High-level martial arts: Invincibility starts with basic archery.

Chapter 70 Completely Convinced

A hard bow with a draw weight of 200 pounds is a target killer unless you are standing hundreds of meters away; no target can withstand a single arrow from it.

However, the village was only two or three hundred meters long and wide, so Chen Fan and Zhang Ren could only leave the village with their targets.

Gu Ze hesitated for a moment, but still followed.

He needs to see it with his own eyes to believe it.

Once outside the village, all you could see was overgrown weeds and utter silence; there wasn't a breath of wind in the air.

Chen Fan placed the target about 500 or 600 meters away, then ran back, left foot forward, right foot back, raised the longbow, aimed the arrow at the bullseye, and slowly pulled back the bowstring.

Gu Ze glanced at Chen Fan, then at Zhang Ren who looked serious, and finally looked into the distance.

What a joke! In his eyes, that target was just a tiny black dot. How could he possibly aim and hit it?

As the bowstring was gradually pulled back, the muscles on Chen Fan's arms bulged and the veins were clearly visible, but he did not tremble at all throughout.

It sounds long, but it only takes a second or two for the bowstring to be fully drawn, like a full moon.

Gu Ze's breath hitched, and his throat felt like it was blocked by something, making it impossible for him to say a word.

Immediately afterwards, a sound even louder than a firecracker rang out.

An arrow, over a meter long and about the thickness of two fingers, shot out like lightning.

In less than two blinks of an eye, a crisp sound came from the target five or six hundred meters away, and the arrow pierced through the target and flew over.

"So fast."

Chen Fan couldn't help but sigh.

When he used that longbow with a draw weight of 100 jin, the arrows flew at a speed of about 100 meters per second, which he could barely see.

But this longbow, with a draw weight of 200 jin, could shoot arrows that were close to the speed of sound. Even he could only see a blurry afterimage.

"It is indeed very fast, about the same speed as a regular handgun bullet."

Zhang Ren said from the side.

"?"

Gu Ze stared at the two of them, dumbfounded.

He heard that crisp sound clearly; it was indeed the sound of an arrow hitting a target. Hitting a target from five or six hundred meters away—what terrifying archery skills!

The two men, however, were discussing the speed of the arrows as if nothing had happened, as if missing the target was the unexpected thing.

Chen Fan glanced at the skill panel:

Basic Archery: lv6 (45.5%)

The battle that broke out in Li Family Village had increased his proficiency in Basic Archery by over 45%.

In other words, this arrow increased proficiency by 0.3%.

It's quite impressive that such a simple arrow has increased my proficiency so much. If I max out the remaining proficiency, it will only take a little over a hundred arrows.

Of course, given his stamina, he could shoot about twenty arrows per minute, which was about his limit. If it were rapid-fire, three shots in a row would probably exhaust him.

"Uncle Zhang, why don't you give it a try?"

Chen Fan handed over the bow and arrow, saying, "Let me take a look and see if there's anything you're not good at, and I'll correct it for you."

"it is good."

Zhang Ren took the bow and arrow, recalled Chen Fan's posture just now, drew the bow, nocked the arrow, and aimed at the target.

"Uncle Zhang, you're too nervous. Your body is too tense, and your hands are trembling a little..."

As Chen Fan spoke, he corrected his movements.

Zhang Ren was a little embarrassed, but Chen Fan's archery skills were beyond doubt.

After adjusting his posture, Zhang Ren loosened his fingers, and shortly after the arrow flew out, another crisp sound came from afar.

Clearly, it worked.

Zhang Ren took a deep breath and took out a second arrow from the quiver.

Gu Ze felt a little ashamed watching from the side.

He had thought his archery skills were not great, but not bad either. However, according to Chen Fan's current explanation, many of his mistakes were common for beginners. If he didn't correct them as soon as possible and make them a habit, his archery skills might just stay that way in the future.

Hearing this, Gu Ze felt a cold sweat involuntarily trickle down his forehead. Was it too late for him to change now?

After giving instructions for about ten minutes, Zhang Ren went to the side to practice alone. After all, there is a considerable gap between knowing and doing, which can only be bridged through practice.

"Um, Chen Fan."

Seizing the opportunity, Gu Ze stammered, "Could you... perhaps give me some pointers?"

After he finished speaking, he became a little nervous and didn't dare to look Chen Fan in the eye, afraid of being rejected.

After all, they had only known each other for less than two days, and he had made some outrageous remarks about leaving the latter behind. Yet, at this moment, he took the initiative to ask the other party for guidance.

It doesn't seem quite right.

"sure."

However, the next second, Chen Fan readily agreed.

"You...you agreed?"

Gu Ze looked up, his face filled with surprise and delight.

Chen Fan was both amused and exasperated. "What, you think I would refuse?"

Gu Ze didn't speak, but the expression on his face betrayed his inner thoughts.

Chen Fan patted him on the shoulder and said, "We're from the same village, aren't we?"

"Um."

Gu Ze nodded emphatically.

That's right, starting this morning, Gu Family Village will cease to exist.

"Chen Fan, thank you. I admit that you are much better at archery than I imagined, but one day my strength will surpass yours."

He said with a determined look on his face.

"Okay, I look forward to that day too."

Chen Fan smiled.

Having goals is always a good thing, especially if it allows Gu Ze to grow and become stronger.

However, Gu Ze's comprehension was far inferior to Zhang Ren's; the latter would not make the same mistake a third time after making it once or twice.

Gu Ze is different; he always neglects one thing for another, which makes him feel very embarrassed.

Chen Fan had a good attitude. Archery, like marksmanship, is easy to learn but difficult to master.

You might be able to hit the target within ten meters, but not at fifteen meters. Not to mention, these days it's often more than a hundred, two hundred, or three hundred meters. There are just too many factors to consider if you want to hit the target.

After teaching for about twenty minutes, Chen Fan returned to his seat, his gaze falling on the [Meteor Arrow Technique].

Skill proficiency: 0.

The shot he just fired did slightly increase his proficiency in Basic Archery.

However, the proficiency level of the Meteor Arrow Technique remained unchanged.

"In other words, the only way to improve your proficiency with the Meteor Arrow technique is through rapid fire."

Thinking of this, Chen Fan raised his longbow and aimed it at the target.

"Snapped!"

A loud bang!

Gu Zechao glanced over here, feeling a little envious, but before he could think about it further...

It's the second tone again, then the third tone.

"!"

Gu Ze's eyes widened instantly. What was going on? How many sounds had just been made?

"Huff huff..."

Chen Fan's chest heaved violently, and his arms trembled uncontrollably. Sure enough, the strong bow with a draw weight of 200 jin was close to its limit after three shots. If it were to fire four shots, his body probably wouldn't be able to handle it, unless he could activate his qi and blood power.

But firstly, it's unnecessary, and secondly, he doesn't know how to motivate him.

But just then, he seemed to hear the sound of fluid flowing inside his body, like a small river, gurgling and flowing.

As the liquid flowed down my chest, my breathing calmed down a little; as it flowed down my arms, I could clearly feel the trembling lessen considerably.

"It's for improving blood circulation!"

His eyes lit up.
