I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities-Chapter 110: Reward

The scene shifts back to half a moment earlier.

Zhang Yuan instructed the maid to clear away the leftover food and replace it with a pot of fragrant tea.

Then he had the door to the private room closed so he wouldn’t be disturbed.

Immediately afterward, Zhang Yuan took out the Iron-Clad Bow and Fine Iron Arrow he’d prepared long in advance.

The bow and arrow were hidden inside a pocket in his cloak.

Since the Iron-Clad Bow could be split in two, it was stored in the inner pocket and covered by the cloak, making it impossible to detect from the outside.

He reassembled the metal bow, standing before the window of the private room.

Overlooking Mirror Lake, he searched for his target.

The dossier that Yue Wuji had previously given him contained detailed information about Lai Wu in every aspect.

Including this guy’s whereabouts in recent days!

Without a doubt, the Furious Whale Gang had spies planted within the Fierce Tiger Gang.

Otherwise, such detailed information wouldn’t be possible.

This allowed Zhang Yuan to know that Lai Wu had been chartering flower boats to tour the lake and indulge in revelry with courtesans each night.

So he had made an advance reservation for a private room in the Qingyuan Building.

Preparing to snipe Lai Wu from a distance!

Zhang Yuan was in luck; tonight, Lai Wu once again chartered a boat for an outing and soon came into his view.

For ordinary people or even common martial artists, it would be impossible to see their target clearly from such a distance.

But after Zhang Yuan’s Divine Nest advanced to Level 3, his sensory abilities had been significantly enhanced.

He now possessed vision comparable to an eagle’s eye!

Especially when Zhang Yuan focused his attention on a flower boat, under the glow of the boat’s lanterns, the faces of everyone on board would appear clearly in his sight.

In fact, without such abilities, Zhang Yuan wouldn’t have chosen this method to complete his mission.

As Lai Wu entered Zhang Yuan’s field of vision, this hoodlum’s life had begun its countdown.

He took a deep breath and, without hesitation, raised the Iron-Clad Bow in his hand.

Simultaneously, he triggered the Power of the Black Giant Ant.

Fourfold Power! 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

The next moment, the Iron-Clad Bow in Zhang Yuan’s hands was drawn into a full moon.

A black Fine Iron Arrow was steadily nocked on the bowstring.

Zhang Yuan aimed at Lai Wu on the flower boat and estimated the distance between them.

He closed his eyes, then opened them again.

In that moment, Zhang Yuan’s mind and the Iron-Clad Bow in his hand completely merged, the latter seemingly part of his body, with an inseparable connection of flesh and blood, even soul!

His consciousness locked onto the distant target through the Fine Iron Arrowhead, and suddenly a realization dawned upon him.

Zhang Yuan released the bowstring.

Bang!

Accompanied by a soul-stirring resonance, a circle of invisible ripples suddenly appeared in the surrounding space.

The Fine Iron Arrow abruptly shot forward and spun rapidly in the air, its speed astonishingly quick.

Cloud-Piercing Arrow!

In merely three breaths, the swift arrow had cleared a distance of over a thousand steps.

Striking Lai Wu’s head!

The three-edged arrowhead, able to pierce through heavy armor, effortlessly penetrated the grotesque head.

The inherent power erupted with a roar.

Puff!

After blasting through Lai Wu’s head, the momentum of the Fine Iron Arrow remained undiminished, shooting straight into the deep waters of the lake.

Completely disappearing from sight.

Good shot!

Zhang Yuan let out a deep breath, feeling a wave of relief wash over him.

To deal with Lai Wu, he had prepared multiple plans in advance.

If the target hadn’t shown up tonight, or if the sniping failed, Zhang Yuan had contingency measures ready.

Now, all those contingency plans were rendered pointless.

Feeling an immense sense of satisfaction!

Zhang Yuan’s gain wasn’t merely in completing the mission.

Through the powerful execution of this arrow.

