After resting for a while to recuperate his energy, Chai Tiannuo arrived at Ruolin Academy at the foot of the mountain under the golden red sun. After eating, under the watchful eyes of his adoptive father and mother-in-law, Chai Tiannuo led Yu Zhen'er to the martial arts academy.
The external exam on the second day was about archery. It was quite a gimmick. It was called, Li Kuang shoots the tiger!
The reason why it is called Li Kuang shoots the tiger is because the famous Dahua general Li Kuang is good at shooting.
One day when he was out hunting, Li Kuang saw a large colorful insect lying in the grass. He immediately drew his bow and shot at it. Only when he got closer did he realize that it was a big stone.
The accompanying soldiers stepped forward and were surprised to find that the carved feather arrow shot into the stone nearly a foot away!
The archery test in the liberal arts academy uses ordinary archery targets. One out of three targets from a distance of ten feet is considered a passing mark. Those who hit all three arrows are considered rare.
Since Li Kuang's name is on the martial arts archery test, the content of the test is naturally different from that of the liberal arts academy.
Thirty large stones are erected neatly on the south side of the university grounds. The stone surfaces are all painted with pictures of roaring tigers in the forest. If you want to pass, you must hit the tiger's vitals and the stone will not fall off.
As for the ranking, the winner will be determined by the depth of the stone.
After listening to Bian Sheng's story, Chai Tiannuo started sweating on his forehead:
"Brother Bian, that is a hard bluestone, how can it not fall off if it is hung on!"
"I'm afraid no one passed this shooting test in previous years, right?"
"How is it possible? If that were the case, wouldn't the martial arts school be slapping itself in the face?"
Bian Sheng smiled and shook his head, then pointed at the big stone and explained it. Chai Tiannuo looked at it carefully and nodded with sudden realization.
It turns out that these bluestones are mixed with several layers of soft shale, which are right at the tiger's vital point. As long as the arrow is shot, it will definitely hang the arrow.
"Brother Bian, if the arrow hits the hole of the previous person's arrow, how should we judge it?"
Chai Tiannuo looked carefully and saw that there were many arrow holes of different depths on the boulder, which should have been left during the archery test a few years ago. With 600 tigers, there must be many arrow holes that were shot before.
"It all depends on who is lucky."
Bian Sheng scratched his face, gritted his teeth and said:
"The dean once said that even if a blind cat encounters a dead mouse, it will still be a mouse after all. This luck is also part of ability."
Chai Tiannuo couldn't help but grin. The dean's brain circuit was really amazing.
“The archery test has begun, don’t forget to act according to your ability when choosing a bow!”
An invigilator shouted so loudly that he silenced all the noise generated by more than 600 people.

Go down, this loud voice is really amazing!
Chai Tiannuo dug out his itchy ear canal and couldn't help but look forward in surprise. He could actually choose a bow for the archery test. He was worthy of being a martial arts academy specializing in martial arts.
The Academy of Arts' archery test required a unified five-bow bow test. Chaitino failed in the examination, but his archery skills were good.
Wudou is not considered heavy, and it is not difficult for Chai Tiannuo to practice. Uncle Cao also said that when two armies are fighting, one good archer is as good as ten good swordsmen.
Therefore, he worked very hard on the art of archery. Not to mention the actual combat, at least two of the three arrows could hit the target.
Looking at the slowly advancing team, Chai Tiannuo suddenly took a breath of cold air. He was careless and didn't notice the difference in the shooting test earlier!
My strength has changed, and the rules of the exam have also changed. If I had known earlier, I would have tried the bow yesterday.
The performance and arrow paths of bows of different weights vary greatly, and there will definitely be differences when you first start using them.
After thinking for a long time, Chaitino finally decided to choose the strongest bow with the largest weight!
The larger the weight, the straighter the arrow path, and the less chance of error.
In the same way, one of the three arrows hit the target. The tiger warriors were also very familiar with the weight of the bow they used, so the team moved forward at a slow pace. In addition, Chaitino was in the front position today, and it was not long before it was his turn.
he.
