Three days later.

Ji Xinghuo wore the power shoes given to him by Zhong Ming and slid quickly on the park trail.

The pulley set installed on the sole is driven by a micro motor, which can reach a maximum speed of 50 kilometers per hour, and there is an intelligent control system inside the sole, which can not only maintain the balance of the body at all times, but also can keenly perceive the strength of the wearer, and assist in controlling the speed and direction.

Walk when you want, stop when you want; The operation is simple and the action is silky.

Power shoes are the best choice for short distances!

In less than three minutes, Ji Xinghuo came to the Qishan Wutong Archery Hall.

Today's archery hall is particularly lively, not only because of the weekend, but also because of the "Leaf Shooting Cup" competition that will be held today.

Most of the people around were carrying bows and bags, and they gathered in twos and threes to chat.

Like Ji Xinghuo, they are all contestants.

"A sea of clouds."

Ji Xinghuo was stunned, and the pulley set retracted into the sole of the shoe and turned into a pair of normal sneakers.

When he walked into the archery hall, he saw Lu Yunhai in the crowd, wearing clothes with the referee's logo today, which was very eye-catching.

Many students surrounded Lu Yunhai and asked him about the competition.

Lu Yunhai heard someone calling him, turned his head and saw that it was Ji Xinghuo, walked over and asked, "How are you preparing?" ”

Ji Xinghuo nodded and gave him a confident smile.

In the past few days, he has deliberately increased his archery practice, especially for moving targets and random targets above 50 meters, and has a greater grasp.

"You know the schedule, right?" Lu Yunhai confirmed it.

"Of course."

Ji Xinghuo received the competition process of the "Leaf Shooting Cup" on the day of registration, and went home and read it carefully twice.

The competition is divided into ten rounds, and the difficulty increases with the rounds.

The first three rounds are group rounds, which are scattered among the seven archery halls that co-host the competition, and the top 300 with the best results are determined from nearly 3,000 participants in one morning, and enter the knockout rounds from the fourth to the sixth round.

In the afternoon knockout round, the players will gather at an archery venue on the outskirts of Chang'an and use three rounds of competition to determine the top 32.

From the seventh round to the ninth round, half of the people are eliminated in each round.

Finally, the remaining four players advance to the tenth round and compete for the ultimate championship!

The whole race is only one day, which is very tight.

Lu Yunhai said a few words and walked away, as one of the referees, he had a heavy task today.

Ji Xinghuo found a corner in the archery hall and sat down, took out the compound bow and calibrated it again. The main purpose of the Leaf Shooting Cup is to focus on actual combat, you can use sights, but you can't install a balance bar, and each shot must be completed within a time limit, and the overtime result is invalid.

He observed that more than 80% of the other players around him were using compound bows like himself, but most of them were shooting shots in compound bows rather than hunting bows.

After all, it is a competition, there is no requirement for lethality, and it is more advantageous to shoot the bow.

The remaining 20% of the players have both traditional bows and light bows, and there are dozens of bows of various models and shapes, and there are many out-of-the-way bows that are difficult to identify.

Traditional bows and light bows test the level of archery even more, and those who dare to compete with these two bows will not be bad.

Several of the most sought-after contestants used traditional bows.

They are surrounded by fans and have been signing autographs.

However, Ji Xinghuo has only been learning archery for two or three weeks, and he doesn't know anyone in this circle except Lu Yunhai, and no one else knows him.

"The game is ready to begin."

The radio of the archery hall sounded, and a female voice said, "Please go to the corresponding venue according to your own group." ”

There are more than 400 participants in the Qishan Wutong Archery Hall, divided into five groups, and each group is assigned an archery range.

Ji Xinghuo came to the fifth layer, and seventy or eighty players in the same group arrived one after another.

Several referees are maintaining order.

"Now for the first round of shooting." One of the referees shouted, "Call the players with their names and numbers to come forward, four at a time, and stand in the designated shooting area." Please refrain from making noises so as not to disturb the players on the field. ”

The venue quickly fell silent.

The referee named the four contestants, who stood in a row, fifty meters in front of them were the targets to be shot in the first round, each with a timer on their side.

"One minute to prepare."

Players have to be ready to shoot within a minute, and when the time is up, they must shoot the first arrow within three seconds; Then another ten seconds of preparation, shooting a second arrow; Each interval is ten seconds, and after that, you have to shoot in three seconds until you have shot ten arrows.

The minute was fast up, and with the beep of the buzzer, the three-second countdown began.

Bang Bang Bang ......

The bowstrings vibrated in unison, and the four players shot the first arrow almost simultaneously.

Three minutes later, the group had completed the 10-arrow shot.

Ji Xinghuo looked at the target opposite, the difficulty of the first round was the lowest, but it may be that he was too nervous to play first, only one of the four players scored a perfect score of ten rings, and the results of the other three were between 90 and 97 rings.

Judging by their annoyed expressions, it was clear that they had gone out of sorts.

The referee counts the number of rings and records the results.

"The second group of players played."

One group after another of the players completed the ten arrows shooting, and Ji Xinghuo found that most of the players scored around 95 rings, and there were very few players who could hit 100 rings.

Almost all of these high-level players are Inhumans, either Ranger or Stalkers like themselves.

Half an hour later.

Ji Xinghuo heard his name and played with three other players.

