The spirit out of body technique is a very important barrier for all warriors, not only for archers but also for swordsmen.
Only by learning the spirit out of body technique can one use spiritual power to lock onto moving targets and then attack with precision.
Many martial artists never complete the spirit out of body technique in their entire lives, so their martial attainments never advance even an inch.
This spirit out of body technique completely tests spiritual talent. If the talent is extremely high and the luck is good enough, it may be completed within half a month. If the talent is very high but the luck is not good enough, it may take several months or even half a year to complete.
The demon star had said that Lanling’s spiritual talent was around 7.5, which was quite high but definitely not top tier.
Next, Ye Jingyu stood behind Lanling and recited the Drifting Zero Art.
This Drifting Zero Art, like the Peaceful Mind Art, had no specific words. It was like ethereal Sanskrit chants. Moreover, it was infused with special energy that directly drilled into the ears and into the brain.
While taking this special spiritual stimulant and listening to the Drifting Zero Art that sounded like Sanskrit chants, Lanling felt his body becoming lighter and lighter. In the end he almost could not feel the existence of his body at all, as if his soul and his spirit were about to leave his body directly.
However, again and again he was about to leave his body, yet he always seemed to be pulled back by a thread and could not truly float away.
At this moment, Lanling underwater was always just a tiny bit away from achieving spirit out of body.
Every time his spiritual power wanted to rush out, he would find another thread immediately pulling him back. Moreover, after countless attempts, instead of getting better, it became increasingly difficult.
Because he gradually began to feel the existence of his body again and gradually lost that floating and immortal like feeling.
Under these circumstances, completing the spirit out of body technique became even more difficult. According to this trend, the time for him to complete the spirit out of body technique would only become longer and longer, perhaps three months or perhaps half a year.
At this point Lanling already felt that success seemed farther and farther away. He immediately summoned the demon star in his consciousness and said, “Do you have a way to let me complete the spirit out of body immediately?”
The demon star said, “Of course I can.”
Its answer was so straightforward and decisive that Lanling was instantly stunned.
The demon star said, “I am independent within your body, yet I coexist with you, so my energy can pull your spirit out of your body.”
Lanling said, “That is good. Pull my spirit out immediately now.”
The demon star said, “Then please remove all your defences and enter the Inverted Moon Art. Wholeheartedly concentrate on that inverted moon in the water.”
Lanling did exactly as instructed, gathering all his spiritual power in one place with no defences at all.
The demon star released a strand of dragon power, combined it with his spiritual power, and then pulled it directly out from Lanling’s eyes.
In that instant, Lanling really had the feeling of his soul leaving his body.
Immediately afterwards, Lanling truly saw himself, and he saw himself face to face.
This was impossible in reality unless there was a mirror in front. At this moment he was not really seeing himself but only a kind of spiritual sensation, then a reflection appeared in his brain, creating a visual illusion.
This demon star was truly too heaven defying.
At this moment, Lanling clearly felt that his dragon power was draining away extremely quickly. When the spiritual power was still inside the body, the dragon power consumption was not large. But once the spirit left the body, the consumption of dragon power increased several times over.
That meant that in the future, every time he locked onto a moving target, it would consume a large amount of dragon power.
For a powerful archer, every long range spiritual lock was equivalent to a critical strike. In one day there would only be three to five such opportunities to hit every shot.
However, this was only reasonable. Otherwise, if a dragon archer could hit targets a thousand metres away at any time and any place, then what was the point of fighting on the battlefield.
“Alright, your spiritual power should be exhausted. That is enough for today. Continue tomorrow.” Ye Jingyu’s voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
Then she directly stood up out of the water.
Lanling also stood up out of the water and found that the sky was now filled with dense stars. It was already night again.
Seeing that Lanling looked spiritually exhausted, Ye Jingyu said, “You do not need to feel discouraged. The shortest time to complete this spirit out of body technique is half a month. Two or three months, or even more than half a year, is normal. It is something that relies on talent but even more on chance.”
Lanling said, “I have already succeeded.”
