Chapter Seventy-Five: The Vibrating Bowstring
Early morning.
Wulin City, Heavy Armor Cavalry Camp
"Lin Ge, dinner is ready!" A clear and crisp voice echoed from outside the barracks.
"Uh-huh, okay." Lin Feng replied.
Lin Feng walked out of the hospital, and Su Ying and three others were waiting there.
Fang Qingxue smiled and nodded at Lin Feng, who also responded with a warm smile.
Su Yan saw it and secretly sighed.
"Let's go!"
The four of them walked together towards the army camp's cafeteria.
A huge dining hall that can seat over a hundred people. At this time, there were already five people seated inside, who were other knights, but Yun Zhongyan was not among them.
"Two sisters, come sit here!" Ma Lian'er and Chen Gang sat together with the other four, seeing Fang Qingfeng and Su Ying, called out in a crisp voice. In just a few days, she seemed to have become friends with Su Ying and Fang Qingfeng as well.
"It's all right, Lian'er sister," said Fang Qingxue with a smile. "We'll just sit here."
"Hmm!" Chen Gang saw Lin Feng and, as usual, grunted in response.
Lin Feng didn't even glance at him and walked directly to their usual spot to sit down. For the past few days, the four of them had been sitting together on the opposite side from Chen Gang's group.
Since Chen Gang and others were unwilling to give up their hostile attitude towards themselves, Lin Feng was also unwilling to forgive him.
The chef in the cafeteria was provided by the Lord's Manor of Wulin City, and the food was also extremely rich. After the four sat down, the servant had already brought up a sumptuous and exquisite variety of dishes and fruits. The four ate while chatting casually.
As the required equipment has not been delivered yet, they temporarily do not need to train. In these few days, except for Lin Feng who practices day and night, the others are extremely idle.
Chen Gang's face turned gloomy as he watched Lin Feng and the others chatting and laughing together, and finally couldn't help but...
"Hey kid, I challenge you!" Chen Gang stood up and said loudly to Lin Feng.
"Who?" Lin Feng was slightly taken aback.
"You want to challenge me? Are you serious?"
"A bit stronger, what's so great about that." Chen Gang said proudly. "Your other equipment hasn't arrived yet, and I won't bully you, today I'll compete with you in archery! I want to let you know that the old soldiers of the Xuan Jia Heavy Cavalry are not something you can look down on!"
"Chen Gang, apart from the Tianxing Bow, we also have a standard heavy sword. Do you want to compete with Lin Gege in a heavy sword match?" Fang Qingxue said with a faint smile.
"Hahaha!"
Su Ying and Su Yan both burst out laughing. Su Ying's face turned bright red as she laughed, repeatedly exclaiming: "Qingfeng sister is really too bad! Cough cough!"
Ma Lian'er was also laughing so hard she was almost crying, her chubby face shaking with fat, pointing at Fang Qingxue and giggling uncontrollably: "Qingxue sister, this mouth of yours, it's really... really..."
Chen Gang's face turned red with anger, but he had nothing to say. Liu Kun also thought Chen Gang was embarrassing enough and ignored him. He and Yuan Ce both shook their heads and sighed.
What a heavy sword? The sixth move of Tiger Fist versus the fifth move of Tiger Fist? What's the point of comparing them?
"Is it better than archery? I'll compete with you!" Lin Feng waved his hand, signaling Su Ying and the others to quiet down, saying in a low voice.
"Hmm!" Chen Gang grunted and walked out of the cafeteria first. Lin Feng followed him out as well.
A moment later, on the school grounds.
Lin Feng and Chen Gang both had their Tianxing bows on their backs, with quivers full of armor-piercing arrows behind them. Two hundred feet away stood two hardwood arrow targets, each over a foot thick, specially provided for the training of the Xuanwu Heavy Cavalry. The ordinary city guard archers' training didn't require such thick targets.
Two hundred zhang, ordinary archers can hardly see the target, let alone shoot. Only the heavy cavalry equipped with the Tianxing Bow of the Xuanjia armor has this kind of long-range shooting ability.
The Tianxing Bow is the standard equipment of the Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry, capable of withstanding the pulling force of a Tiger Fist Eighth Rank expert without breaking, its power is extremely great. If it were to be held in the hands of a Tiger Fist Eighth Rank expert, its power would be comparable to that of a Bed Crossbow.
"Holding a command flag in his hand, he smiled and said: "Let me explain the rules first. Both sides will take ten arrows each, and within the time of one incense stick, whoever hits the red heart the most wins. If you haven't finished shooting after one incense stick, you'll be declared the loser directly. If both sides haven't finished shooting, we'll still compare the number of hits on the red heart. Got it?"
Lin Feng nodded, this rule was quite simple.
"This time Chen Gang is probably going to win!" Ma Lian'er said, "This guy is useless in every way, but his archery skills are still decent. On the battlefield, he has also sniped and killed many strong enemies."
Yuan Ce smiled slightly: "Just watch! I think Lin Feng is quite shrewd, since he agreed to it, he must have his own plan."
"Archery skills are built up over years of accumulation." Liu Kun snorted, "I don't believe Chen Gang can't even beat this young whippersnapper at archery!"
In another direction.
"Lin will definitely win!" Su Ying clenched her fists tightly.
"En, it's definitely going to be." Su Yan also said.
"I guarantee it." Fang Qing smiled brightly.
Holding the Tianxing Bow, Chen Gang seemed to have entered another state, his entire being exuding an aura that made it seem as if everything was under his control. The surrounding discussions seemed to be completely unheard of.
Lin Feng couldn't help but secretly praise him, Chen Gang was actually a pretty good archer. A powerful archer also had a unique role on the battlefield.
