As Dong Zhuo finished his rehearsal, Lü Bu also came before the crowd.

Lu Bu only held a large bow in his hand, while he placed the halberd aside.

Since Huang Zhong was ordered to follow Zhang Rang to be in charge of population statistics and land surveying in Ji Province, the training of the Imperial Guards in horsemanship and archery was temporarily taken over by Lü Bu.

"Gentlemen, draw your bows immediately. In addition to the stability that Zhongying just mentioned, you should also follow the flow and remain calm."

"Following" means that the rider and the horse move in unison, maintaining a balance between each other during the gallop.

Stillness means focusing one's mind and spirit; while moving with the horse, one must keep a close eye on the target, unaffected by external factors, so that one can strike with deadly precision!

Lu Bu then carefully analyzed the essentials of mounted archery, and everyone listened with nods of approval.

After the explanation, Lü Bu mounted his horse and galloped towards the target.

Although the warhorse under Lü Bu's horse was not as easy to control as his previous horses, Lü Bu's superb riding skills were enough to make up for this shortcoming.

A moment later, as he reached effective firing range, Lü Bu released the reins, drew his bow, and with a "whoosh," the arrow shot out and hit the center of the target.

With the arrow striking, Lü Bu pulled the reins slightly with his right hand, causing his galloping warhorse to change direction and veer to the right. Lü Bu then took two arrows, nocked them on the bowstring, and fired them with lightning speed and precision, hitting the center of two targets a hundred paces away.

Immediately, Lü Bu spurred his horse again and charged towards the pile of scarecrows, constantly drawing his bow and nocking arrows, unleashing a rapid-fire archery technique. In just a few breaths, more than ten arrows whistled out.

Under the watchful eyes of all the trainees, Lu Bu's arrow shot out like a swung dart chain, hurtling towards the pile of scarecrows and accurately piercing their throats.

In an instant, the scene fell silent. Everyone stared wide-eyed at Lu Bu, who was standing in the distance, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

"My God, how...how did he do that...?"

"Having seen him today, I can confirm that Lü Bu truly lives up to his reputation; he is indeed incredibly powerful!"

After the initial shock, everyone couldn't help but admire Lü Bu's horsemanship and archery skills.

Yuan Shao also looked at Cao Cao beside him and asked, "Mengde, in your opinion, how does Lü Bu's archery skill compare to General Hansheng's?"

Cao Cao shook his head slightly: "I don't know, but it shouldn't be bad...!"

Liu Bei said, "It is truly our good fortune to have such a person teach us archery!"

There were many people who shared Liu Bei's sentiments, and their eyes were filled with longing as they looked at the arrows stuck in the throats of the scarecrows.

Although the members of the Imperial Guard were classmates, they still let their strength speak for itself.

The skills of Lü Bu, Dong Zhuo, and Zhang Xiu were also recognized by the students.

Soon, everyone remembered the key points taught by Lu Bu and the others and began formal training. Although they could not perform as smoothly as Lu Bu and the others, they were able to complete some simple operations.

Thanks to the double stirrups, even Dian Wei could symbolically draw his bow and nock an arrow while sitting on horseback, though his accuracy was rather poor.

After seeing the set of small halberds that the emperor had prepared for Dian Wei, Lü Bu said nothing more. He knew that Dian Wei's talent lay in throwing, which made Dian Wei the most unique among them. He would throw the small halberds while others were shooting arrows.

During a break from training, while everyone was resting, Lü Bu went straight to Zhang Xiu.

Seeing Lü Bu approaching, Zhang Xiu asked curiously, "Fengxian, is there something you need?"

Lu Bu looked at the White Dragon Spear in Zhang Xiu's hand, and then asked, "Wen Jin, when I watched you practice just now, the spear technique you used looked quite familiar. I wonder if it was the signature move of the spear master Tong Yuan, 'Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix'?"

Zhang Xiu nodded and asked curiously, "Indeed, but how did you know, Fengxian?"

Lu Bu laughed and said, "That's it. My master and Master Tong Yuan are from the same school, so naturally I recognize my uncle's spear technique!"

"Uncle-Master...?"

Zhang Xiu was taken aback, then his face lit up with joy: "Could it be that Fengxian has become a disciple of Senior Uncle Li Yan?"

"Indeed, I studied under my master in Jizhou for four years, and only descended the mountain last year..."

"So it's Senior Brother, I greet you!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiu's face lit up with joy, and he quickly bowed to Lü Bu.

"Oh, you're too kind, junior brother!"

Lu Bu also stepped forward to help Zhang Xiu up, his face showing undisguised joy.

Then Lü Bu said, "Junior brother, I just observed you using your spear. In some places, you could have used skill to control the situation. Why did you choose the path of force instead?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiu smiled wryly: "To be honest, senior brother, I am of dull talent and have never been able to grasp its subtleties, hence this..."

Lu Bu comforted him, saying, "To be able to receive such a unique skill from your master, junior brother, your talent must be extraordinary. It must be that your temperament is incompatible with the 'Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix'!"

"Senior brother is indeed formidable. My master once said that I am not suited to learn this spear technique, but I really love it... Now that I have been down the mountain for a long time, my spear technique has not improved at all. It is too late to regret it!"

In the end, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but show a hint of disappointment on his face.

"Junior brother, do not worry. Although I am not good at spear fighting, I have carefully studied my master's spear fighting techniques when I was following my teacher, and I have gained some insights that may be of some help to you!"

Lu Bu was a man who valued relationships the most in his life. He always regarded his master Li Yan as his biological father. Now that he had met his junior brother, he couldn't help but want to guide him.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiu's eyes lit up, and he immediately bowed to Lü Bu, saying, "In that case, I thank you in advance, Senior Brother!"
