Demon Bow

Ouyang, a gifted marksman at a modern-world shooting academy, dies in an accident and is transported to a foreign continent where strength is measured by "power" and "demon cores." Four great nations stand here, and Dayun and Xichi are locked in fierce war. Ouyang, a youth from Kaoshan Village, and his friend Li Wei are conscripted into the army and sent to the battlefield. He has no superior talent and no awe-inspiring aura of a conqueror; his only distinctions are a demon core of mysterious origin and an innate, terrifying eye and archery skill—piercing a gold coin from five hundred paces, loosing four arrows from one bow without a single miss. On the path of the "demon warrior," an unconventional profession, he rewrites the course of battle arrow by arrow through precise anticipation, calm battlefield insight, and the strange abilities the demon core grants him, earning the name Terminator of Geniuses. As his cultivation rises level by level, he climbs the training tiers of the True Spirit Realm and ascends to the immortal realm, drawn into a larger vortex of the age; he befriends companions such as the state preceptor Chu Xianghe and grows through one narrow escape after another. The book uses the bow as its primary weapon and emphasizes the plain, hot-blooded feeling of "a weapon growing alongside its master." It is a long work completed in 2011–2012 on Qidian Chinese Network's Eastern fantasy channel, about 2.4 million characters and 850 chapters.
