Shenwu Overlord

Chapter 77

Thirty miles away from Greedy Wolf City, the mountains are ups and downs.

Each mountain is about 500 meters apart. At this moment, there is a dummy target erected on the top of each mountain.

There are a total of [-] hills, distributed in a circle, and on the hill in the middle, Gu Chen holds a long bow and pulls the bowstring into a full moon shape according to the instructions of Huang Pingzhang beside him.

"This is where you train for the next two weeks."

"If you want to be strong enough to arouse the interest of the Heavenly Court examiner, you must at least train the old man's Liuyun Yanyan Archery to the realm of small success."

Huang Pingzhang said, "Now, let this old man see your archery skills first."

Gu Chen nodded, his eyes swept across the farthest mountain, aiming at the dummy target on the top of the mountain.

Pulling the bow, shooting arrows, his movements are not smooth.

Boom-

The shadow of the arrow broke through the air, as fast as thunder.

With the strength of Gu Chen's arm, even if they were separated by a few miles, when the arrow reached the target hill, the speed did not decrease at all.

However, it flew past dozens of meters away from the dummy target, and finally disappeared.

Seeing this, Huang Pingzhang couldn't help covering his face.

Too bad!
The archer among mortals can still penetrate Yang with a hundred steps, but Gu Chen's archery skills are not as good as those of mortals. Just looking at the movement, you know that he is a pure novice!

His arm strength is quite strong. If he practiced well, he would have a very long range, but archery is all about precision.

He thought it was unreliable to practice archery in two weeks, but seeing Gu Chen's performance completely denied this possibility.

"Cough, I'll try again."

Gu Chen was slightly embarrassed, and he knew that he was ridiculously bad, so he was familiar with bows and arrows again.

"Remember that physical coordination is important when drawing a bow. In addition, archery has to take into account many external factors such as wind direction, which is the hardest part to grasp."

Huang Pingzhang taught carefully, corrected every movement of Gu Chen, and instilled his own experience without reservation.

Gu Chen listened carefully and followed the gourd.

Half a day passed.

Gu Chen shot thirty arrows in a row, only two of them hit the target, one of them still hit the target.

Huang Pingzhang was full of enthusiasm from the beginning, but became a little less interested.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, you can continue to practice here. From now on, the old man will come to guide you for an hour every day, and you can practice more in the rest of the time."

"This is the secret manual of Liu Yun's swallowing arrow technique, you can take it and see for yourself."

Huang Pingzhang found an excuse to leave, while Gu Chen continued to stay and practice.

After he left, Gu Chen tried to figure it out and didn't take a break.

When Huang Pingzhang came over the next day, Gu Chen was already familiar with all the essentials of Liu Yun's arrow technique, and he pulled the bow and shot arrows like an arm.

The only regret is that it never happened.

In front of Huang Pingzhang, Gu Chen missed three consecutive arrows.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, it's a water mill to practice archery well. Now, it's hard to help you."

Huang Pingzhang said politely.

This day has proved that Gu Chen has no talent in archery. Instead of wasting time on this, it is better to spend it elsewhere, which may be more helpful to his assessment.

"Let me try again."

Gu Chen pondered, picked up the bow again, and aimed at the farthest hill.

There, about five miles apart.

The mountain wind is fierce, and the farther away the arrow is, the harder it is to hit the target.

Huang Pingzhang was silent.

Gu Chen took a deep breath.

Through this day's practice, he has found the feeling of archery.

In fact, he had not deliberately aimed at the archery target before, but rather developed the habit of drawing a bow and adjusted his body to the best archery posture according to what Liu Yunxiaoyan said.

At this moment, he is highly concentrated and does not need to be distracted by the coordination between his body and the bow and arrow, because he is already instructed by an arm.

With the concentration of spirit, Gu Chen's pupils turned purple.

For the first time in a day, he used Zi Jitong.

In the past few months, he has been persistently absorbing Donglai Zi Qi every morning, and this magical pupil technique has reached a high level.

Under the purple eyes, everything on the top of the mountain five miles away is clearly visible, which is very different from the previous vision.

A small imprint on the dummy target, and a drop of morning dew on its eyebrows, became clearly visible in his eyes.

The mountain wind whistled, and the flow of air currents were clearly defined in his eyes.

At this moment, he pushed his eyes with all his strength to capture the void.

What was difficult in the past suddenly became easier.

Boom!
Pulling the bow and shooting arrows in one go, without the slightest block, another arrow pierced through the sky!
Huang Pingzhang nodded secretly when he saw it. Gu Chen came to study very hard this day, which can be seen from this standard posture.

Unfortunately, his biggest problem is that he has no sense of arrows, so he can't hit the target no matter what.

whoosh-

The arrow crossed the screaming arc in the sky, reached the sky, and then flew down like an eagle.

"what?"

He was surprised. This time, it seemed that the position did not shift!

puff!
He didn't have time to think, the arrows consistently passed in the center of the dummy's eyebrows, and the dew on the top splashed!

Five miles apart, the mountain wind was fierce, but an arrow shot through the eyebrows!

"A coincidence?"

Huang Pingzhang breathed a sigh of relief, guessing like this, he saw Gu Chen shooting arrows one after another.

He turned his body frequently, put the arrow on the bowstring and aimed it at the top of the mountain. The bow was drawn full of momentum like a rainbow.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Four arrows in a row, flowing like clouds and flowing water, all hit the dummy target, and three of them shot through the head!

"It's not a coincidence, this kid..."

Huang Pingzhang was so shocked that he was speechless. He couldn't understand how Gu Chen's archery had such a big deviation in just a short while?
"Fellow Daoist Huang, did your performance just now pass?"

Gu Chen turned around and asked, a little unhappy between his eyebrows.

With the strong assistance of Zi Jitong, he should have shot all four arrows through his head just now, but he was inexperienced, and one of the arrows went wrong.

"Qualified, barely qualified."

Huang Pingzhang came back to his senses and smiled awkwardly.

He was afraid of Gu Chen's pride and didn't dare to praise him, but in fact, it took him three years to train to the level of Gu Chen.

As for Gu Chen, he did it in just one day. The contrast between before and after is amazing, it is incredible.

"Could this kid be a genius in archery? It looks like it's possible that he will succeed in archery within two weeks..."

He secretly said, inexplicably a little more anticipation.

Every day after that, Gu Chen practiced archery diligently and tirelessly.

For three days, he could hit the bullseye on every hill with every single arrow he made.

In five days, he released four arrows at a time, and he was able to hit the target.

When the week passed, his goal was on the birds passing by in the sky;
When ten days passed, even a fly ten miles away could not escape his arrow!
He broke more than a dozen bows, shot tens of thousands of arrows, and was completely absorbed in it.

Two weeks passed by.

The day of the Heavenly Court assessment has arrived!
