Under One Person: My Inner Realm Connects to All Worlds!

Chapter 32 Golden Bow Magic Weapon
Huyue Archery Club.

The terms "swan" and "moon" actually refer to shooting swans and shooting moons, and are also alternative names for arrow targets.

It originated from the development of the horse archery culture before the previous dynasty. After Emperor Ma established the Mulan Autumn Siege as a fixed system in the 61st year of his reign, archery activities gradually separated from the military training of the previous dynasty and became a form of entertainment.

Among them are shooting techniques such as shooting swans, shooting crescent moons, and shooting bundles, which together constitute unique entertainment activities.

For example, in Dream of the Red Chamber, Jia Zhen, under the guise of practicing archery, had Jia Rong set up a trap to invite his brothers from prominent families and wealthy relatives to compete in archery. A swan was set up in the archery range below the Tianxiang Tower in Ningguo Mansion.

However, archery was not the goal; the main purpose was gambling, which reflects the dissolute lifestyle of the sons of powerful nobles in the previous dynasty.

Looking at the black lacquered wooden plaque with gold lettering, Han Yun couldn't help but sneer, "Does this still look like it belongs to the previous dynasty?"

Han Yun used his skillful lock-picking technique to open the door, then used the Breath Control Technique and the Silent Technique to enter silently.

The area is extremely large and divided into multiple venues, differentiated by shooting range. There is even a place specifically for making bows.

This archery club emphasizes authenticity, using natural materials such as wood, horn, and sinew instead of modern bows like composite bows. Each bow is made with extremely complex and luxurious craftsmanship.

This club is members-only, and some of its facilities rival those of a private club. After archery practice, you can even enjoy some relaxation.

After searching, Han Yun finally confirmed that his target was in the bow-making workshop, where bows and arrows were being maintained.

He was an extremely burly and robust middle-aged man with dark skin, exuding a fierce aura.

In fact, an archer is definitely not a weak person, because drawing a bow and nocking an arrow is a very strenuous task.

It requires extremely high physical fitness, especially in terms of strength.

In the military examinations of the previous dynasty, the standard was a bow with a strength of twelve, with a maximum strength of fifteen.

In addition, the draw weight of the longbow is also very high. The standard requirement for war bows in the previous dynasty was at least seven draw weights, which is nearly eighty pounds. However, during the reign of the "stamping maniac", it was reduced to five draw weights, and during his son's reign, it was further reduced to four draw weights.

It can be said that each generation is worse than the last, and military preparedness has become lax.

According to the memories Han Yun received, the inheritance of the Condor Heroes not only requires amazing hearing and eyesight, but also superhuman strength, and there is a special set of methods to improve it.

The bow-making workshop was not large, only about two hundred square meters. Han Yun was hiding in the shadows, watching the burly man named Ma Qi holding an exaggeratedly shaped bronze-bodied iron-backed bow in his hand and stroking it continuously.

This is an ancient type of bow that replaced wooden bows. Iron bars were inlaid on the back of the bow to increase its range and power, and it was also known as the "iron-backed bow".

Because the bowstring contains metal wire, it also has a powerful force that can cut through flesh, so a thumb ring must be worn to protect the fingers.

The bow has two sharpened ends, resembling the shape of a dragon's tail and an eagle's wings. Two dragons are engraved with gold and bit each other on the bow, and rubies are inlaid in the dragons' eyes.

But at this moment, the exaggeratedly shaped iron-backed bow was drawn to its full extent by the man, who was not wearing any protective gear, yet his fingers showed no signs of being cut.

Han Yun narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself, "This person's finger strength is astonishing..."

Ma Qi released the bowstring, and the arrow "whooshed" through the air, embedding half of it directly into the bullseye of the target, its fletching trembling incessantly.

He nodded in satisfaction, then suddenly spoke up: "Now that you're here, why hide?"

Han Yun raised an eyebrow, knowing he had been discovered, so he decided to stop hiding and stepped out from the shadows.

"Can you tell me where the flaw is?" Han Yun asked, puzzled.

Ma Qi turned around, his gaze sharp as an eagle's, and looked Han Yun up and down before tapping his heart: "My intuition tells me it's because it's too quiet."

"I see!"

Han Yun understood that if the other side had discovered his location, then the shot he had just fired would probably not have hit the target at all.

Ma Qi sneered and said, "You're quite capable to sneak in here silently, but you've come to the wrong place." Han Yun didn't waste any words and said directly, "That Kui is dead."

Ma Qi's pupils contracted, but he quickly regained his composure and sneered, "That old bastard is dead, so what? What does it have to do with me?"

"is it?"

Han Yun walked forward slowly, his right hand gently stroking the hilt of his knife: "But he said that you are also connected with that group of people in the Northeast. Why do you have to be their dog?"

Ma Qi's expression changed drastically, his eyes flashing with murderous intent. He abruptly drew his bow, channeled his innate Qi into the arrow, and aimed it at Han Yun: "You're courting death!"

"Whoosh!"

The arrow pierced the air with a sonic boom, as fast as lightning.

Han Yun did not move, but the White Calf Blade was instantly drawn, and the blade flashed.

"Qiang!"

The steel arrow clashed with the blade, sparks flying, and was cleaved in two before Han Yun's eyes. The broken arrow grazed Han Yun's sides and pierced through the wooden pillar behind him, leaving a fist-sized hole.

"What a heavy arrow!" Han Yun exclaimed.

Upon seeing this, Ma Qi's expression darkened slightly, but he did not panic. Instead, he grinned maliciously and said, "This is interesting."

He swiftly drew three arrows from his quiver, nocked them on the bowstring, and released all three arrows at once!
"Boo! Hah! Hah!"

Three arrows shot towards Han Yun in a triangular formation, blocking his space to dodge to the left and right.

Han Yun's eyes turned cold, and he suddenly rushed forward, sweeping out his white calf blade.

"Shh!"

The blade flashed like a bolt of lightning, instantly severing the three arrows, and Han Yun had already closed in on Ma Qi!

Ma Qi roared and used a bow as a weapon. The iron-backed bow swept across, and the bow, which was as tall as a person, was now like a long weapon in his hands. The bow brought a sharp sound of wind cutting through it, and it went straight for Han Yun's neck.

"Archery?!"

Han Yun dodged to the side and slashed at Ma Qi's wrist with his backhand.

Ma Qi, as expected of a master archer, possessed amazing eyesight and quick reflexes. He bent over and turned to parry the blade.

"Qiang!"

The sound of metal clashing and sparks flying!
Ironback Bow actually blocked the attack of White Calf Blade, but Ma Qi was also shaken and staggered back several steps, his hands and feet going numb.

Han Yun's eyes narrowed. That bow was no ordinary bow; it had actually blocked his sword. Was it a magical artifact?
As expected of a descendant of the previous dynasty, he seems to have some background!
"A fine knife!" Ma Qi gritted his teeth, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.

"Your bow is quite good too!"

Han Yun made a pointed remark.

Moreover, a hint of interest flashed in Han Yun's eyes; he had taken a liking to this bow.

Ma Qi's expression was solemn as he nocked another arrow, but to Han Yun's surprise, there was no arrow in his hand. Under Han Yun's gaze, the golden dragon on the bow slowly lit up with crimson eyes.

At the same time, a golden arrow phantom materialized on the bow, its tip glowing with a crimson light, aimed at Han Yun.
