Chapter 240: Chapter 236 Who doesn’t have an unattainable dream?

If the horsemanship displayed by Ruo Xuan and Xuanyuan Que had shocked and surprised everyone, their archery skills left everyone utterly astonished and in disbelief.

Hitting a target four hundred meters away was a record-breaking feat!

No one across the five nations, across the entire world, could achieve this.

Yet two little kids who seemed to be only a few years old managed to do it.

They achieved what even the god-like warriors of various nations could not.

Yan Heng didn’t feel ashamed of being outdone by a child this time; he simply knew the future of Xuanyuan Country was secured for decades after his hundred years!

This news would utterly shock the neighboring countries when it spread.

Yan Jiaojiao turned to the children who had earlier accused Ruo Xuan of boasting, "Did you see that? A four-hundred-meter target! My Xuanbao hit it effortlessly! And not just once, but consistently, proving it was no fluke! This is skill! Remember not to look down on others from now on; there are always people better than you. I’ll let you in on a secret: my Xuanbao can hit targets at four hundred meters, five hundred meters, even six hundred meters, and up to a thousand meters."

Ruo Xuan nodded at those words; with Spiritual Power, a thousand meters was no big deal for her.

Just as she was about to agree, Xuanyuan Que coughed, "Ahem."

Ruo Xuan hastily waved her hand, "A thousand meters won’t work, but nine hundred meters should be possible."

Xuanyuan Que: "..."

Is there even a difference between nine hundred meters and a thousand?

Xuanyuan Que felt quite exasperated; this girl didn’t know modesty if it hit her in the face. Her set of values clearly lacked the concept of humility. It seemed he would have to be by her side to constantly remind her that she was just a mere mortal now!

If he hadn’t reincarnated with her, Xuanyuan Que felt she wouldn’t have lived past three, likely deemed a demon by others.

It seemed he had to improve the current bows and arrows to extend their range even further.

The other children let out an awestruck "wow" in admiration after hearing this.

Nobody doubted Yan Jiaojiao’s words now.

Ruo Xuan’s eyes curved into smiles as she enjoyed the admiration she was receiving.

After all, flowers love to be appreciated.

"Actually, archery is really easy; you just have to aim carefully at the spot and release the arrow! You all should try it too. Maybe you can hit the four-hundred-meter target as well."

Seeing how effortlessly Ruo Xuan and Xuanyuan Que could shoot at four hundred meters, the other children believed it was possible.

They all expressed a desire to try hitting the four-hundred-meter target.

Little did they know that this four-hundred-meter mark was a chasm that they could never cross in their lifetimes.

Yet, this didn’t stop the kids from enthusiastically picking up their little bows and arrows to attempt this seemingly insurmountable challenge.

What the future holds is for the future to decide. Who didn’t have an unreachable dream when they were a child?

Even if it never comes true, it’s still a sweet memory to look back on.

So these children, full of excitement, took on the challenge of the four-hundred-meter target, even if their arrows lacked the strength and dropped to the ground mere two or three meters away.

But each child aimed earnestly at the four-hundred-meter target as they shot their arrows.

Some children even asked Ruo Xuan for advice. No one asked Xuanyuan Que because he was just too distant; even the kids felt he was not approachable.

In contrast, Ruo Xuan’s warm smile, pretty and cute appearance, along with her sweet voice made everyone fond of her.

Thus, once one child had taken the lead, the others eagerly lined up for Ruo Xuan to teach them.

Ruo Xuan patiently shared her method with the little ones, even though her advice seemed to be of no use to them.

Xuanyuan Que stood beside Ruo Xuan, watching the group of children earnestly competing with targets at four hundred meters away.

The sun showered the earth in warmth, and even his usually cold face seemed to melt slightly with warmth, showing not the slightest hint of impatience.

Yan Heng looked at these children and felt that each one of them would become a future fierce general of Xuanyuan Country.

The children were bustling with activity, and so were the soldiers who had come to watch the competition.

Especially the veteran soldiers, they practiced archery regularly and thus knew how difficult it was.

The new recruits didn’t know, but after listening to the veterans discuss, they understood as well.

Standing next to Ruo Hai, He Dayong was excited as he said, "Brother Ruo, is your niece really that amazing? Surely her archery skills weren’t taught by you?"

"Right, she’s only four or five years old, isn’t she? Normally kids that age can’t even draw a bow, yet she can hit a target four hundred meters away. Did you teach her that? If your niece is so skilled, does that mean your archery is just as formidable? Do you have any secret techniques?"

Everyone looked at Ruo Hai.

Ruo Hai was exceedingly proud, and his tone became a bit more spirited, "Xuanbao’s archery wasn’t taught by me, my family has a heritage of natural strength, so Xuanbao’s physical power is greater than that of average children. She learned her archery from the master of the young lord beside her, they practice martial arts together every day. My Xuanbao has always been smart, quick to learn everything and doing well in whatever she picks up. She’s also exceptionally diligent, to the degree of forgoing sleep and forgetting meals in her studies."

Ruo Hai’s hand stealthily made a crossing gesture, as if, Xuanbao was clever, indeed, but when it came to studying and practicing martial arts, she was far from diligent, except for her exceptional dedication to making silver.

But he couldn’t tell everyone that, knowing too well how smart Xuanbao was might not be a good thing; in the eyes of the world, no matter how good one’s archery or martial skills are, they ultimately rely on diligent study and practice.

Xuanbao’s natural proficiency was too otherworldly to mention.

"So that’s how it is, but who could be such a renowned master to produce two such promising disciples? That archery instructor must also be a divine marksman, right? Brother Ruo, have you learned a few moves from him? Your archery must be pretty good as well?"

Ruo Hai responded, "It’s passable."

"Brother Ruo, you just mentioned your family’s heritage of natural strength. Do you also possess great physical strength?"

"It’s passable."

Upon hearing this, He Dayong felt an urge stir within him, his own strength was also considerable!

Everyone said he was as strong as an ox.

"Brother Ruo, shall we have a contest?"

"Sure, after we’re dismissed, I’ll ask the Centurion for permission."

The military camp was a place where martial strength was respected; whoever had the greatest martial strength commanded respect.

Ruo Hai did not refuse; he wasn’t young anymore, and he didn’t return to the military camp to be a mere soldier. He wanted to make a name for himself, to provide for and protect his family, and all this required him to forge his own path in the military camp.

So he wanted to establish his reputation quickly.

Since the military camp was a place that valued martial strength, it naturally allowed soldiers to spar privately.

Only soldiers who were valiant, competitive, and combative were considered good soldiers.

Now that Yan Heng’s purpose for gathering the soldiers to watch the children’s competition was achieved, and it had significantly spurred both the new recruits and the veterans, he dismissed them.

Both veterans and new recruits were stimulated; if such young kids could be so excellent, what excuse did they, as adults, have not to train hard?

The children’s competition was over, and after watching the performances of Ruo Xuan and Xuanyuan Que, the other children’s matches seemed lackluster in comparison, so Yan Heng had the group disband to train freely.

He Dayong promptly asked Ruo Hai to compete with him right away.

The new recruits around them heard and joined in too.

As they were idle anyway, they figured it would be good to compare skills and get to know one another better through competition.

Ruo Hai, who was more familiar with military regulations, took the initiative to find their Centurion and asked if they could spar; once they got permission, they went off to compete.
