Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.

The news that Cheng Kun's practice of arrows did not go well quickly reached the ears of Tian Huayu, Luo Rongjun and others, and these people laughed secretly in their hearts after knowing it.

However, they didn't pay too much attention to it, just listen to this little thing, and they were all hurrying up to cultivate. There are many differences between the military camp competition and the competition in the rivers and lakes, the main competition is the battlefield killing skills taught in the military camp, and those with high martial arts have a better chance of winning, but it cannot be said that others have no chance at all.

Cheng Kun also knew that his "unpredictable" archery skills were very unreliable, but this made him firm in his beliefs, didn't Taizu say that the future is bright and the road is tortuous.

Cheng Kun comforted himself like this, and instead of stopping, the practice of archery became more frequent. It's just that he has a reputation, and when he practiced, there was no one around him, and there were originally people who watched the excitement, but now they were all scared away......

After five days of practice, Cheng Kun was able to shoot seven arrows to the target within ten arrows, although it was only the last twenty steps. The targets in the barracks are made of hardwood, and several concentric circles are drawn with red brushes. Although Cheng Kun couldn't shoot the smallest center of the circle, every arrow broke through the target, and it was useless to wear any armor with such a force on a person.

And don't forget, the arrows that Cheng Kun is using now have no arrows!

If there are no arrowheads, what happens if you use armor-piercing arrows made of fine iron?

It's a pity that no one has seen such a scene, and Cheng Kun completely ignored these, just tirelessly shot an arrow, and then another arrow...... It's like a machine, cold and stable.

After Cheng Kun shot another arrow, he no longer looked to see if he had hit the target, he focused all his attention on his own movements. With an arrow, the bow is bent like a full moon, and the bowstring made of ox tendons makes a "click" and "click" sound, as if it can't withstand the force imposed on itself, and moans in pain, and then the eyes, thumb and the end of the arrow form an invisible straight line, and after aiming, an arrow is shot.

Because no one taught him how to aim, he had to explore it on his own, referring to his previous experience in practicing shooting with a gun, and came up with the "three points and one line" method. He didn't know how others did it, but he felt good about it anyway.

Ten days later, the Iron Bull instructor gathered everyone again, this time teaching knife skills, the same as marksmanship, only one style of "splitting", and strive to be practical. When he was done, he left, and he didn't know where he went.

Cheng Kun didn't care, his mind was now on the mountain bow, and now he could basically achieve twenty steps to target every arrow must hit, and the landing point of the arrow was constantly approaching the bull's-eye. He felt that although he was making slow progress, he was generally on the right path.

Fang Han accidentally saw Cheng Kun's achievements, and was also a little surprised by Cheng Kun's progress, but this level was far from being used in actual combat.

He reminded Cheng Kun with a little kindness: "Brother Cheng's archery has made a lot of progress, which is gratifying." But with all due respect, Brother Cheng should put more thought on knives and guns, otherwise it will be difficult for Brother Cheng to beat me in twenty days. ”

Cheng Kun laughed and felt his kindness, although this guy has a collecting habit, but he is not bad. He also replied: "Thank you Brother Fang for your kindness, I know what to do." ”

Fang Han saw that Cheng Kun didn't accept his kindness, thinking that he was being laughed at, and now he blindly held on, but he just couldn't pull his face. Therefore, regardless of the priorities of things, I have to be in a hurry to practice archery. I only felt that Cheng Kun's move was very unwise, just like a child's anger, and his evaluation of Cheng Kun was lower.

On this day, Deng Xiaoxian and the others were surprised to find that Cheng Kun did not go to the school field to practice archery after eating as usual, and they all thought that they had finally come to their senses at this moment. In their eyes, Cheng Kun has been practicing archery in the past few days, but his archery skills are really scary, and he can't see any use. It's just that Cheng Kun is quite majestic in their hearts, so no one stepped forward to dissuade them.

But they soon found out that Cheng Kun didn't practice archery today, but instead practiced standing. I saw him standing in front of the barracks, standing in a horse step, bending his elbows, and resting on his chest, standing for an hour, letting the sun shine on his face, but not a single sweat appeared.

They couldn't see any mysteries, they just guessed what exercises Cheng Kun should be practicing, so they didn't dare to bother, and they all took their knives and guns to practice the two tricks taught by Tie Niu.

The reason why Cheng Kun didn't practice archery today was not because he gave up, but because he felt that he was about to break through again. However, it is not his true qi that needs to be broken through, but Bajiquan. He successfully broke through from bright energy to dark energy a year ago, and then spent a year to make his dark energy reach both hands and feet. No matter what kind of boxing technique is practiced, after reaching the level of dark energy, the limbs are the easiest to practice.

The simple reason is that people use their hands and feet most of the day, so they are more familiar and easier to control.

After practicing in these two places, his physique has improved again, the strength of his fists and feet has also broken through thousands of catties, the opening and closing of pores are controlled freely, and the original calluses have slowly faded. And now, he feels that his dark energy is about to be practiced on his back, probably because of his daily archery, unconsciously using the spine dragon to exert force, pulling the back muscles.

He now felt as if he had a thin hard shell on his back, and he was a little uncomfortable, so he stood on the infinite pile, wanting to blow up.

He seems to be motionless on the surface, but in fact, he is using his mind to control the bones of his spine to sink one by one, and the countless tiny muscles and flesh under his skin are beating with it, which is the unique sinking energy of Bajiquan.

