To be honest, Chai Yan was a little discouraged. He really didn't expect archery to be so difficult. If he continued to improve at the current rate, he would definitely fail the assessment in three days!
However, Chai Yan was not a person who gave up easily. The more Shangguan Peining became sarcastic, the more Chai Yan cheered up and determined to continue practicing to improve his level.
But now that all the arrows have been shot, if you want to continue practicing Chai Yan, you have to pick up the arrows that were shot out. It is good to have feather arrows in the storage space, but you can't just conjure them out of thin air on the school field.
So it took about a quarter of an hour for Chai Yan to finally find twenty feather arrows.
Just as he was about to start a new round of practice, Shangguan Peining said: "I have to pick up the arrows myself every time. This is too inefficient. Do you still want to pass the test?"
Indeed, you have to pick it up every time you shoot a pot of arrows. The time spent is enough to shoot two pots of arrows!
Chai Yan twitched the corners of his lips and said, "Why, don't you continue to laugh at me?"
Shangguan Peining was playful: "It's always boring to do one thing, but it's pointless to do more, right?"
"Oh, I thought you never got tired of playing!" Chai Yan said.
Shangguan Peining's tone became serious at this time: "Stop talking nonsense, go back and lie down quickly, and we will talk after you come in!"
Chai Yan understood what she meant and asked: "If I practice in the mind space, will it be the same as outside?"
"I would like to ask you, do you still want to pass the test?" Shangguan Peining spoke up.
Two quarters of an hour later, Chai Yan returned the moon-chasing bow and a pot of twenty feather arrows, and then returned to his residence.
Chai Yan lay down on the bed, closed his eyes and said to himself: "Escape!"
After the bright light faded, Chai Yan opened his eyes and found that he was standing on a very familiar field.
Chai Yan was surprised: "This...isn't this the school ground of Wudesi?"
"How is it? Isn't this palace very powerful?" Shangguan Peining's proud voice immediately appeared behind Chai Yan.
Chai Yan turned around and saw that Shangguan Peining was floating about a foot away behind him, with his toes about three feet above the ground.
Chai Yan smacked his mouth and said without any pain or itch: "It looks okay, but I don't know how to use it..."
"Stretch out your hands!" Shangguan Peining said loudly.
Chai Yan did as he was told, and as soon as he stretched out his hands, a moon-chasing bow appeared on his arms out of thin air.
Chai Yan suddenly felt the weight of the Moon Chasing Bow with his hands. He held the bow and weighed it. Sure enough, it felt exactly the same as in reality.
Shangguan Peining looked very proud and said again: "Try shooting the bow..."
Chai Yan raised the Moon Chasing Bow and pulled the bowstring. He felt the same as before.
"If you practice here, you can still shoot the bow freely even without taking the Martial God Beans!" Shangguan Peining explained.
Chai Yan smiled and said: "That's not bad. It also saves you the consumption of Martial God Beans."
Next, Shangguan Peining drifted to the center of the school field. Just as she stopped, a large number of feather arrows suddenly appeared on the ground below her. Judging from the number, it was the ones Chai Yan had taken from the warehouse.
of those.
Then, Shangguan Peining floated to the far end of the pile of arrows and set up an arrow target.
"Okay, let's start practicing!" Shangguan Peining said at the other end of the target.
Chai Yan didn't waste any time. He came to the arrow pile and picked up an arrow. Then, as Bai Qiu taught, he aimed his left shoulder at the target, stood with his feet shoulder-width apart, and then began to draw the bow and set the arrow.
...
"Whoosh!" The first arrow was shot out.
The result was the same as before, not hitting the target!
Shangguan Peining drifted back and shook his head: "It's so crooked, can you aim a little bit?"
Chai Yan was speechless. Who said he was a good person?
Next, Chai Yan shot ten arrows without stopping, but the result did not change. He still missed one arrow, but he was sure of one thing, that is, the feeling here was the same as in reality!
Seeing Chai Yan stop, Shangguan Peining urged: "What are you stopping for? You won't feel tired here, continue..."
Not tired? Chai Yan felt it, and sure enough he didn’t feel any soreness in his hands.
If it were normal times, Chai Yan would have asked why, but now he only had one idea in his mind: practice archery as soon as possible, and then pass the exam smoothly!
Shangguan Peining looked at the twenty or thirty arrows again. Although Chai Yan still missed the target once, there was still some progress, but it was too subtle.
"Oh, I can't stand it any longer..."
Shangguan Peining raised her hand to hold her forehead. She felt that shooting arrows with Chai Yan was a mental process.
Shangguan Peining muttered in a low voice, turned around and drifted into the distance: "Practice slowly, I'm going to meditate..."
The two bundles of feathered arrows totaled two hundred, and it took Chai Yan about half an hour to shoot them empty.
After one round of shooting, there is still nothing on the distant target. It was just as it was when it was first erected, and it is still as it is now.
Looking at Chai Yan again, he looked at the bare archery target and couldn't help but admire himself: "Chai Yan, Chai Yan, you are so good at shooting two hundred arrows and missing one! You can be considered the weirdest among the weird.
, admire, admire..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shangguan Peining's voice appeared in the sky: "Continue!"
Before he finished speaking, the two hundred arrows that had been shot appeared out of thin air at their original place.
Chai Yan was amazed and praised: "It's really efficient!"
On this day, except for lunch, Chai Yan returned to real time to eat, and spent almost the rest of the time practicing archery in the mind space.
Hard work pays off, after a long period of continuous practice, Chai Yan finally opened!
Although this arrow only hit the edge of the target, Chai Yan was so excited that he shouted and asked Shangguan Peining to come out and take a look.
Oddly enough, since Chai Yan opened, his hit rate has improved significantly.
First, one of fifty arrows hit the target, then thirty arrows hit the target, and then twenty arrows...
In the end, Chai Yan was able to hit the target once out of ten.
Just when Chai Yan was excited, Shangguan Peining suddenly brought Chai Yan back to the real world.
"Brother Chai, why are you still sleeping? It's time for dinner, Brother Chai?"
At this time, Xia Qi just returned to the house and was calling Chai Yan.
But after calling for a long time, Chai Yan didn't respond at all, which suddenly made Xia Qi suspicious.
Just when Xia Qi carefully approached Chai Yan to detect Chai Yan's breathing, Chai Yan suddenly opened his eyes, sat up suddenly and shouted: "Let's go eat!"
"Oh my god!"
Xia Qi screamed in fright, and at the same time he jumped out from behind, almost losing his balance and falling to the ground.
"Hahaha......"
Chai Yan looked at him and couldn't help laughing.
After a long while, Xia Qi covered her heart and regained her breath, looking like she wanted to be angry but couldn't get angry: "You...you, you, you...I said you are really...
.. People are scary and will scare people to death!”
