He knocked his teeth lightly, feeling a little angry in his heart. Before he could finish his words, Luo Jiujiang beside him laughed out loud: "Thank you for lending me your strength, brother."
What? Qiu Changyun thought confusedly: What is borrowing power?
Luo Jiujiang smiled without saying a word. Seeing that the divine heron was hit by the arrow that broke through the air, it really flew lowered its body as he had just seen, and passed by the arrow with a strange cry.
The slingshot in his hand had been fully loaded, and now that the height was right, he naturally let go. Under the eager gaze of everyone, the small orange flower bud flew straight towards the divine heron, and then exploded on the snow-white feathers on its chest and abdomen, hitting it right on the mark, without a single mistake.
He actually managed to hit it! With just this tattered slingshot and a flower bud! For a moment, everyone either looked up at the giant white bird in a daze, or stared at Luo Jiujiang in amazement, so shocked by this unexpected situation that they forgot everything.
So this is what he meant by thanking him! At the same time, a huge exclamation mark echoed in Qiu Changyun's mind.
Of course, a light flower bud couldn't be shot very high, but the bird didn't always fly that high. After watching the students shoot a round just now, Luo Jiujiang had more or less figured out its playful habits and made up his mind.
What if the marbles can’t reach that height?
——The maximum height at which the flower bud pops out is fixed, but the bird is alive. Can't you just let it get closer and shoot it?
This line of thought was so simple, almost linear, that it wasn't difficult to guess, and shouldn't have been so surprising. It's just that most people couldn't even hit a divine heron with a bow and arrow, so who would dare switch to a slingshot? As for students with such skills, they'd long since become accustomed to powerful weapons. Who would even bother to look back at the crude and primitive tools in Luo Jiujiang's hands?
"It's clear indeed! It's clear indeed!" Someone quickly reacted in the silence. The scholar who had just spoken out on behalf of the independent cultivator clapped his hands in approval, "Junior Brother, I didn't understand what you meant when you said 'Liu Yunxia' was clear. So this is what you meant."
Everyone saw with their own eyes that the flower bud touched the white bird's chest and abdomen, and then splashed out like flowers scattered by a fairy, leaving behind a touch of fireworks-like splendor for an instant, and the whole flower seemed to have bloomed to its fullest.
After the scholar pointed it out, everyone finally realized: normally, a bud would just hit a hard object, leaving at most a splash of juice and a trace, but the entire flower would be crushed to pieces. However, after Luo Jiujiang's bow, the force was just right to make the flower explode so gorgeously. What kind of precise control did this represent?
This move is not only beautiful in appearance, but also has amazing skills!
"...Brother Qiu, this young man is indeed extraordinary." After a while, a student in the crowd suddenly spoke.
As fellow students at the academy, this person wasn't intentionally trying to boost Luo Jiujiang's ambitions and undermine the prestige of his fellow disciples. It was just that while the level of Kyudo ability wasn't as obvious as cultivation, it wasn't difficult to judge given the huge disparity.
The person who spoke had a soft voice and tactful words, revealing that he was trying to persuade Qiu Changyun to calm down and admit defeat directly, so that he could preserve the last bit of his dignity.
This person's words were just the beginning, and soon everyone echoed him one after another: "That's right, little brother is a handsome man."
"I didn't notice just now, this junior brother is also at the third level of foundation building."
"Junior brother, you're not very old, are you? You're about sixteen? Such talent is unheard of."
The students at the academy originally had good intentions. They were half sincere and half flattering, intending to praise Luo Jiujiang highly so as to pave the way for Qiu Changyun to step down - "It's not that we didn't work hard, it's just that our opponent is too talented."
However, Qiu Changyun couldn't calm down at this moment. He was impulsive and arbitrary by nature, otherwise he wouldn't have beaten the cultivators so badly for a single arrow. The huge gap in his heart had already given him a great shock. He repeatedly denied it in his heart, repeatedly trying to convince himself that the slingshot must have been a fluke. Now, seeing his classmates praising Luo Jiujiang, he was furious to the point of losing his mind.
He had no time to think about the goodwill these words actually contained towards him. He only saw that as soon as the other party shot down the slingshot, his friends began to surround the black-clothed boy who was originally penniless!
Who was the prodigy of the Kyudo Club? Who had shot down the only two snow feathers this month? And who had previously won first place in the Kyudo competition? Qiu Changyun thought angrily: Have you all forgotten all this?!
Luo Jiujiang glanced sideways at him, noticing no regret on his face, only smoldering rage. He sighed inwardly, his movements still brisk. He pressed the string to the flower, narrowed his eyes, and released his hand. Three flower buds shot out in rapid succession, forming a graceful line in the air. At the same frequency, three unique fireworks, identical to the previous ones, burst onto the divine heron.
From the crisp movement of his bow, to the smooth arc drawn by the flower bud in the air, and even to the beautiful scene with sharp contrast between white and orange at the end, every fragment in this short moment is enough to make people dazzled.
"Consecutive arrows, no! Consecutive slingshot flowers?!" someone exclaimed.
This name sounded really weird, and Luo Jiujiang couldn't help but curl his lips.
If everyone looked at Luo Jiujiang with admiration when the first bow was drawn, now there was only amazement in their eyes.
Although continuous arrow shooting is not easy, there are still about ten people in the Kyudo Club who can do it. But what if they were given a slingshot and a bunch of flower buds and asked to try it? It would be much more difficult than continuous arrow shooting!
It can be said that the students are ignorant of the situation. They are good at bows and arrows, so they ignore one important issue: Luo Jiujiang is actually more familiar with slingshots than bows and arrows.
