Chapter 22: Arrowfield
The eight people on the stage looked at Qi An one after another, and now he was the only one standing under the stage, and everyone wanted to see what kind of results this young student in the entire backer branch could achieve.
In front of everyone's eyes, Qi An stepped onto the stage on his knees, but there was no embarrassed picture as everyone expected, Qi An stood on the edge of the platform very easily, with a nonchalant face.
The oppressive force of five hundred catties is indeed nothing to Qi An. Qi An has a special physique, and while he is born with divine power, he also has a strong ability to resist pressure. When he was still a martial artist cultivator, he was able to lift thousands of catties of boulders very easily, and now he is in the realm of martial arts, and his strength has at least doubled compared to the original world. According to his estimates, a two-thousand-pound object should be able to be lifted relatively easily, and a three-thousand-pound object will feel strained.
In fact, how much strength a person has, on the magnetic platform can probably withstand multiple pressures, the compressive force formed by the magnetic platform is like pressing a big stone on the person, if you can lift this big stone, it means that you can withstand this pressure, and the closer to the center of the magnetic platform, the heavier the big stone, if you can't bear it, you will be crushed by the big stone, and you will be injured if you don't do it.
The muscle strength of the Innate Martial Sect is usually around a thousand catties, but this is only a short-term strength, and it can't withstand it for a long time, just like lifting a thousand catties of boulder, it's no problem to lift a few breaths, but it's difficult to do it for an hour, even if the endurance of the Innate Martial Sect lasts, it is impossible to maintain the most vigorous strength all the time and will not get tired, so the vast majority of people can only gain a foothold in the most marginal five hundred catties of pressure.
You know, the pressure caused by the magnetic meteor platform is everywhere and never stops, and the people on the platform do not have the slightest opportunity to relax and rest, the longer the time, the more unbearable it is, just like an ordinary person carrying a bucket full of water, which is fine for a short time, but after a long time, it will become more and more uncomfortable, and subjectively will mistakenly think that the bucket will become heavier and heavier. But what is different from ordinary people is that the Innate Martial Sect has greatly increased its endurance due to opening up the whole body and returning to innate breathing, and it will not feel tired as easily as ordinary people, but too long overload will still have adverse effects after all, but it is not good.
Therefore, it is necessary to choose the pressure position in combination with your own tolerance, too easy will make people slack off and cannot play the role of exercise, and too heavy will make people accelerate fatigue and be difficult to last, and soon they will be unable to continue, resulting in the interruption of training, which is not a good ending.
Qi An kept in mind the warning of the entrance steward, and did not rush forward greedily, but slowly moved his body half step by step.
The first step out, it didn't seem to feel much; the second step out, the feeling came, but it was not very difficult; the third step, Qi An obviously felt a strong oppressive force, although he could barely take a small step forward, Qi An did not do this, but left some more spare strength, and sat down cross-legged in the current position.
The place where Qi An finally stopped was about two thousand catties of oppressive force, and everyone looked at Qi An like they were looking at a little monster. They had always mistakenly thought that this thin and young junior disciple should not be good at strength, but they didn't expect to go farther than everyone else on the magnetic meteor platform, closer to the center, and they couldn't help but secretly admire it in their hearts, and they didn't have half a contempt for Qi An.
The four of them sat silently under pressure, occasionally joining in, and occasionally getting up to leave.
Xiang Fang estimated that he was a little reluctant, and in less than half an hour, his face became quite ugly, and finally he had no choice but to get up, and stepped back a little bit outside, slightly ahead of Qu Han and Ji Zhengyue, so he persevered.
The longer this magnetic platform persists, the better the exercise effect, so no one gives up lightly, gritting their teeth and telling themselves that they must persist and persevere, until the sky is dark and the sunset is full, and the four of them have been sitting for five hours, and their stomachs are growling with hunger, so they get up and return together.
In the early morning of the next day, Qi An, who had eaten and slept well, woke up from the bed, and after washing up, he went to the courtyard to move his muscles and bones, and was pleasantly surprised to find that his strength had indeed increased slightly.
However, today's target is not the Magnetic Fall Plateau, but the Random Arrow Field, and as for the use time of the remaining five hours, there is no hurry to use it, and you can take the time to go again in two days.
After breakfast, Qi An followed the three senior brothers and a group of four people to the west, the direction of the Random Arrow Field was exactly the opposite of the Magnetic Meteorite Platform, and on the west side of the Backing Mountain Branch, the area was nearly twice as large as the Magnetic Meteorite Platform.
It's just that there is only one Magnetic Fall Platform, and there are six Random Arrow Ranges, which can allow six people to train separately at the same time.
