Chapter 4 Remembering with Blood
A female professor with a scroll in her hand walked quietly.
In front of her was a quiet hill, surrounded by endless barren meadows.
The mountain breeze blows the knee-high grass, undulating like waves of wheat.
This is a very meaningful and poetic picture, but an arrow falling from the sky breaks the serenity of the picture and makes it even more epic.
The arrow shot out of the mountain in front of her, falling between heaven and earth, the arrow was black, drawing a black line in the clear blue sky, but because it was too fast, it stirred up a white air flow around the arrow, forming a white wave, like a comet falling.
After this arrow fell, another arrow shot out of the mountain, and once again cut a black mark in the sky, a white vortex, and fell fiercely into the wasteland somewhere.
The female professor, whose hair was slightly messy, looked up at the traces of the sky slightly, and continued to move forward.
"Professor Ann. ”
Lin Xi, who was practicing archery in the mountains, had already seen An Keyi, because he knew that An Keyi's level was higher than Tong Wei, so when he watched the young female professor go all the way up the mountain and appeared in front of him, when Lin Xi saluted the female professor, he was not much surprised except that he was a little curious about why she came here.
An Keyi, who was very bookish, saluted Tong Wei, Lin Xi and Bian Linghan back, then looked at Tong Wei and asked in her usual reading-like tone, "How are they practicing?"
Tong Wei glanced at the bow body of the black longbow that had been slightly deformed under Lin Xi and Bian Linghan's several openings because of the excessive bearing force, and said in a deep voice: "If Bian Linghan's test shot is first, five or six of the ten arrows can barely hit the target five hundred steps below. ”
An Keyi stretched out his hand and clipped a few strands of his scattered hair behind his ear, thought for a while, looked up at Lin Xi and said, "You shoot me with all your strength and take a look." ”
Lin Xi, who had long been very familiar with An Keyi, and had seen An Keyi's strength in the fire, although he didn't understand An Keyi's true intention when he said this, he and Bian Linghan were very clear that what he and Bian Linghan were practicing now was to use the strength of a soul master to deal with a soul master, and An Keyi's cultivation was obviously far above the soul master, so he naturally knew that his arrow would not pose any threat to An Keyi, so he just looked at the female professor curiously and asked, "Is it here?"
"Right here. An Keyi nodded, then turned around and walked out of nearly a hundred steps, and said to Lin Xi: "It's okay." ”
Lin Xi nodded, didn't say much, opened his bow concentratingly, and an arrow whistled out, shooting accurately at An Keyi's left shoulder.
An Keyi didn't move, there was a faint yellow light flashing on her left shoulder, and with a "poof", Lin Xi's arrow left a hole in her college professor's black robe, but it fell directly and weakly. An Keyi's body only shook slightly, and there was not much damage at all.
"Shoot another arrow. Without waiting for Lin Xi to ask anything, An Keyi nodded at him and said.
Lin Xi held the feather again, drew the string, and shot an arrow at An Keyi's right shoulder.
He didn't want to play any symmetry, he just thought that even if he was wearing the black armor in the academy trial valley, if there would be no damage to his body, the impact of the arrows would always make people feel a little painful, and if the two arrows hit the same position, it would naturally make people more painful, so he aimed at An Keyi's right shoulder.
When the pitch-black arrow landed on An Keyi's right shoulder, there was still a yellow light flashing on An Keyi's shoulder, but Bian Linghan instantly let out an exclamation, which shocked Lin Xi in disbelief, the arrow did not fall, but a trace of blood light burst out on An Keyi's shoulder.
Tong Wei's eyebrows raised slightly, but he remained silent and didn't say anything.
The tail feathers of the arrow trembled slightly, An Keyi stretched out Bai Shengsheng's left hand, frowned slightly, and directly pulled out the arrow, very skillfully stopped the bleeding and applied medicine, and then threw the arrow back to Lin Xi.
"The soul power I spread outside my body before was about equivalent to the soul power of an intermediate soul master plus the strength of ordinary soft armor, and the soul power I spread outside my body this time is equivalent to the strength that I have just broken through to a beginner soul master. Looking at Lin Xi, who frowned deeply, An Keyi said in a tone that did not have many twists and turns like a book.
"Thank you, teacher. Lin Xi's heart condensed slightly, first bowed solemnly to An Keyi, and then looked down at the blood stains on the arrows.
He and Bian Linghan are both very smart, so An Keyi just said that, and both of them understood that An Keyi did this to give them the most intuitive impression.
Since the current Saint and the Thunder Academy instructors all feel that the real battle can make the combat power increase the fastest, then for this competition between the two academies, the five freshmen selected by the Thunder Academy will probably have more fresh blood in their hands. Naturally, they would know very well how the other party would react and how blood would splash out when their blades slashed at a cultivator of the same rank or who was slightly higher than their own cultivation.
However, Lin Xi and Bian Linghan did not have this intuitive impression.
The two of them didn't know how much damage their current arrows would cause when they really landed on the cultivator's body, what kind of wounds would be left on each other's bodies, and how much blood would flow out of each other's bodies.
Tong Wei is naturally extremely clear about the power of the arrow, but it is only in Tong Wei's mouth, so it is naturally not as good as An Ke to teach by word and deed, and the blood flowing on his body has a vivid and profound memory.
