After fusing and evolving my 'Bowmanship', my use of 'Thunder Style, Arrow' became much more lethal and effective as I could integrate the 'Multishot' concept to my arrows showing a double as effective AoE (Area of Effect)!

Of course, after a few more gates, the tactic of just relying on my 'Bowmanship' fell through, and I could only use an exchange style, using both the bow and the sword, acting as if I were two fighters in one.

Through this way, I was able to burn through a few more gates before stopping once again as efficiency kept on decreasing due to the nature of underground hall gates...

{ TARGET 56/100 }

In a way, this way of grinding coincided with my own plans for training in this gate, its nature which helped me train without leaving destruction behind and with an almost 100% guarantee that no one would disturb my training only acted as more of an incentive.

As such, it was time to take it further into my revitalization plan, step 3, to apply the elemental concepts on different weapons!

The main target would obviously be exchanging concepts between the arrow and the sword, only then could I truly use the exchange style without the quality of the energy posing a problem, moreover, once I upgraded my 'Arrow Energy' to 'Arrow Ki', the lethal effect would only escalate, producing an AoE attack that could deal some serious damage!

In all sense of trueness, I could still power through a good chunk of the gates left, but not only would I run out of time, I would also lose the opportunity to train my elemental weapon fusion which I prepared for possible future battles against corruption, in that case, a Ki powered 'Arrow Rain' supported by 'Multishot' would probably be very effective against a grand number of mobs!

Regarding the concept exchange, I pretty much had an idea on how to make it work, but that was all in theory, it was time to test it out experimentally!

I held 'Lightning Cloud' with both hands as I closed my eyes and concentrated my lightning elements into it, as I went deep into thoughts…

'Lightning strikes instantaneously, sharply and terrifyingly, disappearing at the next second and only leaving behind destruction of fear. On the other hand, Thunder always appears after Lightning, it's slower, and mostly not destructive, yet it spreads far, giving Lightning its grandiose majesty…'

'Lightning is sharp, fast, and destructive, while Thunder is its follower and also its army!'

'Now!'

My eyes opened up suddenly as lightning streaked through them, as the lightning infused into the sword changed to thunder unknowingly, producing aggressive waves of 'Sword Ki'...

The 'Sword Ki' started to form multiple shapes around the 'Lightning Cloud' as they flew away as if projectiles, finally changing to lightning once again before it hit the target rock!

Roarrrr!

'Thunder & Lightning Style, Sword Rain'!

The thundering roar filled the hall as if announcing its new found profoundness, but that was just the beginning!
