Chapter 549 - Brother Yuan (1/2)

With a little more than 5 minutes left, Meixiu left the field after hitting every single bell off the rabbits, earning her a total of 40 points, and she instantly shot up to first place in the competition.

The spectators exploded with cheering after they witnessed the spectacular display.

Meanwhile, the other participants were left speechless.

Half of them had given up after their first shot, and the other half that hasn't entered the field had planned on giving up, but after witnessing Meixiu's display, they began feeling ashamed of themselves for giving up so easily.

Therefore, the following participants to enter the field after Meixiu would go on to shoot all of the arrows in her quiver regardless if they'd hit a rabbit or not.

In the end, most of them would go on to hit at least 7 seven bells.

However, only two of them had managed to avoid injuring the rabbits.

Once all of the participants went into the field, the instructor blew the whistle, signaling the end of the competition..

At the end of the competition, the participants were gathered for the results.

”Congratulations to Disciple Xiao Mi for achieving first place! You may speak with Grand Elder Hong afterward to discuss your reward!” The instructor announced the winner of the competition.

Although Meixiu had taken first place with her performance, it was only temporary, and she ended up in the 2nd place with first place ahead by only 5 points.

If Meixiu hadn't struck a rabbit that cost her 10 points, she would've won the competition.

However, Meixiu was neither upset nor bitter since she never expected to win the competition, and she was satisfied with the experience she gained throughout the competition that she considered more of a training of sorts.

Furthermore, getting second place was already well above her expectations.

”Good job getting second place,” Yuan said to Meixiu after she returned.

”Thank you.”

”I was told that you only recently learned how to use the bow. Is that true?” Wang Ming asked her, as he still couldn't truly believe it.

”Yes,” Meixiu confirmed, leaving him speechless.

”Regardless, that was an amazing performance. I would have never known that you were a beginner unless someone told me. Actually, you're already an expert.” Senior Wang said.

”Hahaha! Miss Feng, even though you didn't win the competition, your boldness during the last event was very impressive. I even dare say that without your performance, the other participants wouldn't have dared to shoot more than one arrow,” said Senior Hong.

And he continued, ”Therefore, I am going to craft you a bow as well.”

”Really?” Meixiu was pleasantly surprised by Senior Hong's words.

”Yes. Consider this a gift from me for entertaining us.” Senior Hong laughed.

The other participants looked at Meixiu with envious gazes. If they didn't give up and had figured out the rabbits' movements earlier, they could've also gotten a bow from Senior Hong.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the Jaded Garden, Lady Chu and one of the gate guards walked around asking the people if they knew where Yuan was located, and to their surprise, the first person they encountered knew his location.

”Player Yuan? He should be at the archery competition at the moment.”
