Chapter 536 - Avoiding And Attacking Simultaneously (1/2)
”This is the outdoor training area.” The instructor said to Meixiu.
Meixiu looked around, and she could see disciples practicing things other than archery there, but they were very far in the distance so they don't disturb each other.
She then looked at the disciples practicing archery, and they were running around doing complicated maneuvers while shooting their bow at the same time.
”If you thought archery was as simple as standing still and shooting your targets, you are gravely mistaken.” The instructor suddenly said, and she continued, ”As an archer, you must not only be precise but also nimble so that you don't get caught in the enemies' attacks.”
”Watch this.”
The instructor then called out to one of the disciples practicing and said, ”Disciple Jing! We're going to do a quick practice!”
”Yes, instructor!”
The instructor then approached the disciple and stood a few meters away from her, who still had a bow in her hands..
”Whenever you're ready.” The instructor said to her.
The disciple then took on an offensive pose and stared at the instructor with an intensive gaze.
The next second, the instructor leaped forward and attacked the disciple, but the disciple quickly reacted.
The instructor continued to attack the disciple relentlessly, but the disciple kept on dodging the attacks, and she would even sometimes use her bow to shoot an arrow at the target in the distance!
The disciple was dodging and attacking at the same time!
Their display left a deep impression on Meixiu, who was immediately in awe.
A few minutes later, the instructor stopped attacking the disciple and said to her, ”Good job.”
”Thank you, instructor.” The disciple bowed to her.
The instructor then returned to Meixiu's side and said to her, ”Did you see that? That's what archery looks like once you're proficient enough.”
”Those who say archers are useless once their opponents close in on them are all worth less than shit. As that disciple had just demonstrated, one can defend themself and attack simultaneously if they're skilled enough.”
”However, to do that kind of thing requires intensive training and good movement. Your body must react instantaneously, and your body must keep up with your body's reaction, or you will only stumble and fall.”
”If you intend on learning archery seriously, come here every day and I will drill everything I know into you. I don't care if you're Player Yuan's caretaker. Even if you're Player Yuan himself, I will not go easy on you.” The instructor said to her.
Meixiu nodded.
Although the instructor couldn't see it due to the mask, there was a serious and passionate expression on her face.
Fortunately for her, she'd already learned a movement technique inside Cultivation Online. If she could learn this technique in the real world just like Yuan did with his movement technique, perhaps she could integrate it with her archery skills.
Meanwhile, inside the building on the first floor, Yuan was covered in sweat from head to toe as he swung the wooden sword in his arms thousands of times without stopping.