In fact, the edge area of the magnetic meteorite platform is very large, and more than ten or twenty people don't feel crowded when they go up together, but only one person can enter a chaotic arrow field, and if there are too many people, they will have to queue up, so the Qianqing Academy will build a few more chaotic arrow ranges for several students to use at the same time.
The Ranch Archery is divided into two floors, the inner and the lower. The inner layer is a circular iron cage with large gaps and iron bars on top, while the outer layer is a ring of walls with round holes and built-in repeater launchers, which shoot blunt wooden arrows with iron at the front. There is a distance of seven or eight zhang between the inner and outer layers, and after the arrow is fired, it will pass through the iron cage, and when it is about to run out of strength, it will hit the opposite wall, but it will not cause damage to the wall.
The training method of the arrow field is very simple, the trainee enters the iron cage empty-handed, and the crossbows around him will continue to shoot arrows to the iron cage through the holes in the wall, and the trainees can only dodge the arrow attack in the narrow space of the iron cage by dexterity, and cannot use their hands and feet to block, as long as they are touched by the arrows, they are hit, and the fewer the number of hits, the better the results.
In addition, there are four training modes in the Random Arrow Range, namely beginner, intermediate, advanced and expert level, before entering, you need to inform the steward in advance, which level you want to enable, the higher the level you choose, the faster the crossbow machine fires, the denser the arrows, and the shorter the total duration.
Since it was the first time for the four of them, the steward in charge of guarding the Rancher Field had a detailed introduction, including explanations of the four modes.
The beginner mode only has 30 repeaters active with a long firing interval, the intermediate mode has 60 repeaters with a moderate firing interval, the advanced mode has 90 repeaters firing at the same time with a short firing interval, and the most advanced expert mode has all the repeater launchers with a total of 120 repeater launchers with extremely short firing intervals, almost every one interval of arrows.
Correspondingly, the higher the selection level, the shorter the total duration of a training, for example, the primary mode will last for an hour, the intermediate mode will only have a pillar of incense time, the advanced mode will be about half an hour, and the expert mode will be the shortest, probably less than forty breaths will end, but once the expert mode is activated, it is definitely a real thousand arrows, overwhelming.
Since only one of the six Arrow Ranges was occupied, and the other five were empty, Qi An and the other four could train at the same time and each enter a Arrow Range.
Of course, all four of them chose the primary mode.
The iron cage in the middle of the field has no door, but because of the large gap, you can get into it by turning sideways.
This iron cage is not to keep people inside, but to add a limit to the trainee's range of movement, to ensure that he is enveloped by the attack of the repeater, so as to improve the quality of training, otherwise if someone runs far away, the repeater does not have an automatic aiming function, and will only fire towards a small area in the center, then it will not lose the role of training?
Qi An's body bones have not yet grown, and he can get into the cage without turning sideways, and after a few breaths, he heard a "whoosh" sound in the air on the left side, and a blunt-headed short arrow more than half a foot long flew out, and the speed was even faster than that of ordinary soldiers shooting with bows, almost equivalent to the rate of fire of a martial artist.
The most common soldier of the Daqian Dynasty was the samurai level, and the martial artist was already at the rank of commander of the army, and the arm strength of the samurai was greater than that of the samurai, and he could draw a stronger bow and shoot faster arrows. However, the training object targeted by the Random Arrow Venue is at least the Martial Sect, so a single arrow cannot pose a threat, and any Martial Sect can easily avoid it. But the reason why the Random Arrow Field is called the Random Arrow Field is that there must be more than one arrow, and after a round of training, at least tens of thousands of arrows must be fired, so Qi An just sideways avoided the first arrow, and the second one followed.
Then I heard the sound of "whooshing" incessantly, and the arrows flew one after another from all directions, barely giving people time to breathe.
Qi An tried his best to dodge, but there were thirty crossbow machines fired in turn, and it was obviously difficult to dodge completely, not a single arrow hit. However, Qi An has an advantage, that is, he is short, small, and the target is not as big as an adult, and the Random Arrow Range is obviously designed according to the physique of an adult, and some arrows that should have been shot at the head Qi An didn't have to dodge at all, and flew directly overhead.
But the arrows are not only shot from one direction, but in all directions, the front can be seen is good, the back can not be seen is a little unguardable, just by listening to the wind to identify the position is not enough, more often rely on feelings, such as the induction of air flow, the perception of danger, the prediction of the position, etc., very test the instantaneous reaction ability and the speed and dexterity of the body.
However, the space in the iron cage is so large, and the arrows are continuously shot, no matter how you dodge, it is inevitable that there will be a miss, and after a training session, Qi An was hit by fifteen arrows.
