When he said the last sentence, Taryn's voice suddenly became much louder, startling the somewhat drowsy Bruce, and he hurriedly made a well-behaved gesture and nodded.

The others were fine, but the fact that they couldn't drink made several teenagers bitter.

Although they are not very old, they have all become drunkards a long time ago.

If you are happy, you have to drink, if you are sad, you have to drink, if you win, you have to drink, and if you lose, of course, you still have to drink.

In short, find all kinds of reasons to drink a little bit every day.

The Philip brothers were very calm about this, and they said that they should not drink in front of them for at least half a month.

In addition to the group events, there are also individual competitions, which will be held a few days before the team competition, and try not to conflict with the schedule of the team competition.

Philip signed up for a riding competition, as it was the only event that did not prohibit the Awakened.

And Chuck will rightfully participate in archery competitions, Wesley will participate in shield competitions, and Bruce will participate in hand-to-hand combat competitions.

In order to conserve enough physical strength, everyone reserved only one sign-up.

After a few days of intensive training, Philip received a notice from the organizing committee that the riding competition would be held in the early morning of the day after tomorrow.

The riding competition is relatively simple, divided into two classes according to the mount ridden, the heavyweight beast dragon group and the lightweight unicorn group, each group has only two rounds.

The first round is the technical competition.

Riders need to complete the assessment of jumps, obstacles, climbs and other events in a six-square-kilometer arena according to the prescribed tracks and subjects.

At the same time, the rider also needs to complete a comprehensive cross-country riding assessment of archery, chopping, spear stabbing and other cumulative travel of 20 kilometers and more than 40 obstacle points on the horse.

Each obstacle point has a dedicated examiner who will decide whether and how many points to deduct based on the performance of the rider and mount.

The final time to complete the game, minus the points deducted, is the player's final score.

The top 10 winners will compete in the final round, also known as the Sprint.

Philip got up early in the morning, took Natalie's reins, and went to the number plate collection area outside the arena.

Many of the grassroots staff of this competition are teachers and senior students drawn from major comprehensive colleges.

The staff at the number plate collection office are two girls in their early 20s.

At this moment, they were cursing in their hearts the dean who assigned the task, a stern and rigid 10,000-year-old virgin.

There is no way, two delicate girls who grew up in the city, originally fantasized about meeting a little fresh meat and starting a romantic and beautiful love, but now they are smoked by all kinds of fishy animal flavors and are crumbling.

Just when they were in a very bad mood, they heard a magnetic greeting in their ears.

When the two girls looked up, their frowning brows suddenly relaxed, the corners of their mouths involuntarily curved, and the trace of irritability in their hearts had long since disappeared.

I saw a handsome blonde young man, dressed in decent cyan leather armor, outlining his sturdy figure.

Holding a pure white unicorn in his hand, he seems to be an angel coming out of a dream, with an extraordinary bearing.

Especially those blue eyes, which are as clear as a bay of lake water, make people want to immerse themselves in them.

The two girls packed up their makeup in a panic before revealing what they thought was the most charming smile and asked softly, "May I ask how I can help you?"

"I'm here to participate in the riding competition, my name is Philip, I'm from Gokan City, unicorn category, please check it out with two young ladies. It would be even better if you could give a number plate in the first order, it's too hot today. ”

Regarding the reaction of the two girls, Philip has not known how many times he has seen it over the years, and he has long been used to it.

According to Bruce's statement that iron does not make steel, Philip only knows that he hangs by Yun'er's side all the time, wasting his talent in vain.

"Okay, wait a minute. The chubby girl looked down at the contestant's information, and when she saw Philip's age, she sighed in her heart.

It's a pity that this little brother is a little too small to speak.

The girl with slightly larger eyes reacted more quickly, picked out a number plate early, and took the initiative to wear it on Philip's chest.

He also boldly touched his chest, felt the strength of his muscles, swallowed his saliva quietly, and then whispered: "There is a little fog in the forest in the morning, and it will be better to wait for the sun to come out." ”

Philip glanced at the number plate on his chest, No. 6, which was very forward, and the number was also auspicious, so he was taken advantage of, and he didn't say anything.

He smiled and nodded, and then walked to the stable, unoblivious to the snickering and grumbling coming from behind him.

Philip, who was grooming Natalie and arranging her saddle, did not notice that the process of receiving the number plate had already been seen by a pair of eyes, and he quickly changed to the number plate in the order 5 from the other players.

It was getting dark, and after the faint mist that had previously permeated the trees had completely dissipated, there was still one player left before Philip played.

It seems that the young lady is really a bit of a Taoist, and her estimate is very accurate.

