenty minutes!”

Well.

Practicing Thunderpalm was three thousand times, but practicing Sudden Rain Archery was measured in minutes.

—You’re confusing me so much.

But then again—

With his extremely high “comprehension” and after practicing for so long, he already had a vague feeling.

In archery, he was just missing a key skill point that he hadn’t fully grasped yet.

That’s why the power of this move couldn’t be unleashed.

More practice is needed!

Xu Xingke said that the best way to improve one’s strength is to have a real fight.

“If only I could have some real combat experience.”

Shen Ye muttered to himself.

A series of “thump,” “thump,” “thump” sounds came.

Turning his head, he saw the iron rod hopping over again, bowing slightly, and aiming the sign at Shen Ye.

A line of text appeared on the sign:

“Do you need combat training?”

Shen Ye’s heart stirred: “What’s the content?”

“Simulate real combat environments, add enemies, and increase training difficulty,” the sign read.

Shen Ye was overjoyed.

Leaving aside everything else, just with this training facility, entering Xirang High School had already been worth the price of admission.

“I’ll take this.”

Shen Ye said immediately.

Small words kept appearing on the sign:

“Danger level: 1.”

“Connecting to the Dharma Realm, selecting scenario;”

“Scenario selected: Underground Tomb.”

“Monsters confirmed: All tomb zombies.”

“These are un-tamable, uncommunicative monsters, but toxic hazards have been removed.”

“Please begin training!”

The entire training hall disappeared.

Shen Ye found himself in a huge tomb chamber.

One by one, heavy iron coffins were pushed open.

Zombies roared deeply as they crawled out of the iron coffins.

From all directions.

Zombies swarmed in!

Shen Ye drew his bow and shot.

An arrow streaked across the sky, instantly piercing through five or six zombies, and finally “thudded” into a coffin lid that was about to open, pinning it shut.

Shen Ye shrugged.

—As soon as the feeling of real combat came back, I couldn’t help but exert more force and unleashed this strike.

Still, practical experience is essential!

He raised his longbow.

Sudden Rain—

Amidst dense whistling sounds, an entire quiver of arrows was emptied by Shen Ye.

Zombies groaned in unison and fell to the ground.

But more zombies appeared!

The void moved.

A quiver full of arrows appeared in front of Shen Ye.

Only at this moment would one remember that this battle was just a practice!

Since he had infinite ammunition, Shen Ye stood in place, continuously drawing his bow and firing.

Arrows constantly crisscrossed the tomb.

Each strike took down at least one zombie.

After several consecutive times, all the zombies fell to the ground, and not a single one could stand up again.

The void moved again.

The iron rod appeared, holding a sign with a new line of text:

“Training level 1 can no longer provide you with more help. Do you want to increase the training level?”

“Increase.” Shen Ye said.

The surrounding scene changed.

Shen Ye found himself standing on a steep cliff, with numerous pointed stalactites not far above his head.

Below the cliff.

An underground river roared ceaselessly.

The sign on the iron rod displayed new information:

“Training Level: 2.”

“Connecting to the Dharma Realm, selecting scenario;”

“Scenario selected: Underground River.”

“Monsters confirmed: Tomb Iron Zombies.”

“If you are in danger, please say ‘help’ to immediately exit the current scene.”

“Begin practice!”

Shen Ye felt a premonition and looked up.

On the stalactites above his head, greyish-white zombies hung upside down, one after another.

They fell down, hitting the cliff with a dull “thud” sound.

Shen Ye casually shot an arrow.

Clang!

The arrow hit the head of a grayish-white zombie, producing the crisp sound of metal being struck.

These must be the Iron Zombies.

—It seems that at this intensity, without using skills, I can’t defeat the zombies.

Shoot another arrow!

The arrow flew with a strong arc, emitting a blazing white light along the way, illuminating the dark world.

With a crisp “snap,” a large hole was shot through the iron zombie’s chest.

This was the curved archery technique imbued with the power of “light”—

Heavenly Arrow Art · Arc of Light!

Shen Ye stood in place, swiftly plucking the bowstring with both hands, shooting down the encroaching Iron Zombies one by one.

But more and more Iron Zombies appeared.

He was gradually forced to the edge of the cliff.

Looking down.

Many Iron Zombies were also entrenched on the steep cliff face.

This was their lair!

Shen Ye jumped backward, away from the cliff, and floated in mid-air.

This way, the Iron Zombies couldn’t attack him, and could only stare at him from the edge of the cliff.

“Ah, sorry, it was a practice battle, but I accidentally used flight.”

Shen Ye realized it and immediately apologized.

This level was clearly meant to quickly eliminate enemies while moving.

But he flew up and left the cliff.

—Essentially, he exploited a bug.

The iron rod hopped out again, hovering beside him, shaking the sign:

“Training level 2 can no longer provide you with more help. Do you want to increase the training level?”

“Increase.” Shen Ye said.

The surrounding scene changed again.

The sign on the iron rod displayed new information:

“Training Level: 3.”

“Scenario selected: Land of Corpse Accumulation.”

“Monsters confirmed: Bronze Corpses, Flying Head Demon.”

“Warning: This training level may cause disability or death. If you are in danger, immediately shout ‘help’ to promptly exit the current scene.”

“Begin practice!”

Shen Ye found himself standing on a massive rock.

This was an unknown underground passage.

Below this three-meter-high rock—

Dense, bronze-colored zombies walked back and forth, clad in tattered armor and wielding various weapons.

Some heads flew back and forth in mid-air, spinning continuously.

Was this a training ground, or a true reflection deep within the tomb?

Looking at the line “This training level may cause disability or death,” a sense of crisis arose in Shen Ye’s heart.

At this moment, the bronze zombies had already discovered him.

Battle begins!

“Hmph—”

Shen Ye couldn’t help but let out a low growl, his body trembling slightly.

Immediately, a figure emerged from behind him, holding a longbow, back to back with him, swiftly drawing and firing arrows.

—The two Shen Yes!

This was the power of the first layer of the Dharma Realm’s movement technique, “Flowing Moon”!

The bowstring sang like thunder—

The two Shen Yes plucked their bowstrings, unleashing “Sudden Rain” again and again, continuously firing, firing, firing!!!

In the darkness, flying arrows were everywhere.

After about four or five minutes.

Shen Ye’s heart suddenly felt a surge of emotion.

It was as if some power in the void had been stirred by him.

Whenever he plucked the bowstring, this power resonated with him once.

The resonance grew stronger and stronger.

Finally—

As Shen Ye reached back for another arrow, he suddenly stopped his hand.

“Maybe I should…”

He murmured softly, placing his finger on the bowstring.

A chilling aura immediately appeared on the bowstring, appearing as a faint frosty white.

“Go!”

Shen Ye let out a low cry.

The bowstring vibrated, startling like thunder!

A frosty white chill transformed into a sharp arrow shape, flying off with a whoosh, piercing through all the bronze zombies along the way, and shooting all the way to the end of the underground passage.

The entire underground passage immediately cleared out a long space.

Shen Ye, having broken through, could no longer hold back and plucked the bowstring repeatedly with his fingers.

The other Shen Ye behind him raised his bow accordingly.

One after another, the two of them shot out waves of invisible, frosty white arrows of cold air.

Until all his attributes were nearly depleted.

Shen Ye finally put down his longbow and gasped for breath.

The underground passage was empty.

The monsters’ corpses were piled up like mountains, completely annihilated!

A faint light gathered, forming lines of small text:

“Congratulations.”
