Chapter 10: The Physical Pearl Takes Shape, The Spiritual Pearl Expands Its Seal (4)

  Shangguan Bing'er sat under a large tree ten meters away from Zhou Weiqing, took off the package behind her back, and took out dry rations and water to eat.

  Zhou Weiqing gasped for a while, his breathing gradually evened out, but he didn't have any dry rations on him. Seeing Xue Bing above eating and drinking, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva and walk over.

  "Captain, me too."

  Shangguan Bing'er looked at the greedy look in this guy's eyes and snorted, but ignored him.

  "General, you don't even give us food to eat, I'm not leaving," Zhou Weiqing said. As he spoke, he plopped himself down beside Shangguan Xue'er, leaning against the same large tree as her, his nose filled with the faint, refreshing scent emanating from her body. Although his stomach was empty, it was still very comfortable.

  Shangguan Bing'er shifted her body, moving a bit further away from him, still eating at a leisurely pace. She didn't believe that Zhou Weiqing wouldn't come to beg for mercy. This guy was like a piece of tough meat, impossible to cook or boil, and if she didn't teach him a lesson, how could he listen to her in the future? She didn't think that Zhou Xiaopang's robust physique would be affected by skipping two meals.

  At the moment when Shangguan Yinger was secretly pleased with herself, thinking that she had succeeded in her plan, suddenly, Zhou Weiqing's ears moved slightly, and the next moment, his body sprang up like a leopard cat, flashing into the forest.

  "What are you doing?" Shangguan Bing'er was startled in her heart and also stood up with him.

  "I'm going to find something to eat." Zhou Weiqing threw down this sentence as he disappeared into the forest.

  Shangguan Bing'er was taken aback for a moment, then quickly put away her dry rations and followed Zhou Weiqing into the forest. The reason she went along was that she didn't trust him, fearing that this guy might not keep his promise and run away. Another reason was that she was also very curious about how Zhou Weiqing would find food.

  Through these few days of contact, she has become more and more convinced that Zhou Xiaopang is of humble origin. Although there are not many good people among the nobility, they would not be like him, who is simply a despicable little rascal?

  Shangguan Bing'er unfolded her Twin Jewels Body ability, and her speed was much faster than Zhou Weiqing's. Although she wasn't as familiar with the Starry Sky Forest as Zhou Weiqing, relying on her hearing and exceptional speed, she easily caught up to him from behind.

  Only to see Zhou Weiqing's figure constantly shuttling and dodging in the forest, extremely agile. The most peculiar thing was that the cyan light on his body only flashed occasionally, but it was precisely this that made Shangguan Xue'er's heart violently tremble. She was a pure Agility-type Heavenly Jewel Master, with the most research on movement techniques. From Zhou Weiqing's actions, she clearly discovered that he would only use the Wind Attribute Heavenly Power when necessary, either to make himself jump higher or faster, all used to overcome some difficult obstacles. By doing so, not only could he maintain high speed, but also conserve his Heavenly Power as much as possible. Shangguan Xue'er naturally knew this method too, but Zhou Weiqing had only possessed Heavenly Power for a few days and already thought of such a way to control the Wind Attribute Heavenly Power and actually executed it. Shangguan Xue'er found that she was increasingly unable to see through him.

  Wu Cheng Qing advanced about a hundred meters into the forest when his body suddenly shot upwards, grabbing onto a branch and swinging up. The next moment, he was standing steadily on a thick branch, his right foot firmly lodged at the base of the branch, his left foot stepping on the thickest part of the branch. As he completed these movements, the longbow on his back had already been drawn into a full moon shape, with an arrow placed on the bowstring. The arrowhead quivered slightly, constantly adjusting its position.

  Extremely skilled archery. Shangguan Fei'er was shocked in her heart, she herself was a powerful Tianzhu bow and arrow master, and she was extremely familiar with the bow and arrow. She could clearly distinguish that just now when Zhou Weiqing did all this, he didn't use any abilities of his innate pearl. Such skilled drawing of the bow and coordination with the surrounding environment, just this point alone, already showed that he had the quality of an excellent archer. Even if he wasn't a Tianzhu master, relying solely on this skill, it was enough to stand out in the archery camp.

  At this moment, a sharp light flashed in Zhou Weiqing's eyes, and with a whoosh, the feather arrow shot out, flying towards the depths of the forest.

  But just at this moment, Shangguan Fei'er's hands moved in a ghostly manner, and a green light shot out from the Purple Star Bow. The arrow was overtaken by a faint green glow, which instantly caught up with Zhou Weiqing's arrow, deflecting it. Along with two soft thuds, the arrows simultaneously stuck into a nearby large tree.

  Zhou Weiqing's body almost subconsciously made a turn on the tree, and he slid down along the trunk of the Starlight Tree, his entire body hidden behind it.

  "You're still so afraid of death." Shangguan Bing'er said with a bad tone.

  Zhou Weiqing heard it was her, and only then did he stick his head out, heh-heh laughing: "Being afraid of death is human nature, what if they were the enemy? Beautiful Battalion Commander, you should be praising my vigilance! With a subordinate like me, don't you feel proud?"

  Shangguan Bing'er hummed, "That little rabbit is so cute, you actually want to kill it. With me around, I won't let you take its life."

  "Beauty Battalion Commander, are you going to let people live or not?! You won't give me your dry rations, I'm trying to find something to eat on my own, and you're still causing trouble, it's unreasonable!"

  I don't know why, but whenever Zhou Weiqing looked like this, Ou Yangying's heart would feel a strong sense of pleasure, and her pretty face would instantly reveal a hint of a triumphant smile. "You're so capable of finding food, right? As long as you don't kill anything, go ahead and find whatever you want."

  Zhou Weiqing emerged from behind the tree, his longbow slung over his back. He let out a sigh and said with a look of grievance: "Looks like we won't be having meat today. Beautiful Battalion Commander, I'm at a critical stage of growth, and being malnourished is just too pitiful!"

  "You're as strong as an ox, yet malnourished?" Shangguan Bing'er said with a bad tone. However, after finishing her sentence, her face turned red, Zhou Xiaopang's robustness was something she had personally experienced.

  However, what Guan Ice said was also correct. Since the awakening of his Birth Jewel, Zhou Weiqing not only grew taller but also looked more energetic and robust. The muscles under his military uniform seemed to be bursting with energy, as if he had endless strength. If measured from a soldier's perspective, he could already be considered an elite soldier in terms of physique. Compared to ordinary strong men, he was not inferior either. Don't forget, he was still under fourteen years old.

  Unfortunately, Zhou Weiqing did not see Xue Bing's face turn red with shyness, otherwise he would have felt even more pleased with himself. As he chatted with Xue Bing, he lowered his head to search for something on the ground, his hands deftly rummaging through the bushes, and in a short while, there were already over a dozen things that looked like bamboo shoots in his arms. He picked a few more large leaves from the Starlight Tree before finally standing up straight.

  "Beautiful battalion commander, can I eat these?" Zhou Weiqing asked with a serious expression.
