Chapter 170 Is this really a newcomer? (Please subscribe)

Sun Wei wasn't doing this out of boredom; rather, he was acting out of a sense of responsibility towards Chen Fan.

Or rather, it's not just Chen Fan; as the branch president, he cares about the safety of every member.

Especially given the current situation.

The headquarters meant well by sending an extra bow with a draw weight of 10,000 jin. What if they let Chen Fan take the bow and something unexpected happens?

Even if headquarters doesn't pursue the matter, he will feel guilty and uneasy for the rest of his life.

"The president wants to see me draw this bow in person, right?" Chen Fan asked with a smile.

"good."

Sun Wei's expression remained serious. "Unless you can do it, I will not allow you to take this bow out of the branch."

"All right."

Chen Fan felt a little helpless but also touched. He understood that the chairman meant well.

"This place is too small. We need to find a larger place. Ordinary targets won't work. It would be best to find some thick steel plates."

Sun Wei was taken aback for a moment, then said:

"A few steel plates, is that right? The branch has plenty, all kinds of thickness. As for the venue, let's go to the basement. There's a 500-meter target range there."

"Alright, then, President, let's set off now."

Chen Fan smiled.

He was also looking forward to it.

Firstly, I wanted to see just how powerful a bow with a draw weight of 10,000 jin really was.

Secondly, using this bow to practice basic archery techniques and improve speed would be amazing, right?

"it is good."

Seeing Chen Fan's confidence, Sun Wei's resolve began to waver.

Could this young man really do it?

But to achieve that, one would have to be a martial artist at least at the Meridian Refining Realm, right?

Wasn't he only at the hidden strength level?

……

Let's go back two or three minutes.

Several martial artists who had reached the advanced level walked out of their respective training rooms and went to the tea room opposite the elevator.

"Tu Yue, has that newcomer arrived?"

Xu Jie asked curiously, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Not only him, but the others were also very curious.

After all, a seventeen-year-old martial artist with internal strength who still uses a bow and arrow is extremely rare.

"That's right."

Tu Yue shook her phone screen and said, "The president sent me a message a few minutes ago saying that the newcomer has arrived and asked me to inform everyone to gather here. He will bring the newcomer over in a little while to introduce them to us."

"Wow, that was fast."

Xu Jie rubbed his hands together and said, "I'll go up and shake his hand later, and take the opportunity to test him."

"Xu Jie, you're such a jerk!"

"I think it's good, I can give it a try, hahaha."

Some people nearby, enjoying the spectacle, chimed in.

"Xu Jie, don't go too far," Tu Yue frowned and said, "Even if a newcomer is a Dark Force martial artist, they probably only broke through recently. You've been doing this for two or three years. Aren't you bullying me?"

"Oh, don't worry, I won't use too much force," Xu Jie waved his hand.

Just as the group was about to say something, the door to the secret chamber opened not far away, and two figures walked out one after the other.

Their gazes met instantly.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Jie and the other six people all opened their mouths wide in unison.

Despite the president's prior warning and their mental preparation, they were still shocked when they saw it with their own eyes.

This newcomer is really young!

Chen Fan's gaze swept across the faces of the six people, and he thought to himself that these people should be the companions that the president wanted to introduce to him.

Sun Wei also suddenly woke up and brought Chen Fan in front of everyone, saying, "Everyone, this is Chen Fan, the Dark Force martial artist who recently joined our branch, whom I mentioned to you before."

The six people looked at Chen Fan with varying expressions.

A strange light flashed in Tu Yue's eyes, and she took the initiative to extend her hand and said, "Chen Fan, my name is Tu Yue, I am a martial artist with internal strength. You can call me Sister Yue. Welcome to join us."

"Forehead……"

Chen Fan paused for a moment, then smiled and extended his hand to shake hands with the other person.

Tu Yue smiled and withdrew her hand.

"Chen Fan, my name is Gao Shan, I am a martial artist of the Transformation Realm. You can call me Brother Gao or Uncle Gao, it's up to you."

The middle-aged man smiled and extended his hand.

Chen Fan quickly shook hands with him, thinking to himself, "So this is the only Transformation Realm martial artist in the branch besides the president."

"My name is Zhao Xuewen, and his name is Zhao Xuewu. We are brothers and both are internal martial arts practitioners." The two men, who looked very similar, also extended their hands.

"Brother Chen Fan, I'm Xu Jie, a martial artist specializing in internal energy. You can just call me Brother Jie." Xu Jie smiled and extended his hand.

Tu Yue, who was standing to the side, suddenly coughed and glared at him.

Xu Jie's smile froze, and he shook hands with Chen Fan in a friendly manner.

"Fan Sui".

The last man, with a cold expression, said something, then put his hands in his pockets, ignoring the signals from the others around him.

"Chen Fan, Fan Sui, that's how he is, and he treats us the same way," Tu Yue said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, Brother Chen Fan, don't take it to heart," Gao Shan also said.

No, it won't.

Chen Fan smiled; he truly wouldn't take it to heart.

After all, he and these people are probably just nodding acquaintances, and it might not be long before they go their separate ways.

Sun Wei coughed and said, "Now that we've all gotten to know each other, I hope we can all work together and help each other in the future."

