Chapter Seventy-Two: Shooting in Concentration
Tianlu Academy participated in this competition, Lu Zecheng has already registered in advance, and the schedule of the competition has also come out.
In order to prevent cheating, all participants can not submit their names until the hour before the official competition, and the teams and venues allocated are determined by drawing lots.
There are still two days before the competition time, although there is nothing to prepare for in the early stage, but Nie Lin has to temporarily top the first shooting competition, which must be done in advance.
Collapse!
At this moment, a violent sound of bowstrings sounded in the courtyard of the Lufu Mansion, with a trembling sound of the air being torn, and a sharp arrow shot like a meteor, and quickly hit the red heart of the arrow target two hundred steps away.
Boom!
Next, there were two more string movements, this time in one go, and the two arrows also hit the bull's-eye with the same rapid accuracy, and the accuracy of the head hit was extremely high.
Seeing that Nie Lin was focused and highly concentrated, after shooting the fourth and fifth arrows in a row, and the arrows could hit the red heart, after the five arrows were shot, he exhaled, put the iron tire bow in his hand on the side of the shelf, and replaced it with a stronger rhino horn bow.
Smack!
At this time, Lu Xueyan and Yang Yuxiao, who were in a calm daze on the side, came back to their senses, and Lu Xuecong next to him couldn't help clapping his little hands and said excitedly: "Brother Linzi is really amazing!"
Even after Lu Zecheng saw Nie Lin's performance that surprised all of them, he couldn't help but come back from his surprise, especially when he saw that he picked up the rhino horn bow again, he still couldn't help but ask, and said, "Linzi, this rhino horn bow has a strength of nearly three hundred quintals, even if an adult pulls it apart, it is very difficult for an adult to pull it apart, you ......"
Click~!
However, before Lu Zecheng's words fell, he couldn't help but gasp, his eyes widened, and he saw Nie Lin striding and bending over, his body sinking, and he had already pulled the bowstring, making a sound of moving strings.
I saw that Nie Lin's eyes were as sharp and focused as eagle eyes at this time, just like a hunter locking on his prey in a dangerous forest, locking on to the red heart of the arrow target in front of him, and he didn't know how strong the bow was, whether he could withstand that kind of strength.
Shout~!
Immediately, after locking the red heart, Nie Lin held his breath, and the lightning was released, and he saw that the arrow on the string was like a meteor that pierced the sky, with an endless momentum, shooting towards the arrow target red heart in the distance.
Then he took an arrow from the quiver, drew the bow, the square arrow, and the whole set of movements went down, and the clouds flowed smoothly.
However, Lu Xueyan was careful, and she keenly noticed that when Nie Lin was pulling the bow and releasing the arrow, his gesture was very special, giving her the feeling that the hand was not grasping an arrow, but a sword, and he was practicing a very special sword technique in a unique way, at the moment when he pulled the bow and shot the arrow.
Seeing this, Lu Xueyan's eyes were full of brilliance, and she was even more curious, she no longer paid attention to whether the arrow hit the target, and her eyes never left Nie Lin.
It's just that the more she observes, the more she finds that the mystery on his body is heavier and heavier, deeper and deeper, and more and more hazy, and she still can't understand it.
Nie Lin naturally didn't know Lu Xueyan's thoughts, after he shot five arrows, he didn't see if it hit, and after putting the bow on the shelf, he breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Others seem to have an easy way to pull such a strong rhino horn bow, but it actually takes a lot of physical strength and essence, and he also uses the muscles and bones of his body to help him achieve such an effect.
Ever since he entered the fifth level of cultivation of the Imperial True Decision, he has attached great importance to the cultivation of flesh and blood, and the cultivation method in the fifth level of the Imperial True Determination has attached great importance to the cultivation of the 'Numerology Essence' and the 'Qi Essence Essence'.
That is to say, if he wants to extend the sword qi to a higher level, this not only requires the sword qi he condenses to be more pure and sharp, and the extension surname is strong, but also the requirements for the strength of the meridians are also higher, which must have a very strong physique to support, otherwise the sword qi will expand hugely, but if the strength of the body and meridians cannot keep up, it may cause the sword qi to backlash.
And now Nie Lin has always insisted on groping and cultivating the sword qi shock he comprehended when he was in the Sword Beast Forest, although the progress is relatively slow, but he first continuously strengthens the strength of the meridians by the way of essence qi shock, while exercising his physique, and then slowly strengthens the frequency of sword qi shock, to gradually adapt to the process, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone, which is in line with the meaning of the fifth surname of the Imperial True Decision.
Although the process was slow, it was more conducive to the condensation of Nie Lin's sword qi, thus laying a solid foundation for the terrifying effect that would occur when performing sword skills in the future.
Of course, Lu Xueyan carefully observed Nie Lin's special gesture, which was actually Nie Lin's attempt to practice the powerful sword skill foundation of 'Shooting Fight to One' in the "Heavenly Tablet Sword Diagram" in the process of concentrating on archery.
However, Lu Xueyan didn't realize that while Nie Lin was trying to practice this sword technique, he also conducted a drill at the same time as the 'Green Dragon Detective' in "Ascending Dragon Due", thus forming a perfect combination of the Ascending Dragon Dueling and the sword technique in the Heavenly Tablet Sword Diagram, which is a very ideal and effective cultivation method for masters with rich cultivation experience, Nie Lin has cultivation experience in his previous life, which can naturally be done.
