Electromagnetic Tyrant

Chapter 13 Champion
The 60 contestants who advanced to the knockout round were divided into five groups, [-] people in each group, and they went to the competition venue under the leadership of the referee.

Ji Xinghuo was assigned to the third group by lottery.

Lu Yunhai happened to be the referee in this group, and when he passed by, he smiled and greeted Ji Xinghuo.

"Coach Lu, do you know each other?"

Fang Yinping was also assigned to this group, and when he saw the two talking, he asked curiously.

"Sister Fang, we are college classmates." Lu Yunhai immediately responded, he respected Fang Yinping's attitude, and explained: "Xinghuo has just learned archery for three weeks, and I signed him up for the course."

"It turned out to be true?" Fang Yinping was surprised.

She couldn't help but look at Ji Xinghuo again.

A novice can reach such an archery level, which shows that the shooting talent is extremely high, far surpassing most rangers.If it wasn't for his combination of dexterity and precision, and years of archery practice, he wouldn't dare to say that he would be able to beat Ji Xinghuo steadily.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Ji." Fang Yinping smiled, "I hope Mr. Ji will not take it to heart about the little misunderstanding in the morning."

Ji Xinghuo didn't take it seriously at first, "Sister Fang is worrying too much, it's a trivial matter."

Fang Yinping nodded and went back to prepare for the competition.

After she left, Ji Xinghuo asked: "What is this Sister Fang's background, she seems to be very famous."

"She's the daughter of a shareholder in our archery gym."

Lu Yunhai replied in a low voice, "Sister Fang used to come to the archery gym to practice, but recently she frequently competes in other places, so you haven't seen her. Her archery level is very high, and the curator has taught her many times. She has participated in the Leaf Shooting Cup five times and won two championships."

"No wonder." Ji Xinghuo was stunned.

"Sister Fang is cheerful and generous, and she is easy to get along with." Lu Yunhai said with a smile, "Many people in Chang'an's archery circle like her."

"What does this have to do with me?" Ji Xinghuo was a little puzzled.

"Haha, I just said it casually."

While speaking, he had arrived at the venue of the fourth round. Lu Yunhai returned to the team of referees and began to preside over the competition.

In this round, we will shoot a moving target 50 meters away, and only one person will be on the field at a time.

Ji Xinghuo looked around.

The venue is very open, and the weather today is also very good. Although it is hot summer, it is not as hot as in the city on Zhongnan Mountain. The contestants are hiding under the shade of the trees, watching the first contestant whose name is called come on stage.

Also 1 minute prep time.

beep!

The buzzer sounded, and a drone took off on the flat ground 50 meters away. The speed of the drone was not very fast, similar to the speed of ordinary people running. A ten-ring archery target with a diameter of 80 cm was hung below it, flying along a fixed route.

This is a moving target, there is only a two second shooting window, no timeout.

Snapped!
An arrow hits the target but misses the bullseye.

The contestant on the field shot the first arrow, kept moving, and immediately pulled out the second arrow and put it on the bow. Five seconds later, the second drone archery target flew over, and he quickly took aim and shot it out.

Five drone targets in a row flew over 50 meters away in order at intervals of five seconds, and the flying speed became faster and faster.

It took less than half a minute for the five arrows to be shot.

"39 rings!"

The screen at this end of the field immediately displayed the score, which was not too high, and the contestant backed away shaking his head.

The second player came on quickly and everyone had a short time.

Shooting five arrows in a row, one arrow is more difficult than the other, and the number of rings naturally decreases gradually, with an average score between 35 and 40 rings.

Not long after, Ji Xinghuo came on stage.

Clap clap clap clap!
Five crisp shots were made in one go, and the arrow hit the bull's-eye.

"50 rings!"

The contestants watching under the tree were amazed. This was the first full circle result in the fourth round. Many people asked about Ji Xinghuo's origin, but no one knew him.

But everyone didn't pay much attention to it, because Fang Yinping played and also scored 50 rings.

The fourth round is over.

In the group that Ji Xinghuo was in, four people got full marks.

Because of the tight schedule, the referee immediately took this group of players to the next venue for the fifth round.The fifth round is also shooting at a moving target, but the distance has been increased to 70 meters, and it is shooting at a depression angle, shooting arrows from a high place to a low place.

The field is located on a hillside, the players are concentrated at the top of the hill, and the archery target is halfway up the hillside, and there is a breeze blowing from time to time.

The difficulty of shooting has increased again.

The results of the players who appeared in front of them were worse than the last. After shooting five arrows, half of the results were below 30 rings.

Ji Xinghuo's luck is not very good.

When he was playing, a strong wind happened to blow across the hillside, causing two arrows to hit the nine rings, and finally got a score of 48 rings.

In the sixth round, the target distance was increased to 100 meters, and the shooting was at an elevation angle. The venue was moved to the bottom of the hill, but the target was on the hill.