Lin Xi looked at the pitch-black arrow in his hand, there was blood on the two knuckle-length arrows, but on the pitch-black arrow shaft, there was hardly any trace of blood.
He took a deep breath and looked over Encore's shoulder, which had a flower-like wound on her arrow, and as he looked at it, Encore raised the arm and waved at him.
This made him and Bian Linghan very clear that with him and Bian Linghan using this standard bow and arrow at the moment, they could penetrate the depth of two knuckles in the body of the junior soul master, but unless they could hit the fatal point, they might not be able to completely affect the opponent's combat power. And in the face of an opponent of a middle-level soul master cultivator, he and Bian Linghan may not be each other's opponents at all in such a face-to-face situation.
"Don't be discouraged, this is just a limited competition after all... With your cultivation at the moment, you are not only using this standard bow and arrow, our academy has more strong bows that are suitable for you to use now. If you really rush to the local or border army to carry out the mission, with your cultivation and archery skills, and use the bow and arrow that is most suitable for you now, even high-level soul masters may be severely injured by your blow. You must understand that a strong archer is always the existence that practitioners fear the most. Looking at Lin Xi and Bian Linghan, who were moved because of their own attempts at arrows, and a little discouraged because they felt that their power was not enough, An Keyi taught in a flat voice: "It is precisely because of this that many cultivators do not act alone, and even some powerful archers on the other side have some cultivators who are dedicated to protecting their own archers in order to prevent the assassination of the opponent's archers. And that's why the academy wants the two of you to play at the same time. ”
"Students understand. Lin Xi took a deep breath. Looking at the blood on An Keyi's shoulder and the pitch-black arrow, he clearly understood that this was the difference between Vice Dean Xia's group and some people. Just like the fresh blood at the moment, it made him feel humanity and friendship, and made him feel the preciousness of life even more, but those who used the blood of prisoners and captives as a help for cultivation, I am afraid that their hearts will be more and more lacking in that kind of pity for the weak and respect for life, so when Helan Yuexi saw him for the first time that day, she just felt that he might be a threat, so she immediately changed from hostility to killing intent to be executed.
There are many people in this world who can be killed, but some people do not have to be killed.
"According to the lethality of the ordinary standard bow and arrow you are using now, if I am at the bottom of the mountain at the moment, if you assassinate me by falling into the moon, if I am a junior soul master's cultivation, my body should be pierced. An Keyi looked at Lin Xi and Bian Linghan, and then turned his head to look at Tong Wei and said: "They join forces like this, and Lin Xi, who is the second to shoot, adjusts according to Bian Linghan's shot, and the accuracy rate should be good, but the other party is alert, and quickly dodge, the farther the distance, the more difficult it is for Lin Xi to hit the opponent." ”
After a slight pause, An Keyi's brows furrowed slightly, and he said slowly: "I have just received news that the emperor will arrive at the Four Seasons Plains tomorrow. What do you think of them?"
Emperor Yunqin, the person who represents the highest power and majesty in this world, is coming tomorrow?
Lin Xi and Bian Linghan both took a deep breath, but they still couldn't calm the shock in their hearts. This is a day earlier than Tong Wei's prediction.
"It's a bit awkward. Tong Wei's face also suddenly became gloomy, because it might be a matter of real life and death, so he couldn't say the slightest lie in front of Lin Xi and Bian Linghan, he looked at An Keyi and replied coldly: "Although Lin Xi's progress is very fast... But the time is still too short, and with his current archery skills, if the height exceeds 300 steps, it will be difficult to accurately hit the opponent... As you just said, the other party will definitely not stand stupidly and wait to be shot by him, so he and Bian Linghan may only have one chance to make a move. However, if you shoot at a height of 300 steps, if the opponent's cultivation exceeds that of the middle-level soul master, this arrow will at least not be able to completely incapacitate the opponent's mobility. ”
An Keyi nodded: "The height of three hundred steps is indeed not high enough. ”
Lin Xi thought for a moment and asked sincerely, "If we shoot a middle-level soul master on this three-hundred-step high mountain, what will be the extent of the wounds left on his body?"
"Probably a little deeper than my wound. An Keyi held out his little finger and gestured. Lin Xi and Bian Linghan could see it clearly, and it was about the length of an extra fingernail. The deeper the wound is, for the cultivator, it is not in a fatal place, after all, it cannot completely form a heavy wound.
"How many steps does it take to shoot an arrow to penetrate the body of a middle-level soul master?" Lin Xi's eyes flickered slightly, and then he asked seriously.
Tong Wei glanced at Lin Xi and said, "At least five hundred and fifty steps." ”
"Five hundred and fifty steps?" Bian Linghan's face suddenly turned a little whiter. After practicing archery skills for these days, she naturally knows very well that the arrows shot by using the moon falling arrow technique are falling like throwing stones in the air, like meteorites outside the sky, with a height of 550 steps, and the actual flight distance in the air is far more than 550 steps.
Now Lin Xi shoots more accurately than her, but she can only shoot at a height of three hundred steps without a big deviation, and if she wants to shoot her opponent with a very accurate arrow, it is almost impossible.
"Since I have no other choice, I can only practice more. Looking at Tong Wei and An Keyi, who were obviously a little worried, Lin Xi calmed down and said this.