After wiping the sweat, a little maid next to him brought water, and after Nie Lin drank it, he saw that the two swordsmen carried the arrow target over at this time.
When everyone saw the fifteen arrows that had been hit in a row on the red heart on the arrow target, they couldn't help but take a breath again.
Yang Yuxiao finally couldn't help but cheer again and again, and shouted: "Brother Nie, such exquisite skills, if you add a little elegant physical performance components, in the competition the day after tomorrow, you can definitely get a high score, then this shooting is combined with other items, the total score can surpass the past, Tianlu Academy advanced to the top 24 and finally participated in the kendo competition, there is definitely seventy percent certainty!"
Nie Lin couldn't put down the water cup, the little maid next to him was very well-behaved, smiled sweetly at him and took it and poured it and stood aside to wait, and Nie Lin didn't mean to drink any more water, after hearing Yang Yuxiao's words, he said: "My set of skills are all used by hunters when hunting, and the content of artistic expression is indeed very low, but if you want to have a perfect performance in the archery etiquette, why don't you have any good opinions about Brother Yang?"
Lu Xueyan next to him pondered for a moment, and suddenly answered: "These miscellaneous competitions are all auxiliary, although in the end it is still mainly a kendo competition, but these are to be incorporated into the general evaluation after the game to determine the comprehensive results, and we can't ignore it, I think, if the preliminary round of the group can be successfully promoted, it is best to get the full three points in this shooting event, so that after the kendo competition ends, if kendo can get seven points, then with the points of these auxiliary items, we will have some advantages in the summary results!"
Nie Lin had never participated in this kind of competition, and he still didn't know the rules of the competition, so he said, "You mean, there will be ten points for the full score of the kendo competition, while there are only three points for other competitions?"
Lu Xueyan shook his head and said, " This national competition is different from when we were in Xiazhou, this competition is based on kendo, the other five categories are auxiliary subjects, the total score of the five types of auxiliary subjects is a total of twenty-five points, and only the kendo competition has seventy-five points, and there is no upper limit, that is to say, in the group stage, the other items are one point, kendo can get five points if you win a group of leaders, and then after the promotion round, each place wins ten points, until the finals, the more the better, but sometimes there may be some cumulative points equal, so this is to add the scores of other auxiliary items, and then summarize to determine the overall ranking!”
Nie Lin understood this time, and pondered: "Since this is the case, then I must get a full score of five points in this shooting event, even if it is an auxiliary event, I must lead with an absolute advantage!"
Yang Yuxiao said: "It depends on who the opponent of the game is, if you are unlucky and the two strong players are in a group, then this point, it is estimated that it will be difficult to get, the senior sister said three points, this is the best idea, if it is a full score, it is a bit difficult, because sometimes there may be some unexpected situations!"
Lu Xueyan said: "In this case, Nie Lin, your skills are already very exquisite, then in this time and a half, my junior brother and I will design a few sets of plans for you, as long as you practice a little, as for the rest of the time, just prepare for the kendo competition, the biggest reliance of Tianlu Academy this time is you!"
"It's okay!" Nie Lin nodded, and did not practice archery again, and after saying goodbye to everyone, he returned to the house to continue to practice the Imperial True Decision, but he did not practice swordsmanship.
...... Two days later in the morning.
The weather was a little gloomy, and it was relatively cold outside, so Nie Lin got up before dawn and practiced the 'Ascending Dragon Duel' in the courtyard for a while.
This 'Ascending Dragon Decision' is Nie Lin's compulsory homework every morning, and during this period of time, through the assistance of the fifth 'Numerology Essence' of the basic exercise in the Heavenly Tablet Sword Diagram, Nie Lin's physique will undergo a transformation every time he goes through a period of time, which is also the main reason why he was able to easily pull away the three hundred quintals of the rhino horn bow.
In the past two days, Lu Xueyan has designed several sets of plans for him, and after Nie Lin has practiced, he is fully confident that he will get a full score in the shooting in the first auxiliary subject competition.
After practicing for about half an hour, a servant from the house came to the courtyard and informed Nie Lin to go to the front yard, and today the sword boy competition opened, Nie Lin knew that he was going to leave for the venue, so he went back to the house to wash up, and after changing his clothes, he followed the servant to the front yard.
Because of this opening ceremony, only Lu Xueyan and Yang Yuxiao and the three of them participated, and it was not so cumbersome, because Lu Zecheng was also going to be there today, but he was not accompanying Nie Lin and them, but accompanying the emperor, so Nie Lin and Lu Xueyan also planned to travel in simple clothes, but they just brought a few attendants arranged by Lu Zecheng in the mansion and went out.
The carriage was ready, but when Nie Lin was about to get into the carriage, he suddenly had some strange feelings in his heart, so he turned his face and saw a mysterious man wearing a hat at the corner of the street not far away, where he stayed for a while, and then disappeared into the alley.
After Nie Lin saw this scene, he got into the carriage with a wave of doubt in his heart. Who is this mysterious hat man, and is it a coincidence that he met here again?
