Legend of the Great Sage

Chapter 25: 25

Grandpa Zang was finally shocked . “Natural superhuman strength!?” Then he shook his head . “I forgot . You practise external martial arts, so its nothing out of the ordinary for you to have slightly greater strength!”

“You wont be able to shoot arrows with just strength . Take it . ” Grandpa Zang removed the hunting bow from his back and tossed it to Li Qingshan .

“This is grandpa Zangs ox horn bow . It has the force of a stone!” Grandpa Zang was purposefully making things difficult for this kid . Drawing a bow was different from tossing some stone dumbbells .

A stone was sixty kilograms . Regular hunting bows did not pursue power but greater accuracy and dexterity . Bows with such a heavy draw weight were rare . Even if a heavier draw weight came with greater power, the accuracy and shooting speed of the bow would be horrible unless the archer could control it properly .

If they came across a vicious beast in the mountains, they would miss their first shot . Before they could fire their second, the beast would have arrived already . They would only end up dead . However, all the hunters who could handle a bow with such a heavy draw weight were marksmen . It was nothing difficult for them to hunt tigers or leopards in the mountains .

Li Qingshan weighed the bow in his hands . This was a superior oak wood bow, wrapped in beast hide and then silk . Its bowstring was made from cow sinew, so it was light yet extremely powerful .
