Chapter 38: Battle of Fate

What was going on? Gu Qingshan’s expression changed and quickly made the War God Operating Interface pop out.
He saw a light cut across the War God Operating Interface, and it became several rows of large, red words in the middle of the screen.
“Break the chains of fate and change the course of history that has already been set. Player Gu Qingshan has entered the Mission of Destiny.”
“Mission description: Gongsun Zhi and Ning Yuechan are fallen heroes buried deep in history. If you can change their fate, you will change the course of history.”
“Mission target: Rescue Gongsun Zhi and Ning Yuechan.”
“Upon completion of the mission, player will receive a special reward: War God Magical Power (1/1).”
“If player fails the mission, player will be wiped out.”
Gu Qingshan read everything at one shot and was completely dumbfounded.
“Me? Rescue them?” he couldn’t help but laugh bitterly.
“And the system will wipe me out if I fail the mission? How interesting. As if the demons would let me off if I fail this mission.”
Gu Qingshan looked up into the sky.
It was definitely impossible for Gu Qingshan to be involved in a battle with something like a Faceless Giant since his cultivation level was so low.
But if he had to escape, he couldn’t do it alone since there were more and more demons coming from all directions.
But now that the system had already given him this mission, it meant that even if he could escape, he couldn’t be the sole survivor of this attack.
If Gongsun Zhi and Ning Yuechan died, he would be wiped out with them.
Gu Qingshan looked in front again.
The demon army was rushing over like crazy, and they were going to be able to launch an attack soon.
They were now in a crisis.
Gongsun Zhi hit the formation disk quickly like a butterfly fluttering through the flowers as he yelled out loudly, “Mountain Burial Formation!”
The ground started shaking, and five mountain peaks rose from the ground, causing the dozens of Gloomy Fire Evil Snakes and Blood Drinking Demons to be stuck and squashed in between the mountain peaks.
The higher the mountain peaks rose, the higher the pressure in between the peaks became, and most of the Gloomy Fire Evil Snakes were squashed into a bloody mess of flesh.
Suddenly, one Gloomy Fire Evil Snake fell from in between the peaks, crashed on the ground, and was close to death.
Gu Qingshan’s gaze shifted.
He pulled an arrow out and nocked it on Night Rain, then released it.
This was a special arrow because the arrowhead had been made from one of the venomous fangs Gu Qingshan had pulled out from the Demonic Python he killed, and its power was way higher than a normal arrow.
There was just one swoosh.
The arrow struck the Gloomy Fire Evil Snake and sank into its body.
The poison from the Demonic Python’s fangs immediately took effect, and this unlucky Gloomy Fire Evil Snake was going to die really soon.
Gloomy Fire Evil Snakes were high-level demons, and it should have a heightened sense of danger. But when it was faced with Night Rain, it didn’t feel that death was coming its way at all.
Gu Qingshan gripped the longbow tightly and gave Ning Yuechan a few more brownie points.
Gongsun Zhi turned to nod approvingly at him and said, “Excellent. Get more arrows and don’t let them have a chance to attack us.”
“Got it!”
Gu Qingshan pulled out another arrow when there was a movement in his mind.
A system prompt appeared in his subconscious.
“High-level creature killed: Gloomy Fire Evil Snake. 20 Soul Power points awarded. Current Soul Power: 21/7.”
You mean this was possible?
Gu Qingshan was surprised.
The amount of Soul Power points he had was way more than the upper limit of his Soul Power.
When he was hunting low-level demons, his Soul Power refused to accumulate further once he had reached the upper limit.
That was something that gave Gu Qingshan a slight headache.
Gloomy Fire Evil Snakes were high-level demons and were equivalent to a human Foundation Building cultivator, which was way over Gu Qingshan’s cultivation level.
After killing the Gloomy Fire Evil Snake, his Soul Power point total had hit 21 points, and he could now comprehend many techniques at once.
