Star Iron, my clone is taking over Onpharos

"Ok."

Bai Yuan nodded.

Besides her journey to pursue the fire, Xia Die also has to handle some funeral arrangements in Ohma. Even though people die every day in Ohma due to the constant onslaught of the Black Tide, Xia Die still has a lot of work to do.

After Xia Die left, Bai E patted Bai Yuan on the shoulder.

"Brother, let's start training."

Wan Di looked down at Bai Yuan.

"Before training begins, I need to check your physical fitness. Here, there's a barbell over there. Try lifting it and see how strong you are."

"I understand." Bai Yuan walked to the barbell that Wan Di had pointed to, preparing to pick it up and start testing his strength.

He had just manipulated his clone to kill a Heavenly Punishment Hunter and a Heavenly Punishment Warrior, absorbing some of their power. Bai Yuan wanted to test his current strength.

Seeing that there were four barbells here, Bai Yuan started with the smallest one and easily lifted it with his outstretched arms.

Bai E and Wan Di remained expressionless. If he couldn't lift this weight, he shouldn't bother practicing martial arts.

Baek Yuan went to get the second smallest barbell and lifted it with ease.

Bai E smiled. This strength was already at the level of an ordinary warrior in Ohm. Considering that Bai Yuan was only fourteen years old, this talent was already quite remarkable.

"The first two were easy. I don't know if I can pick up the rest."

Walking to the second largest barbell, Bai Yuan took a deep breath and gripped it with both hands.

"rise!"

He gritted his teeth and lifted the barbell.

Wan Di also showed a satisfied expression this time. The strength required to lift this barbell was already something only a warrior of the Suspended Peak Clan could manage. For Bai Yuan, at fourteen years old, to be able to lift it was considered quite impressive even among the Suspended Peak Clan.

It is worth training.

Bai Yuan glanced at the last barbell and shook his head.

"I can't lift the last one."

"Hmm, knowing your limits and not pushing yourself to the point of injury, you did very well." Wan Di was even more satisfied with Bai Yuan's performance. After saying this, he didn't forget to glance at Bai E, "Unlike some guys, who were about to die during the competition, yet still stubbornly refused to admit defeat."

Bai Er pretended not to hear, walked over to the largest barbell, and picked it up with one hand to play with it.

"HKS!"

Wan Di cursed Bai E.

He asked Bai Yuan, "We've already made a rough assessment of your strength. What weapon do you want to use? With your strength, you can use most weapons; it just depends on your preference."

What are your preferences? What weapons do you use?

Bai Yuan's first thought was to use a scythe like his clone. But after thinking about it, he worried that his clone might cause too much trouble and arouse suspicion, so he decided to use a different weapon for the time being.

"Wan Di, I want to use a bow and arrow."

He planned to use ranged attacks for the time being, so that Yue*yi's first attack would be safer.

Furthermore, he learned archery from the Heavenly Punishment Hunter, which made learning archery much easier for him.

"Bow and arrow? Take one and try shooting." Seeing Bai Yuan say he wanted to use a bow and arrow, Wan Di pointed to the weapon rack and said to Bai Yuan.

Bai Yuan walked to the weapon rack and picked up a stiff bow. Following the experience taught by the Heavenly Punishment Hunter, he flicked the bowstring with his fingers to test its stiffness and tension. Feeling it was suitable, he casually placed the stiff bow diagonally in front of his thigh, arrows pointing downwards.

Seeing Bai Yuan's actions, Wan Di and Bai E looked somewhat surprised.

"Come on, you shoot one."

Wan Di said to Bai Yuan.

"it is good."

Bai Yuan drew his bow, nocked an arrow, and shot it at the target over a hundred meters away on the training ground.

With a whoosh, the arrow flew out and struck the target precisely. After hitting the target with this arrow, Bai Yuan quickly picked up two more arrows and shot them at the target in turn.

All three shots hit.

Bai Yuan's face lit up with pride. He turned to Wan Di and Bai E and asked, "How was my archery?"

Bai E walked over and patted Bai Yuan's shoulder, saying, "If I hadn't confirmed that you were human, I would have really thought you were a Divine Retribution Hunter in disguise."

