Cultivation Simulator: Shocking the Academy-Chapter 524 - 377: The Will of God Cannot Be Stopped

On the boundless desert prairie, starlight dotted the sky and the night wind howled. Luo Chen stood alone on this battlefield that belonged to him, his eyes seeing only arrows and wind. Many people did not understand the difference between shooting with both hands and with one hand, but in Luo Chen’s hands, these two techniques differed as starkly as life and death.

Shooting with one hand, although it allowed for quick firing, had a fatal shooting blind spot. If an enemy silently approached from the side or from behind, the archer would be like a bound prey, powerless to resist. However, firing with both hands reached another level. Luo Chen’s hands were like two agile snakes, left hand on the bow, right hand on the arrow, alternating shots. Not only could his arms take turns to rest, but more importantly, he no longer had any shooting blind spots.

On this desert prairie, Luo Chen was like a solitary dancer, dancing with the wind, walking with the arrow. His figure moved quickly in the darkness, each drawing of the bow and notching of the arrow remarkably precise. Thousands of cavalrymen surrounded and pursued him on the prairie, the sound of hooves thundering, but they could never reach Luo Chen’s figure. Instead, under Luo Chen’s arrows, hundreds of soldiers’ lives were mercilessly taken.

Yet, in this seemingly one-sided slaughter, Luo Chen remained extremely vigilant. He constantly watched for any movements from Master Liu and Warrior Huyan Sheng. These two were different from ordinary soldiers, their presence posed a great threat to Luo Chen. Should they make the slightest move, Luo Chen would immediately change his position to ensure he remained in a safe place.

What gave Luo Chen some peace was that Master Liu did not seem to be pursuing him too aggressively, maintaining a certain distance instead. Initially, Luo Chen was puzzled by this, but he quickly understood the reason. Master Liu was likely wary of the White-haired Monk’s evil spirits, thus he dared not easily approach.

Realizing this, Luo Chen grew bolder. He even began to deliberately provoke Master Liu and Warrior Huyan Sheng, trying to lure them within his shooting range. However, these two enemies did not fall for it; they remained calm and alert, maintaining a subtle balance with Luo Chen.

During a lull in the fierce battle, Luo Chen learned something through his exchange with Li Xin. It turned out Li Xin’s tribal leader father had unfortunately died from injuries sustained during a hunt, and her brother Sima Changkong was successfully elected as the new tribal leader. This news did not particularly affect Luo Chen, but he could feel the importance of power shifts and family honor among the tribes.

As time passed and dawn gradually brightened the sky, the tension on the battlefield did not diminish in the slightest. Luo Chen continued searching for enemy weaknesses while shooting and moving, and Master Liu and Warrior Huyan Sheng were secretly seeking opportunities. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

However, at this moment, the urgent sound of horse hooves suddenly came from a distance. Luo Chen furrowed his brows and looked toward the sound, seeing a group of cavalry charging rapidly in this direction. Their arrival undoubtedly brought new variables to this battle that had lasted for a full three hours.

Luo Chen took a deep breath, tightly gripping the bow and arrow in his hand, preparing to face the imminent new challenge. He did not know whether these cavalry were enemies or friends, but on this battlefield, the slightest negligence could lead to fatal consequences.

According to Li Xin’s detailed narration, ever since Sima Changkong was elected as tribal leader, the relationship between him and the Blue Man King Chanyu Xiong had become increasingly tense. This tense atmosphere was not unfounded but stemmed from their political disagreements. However, Li Xin could not know the specific details of their conflicts. As a woman, her involvement in tribal affairs was not high, so she could only observe these deep-seated disputes from a bystander’s perspective.

Listening to Li Xin’s narration, a sense of puzzlement surged in Luo Chen’s heart. In his view, it was incredible that Sima Changkong, as a tribal leader, dared to have conflicts with the Blue Man King Chanyu Xiong. In the Black Dragon Kingdom, the emperor’s authority was supreme, and no tribal leader or military commanders dared challenge this authority.

However, this notion of Luo Chen’s was quickly corrected by Li Xin. She told Luo Chen that his understanding of the Blue People was still too superficial. Among the Blue People, the tribal structure was complex, and aside from the tribe led by Chanyu Xiong, there were hundreds of other tribes of varying sizes. Although these tribes were nominally under the rule of the Blue Man King, in reality, their interactions were not frequent, and some tribes even engaged in disputes over cattle and sheep.