The bow and arrows and weapons were all standard items provided by the organizing committee, and Philip checked them to confirm that there was no problem, so he hung them up neatly and waited at the starting point.

Every 10 minutes, a whistle sounds, announcing the departure of the runners.

Contestant 5 is a brown-haired teenager whose only striking feature is a horse's face and riding a gray-black unicorn.

Before leaving, he touched something in his arms and stole a glance back in Philip's direction, but unfortunately it was in line with his gaze.

Philip nodded at him in a friendly manner.

The brown-haired boy responded with a kind smile twice before turning his head and stepping onto his mount with a strange look on his face, disappearing into the depths of the track.

With the sound of a loud whistle, Philip shook the reins and let out a shout, and Natalie jumped out of the starting point and stepped onto the track like a white lightning bolt.

The first section of the course is about 1 kilometre straight, which is used to warm up the mounts and riders, and to familiarize themselves with the softness of the soil, which is hardly difficult.

The second section of the course is 10 continuous 5-meter-high dirt slopes, which are easy to complete with certain requirements for the rider's posture and mount adjustment ability.

The trail behind is varied, ranging from a dozen or more sharp turns of more than 90 degrees in a row, to a one-meter-deep wading section, and barricades made of yellow wooden stakes that need to be jumped over.

These are still relatively basic subjects, and Philip and Natalie, who are already very familiar with each other's bodies and habits, have completed these subjects with ease, which is not a challenge at all.

As the field changes from dirt to softer sand, the first stage is completed and the second stage is about to be tested.

The first test was spear stabbing, a very traditional horse sport.

On the shelves by the side of the road, there was a row of huge mounted guns.

In fact, they are a number of slightly sharpened wooden stakes, each of which is 4 meters long, arm thick, uniform and fine, and unusually heavy.

Philip did not slow down, but slid past the shelf with a slightly short body, and the thick riding spear appeared in his hand.

After two slight adjustments, he completed the action of the standard riding spear, the riding spear formed a stable angle with the right arm and armpit, and the riding spear was tilted horizontally upwards ten degrees, without moving at all.

This weight didn't bother him anymore, so the examiner on the side nodded approvingly and recorded it on a piece of paper.

The standard content of the assessment here requires the rider to accelerate to at least 50 kilometers or more, and with the impact of the mount, the riding gun in his hand is accurately stabbed into the circular target on the side of the road.

This was not difficult for Philip.

In fact, before the awakening, he was the record holder of the project in the academy.

He even worked as an assistant to a riding instructor, doing textbook-like demonstrations for first-year students, and gaining the adoring eyes of a group of bear children.

He could easily stab a jujube hanging from a tree on the side of the road at a speed of more than 80 kilometers per hour, not to mention a target the size of a fist in front of him.

With a snap, the wooden target was shattered by the sharp tip of the mounted spear, leaving a clear red mark on the fragment.

The round head of each mounted spear is covered with red paint, and only when it hits the target with this round head and leaves a clear red mark is considered an effective action.

And with the action of slamming, or touching other parts, even if the target is shattered, points will be deducted.

It seemed that it had been a long time since the examiner had seen such a standard movement, and nodded contentedly and recorded it on a piece of paper.

This is followed by an undulating section of the dunes, which requires the knight to shoot a target 100 meters away with a standard bow on his horse.

No points will be deducted for hitting the center of the circle on the target, one point will be deducted for each target position if the target is missed but not in the center of the circle, and five points will be deducted for each target position if the missed hand is not hit.

This requires the rider to maintain physical balance, be familiar with the rhythm of the mount's movement, and have a pair of accurate archery skills.

If you want to be more precise, reducing your speed or even stopping your mount for a while is the safest way to do this.

But after Philip's calculations, he still chose to pass at a uniform speed.

On the one hand, it is because he is confident in his archery skills, and on the other hand, time is more precious than deducting points.

Sure enough, except for the first target position, which was a little inaccurate because he was not familiar with the characteristics of the bow and arrow in his hand and was deducted one point, after a slight adjustment, the remaining 9 target positions all passed with full marks.

In the two links of chopping and crouching and picking, Philip passed with a perfect performance and won the praise of the examiners present.

The final stage was a bit demanding for the mounts and riders.

In Philip's view, they are all relatively out-of-the-way projects, and there is some suspicion of nitpicking.

In order to improve the difficulty of the assessment, the organizing committee can be regarded as doing everything.

For example, Philip is asked to cover Natalie's eyes and walk through a maze of bushes in full compliance with Philip's instructions, surrounded by noise.