He had gained a deeper mastery and understanding of the "Cloud-Piercing Arrow."

His archery had improved significantly!

With the Iron-Clad Bow and Fine Iron Arrow, combined with the Cloud-Piercing Arrow Technique, and the extraordinary power of the Black Giant Ant.

Zhang Yuan undoubtedly had a new ace up his sleeve!

He slowly and methodically removed the bowstring, disassembled the Iron-Clad Bow into two parts, and returned it to the pouch.

Draped in his cloak, he left the private room.

After settling the bill at the counter, Zhang Yuan headed to his home in the county city.

This house, bought on Fish Alley in Chang’an District of the city’s east, although not frequently lived in now, Zhang Yuan would visit to check each time he entered the city, cleaning up dust and fallen leaves.

To prevent it from decaying due to lack of human presence.

He occasionally stays there for a night.

The long night quietly passed.

The next morning, as Zhang Yuan left his house and exited the city, he distinctly sensed a slight tension in the air.

The number of guards at the city gate had increased.

But that was all there was to it.

It was perfectly normal.

Lai Wu’s tragic death would inevitably cause a negative impact within the county city.

Yet the impact would certainly be limited.

After all, Lai Wu was just a small figure; once he completed the dirty work, his utility value was virtually gone.

Both the Fierce Tiger Gang and the Four Great Families surely understood that Lai Wu’s death must have been the Furious Whale Gang’s retaliation!

But unless they were ready to go to full-scale war with the Linhai Sub-Branch, this incident would just end here.

Would the Fierce Tiger Gang and Four Great Families do that?

Not a chance!

Because the day after tomorrow is the day the three major forces escorting the Celestial Being to Qianfeng Mountain; unless the heads of the Fierce Tiger Gang and the Four Great Families were out of their minds, they wouldn’t go to war over someone like Lai Wu.

It was obvious that Yue Wuji was clear-headed in allowing Zhang Yuan three days to complete the mission.

As for what would happen when the Celestial Beings left, whether it be war or peace, that’s a whole other matter!

Zhang Yuan reported back to Whale Castle to report to Yue Wuji.

Upon seeing Zhang Yuan, the Hall Master of the Battle Hall revealed a delightful smile: "Well done."

The news of Lai Wu being killed had already reached Whale Castle by last night.

Naturally, Yue Wuji was well aware.

Zhang Yuan successfully completing the task fell precisely within the expectations of the Hall Master of the Battle Hall.

What surprised him, however, was Zhang Yuan’s method of dealing with Lai Wu.

The deterrence was too strong!

Now among the Fierce Tiger Gang, except for a few powerful experts, everyone was on edge.

Terrified they might end up like Lai Wu, with their heads suddenly blown to bits.

Not knowing how they died!

"No wonder you went to change for the Iron-Clad Bow, with archery skills this strong."

Yue Wuji applauded and praised: "Even a Tier Three Transformation Realm might not pull that off!"

The Hall Master of the Battle Hall was evidently very curious and further inquired Zhang Yuan about the detailed process of sniping Lai Wu.

Zhang Yuan naturally recounted everything truthfully.

There was nothing to hide.

After all, he used Innate Divine Power to explain the Host’s Power, so no one’s suspicions were raised.

"Not bad!"

After hearing it, Yue Wuji praised, "Brave and wise, among the rising talents of Furious Whale, you are undoubtedly the first!"

Zhang Yuan modestly replied, "It was just a stroke of luck, Master."

The thunderous arrow from last night indeed carried elements of luck.

Yue Wuji shook his head: "That wasn’t luck."

"Merit should be rewarded."

After a pause, the Hall Master of the Battle Hall kindly asked, "Zhang Yuan, what reward do you seek?"

It was clear his mood was exceptionally good.

Zhang Yuan’s heart moved: "Master, if I could receive guidance from you in martial arts, that would be the best!"

Yue Wuji was taken aback, then laughed heartily: "No problem!"
