I mastered the Still Waters technique, which allows for perfect stillness to expose enemy weaknesses. After failing a long-distance fire arrow revenge shot on an old boss, I defeated Feng in a shooting contest with a perfect score.
Our farewell was interrupted when Ruby spotted Beard Guang's crew and ran ahead for a storybook, forcing me to clear out enemies and hunt for resources along the path to keep up with her.
After Feng gifted me the manuscript on archery techniques, I immediately set to work mastering them. I learned a technique called Still Waters, which allowed me to achieve a state of perfect stillness. This skill exposed my prey's weaknesses, and I tested it out right away to see the difference it made in my precision.
I spotted the tough boss who had killed me in seconds during our last encounter. I tried to take my revenge from a distance by shooting fire arrows at him, but the gap was just too wide. Even with my new skills, the arrows couldn't reach him from that far away.
Feng challenged me to a shooting contest to test my progress. I had to hit more targets than him within a limited time. I ended up completely outperforming him, winning the match with a perfect 4-0 score. It felt great to show him that his training was already paying off.
After the training session, Feng expressed his appreciation. He seemed genuinely impressed by my character's dedication and thanked me for practicing with him. It was a nice moment of mutual respect before we prepared to part ways.
The goodbye was cut short when Ruby suddenly spotted Beard Guang and his crew on the horizon. She was desperate to get her storybook, so she ran toward them to be at front of the line to buy it.
The game then transitioned into a beautiful cinematic sequence. I watched as several pupils passed by with wagons, creating a peaceful and lived-in atmosphere. There was even a tiny yellow bird in the scene that added a delicate touch to the overall visuals.
I had to follow Ruby as she hurried ahead, but several enemies blocked my path. I couldn't let them interfere, so I stepped in and took them all down quickly so I wouldn't lose sight of her.
Further along the trail, I spotted some deer grazing in the brush. I decided to see if I could use my new archery skills to hunt them for loot. It turned out I could, so I took them down and collected their valuables to help fund my journey.
That's all for now.