The players were defeated one after another, and not many of them could get a score above 30 rings.

Ji Xinghuo's performance was not ideal either.

He shot five arrows and only one arrow hit the tenth ring, and got a score of 41 rings.However, this result is still among the best, because others have lower ring numbers.

At the end of the three rounds, the contestants waited for the results of the promotion.

Count the total scores of these three rounds of shooting, and the top 32 players will advance to the seventh round.

The results came out very quickly.

The rankings were displayed on the screens installed throughout the venue. Ji Xinghuo found his name at a glance, and ranked third with a total score of 139 points.

"I actually only came in third."

Ji Xinghuo was a little surprised. The difficulty of shooting in these three rounds was already very high, and someone actually scored 143 points, ranking first.

The score of No.2 is also 2 rings higher than myself.

That Fang Yinping also advanced, with a score of 138, tied for fifth place.

Ji Xinghuo turned his head to look at the weather. Outdoor shooting is easily affected by the weather, especially the wind. A slight mistake may miss the target.

With the existence of these uncertain factors, no one dares to say that they can secure the championship, it still depends on the performance on the spot.

Every top ten has a chance.

At this time, the radio sounded in the valley, playing continuously: "Please gather the 32 contestants who have advanced to the No. 9 shooting range. The seventh round will start in 15 minutes."

Ji Xinghuo hurried over.

Not only the advanced players, but also the eliminated players did not leave. They became spectators, wanting to see the final result of the game.

The No. 9 shooting range is set on a [-]-meter-high cliff, but the slope of the cliff is relatively gentle and guardrails are installed, so there is no danger.

On the edge of the cliff, a flat land and stands were opened up, enough to accommodate thousands of people watching the game.

The remaining four rounds will be held here.

When Ji Xinghuo arrived, most of the stands were already filled with people, Yang Tianqing and several other curators were also sitting and chatting.

"Everyone, please come up."

A referee stood on a platform protruding from the cliff, with shooting lines drawn on the ground, and 32 players stood a few meters away to keep a distance.

The referee quickly introduced the rules.

In the mid-air outside the cliff, dozens of drone targets are distributed in a certain area, flying continuously according to different speeds and trajectories.When the player is in position, one of the drones will light up a striking red light for one second, and the player must complete the shooting within this second.

Ji Xinghuo had watched the video before, but the scene was still very different from the video.

With so many people watching the game, it is inevitable that they will feel nervous.

"Number 76, Ji Xinghuo!"

In this round, the order of playing is determined by the number generated during registration. Ji Xinghuo's number is the smallest among the top 32, so he is the first to play.

Ji Xinghuo walked a few meters forward and stood in the shooting area.

All eyes were on him.

"call……"

Ji Xinghuo held the compound bow in his left hand, took the arrow in his right hand and placed it on the bow, and took a deep breath.

Immediately, the little tension in my heart subsided, and my spirit became calm and focused. I looked at the area 50 meters to 70 meters away from the cliff.Deep in the pupil of his right eye, there was a slight flicker, and the Wanxiang Xingpu reflected the movements in this area clearly in his mind.

The flow of the wind, the blazing sun, and those drones flying non-stop are like a picture in Ji Xinghuo's mind at this moment, fully vivid.

"Please prepare." The referee shouted.

Ji Xinghuo watched the ten-second countdown from the corner of his eye. When the time was up, the buzzer sounded.

beep!

Ji Xinghuo pulls the bow vigorously, maintains the posture of bowing, and gazes at dozens of drones swimming back and forth like a school of fish.

Suddenly, a drone lights up.

An arrow was shot almost at the same time, turned into a black line, and hit the target.

Ten rings!

Ji Xinghuo didn't look at the result of this arrow. He held the other four arrows in the palm of his right hand. His thousand dexterous hands played their role, dexterous and fast like a butterfly piercing flowers. He put one of the arrows on the bow, hooked the string with his thumb, and was ready for the next shot.

Another drone lights up, located at a distance of nearly 70 meters, but lower than the cliff platform.

Ji Xinghuo instantly adjusted the angle and shot downwards.

Snapped!
Ten rings!

He immediately took the third arrow, kept the rhythm, and shot the moment the third drone was lit up, followed by the fourth and fifth arrows, completing this round of shooting.

All five arrows are ten rings!
The hundreds of spectators sitting in the stands were stunned, and it took a few seconds for a burst of exclamation to erupt.

Surprise appeared on the faces of several curators.

Yang Tianqing noticed the logo of his own archery gym on Ji Xinghuo's clothes, and couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and was a little puzzled, when did his archery gym have such a powerful shooter?

Random archery targets ranging from 50 meters to 70 meters, hit five ten rings in a row, which is extremely difficult.

The players who played behind Ji Xinghuo all made mistakes to varying degrees.It was not until Fang Yinping came on stage that the second 50-ring score appeared.

