The Hidden Myth of Ji Dara

There were also smaller Qi Stones which numbered about twenty by the side;

"Master, was this the idea Elder Wang gave us two weeks ago?"

One of the workers asked in wonder as he gazed at the mini Qi Stones which were the size of a Ping Pong ball, and were glowing intensely;

"Be careful kid, that stone contains the power of a Peak Qi Creation stage, and if it explodes, it can deal the damage of a 2 Star Qi Sea stage, so be careful…" Elder Smith explained carefully… 

"Eh" The youth exclaimed in shock whilst the rest of the workers were also stunned by the reveal;

"Doesn't that mean that Tribe Leader can only kill 20 Qi Sea Stage experts with these?"

The youth once again asked curiously as Elder Smith mentally commended his desire for knowledge;

"No, silly brat…" He said with a smirk;

"These stones are for the amours and weapons themselves…"

Elder Smith revealed as he showed the workers the slot on the bow handle which was the perfect size for the disc like Qi Stone…

"Alright, let me demonstrate… You will all understand then…" Elder Smith then picked up the bow, and slotted one of the disc looking small Qi Stones into the spot where the bow was to be held;

"Look closely and listen attentively…"

"The flaws of the previous Qi weapons and Amours we made was that we had no way of measuring the amount of Qi they consume, and that is why I liaised with Elder Wang and we came up with this brilliant idea…"

"Firstly, this Qi Battery here as we called it is only 95% full, and once the Tribe Leader wields it, it would take another 5% of Qi from him, and mix it with the ones within it, and thus it registers the bow to the unique energy of the Tribe Leader, but as for this demonstration, I will be using mine…"

Elder Smith filled the Qi battery with his own Qi as the entire bow lit up like Rolls Royce headlamps, then he picked an arrow from the quiver and aimed it at the target where they usually test the sharpness of all their weapons; then he pulled and released;

Huala!

Bang!

The target was blasted away about ten meters;

"What!?"

"Impossible!?"

"That target is about 10,000 KG there is no way an ordinary Peak Qi Creation stage expert can make it move…"

"It had taken Elder Ting, Elder Long and the First Elder to carry it here and they could only manage that because they were all 1 Star Qi Sea Stage experts…"

"But how are you able to do it, Elder Yun?"

"If we all remember correctly you are at the Peak of Qi Creation Stage…" The Youth asked once again;

"Firstly, since the Qi in the Qi Stone has a burst power of a Peak Qi Creation stage, and I Pumped it with my own Peak Qi Creation stage power, what do you think the end result of that power level would be?" Elder Smith asked with a smile;

"About 2 Star Qi Sea Stage?" The Youth guessed;

"Correct, but it was only that because I possess a Peak Qi Creation stage power level; should Elder Long who is a 1 Star Qi Creation stage fire this arrow, then it would at least reach the 4 Star Qi Creation damage level…" Elder Smith revealed as everyone gasped;

"So what level is the Tribe Leader?" The youth asked with a curious whisper as Elder Smith smacked his head;

"No one knows; moreover, even if we did, we wouldn't tell, because it concerns the life of the Tribe Leader…"

"So, let this be the last time you will ask; and the same goes for everyone else as well, am I clear?"

"As Qi Stones, Master!" The workers chorused;

"Good… But I can tell you this, even if all the Elders combine to fight the Tribe Leader, we would still be unable to bring him down!"

Elder Smith spoke as the entire crowd gasped and began to whisper;

Elder Smith truly didn't know how much power Dara possessed, but he said what he said for two reasons, the first being that, he wanted to create a level of fear in the hearts of his workers that the Tribe Leader wasn't to be messed with…

Secondly; he had heard from the rest of the Ji Tribe members of how Dara had faced, massacred the three leaders of the former Ji Tribe whilst battling their prodigy and fending off several warriors simultaneously...

From those facts alone, he could tell that all the current Elders would stand no chance against him, because not only were they weaker than those Elders, they were also less vicious, scheming and shrewd;

Thus, it would at take Min Hong only half the effort he put into that battle to finish them off if he wanted…

Though, this doesn't classify to only his Cultivation Base, because Elder Smith is also experienced enough to know that there are other factors as to why Dara managed that, otherwise, wouldn't that make him the strongest expert in all of the Dark and Grey Lands?

"Alright, pipe down folks…" Elder Smith drew their attention back to himself;

"This next part is the interesting part!"

Elder Smith added with a smug grin; this part that he was about to display came from his own theoretical idea, and this is the moment that would tell if it worked or not;

He held the bow towards the direction of the arrow which was on the ground about 8 meter away and blurted;

"Reverse!"

..!

All the workers expected something to happen, but nothing did;

"Eh!?" Elder Smith was stunned;

"Come back!"

He blurted again, but nothing happened, and now the workers were beginning to think that he was simply bluffing, but Elder Smith simply snorted;

"Hmph! Retrieve!"

Whoosh!

Right before all of their eyes, the workers saw the arrow light up and return to the bow instantly as Elder Smith caught it and nocked it once again, ready to fire it the second time…

"What!?"

"No way!?"

"That's impossible!"

The workers all exclaimed in different manners and words as they blinked their eyes like they have just seen the stuff of the legends; Hell, even their Legends and Myths down here doesn't possess such law bending features;

"Hmph! Can you mundane minds comprehend what is possible in the field of forgery!?"

Elder Smith bellowed with authority as an aura of a master descended on him through the ventilated roof, surrounding him in a unique glow of light as all the workers went silent and bowed their heads slightly, unwilling to look at him in the eye…

Though no one knew the phenomenon that just occurred, not even Elder Smith himself, but Long who was far away within the depths of Min Hong's consciousness could sense it...
