The news that there was a competition in the Youth Garden spread quickly, and people from everywhere rushed to the Youth Garden for fear of missing the competition.

In particular, the two sides in the competition are the young master of Zhongjing City and the prosperous Lu An. Needless to say, everyone knows about the grievances between these two people. Therefore, this competition is extremely explosive and neither side will hold back.

Although Youth Garden is built on a lake, with water bridges and water pavilions everywhere, there is a large round platform in the middle of the lake. This round platform is much higher than other places. In the past, it was often used by people to enjoy singing and dancing performances.

Use it. But I didn’t expect that it would come in handy today.

More and more people are entering the Youth Garden. Whether they are on the outskirts of the lake, on the bridge, or in the pavilion, they are crowded with people. People are looking up at the round platform, for fear of missing any detail.

Compared with this competition, the so-called lantern viewing, guessing puzzles, and ice sculpture viewing are nothing, this is the highlight! Everyone was excited about this unexpected show, and everyone was talking about it, clearly expressing their opinions.

"I heard that there will be five competitions, namely archery, scenting, weapon refining, alchemy and dice! And Wang Wei can send different people to these five events, but only Lu An can do it!"

"Isn't this a bit too difficult? None of these five items can be done well by someone with high strength. Even archery is the same, it is a very skillful thing!"

"Who says it's not the case? There's also smelling incense. How many people in the entire Zhongjing City can smell incense? Only Wang Wei's group can concentrate on doing this kind of thing!"

"Isn't it the same with refining weapons and alchemy? This kid has such a high level of cultivation at such a young age. He must have put all his energy into training. How can he be able to refine alchemy and weapons? Let alone compete with dice in the end!"

"..."

For a moment, everyone was complaining about Lu An. No matter how you looked at it, Lu An could not win this game.

However, some people also feel strange that so many people think it is impossible to win, so why does Lu An agree to it? Is he a fool?

The discussion below the stage was extremely noisy, but on the round stage, people from both sides were already in place. Lu An and Han Ya were seen standing on the west side of the round stage, while Wang Wei, Wang Xue and four others were standing on the east side of the round stage. The two sides were far away.

Look at each other and wait patiently.

Lu An frowned slightly and looked at the four people on the other side. If there were only four people, it meant that there was one more requirement.

Wang Wei came in person.

"If you lose, my family will pay the money." From the side, Han Ya's cold voice suddenly sounded, very firm.

Lu An was stunned, turned to look at Han Ya, couldn't help but smile and said, "That's not necessary, and senior sister, don't think that I will definitely lose."

Han Ya was startled and looked at Lu An strangely, because even she didn't have any hope for Lu An.

At this moment, a middle-aged man suddenly strode into the round platform. Lu An had never seen this man before, and Han Ya said directly, "This man is the owner of the Yuanxiao Garden."

Lu An suddenly realized what he said.

I saw this middle-aged man striding to the center of the round platform, looking around with a smile on his face, and said in the loudest voice, "Today is the Lantern Festival, the young master of Zhongjing City, Wang Wei, and the Han family are sitting here.

An, it’s my Yuanxiao Garden’s honor to compete here!”

"As the owner of this place, I also feel very happy. In order to ensure that the competition is fair and just, I personally presided over this competition. There are five rounds in total, including bows and arrows, smelling incense, weapon refining, alchemy, and dice! Five rounds are the best.

, I am willing to admit defeat!"

As soon as these words came out, the audience immediately burst into warm applause, whistles and cheers. Everyone seemed extremely excited. Needless to say, they were already looking forward to this game.

The middle-aged man also knew that there was no need to warm up by himself, so he smiled and said loudly, "Then I won't disturb everyone's interest. This first game is bow and arrow!"

After finishing speaking, several people suddenly brought up a shelf from behind, and on the shelf were two longbows and two quivers, and the quivers were full of bows and arrows.

At the same time, on the other side of the Youth Garden, someone suddenly jumped up, took a target and flew directly to the ice sculpture in the lake, and inserted the target into the ice sculpture!

"Both the two bows and arrows in the first game were provided by me, Yuanxiao Garden. I guarantee that whether they are long bows or arrows, they are exactly the same, and there is no distinction between them!"