Cheng Kun only felt that there was a stream of heat gathering on his back under his skin, which was the heat generated by muscle movements, and it was also the "qi" mentioned by countless national martial arts masters in their boxing books. Because ordinary people don't know how to exercise, they can only let it slowly dissipate, but the master of Guoshu can retain this heat and nourish the body by closing the pores.

Gradually, this heat gathered more and more on my back, and at this moment I began to feel a little sour in my back, and the feeling of a hard shell became more obvious. There is something strange about this feeling, as if the caterpillar is accumulating strength in the cocoon before it becomes a butterfly, waiting for the moment when it breaks out of the cocoon.

Suddenly, Cheng Kun moved his body and slowly played a set of routines in Bajiquan - King Kong Eight Styles.

Bracing hammer (collapse bow and arrow urgency), descending dragon (Wuyue Chaotian cone), Fuhu (Liuhe fluttering ground brocade), splitting mountain palm (splitting mountain axe plus steel), exploring the horse palm (mountaineering and exploring the horse), tiger hug (circle to block the tiger hug urgent), bear squat (bear squatting hard to squeeze), crane step push (crane step push mountain stability). After punching all the way, Cheng Kun once again joined the Wuji pile.

Finally, the heat on his back broke through the invisible barrier. Cheng Kun only felt that the strength of the pores on his back had suddenly increased, and his dark strength was clear, and the muscles on his back that were originally a little hard began to become soft. In addition, there are countless small meridians around the spine that have been opened up, and the essence hidden in these meridians has been released, making his true qi a little replenished, and the fire of the iron coat is also deeper.

Cheng Kun was not surprised by this, this situation appeared as early as when the dark energy reached the limbs, and the specific reason was not clear, probably the wonderful chemical reaction between the national art and the internal strength. It was precisely for this reason that although he had not opened up any of the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, the true qi in his body still did not stop growing.

Finally took another step, and Cheng Kun showed joy on his face. Now when he uses the sticker again, the power is definitely more than two or three times greater than before, even if it is a whole iron plate, it will be torn apart under his impact.

When Deng Xiaoxian and Hong Chao came back from the school, they saw Cheng Kun sitting in the room, with a smile on his face and a good mood. Deng Xiaoxian asked him the reason curiously, but Cheng Kun smiled and said nothing, which made Deng Xiaoxian a little crazy, his curiosity has always been strong.

Hong Chao just watched, he was sweating profusely, obviously just after a hard workout.

Cheng Kun smelled the familiar smell of medicinal wine on his body, and it seemed that Hong Chao had not relaxed during this time. He opened his mouth and asked, "Brother Hong Chao, how are the Tiger Roaring Golden Bell Jar and Tiger Shape Fist practicing now?"

Hong Chao didn't speak, took off his shirt, punched the tiger shape again, exhaled in his mouth, just like a tiger roaring in the mountains and forests, and for a while there seemed to be a fishy wind rolling up in the room.

Cheng Kun's eyes lit up, Hong Chao's progress surprised him a little, after all, although he was strong, his comprehension was much worse in comparison, but seeing that he already had some taste in this set of tiger-shaped fists, this could not but be said to be a surprise.

Deng Xiaoxian interjected: "Brother Kun, you have been practicing archery in the school field during this time, so I don't know, Hong Chao will now practice boxing every day until he is exhausted, I am scared when I see it like that, I can't do it like him anyway." ”

Cheng Kun showed a look of relief, although he didn't let Hong Chao call him master, but Hong Chao's practice also made him very happy. He said encouragingly: "Brother Hong Chao, you have practiced very well. As the saying goes, hard work pays off, and sweat is not a deceptive thing. Just be careful, don't overdo it, it's not good to hurt your body. ”

Hong Chao replied humbly: "Eh, Brother Kun, I know." ”

After receiving Cheng Kun's praise, he looked much more excited. During this time, he felt that he had endless strength in his body every day, and he couldn't wait to practice peerless martial arts in the next moment, kill the Peng family, and take revenge.

On the twentieth day, they gathered again in the school hall to teach the art of bows and arrows today. Cheng Kun is also a lot more serious, and he plans to take a good look at what the instructor does later, as a reference.

Captain Tie Niu walked up to the high platform, but did not demonstrate immediately, but first asked the veterans in the barracks to sift through everyone, bows and arrows are different from knives and guns, not everyone can learn. People with improper facial features (cross-eyed) can't learn, people with injured arms and bones can't learn, and people with thin bodies and weak arm strength can't learn......

After the selection, there were still more than 2,400 people left on the school field, and among these people, about 400 people could be selected to become specialized archers, a sixth, which is still relatively good, and sometimes the proportion is even lower. Everyone is rushing to become an archer, everyone is not stupid, after becoming an archer, you don't have to fight the enemy face-to-face when you go to the battlefield, you just need to hide under the wings of the military formation and release the arrows.

Although the good men of Youzhou are not afraid of death, wouldn't it be better if the chances of survival were greater.

Cheng Kun certainly belonged to one of the more than 2,400 people, he watched Captain Tie Niu pick up a two-stone strong bow, grab an arrow and put it on the bowstring, and then slowly pull it away, the movement is very slow but very stretched, people close to him can clearly see the muscle blocks on his arms are raised, after the bow is full moon, Tie Niu casually glanced at the arrow target eighty paces away, and then let go and shoot.

I saw that the long arrow turned into a blurred gray shadow, and in an instant, it flew over a distance of eighty paces, hitting the bull's-eye. Then there was a "bang", a large hole was broken in the center of the target, and the arrow had already flown nowhere.

There was silence on the school grounds, and then there was a roaring cheer: "Good!"
