Lu Yun didn't think much about it. After all, he was now a master and could use it however he wanted. He just walked onto the arena with great confidence.
The first competition today was archery, so they did not compete on the arena, but instead held the competition in a more open area.
"Everyone, today we are competing in archery. So, who will be the first to go?"
At this time, everyone present looked at each other. They didn’t think much about it. Anyway, the sooner they died, the sooner they would be reborn.
In fact, most people know very well in their hearts that they have basically no hope of competing for the princess and they are just runners-up.
But if you can attract other people's attention or win the favor of the princess, that's completely fine. At the very least, you can at least win her favor.
"start!"
Following the command, many people shot their bows and arrows. They saw a target placed in front of them, each fifty feet, one hundred feet, or two hundred feet away.
As long as you can shoot yourself at this distance, you can be called an archer.
Lu Yun took a look and looked very calm, and directly modified the bow and arrow. Seeing him like this, many people present frowned.
Mu Cang suddenly became angry and asked angrily, "What are you doing? Who told you to modify the bow and arrow at will? Who told you to do this?"
"If this isn't cheating, then what is it?"
Lu Yun glanced at him awkwardly and explained, "What does it have to do with me?"
"Ask the princess, did she say that I can't change the shape of this bow? I feel that I can't hold this bow properly. I think this bow is too heavy. Can't I modify it?"
"You can change it too. Am I stopping you? You can change it however you want. It doesn't matter to me anyway."
Hearing his provocative words, many people present were a little angry.
They all looked at Princess Bai Xiaoxiao, but Bai Xiaoxiao shook her head at this moment, "This princess certainly didn't say in the rules that you can't modify the bow and arrow. You can modify it however you want."
"Just be able to shoot this arrow."
After hearing this, many people present widened their eyes and felt very dissatisfied. They never expected that Her Royal Highness the Princess would agree to this.
It seems that the princess is still more partial to this dead guy in her heart. I didn't expect that the princess would think so.
What is so good about this kid named Lu that makes Her Royal Highness the Princess favor him so much, trust him so much, and rely on him so much?
Thinking of this, everyone became even more angry.
Mu Cang glanced at him coldly and said through gritted teeth, "It's not that great."
"Even if you modify this bow and arrow, what good will it do? It's just a change of appearance. It can't make the bow and arrow shoot farther or become more powerful."
"It's useless even if the princess favors you. She just gives you a little hope and then lets you crush it with your own hands. What's so great about that?"
Hearing Mu Cang's sour words, Lu Yun curled his lips and said confidently, "Then why don't we compare them? Do you see the poplar tree a hundred steps ahead?"
"Do you believe that I can shoot through this poplar tree with this arrow?"
"Just standing here a hundred steps away, do you think you can do that?"
Mu Cang was stunned for a moment. He knew very well that trying to shoot through the poplar tree from a hundred steps away would be harder than climbing to the sky!
How dare this guy boast like that, and even dare to say he can do it? What a joke!
Mu Cang shook his head and said angrily, "Boy, do you really think I don't dare to compete with you? I just don't want to embarrass you too much. Do you think you can shoot through a poplar tree from a hundred steps away?"
"Do you really think this is easy? Do you really think this is simple?"
Lu Yun disagreed. In fact, he thought it was very simple, because he could simply modify the bow and arrow so that the range would become longer.
At the same time, he has now become a ninth-grade master, and he will become stronger when he pulls the bow with all his strength.
I thought, I should give it a try.
Seeing Lu Yun's disdainful look, Mu Cang was speechless. If he didn't agree, he would be looked down upon by others, including the princess.
But if I agree and then lose, it will be even more embarrassing.
After thinking about it carefully, I decided to agree to it anyway because this matter is really important.
"Alright, alright, since you want to die so badly, I'll let you die knowing full well. I'll show you that even if you try to be clever, you can't beat me in archery."
"So you agree?"
Mu Cang glanced at him coldly and said, "Yes, I agree."
"OK."
At this time, Mu Cang took the lead and stepped forward, pulled the bow to the full moon, and then shot the arrow out.
All I saw was that the arrow did not hit the poplar tree, but instead passed by it. However, the distance was already far enough.
You have to know that the maximum effective range of the bows and arrows in their hands is only fifty feet!
After more than fifty feet, the bow and arrow will become increasingly unstable, which will have a huge impact on the range, and it will not be possible to hit the target so easily.
Therefore, being able to just brush past it was already an excellent achievement. As for hitting the poplar tree, that was extremely difficult.
Shooting through this poplar tree is simply unheard of and unimaginable.
"good!"
Seeing the distance that Mu Cang's arrow shot, many people present clapped their hands, because they all thought the result was very good.
"The General of the Central Army is truly amazing. I never thought he could shoot arrows so far."
"Yes, the General is really too strong. We never imagined that this bow and arrow could shoot so far."
"Don't listen to that guy's boasting. He said he could shoot through a poplar tree from a hundred paces away. Who does he think he is? Even a powerful general couldn't do that."
"Even if we call the archers in the barracks, it's impossible to accomplish this, so don't even think about it."
“…”
Facing the ridicule of the crowd, Lu Yun remained calm and said to everyone present, "Just because he can't do it doesn't mean I can't. You all think I'm a weak scholar, and you all think I'm not good at martial arts, let alone archery, right?"
"Then today, I will let you see my true strength."
"Hmph, even if there were a hundred of you, you would never be able to defeat the General of the Central Army."
"Are you kidding me? Are you worthy enough?"
"What's wrong with me looking down on you? You're not good at archery anyway."
