…

“Everyone take your positions, ready!” yelled Li Nianzhen.

Instantly, the six students in the second group drew their bows and nocked their arrows.

“Beep!” The urgent sound of arrows being shot off rang out.

Suddenly, one hundred meters away, six roe deer burst out from their holes, desperately fleeing for their lives.

Their moving speed was roughly several meters per second, and their directions of movement were extremely erratic.

Suo Lun took the shortest amount of time to ignore all other targets and focus all his spiritual power on one of the roe deer in a black robe.

Then he realized that his spiritual power indeed allowed him to firmly lock onto this target.

But if he were to shoot at this time, it would be impossible to hit the target.

Because, during the fixed-target shooting, he had constructed an identical virtual space in his mind.

Even though he couldn’t see the bull’s-eye with his eyes, he could see it in the world of the mind and take aim.

At this moment, however, he was unable to construct this virtual space.

As the robe was constantly on the move, the virtual space also shifted endlessly.

Therefore, although he could sense and even lock onto the roe deer, he couldn’t aim at it at the same time.

The robe got faster and faster, and just a few seconds later, it escaped Suo Lun’s range of locking.

Suo Lun felt a chilling despair within him, this was only the second level of the shooting target; the third level’s moving targets would be wild dogs, twice to three times faster than the roe deer, yet half their size.

If he couldn’t hit the targets in the second level, let alone the third.

Moreover, to ensure his downfall, Princess Zhining might make the moving targets for the third phase even faster and smaller.

Instantly, Suo Lun’s heart burned with urgency.

He had come this far and truly truly did not want to fail.

If he failed, all his previous efforts would be in vain.

It would be the end for him, as well as for the Suo Family.

Despite this, even if he failed, he would garner everyone’s sympathy, but that was the very last thing he needed.

“Yao Xing, without the help of my eyes, I simply cannot aim at and shoot fast-moving targets,” Suo Lun said, “At this rate, I have no chance of completing the second half of the test.”

Yao Xing, too, was acutely aware of everything that was happening.

Suo Lun asked, “Is there any way?

I remember you once mentioned that when spiritual power reaches a certain level, one could slow down time within the world of perception.”

Yao Xing paused for a moment before responding, “It is possible, but it will require a huge, huge amount of spiritual power, dragon power.

It might burn through all the dragon power and spiritual power we’ve barely managed to accumulate, and it could even cause severe damage to your body.”

Suo Lun said, “Let’s do it!

If I lose this time, I’ll lose everything.

Keeping this spiritual power and dragon power will be completely useless.”

…

“Beep, beep, beep, beep…”

With the sound of ten arrow shots, the second level of the test came to an end.

In the second level test, like before, hitting five out of ten arrows was considered passing.

Yet out of the six students, only three passed smoothly, with the remaining three failing.

Originally, out of the six at least five would’ve succeeded, but their focus had been completely disrupted, all their attention drawn to Suo Lun, leading to a complete breakdown in performance.

However, the two noble girls who had lost their composure didn’t seem to care at all; the first thing they did after completing their test was to turn their gazes towards Suo Lun.

Then, the most crucial moment arrived.

All the spectators, whether supervisors, examiners, or fellow students, fixed their attention solely on Suo Lun.

“The third level test officially begins.”

“Shooting target, black dart, shooting distance, two hundred and fifty meters!”

Normally, this would not need to be announced, as the shooting target would be released directly.

But Li Nianzhen, dissatisfied, blurted it out, trying to provoke public anger.

And indeed, the crowd all displayed looks of astonishment.

This…

could this be any more excessive, any more shameless?

Suo Lun was already blind, and originally having wild dogs as the third level shooting targets was challenging enough.

Now, to have been switched to a black dart, the fastest flying bird, which was only just a little larger than a human palm.

The black dart, at its highest flying speed, could reach eighty to ninety meters per second.

Yes, you read that right, ninety meters per second.

This speed was comparable to an arrow shot from the bow.

Which meant that in just two seconds, it could fly out of the locking range and at such a fast speed, it was fundamentally impossible to lock onto with the mind.

Then, all eyes incredulously turned to Princess Zhining on the high platform.

Shooting black darts in flight, something not even seventh or eighth level samurai archers could achieve, was now being demanded of Suo Lun, and he was completely blind.

