The solid wood core inside the bow had long been hollowed out, and it was impossible for it to withstand the gravity of a distance of fifty meters. As long as Xu Yang tried to pull the bow to its full length with the strength of an ordinary person, it would collapse directly.
The few soldiers of the city defense army who prepared the bow all looked smug, waiting to see Xu Yang make a fool of himself. Everyone's eyes were on Xu Yang's hand.
At this moment, Xu Yang also slowly pulled the bow and arrow.
The moment Xu Yang opened his right hand, the arrow flew out again. What shocked everyone was that Xu Yang not only shot the arrow steadily without using any of his cultivation skills, but the force and impact speed of this arrow were far greater than those of the centurion.
Then, under everyone's gaze, the arrow accurately hit the center of the bull's eye, pierced through the arrow shot by her ex-husband, and completely shattered the wooden structure of the arrow.
However, this also has a disadvantage. Xu Yang's own arrow did not hit the center of the target, but everyone could see how Xu Yang won the duel.
"Hahaha, did you see it?
This is the strength of our boss. Even if there is only one bullseye position where we can put an arrow, we will make sure that your centurion's arrow is shattered."
The big crab opened its big mouth again to mock the centurion, but it heard the dissatisfied expressions of the soldiers on the city defense side.
"What the hell are you talking about, man?
In an archery competition, of course the winner is determined by the final position of the bull's eye.
Although your boss's arrow is very powerful.
But I didn't find the arrow on the target.
Only the sword of our centurion commander remained firmly on the bull's eye.
Although the intervals have been broken.
But his arrow still stuck firmly in the center of the bull's eye. How do you explain this?"
There was an obvious deviation in the judgment of the outcome between the two sides. Just when the scouts were about to have a political conflict, the centurion stood up and waved his hand slightly.
"Never mind. Although you didn't hit the center of the target with your arrow just now, we can all see that you should have hit the same spot. This round is a draw. Let's play another round and I will make sure you lose sincerely."
How could the captain not see that there was something wrong with Xu Yang's bow?
However, he only discovered this after Xu Yang shot the arrow.
In order to maintain his own face and ensure that the competition would not be unfair, the centurion gave a look to the adjutant who was preparing the materials beside him.
The adjutant shuddered on the spot, knowing that the centurion was a little angry, he dared not do anything with the bows and arrows anymore, and asked someone to select two of the hardest bows for the centurion and Xu Yang.
After seeing the centurion's fair judgment, Xu Yang nodded with satisfaction.
"Your Excellency's strength is indeed outstanding. I think it would be better to increase the difficulty of the game a little bit?"
The captain smiled and said, "Do you want me to set the rules of the game myself?"
Xu Yang nodded gently, "Yes, in this round just now, although you and I were not the winner, the centurion's fair attitude has won my respect.
I also believe that your character can make a fair judgment on this competition between you and me. So as a respect for you, I will give you the opportunity to formulate the rules of the final competition.
This way, no one else will have any right to comment on our next competition. Only you can clearly understand who is the winner between you and me."
It has to be said that Xu Yang's arrangement was quite wise. It seemed that he handed over the power of victory or defeat to the captain, but in fact, he also used this method to shut up the gossips of the 3,000 city defense soldiers around him.
Because in the next round of competition, no matter who wins or loses?
These other onlookers are not qualified to make their own judgments.
The captain of a thousand men is not the kind of despicable person who will do anything to achieve his goal. As long as they can get his approval, it will not be a problem for Xu Yang's team to pass the level.
Xu Yang's attack hit the vital point directly, and he took the seemingly complicated situation firmly under his control.
Such ability really makes the five princes around him admire him very much.
Originally, the members of the Eight Gates team could not even see the situation clearly, but the prince was a wise man. He knew very well that Xu Yang was losing small but gaining big by doing this. To have such vision and realm was enough to show how incredible Xu Yang was.
"If you want to take it, you must first give it. It's a good trick of playing hard to get. It seems that if your boss didn't have such a stunning cultivation, even if he joined the court dispute, he would definitely become the final winner.
It seems that the wisest choice I have made in my life is to make an ally of your boss. Without his help, I am afraid that my grand plan of competing for the Central Plains will not be realized so easily. "
The Fifth Prince couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Xiaohua, who was standing not far from him, also showed a relieved smile. Being able to say such words proved that in the eyes of the Fifth Prince, Xu Yang's position was irreplaceable, and he would never do something like abandoning the donkey after it has served its purpose like those other superiors.
Because I know very well that with his strength he can't control Xu Yang at all.
"Very good. Since you've already asked me this, I won't be polite with you. In the next round, I can let you use your cultivation skills, and I can do the same for myself. But according to the rules I set this time, there can't be two winners."
As soon as the centurion finished speaking, he suddenly took off the helmet on his head. You should know that as a centurion, his helmet had decorations on it.
It was a very delicate peacock feather inserted on the top of the helmet. Simply put, it was just a colorful feather, but its texture was quite tough.
Although there is only one feather, under normal circumstances, as long as the helmet on the head is not directly shattered by a strong force, this feather will never fall off.
After taking off his helmet, the centurion exerted a powerful force on his arms and threw the helmet directly into the mountains hundreds of miles away.
There is a huge rock between the mountains, but the distance is quite far. It can be said that ordinary people will see the huge rock blurry when looking at it from this place.
Of course, for the top powerhouses at the scene, although the boulder was far away, it was not so far that their vision was blurred.
However, this also highlights from the side how amazing the centurion's arm strength is. The helmet fell on the huge rock on the top of the mountain, and the peacock feather was like a thin needle a hundred meters away.