Bian Sheng had just finished shooting and hit three out of three arrows. The deepest arrow penetrated the stone three inches. The result was really good.
"Yaba Wang, please choose a bow. I hope you will perform well in the shooting test."
The invigilator said with a smile that in his eyes, Chaitino looked much more pleasing to the eye in his double-breasted attire than yesterday in his long gown.
Chaitino grinned at his teacher, then lowered his head to study the longbows neatly placed on the table.
There are many bows, most of which are cowhide bows. The smallest one, Qipou, has never been chosen by anyone until now. After all, the weight is too small and the possibility of hanging a stone is very slim.
The vast majority of Hu Bi'er chose a one-stone bow, which was of moderate size and easier to master. A few of them chose a one-stone and five-dou bow, and those were people with outstanding martial arts, such as Shen Tu Zijin and Bian Sheng.
Taking a one-stone bow, Chai Tiannuo filled the bow easily and shook his head. It was too soft. He tried the one-stone and five-douch bow again, and it was the same.
"Just try the sinew-backed bow at the top. You are too strong. Bows of other weights are not suitable for you."
Chai Tiannuo looked back and saw that the person speaking was instructor Lu Tai. He nodded quickly to him, thinking in his heart, instructor Lu
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Why did Xi come to his side like a ghost without making a sound?
Picking up the unstrung tendon bow, Chai Tiannuo turned around and held the moon in his arms to string it up. The strength came out immediately, and it was indeed different from the previous cowhide long bow.
The thumb flicked the bow string lightly, and the buzzing sound was even and clear. When the string was pressed and the bow opened three inches, there was no noise for a few seconds. Chaitino nodded, pulled right and pushed left, and the bow opened eight minutes.
A few seconds passed, and the tendon bow still did not make any abnormal sound. Chaitino nodded with satisfaction.
Seeing Chaitino's performance, the teachers all nodded slightly.
This is the bow testing method taught by Cao Fu. It’s okay to say that the stress accumulation of a light-weight bow is not large. If you don’t try a heavy-weight bow and just start using it, if you make a mistake, you may be injured or even killed!
Hold the bow string and slowly reset it. There is no need to rush here. If the arrow is not released and the stress cannot be dissipated, a good sinew bow will be useless.
After waiting for a moment, his arms suddenly exerted force, and the three-stone bow instantly became a full moon!
The instructors nodded repeatedly. Many people had tried this bow, the heaviest sinew bow in the martial arts academy, but most of them couldn't even draw five points. Unexpectedly, Chai Tiannuo was able to draw it so easily. He was indeed born with supernatural power.
Slowly resetting, Chaitino shook his head slightly. It was still a little too light. He had no difficulty in shooting the bow by himself. He lacked the sense of calmness under pressure.
"Boy, try this bow. If you can shoot it, I will give it to you!"
Chai Tiannuo knew without looking that it was Yuwen Yuanbai, the dean of the martial arts academy, who had arrived. There was no one else but him in that trembling voice like morning bells and evening drums.
"Dean!"
Everyone saluted, Yuwen Yuanbai waved his hand, raised his right arm, and held an unstrung horn bow in his hand, shaped like a crescent moon.
Chaitino was attracted by this bow at first sight. This was the first time for him to see such a beautiful bow in two lifetimes!
Like the three-stone bow, this is also a tendon-backed horn bow, but the two are completely incomparable.
This horn bow does not have an outer layer of snakeskin for protection, so the inner condition is clearly visible.
The body is made of golden silk bamboo, the lining is made of transparent and rare albino buffalo horn, and the arched back is made of fish bladder glue boiled with a secret method, and layer after layer of beef back sinew is brushed on it.
The tip is made of dark glossy rosewood, with an albino angle piece attached to the string opening, and the joints are reinforced with catgut. The entire bow is also coated with beeswax for protection. The workmanship is extremely exquisite and the maintenance is very attentive.
