Abandoning literature for martial arts, starting by unleashing the beauty's bow.

Yang Kai stared intently at Lu Fengnian for a full six breaths before slightly raising his chin. "Sixty zhang is indeed quite a distance."

However, while I wouldn't dare say I'd hit the bullseye every time, hitting four or five times with an arrow shouldn't be a problem.

Sixty feet, four or five out of ten hit the target!

People both on and below the embankment gasped in surprise.

"Rare indeed," Lu Fengnian said calmly.

Yang Kai added, "If you can hit me with an arrow within sixty zhang, then I'll admit defeat."

Lu Fengnian's lips curled slightly. "Let's set up the target."

Soon, an old tree about sixty feet away from the riverbank was selected. The bark in the middle of the trunk was peeled off to reveal a round target.

Lu Fengnian and Yang Kai stood side by side on the riverbank, with villagers from Mao'er Village and Shangjie Village standing behind them.

"Should you go first or should I go first?" Yang Kai asked.

Lu Fengnian responded in a low voice, "You go first."

Yang Kai chuckled and held the hunting bow upright in front of him with his left hand.

When he took the arrows, he took out three arrows in one go, one nocked on the bowstring, and the other two placed on the side of the bow and on his left wrist, respectively.

With a quick aim, the bowstring was released swiftly, and the bamboo arrow shot out.

Almost simultaneously, Yang Kai flicked his left hand, causing the arrow on the side of the bow to bounce towards the bowstring. He quickly reached out with his right hand, pinched the arrow's fletching, nocked the arrow, and released it in one fluid motion.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the second arrow was shot.

Then, a third one...

shhhhhh!

The three bamboo arrows, almost touching end to end, shot swiftly toward the target sixty feet away.

"Rapid Fire!"

"Kai-ge'er's archery skills are absolutely unique in Qinghe County!"

"If one hits, it means all three shots hit the target simultaneously!"

…………

When the people of Shangjie Village saw Yang Kai display his archery skills, they all smiled and praised him endlessly.

The people of Mao'er Village looked tense, their eyes fixed on the distant target.

Puff puff!

Three muffled sounds rang out almost simultaneously.

Yang Kai's three bamboo arrows almost hit the old tree. Although they landed outside the target, they were all considered to have hit the mark.

The entire room fell silent.

The villagers of Shangjie Village erupted in cheers.

Meanwhile, in Mao'er Village, everyone wore gloomy faces and remained silent.

Yang Kai turned his gaze to Lu Fengnian, a faint smile playing on his lips, "Still need to shoot?"

Lu Fengnian responded calmly: "This rapid-fire archery technique is quite good, but the accuracy is a bit lacking, which is obviously due to insufficient arm strength."

If you hadn't had a bit of luck, you probably wouldn't have hit the target.

Yang Kai's smile remained unchanged. "What if I could hit it again?"

Lu Fengnian shook his head and said in a very firm tone, "If you continue to fire a barrage of arrows, you will definitely miss the target."

Moreover, you just said within ten breaths; in the time it takes to speak, ten breaths have probably already passed.

Yang Kai gave a light snort, raised his hunting bow again, and took out three more bamboo arrows...

With three more whooshing sounds, three bamboo arrows shot off the bowstring.

Lu Fengnian was right.

The three arrows grazed the old tree almost simultaneously and landed in the weeds beside it.

The villagers of Shangjie Village all sighed.

Back in Mao'er Village, the villagers' expressions finally improved.

Yang Kai frowned and took out three more bamboo arrows.

Lu Fengnian spoke softly: "Once, twice, then weakened, then exhausted."

"If you continue firing a barrage of arrows after missing that shot, your accuracy will only worsen."

"It's none of your business."

Yang Kai glanced at Lu Fengnian and drew the bowstring again.

As expected, the third arrow missed the target again, and it landed more than a foot away from the old tree.

The villagers of Shangjie Village sighed once again.

In Mao'er Village, some people already had gloating smiles on their faces.

Yang Kai's face flushed red, clearly showing some shame.

He nocked the last arrow onto the bowstring, took a quick aim, and released the bowstring swiftly.

With a snap, the bamboo arrow shot out.

Immediately afterwards, with a soft "thud," the bamboo arrow embedded itself directly into the old tree, hitting the bullseye.

It must be said that Yang Kai's archery skills are definitely at the level of a master archer compared to ordinary hunters.

If he had listened to Lu Fengnian's advice and stopped using the rapid-fire arrows, he probably would have been hit by at least six arrows.

However, to hit four out of ten targets over a distance of sixty zhang was already astonishing for these ordinary villagers.

Yang Kai turned his gaze to Lu Fengnian, "It's your turn."

After saying that, he put away his bow and arrows and stepped aside.

Lu Fengnian took the hunting bow off his back and slowly walked to the spot where Yang Kai had just stood, his eyes slightly narrowed.

The old tree, sixty feet away, still has clearly visible bark textures.

He held the hunting bow upright in front of him, slowly took a bamboo arrow from the quiver, nocked it on the bowstring, and then slowly pulled it back.

The bowstring was drawn taut, but the arrow was not released immediately. Instead, the arrow was aimed directly at the bullseye on the old tree, following the direction of the arrow tip.

One breath, two breaths... a full six breaths passed, and Lu Fengnian still hadn't fired the arrow.

The villagers of Mao'er Village held their breath, extremely nervous.

The villagers of Shangjie Village, however, grew impatient and began to speak up:

"It's been so long, why hasn't he ejaculated yet? What's Lu Fengnian up to with this act?"

"It's not that he doesn't want to shoot, it's that this kid is too afraid to shoot, afraid of making a fool of himself!"

"I bet his arrow flew at least ten feet away from the target."

…………

Lu Fengnian remained motionless, ignoring the words of the villagers from Shangjie Village.

Six more breaths passed, and Yang Kai, who was standing to the side, became impatient and urged, "If you don't shoot soon, I'm going to start timing you."

Upon hearing this, Lu Fengnian not only did not shoot an arrow, but instead loosened the bowstring and put the arrow back into the quiver.

"Haha, this kid chickened out, he's too scared to shoot!"

"Could it be that he's going to admit defeat this time?"

"Hat Village really has no one left. They actually sent out this idiot, who didn't even dare to shoot an arrow. What a disgrace!"

…………

The villagers of Shangjie Village burst into laughter, their mocking gazes sweeping back and forth between Lu Fengnian and the villagers of Mao'er Village.

The villagers of Mao'er Village also thought that Lu Fengnian was going to give up, and they all felt ashamed and embarrassed.

Some short-tempered and impulsive people started shouting angrily:

"Lu Fengnian, you coward, what are you trying to do? Just shoot already!"

"Lu Fengnian, you coward! Everyone in Mao'er Village despises you!"

"It's a waste that the village head and Uncle Zhao trusted you so much, going to your house several times to invite you, yet you didn't even dare to shoot an arrow! You've disgraced our Mao'er Village!"

…………

Zhao Dagui and Zhao Tianming stood there with furrowed brows, not saying a word to stop it, letting the villagers hurl insults at Lu Fengnian.

Lu Fengnian stood still, motionless, and even closed his eyes.

Yang Kai spoke softly: "Lu Fengnian, I'm sure you're not a coward. What exactly do you want to do?"

Delaying won't solve anything, just shoot already.

At this moment, Lu Fengnian suddenly opened his eyes.

Quickly raise the hunting bow vertically in front of you, then take an arrow and place it on the bow.

Not one arrow, but three arrows!
