"Haha! We should just run up to it and fight it!"
Tang Zhenliu said with a boastful laugh as he pointed at the seven dog-headed dragon.
Everyone looked at Tang Zhenliu with a weird look. Even after Qing Tian had told them that each head of this creature was a super creature itself and that they only had the strength to severely wound a Super creature by themselves, Tang Zhenliu was trying to send them to Death's doors!
Qing Tian had promised to give each one of them a Sutra that would be compatible with them. After witnessing Qing Tian's Geno Fluid making skills, they didn't doubt anything he wished to give them.
It was indeed a little weird about how he had obtained 12 Sutras, all compatible with all 12 of them. They doubted it for a while, but they decided to just accept it.
With all twelve of them working together, defeating this peculiar Super creature would be easy, but how well their teamwork is will be tested before the beast.
"Don't worry Zhenliu, when you're stuck in the beast's stomach, we'll pull you out," said Qing Tian as he slapped Tang Zhenliu in the back.
Tang Zhenliu laughed and slapped his own chest, "I won't go down so easily!"
"You will if you go in there recklessly," said Qing Tian with a smirk.
Hearing Qing Tian's words, Tang Zhenliu laughed nervously before getting quiet and listening to the plans of the others.
Whilst they did that, Qing Tian disappeared into the shadows and approached the dog-headed dragon, Ritual Killer.
Ritual Killer was on high alert after it felt twelve powerful presences nearby. It knew that the twelve presences were targeting it's life and that they could very well take it. However, it's blood boiled at the thought of fighting 12 beings to the death.
Appearing from the darkness, Qing Tian casually walked over to Ritual Killer before placing his hand on the creature. After touching it for a couple of seconds, Qing Tian smiled and walked away.
With just a simple touch, Qing Tian had strengthened Ritual Killer enough to be a difficult obstacle for the 12 people he brought along. He wanted them to suffer a couple of injuries for when they go to announce the defeat of a Super Creature. If they go unscathed, it would be suspicious and people would believe that what they defeated was nothing more than a special Sacred-Blood creature.
Qing Tian was returning to the Super Group when he suddenly stopped and smiled, "You returned quite quickly, Holy Angel."
Appearing from the darkness with a holy glow surrounding her seductive body and her white halo, Holy Angel approached Qing Tian with a smile on her face.
telepathically said Holy Angel through her mental connection to Qing Tian.
Growth.
Thanks to the array Qing Tian had placed down, Holy Angel was able to become a Super Creature right away. However, she wasn't a 'complete' Super Creature in Qing Tian's eyes, he felt that she still missed that 'spark'.
Nodding, Qing Tian said, "That's good."
Whilst having her head patted by Qing Tian, Holy Angel said,
Qing Tian chuckled and asked, "How about Silence? Did she break through without any problems?"
Holy Angel nodded and said,
Shaking his head, Qing Tian chuckled, "I hope she doesn't do anything too drastic."
Removing Qing Tian's hand from her head and placing it instead on her breast after her armor disappeared momentarily. With a serious look on her adorable face, Holy Angel said,
Smiling, Qing Tian gave Holy Angel's breast a squeeze before letting go, "Go then, I expect great things from you. Go and find a Life Essence of the Holy Element before you head to the next sanctuary. After you do that, come to me with the Life Essence."
Holy Angel nodded with a blush on her face before flying away quietly, using the Universal Kun Peng Technique whilst flying. She looked majestic and domineering as she quietly disappeared into the blue sky and eventually disappeared.
Qing Tian felt that the 'spark' was something that would only make her stronger in the long run and further improve her potential. If he could strengthen her with the Life Essence of the Holy Element, Holy Angel would truly be unbeatable in whichever Sanctuary she is in.
Even against Magica and Silence who are both monsters by their own rights.
Qing Tian had prepared Holy Angel to become a powerful being and have her remain by his side as a trusted aide and partner.
…
Back at the camp with the Super Group, Qing Tian had reappeared as if he was never gone.
"Okay! The plan has been set, now we must execute it," said Lin Feng as he stood up from the wooden log he had sat upon.
Qing Tian smiled and followed closely behind the group of 12 before being approached by Yang Manli and Qin Xuan.
"Are we ready?" asked Qin Xuan. She was confident in her abilities and knew that if she was with the Super Group, they could take care of the dog-headed dragon.
In fact, she even felt that it was overkill to send all of them against a single Super Creature when just a single pair could take down a Super creature.
"Rather than being ready, are you prepared to become a great figure with the entire Alliance having it's eyes on you?" asked Qing Tian as he looked at Qin Xuan with a smirk.
Qin Xuan smiled at Qing Tian's question and ran up to the others, her motivation rising after hearing Qing Tian's words.
"You…" Yang Manli said quietly with a serious face.
"Yeah?" asked Qing Tian.
Yang Manli looked a little nervous, breaking her serious look, "Can you… train me in the bow?"