“Nicardoli’s henchmen don’t have this kind of disguise ability.” Wan Di looked at Bai Yuan: “Where did you learn your archery skills? This is a standard attack stance for the Heavenly Punishment Hunter.”

"Yesterday, I was chased by that cursed hunter and shot by it several times. That's how I saw and learned its archery techniques."

"You learned archery techniques this way?"

Bai E and Wan Di exchanged a glance, somewhat incredulous.

At this moment, Wan Di casually picked up a long spear and then picked up another long spear and threw it to Bai Yuan.

"Come on, try to imitate my marksmanship."

Wan Di demonstrated a spear technique against Bai Yuan.

After he finished, he looked at Bai Yuan.

"Come on, you try out this marksmanship."

"I……"

Wan Di's gun technique looked simple, but it was too fast, and Bai Yuan could only remember a rough outline.

So Bai Yuan, following his memory, imitated Wan Di's spear technique and began to swing his spear.

Watching him finish executing this set of marksmanship, both Wan Di and Bai E couldn't help but shake their heads.

“No, your memory of this marksmanship is nowhere near as good as your previous shooting skills.” Wan Di walked up to Bai Yuan: “I think there are probably two possibilities.”

"What's possible?"

Bai Yuan asked Wan Di curiously.

At this moment, Wan Di raised the spear in his hand.

"The first possibility is that you don't have the same deep memory of this marksmanship as the Heavenly Punishment Hunter's shooting technique. The Heavenly Punishment Hunter's arrows hurt you, which is why you remember them so clearly. If you want to remember this marksmanship more deeply, you can use this method."

As Wan Di spoke, he was about to stab Bai Yuan.

"Hey, hey, hey, this is too dangerous!"

Bai Yuan quickly dodged.

Wan Di stepped forward, gun in hand.

"Don't you have an immortal body? Just take two bullets and you can test my hypothesis."

Chapter 14 Xia Die: Bai Yuan, may I give you a massage? [Fourth Update]

"It seems that this method of learning marksmanship is ineffective."

Wan Di looked at the spear in his hand, then at Bai Yuan who was clutching his stomach, and said with some regret.

Bai E, standing to the side, nodded with a smug look on his face: "Yeah, otherwise I feel that Bai Yuan's speed is still very fast after his strength improves."

"I don't want this kind of method to improve my strength," Bai Yuan said, clutching his stomach with a bitter expression.

He couldn't tell Wan Di Bai E how he obtained the Heavenly Punishment Hunter Archery Technique, so in order to test Wan Di's conjecture, Wan Di mercilessly shot Bai Yuan twice.

As a result, Bai Yuan naturally took two shots for nothing, and his marksmanship didn't improve much.

Let Wan Di and Bai E witness Bai Yuan's immortality.

"Its recovery is worse than mine, but considering that it can ignore the curse of the Butterfly of the Void, it can indeed play a significant role in reclaiming the flame of Cenatos," Wan Di thought to himself.

"Wan Di, can you tell me your other guess now?" Bai Yuan felt the pain in his stomach had subsided a little, and then asked Wan Di.

"Another possibility is that you, Bai Yuan, have a natural talent for shooting. So you can learn shooting techniques just by looking at them."

Wan Di's words made Bai E nod in agreement.

"This is the most likely possibility."

As he spoke, Bai E scratched his head in frustration. He said to Wan Di, "Wan Di, do you know how to train archery? Bai Yuan's shooting skills are at least equivalent to the Heavenly Punishment Hunter. I don't have any way to train his archery skills."

"Hmph, there's no such word as 'not knowing' in the dictionary of Suspended Peak City." Wan Di crossed his arms.

Bai Yuan's eyes lit up, and he looked at Wan Di expectantly, wanting to see what good methods he had for training archery skills.

Bai E and Bai Yuan watched as Wan Di walked to the table, picked up a pen from the table, and drew a circle on his chest.

"There is no better way to train archery than in actual combat. Come on, Bai Yuan, shoot me in the chest."

After Wan Di finished speaking, he began to move at high speed. At a distance of fifty meters from Bai Yuan, he began to repeatedly jump sideways.

