Having reached this point, Zhao Feng provoked the anger of the crowd, and even if he had a hundred mouths, he could not defend himself. It would be better to agree straightforwardly.
"Good! You have some backbone."
Zhao Yu was overjoyed; his plan had succeeded so easily.
He originally thought that Zhao Feng would try to evade the challenge and that they would need to engage in a struggle, but he did not expect the other party to agree so readily.
Upon reflection, if Zhao Feng lost the archery contest and apologized afterward, it would still be a way to save face.
"Yufei, why don't you be the judge and act as a witness?"
Zhao Yu said with a smile to Zhao Yufei.
In terms of talent and cultivation, Zhao Yufei was among the best in the group, and she indeed had the qualifications.
"Alright."
Zhao Yufei nodded but did not show much interest.
In her view, Zhao Yu was one of the top three archers in the clan, and Zhao Feng had no chance of defeating him.
Soon, a space was cleared in the archery field.
Zhao Yu and Zhao Feng each held a bow and stood at the center of the field.
Dozens of clan members gathered around to watch the spectacle.
"Since Yufei is here today, Zhao Yu will definitely bring out his best skills."
Some of the archers were full of anticipation.
Everyone felt that the outcome of this contest was a foregone conclusion.
This was less of an archery contest and more of a personal performance by Zhao Yu.
"Bring some targets!"
Zhao Yu called a few young men to bring four archery targets.
Soon, the four targets were lined up in a straight line.
Each target was ten meters apart.
"What is he doing...?"
Zhao Feng was greatly puzzled.
He had not delved much into archery and had only started practicing today.
"Since so many people are here to watch, I will demonstrate my unique skill, the 'Long Eagle Arrow Stream.'"
Zhao Yu smiled.
The Long Eagle Arrow Stream?
The surrounding clan members were excited and eager.
Even Zhao Yufei showed a hint of interest.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Zhao Yu approached the four targets.
Since the four targets were in a straight line, according to normal perspective and archery skills, only the first target could be hit.
Zhao Yu took a deep breath and drew four arrows from his quiver in one go.
Is he going to...
Everyone was shocked.
At that moment, Zhao Yu's long bow was almost fully drawn, pointing diagonally upward.
The four arrows were placed on the bowstring at once.
Sigh!
Many people drew in a sharp breath.
In the next instant,
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh—
The four arrows shot through the air, drawing four sharp arcs in the sky, flying high, and then diving down like eagles.
Thud! Thud! Thud!...
Almost simultaneously, the four arrows hit the red centers of the four targets with perfect accuracy.
Heaven!
The crowd was stunned, shouting in amazement.
"Originally, these arrows did not follow a straight path but an arc. They flew to the sky, were affected by gravity, and fell to hit the targets..."
Zhao Feng's left eye clearly saw the trajectories of the four arrows.
The final result left him deeply shocked.
The Long Eagle Arrow Stream!
The crowd was shaken, unable to calm down for a long time.
"What exquisite archery!"
Zhao Yufei's beautiful eyes showed surprise.
"Forgive me for showing off."
Zhao Yu secretly rejoiced, noticing Zhao Yufei's reaction.
"Boy! It's your turn!"
After Zhao Yu's demonstration, the crowd's attention turned to Zhao Feng, their eyes filled with mockery and pity.
No one believed that Zhao Feng's archery skills could match Zhao Yu's.
"Hmm, let me think..."
Zhao Feng picked up the bow and arrow, and the contents and techniques of the "Consecutive Meteor Arrow" technique merged into his mind.
He quickly concluded that if he wanted to surpass Zhao Yu with archery, he would need a few days to fully master the "Consecutive Meteor Arrow" technique.
Since that was the case, he could not win Zhao Yu in a conventional way.
Zhao Feng's gaze swept across the sky and the archery field, and he soon made a decision.
"Alright, I'm starting."
Zhao Feng slowly drew an arrow from his quiver.
"The first arrow."
He drew the bowstring and shot it into the air carelessly.
What is he doing...
Everyone was puzzled.
But in the next moment, a sharp scream came from the sky.
Thud!
A dark shadow fell from the sky.
The crowd looked closely and was shocked to see a large goose.
"This boy's archery skills are not bad; he can easily shoot down flying birds in the sky."
"Trivial skills."
Zhao Yu showed disdain.
Indeed, Zhao Feng's performance was good, but it was far from matching Zhao Yu's "Long Eagle Arrow Stream."
Snap! Snap!
Zhao Feng shot two more arrows in quick succession...
Each arrow successfully killed a sparrow or a yellowthroat.
"Boy! Don't embarrass yourself here; admit defeat and apologize quickly."
An archer was impatient.
"Hmm, my hands feel good now."
Zhao Feng ignored the comment. Through the previous practice, he found his rhythm.
He then took a deep breath, fully activating his left eye to capture the void.
At that moment, his left eye faintly glowed with a pale green light.
