Xu Lin put on simple hand guards, took a deep breath, rotated his breath a few tis, his gaze cleared a bit, and he casually picked up a 30-pound bow.
He wasnt particularly strong, so if he exaggerated and couldnt even pull the bowstring properly, it would be embarrassing.
Can we use the 30-tre target? If you feel unsure, we can switch to the 18-tre one.
Zhang Qingzhen glanced at him with a faint smile on his lips, calmly adjusting the bowstring, appearing very confident.
Sure, but Mr. Zhang, please go easy on .
Of course, of course.
He nodded, watching Xu Lins not-so-professional technique, instantly feeling more confident in himself.
Xu Lin took a deep breath, realising he hadnt used a traditional recurve bow many tisno stabiliser, no sight.
Looking at the target set up in the distance, a 122cm full target paper with a 10-ring diater of only 12.2cm using a full target at this distance was already quite accommodating to him.
Although 12cm wasnt small and 30 tres wasnt particularly far, hitting the 10-ring wasnt easy, let alone with a traditional bow.
Nervous, Xiao Xu?
Dont be nervous; just make sure you win for .
At this mont, after finishing her competition with her sister, Chu Fengyi, with a smile on her face, obviously regaining her confidence, she walked over, jumped up, and patted his shoulder.
Why do you think I can win? I hardly know how to shoot arrows.
I think you can win because I dread of you shooting arrows yesterday.
Dream of ?
Xu Lin widened his eyes, and Chu Fengyi was also taken aback, realizing she had said too much. Imdiately, she cleared her throat. Dont make up things! Many people appear in dreams; that doesnt an its about you.
Its just that the scene was you competing and winning. Now go, dont embarrass Master.
Arent dreams usually the opposite?
Anyway, I feel you can win. The master trusts you so much; work hard.
After Chu Fengyi finished, she turned and returned to her seat, picked up the water cup, and gulped down half of it, still feeling a bit confused.
How did she casually ntion yesterdays dream just now?
But its quite a coincidence. Yesterday in the dream, Xu Lin was wearing handso ancient clothing, competing in archery with many people.
Then he shot the target from afar, and there were many familiar faces saying sothing.
But she had almost forgotten everything, only rembering Xu Lin shooting arrowsvery cool!
So she passive-aggressively felt Xu Lin could shoot arrows. Chu Fengyi, is there sothing wrong with your head?
At this mont, Xu Lin also snapped out of Chu Fengyis strange words just now, but looking at the bow in his hand, he suddenly felt a bit more confident.
Xiao Xu, shall we score one point per ring? Lets keep it simple: ten arrows each, total points cumulative.
Okay.
Chu Qingchan is now holding a bow and has returned to her seat. Seeing Xu Lin standing side by side with Zhang Qingzhen surprised her a bit.
Does Xu Lin know how to shoot arrows?
I think he does; otherwise, would he embarrass himself by going up there?
Chu Fengyi squinted her eyes, looking indifferent, but she kept looking at Xu Lins back.
My brother will definitely win. He can sing, tell stories, and write novels, so he must be good at archery too. Go, brother!
What does all that have to do with his archery skills? Ye Fanleng walked over and started pinching her daughters arm gently, which is a bit sore after playing badminton just now.
Well, because my brother is good at everything.
Alright.
Mommy, who do you support?
Hmm? Ye Fanleng glanced forward and said, I also support your brother, Xu Lin.
Mainly because she doesnt want Zhang Qingzhen to show off if he wins against soone who hasnt shot arrows much, which would make others uncomfortable.
Brother, Mommy supports you too! Xiao Shaoyao shouted again, and Xu Lin turned his head and waved his hand.
anwhile, Zhang Qingzhens expression next to them doesnt look good. He took a deep breath and directly nocked an arrow on the string.
Are you ready?
He originally planned to miss the target twice first and then shoot normally to show his gentlemanly deanour, but now he just wants to achieve a grand victory!
Xu Lin glanced at him and quickly nocked an arrow on his string as well, exerting force.
