Amidst the mocking tone of the crowd, Lu Yun shot the arrow directly in front of them. He pulled the bow to the full moon, and under the very puzzled gaze of the crowd, he shot the arrow directly.
It can be said that in just a moment, the arrow directly pierced through the poplar tree in the distance.
Just one arrow shot directly through the poplar tree! Although it was not a real club, it was firmly embedded in the poplar tree, submerging half of the arrow.
That is equivalent to half of the arrow successfully penetrating.
Looking at this scene, everyone present was very surprised. They couldn't believe it. What was going on?
No way?
Can the range of a bow and arrow really reach such a high level? Moreover, the power of his bow and arrow is really too great.
Although he is a scholar, the fact that he can pull the bow and arrow so slowly does make people doubt whether this story is true.
But... this bow and arrow could hit the target from a hundred paces away, which was quite incredible. They had never seen such a scene before, and many people present were stunned.
This was beyond their common sense, it was simply like a miracle. Even Princess Bai Xiaoxiao, who was watching not far away, widened her eyes in disbelief.
The main reason why this bow and arrow can be shot so far and with such great power, in addition to the fact that he has brought out the full power of the bow and arrow, is that he has modified the bow and arrow.
After all, just a slight modification could make the power of this bow so huge. Who could have thought?
I'm afraid that even if the craftsmen in their military camp came, they would not be able to achieve such perfection. This is simply unimaginable.
When he thought of this, Bai Xiaoxiao became a little excited. If he could place this transformed craftsman in the army, then their Barbarian army would have a better chance of attacking the Great Zhou.
Perhaps, there would be fewer casualties, and we would be able to launch an attack and invasion on the Great Zhou at lightning speed.
"you……"
Of course Mu Cang was shocked, his jaw dropped and his eyes widened. He couldn't believe that the scene before him was really created by a scholar. How did he do it?
But there was no internal energy flowing in his body, and he looked like an ordinary scholar, nothing big.
"How did you do that? How did you get the arrow to shoot so far? How did you get it to penetrate a poplar tree?"
Lu Yun explained calmly, "I've already said I can shoot an arrow through a target from a hundred paces away, but if you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."
"My arrow pierced the poplar tree. Do you think I can win first place in today's archery competition? If not, you can challenge me."
Everyone present was stunned for a moment. In fact, they were also hesitating about how to say this matter.
Many people also admitted that shooting an arrow through a hundred paces was indeed very powerful, but only a handful of people could do it, and none of them could do it.
"No!" Mu Cang suddenly shouted.
"Our rule is to shoot at the target. What does it mean if you shoot at a poplar tree? This is a serious violation and you won't get any points. So you should be eliminated directly from this stage."
As soon as these words were spoken, many of the people who had just praised him changed their tone and supported what Mu Cang had just said.
“That’s right!”
"The rules don't say you have to shoot through the poplar tree, but you have to hit the target. So this doesn't score any points, and it doesn't earn you first place. It's just a way to scare people."
"Even if it really shot through the poplar tree, what does it matter? In our eyes, it still doesn't matter..."
Amidst the discussions among the crowd, Lu Yun couldn't help but roll his eyes and shouted loudly.
"I didn't expect all of you to be so stingy. I thought you could be more generous."
"What's the point of cheating? I clearly said just now that if I can hit the target from a hundred paces away, I will be the best in archery."
Seeing that the two sides were about to quarrel, Princess Bai Xiaoxiao walked down and said to them, "The magnanimity of my great country is not reflected in you at all. Obviously, the Hundred Steps Shooting Arrow is powerful enough, with a longer range and greater accuracy."
"How come in your eyes, this is not within the rules? Don't we say that as long as you shoot far enough and accurately enough, it's fine?"
"The princess is also quite disappointed in you. You are all currying favor with others and have no idea what you are talking about. You speak according to your own heart and are all flattering others."
After these words were spoken, everyone present smiled awkwardly, feeling helpless in their hearts, because the princess had made them feel so embarrassed.
Besides, they didn’t mean to praise Mu Cang or slander Lu Yu on purpose.
He only said that because he was forced by the forces behind him. If Mu Cang didn't have his family supporting him, they could say whatever they wanted.
"Yes, yes, Princess, you are right." Mu Cang's face turned red and he felt embarrassed. After all, he was the one who caused those words just now.
The princess was simply scolding herself by saying this. Although he was thick-skinned, he still had to be careful sometimes.
"This 100-step shot is truly impressive. I believe Master Lu Yu will definitely take first place. He is absolutely invincible in archery."
"Okay." Bai Xiaoxiao smiled lightly, feeling very excited. She never expected that Lu Yu could actually modify the bow and arrow. If this could really help her win the hand in hand competition.
Then the emperor must be very happy.
Soon the results of the written archery test came out. No one would have thought that a weak scholar, Mr. Lu, could actually win the first place in the archery competition.
And he can hit the target accurately from a hundred paces away.
Most people think that he does have the ability to modify the bow and arrow, which may only increase his strength a little, but what is more important is that he can pull the bow and arrow to the full moon.
A bow like this is not something a weak scholar can pull casually.
This requires a lot of strength!
Even for those of them who have practiced martial arts since childhood, it would probably take a lot of energy to achieve such a range.
But! This Lu Yun really looked like nothing had happened.
Could he have secretly taken drugs? Otherwise, there is absolutely no possibility.
"Well, we've already eliminated five people from the public construction project. So what we're going to compete for next is to use our most powerful weapons to fight against them and eliminate five people."
"Finally, there are ten of us left. It's time for a showdown between the strongest. I'm sure everyone will be very happy to see this. Now, let's begin the weapons competition."