This was definitely an attempt to doom him!

“Shameless, shameless…”

“It’s not fair!”

Suddenly, all the students in the venue shouted aloud.

And Li Nianzhen, looking at the chief supervisor, the Dragon Temple’s Longshooter Batu, said, “Longshooter Batu, what do you think?”

By this point, Batu was completely put on the spot.

He knew that if he nodded in agreement, he would be complicit in helping the royal family suppress Suo Lun, and his reputation would be utterly ruined.

But if he didn’t agree, he would offend the royal family.

Those dragon shooters from the Sky Star Hall were nothing but second-class citizens in the Dragon Temple; the grand monks from the Hall of Arts, Hall of Spirit could look down on others, but not them.

When have you ever seen an archer held in high esteem?

Taking a deep breath, Batu said coldly, “The examination will proceed!”

Everyone once again could hardly believe their eyes as they looked at Batu.

This dragon shooter from the Dragon Temple had also fallen.

“Commandery Princess Zhining, within three days, I will be expelled from the Dragon Temple,” Batu said in a low voice.

Zhi Ning replied, “Don’t worry, I will arrange a better place for you.”

Immediately, the crowd surged, the angry students even wanted to rush the stage.

The samurai of King City, as well as those in Li Nianzhen’s camp, just quietly watched everything unfold, with no intention of intervening.

For they too were angry and felt unfairness.

“Are you trying to rebel?” Jian Ning shouted fiercely, “Once the time is up and Suo Lun has not fired his arrow, he will be deemed to have failed!”

Immediately, the angry students could no longer control themselves and charged forward.

Just as the situation seemed about to descend into chaos, Suo Lun suddenly raised his right arm high.

Instantly, the place fell silent, and everyone stopped in their tracks.

“Commandery Princess Zhining, please remember this day,” Suo Lun said indifferently.

Then, he turned to Li Nianzhen and said, “Instructor Li Nianzhen, please lead me to my examination position.”

Li Nianzhen’s eyes reddened, and she took Suo Lun by the hand and led him to his designated examination spot.

Subsequently, all the students stopped their rash impulses, stood behind Suo Lun, held their breath, and focused all their attention on him.

Li Nianzhen called out, “Take your positions, ready!”

Suo Lun quickly nocked his arrow and, using dragon power, forcefully drew the bow, aiming diagonally into the sky.

His eyes were still covered by a black veil, and tilting his head with bowed posture, he used his ears to listen to the sounds in the air.

He breathed deeply, then held his breath entirely, concentrating all his spiritual power, waiting for the signal to release the arrow.

“Drip…”

In an instant, Suo Lun released fivefold, eightfold, tenfold dragon power and spiritual power.

The tremendous dragon power, the intense spiritual power, instantly surged through his meridians, his nerves.

An indescribable agony almost made one suffocate completely.

Meanwhile, a black kite shot up into the sky like an arrow released from a bowstring.

Its speed was incredibly fast, reaching several tens of meters per second, so fast that the eyes couldn’t see clearly, let alone lock on mentally.

But now, in Suo Lun’s spiritual world, due to the release of eightfold, tenfold spiritual power and dragon power, his perception of the world intensified.

Instantly, everything around slowed down, as if time itself was decelerating within his spiritual perception.

It slowed down threefold, fivefold, perhaps even more!

Immediately, the rapidly moving black kite seemed to become a slow motion scene from a movie, every movement clearly perceived.

It was locked on entirely, with the lead and trajectory all calculated.

It was foolproof, absolutely foolproof.

“Swoosh…” Suo Lun’s arrow was fiercely launched.

In Suo Lun’s perceptual world, it was all in slow motion, all decelerated.

But in the real world, it all happened incredibly quickly, in less than half a second.

All those present suddenly witnessed a spectacular, shocking, and poetic scene.

Suo Lun, his eyes covered, head bowed, listened to the black kite in the air with his ears.

The black kite shot out like a bolt of lightning, and just moments later, Suo Lun’s arrow, like a streak of black lightning, fiercely pursued.

The two points converged, getting closer and closer.

The dark arrow was rapidly catching up to the black bird.

Then…

“Thwick…”

The black kite, not even able to let out a scream, was pierced right through in midair, trembled for a moment, then plummeted sharply.

Incredibly, it was a hit with a single shot!
