Sam felt like the most straightforward method is brute force.
When he used the observation ability on the mirrors, he noticed the effects of his attacks.
From the image, the mirror didn’t seem like it is damaged, but the structure inside the mirror is clearly damaged.
Sam just kept the observation ability activated and threw another attack, he could still see new cracks appearing inside the structure, they are small and insignificant, but the damage would definitely accumulate.
From what he knew, that might as well be the method of cracking.
But Sam observed something else.
That is the mirror is not exactly a solid thing. In fact, it is not even a proper mirror. It is some sort of illusion device. The arrow image is actually a projection of the arrow that is coming from outside, one side will be projecting the image, and the rest of the reflections.
But now with his observation ability, Sam noticed that this solid mirror wall is actually changing a bit and letting the arrow go through it.
With this change, Sam can easily find out which direction the arrow is coming from.
He couldn’t help but smile a bit and took out a bow.
It is a longbow with a black body. The handle of the bow is a circular rod. Sam held that and inserted his fingers into the holes on the handle. He injected the spiritual energy through the fingers and the bow glowed a bit.
He didn’t open his eyes all this time as he just stood there and drew the string of the bow without the arrow. He pulled the string all the way and released it.
*BING*
The air in the surroundings exploded with a loud sound as waves of wind hit the coming arrows and made them fall on the ground.
Sam smiled and let the shadows disappear all while his eyes are closed.
He took out an arrow and nocked it on the bow as he just stood there.
After three seconds, he drew the bow and shot the arrow and within a flash, he took another arrow and shot in the same direction.
The first arrow shot towards the mirror wall and clashed with an arrow that was just coming through it.
The two arrows destroyed together and there came a small window in which the wall remained in the state in which the arrow can pass through. The second arrow, Sam shot entered the place and it passed through the wall.
Sam couldn’t find where the other guy is nor does he know if the arrow hit successfully.
But he once again nocked his bow and started shooting.
Sam’s hand moved so fast that one could only see after images as continuously shot the arrows.
Meanwhile, outside the mirror wall. A human silhouette is trying its best to shoot arrows and dodge the incoming arrows at the same time.
Now, the situation reversed. The person shooting from the arrows from outside, only has one duty, to attack the person inside and try to kill them no matter what happens. He cannot stop shooting arrows no matter what.
But now that became secondary to him as every time he shot arrows, he has to try his best to dodge and be safe.
Even before he could move and save himself, he was already being targeted by much faster arrows.
At first, it is only one arrow, but Sam is actually getting better at finding the timing and started attacking more and more. Now he can even shoot two arrows in that small window and the opponent has to dodge twice.
The only silver lining for the opponent is that the mirror wall is still there.
But what he doesn’t know or to be more precise what he couldn’t find out due to him trying so hard to dodge and save his own ass is that the walls are about to crash.
The structure of the wall is extremely damaged and the reason for that is the wind wave that is coming out of the bow every time Sam shot and the second reason is, everything Sam attacked the arrows that are coming out of the wall and exploded the enemy’s arrow along with it, destroying the structure directly.
The wall becomes weaker and weaker with every single attack.
Within ten minutes, their situation changed and it is still changing. After another three minutes, Sam halted his attacks, he once again called the shadows to block the shadow as he aimed his bow at the wall straight.
The opponent who is outside taking the opportunity of the sudden interval and tried his best to attack Sam from the same position.
But Sam just started injecting his spiritual energy into his arrow as he aimed at the wall.
He stayed like that for a whole minute, which made the opponent feel weird. He finally managed to think with his dumb skull to check the wall and the results are not exactly what he wanted to see.
Before he could react, Sam released his arrow. The pure spiritual energy-filled arrow loaded with the void-style waves created an explosion on the contact with the wall and created a large hole.
Sam once again loaded another arrow and shot through the hole before shifting his inserted fingers a bit and the longbow turned into recurve bow.
The bow went through some clicking sounds as a glowing pattern appeared on it.
Sam once again loaded the arrow and shot in a different direction.
All three shots are made within a second.
The first arrow exploded with the wall, the second one went through and the third arrow hit the second arrow and changed its direction as it shot in another direction.
*ARGH*
The opponent couldn’t even react in time to think what is happening exactly and the arrow directly lodged itself into his throat.
Sam stored his arrow away and took a swig of his wine as he reappeared on the platform.
Even though it felt like a long time has gone by, it is a little over fifteen minutes in the first checkpoint.
Sam once again took off with his harbinger as he zoomed past.
Meanwhile, Hou Yi really wanted to curse someone at this moment. He didn’t expect that the first checkpoint would be over this fast. It is actually made so that it would take at least an hour or two to crosses this point since the start of their journey in the path.
But it was over in half an hour for Sam and from the looks of it, the rest of his friends are also going to finish it in a few more minutes.
He doesn’t feel right. Because the Palace of inheritance is also about their name and face within the group.
After all, being immortals they don’t have anything else to do other than squabble and bicker and they also gossip a lot. Their game with these players has spread all over the realms and if they came to knew that player of another god cleared his Palace of inheritance in a few hours, he would lose his face.
Hou Yi himself is a person who cared too much about superficial things. He is cruel, ruthless but all of that is a way for him to enhance the pompous side of his so that he could feel glad and satisfied with himself when others respect him due to the fear of his cruelty.
Even his wife Changge left him because of this.
Now, Sam is just trying to get back at Hou Yi, but what he doesn’t know is, he is ruffling the feathers of a stupidly irritating bird.
He just proceeded with the journey as he dealt with the arrows that are coming at him without much effort and in another fifteen minutes, he landed on the second platform.
He once again disappeared and felt like he lost his footing.
He could feel a faint breeze hitting his face and a wooden smell.
He is currently standing on top of a bamboo pole on a single foot.
There is nothing in his surroundings except for the bamboo poles and at a distance, another guy in black is standing on the bamboo pole with a bow in his hands.
Sam looked around and as far as he can see all of this filled with bamboo poles. They are everywhere but not two poles are close enough to each other such that he can stand with two legs.
He has to balance while fighting.
He looked down only to see that there is an abyss down below.
At this moment, the familiar voice entered his ears.
"In this checkpoint, you have to fight the opponent on those bamboo poles. Here you cannot use any form of external device or instrument to fly and that includes the stupid board you are using to cover the distance easily.
Even your beasts are not allowed to come out of that divine dimension.
If you fall down, I might be able to save you, but still, accidents happen, so I request you to try your best to defeat your opponent without killing yourself."
Sam obviously noticed the displeasure in the voice, but he doesn’t give a shit, he once again took out his bow and got ready to fight.
