Volume 1 Qianqing School Chapter 22 In the Arrow Field
The place where Qi An finally stopped was about two thousand catties of oppressive force, and everyone looked at Qi An like they were looking at a little monster. They had always mistakenly thought that this junior disciple, who was thin and young, should not be good at strength, but they didn't expect him to go farther than everyone else on the magnetic meteor platform, closer to the center, and they couldn't help but secretly admire it, and they didn't have any contempt for Qi An.
Everyone sat silently, under pressure, occasionally joining in, and occasionally getting up and leaving.
Xiang Fang estimated that he was a little reluctant, and in less than half an hour, his face became quite ugly, and finally he had no choice but to get up, and stepped back a little bit outside, slightly ahead of Qu Han and Ji Zhengyue, so he persevered.
The longer this magnetic meteorite platform persists, the better the exercise effect, so no one will give up lightly, gritting their teeth and telling themselves that they must persist and persist until the sky is dark and the sunset is full, and the four of them have been sitting for five hours before they get up and return together.
The next morning, Qi An, who had a good night's sleep, woke up from the bed, and after washing up, he went to the courtyard to move his muscles and bones, and was pleasantly surprised to find that his strength had indeed increased slightly.
However, today's target is not the Magnetic Fall Plateau, but the Random Arrow Field, and as for the use time of the remaining five hours, there is no hurry to use it, and you can take the time to go again in two days.
After breakfast, Qi An followed the three senior brothers to the west, the direction of the Arrow Field was exactly the opposite of the Magnetic Meteorite Platform, and to the west of the Backing Mountain Branch, the area was nearly twice as large as the Magnetic Meteorite Platform.
It's just that there is only one Magnetic Fall Platform, and there are six Random Arrow Ranges, which can allow six people to train separately at the same time.
Although the magnetic meteorite platform occupies a small area, it is a disk, and the edge area is large enough that twenty or thirty people do not feel crowded when they go up together, and the vast majority of students can only stand on the edge;
The Ranch Archery is divided into two floors, the inner and the lower. The inner layer is a circular iron cage with large gaps and iron bars on top, while the outer layer is a ring of walls with round holes and built-in repeater launchers, which shoot blunt wooden arrows with iron at the front. There is a distance of nearly 10 zhang between the inner and outer floors, and when the arrow is fired, it will pass through the iron cage and hit the opposite wall when it is about to run out of strength, but it will not cause damage to the wall.
The training method of the Arrow Range is very simple, the trainee enters the iron cage empty-handed, and the crossbows around it will pass through the holes in the wall, and constantly shoot arrows to the iron cage, and the trainees can only be in the narrow space in the iron cage, relying on dexterity to avoid arrow attacks, and can not use their hands and feet to block, as long as they are touched by arrows, they are hit, and the fewer times they are hit, the better the results.
In addition, there are four training modes in the Random Arrow Range, namely Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced and Master, before entering, you need to inform the steward in advance, which level you want to enable, the higher the level you choose, the faster the crossbow machine fires, the denser the arrows, and the shorter the total duration.
Since it was the first time for the four of them, the steward in charge of guarding the Rancher Field had a detailed introduction, including explanations of the four modes.
The beginner mode only activates 30 repeaters with a long firing interval, the intermediate mode activates 60 repeaters with a moderate firing interval, the advanced mode has 90 repeaters firing at the same time with a short firing interval, and the advanced master mode activates all the repeater launchers for a total of 120 launchers with extremely short firing intervals, almost every few shots.
The higher the selection level, the shorter the corresponding duration, for example, the beginner mode will last for an hour, the intermediate mode will only have a pillar of incense, the advanced mode will last about half an hour, and the master mode will be the shortest, probably ending in less than forty breaths. Because once the master mode is activated, it is a real 10,000 arrows, overwhelming, and the stock of arrows in the crossbow machine will be rapidly consumed, and it will not last long.
When Qi An and the others came, it was more appropriate, and many of the six Random Arrow Fields were empty, so the four of them could start training at the same time and enter a Random Arrow Field.
Of course, all four of them chose the junior mode.
The iron cage in the middle of the field has no door, but because of the large gap, you can get into it by turning sideways.
This iron cage is not intended to keep people inside, but to add a limit to the trainee's range of movement, to ensure that he is within the attack range of the repeater, otherwise if someone runs far away and hides, the repeater will only fire at the small area in the center, which will not lose the training effect?
