The hero I support will definitely defeat the devil

As the other party loosened his hand, the hunting bow that was originally arrowless seemed to shoot out an invisible arrow.

The wind continued to flow and the space stopped shaking.

It's like nothing happened.

But Ilsa knew very well that it was not that nothing had happened, but that it had already happened.

At that moment, she did feel a sense of disharmony.

When an archer first begins practicing, he or she will shoot at a fixed target over and over again.

Over time, the fixed target will get farther and smaller.

After reaching a certain point, the fixed target will become a moving target, and will continue to get farther and smaller.

When you can hit an irregularly moving target at will, you can be considered a successful archer.

But it's just the beginning.

If you want to become a strong archer, you can't just train yourself by shooting at some targets.

In a real battle, the targets can change at any time, and there are living and dead objects, and some are not even objects.

Therefore, the most important thing for an archer is accuracy.

So how accurate can an archer be?

The owner of the shop gave the answer.

That was the archery skill that was elevated to the limit after defeating the Demon King.

The opponent shoots invisible arrows at invisible objects.

In that instant just now, the opponent seized the gap in time and hit the gap accurately with an invisible arrow.

The disharmony that Ilsa felt was the moment when time stood still, caused by the invisible arrow of the shop owner.

Being able to stop time with archery, even if only for a moment, was enough to prove that her archery skills had reached the divine realm.

Chapter 359 Believe in Yourself

"How about it?"

The owner of the shop looked at Ilsa.

"How about what?"

Ilsa came back to her senses from the shock of the arrow just now.

She looked at the other person with a strange expression, as if he was expecting something.

"You don't think I can learn the archery technique to reach the divine realm like this, do you?"

"Is there any difference between you and me? There's no reason why you can't learn what I can do?"

The shop owner spoke as a matter of course, as if he didn't think Ilsa couldn't learn it.

"Are you serious?"

Ilsa pointed at her and then at herself.

"What's your talent? What's my talent? Do you really think you can learn it from me?"

Ilsa was not bragging. Her current master-level archery skills were definitely a good match among humans. Even the earls would spend a lot of money to invite her to be the martial arts teacher of their eldest or second son. If she wanted to open a martial arts school, many businessmen and small nobles would be eager to send their children there.

Master level. This level of martial arts not only means the perfection of one's own martial arts, but also means that those who have reached this level are able to pass on their skills well.

But if this kind of archery skills is compared with another arrow from her divine realm, it is just like comparing fluorescence with the sun, there is no comparison at all.

"you can."

The owner of the shop said earnestly.

"My archery skills depend on talent, but more on confidence."

"confidence?"

Ilsa felt as if she had heard something incredible.

"It is faith, the faith you understand."

The shop owner put the worn-out bow back in place.

"What do you think is the next step after you master the moves?"

"use?"

There was a hint of doubt in Ilsa's tone.

"Yes, it is application."

The shop owner nodded.

“The application of skills lies in one’s heart.”

"Have you ever encountered such a situation? When you are full of confidence, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you can quickly overcome them, or stand up again after being knocked down. But when you lose confidence, no matter what you do, you will eventually fail."

"...Um."

Ilsa did encounter similar situations several times.

The most recent time was when she changed her job to a ranger. At that time, she was determined to become a ranger, and gave up the swordsman job change that she was able to achieve and started from scratch. Then she really succeeded, and it only took a very short time.

"Confidence is a very useful weapon for adventurers."

The shop owner muttered.

"And you just lack such confidence."

"I...."

Ilsa hesitated to speak.

Indeed, confidence is very important for an adventurer.

What she lacked was confidence.

But Ilsa is a rational person, and she rarely acts irrationally, except when it comes to Lisha.

And confidence sometimes requires some irrational self-belief.

Believe in your own hands, believe in your martial arts, and believe that you can do it.

Confidence in oneself is a quality that an adventurer must have.

Ilsa was not confident.

Because she realized her mediocrity too early, and also knew what genius was too early.

As a person with precocious intelligence, she could not "cheat" herself and could not trust her own martial arts.

If other people's skills reached the master level through talent, training and a flash of inspiration, then the reason why Ilsa became a master was that she accumulated archery skills through experience.

If ten years are not enough, then twenty years. If twenty years are not enough, then fifty years. If that doesn't work, then a hundred years. As long as she keeps practicing, one day Elsa will break through.

This is the limit of what a professional with a little bit of talent, but not much, can achieve through their efforts.

This was the case with the peak Silver Rank that Ilsa met.

There is no confidence in Ilsa's archery, only skills and precision that have been honed through thousands of years.

She didn't believe she could hit the target, but the almost instinctive skills that had been engraved in her muscles and bones would help Ilsa complete this master-level archery.

This kind of archery is indeed the most suitable for teaching others, because the threshold is low and the key lies in practice.

"My archery skills were not much different from other archery skills at first, but after fighting the Demon King, I have realized it. The key to archery is to hit the target."

The shop owner chuckled.

"How do you hit the target? Of course, you have to believe that every arrow you shoot will hit the enemy."

“Draw the bow, shoot the arrow, and trust it.”

"Um...is this really okay?"

Ilsa was hesitant about this.

It's no wonder she was hesitant, because what the other party said was really too mysterious.

"The first step is to believe. If you can't do it, it won't work."

The shop owner said with a smile.

"I really can't do that."

Ilsa is such a realistic person.

“But you still came here to look for opportunities.”

The owner of the shop said so.

"I just want to catch up with Lisha."

Ilsa murmured.

"Yes, that's the unwillingness!"

The shop owner nodded with satisfaction.

"This unwillingness drives you to become stronger, and it is also the first step for you to believe in yourself."

"Can I?"

Ilsa looked down at her hands.

Hadn't she accepted this fact a long time ago?

The fact that she is mediocre and has no talent.

"You still have hope, otherwise you wouldn't be here. If you really accepted the reality, you should have given up and returned home long ago. With your current strength and wealth, as long as you don't encounter a demonic disaster, you will definitely be able to live a leisurely and prosperous life."

The owner of the shop looked very serious.

"Get out your bow and arrows."

Ilsa did as she was told subconsciously.

Although she couldn't change anything just now, Ilsa took out a longbow and arrow from behind her.

“Feel it for yourself.”

The shop owner said as he raised his hand and tapped lightly.

Ilsa drew her bow and shot an arrow at a haystack not far from the door.

The arrow flew out slowly and landed in the center of the haystack in a beautiful arc.

"How does it feel?"

The shop owner asked her after influencing Ilsa to shoot this seemingly ordinary arrow.

“It’s a wonderful feeling.”

After shooting the arrow, Ilsa began to understand what the other party said.

"The arrow seems to have life. My confidence is the command. It will faithfully go to the destination I have spoken."

"Remember the feeling just now, you will learn it later."

The shop owner is very confident about this.

"Only you can master such archery skills."

Ilsa shook her head slightly.

Only she, who has always been winning, can be so confident, firmly believing that her archery skills are the best, and that there is no target that the arrows she shoots cannot achieve.

This was a state that was unimaginable for someone like Ilsa, who had experienced more failures than victories.

Chapter 360 Different Changes

"You can do it, too. If you really don't believe in yourself, then believe in me. Believe in me who believes in you. If I say you can do it, then you can do it."

The shop owner, whose tone had always been gentle, even soft, suddenly became overbearing and tough.
