Electromagnetic Tyrant

Chapter 12 Shooting Leaf Cup

three days later.

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

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

Walk as you want, and stop as you want; the operation is simple and the movements are silky smooth.

Power shoes are the best choice for short-distance travel!
In less than 3 minutes, Ji Xinghuo arrived at the Qishan Wutong Archery Gym.

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

Most of the people who come and go around carry bow bags, and gather together in twos and threes to chat.

Like Ji Xinghuo, they are all contestants.

"A sea of ​​clouds."

Ji Xinghuo paused, and the pulleys retracted into the soles of the shoes, turning into a pair of normal sneakers.

When he walked into the archery hall, he saw Lu Yunhai in the crowd. He was 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 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 over 50 meters, so he has a greater grasp.

"Have you understood the schedule?" Lu Yunhai confirmed it.

"of course."

Ji Xinghuo received the "Sheye Cup" competition procedure on the day of registration, and read it carefully twice at home.

The competition is divided into ten rounds in total, and the difficulty increases with each round.

The first three rounds were group competitions, which were held in seven archery gyms that jointly hosted the competition. They played in groups, and in one morning, the top 3000 with the best results were determined from nearly 300 contestants, and they entered the fourth to sixth rounds of knockout rounds.

In the knockout round in the afternoon, the contestants will gather at an archery field outside Chang'an, and use three rounds to decide the top 32.

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

The last remaining four contestants enter the tenth round to compete for the final champion!

The whole schedule is only one day, very tight.

Lu Yunhai walked away after saying a few words. As one of the referees, he has a heavy workload today.

Ji Xinghuo found a corner in the archery gym and sat down, took out the compound bow and calibrated it again.The competition theme of the Shooting Leaf Cup is biased towards actual combat. Sighting equipment can be used, but the balance bar cannot be installed, and each shooting must be completed within a limited time. Overtime results are invalid.

He observed other players around him, more than 80% of them used compound bows like himself, but most of them were shooting bows in compound bows, not hunting bows.

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

The remaining 20% ​​of players have both traditional bows and barebows. There are dozens of bows of various models and shapes, and there are many unorthodox bows that are difficult to identify.

Traditional bows and barebows test the level of archery even more. Anyone who dares to compete with these two bows will have the same strength.

Several sought-after contestants use traditional bows.

They were surrounded by fans, signing autographs all the time.

However, Ji Xinghuo had just learned archery for two or three weeks, and except for Lu Yunhai, he didn't know anyone in this circle, nor did anyone else know him.

"The game is ready to begin."

The radio in the archery hall sounded, and a female voice said, "All contestants, please go to the corresponding venue according to your own group."

There are more than 400 contestants in Qishan Wutong Archery Hall, divided into five groups, and each group is assigned a floor of archery range.

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

Several referees are maintaining order.

"Start the first round of shooting now." A referee shouted loudly: "Please call the players with their names and numbers to come forward, four at a time, and stand in the designated shooting area. Please don't make noise, so as not to affect the players on the field."

The place quickly quieted down.

The referee named the names of the four contestants. They stood in a row, 50 meters in front of them was the target to be shot in the first round, and each of them had a timer beside them.

"Ten minutes to prepare."

The contestants should be ready to shoot within 1 minute. Once the time is up, they must shoot the first arrow within three seconds; then prepare for another ten seconds and shoot the second arrow; each interval is ten seconds, and then they must shoot within three seconds until all ten arrows are shot.

One minute is up soon, and with the buzzer beeping, a three-second countdown begins.

clap clap clap...

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

After 3 minutes, this group of players completed ten arrow shooting.

Ji Xinghuo looked at the opposite target. 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 ten rings, and the other three scored between 90 and 97 rings.

Judging from their annoyed expressions, they obviously didn't play properly.

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

"The second group of players enter the field."

A group of players completed the ten-arrow shooting. Ji Xinghuo found that most of the players scored around 95 points, and very few players could hit 100 points.

