Chapter 194 - 194 133 Genius Performance!

194: 133: Genius Performance!

Nai’er Returns!_2 194: 133: Genius Performance!

Nai’er Returns!_2 There was only one explanation, this person was a natural born archer with divine archery talent, capable of shooting purely based on feeling.

Such individuals were terrifying, they did not need high spiritual power to hit the target every time.

And such individuals were truly one in a million; they would not cultivate any other martial arts but would solely focus on the path of archery.

In any country’s military, they were invaluable treasures that were difficult to come by.

Everyone present was completely dazzled.

The supervising Archer Chief, Yuan Jie’s eyes shone brightly as he had apparently come across a genius with divine archery talent.

It was truly astounding.

Such talented individuals with divine archery were extremely rare in the world, and this Fen Mo before them was still so young.

In a few years, there was no doubt his archery skills would surpass his own, and within five years, his cultivation would surely break through to that of a Dragon Shooter.

A Samurai archer was not particularly valuable, but once someone became a Dragon Shooter, everything changed.

Whether on the battlefield or in the realm of martial arts, the value of a Dragon Shooter was immeasurable.

If he devoted himself entirely to the development within the Silver Wolf Legion, then Yuan Jie would not hesitate to designate him as his successor and promote him to Archery Battalion Commander.

Moreover, if he could advance to a Dragon Shooter within a few years, then he would be worthy of the young lady.

And once married to Yan Nai’er, he would become the next Wolf King of the Silver Wolf Legion.

Instantly, Fen Mo’s stature in Yuan Jie’s mind soared to great heights.

Suo Lun noticed that after Fen Mo’s performance of the twenty Chain Arrows, the remaining competitors were completely subdued by him, the light of awe clearly visible in their eyes.

An intermediate Samurai archer was not formidable; given enough time, they too could reach that level.

However, a genius with divine archery talent was truly fearsome; they were almost destined to become a Dragon Shooter from birth.

Once someone became a Dragon Shooter, they had reached the pinnacle of martial arts in the world.

Even in the Holy Temple, they would have a place of honor.

…

Seeing Fen Mo’s stunning performance subdue the entire field inspired a strong competitive spirit within Suo Lun.

“Yao Xing, what will it take for me to achieve nineteen Chain Arrows?” Suo Lun asked.

Yao Xing said, “Master, is that necessary?

Winning is enough.

You don’t have divine archery talent, so you must rely on spiritual power to lock and aim.

To perform Chain Arrows, you need to construct a virtual space in your mind just like last time.

Then, within the Spiritual Illusion, you aim and shoot, and you also have to release a tremendous amount of spiritual power to slow down the time in the spiritual world.”

Suo Lun asked, “How much more spiritual power will it take?”

“Over five times,” Yao Xing said.

“Fine, then let’s use five times the spiritual power,” said Suo Lun.

A rational person should ideally keep a low profile and aim for victory.

But Suo Lun was highly competitive and absolutely could not stand to be outdone after witnessing Fen Mo’s impressive performance.

So, he began to replay the scene from the Royal City Academy.

First, he drew his bow and nocked the arrow, but instead of releasing the arrow, his Dragon Power erupted forth.

Since he could see with his eyes, it was effortless for his Dragon Power to hit the bullseye and rebound back, caught by Yao Xing who then calculated the absolute precise data.

Then, based on that distance and height, he quickly constructed a virtual space in his mind.

Within the virtual space, there was only Suo Lun and the target.

From then on, Suo Lun’s archery no longer required his eyes; all aiming was done in the virtual space within his mind.

And by releasing several times his spiritual power to slow the passage of time in the spiritual world several fold, he appeared to take two seconds to aim when in reality not even half a second had passed.

…

Therefore, a peculiar scene unfolded on the field.

The strongest, Fen Mo, had completed the shooting of twenty arrows and stood aside, resting with his eyes closed.

The remaining seven people were also continuously shooting, hitting their targets again and again.

Only Suo Lun stood there, bow raised, yet he hesitated to shoot for a long while.

The Archery Battalion Commander, Yuan Jie, shook his head internally, thinking that this Lanling lacked the necessary mental fortitude, completely overawed by Fen Mo’s prodigious performance.

It took him so long to aim his second arrow, a clear result of an unsettled mind.

It seemed his elimination was a foregone conclusion.

Yuan Jie was even certain that Lanling wouldn’t be able to hit the target with this second arrow, for he had been thoroughly intimidated by Fen Mo.

However, at that moment.

“Swoosh…” Suo Lun released his second arrow, and it immediately hit the bullseye.

Archery Battalion Commander Yuan Jie was taken aback and then breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Lanling could overcome this psychological hurdle, his following performance might still hold some promise.

But what he absolutely hadn’t anticipated was that an even more astonishing scene was about to unfold.

Chain Arrows, it was Chain Arrows again!

“Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh…”

Without any pause, Suo Lun shot the second arrow, then the third, the fourth…

In less than four seconds, he had fired all nineteen remaining arrows.

These nineteen arrows almost formed a straight line in the air.

“Bang bang bang bang…” Then, a sound as dense as raindrops pelting the ground erupted.

All nineteen arrows hit the bullseye in an instant.

One hundred percent accuracy, every shot on target.

In that instant, the atmosphere at the scene became nearly suffocating.

The other archers present stopped shooting and looked towards Suo Lun, their gazes filled with awe and almost despair.

And Fen Mo, who had been casually resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes wide in shock, staring at Suo Lun.

The most astonished of all had to be Archery Battalion Commander Yuan Jie; his eyes widened to their maximum, hardly able to believe what he was seeing in Suo Lun.

Another one?

Another prodigy with a divine archery talent?

Before, he thought Suo Lun was doomed to be eliminated, believing that Suo Lun had been daunted by Fen Mo, which was why he hesitated so long before firing the second arrow.

But it turned out that his competitive spirit had been ignited, so he too was preparing to perform the nineteen Chain Arrows.

A prodigy with divine archery talent is one in a million.

Unexpectedly, today he saw two, and both of them in the Silver Wolf Legion.

So, so stunning!

Then, is there any need for further competition?

From nine candidates to choose two, the emergence of two geniuses in archery meant the remaining seven had no need to shoot anymore.

The gap between mortals and prodigies cannot simply be bridged by effort.

Just then, outside the camp, the sound of urgent horse hooves could be heard.

“Miss Yan Nai’er is back!” Then, there was a stir inside the camp.

Suo Lun’s heart skipped a beat as well.

Yan Nai’er was returning to the camp.

Would this most beautiful woman of the frontier, this woman who once had an unrequited love for Suo Lun, finally make her appearance?

Regarding Yan Nai’er, he had only seen her portrait.

Now he wanted to see for himself just how beautiful she was to earn the title of the frontier’s number one beauty!

So beautiful, in fact, that people often forget she is also a woman of exceptional martial prowess.

…

Note: The second update is here.

I’ve been feeling really down these past couple of days.

I have to rely on vast amounts of coffee to stimulate my brain and get excited before I can fully immerse myself in the plot.
