Archer's Adventure Manual
Chapter 123: Wedding Archery Demonstration
The host's voice was loud and clear, echoing throughout the entire venue; he must have used some magical techniques.
Standing in the vast space, Loran felt as insignificant as an ant.
Just then, he suddenly heard a fairly distinct shout from the viewing platform; it sounded quite familiar...
Curious, he turned around and looked at the platform. It turned out that Lin Wen and his team members were there, cheering him on.
Lin Wen was already red-faced from shouting and looked very anxious, but when he saw that Luo Lan had noticed them, he happily waved his arms.
Loran waved back, feeling a warmth in his heart.
After everything was ready, the exhibition match began. Loran and his group competed in batches of four, shooting with bows at a time.
"The rules for the first round are: each person will have ten arrows and will shoot ten times. They must hit the bullseye four times. Then, the scores will be ranked, and the two contestants with the lowest scores will be eliminated," the host explained the rules.
Loran was already very familiar with the rules, and he was in the first group to go on stage. This time, he didn't plan to hold back anymore.
The target is at a fixed distance of 30 meters, and this distance will not change because the competition ultimately tests the athlete's accuracy, not strength.
If the target is set too far away, it becomes unfair to players who have the skills but not enough strength.
So, unsurprisingly, after Loran activated precision shooting, all ten arrows hit the bullseye precisely!
Fast and accurate!
"My God! Contestant number three displayed terrifying skill right from the start, hitting the bullseye with all ten arrows! What kind of technique is that?!"
The other players were inevitably a little flustered after seeing this, but they managed to keep their composure and perform to their full potential, though they were still far inferior to Genlolan.
Lin Wen, watching from the stands, was extremely excited: "Wow! That kid Luo Lan's got something! This adventure really makes a difference!"
Finita secretly praised herself, thinking, 'If Instructor Lena saw this, she would be very pleased!'
While other players can also use precision-based skills, their skills are far inferior to Loran's unerring accuracy.
They can only significantly increase the hit rate, but they cannot achieve 100% accuracy. They still need to rely more on their own accuracy to piece together the results.
The second group of contestants took to the field, and another monster similar to Loran appeared: Elfin, who also easily hit the bullseye with all 10 arrows.
Elfin also drew a lot of cheers from the onlookers. Of course, many people also recognized this genius elf ranger from Rockfall Town.
They weren't surprised by the result; instead, they were worried for Loran. Facing such a powerful elven ranger, it would be very difficult for anyone to win, right?
The second project involved adding obstacles with many holes to the original target, requiring arrows to be precisely passed through these holes to hit the target.
If an arrow drops during its flight, or if its feathers brush against an obstacle, it will miss the bullseye and be eliminated.
While other contestants hesitated and considered various possibilities, Loran and Elfin easily passed this project.
Two more contestants were eliminated, leaving four.
The cheers of the Dogecoin Squad members could be faintly heard in Loran's ears, and he could even hear some of Thompson's slightly lewd voice.
The third project involves a sphere tied to a rope. Upon receiving a command, the staff will cut the rope, causing the sphere to fall freely.
The contestants need to shoot the ball in mid-air and burst it; if the ball hits the ground, it is considered a failure.
This requires a bit of skill. Although it can hit accurately, Loran still needs to control the landing time.
He needed to shoot the sphere upon landing, which wasn't too difficult, and Loran calmly and methodically succeeded in shooting one after another.
All four contestants succeeded when the ball fell in the first round. Subsequently, the difficulty increased, with two balls being thrown at intervals for the contestants to shoot.
Furthermore, the size of the sphere this time was significantly smaller than last time, making it even harder to hit.
As the difficulty increased, one contestant became nervous and was eliminated, while another contestant successfully persevered and advanced to the next round.
If only two players remain after the elimination, the difficulty will continue to increase. Eventually, the last remaining player, who had been struggling, was eliminated by the combined attacks of the two monsters, Loran and Erfin.
The cheers from the audience grew louder and louder, with applause coming incessantly.
Elfin is quite handsome and well-known, and has a lot of support, while Loran is relatively less popular, seemingly only having the support of the "Dog Coin Squad".
"Guys, give it your all! Let Loran hear our cheers! Let's beat that blond guy!"
"Yeah! Outshine that blond guy!"
Loran heard that tiny voice cheering for him amidst the cheers of the many Elfins, and his heart warmed. He was determined to give it his all, but... he really didn't have the confidence to completely defeat the elven ranger in front of him.
Elfin revealed a confident smile, "Kid, finally using your full strength? But it seems a bit lacking."
Loran ignored it and quietly waited for the rules of the next round of the competition.
The facilitator then quickly explained the rules for the next activity.
"For the next event, participants can preview the target's location beforehand. Then, they will be blindfolded and shoot ten arrows. Scores will be calculated based on the number of rings. If scores are tied, the speed of shooting will be used to determine the winner. Everyone will have ten minutes to rest and adjust."
Those around were slightly taken aback by the rule. Shooting blindfolded? How could you aim and shoot if you couldn't see anything?
You must know that an archer's eyes are an essential auxiliary weapon for shooting arrows. If you can't see the enemy's exact location, how can you shoot?
"To shoot based solely on feeling and memory? That's a bit too difficult!"
"Who knows? Maybe they have a way..."
Loran was slightly taken aback upon hearing this rule. If he couldn't see the target... would his skill still be able to be successfully released?
How could he unleash a skill if he couldn't even focus his mind on that object?
After adjusting his mindset, the match continued. Loran stood quietly on the field, with Elfen beside him.
"You have one minute to memorize the target's location, and you cannot use magic or any form of marking on the target. If you are found to have done so, you will be penalized with a negative score," the host reminded you.
Loran certainly wouldn't use magic; this statement was directed at restricting Elfin.
Elfin scoffed, "Of course, I wouldn't bully anyone."