These outstanding players are almost all aliens, either they are rangers like themselves, or they are stalkers.

After half an hour.

Ji Xinghuo heard his name and went on stage with three other players.

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

"Ten minutes to prepare."

With a calm mind, Ji Xinghuo took out an arrow and set it on "Yi Feng", waiting for the preparation time to end.

beep!

When the buzzer sounded, he quickly shot the first arrow, pop!
ten rings.

Out of the corner of his vision, he saw the target next to him, which was also the tenth ring, and he shot almost at the same time as himself.

It was only then that Ji Xinghuo noticed the person next to him, but he didn't get distracted by it, and after ten seconds passed, he shot the second arrow.

ten rings.

ten rings.

ten rings...

Ji Xinghuo's hands are fast and steady, like mechanical hands that have been set up, every shooting action is exactly the same, without any deviation.

After ten arrows, he got the score of 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 hit the full ring, and the remaining one was not bad, with a score of 99 rings.

Ji Xinghuo and the other two full circle players looked at each other, nodded their heads and left.

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

Then came the second round.

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

Of course, the aliens with outstanding archery skills still maintain a high level.

Ji Xinghuo's second round score was still 100.

In the third round, the distance of the target was extended to 100 meters, which greatly increased the difficulty. Many contestants missed the target, and most of them only got the results below 50 rings.

Ji Xinghuo still hit a full circle!

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

"Getting acquainted."

The female contestant from the same group came over and introduced herself, "My name is Fang Yinping, from Chang'an, an intermediate ranger."

She is about 30 years old, has a heroic face, is about 1.6 meters tall, has a well-proportioned figure in a white archer suit, and carries a bare bow behind her back, highlighting her capable temperament, and her whole body is full of vigor and flexibility.

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

"Mr. Ji is very young!"

Fang Yinping had already sized him up several times, smiled, and asked, "Why haven't I heard of such a high level of archery before?"

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

Ji Xinghuo replied truthfully: "I just learned archery not long ago, and this is my first time participating in a competition."

Fang Yinping froze for a moment, a look of displeasure flashed across his face, obviously disbelieving, thinking that Ji Xinghuo was fooling himself with nonsense.

"Then I wish Mr. Ji a good ranking." After leaving 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 all knew whether they could advance.

Most of them came to join in the fun, to see high-level archers, 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, and finally Lu Yunhai came out, and the two of them went to have lunch together.

Lu Yunhai asked, "How are your grades?"

Ji Xinghuo picked up the new mobile phone he had just 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!"

in the 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.

This venue is very large, and a tall screen is erected on the side of the entrance of the assembly point, playing the promotional video of "Sheye Cup".A rostrum is set up under the screen, and each shooting position in the venue is equipped with a floating camera, which broadcasts live in real time, making it very formal.

Three hundred contestants who advanced to the knockout round arrived one after another.

Two in the afternoon.

Seven curators of the archery gym boarded the rostrum, and five of them were strangers.

Ji Xinghuo immediately noticed Yang Tianqing, the curator of the Qishan Wutong Archery Museum, and Lu Yunhai often mentioned him to him.Yang Tianqing is a super alien, and his professional template is also a ranger. His archery skills are extremely superb and his strength is powerful. Only those who have signed up for his courses can see him.

Yang Tianqing was of medium stature, neither tall nor short, with empty hands, but anyone could tell that he was not an ordinary middle-aged man.

His eyes were extremely sharp, like blades.

Many contestants 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 then turned his head.

"Good afternoon, archers!" Yang Tianqing stood on the stage and said a few words on behalf of the seven archery gyms, encouraging the contestants to show their strength and strive for the ranking.The rewards of this competition are very rich, the top eight have bonuses, and the champion can get 20!
This is a bit more than previous sessions, and the players were not surprised, many of them came just for the prize money.

"let's start."

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