So it seemed like the War God Operating Interface encouraged players to challenge others who were stronger than themselves.
Once the player had won against an enemy stronger than himself, then the system would ignore the upper limit and allow the player to accumulate more Soul Power points.
After Gu Qingshan had started to understand this, he kept Night Rain away and switched to the military bow. He could now comprehend the technique “Precision”.
“I choose to comprehend Precision.”
“Precision comprehended. 4 Soul Power points consumed. Current Soul Power: 17/7.”
A warm flow rushed out from the military bow into Gu Qingshan’s mind. After several seconds, Gu Qingshan had fully comprehended Precision.
He took an ordinary arrow and aimed at another dying Gloomy Fire Evil Snake that had just fallen from the mountain peak.
SWOOSH!
This Gloomy Fire Evil Snake had felt the danger and tried to avoid it. But it was too badly wounded to even move.
The arrow sank into the Gloomy Fire Evil Snake’s eyes, piercing deeply through its cranium and taking its life in an instant.
So that’s how it worked. Precision improved how accurately he hit the target. Gu Qingshan understood this immediately.
“High-level creature killed: Gloomy Fire Evil Snake. 20 Soul Power points awarded. Current Soul Power: 37/7.”
Gu Qingshan put away the military bow and switched back to the longbow, Night Rain.
He opened the War God Operating Interface and looked through every technique Night Rain had.
“Bow: Night Rain, Previous techniques used were:
1) Bombardment. Last to use technique: Ning Annan. Comprehension requires 10 points of Soul Power.
2) Accuracy. Last to use technique: Ning Annan. Comprehension requires 6 points of Soul Power.
3) Sharpshooter. Last to use technique: Ning Annan. Comprehension requires 15 points of Soul Power.
4) Gallop in Wind (Passive Technique). Last to use technique: Ning Annan. Comprehension requires 5 points of Soul Power.
Ning Annan was Ning Yuechan’s father’s name. So this longbow was indeed a bow passed down in the Ning family as Ning Yuechan had said before.
Gu Qingshan quietly looked through the techniques again and thought through it carefully.
Accuracy could increase the fatality of Precision shots, while Sharpshooter increased the fatality of Accuracy.
Gallop in Wind was a passive technique, and it would increase the speed of the arrow’s flight without calling on it.
Bombardment was a powerful archery technique that could greatly increase the damage each arrow could cause.
This was a gift from Ning Yuechan to thank him for saving his life.
The demons were here to attack, and according to history, the Celestial Pole Sacred Lady, Ning Yuechan, was going to fall into a crisis and eventually die after fighting a hard battle for one day and one night.
But now history had been pushed slightly off its original course because of Gu Qingshan’s help. So now the poison in her body had been purged, and her injuries were healing at a high speed.
In this life, Ning Yuechan’s doomed fate might finally see a glimmer of hope in such a despairing moment.
As a result of these actions, Ning Yuechan had also given such a powerful bow that was passed down in her family to Gu Qingshan.
With this bow and the powerful techniques tied to it, Gu Qingshan could become stronger too.
Gu Qingshan looked at Night Rain, and his heart started pounding.
Most cultivators would not teach others such powerful techniques without a good reason.
But now, he had the chance to learn such high-level archery techniques instantly.
Gu Qingshan didn’t hesitate any more and made a decision.
“It’s a total of 36 Soul Power points, right? I choose to comprehend everything!”
After he made that decision, the system’s icy voice rang out:
“Comprehension complete. 36 Soul Power points consumed. Current Soul Power: 1/7.”
“Precision has been upgraded to Accuracy. Accuracy has been upgraded to Sharpshooter.”
“Player has comprehended Gallop in Wind.”
“Player has comprehended Bombardment.”
A hot and fiery flow rushed out from Night Rain and went straight into Gu Qingshan’s consciousness.
After three breaths, he suddenly opened his eyes, and he exuded a sharp intent to kill as if there were knives all around his body.
