Chapter 11 Chapter 11
"Are you all ready?" Wu Yuliang looked at Chu Xi and Xu Chongguang. Seeing that they both nodded, he announced, "The game begins."
Chu Xi shot the first arrow.
As usual, she skillfully nocked the arrow and aimed at the bull's eye.
A few seconds later, she shot her first arrow, and the score was: ten rings.
If the distance is changed to ten meters, Chu Xi's aiming accuracy will be improved accordingly. Coupled with the archery training in the past few days, she can already accurately hit the ten rings.
Xu Chongguang was observing Chu Xi out of the corner of his eye. He found that after Chu Xi shot the arrow, the recurve bow in her hand would naturally hang down and swing. In other words, she was not holding the bow tightly, and more of her strength was used in pushing the bow and pulling the string.
He finally realized his previous mistakes.
"It's your turn." Chu Xi put down the bow, turned to look at Xu Chongguang and said.
Xu Chongguang quickly withdrew his gaze, concentrated his attention, raised his bow and aimed.
He aimed to brew for a longer time, almost twice as long as Chu Xi.
The artists watching the competition around all looked at Xu Chongguang.
Everyone is looking forward to Xu Chongguang's performance with this arrow.
result--
"Fourth Ring Road? Wait, am I seeing things?" someone exclaimed in surprise.
Xu Chongguang's highly anticipated arrow only hit the fourth ring?!
[What happened? Was I too nervous and made a mistake?]
[Huh?? I heard he was challenging Chu Xi, and I thought his archery skills had improved to the point where he could easily hit the ten-ring mark.]
"I guess I was too nervous, so I didn't perform well on my first shot. I guess I can catch up later?"
The artists watching the game were a little dumbfounded.
Everyone was looking forward to the exciting duel between Xu Chongguang and Chu Xi, but in the end, one shot ten rings and the other shot four rings, which was a huge difference.
Wu Yuliang, who was hosting the game, glanced at Xu Chongguang oddly.
Just say it, this guy was at the same archery level as him two days ago, how could he suddenly improve to the same level as Sister Xi.
Xu Chongguang himself was the calmest person at the scene.
At first, he did feel a little embarrassed to challenge Chu Xi in public, but after the competition really started, he felt relieved. After all, he was not challenging Chu Xi with the intention of defeating her. It would be fine as long as he could learn some archery skills from her.
"Next arrow, Sister Xi is here." Wu Yuliang continued.
Chu Xi looked at Xu Chongguang hesitantly for two seconds before looking away.
She adjusted her breathing rhythm, looked straight at the target in front of her, took aim, and decisively released the taut bowstring.
Result of the second arrow: ten rings.
Xu Chongguang kept his eyes fixed on Chu Xi until the other party finished shooting.
He noticed that when Chu Xi aimed and shot the arrow, the arm pulling the string would be slightly higher than the horizontal line, and when shooting the arrow, the arm was also parallel.
Sometimes, as soon as the arrow was shot, his body would subconsciously relax.
No wonder his arrows missed the target.
Having secretly learned another trick, Xu Chongguang felt even more satisfied.
When it was his turn to shoot the arrow, Xu Chongguang raised the bow confidently and adjusted his rhythm according to the posture he had just learned from Chu Xi.
Result of the second arrow: eight rings.
Xu Chongguang's eyes lit up.
really!
I have made rapid progress in learning from Sister Xi.
The other artists watching the show were like: "?"
Although it is not bad that Xu Chongguang can hit the eight rings.
But with the previous duel between He Yutong and Chu Xi, everyone's appetite has been piqued to a professional level. Xu Chongguang's current archery level has completely failed to arouse everyone's interest in watching the battle.
[Goodness, this eight-ring shot is completely uninteresting to me.]
[It's all because of the previous match between He Yutong and Chu Xi. It made me so excited that I don't even think eight rings is a big deal, hahahaha.]
"I can see that Xu Chongguang's archery skills haven't improved much at all. So what's the point of him challenging Chu Xi? Is he just asking for trouble?"
Not only the audience was curious, but the artists on the scene were also wondering:
Since his archery skills are not good enough to compete with Chu Xi, why is Xu Chongguang asking for trouble?
Riding on Chu Xi's popularity?
Not really. Xu Chongguang himself is quite popular and has resources for various hit dramas.
Just like to be tortured?
This hobby is a bit unique.
Chu Xi put away his bow, pondered for a moment, turned to look at Xu Chongguang, and asked him curiously: "Do you want to learn archery from me?"
Xu Chongguang was stunned, "Ah, yes."
He was a little shocked. How did Chu Xi see that?
“…” Chu Xi was silent.
She had just been observing Xu Chongguang.
She thought Xu Chongguang challenged her because his archery skills had improved greatly, so she agreed to the challenge out of curiosity.
But after seeing Xu Chongguang shoot the first arrow, she began to wonder.
There are still many errors in Xu Chongguang's archery technique, so shooting a four-ring score is normal.
It's obvious that there hasn't been much improvement, so why challenge her?
Until Xu Chongguang shot the second arrow.