The eyes of the contestants present were all focused, but what they watched was the female player next to Ji Xinghuo, who seemed to be quite famous and known to many people.

"One minute to prepare."

Ji Xinghuo's mind was calm, and he took out an arrow and put it on the "Yifeng", waiting for the preparation time to end.

Backbite!

As soon as the buzzer sounded, he quickly shot the first arrow, snap!

Ten rings.

In the corner of his vision, he saw the target next to him, which was also the Ten Rings, and he completed the shooting almost synchronously with himself.

Ji Xinghuo noticed the person next to him at this time, but he was not distracted, and after ten seconds, he shot the second arrow.

Ten rings.

Ten rings.

Ten Rings......

Ji Xinghuo's hands are fast and steady, like a set mechanical hand, and every archery action is completely consistent, without a trace of deviation.

After ten arrows, he scored 100 rings.

When the referee confirmed the number of rings, there was a burst of admiration from the sidelines, three of the four players in this group actually played a full ring, and the rest of the people were not bad, with a score of 99 rings.

Ji Xinghuo and the other two full-ring players looked at each other, nodded and left the game.

It took an hour for all the contestants to complete the first round of shooting.

This was followed by the second round.

This round is a 70-meter fixed target, the difficulty has increased a lot, and the results of the players have declined to varying degrees compared with the previous round, with an average of about 80 rings.

Of course, the Inhumans with excellent archery skills still maintain a high standard.

Ji Xinghuo's second round score is still 100 rings.

In the third round, the distance of the target was extended to 100 meters, and the difficulty was greatly increased, and many players missed the target, and most of them only got a score of less than 50 rings.

Ji Xinghuo still played a full ring!

After three rounds of shooting, there are only a handful of players who can still get 100 rings, and they are basically inhuman, and Ji Xinghuo has also received some attention.

"Get to know each other."

The female player in the same group came over and took the initiative to introduce herself: "My name is Fang Yinping, a native of Chang'an, an intermediate ranger." ”

She is about thirty years old, with a handsome face, about one meter six and five tall, a well-proportioned figure wearing a white archer suit, and a light bow behind her back, highlighting her capable temperament, and her body is full of a sense of vigor and flexibility.

Ji Xinghuo shook hands with her and let go, nodded and said, "Ji Xinghuo, junior ranger." ”

"Mr. Ji is very young!"

Fang Yinping had already looked at him a few times, laughed, and asked, "How come I haven't heard of such a high level of arrow shooting before?" ”

She already regards Ji Xinghuo as a strong opponent in this competition.

Ji Xinghuo replied truthfully: "I just learned archery, and it was the first time I came to participate in the competition. ”

Fang Yinping was stunned, a hint of displeasure flashed on his face, obviously not believing it, thinking that Ji Xinghuo was fooling himself with nonsense.

"Then I wish Mr. Ji a good ranking." Dropping these words, Fang Yinping turned around and left.

Ji Xinghuo looked at her back and shook his head helplessly.

I'm telling the truth......

After the first three rounds, the players knew whether they would advance or not.

Most of them came to join in the fun, to meet high-level shooters, and they didn't want to advance to the knockout round, so they left the archery gym after three rounds.

Ji Xinghuo waited at the door for half an hour, Lu Yunhai finally came out, and the two of them went to lunch together.

Lu Yunhai asked, "How are the results?" ”

Ji Xinghuo picked up his new mobile phone, which had just been used for a few days, and the screen lit up towards him, showing the results of the competition and the notification of advancing to the knockout round.

"I knew you were fine!"

Afternoon.

After Ji Xinghuo went home and rested for an hour, he set off for Zhongnan Mountain in the southern suburbs of Chang'an, and arrived at an outdoor archery range built in a valley.

The venue is huge, and a tall screen has been erected at the entrance of the meeting point, showing a promotional video of the "Leaf Shooting Cup". A rostrum is set up at the bottom of the screen, and each firing position in the venue is equipped with a floating camera, which is broadcast live in real time, which looks very formal.

Three hundred players who have advanced to the knockout round have arrived.

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

Seven archery hall directors took to the podium, five of whom were Inhumans.

Ji Xinghuo noticed Yang Tianqing, the curator of the Qishan Wutong Archery Hall, at a glance, and Lu Yunhai often mentioned him to himself. Yang Tianqing is a super alien, and his career template is also a ranger, his archery skills are extremely clever, and his strength is strong, which can only be seen by signing up for his course.

Yang Tianqing is medium-sized, neither tall nor short, with empty hands, but anyone can see that he is not an ordinary middle-aged person.

His gaze was as sharp as a blade.

Many players in the audience knew Yang Tianqing and looked at him curiously, but they didn't dare to make eye contact with him.

Ji Xinghuo looked at it twice and turned his head.

"Good afternoon, shooters!" Yang Tianqing stood on the stage and said a few words on behalf of the seven archery halls, encouraging the contestants to show their strength and strive for rankings. The rewards of this competition are very rich, the top eight have bonuses, and the champion can get 200,000!

This is a bit more than in previous editions, and the players are not surprised, many of them are just coming for the prize money.

"Let's get started."

Yang Tianqing didn't talk much nonsense, and immediately announced the fourth round of shooting, and the contestants entered the venue according to the new draw group.