"The target is exactly fifty feet away from here! And the winning criterion for the first game is also very simple. Whoever hits the target with three arrows first will be the winner! If two people hit the third arrow at the same time,

, then who is closer to the bull’s eye and who is

Winner!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of exclamations.

In the army, the effective shooting distance of archers or cavalry is fifty feet, and this ice sculpture is exactly fifty feet away from the round platform. However, the size of this target is only four feet, and it is actually very small when it is fifty feet away.

!

Not to mention archery, some people are just under the round platform. Looking at the target from a distance, they feel that the target is small and pitiful. The effective distance is one thing, but being accurate is another!

Moreover, this long bow is obviously not a special bow. It is exactly the same as the bow used by the army. Even for cultivators, if they use too much force, they may break the bow string. At that time, they will not even need to shoot at the target, and they can just admit defeat.

.

As the middle-aged man finished speaking, he looked to the left and right and raised their hands. Immediately, Lu An started to walk towards the center, and beside Wang Wei, an extremely strong man came out.

Even the heavy clothes in winter could not hide this man's strong muscles, and he walked like a strong man. When the two of them came to the center, their height and figure formed a sharp contrast.

The big guy looked at Lu An and snorted coldly, with ridicule in his eyes. If it were a competition of strength, he would definitely not be Lu An's opponent, but if it were a competition of archery, this kid would have to go back and practice for a few more lifetimes!

Someone in the audience also recognized this person and said quickly, "This man is the non-commissioned officer who trains soldiers in archery in the city lord's palace. It can be said that he is the best archery person in the city lord's palace!"

When the people around him heard this, they were shocked. If he said that, it would be even more impossible for Lu An to win!

The middle-aged man looked at the two people on the left and right, smiled and said, "You two can try the bow first."

Lu An heard this and took off the long bow from the shelf. This bow was very light to hold, but with Lu An's current physical strength, even a piece of iron would not be heavy in his hand.

It is true that he has never shot many arrows. He only shot with the roughest homemade arrows when he was hunting wild animals in Tabukar. But he had seen other people shooting arrows once or twice. That was when he was at the dock, where there were wealthy people.

He had seen them playing archery on the deck of the ship from a distance.

Other than that, there is no experience.

"No need to try!" The big man waved his hand and said loudly, "Let's start now, I don't have time to waste with this kid!"

> The middle-aged man was startled, glanced at the big man, and then looked at Wang Wei in the distance. He saw Wang Wei looking at him with a gloomy face, which made him feel shocked!

"Okay." The middle-aged man coughed and said loudly, "The game starts now!"

Lu An was startled. The sudden start made him unable to react. On the other side, the big man had instantly taken out an arrow from his quiver, placed it on his bow, fully drawn it, and aimed at the target in the distance.

To be honest, such a long distance is very challenging for him. Even in teaching, he always said that if you want to shoot accurately, you must be within thirty feet. If you want to shoot at fifty feet, don't ask for it.

Is there anything accurate?

Taking a deep breath, the big man pulled the long bow fuller, as if the bow was about to break. When he took the deepest breath, he held his breath for a moment, then relaxed the string, and the bow and arrow came out!

Whoosh!

The long sword is like a rainbow, heading straight for the target in the distance with great power!

Everyone's eyes immediately followed the movement of the arrow. They saw the arrow draw a slight arc in the air and fly half the distance in an instant with sufficient power!

Halfway there, the bow and arrow began to drop slightly.

But even so, the bow and arrow still carried strong wind and headed straight for the target. Everyone looked at the accurate path and couldn't help but feel nervous!

Could it be said that the first arrow will hit the target?

Close.

Closer.

Whoosh!

When everyone saw the arrow flying almost close to the target, their hearts suddenly dropped, and they sighed, feeling sorry for the arrow.

Just a little bit closer to hitting the target!

However, with so many arrows in the quiver, if only the first arrow can be so accurate, wouldn’t all subsequent arrows hit?

Just when everyone was sighing, they suddenly saw the young man on the round platform taking out arrows from his quiver and placing them on his long bow.

When everyone saw this, they gasped! The big guy's first arrow made them even more excited, but what about this young man's first arrow?

Just when he thought of this, Lu An on the stage frowned, and in an instant the arrow came out of his hand!
Chapter completed!
