"Wow......"

Suddenly, the audience was in an uproar, and everyone was shocked by this sentence.

Arrogance, too arrogance.

Even people who don't know how to do kyudo and don't know archery are terrified when they hear the distance of 160 meters.

You know, even if it's the standard size of a football field, the length is only 120 meters.

160 meters, just listening to this distance, it may be very short, even if you walk, you can reach it in the blink of an eye.

But using a bow and arrow to shoot at a target 160 meters away is terrifying just by imagining.

"How did it become a 160-meter super long shot?"

At this moment, even Shinichi Sato couldn't help but sit in the review seat, and his heart was shocked.

According to the plan he thought of before, Brother Kurosawa only needs to participate in a 60-meter long-range shot on the day of the archery competition, and achieve 100% of the shots and 100% hit rate, which is enough to make him famous and shocking the world.

These days, Brother Kurosawa has come to the Wind Chasing Dojo every day, and he is also constantly honing this skill.

Unexpectedly, Brother Kurosawa suddenly changed his mind and challenged the 160-meter arrow target.

In fact, even the high-level players in the archery are not sure to hit every shot in the face of a 60-meter long shot or a target with a diameter of one meter, or even miss the target frequently.

As for 160 meters, for him it was already an almost impossible distance...... It's hard to shoot at such a distant target.

You know, even in the world-class championships of modern archery with compound bows, the farthest target requirement is only 90 meters.

Archery competitions at the Olympic Games, usually 70 meters and 72 arrows, are contested with a recurve bow.

160 m ...... This distance, looking at the history of any bow species, is a very terrifying height.

"Are you sure?"

Because this decision was too shocking, this female staff member couldn't help but feel shocked when she looked at the man in front of her.

Although Kurosawa's level is very high, the 60-meter long-range shot for him hit the bull's-eye, and even passed through the target, which is enough to prove that his strength is extraordinary.

But 160 meters, this distance feels unrealistic to think about, and he also said that 60 meters is too close...... If this is not a successful challenge, it will make people laugh at him, thinking that he is arrogant and has a low eye.

"I'm sure, I'd like to try the history of the 100-step poplar."

Hikaru Kurosawa bowed slightly, holding a bow in his hand, and was confident.

The 100 steps mentioned by the ancients are actually different from the algorithm of modern people, which is to take one step with both left and right feet.

Maybe he hadn't practiced anything before that, but the two arrows just now flew far through the bull's-eye, giving him a general understanding of his archery.

Perfect-level skills mean the strongest in history, even if there is a slight difference in physique.

But Yoyuki, the number one marksman in history, can do it in a hundred steps, and he should be able to do it too.

Listening to his words, the audience was in an uproar, is he going to challenge history?

The 100 steps through the poplar in history only exist in rumors and records, and no one has ever seen it with their own eyes.

If he can really do it, it will be too rebellious.

"Go and help him adjust the target."

Shinichi Sato looked at Hikaru Kurosawa's face and saw that he didn't look like he was joking, so he finally couldn't help it, pulled the microphone on the table and ordered.

With his order, a staff member immediately reacted and hurried into action.

In fact, because of the scheduled archery tournament and the long-range shooting, the Kyudo Federation drew a mark on the floor of the Budokan in advance, that is, a distance of 28 meters and 60 meters.

160 meters, this is an unprecedented distance, and you have to use a ruler to measure the new distance.

It didn't take long for two staff members in suits to walk up to the field, holding a tape measure and re-measuring the distance from the line in front of the shooting point.

It will take some time to rearrange the target.

"Can I ask you a few questions before challenging the 160 meters?"

This female staff member looked left and right, anyway, it didn't start so soon, so she simply wanted to find some show effect for the midfield.

"Of course." Hikaru Kurosawa stood with his bow in his hand and nodded.

"How many years have you been practicing kyudo?"

"Count it, it's been 10 years on and off, and when I used to be in my hometown, I would occasionally practice archery."

Hikaru Kurosawa has not forgotten his own setting, although it is said that people may have clues when they look it up, but who can say clearly what happened so many years ago.

"It's been 10 years on and off, and I can understand that you haven't been sticking to the kyudo all the time?"

"I had no intention of developing in kyudo, but not long ago, I saw the publicity of the Todai Kyudo Society, and I thought that I had practiced it before, so I tried to experience it. After my experience, Uesugi sensei thought that I was very good at archery, so he strongly invited me to join the company and recommended that I definitely take the path of professional archery. ”

Hearing this, Masaki Uesugi, who was standing on the side of the preparation seat, was shocked, and he didn't expect him to mention himself.

"Uesugi sensei, do you mean your coach, the coach of the Todai Kyudo Club, Masaki Usesugi and Uesugi 6 dan? It seems that he took the guarantee of professional personality to sign up for the long shot by virtue of his status as a beginner with no rank and no rank. ”

Because it is the organizer's person, the staff is very clear about the information of the contestants.