Ye Jingyu instantly widened her beautiful eyes and said in shock, “This, this is impossible. Even with the highest spiritual talent, it requires half a month, and it is still very coincidental and requires extremely good luck.”
Lanling said, “I really succeeded. After the spirit left the body, what I saw of myself was not a specific face but a silhouette, flickering with faint golden light and with a faint purple feeling.”
As soon as these words came out, Ye Jingyu knew that Lanling had truly completed the spirit out of body technique. Because without truly experiencing it, one could not describe the first scene seen after the spirit left the body.
“You, you really are a monster.” Ye Jingyu said. “This most difficult barrier has been passed. Next, locking onto moving targets will be simple. Go to sleep. We still have to cultivate early tomorrow morning.”
“Yes.” Lanling said.
Then Ye Jingyu began to set up the tent. After the tent was set up, Lanling went in to sleep, while Ye Jingyu instead went back into the river under the waterfall once more.
“I am going to bathe. Do not stick your head out, or I will dig out your eyes.” Ye Jingyu said.
…
At the same time, in the royal city.
“Ah…”
Princess Zhi Ning suddenly woke up from her dream with a start. Her body felt as hot as if it were on fire, and she was drenched all over.
This was already who knows how many times. She had that unbearable dream again.
Ever since that bastard Suo Lun bit her lip, she frequently had dreams at night, and every time Suo Lun was in the dream.
In the dreams, Suo Lun was always ravishing her in different ways.
And she was actually enjoying it amid the pain. There was even one time when her body reached the peak in such an erotic dream.
In reality she was a person with extremely strong willpower who remained unmoved and could control everything.
But she could not control her dreams at all and could not control herself from dreaming. To the point that later on she even became somewhat afraid to fall asleep.
“After the graduation major examination, this bastard must die. He must die.” Princess Zhi Ning said resolutely.
At this moment, an extremely light sound of footsteps came from outside.
“Who?” Princess Zhi Ning shouted coldly.
A person completely covered in a black cloak walked in without his feet touching the ground, bowed and said, “Princess, a flying falcon letter with four feathers has come from the southern frontier.”
Four feathers meant it was extremely urgent and must be delivered into Princess Zhi Ning’s hands in the shortest time. Of course, if it were five feathers, it would have to be delivered directly to Zhi Li.
“Bring it here.” Zhi Ning put on gold thread gloves and took the secret letter.
When she opened it, it was in code that only she and Zhi Li could understand.
After reading it, her brows twitched slightly and she murmured, “So he ran to the southern frontier. Dying there would be in vain anyway, so do not blame me for taking your little life in advance.”
Then she rose from the bed without a stitch of clothing on. Her peerlessly beautiful body was exquisite and unmatched.
The black cloaked eunuch who had entered immediately lowered his gaze and did not even dare to glance from the corner of his eye. Even though the noble body in front of him would make even a eunuch tempted.
She sat just like that on the brocade chair and drew a portrait on the table.
The painting method she used was surprisingly Lanling’s sketch portrait technique, and she had already reached eight tenths proficiency. She really was a genius.
“Send this portrait by flying falcon to the Black Widow of the Venomous Snake Tribe.” Zhi Ning casually threw out the letter and said, “Say that the person in the portrait is her new target.”
“Yes.” The black cloaked eunuch caught the secret letter and disappeared from the room like the wind.
…
The Venomous Snake Tribe was one of the surviving barbarian tribes in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.
The reason this tribe had been able to survive was first because of its chieftain, the Black Widow.
Because of her viciousness, her peerless beauty, and her power.
Wild warriors who came to the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains dared to hunt barbarians from any tribe, but they did not dare to kill people from the Venomous Snake Tribe.
Because anyone who dared to hunt a person from the Venomous Snake Tribe would not only die himself, but his family and his entire team would also die completely.
There was once a team led by a Dragon Warrior who relied on their strong power. When they encountered a team from the Venomous Snake Tribe, they attacked and killed them all cleanly.
However, in less than a month, the entire clan of that Dragon Warrior died violently. Moreover, they all rotted to death.