Snap! Whoosh—
Another arrow shot through the air, fast as lightning.
Thud!
Another dark shadow fell from the sky.
Zhao Yu sneered but said nothing.
However, soon, someone shouted in surprise.
"Heaven! This arrow shot down two sparrows at once."
An archer exclaimed.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yu looked closely and indeed saw that the arrow had pierced through two sparrows.
One arrow, two birds!
Many people were amazed and called out.
Zhao Yu's heart skipped a beat, not expecting Zhao Feng to have such advanced archery skills.
One arrow, two birds, was a legendary archery technique that ordinary archers could not achieve.
Even Zhao Yu had little confidence in doing it; it depended on luck.
"The sparrows are small, far apart, and flying in the air, making them moving targets. Shooting down two sparrows with one arrow is no less impressive than Zhao Yu's 'Long Eagle Arrow Stream.'"
An archer commented.
"This is just an appetizer."
Zhao Feng smiled calmly.
Upon hearing this, the crowd was shocked.
Could Zhao Feng have even more advanced archery skills?
Zhao Feng did not explain but slowly drew his bow and aimed at a target fifty meters away.
What does this mean?
The crowd was confused again.
Fifty meters was a hundred steps.
Shooting a target at a hundred steps, even hitting the red center, was not as impressive as the Long Eagle Arrow Stream or one arrow, two birds.
Snap! Whoosh!
Zhao Feng shot an arrow, which pierced the void and hit the target fifty meters away.
Thud!
The target shook slightly, but the arrow did not hit the red center, landing near the edge.
Zhao Feng wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ha ha ha, that arrow almost missed the target..."
Some of the younger clan members laughed out loud.
Zhao Yu secretly rejoiced.
Did Zhao Feng miss the target?
Many people were puzzled and looked at Zhao Feng, who remained calm.
As the witness, Zhao Yufei showed a questioning look.
She felt that Zhao Feng's shot was not that simple.
"Go and check it out."
Zhao Feng said confidently.
The crowd approached the target.
On the edge of the target, an arrow was embedded, still trembling slightly.
Zhao Feng asked an archer to pull out the arrow.
Everyone watched the arrow closely.
Soon, the arrow was pulled out!
At the tip of the arrow, there was a small black corpse, with traces of blood visible...
What is this!
Someone was stunned.
"Heaven... it's a fly! A fly!"
A clan member shouted in shock.
What!
Many archers in the field, their eyes bulging, were filled with shock.
"Heaven! Shooting a fly from a hundred steps away, how did he do it?"
"From a hundred steps away, it's already very difficult to see a fly, let alone a fly flying erratically in the air..."
The archery field was in an uproar.
"This... this is impossible!"
Zhao Yu's face turned pale, staring at the fly's corpse, feeling dazed.
If it were one arrow, two birds, he might have had a chance with good luck, but shooting a tiny fly from a hundred steps away was something he could never do.
A fly was too small, and from a hundred steps away, an ordinary person could not see it clearly.
The archery contest quickly came to a conclusion.
The winner was clear.
"Winner of this archery contest: Zhao Feng."
Zhao Yuhuan recovered from her shock and looked at Zhao Feng with a complex expression.
This was the first time she had looked at Zhao Feng directly. The young man before her was composed and calm, with a faint smile on his lips, exuding a charm far beyond his years...
"Can I leave now?"
Zhao Feng walked out on his own.
The people nearby automatically made way for him.
Most of the clan members in the archery field practiced archery. Zhao Feng's archery skills had impressed them, and even Zhao Yu had nothing to say.
As he walked through the crowd and out of the archery field, Zhao Feng let out a long breath. Although today's archery contest had some twists, he had gained a lot.
Just as Zhao Feng left the archery field,
"Ha ha ha... Zhao Feng, I finally found you!"
A loud, unrestrained laugh echoed.
As the voice faded, three young men approached, blocking Zhao Feng's path.
The leader, a black-clothed youth with thick eyebrows and fierce eyes, wore a triumphant smile.
It was Zhao Kun!
"Brat, I lost to you last time by mistake. This time, I will make you lose with no regrets and beg for mercy on your knees."
Zhao Kun licked his lips, a cruel glint in his eyes.
This time, he came to defeat Zhao Feng honorably and to humiliate and teach him a lesson.
All because he had suffered a great humiliation from being defeated by Zhao Feng last time...
Zhao Feng noticed that Zhao Kun had brought two accomplices, both at the second level of martial arts, who were looking around to prevent him from escaping, clearly with ill intentions.
"Yuhuan, that Zhao Feng seems to be in trouble."
A girl beside Zhao Yuhuan said.
At this moment, many people in the archery field noticed the unusual situation.
Zhao Yu, who had lost the archery contest earlier, showed a hint of schadenfreude...
However, in the face of trouble, Zhao Feng was not afraid and said straightforwardly, "Go ahead."