Then, with a swish, an arrow pierced through the air, followed by a dull thud!
9 rings! Boss is aweso! The staff on site exclaid hastily.
Zhang Qingzhen raised an eyebrow, glanced at Xu Lin, and continued shooting arrows.
Xu Lin also pulled the bowstring taut, a line appearing as a point in his field of vision. With a breath, he released the arrow, piercing the air.
But the next mont, there was no sound of hitting the target. A red flag extended from the electronic flagpole nearby, indicating a miss!
Brother, dont be nervous; stay steady. Your posture is good, but keep your body stable and dont let your hand deform.
Zhang Qingzhen imdiately put on a gentle teacher-like expression, said a word, and then shot the second arrow, hitting the target again.
8 rings!
Then another arrow, again 8 rings. Then the 3rd, 4th, and 5th arrows all hit 8 rings, showing that he still had a certain level of skill.
Why arent you shooting anymore?
Waiting for you to finish first.
Xu Lin felt a kind of powerlessness for the first ti. No, even if he had so basic skills before, its not a traditional bow, and he hasnt practiced for a long ti.
Sorry, brother, I might have let you down.
Xu Lin said this to Shaoyao, but Shaoyao pouted.
Brother, co on. In the stories you told , even if you lose, you cant give up, right?
Okay! Xu Lin heard the child encouraging him like that, so he raised the bow again, took a deep breath, and continued!
His second arrow finally hit the target, a target with a diatre of over 1 ter. He couldnt afford to miss again.
6 rings!
Not bad; hit the target.
But Zhang Qingzhen has already finished 10 arrows, totaling 78 points, which ans, on average, nearly 8 points per arrow. He has only scored six points with two arrows on his side. The remaining 8 arrows must all score 9 points to tie.
The system better co in handy, huh?! Even if he manages to pull it off, itll have to wait until tomorrow; today is Sunday! With the store refreshing on Monday, hell have to tough it out and score whatever he can.
Xu Lin, dont embarrass ; you cant lose!
But at this mont, Chu Fengyi unexpectedly shouted at him again; she herself didnt know why.
Xu Lin looked at Chu Fengyis serious expression and instinctively nodded.
Picking up the bow and arrow, drawing the bow, and aiming, suddenly a voice rang in his ears: Dont embarrass , you cant lose You cant lose; Im here waiting for you.
It seed like Chu Fengyis voice, yet it didnt; his head suddenly ached, and the system flashed a line of red garbled code, then disappeared!
In his mind, a mory appeared: he stood on a vast grassland, surrounded by thousands of people, but he couldnt see their faces. The only thing clear was the figure on the distant platform, a masked beauty, holding a bow and arrow, the distant target, and the pounding heartbeatthe determination to win!
The people around looked at Xu Lin, who suddenly closed his eyes, all feeling a bit puzzled.
Chu Qingchan and Ye Fanleng also intended to go over and see if he was feeling unwell.
Zhang Qingzhen frowned too. What is this kid doing? Whats with the act? Does he really think hes in a novel, trying to pull off so unexpected reversals? If hes pretending to be weak to catch off guard and manages to beat , Ill hand over the entire club to him!
I wont lose! Xu Lin suddenly opened his eyes and muttered to himself. Zhang Qingzhen felt like Xu Lin had changed his montum. He couldnt quite describe it.
The next second, a sharp and low hum of the bowstring resonated in the ears of those around, then, with a bang, shattered the hum!
The staff glanced at the target and saw not a single arrow.
Off target!
Then where did the sound co from?
Over there, at the 50-tre target!
Soone shouted, and the staff enlarged the cara, only to see a pitch-black arrow standing straight at the centre of the 50-tre target!
But before everyone could react to their shock, the second arrow shot out instantly, followed by the third without any delay or hesitation!
Xu Lins eyes were like an eagles eyes, staring straight ahead, swiftly drawing and shooting arrows! In a few seconds, bang! Bang! Bang!
While everyone else stood stunned and silent, the heavy thud of arrows reverberated through the room!