"Of course."

"Of course, of course."

"Brother Chen Fan, you're only seventeen years old, and you're already a Dark Force martial artist. That's amazing."

"Yes, when we were seventeen, we weren't even archer warriors yet."

Apart from Fan Sui, Xu Jie, Gao Shan, and the others were all very cooperative and friendly.

"what?"

Tu Yue's gaze fell on the bow in Chen Fan's hand, and she asked curiously, "Chen Fan, this bow you're holding looks rather unusual."

Upon hearing this, the attention of the others was also drawn.

That bent arm is almost as thick as an adult's arm, isn't it?

Someone caught a glimpse of the arrow basket on Chen Fan's back out of the corner of their eye and immediately gasped.

Good heavens, is that an arrow?

A javelin, perhaps?

No, it's thicker than a javelin!

What kind of bow and arrow is this?

"Brother Chen Fan, could you tell me how many kilograms your bow has a draw weight?" Gao Shan couldn't help but ask curiously. "If it's inconvenient, you don't have to tell me."

"Uncle Gao, you're too kind."

Chen Fan smiled slightly, "I just got this bow from headquarters. Its draw weight is 10,000 jin."

"How many?"

Xu Jie, who was standing to the side, exclaimed in surprise and asked.

"Ten thousand catties."

Chen Fan repeated it.

Instantly, the six people, including Xu Jie, stood frozen in place, their heads buzzing.

One, a bow with a draw weight of 10,000 jin?

Did they mishear?

Or is this newcomer spreading alarmist rumors?

Ten years ago, they would have thought that such a bow with such tension only existed in ancient legends.

Today, they believe in the existence of such a bow, but they don't believe that a mere martial artist with internal strength could use a bow with a draw weight of 10,000 jin.

"Yes, President?"

Zhao Xuewen stared wide-eyed at Sun Wei, as if asking, "Chairman, is what he said true?"

"That's right."

Sun Wei nodded. "It's a bow with a draw weight of 10,000 jin (5,000 kg), delivered from headquarters this morning."

Instantly, the atmosphere fell silent.

The group looked at each other, their minds blank.

"Chen, Chen Fan," Tu Yue stammered, "You, you can draw this bow?"

She couldn't believe it, but Chen Fan had already equipped himself with a bow and arrow; surely he couldn't have been bored?

Everyone else's eyes were also fixed on Chen Fan.

How to draw a bow with a draw weight of 10,000 jin?

Is this something a martial artist at the Enlightenment level could do?

Even a martial arts master at the Transformation Realm wouldn't be able to do it.

Chen Fan was both amused and exasperated, and said, "I was just about to go to the basement with the chairman to test the effect."

The group looked at Sun Wei, who nodded somewhat helplessly.

He did hope that Chen Fan could pull them apart, but common sense told him that this was unrealistic.

"President, shall we go with them?"

"Yes, let's go take a look."

"President?"

Sun Wei looked at Chen Fan, who said it was up to him.

So, Sun Wei walked in front, Chen Fan followed closely behind, and Xu Jie and his six companions brought up the rear.

"Do you really think Chen Fan can pull it off?" Tu Yue asked, her heart pounding with fear. As a martial artist with internal strength, her limit was that she could only draw a 3000-jin bow.

"How is that possible? A bow with a draw weight of 10,000 jin? Even Brother Gao couldn't draw it."

When Gao Shan saw his companion looking at him, he shook his head decisively.

"Where does his confidence come from?" Xu Jie was completely baffled.

"Aren't all newcomers like this?" Fan Sui, who hadn't spoken until now, said.

Soon, the group arrived at the basement.

Under Sun Wei's arrangement, the branch members erected two steel plates, each one meter thick, against the wall, and attached a target to the front of the plate.

Chen Fan stood 500 meters away, his feet firmly planted. He took an arrow from the quiver with his right hand, nocked it on the string, placed the bow and arrow in front of him, and slowly pulled the bow back with his right hand.

Behind them, Sun Wei and the others held their breath, their eyes wide open like copper bells.

"quack……"

The sound of a bow being stretched could be heard in the air.

Its shape changed from a crescent moon to a waning crescent moon, and it is still slowly getting bigger.

"!!!"

Sun Wei and the others' breathing quickened instantly. Could it be... could it be...?

They felt like their hearts were about to jump out of their throats.

I watched helplessly as the bow, which had turned into a crescent moon, transformed into a gibbous moon, and then, a full moon!

The whole process actually took less than a second!

Importantly, it flows smoothly like clouds and water, without any sense of stagnation.

then.

"boom!"

A loud bang.

Almost instantly, with a "snap," the arrow easily pierced the bullseye, with half of its shaft deeply embedded in the steel plate. The arrow tail vibrated violently, emitting a continuous buzzing sound.

Until the tremors subsided, the entire basement remained deathly silent.

Except for Chen Fan, everyone else had the same words echoing in their minds.

He pulled it open! He really pulled it open! He actually pulled it open!!!

Chen Fan ignored the changes around him and eagerly looked at the skill bar.

He wants to see.

With just this one arrow,

How much has your proficiency in basic archery improved?