"You aren't satisfied with the stuff I taught you?" asked Qing Tian as he smiled and looked at Yang Manli straight in the eyes.
He had obviously trained Yang Manli in the Art of Bows. However, what he had trained everyone in was a technique solely made for them that if they mastered it, they would be unrivaled in it in this world.
It was the bare necessities he had offered them. He had set limits on the technique that would prevent them from reaching Martial Realm levels like Saint.
The highest they could achieve was the Ancestor Realm, where they can create an imposing aura that can weaken their targets or even make them fall unconscious if they're weak, sometimes even leading to death.
The girls could obviously reach that realm, but the guys could only reach the Grandmaster Realm, a realm behind the Ancestor Realm.
"No, I am satisfied," said Yang Manli with a nervous look on her face. "I just… want to learn more stuff. Like how you were able to make the arrow make sharp turns or even curve. For as long as I've known about the bow, I've always been taught that bows can only shoot straight."
Qing Tian chuckled and placed his hand on Yang Manli's head, "Manli, sometimes you need to think outside the box to create new techniques. If you truly wish to become a Legend as a Bow user, then you need to break away from conventional means and create your own techniques."
"What… do you mean?" asked Yang Manli with furrowed eyebrows.
It wasn't that Yang Manli didn't understand Qing Tian, but she wanted to know more.
Qing Tian chuckled a little and continued, "There was a Legend about a Master Archer.
He followed conventional methods like every archer and became renowned because he had mastered his skills. Yet, he always wished to strive for more, he felt like he was constricted about the thought of always having to shoot straight."
"What did he do?" Yang Manli asked.
"He did what he wanted to do, he went and studied boomerang throwing and curving baseball throws. The Master Archer studied and continued to learn the art of curving and controlling an arrow after it leaves the bow.
Finally, he seemed to have accomplished his wish, or so he thought.
He added a string to his arrow and tried changing its course and it only ended in failure. However, his test didn't end there. He continued practicing with the string until he realized a crucial problem.
It's not that he needed to add onto his equipment, but he needed to change the equipment and his techniques.
With that in mind, the Master Archer made custom arrows with various differences in the arrowheads and the body of the arrow.
He would always change what his bow was made of and what string his bow held. Finally, he created a bow that was too strong for him to pull and shoot an arrow. With the perfect bow created and many arrows awaiting to be used, the Master Archer continued training to pull on the Perfect Bow.
Constantly training his grip, his arm, fingers, his body, his legs… his eyes…
After 5 years, the man was able to pull on the string as far as he could and when he let go, the Perfect Bow would blow all the air away. With the constant training on pulling back the Perfect Bow, the Master Archer once tried using a normal bow and the bow broke.
However, the arrow launched from the broken bow was stronger than before. At the cost of the life of the bow, the arrow had become stronger and faster.
He then realized that he had become stronger, and with that strength, his previous techniques were no longer useful to him. Instead, he made new ones that were compatible with his strength and his body.
Throughout his journey of creating new techniques, the Master Archer became wiser and philosophical. Eventually becoming a Taoist and finding out about stuff like Tao(Dao).
'To give meaning into the arrow and grant it "The Way". To instill into the arrow my beliefs and wishes and make it do as I say.'
Another ten years passed and the Master Archer had become a Legend as the man who could shoot down the sun and part the sea with a single arrow."
Yang Manli looked at Qing Tian blankly before furrowing her eyebrows and looking at Qing Tian weirdly.
'I didn't understand a thing he said,' she thought, but it was weird. Although she couldn't understand a word of what Qing Tian said, the story constantly played in her mind over and over. 'To break out of conventional means… and make something my own… to instill my belief and wishes onto the arrows…
…
… my Will…'
Qing Tian looked at Yang Manli quietly with a smile before looking forward and finding the seven dog-heads of the dragon before them. All seven heads contained a menacing look in it's eyes and their growl was loud and made the land under them tremble.
"Okay, I will look from the side," said Qing Tian before suddenly disappearing and appearing on top of a tree quietly.
Everyone looked a little shocked at Qing Tian's fast movements but quickly focused on the Dog-headed Dragon. They didn't have the time to question how Qing Tian had 'teleported' to the top of a tree and make it seem as if he was weightless as the tree showed no sign of having someone standing on top of it.
"Everyone… get ready…" said Qin Xuan. With her experience as a leader of a group in the Steel Armor Shelter, Qin Xuan rapidly took command.
Everyone summoned their beast souls and within just a second, all 12 people were donning their beast soul armor and were carrying their weapons.
Yang Manli was in the back with her bow and was joined by three people, Duan Lanying, Huangfu Pingqing, and Lin Xue.
The rest moved forward with Queen and Tang Zhenliu taking on the roles of Tanks. Tang Zhenliu would take the attacks and Queen would dodge them with her kiting skills.
Ning Yue, Ji Yanran, and Qu Lili were all going to provide support whilst the last three. Qin Xuan, Lin Feng and Han Sen took the chance to work as the main force.