But what about archery? Lin Feng had never been afraid of anyone.
The surrounding gossip Lin Feng all heard in his ears, but he directly chose to ignore. How strong was his heart, how could it be affected by the outside world?
"Begin!" **A loud shout, at the same time as the flag was waved down, a stick of incense on his hand had instantly ignited!
Chen Gang's spirit lifted, he reached behind his back and pulled out a long arrow from the quiver, placed it on the bowstring, then suddenly drew open the bowstring.
"Hum!" Chen Gang's long arrow had not yet been shot out when suddenly a low and muffled hum of the bowstring sounded.
"So soon?" Chen Gang was startled, his hand slightly trembling, almost shooting out the long arrow in his hand.
Turning to look at Lin Feng, he saw that Lin Feng's left hand was tightly gripping the bow arm, and his right hand was drawing the bowstring, which was suddenly released again. The humming sound of the bowstring rang out once more.
There is no arrow on his bowstring!
"Is it him?!"
Chen Gang's nose was almost crooked with anger, what is this guy doing, actually wanting to disturb his mind? Fortunately, this arrow did not shoot out, otherwise it would have been a big loss!
Lin Feng ignored Chen Gang, and once again pulled the bowstring with force before releasing it.
"How ridiculous!" Chen Gang snorted and once again gathered his thoughts.
He was after all a superb archer, and controlling his own spirit naturally had some experience. In the humming sound of Lin Feng's bowstring, Chen Gang pulled the bowstring and then steadily let go.
"Whoosh!"
A loud whistle, the piercing arrow flew out with a fierce spin, traversing two hundred yards of distance, and heavily nailed onto the hardwood target.
The arrow target shook violently for a moment, leaning back half a foot before returning to its original position. This arrow hit the red heart!
"Good!" Liu Kun shouted loudly.
"Not bad!" Lin Feng smiled and said.
Praise from Lin Feng was extremely unpleasant to Chen Gang's ears. However, this time he wasn't disturbed by Lin Feng and swiftly drew his bow again, shooting another arrow.
The long arrow shot out again and hit the bullseye once more.
"Not bad, really not bad!" Lin Feng praised, once again lightly drawing back the bowstring before suddenly releasing it.
"What is this kid doing?" Ma Lian'er asked in a crisp voice. After knowing the truth about Yun Zhiya's beating, she no longer hated Lin Feng now.
Yuan Ce bitterly smiled and said: "Don't ask me, I don't know either."
"What is Lin Dage doing?" Su Ying asked in surprise.
"Lin should have had it in the bag, he wants to make a comeback!" Su Yan said uncertainly.
Fang Qing's slender eyebrows slightly raised, and she asked in puzzlement: "Lin big brother... seems to be getting used to the Tianxing Bow? I remember that these past few days, all of us have come to practice archery, but Lin big brother has not come out except for meals. Could it be that he has never used the Tianxing Bow before?"
"Ah?" Su Ying exclaimed, "Not really?"
Incense burns slowly on his hands.
Chen Gang's face was full of confidence, and every time the arrow returned to its original position, he would shoot another one!
"Hiss!" "Hiss!" "Hiss!"......
Along with the long arrow tearing through the air, a string of arrows was nailed to the red heart one after another, turning the bowl-sized red heart into a porcupine.
Lin Feng's face always had a faint smile, quickly and virtually pulling the bowstring.
He indeed has never used this longbow before, so he still needs to get familiar with it.
Chen Gang shot another arrow and turned his head to look at Lin Feng: "I only have one last arrow left!"
"Uh-huh, I know." Lin Feng smiled faintly.
"Hmm!" Chen Gang hummed coldly, drew his bow again and released the arrow.
His hand remained steady, so this last arrow was still incredibly accurate.
"Boom!"
Just as his last arrow was shot out, Lin Feng finally shot out his first arrow!
The five-edged piercing arrow spun rapidly, instantly catching up with Chen Gang's arrow. The arrowhead was like a giant drill bit, fiercely striking Chen Gang's arrow shaft and splitting it into two segments!
Lin Feng's long arrow slightly deviated and continued flying forward, hitting his own target accurately!
The target was almost knocked down by the arrow and bounced back. After that, everyone clearly saw that the arrow also hit the red heart.
Everything was done in an instant. The crowd saw this divine technique of one arrow and were almost stunned!
"What!" Chen Gang stared at the nine long arrows on his target, completely disbelieving his eyes, and shouted, "How is this possible? How is this possible?"
"I've said it before, you're not bad." Lin Feng smiled faintly and said, "But compared to me, you're still not worth looking at!"
"Hurray!" Su Hui jumped up and exclaimed happily, "Lin brother, you're really awesome!"
Fang Qingxiang also smiled: "I knew it, you would win."
Su Yan also let out a sigh of relief, looked at Fang Qingxue with a joyful expression and sighed: "If I had such skills, it would be great..."
"Hey! You stinky brat, stop showing off!" Ma Lian'er reminded him, "Time is almost up, you haven't finished shooting yet!"
Everyone turned their heads and saw that the incense stick in his hand was left with only a small piece.
He was also shocked by this arrow, and at this time he also reacted and exclaimed: "Kid, you're awesome! However, if you don't hurry up and finish shooting, Chen Gang will still win!"
Chen Gang hummed a sound, even if he won like this, it was still tasteless.
On top of his own proud archery skills, he was actually slapped in the face, which made Chen Gang very angry.
"It doesn't matter." Lin Feng smiled faintly.
He reached behind his back and grabbed a handful of arrows from his quiver, and three long arrows were already in his hand.
Under everyone's astonished gaze, Lin Feng pulled open the bowstring with force, and three long arrows shot out simultaneously!
