Chapter Seventy-Seven: Flowing Clouds and Swallow Arrows

Thirty miles away from the greedy wolf city, the mountains are undulating.

Each mountain is about 500 meters apart, and at this moment, there is a dummy target erected on the top of each mountain.

There are a total of eighteen mountains, distributed in a circle, and on the middle of the mountain, Gu Chen held a longbow and pulled the bowstring into a full moon shape according to the instructions of Huang Pingzhang beside him.

"This is where you train for the next two weeks. ”

"If you want your archery attainments to be strong enough to arouse the interest of the Heavenly Court examiners, you must at least practice the old man's Liuyun Rank Yan Archery to the realm of Xiaocheng. ”

Huang Pingzhang said, "Now, let the old man take a look at your archery skills first." ”

Gu Chen nodded, his gaze swept over the farthest mountain, aiming at the dummy target at the top of the mountain.

Drawing a bow, shooting an arrow, his movements were not smooth.

Whoosh –

The shadow of the arrow broke through the air, as fast as thunder.

With Gu Chen's strong arm strength, even if he was several miles apart, when the stray arrow reached the target mountain, the speed did not decrease at all.

However, it flew dozens of meters away from the dummy's target and finally disappeared.

Seeing this, Huang Pingzhang couldn't help but cover his face.

That's too much!

The archer among mortals can still penetrate Yang in a hundred steps, but Gu Chen's archery skills are not even as good as mortals, and when he looks at that action, he knows that he is a pure novice!

His arm strength is full, and if he practices well, he is estimated to have a very long range, but archery is about accuracy, and if he is not allowed, what is the use of shooting far?

Originally, it took him two weeks to practice archery, and he felt that it was unreliable, but seeing Gu Chen's performance, he completely rejected this possibility.

"Ahem, I'll try again. ”

Gu Chen was slightly embarrassed, and he also knew that he was ridiculously bad, and he was familiar with the bow and arrow again.

"Remember, it's important to have physical coordination when drawing a bow, and that's the hardest part of archery to take into account many external factors, such as wind direction. ”

Huang Pingzhang taught carefully, corrected Gu Chen's every move, and instilled his experience without reservation.

Gu Chen listened carefully and followed the gourd.

Half a day passed.

Gu Chen shot thirty arrows in a row, only two of which hit the target, and one of the arrows was still crooked.

Huang Pingzhang was full of enthusiasm from the beginning, and became a little excited.

"Chen Daoyou, you can continue to practice here. In the future, the old man will come to guide you for an hour every day, and you will practice more by yourself the rest of the time. ”

"This is the secret book of Liuyun Yan Archery, you can take it and see it yourself. ”

Huang Pingzhang found an excuse to leave, while Gu Chen continued to stay and cultivate.

After he left, Gu Chen pondered with his heart and did not rest at all.

When Huang Pingzhang came over the next day, Gu Chen, who had all the essentials of Liuyun Yan archery, was already familiar with it, and he drew a bow and shot arrows like an arm.

The only regret is that it was never approved.

In front of Huang Pingzhang, Gu Chen missed three arrows in succession.

"Chen Daoyou, archery is a water mill kung fu to practice well, and now it is difficult for it to help you. ”

Huang Pingzhang said euphemistically.

This day has proved that Gu Chen has no talent in archery, instead of wasting time on this, it is better to spend it elsewhere, which may be more helpful for his assessment.

"Let me try again. ”

Gu Chen pondered, picked up the bow again, and aimed at the farthest mountain.

There, about five miles apart.

The mountain wind is fierce, and the farther away you are, the more difficult it is for the arrow to hit the target.

Huang Pingzhang was silent.

Gu Chen took a deep breath.

Through this day's practice, he has found the feeling of archery.

In fact, he had not deliberately aimed at the arrow target before, but more according to the Liuyun Rank Yan Archery Technique, he developed the habit of drawing the bow and adjusted his body to the best archery posture.

At this moment, his mind is highly concentrated, and he no longer needs to be distracted by the coordination of his body and the bow and arrow, because he is already commanding like an arm.

With the concentration of his mind, Gu Chen's pupils turned purple.

For the first time in a day, he used the purple pupil.

In the past few months, he has persistently absorbed the purple qi from the east every morning, and this magical pupil technique has reached a high level.

Under the purple pupil, everything on the top of the mountain five miles away was clearly visible, which was very different from the previous vision.

A fine mark on the dummy's arrow target, a drop of morning dew on its brow, became clearly visible in his eyes.

The mountain wind was howling, and the flow of air was clear in his eyes.

At this moment, he urged his eyes with all his strength to capture the void.

Things that used to be difficult have suddenly become easier.

Boom!

Pull the bow and shoot the arrow in one go, without the slightest blockage, and another arrow shadow pierces the sky!

Huang Pingzhang nodded secretly, Gu Chen had studied extremely hard this day, and it could be seen from this standard posture.

It's a pity that his biggest problem is that he doesn't have the sense of arrows, and he can't hit the target.

Whoosh –

The arrows slashed through the sky, reaching high into the air, and then swooping down like eagles.

"Huh?"

He was surprised, this time, it seemed that the position was not offset!

Burst!

didn't give him time to think, the center of the dummy's eyebrows, the arrows passed by consistently, and the dew on his head splashed!

Five miles away, the mountain wind was fierce, but an arrow shot through the eyebrows!

"Is it a coincidence?"

Huang Pingzhang gasped, guessing like this, he saw Gu Chen shooting arrows one after another.

He turned his body around frequently, put the arrow on the bowstring, aimed at the mountain, and the bow pulled the full moon like a rainbow.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Four arrows in a row, all of them hit the target of the dummy, and three of them shot through the head!

"It's not a coincidence, this kid ......"

Huang Pingzhang was so shocked that he couldn't speak, he couldn't understand how Gu Chen's archery skills could deviate so much in just a few moments?

"Huang Daoyou, did you pass your performance just now?"

Gu Chen turned around and asked, a little unsatisfactory between his eyebrows.

With the strong assistance of the purple pole pupil, he should have shot four arrows through his head just now, but he was inexperienced, and one arrow made a mistake.

"Qualified, barely qualified. ”

Huang Pingzhang came back to his senses and smiled awkwardly.

He was afraid that Gu Chen would be proud and didn't dare to praise him, but in fact, it took him three full years to practice to Gu Chen's level.

And Gu Chen did it in just one day, and the contrast between before and after was amazing, it was incredible.

"Could it be that this kid is an archery genius? It seems that in two weeks, it is really possible to achieve a small degree of archery......"

He said secretly, inexplicably looking forward to it.

Every day after that, Gu Chen practiced archery hard and never tired of it.

In three days, he was able to accurately hit the bullseye of every mountain with every arrow alone.

In five days, he released four arrows at one time, and he was able to hit the target.

As the week passed, his target was on the passing birds;

Ten days passed, and even a fly ten miles away could not escape his arrow!

He broke more than a dozen bows and shot tens of thousands of arrows, preoccupied and distracted.

Two weeks went by in the blink of an eye.

The day of the Heavenly Court assessment has arrived!