Immediately afterwards, everyone in that team died mysteriously and miserably, and their families also all died miserably.
And on every corpse there was a shocking signature, the Black Widow.
From then on, wild warriors coming to the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains no longer dared to hunt people from the Venomous Snake Tribe when they saw them.
And the Black Widow also became the most terrifying woman in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.
It was rumoured that her beauty could completely bewitch people’s minds, and she had countless faces, some seductive, some pure and beautiful. Even if she appeared in front of you, you would not know that she was the Black Widow.
The entire Venomous Snake Tribe lived inside mountain caves on a cliff.
In the magnificent room, lanterns and decorations were hung everywhere, and it was covered with喜 characters.
The number one beauty of the Venomous Snake Tribe was about to get married. The groom was a high level warrior from a human kingdom who had abandoned everything for his bride.
The bride wore a tight fiery red long dress and had a red veil over her head. She was sitting on the bed at this moment.
Her figure was truly like a snake. Ye Jingyu’s figure was already very explosive and devilish, but this woman in front of her was even more so. Her curves were no longer just physical curves but revealed a demonic seductive power.
The groom was around thirty years old and looked very heroic. At this moment he was staring痴痴 at the bride sitting on the edge of the bed. He still seemed to be in a dream. Such a peerless beauty had actually become his bride.
“My husband, are you really willing to stay here for me?” the bride said delicately. Her voice was incomparably pleasant.
“Willing.” the groom said trembling.
“You are a high level warrior with a great future in the human kingdom. You have territory, an army, and your family. If you marry me, you will have to abandon all of that.” the peerless beauty said. “In that case your future will be gone, your territory will be gone, and the entire human kingdom will regard you as an enemy.”
“For you, for the person I love, I am willing to do anything.” the handsome groom said passionately. Then he extremely reservedly knelt in front of the peerless beauty and said, “From now on, I am a warrior of the Venomous Snake Tribe. I will use my life to guard you and to guard the Venomous Snake Tribe.”
“It has been hard on you.” the bride said softly. “My husband, lift my veil.”
The groom stepped forward and lifted her red veil, revealing an exquisitely perfect face. Her beauty was breathtaking, and her two large eyes were like crystals.
“My husband, the hour is late. Let us rest.” the bride said shyly. Then she stretched out her jade like hand and wrapped it around the groom’s neck.
This human high level warrior groom trembled all over with excitement. The peerless beauty he had dreamed of day and night was finally going to belong to him completely and thoroughly.
The bride kept getting closer. Her嫣 red mouth, like fire, exhaled breath as fragrant as orchid as she kissed towards the groom’s neck.
“My husband, I will make you remember this for the rest of your life.” the peerless bride said delicately in the groom’s ear, then slightly opened her small mouth.
However, what she revealed was not a small fragrant tongue but snow white teeth. She bit fiercely into the artery on the human warrior groom’s neck. Blood immediately gushed out like a spring.
This human warrior groom instinctively wanted to break free, but the terrifying deadly poison instantly injected into his blood, making him completely unable to move.
Then he watched helplessly as all his blood was completely sucked dry by the peerless beauty in front of him.
Gulp, gulp… This peerless beauty sucked the blood desperately.
The originally heroic and strong high level warrior gradually turned into a dried corpse. His face twisted in extreme pain, and his gaze before death was still filled with absolute bewilderment.
He had been so devoted. Why did it end like this? Were all the previous sweet words and solemn vows fake?
The peerless beauty who had drunk her fill of blood had her beautiful eyes completely迷离. Her entire delicate body trembled desperately, and her entire soul was trembling as if she had reached a complete peak.
“Ah…” She let out a soul stirring delicate moan from her mouth and fiercely tore open her own tight long dress.
Rip, rip… She used her sharp fingernails to tear the human high level warrior’s corpse into pieces alive.
Immediately, the remaining blood in the corpse splashed everywhere. Then, in the blood mist filling the sky, she, completely naked, thoroughly enjoyed the bath of blood.
She was the peerlessly beautiful, infinitely charming, and terrifying Black Widow whose name made people tremble with fear.