Qi An's body bones have not yet grown, and he can get into the cage without turning sideways, and after a few breaths, he heard a "whoosh" sound in the air on the left rear side, and a blunt-headed short arrow more than half a foot long flew out, and the speed was even faster than that of ordinary soldiers shooting with bows, almost equivalent to the rate of fire of a martial artist.
The most common soldier of the Daqian Dynasty was the samurai level, and the martial artist was already at the rank of commander of the army, and the arm strength of the samurai was greater than that of the samurai, and he could draw a stronger bow and shoot faster arrows.
The training object of the Random Arrow Venue is Wuzong, and the arrows shot by the martial artist can be easily dodged, so a single arrow cannot pose a threat, and to put pressure on Wuzong, the number of arrows must not be less.
Judging from the name "Random Arrow Field", there must be more than one or two arrows, and after a round of training, at least tens of thousands of arrows must be fired, so Qi An just sideways avoided the first arrow, and the second followed.
Then I heard the sound of "whooshing" incessantly, and the arrows flew one after another from all directions, barely giving people time to breathe.
Qi An tried his best to dodge, but there were thirty crossbow machines fired in turn, and it was not easy to dodge completely, not a single arrow hit.
However, Qi An has an advantage, that is, he is short, his body is small, and the target is not as big as an adult, and the Random Arrow Range is obviously designed according to the physique of an adult, and some arrows that should have been shot at the head do not need to be dodged at all, and fly directly overhead.
But the arrows are not only shot from one direction, but in all directions, the front of those that can be seen is good, the back can not be seen is a little unguardable, just by listening to the wind to identify the position is not enough, more often rely on feelings, such as the induction of air flow, the perception of danger, the prediction of the position, etc., very test the ability to react and speed dexterity.
However, the space in the iron cage is so large, and the arrows are continuously flying from everywhere, no matter how you dodge, it is inevitable that there will be a miss, after a training, Qi An was hit by fifteen arrows.
At least tens of thousands of arrows will be shot in a training session, and if you only hit fifteen arrows, the dodge rate is still quite high, less than one in a thousand. But Qi An was not very satisfied with this result, he felt that he should have been able to dodge several times, but he was only half a beat slower to react, or a little late, which led to the arrow.
The Arrowfield has five chances to use it every month, and Qi'an plans to use it up today. A training session takes an hour, after which you rest for a quarter of an hour, wait for the crossbow to reload the arrows, and then continue the training, and after five sessions, six hours have passed.
Qi An's best result was only five arrows, almost every time it was better than the last time, but the worst was the last time, which was actually two more arrows than the first time, reaching seventeen arrows, but that was because during the last training session, the sun went down, it was late, and the light gradually became dim, so it was understandable.
Due to the obstruction of the fence, people from the outside can't see the situation inside, and people inside can't see the outside, and only through communication after training can we know the approximate results of each person.
Judging from the results, the best result turned out to be Qu Han, who was hit by nine arrows at most at one time, and only hit two arrows at least once; followed by Qi An, probably because of his small goal and his own flexibility, so it was not bad; followed by Xiang Fang; and at the bottom was still the sad Ji Zhengyue.
However, the results of these four people are not much different, even the worst Ji Zhengyue is not much worse than Qi An, which makes Qi An realize that he still has a lot of room for improvement in terms of dexterity. Because through the conversation, he knew that the other three had mastered at least one body technique, and Qi An only relied on his knee-jerk reaction to dodge, even so, his grades were still at the upper middle level, only a step worse than Qu Han.
On the third day, according to the plan, after breakfast, the four of them came to the trial site located in the south of the Gushan Branch: Life and Death Alley.
Different from the Magnetic Meteorite Platform and the Random Arrow Range, the former is to train strength and endurance, the latter is to train reaction and agility, both of which are intensive training for basic abilities, while the Lane of Life and Death is a comprehensive actual combat test, and it is also the most important performance indicator of the Qianqing Academy.
There are no results to show on the Magnetic Meteor Platform and the Random Arrow Field, and God knows what the results are, but the Alley of Life and Death is not, so a leaderboard was directly set up and posted on the wooden sign at the entrance as a notice to remind the testers that they were still far from the best students in the branch.
As soon as Qi An and his party came to the Alley of Life and Death, they were first attracted by the score rankings and approached the onlookers.