"Yes, Mr. Uesugi is very enthusiastic about me and has high expectations for my talent, and I am grateful for his recognition. Because I used to touch the bow once in a while, and I didn't have a professional study and practice, and my kyudo foundation was very poor, Uesugi Sensei introduced me to Sato Kudan, and begged Sato Kudan to teach me archery. ”

Hikaru Kurosawa nodded slightly, affirming the matter and guiding the topic.

As soon as these words came out, Shinichi Sato, who was standing behind the judges' seat, tensed up.

He never expected that Brother Kurosawa was so sincere, and before he became famous in the first battle, he mentioned himself first.

"That means, are you a student of Sato Kudan?"

Hearing such a statement, this female staff member was also a little surprised.

"That's right, Sato Kudan taught me very carefully, and I learned what true kyudo is from scratch. He also gave me this black bow, which I named Black Wind. ”

In response to this question, Hikaru Kurosawa glanced at the Shinichi brother on the jury seat and smiled lightly.

His relationship with Shinichi Sato can be described as a teacher and friend.

There are a lot of things that are important about kyudo, not just bending the bow and shooting arrows, but there are a lot of things that go into it, and if you don't have someone to guide you, even if you can watch other people's movements and imitate them, but if you don't understand the meaning, it's just a vain shape.

"Did this Japanese bow actually be given to you by Sato Kudan? And there are names...... Does the name Black Wind have any meaning? ”

The staff is a little strange, to know that archery is rarely named for bows, and is usually named for finger protection.

Because the archer's finger guard may last a lifetime, but the bow may be broken.

"In order to thank the Wind Chasing Dojo and the founder of the Wind Chasing Flow, Sato Kudan, for his teaching and love to me."

"I didn't expect there to be such a story...... Have you ever tried a long-range shot at a distance of 160 meters before? ”

"I haven't tried it yet, but I think I can do it."

Hikaru Kurosawa shook his head, he was also improvised.

"160 meters, it's impossible to succeed."

"I just said so many things, if this fails, I'm afraid it will make the audience laugh."

Seeing this scene, the players who participated in the individual competition today all sneered in their hearts.

As shooters, they are well aware of what an exaggerated distance 160 meters is.

Most shooters, even at a distance of 28 meters, can't hit everything, and missing the target is a common thing.

60 meters is a difficult distance, the dividing line between amateur shooters and professional shooters, and it is a distance that most shooters dare not challenge.

160 meters, such an outrageous distance, how can this be shot.

Even if you Kurosawa Hikaru is very powerful, shooting 60 meters away, both arrows are bullseye, and the archery is like a god, but challenging 160 meters is too arrogant.

"It seems that Kurosawa is full of confidence in his own strength, and it seems that we can wait and see."

Realizing that he was also trying for the first time, the staff did not take it lightly and made a summary of the interview.

At the same time, she also saw that the two staff members who arranged the 160-meter arrow target were gesturing to this side.

"The 160-meter target is ready, and now I'm going to ask Kurosawa to challenge his limits."

Seeing this scene, the staff smiled slightly and said loudly.

As a professional host and commentator, she is very experienced in hot scenes.

With that, she stepped back and got out of the way.

"It's far away, can this really be shot?"

At the same time, the audience was shocked to see that the target had been set.

They looked at the target, and then at Hikaru Kurosawa, and the distance between the two was exaggerated.

It would take a while to run such a long distance.

The 60-meter target alone was far away from them before...... This is directly on the basis of 60 meters, plus a distance of 100 meters, the difference in difficulty is huge, just like a high school student who plays football, just won the national high school championship, and runs directly to play in the World Cup final.

"Come on, I believe in you."

At this moment, Masaki Uesugi came over and brought arrows to Hikaru Kurosawa, his heart was nervous, but his eyes were full of emotion and trust.

When Kurosawa was interviewed just now, he specifically mentioned him, and this feeling of being valued and grateful, as long as you are a human being, it is difficult not to be moved.

In the case of individual competitions, the coach must be present and carry spare arrows and strings.

"Thank you, teacher."

Taking the spare arrow, Hikaru Kurosawa thanked him for his encouragement, and instead of starting directly, he looked up at the arrow target in the distance.

160 meters, this time the target is no longer close at hand, but has a considerable distance.

"That's not a bad distance."

It's just that Hikaru Kurosawa looked at the distance, and as he stared, his pupils fluttered, and in the end, he was relieved.

His eyes, with the blessing of perfect-level archery skills, have become very outrageous, and that vision is simply godlike.

The method that Brother Shinichi came up with for him before, with a hundred consecutive shots, a hundred shots, and a battle to become famous and shocking the world, is certainly a good way.

However, this method would take too long, and he had a vague feeling that this alone would not be enough to show the power of a perfect-level archery technique.

You know, the distance of 60 meters is like shooting in the face for him, it's too simple.