When all the top 32 contestants finished, a total of five of them got the full ring results.

In this round, the bottom half of the players were eliminated, and the top 16 players entered the eighth round. They shot at random targets at the same position, and the distance became 70 meters to 100 meters.

Ji Xinghuo was still the first to play.

Five arrows shot.

He once again got five full marks of ten rings!
Now everyone knew that this strange shooter was definitely the number one seed to win today's championship. The other well-known players with outstanding strength were not as good as him, and their stability was terrifying.

Ji Xinghuo immediately became the focus of the audience.

He noticed that Yang Tianqing called a coach from his archery gym and asked a few words in a low voice.

Entering the ninth round, there are only eight players left.In this round, each of the top eight players can get a bonus, so they are very happy.

The shooting distance of the ninth round has changed from 100 meters to 120 meters.

Generally speaking, for shooters below super aliens, if the target distance exceeds [-] meters, the hit rate will drop significantly.

Ji Xinghuo is no exception.

Even though he had the support of Wanxiang Xingtong, he was limited by the performance of "Yi Feng" and his own ability level, and he had never trained such a long distance before. In the end, he failed to keep the tenth ring, and after shooting five arrows quickly, he only got the score of 42nd ring.

But that's enough to qualify for the Final Four, and it's No.1.

Tenth round.

The distribution area of ​​random arrow targets has expanded several times, from 50 meters to 150 meters, and the mid-air outside the cliff is densely packed with drones. There are more than 200 drones in total, which looks spectacular.

The shooting window is also cut in half to just half a second.

A total of ten arrows are shot.

This also tests the shooter's reaction, skill, bow range and sustained concentration. Ordinary people can't get a point when they shoot.Even if it is a foreigner, if it is not trained, it is difficult to achieve a score of more than 10. The same is true for most of the shooters present.

The order of playing in the final round is based on the results of the ninth round, and the player with the lowest ring number will play first.

"Cedar oak."

The first one to play was a well-known archer in the Chang'an archery circle.

He was the one who scored 143 points in the knockout round.

Bai Li is an intermediate ranger, using a traditional bow, sticking nine arrows in a row by his feet, standing on the shooting position and taking a deep breath, then raised his bow and set his arrows, looking intently at the area outside the cliff.

beep!

With a soft sound, Bai Li began to shoot rapidly, one by one arrows were pulled up from the ground, and shot at the drone in mid-air.

After shooting ten arrows, Bai Li seemed to be drained of strength, and his whole body relaxed.

"55 rings!"

Bai Li shook his head, very dissatisfied with his results.

The second semi-finalist played even worse, with three arrows missing the target or overtime, and only got a score of 25. He was so angry that he almost dropped his bow.

Then came Fang Yinping.

She also advanced all the way to the semi-finals, and she performed well in the ninth round, second only to Ji Xinghuo.

Ji Xinghuo watched her shoot arrows, all of them hit the target, and the number of rings was not low.According to the final statistics, her score is 61 rings, temporarily ranking first.

Fang Yinping was very satisfied, and waved to accept the applause from the audience.

When she missed Ji Xinghuo who was playing, she whispered, "Come on!"

Ji Xinghuo nodded slightly.

He stood in the shooting position, and there was no disturbance in his heart, because he knew that he had won the championship, and the next thing to do was to go through the process.

But the audience didn't know, and instead became nervous for Ji Xinghuo.

beep!

As soon as the buzzer sounded, Ji Xinghuo shot the first arrow.Before many spectators saw the result clearly, his second arrow was also shot.

Although the flying speed of the drone is faster than the previous three rounds, the trajectory is more complex and the range is larger.

But in front of Wanxiang Xingtong, there is not much difference.

Ji Xinghuo finished shooting ten arrows with a calm face.

Every arrow hit the illuminated drone target, but limited by his own strength and control, he couldn't hit the bull's-eye all of them.In the eyes of the audience, his movements are pleasing to the eye, standard and smooth, like an archery machine without emotion.

"72 rings!"

The referee shouted loudly, and the results were displayed on the big screen.

A champion is born!
"Wow..."

The audience stood up and applauded enthusiastically.

Fang Yinping also had to admire, because this was the best result in the tenth round of the previous "Sheye Cup".

The awarding ceremony began soon. Bo Li won the third place and Fang Yinping was the second. The two curators of the archery gym presented awards to them respectively.

The champion will be presented by Yang Tianqing.

With a smile on his face, this super alien came to the stage holding a golden trophy in the form of a shooter, and shouted to everyone: "Now I announce that Ji Xinghuo has won the 15th 'Leaf Shooting Cup' champion!" He handed the trophy to Ji Xinghuo, and said with a smile: "Congratulations."

"Thank you, curator."

Ji Xinghuo raised the trophy with one hand and showed it to everyone, causing a burst of applause, someone took a photo, and then the game was over.
