"Keng!"
Many students loaded the arrows into their bows. The arrows were made of fine steel. The true energy in their bodies began to circulate. They aimed their right eyes at the bullseye in the distance, shouted in a deep voice, and tried their best to draw the bows.
"Drink!"
A young man with a steady body and dark skin exhaled and shouted loudly. With the loud shout, the bowstring, which was tanned with the strong tendons of the blood beast, was suddenly pulled open, forming a half-moon shape.
"collapse!"
He stretched the bow string to the extreme, then loosened it with his right hand, and the black iron arrow flew out like a phantom.
The young man gasped and gasped, staring expectantly at the iron arrow as it hit the iron target. With a clang, the iron sword only left a dent on the iron target. He used up all his strength and threw it away, landing on the iron target. On the ground in front of the iron target.
There was a look of disappointment in the young man's eyes, he waved his fist angrily, put down his bow, and left with a sigh.
Everyone has only one chance, and if they fail once, they will be eliminated.
Ding-ding-ding-ding!
At this time, the sound of gold and iron fighting rang out one after another on the stage. Only twenty students were seen shooting their own iron arrows, but most of them, although they hit the target, failed to keep the iron arrow on the target. , and was eliminated miserably.
There are also some people who fail to hit the target at all, and the iron arrows pass by the target. There are even a few people who cannot even draw the strong bow, let alone shoot the iron arrow.
In the end, only three of the first batch of twenty people successfully hit the target without the arrow falling.
The iron arrow of one of them only penetrated half of the target. The entire iron arrow was bent at 60 degrees and almost fell off.
But luckily, it got stuck on the target.
The three successful people waved their fists excitedly and walked off the ring with great satisfaction.
"Only three people passed in the first batch. It seems that the difficulty of the first round was not low."
"It goes without saying that a fifty-stone bow is equivalent to the power of five horses. In other words, students at least mid-level human level and above can draw the bow to the extreme. What's more, there are iron arrows and iron targets. Ordinary mid-level human-level students may not be able to succeed."
"Star College is worthy of being the number one academy in the Kingdom. Although this round is a simple strength assessment, it tests not only strength, but also the students' vision, accuracy, and power control."
"Haha, that's interesting."
The dignitaries and powerful men in the royal capital who were sitting on the stage were all talking with great interest.
Soon the second batch of students came on stage.
The quality of this batch is obviously better than the previous batch, and four students remain.
Next, one batch after another, the speed is very fast, and there are about three or four people left in each batch.
Soon, it was Odell Qin turn to take the stage.
"Hmph."Odell Qin glanced at Garfield Qin coldly, showing a provocative look. He was filled with anger, and quickly stepped onto the stage. He was the first to pick up the strong bow, and with a slight exertion, he raised the strong bow. Pulled to the full moon shape, very relaxed.
then--
"collapse!"
The bow string trembled, and the black iron arrow shot out like a bolt of lightning. The speed was staggering. With a clang, the iron arrow pierced the bullseye, penetrated the five-centimeter-thick iron target, and stuck on the iron target. The fine steel The arrow body of Zhu was shaking continuously.
"Wow!"
There were exclamations from among the students.
"It's so powerful. One arrow penetrates the bull's-eye. How much power does it take?"
"As expected of a student in the advanced class, Odell Qin is only one step away from reaching the prefectural level, right?"
"Such power and accuracy are rare even in advanced classes."
Lord Ling Wu Kale Xiao, who was sitting above, nodded slightly and said, "Is this the strongest one I have seen so far? The Qin family is indeed a strong family in the army."
Igor Chu smiled and said: "Odell Qin's talent is indeed good, but it is not amazing. His eldest brother is amazing." A trace of sigh flashed in his eyes.
"Are you talking about Qin Feng, the proud man of the former royal capital?"
"It's him. I still remember that this person only took two years to reach the prefectural level at the age of fourteen, successfully graduated from the academy, and then joined the army and made many military exploits. I don't know what level of cultivation he has now."
Kale Xiao eyes flashed and he said: "This boy is indeed a person. I still remember seeing this boy at the palace banquet. He is a towering figure and a man of great influence."
"Alas." He suddenly sighed and said, "It's a pity that this son is over the age. Otherwise, the task entrusted to me by His Majesty would have been completed. Now, I have a headache!"
Igor Chu eyes flashed and he smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty's mission is indeed not easy. Just take a look at it first. I hope you will be satisfied with it in the end."
Everyone else on the field was also talking about it.
Although Odell Qin was defeated in front of Garfield Qin before, when Odell Qin strength was revealed, many people were amazed.
"Long gave birth to nine sons, all of whom are different. The Qin family has geniuses like Qin Feng and Odell Qin, but they also have an illegitimate son like Garfield Qin. This is really..."
Everyone had a playful look on their faces. Although Garfield Qin had previously proved that he had awakened his bloodline, no one thought that Garfield Qin could compare with Odell Qin.
"Okay, this is my Fen'er, haha, okay."Cora Zhao patted the corner of the chair excitedly, with a smile on his face, then glanced at Grace Qin coldly, and sneered: "What can Garfield Qin do if he awakens his bloodline?" , in the final analysis, it is still a waste.”
"You three, pray that you don't fall into my hands."Odell Qin walked down from the stage, stared at Garfield Qin and the others coldly, and said with a ferocious smile.
Garfield Qin ignored his provocation and didn't even look at him.
"Hmph, let's see how long you can keep pretending. I'm afraid you won't even be able to pass this first round of strength assessment."Odell Qin sneered and returned to the team.
"Master Chen, it's our turn soon."Walfred Lin and Jeff Zhang looked a little nervous.
Garfield Qin patted the shoulders of the two of them and said: "Don't be nervous. With your two cultivation levels, you will pass the first round without any problems. The only thing to note is that the balance of the iron arrow is relatively poor. The moment it is shot, The power is best to hit the arrow and use the arrow to drive the arrow body, so that it can shoot into the target in one fell swoop.”
"Yes."Walfred Lin and Jeff Zhang nodded heavily.
Sure enough, the next batch was the turn of two people.
The two took a deep breath and stepped to the high platform.
Stepping forward, straightening their backs, and tightening their abdomens, the two followed Garfield Qin's instructions, watching their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses, and stretched the strong bow to the extreme. The infuriating energy of the middle-level human level surged like a tide.
"collapse!"
"collapse!"
The sound of sharp arrows piercing the air was heard, and the two iron arrows pierced the bullseye one after another. The tails of the arrows trembled, but the arrow tips did not move at all, as steady as a rock.
"Successful."
The two looked at each other and waved their hands excitedly.
"Hey, aren't Walfred Lin and Jeff Zhang in the junior class? When did this power break through to the mid-level human level?"
A student who was familiar with the two people said in surprise.
"These two guys actually dare to enter the next round. It's interesting. Hehe, it's interesting."Odell Qin and the students around him looked at each other, with a hint of excitement and ferocity in their eyes.
"Master Chen, we succeeded."
Returning to Garfield Qin, Walfred Lin and Jeff Zhang were extremely excited.
"Nice job."Garfield Qin smiled slightly, thoughtfully.
Walfred Lin and Jeff Zhang's understanding is extremely good. I just reminded them casually, but they didn't expect that they used it directly in the process of archery. This kind of understanding is not something everyone can have.
Next, it was finally Garfield Qin turn to take the stage.
