Chapter 545 - The Second Event (1/2)
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Over a dozen arrows were released almost simultaneously, creating a spectacular scene.
A second later, these arrows attached themselves to the 500-meter target without a single one of them missing, and half of these arrows managed to hit the red.
However, these participants didn't have any time to look at the results and immediately began preparing for the second shot.
Three minutes passed in a flash, and the instructor blew the whistle, signaling the end of the first event.
The instructors then went to look at the targets and tallied the points.
A few minutes later, the results were in.
”Look! As expected, Jenny got first place with three perfect shots at the 500-meter target!”
”There are 6 people at second place, huh.. Not bad.”
”What's Me— Feng's position in the ranking?” Yuan asked Wang Ming, as he wasn't able to see the scoreboard with his divine sense.
”Feng? Let me see… She's ranked 15 out of 20. She got three hits on the 500-meter, but none of them had hit the red.” Wang Ming answered his question despite thinking that it was a weird question.
After all, can't he see the scores himself?
A few minutes later, the instructor gathered the participants in another location where the second event would take place, and there was a lot of tall grass in that place.
”For the second event, you will be shooting moving targets at around 100 meters. Do you see this tall field of grass? There are machines hidden inside that will be throwing apples into the air every second, and you will receive 1 point for every apple you hit in a time limit of 1 minute.”
”These machines will also throw small red marbles into the air, and if you hit these targets, you will receive 3 points instead.”
”There will be no practice for this event.”
Once the instructor explained the rules of the event, she called one of the participants onto the stage and gave her a minute to mentally prepare herself.
The whistle was blown a minute later, and the participant immediately raised her bow, shooting arrows at the apples that were being tossed into the air by the machines hidden within the grass.
It was unknown how many machines were hidden in the grass, but the apples would always be tossed at a different location.
And there would be a small marble the size of a pebble being thrown into the air after every few apples.
Although they were hard to hit, it wasn't impossible, and the participant managed to hit one of them during her minute-long session that exploded into tiny red fragments.
”31 points!” The instructor announced at the end of her session.
Once that participant left the stage, another one entered the stage.
”28 points!” The instructor announced a minute later.
”34 points!”
”33 points!”
”29 points!”
”51 points!”
”As expected of Xiao Mi, who is renowned for her fast shooting. Although she isn't good at long-range shooting, she's probably the best when it comes to rapid-firing with the bow, and her accuracy is very good as well.”
The spectators commented as they watched the participants shoot apples and marbles.
