In the morning practice, Xia Liang practiced archery seriously, and it was strange to say that her archery skills were not only fast but also very accurate.

For those who choose to use bows and arrows, the demand for arm strength is extremely harsh, and although Xia Liang is a woman, she has stronger arms than ordinary teenagers. The bows used on weekdays are also the hard bows used by the archers in the army.

It's just that she has always been a crosshair, but when Helian Mu was standing next to her, the arrows she shot couldn't be aligned with the bull's-eye, and even a few arrow feathers missed the target directly.

Ten iron arrows have been fired in a row, but there are only four arrows stuck in the target, and none of them are in the heart. Taking a deep breath, Xia Liang adjusted slightly, and when he was about to draw the bow again, his body trembled slightly. Suddenly there was an extra person behind him, reaching out to clasp his hands.

She was slightly stunned, and raised her eyes to find that Helian Mu had covered the back of her hand. Re-aim the bull's-eye for her, and whisper: "Remember, the heart should not be disturbed by anything in the outside world, as long as the heart is stable, the arrow you shoot will be stable and accurate!" ”

The sound of the spring breeze sounded in his ears, so close that Xia Liang could almost feel his breath, lingering in his ears. The aftermath was engraved into her heart, ringing in her head.

"I've adjusted it, try again!" Helian Mu stepped aside and whispered.

Xia Liang pursed his lips slightly, quickly adjusted his state to calm his heart, sighed deeply, pulled his bow and arrow, and let go of his hand, all in one go, the strong force hit the bull's-eye, bringing up a circle of grass clippings.

Helian Mu stood behind her, watching every arrow she shot with indestructible power, a faint smile rose at the corner of his mouth, he didn't linger and just quietly turned away.

Not long after Helian Mu left, Yin Gewan pulled Du Huanqing and trotted over, Yin Gewan said, "Ah Liang, take a rest, let's eat first." ”

Xia Liang put away his bow and arrows, and Du Huanqing couldn't help but ask: "What did His Royal Highness tell you just now, the two of them are really close!"

Xia Liang walked straight forward, as if he hadn't heard Du Huanqing's words.

Du Huanqing paused and looked at Yin Gewan, and then looked at Xia Liang's back in front of him. Yin Gewan cut lightly and said: "Let's go, I'll not even eat when I'm late, it's not a bad thing for Ah Liang to get close to His Royal Highness, and it's good to take care of things in the future, Ah Liang, you're right!" ”

Xia Liang only came back to his senses at this time, but he smiled slightly and didn't speak!

The winter exam is approaching, but the guards of the Shura field send a box of clothes every once in a while, Xia Liang and the three of them are not short of clothes, but the food every day is more and more insufficient to fill their stomachs, so every few days, someone will disappear silently. Hunger, injuries and illnesses are a nightmare for the weak, and they never disappear from them.

After the heavy snowfall, before dawn on this day, Helian Mu asked Zifeng to inform the instructors and let them go to the main camp for a meeting: "I will arrange for them to take the winter exam today." ”

Several instructors were slightly stunned after hearing this, and at this time, someone whispered: "But Your Highness, this winter exam is a month in advance, and the women's mileage Yin Ge has the highest evening exercises." And the men's group has no worries, this comfortable exercise is also undoubted, if His Royal Highness only has two places according to the winter exam in previous years, this Xia Liang and Du Huanqing are only afraid of ......"

Although His Royal Highness did not say it explicitly during this time, everyone could see that he was still quite special to Xia Liang, so it was appropriate for the instructors to have concerns.

It's just that after hearing this, Helian Mu said indifferently: "What are you afraid of?" ”

The instructors didn't dare to speak, and after Helian Mu gave the order, he asked people to go down and prepare.

The snow had fallen all morning, and at last it had cleared at noon, and the gray cumulus clouds had dispersed, and the sun was revealed, and the sun shone on the snow, shaking people's eyes with pain.

The 160 orphans in the Shura field were taken to another place by the instructors.

Xia Liang looked left and right and found that this was actually a Colosseum specially designed for the royal nobles to watch and play. The solid rock fence was high but had been abandoned for a long time, and the site was overgrown with weeds, and some thorn vines were jutting out of the cracked rock.

Among the weeds, there are many animal cages that are more than two meters high and wide covered with rust. An iron fence the size of a thumb, on which you can still faintly see dark blood stains that have melted into the rust.

On the high platform in the distance, all the Xuanyi guards stood in a row, and Helian Mu was wrapped in a purple cloak and reclined on a special mink couch.

The teenagers under the beast field were divided into two waves and lined up in several rows by the sect leaders, Helian Mu glanced at them lightly, and said slowly: "There are only two places for the winter exam, if you want to stand out, show your skills, there is only one chance!" ”

All the teenagers were shocked, however, Helian Mu didn't give them time to adjust at all, and the instructor had already stepped forward, ready to draw lots to select weapons, and then put the fighting group into the beast cage.

Yin Gewan and Xia Liang glanced at each other, and then their eyes invariably turned to Shu Chang.

Shu Chang's gaze also fell on the two of them, because among all the people here, if they had to choose the last strong man by force, then the three of them would have the power to compete.

There was no time for them to think about the preparations, and Yin Gewan and another sturdy teenager were put in the animal cage.

Yin Gewan chose a short sword, her opponent, each holding a blade thorn in both hands, five fingers clenched, the green tendons on the fingers came out, and her eyes stared at Yin Gewan vigilantly.

Yin Gewan didn't care, this person was not her opponent, she glanced at Xia Liang outside the beast cage again, picked up the short sword and began to attack.

Xia Liang raised his head, Helian Mu was a little far away, he had already sat up straight when the teenagers started to fight, and he was still familiar with the face in his heart, with the majesty of a king in his every move.

There was no familiar longbow in the weapon, only a small and delicate arm crossbow. Xia Liang chose it without hesitation.

Arm crossbow, she has never been trained, Helian Mu in the stands saw it, and only smiled slightly, as if it was expected by herself.

However, this long-range weapon, used in such a small place, I don't know if it can exert its due power.

Helian Mu watched the duel in the field with great interest, some people will die in the duel, some people will be seriously injured and become invalids, the first round of duels is over, among the one hundred and sixty teenagers, half of them have been eliminated.

Maybe it was the special arrangement of the instructors, Xia Liang and the three women duel with others separately, and they didn't meet each other after the competition along the way.

And Yin Gewan can always solve the opponent in the fastest and shortest time, and then sit in the beast cage to seize the time to recover his strength, and the loser will be dragged away, and then start the next battle.

There is not much time to rest, because there are only ten people left, and next, they are afraid that they will have no way to avoid it, so they will face off directly.
