"Miss, do you really want to do this?"

Jin Shijiu, holding the bow and arrow, couldn't help but confirm again.

The girl, with an apple on her head, nodded with a determined look. "That's right. When you shoot the arrow later, you must not hesitate and must hit the apple! Got it?"

Jin Shijiu was still a little hesitant: "Miss, but this subordinate..."

The girl interrupted him: "There's nothing to hesitate about, Jin Shijiu!"

"Do you want me to miss the chance to become an immortal?"

"Besides, think about it carefully. The immortal is right next to me. How could he let me lose my life?"

Jin Shijiu looked around but did not see the young man who looked like an immortal.

He didn't dare to say anything more, so he gritted his teeth, bent his bow and drew his arrow: "Miss, I am about to begin."

The girl nodded: "Hurry up! I'm ready!"

Jin Shijiu took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress the tension in his heart.

Although he had never missed his target in previous practice, his hands couldn't help but tremble slightly when he was asked to shoot the arrow at the apple on the girl's head.

"Calm down, Jin Shijiu, and use the skills you've practiced in the past."

"Besides, the immortal will not let anything happen to the young lady."

He comforted himself silently in his heart.

He rubbed his right hand on his pants, then pulled the bowstring suddenly, without thinking, and shot directly based on instinct.

"call out--!"

The arrow shot through the air and accurately hit the apple on the girl's head.

The apple flew off the girl's head under the impact of the arrow and rolled to the ground.

The girl was stunned for a moment, then she cheered and said, "Immortal, did I pass this test?"

Fang Jun's calm voice echoed from the void: "This is just one arrow, why are you so excited? There are still ten arrows to come."

The girl said excitedly: "If there is one, there will be two, there will be three. If I can succeed once, I can succeed a hundred times!"

Jin Shijiu whispered bitterly, "Miss..."

He really wanted to say that he was under a lot of pressure.

Although the girl was bold, her body was almost motionless even without her hands and feet tied.

But he couldn't, he was really afraid of hurting the lady.

The first time he shot the arrow, he had suppressed his fear and given it his all. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold on for the second time.

The girl smiled at Jin Shijiu and said, "Jin Shijiu, just perform at your usual level. Believe in yourself."

Fang Jun's voice came again: "Then let's start, start the second arrow immediately."

As soon as she finished speaking, another apple appeared out of thin air on the girl's head.

The girl confidently returned to her original position, stood up, and said with a smile, "Jin Shijiu, it's time to start."

Jin Shijiu took a deep breath and felt the blood boiling in his body, with fine beads of sweat oozing from his forehead and back.

He tried hard to suppress the random thoughts in his mind and pulled the bowstring suddenly.

"call out--!"

The arrow hit the apple accurately again without any accident.

However, Jin Shijiu, who shot the arrow, did not become more confident. Instead, he stood there gasping for breath, his face turning pale.

Seeing this, the girl immediately asked with concern: "Jin Shijiu, what's wrong with you?"

Jin Shijiu panted and said intermittently: "I... am... fine..."

The girl shook her head: "Jin Shijiu, you don't look okay at all."

She then shouted into the void, "Immortal, can you let Jin Shijiu rest for a while?"

"Or maybe someone else can help me complete the test?" Fang Jun's voice was calm and indifferent. "No. You are so smart, you should have realized that your guard is actually part of your test."

"Even though you are fearless in your heart, your guards are obviously not."

"As the pressure grows, he will make more mistakes."

"And in this situation, will you remain fearless?"

The girl hurriedly said, "But, Immortal, that's not the problem. If this continues, something bad will happen to Jin Shijiu."

"'Fear causes the qi to descend, and shock causes the qi to become disorderly.'"

"His body couldn't handle the strain."

"I once saw a new guard faint in the martial arts arena due to the stress of the examination."

"Jin Shijiu's situation is no different from theirs."

Fang Jun's voice remained calm: "So you mean to give up your chance to become an immortal for the sake of the body you're protecting?"

Jin Shijiu quickly said, "Miss, no..."

But before he could finish, he felt dizzy and had difficulty speaking complete sentences.

The girl said without hesitation: "Yes, I will give up the immortal fate."

Fang Jun was now interested: "Why?"

"I have clearly sensed your strong desire for the immortal path, but why would you give up the immortal opportunity that is clearly within your reach?"

"Oh, I see. You're worried that Jin Shijiu might faint halfway through, causing you to fail the Ten Arrows test."

"Don't worry, I'll get your other guards over."

"Or perhaps you're worried that Jin Shijiu's condition, as well as the other guards', might be affecting the accuracy of their archery."

"So, knowing that you don't have the ability to pass the test, you're retreating to advance and giving up your chance to become an immortal?"

The girl immediately denied it: "No, Immortal, I don't think so."

"I am very confident that I can pass the test because I believe that no matter whether it is Jin Shijiu, Jin Yi, or Jin Er, they can't hurt me."

"Even if their health is not good, it is impossible."

"But even though they can't hurt me, they still have problems with their bodies."

"I don't want my fate to affect their health."

Jin Shijiu listened, deeply moved: "Miss..."

Fang Jun chuckled: "Then you have to think carefully. If you get the immortal fate, it will be easy to restore their bodies."

The girl's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Immortal, then I agree that this test will continue."

Fang Jun then asked, "Have you never considered that I might be deceiving you?"

The girl said as a matter of course: "I believe the immortal will not deceive me."

"Besides, if an immortal doesn't have extraordinary magical powers and can bring the dead back to life, how can he be called an immortal?"

Fang Jun smiled and said, "Immortals do have great magical powers, and it is true that they can bring the dead back to life according to legend."

"But becoming an immortal isn't easy. Even if you have the right fate, you may not succeed."

The girl said confidently, "I believe I can become an immortal."

Fang Jun said calmly, "Then, the test continues."

The girl turned to Jin Shijiu and encouraged him, "Jin Shijiu, you can do it. I believe in you, and you have to believe in yourself too, okay?"

During the conversation between Fang Jun and the girl, Jin Shijiu actually took the opportunity to recover a little and felt much calmer.

He clenched the longbow tightly in his hand and said, "Miss, I will definitely make you an immortal."

The girl smiled and said, "Okay, Jin Shijiu. I just hope you have such fighting spirit."

For the next eight arrows, Jin Shijiu hit the mark perfectly, with every arrow hitting the center of the apple.