This time, Xu Chongguang's archery skills have improved greatly, and the number of rings has directly increased to eight rings.
But his improved archery movements were obviously imitating himself.
Chu Xi then realized that Xu Chongguang was not here to challenge her at all, but only to learn her archery moves.
The conversation between Chu Xi and the other person spread throughout the venue.
The artists watching the game: "?"
There was silence for two seconds, and then a heated discussion broke out.
"So Xu Chongguang challenged me just to get a free class. He's such a cunning guy, he could actually come up with such a dirty trick."
"I waited so long in vain. I thought today was another battle between gods."
"Hey, can we also go to classes like this in the future?"
In the live broadcast room:
[…I was silent. Although this explanation makes sense, I'm sorry, I really want to laugh.]
[I can only say that Chu Xi is really amazing, to be able to do something like this, hahahahaha.]
Our brother Xu really loves archery. He has worked so hard to learn it.
Referee Wu Yuliang said, "...Well done, Xu Chongguang, you're amazing. You've gone to such lengths to get a free pass on our group's archery lessons."
Xu Chongguang originally thought that his plan was well concealed, but he didn't expect that it would be exposed after he had only secretly learned two arrows.
He scratched his head awkwardly and tried to hide his guilt with a dry laugh.
Chu Xi put away the bow and looked up at Xu Chongguang. "Since you want to learn archery, I thought of a little game that's more fun and can also teach you something. Do you want to try it?"
Xu Chongguang looked up curiously, "What game?"
"It's a rapid-fire competition. There's no time to aim, just shoot directly at the target. There are a total of ten arrows, and the one with the highest total score wins." Chu Xi explained.
“!!”
The artists who had originally lost interest in the competition immediately opened their eyes wide.
"Rapid fire? Without aiming time, that would be too demanding on the players."
"For experts, even with their eyes closed, they can shoot better than amateurs. This is because long-term archery training has formed muscle memory in them. Rapid shooting should be a piece of cake for them."
"It takes a long time to develop muscle memory. Apart from professional athletes, no one would practice all the time."
The two archery competitions just now brought Chu Xi an emotional value of 2,500.
So in return, she planned to get back at Xu Chongguang and try to gain some more emotional points by taking advantage of his popularity.
The barrage in the live broadcast room broke the record again, and the entire screen was filled with barrages of various colors.
The director backstage was almost grinning from ear to ear.
Although Xu Chongguang's competition purpose was a bit unexpected, the effect was good.
This brought the number of people online in the live broadcast room to one million.
[?! I was about to leave when they pulled me back.]
This reminds me of the air pistol competition at the last Olympics. It was said that the bull's eye on the target was only the size of a coin, and the athletes had to stand ten meters away and shoot, which was no different from blind shooting.
[That's a bit off topic. That's a level only professional shooters can achieve. There's no comparison.]
Xu Chongguang thought for a moment before nodding and saying, "Okay."
Chu Xi said that this game could help him learn something, and he was willing to give it a try. He had already lost face, so it didn't matter if he lost it again.
The on-site staff quickly set up the scene and even arranged a single-person straight-shot camera for the two of them.
The artists watched the two from afar, their anticipation high in their chests.
"Who do you think will win between the two of them?"
"I think Xu Chongguang is in trouble. The rapid-fire competition was proposed by Chu Xi, so she must be confident in herself."
Qi Xiayan, who had just gone to the bathroom to touch up her makeup, returned to the venue and found that everyone had gathered in the archery area.
She realized that there was something exciting to watch and hurried over.
Qi Xiayan grabbed two artists she was usually familiar with and asked with a gossipy look on her face, "What's going on?"
"Chu Xi is going to compete with Xu Chongguang in rapid-fire shooting. There's no time to aim, just direct shooting. Let's see who gets the highest score in the end."
"Rapid fire?" Qi Xiayan was stunned. Most people don't have that kind of rapid fire ability.
Wu Yuliang now had a loudspeaker in his hand.
He yelled into the speaker, "Game on!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Yuliang hurried out of the archery area, found a good position, and prepared to watch the game.
Chu Xi calmly took out an arrow from his hand and put it on the bowstring.
Under the gaze of the entire audience, Chu Xi slowly raised his bow, turned his body slightly sideways, and aimed at the target.
She has no special abilities, and without timing, she naturally cannot achieve precise results.
However, decades of shooting training have already formed strong muscle memory in her body.
She practiced with guns countless times, firing at least 500 rounds of bullets every day. The process of aiming and shooting had been practiced tens of thousands of times and was as familiar to her as eating and sleeping.
Even though there are differences between archery and shooting, Chu Xi can adjust the aiming angle of the archery based on his shooting experience.
Draw the bow, shoot the arrow, and the arrow flies out.
Finally hit the nine rings.
The accuracy has indeed decreased, but it is already shocking to be able to achieve such a result without any aiming time.
[Holy crap! Nine rings, is this based on luck or strength?]
[Amazing! I thought Chu Xi wouldn't be able to maintain his previous accuracy during rapid fire.]
[I feel like this Chu Xi is really something, but I'm not too sure. I'll wait and see.]
