Chapter 546 - The Third Event (1/2)
”How much more difficult do you think the third event is compared to the first or second event? Or is it easier?” One of the spectators asked out loud.
”It should probably be harder than the previous two events, especially since you have to constantly run on that treadmill stage. I cannot imagine trying to do what they're doing right now. As expected of the best archers in the Spiritual Elites.”
”18 points!”
”15 points!”
”21 points!”
”18 points!”
Every five minutes a new participant would enter the treadmill stage to shoot the targets.
About an hour later, Meixiu was called onto the stage, and after spending a minute clearing her mind, she readied her bow and started moving on the stage.
Meixiu shot her bow 30 seconds after the whistle was blown while in a jogging motion..
After her first shot was released and the arrow hit the 300-meter target, Meixiu could feel the treadmill stage moving a little quicker, forcing her to jog faster as well.
Another half a minute later, she shot her second arrow.
Then her third.
And her fourth.
By the time she was on her last arrow, the treadmill stage was moving so quickly that it looked like Meixiu was sprinting for her life.
After taking a deep breath, Meixiu pulled the string with her eyes focused on the 300-meter target.
She'd managed to hit the 300-meter target all 4 times up to this point, but she has not managed to hit the red yet.
And on her last second, Meixiu released the arrow half a second before the instructor blew on the whistle.
Whoosh!
Thud!
The arrow hit the 300-meter target inside the red.
”18 points!”
After another hour, the third event came to an end, and Meixiu actually managed to increase her rank by 1 despite only hitting the red one time, reaching 6th place.
The instructor gathered all of the participants once again, but she didn't lead them to the last location just yet.
Instead, she explained to them about the event first.
”For the final event, you will be hunting rabbits within a certain area with your bow and arrow. However, you are not allowed to kill them! I repeat— you are not to kill them, or you will receive a penalty that is a deduction in points!”
”The fourth event won't start right away since we still need to prepare for it. There will be an hour break, but before I let you go on your break, allow me to explain to you the rules of this event.”
