Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 97
Liang Xiao ignored Li Jiao, took a deep breath, and slowly closed his eyes.

He shot twice, a total of eight arrows, although he only hit three arrows, but he was already familiar with the field.There are many factors that affect archery, the environment, wind direction, weather, and even the angle of the sun will have an impact.Arrow Hou is a hundred steps away, and the shooting part is about the same size as the chest and abdomen of the catcher standing next to him. It is not easy to see clearly, but it is even more difficult to shoot.

What Huan Yuan taught him was sound shooting and paying attention to his ears, but his eyesight was not outstanding.After practicing hard for a year, his eyesight is only slightly better than the average person's. Compared with Li Jiao, who practiced archery since childhood, he has no advantage at all.

However, he is more focused than Li Jiao.Adhering to Huan Yuan's teaching of "sitting, lying, walking, never leaving the bow", he has to think about archery almost all the time, not just when holding the bow and pinching the arrow.

Huan Yuan didn't let him practice martial arts because he was afraid that he would be distracted, and hoped that he could practice archery all the time.

This point, only their masters and apprentices know, others don't know it at all.

After concentrating for a long time, Liang Xiao already had some insights.For example, at this moment, he can feel the wind that is gradually increasing.The wind blew past my ears, and there was a soft hum, which was at least [-]% more than before.If you don't experience it carefully, most people will not feel this change at all.

But he noticed.

After quietly listening to the sound of the wind for a moment, Liang Xiao took a long breath, opened his eyes suddenly, raised the bow with lightning speed, drew it full, and released it as soon as it was full.The bowstring trembled, and the feathered arrow left the string.

Liang Xiao remained motionless, maintaining the posture of opening the bow and releasing the arrow, but closed his eyes and listened carefully to the wind in his ears.

The sound of the wind didn't change.

"Bow right!" The winner shouted from a distance, showing a little surprise.So far, Liang Xiao and the two of them have shot seven arrows in total. The first six arrows all hit the one with the largest area, and it was the first time that they hit the bow, so he shouted very loudly.

"Catch!" The audience cheered in unison, all happy for Liang Xiao's shot to the right.At such a long distance, although it can't be compared with Zhonghu and Zhongzhi, it is still rare.Even if it is accidental, it is worth applauding.Even Li Guang nodded involuntarily.

Li Danghu smiled and said nothing.

Li Jiao frowned, stood on the object again, put on an arrow, looked at the arrow in the distance, and raised the bow.He was not affected by anything, and according to the established habit, he aimed at the upper part of the arrow, the largest one, and shot it out.

This time, he hit the previous one with one arrow.He retracted his bow, glanced at Liang Xiao, and gave up his position again.

Liang Xiao didn't look at him at all.When Li Jiao was shooting arrows, he kept his eyes closed, feeling the wind in his ears.The wind seemed to strengthen a bit, he slightly adjusted his aim, and shot out with one arrow.

The range of adjustment seemed to be a bit large, and the arrow shot past the edge of the right bow.If it can be slightly higher or lower, it is completely possible to hit the previous or the next one.The winner was a little regretful and waved the flag.

"We are the same again." Li Jiao laughed, and fired his bow again, hitting the arrow again.This time, he hit the next one.He smiled smugly. "It's all on you."

Liang Xiao once again stood on the object, leaning to the left, holding the bow in his left hand and hanging down, and drawing the string with his right hand, but he didn't draw the bow, but closed his eyes, remained motionless, and listened carefully to the sound of the wind in his ear.

Liang Xiao didn't open his bow for a long time, and the people beside him were a little puzzled and began to discuss in whispers.Li Gan teased and said, "Why doesn't he shoot? Is he afraid? If the arrow misses, he has no chance of winning."

"What do you know?" Li Guang's face was very serious. "He's listening to the wind."

"Listen to the wind?" Li Gan was surprised. "He listens to the wind with his ears and distinguishes the speed and direction of the wind?"

"That's right, this is the secret skill of the sonic shooter." Li Guang said in a low voice: "Usually the shooter judges the wind speed and direction with his eyes, but the sonic shooter is different because he relies on his ears. Listening with ears, it seems Clumsy, but it can make people concentrate more, and can also mobilize innate power. The better the hearing, the greater the strength, the faster the arrow is shot, and the easier it is to hit the target."

"Innate strength?" Li Gan was taken aback: "What kind of strength is this, why have you never heard of it, Ah Weng?"

"The innate power can only be obtained through enlightenment, and you can't force it. It's too early to pursue it blindly, and it will affect your archery practice. Hey, Liang Xiao has just practiced archery for a year. Could it be that he has realized the innate power?"

At this moment, Liang Xiao caught the moment when the sound of the wind slowed down, and his left-leaning body suddenly lifted up. He raised the bow with his left hand, and drew the string with his right hand.

"Whoosh!" Feather arrows flew towards it, but disappeared in a flash.As soon as the arrow left the string, Liang Xiao felt the wind in his ears again, and his heart immediately rose to his throat.

At a distance of one hundred steps, the arrow takes more than two seconds to fly, and a slight change in wind speed may cause the arrow to miss the target.He made adjustments, but he couldn't promise.If the arrow hits the air, he will have no chance of winning. At most, he will be tied with Li Jiao, regardless of the outcome.

"Zhonghu!" The winner yelled, showing indescribable surprise.

Liang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.Not only did the arrow not miss the target, but it actually hit the swan. It was really good luck.He looked at Li Jiao, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth: "Li Jun, it seems that my luck is good. One arrow hits the target, and the other arrow hits the target. If your last arrow doesn't hit the target, there is basically no hope of winning.

Li Jiao's face became ugly, and he was very worried.Of course he knew that the wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the difficulty of shooting had increased several times, let alone hitting the target.However, what Liang Xiao said was right, if he couldn't hit the target, he still couldn't guarantee victory.

Holding the bow, Li Jiao hesitated for a moment.

Li Guang was very disappointed.He could probably guess Li Jiao's mood at the moment.However, what disappointed him was not that Li Jiao might lose, but Li Jiao's lack of self-confidence at the moment.Tong Meng practiced archery and had participated in countless competitions and hunting. Li Jiao's experience was far richer than Liang Xiao's, but his state of mind was not as strong as Liang Xiao's. This was what disappointed him.

It's just a competition where hands and feet are so tied, if it's a head-to-head confrontation, how much of his shooting skills can he still display?Li Guang thought of Zheng's letter at that time, and Liang Xiao's courage in the confrontation with Feng Ji, so he couldn't help sighing, turned around and left.

Li Danghu didn't leave, he stood where he was, watching the two players quietly.

Li Jiao glanced back at Li Guang, but just in time to see Li Guang turn around and leave, his heart sank.

Is my father disappointed in me?That's right, the wind is so strong, it is so difficult to hit the target.

Liu Ling, who had been watching coldly, showed a relieved smile.This heart-wrenching match is finally coming to an end, Li Jiao is already in a mess, and it is very likely that he will miss the last arrow.In this way, even if Liang Xiao shot the last arrow in the air, he could still win by hitting the target with one arrow.

At least she doesn't have to suffer a huge loss of a thousand gold.

She looked back at Xiucheng Zizhong and Han Yan, and smiled.