Bai Yuan hesitated slightly, and Wan Di's reprimanding voice came: "Hurry up and shoot. If you don't shoot, I'll attack you."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yuan naturally dared not hesitate any longer. He quickly raised his bow and arrow and shot it at Wan Di.

Several arrows were fired, but none of Bai Yuan's attacks hit their mark. This was to be expected; Bai Yuan's archery skills were only at the level of a Heavenly Punishment Hunter, and his arm strength was even worse than that of a Heavenly Punishment Hunter. If Wan Di could be easily shot by a Heavenly Punishment Hunter, he would be humiliated even if he didn't die.

"Hurry up, go faster! Your reaction time isn't fast enough, and your predictions aren't accurate enough."

While dodging Bai Yuan's arrows by leaping left and right, Wan Di scolded Bai Yuan.

Bai Yuan shot the arrow with all his might.

This teaching method has proven to significantly improve archery skills.

As the shooting continued, Bai Yuan's aim became increasingly accurate. Finally, when Xia Die arrived, Bai Yuan's arrow grazed Wan Di's chest, leaving a shallow wound.

"Not bad, Bai Yuan, that was a really accurate shot." Bai E gave Bai Yuan a thumbs up from the side.

"Indeed, your archery skills have improved quite a bit." Wan Di patted his chest, offering words of encouragement to Bai Yuan for his progress.

"Bai Yuan, are you planning to practice your archery skills?" Xia Die asked, her eyes filled with curiosity as she watched Bai Yuan shoot an arrow.

“Yes, I’ve discovered I have a real talent for archery.” Bai Yuan nodded, raising his bow and arrow with a smile. “Besides, the greater the distance, the safer I can be.”

"Bai Yuan, your consideration is indeed very good. With us here, you can focus on shooting arrows from behind." Xia Die agreed with Bai Yuan's idea.

Xia Die didn't expect Bai Yuan to have the combat power of a Golden Descendant. She only hoped that Bai Yuan could protect himself during battle. Xia Die would do her best to handle the rest.

Bai E crossed his arms behind his head and walked to the side: "Since you're here, Xia Die, it seems we've trained long enough. Let's go, Wan Di, you're tired today, let's go back and rest."

"What did you do today?" Wan Di asked Bai E irritably. Then he turned to Bai Yuan: "Bai Yuan, today's training results were very good. Tomorrow at this time, you will also train at today's time."

"I understand, Teacher Wan Di."

After working so hard to train me today, Bai Yuan naturally has to give me the title of "Wan Di" (meaning "one-man army").

"You don't need to call me teacher, just call me Wan Di." Wan Di looked a little uncomfortable being called teacher, and he looked at Bai Yuan to stop him from calling him teacher.

After saying that, he turned and left without waiting for Bai Yuan's reply.

After Bai E and Wan Di left, Xia Die looked at Bai Yuan with a gentle smile on her face: "Bai Yuan, let's go back and rest too."

"Let's go."

Bai Yuan and Xia Die walked towards the marble market.

However, after walking a short distance, Bai Yuan's face showed a pained expression. He hadn't felt it while training intensely, but now that he relaxed, the soreness in his arm muscles came over him instantly.

Even if his body can recover, it will take some time.

Xia Die watched from behind, a look of tension on her face. Then, seeing the trembling of his arms, Xia Die understood the source of Bai Yuan's pain.

"Bai Yuan, is your arm sore?"

"Yes." Bai Yuan looked at the bench on the side and said to Xia Die, "Xia Die, shall we rest for a while before going back?"

The butterfly nodded.

The two sat on a bench, and Bai Yuan awkwardly realized that while sitting on the bench, Xia Die's feet could touch the ground normally, while his sandals were suspended in mid-air, still some distance from the ground.

When will I grow taller?

Xia Die's gaze remained fixed on Bai Yuan. After hesitating for a moment, she spoke to Bai Yuan, "Bai Yuan, do you need me to give you a massage? I've seen others do it, but I've never tried it myself."

"Okay."

Only a fool would refuse a massage from a beautiful girl. Bai Yuan turned around, presenting his back to Xia Die.

Xia Die was delighted to see Bai Yuan agree. She stretched out both hands and gently placed them on Bai Yuan's shoulders, then slowly began to massage them.

"How are you? Does it hurt?"
