312: It's OK, we've won.

“Hmph, if you're going to lie, at least be professional.”

Li Gang sneered, “Holding a greatsword like a door panel and claiming to be the Arrow God? Who would believe that?”

Qin Shilei’s expression sobered, and the Giant Que Sword in his hand suddenly transformed into a delicate short bow.

Whoosh!

Everyone only heard a rapid whooshing sound, followed by three arrows embedded in the wall behind Li Gang.

Li Gang’s hands trembled as he took off the sun hat he was wearing.

The perfectly intact sun hat now had three arrow holes.

And he was missing three tufts of hair on his head, one on the crown and two above the tips of his ears.

“Is my archery skill still impressive enough for everyone?”

Qin Shilei nocked three sharp arrows onto the short bow again, the arrowheads intentionally or unintentionally pointing at Li Gang.

Pointed at by Qin Shilei, Li Gang’s forehead was covered in pea-sized beads of sweat, yet he remained motionless, fearing he might displease Qin Shilei and get shot dead by an arrow.

“Excellent archery,” Luo Xiangyun praised, giving a thumbs-up. “Qin Dage, you should put your bow down first, lest you accidentally injure Li Gang.”

Everyone present was a master of the Silver Realm, and they naturally saw the extraordinary skill in Qin Shilei’s archery just now.

Hitting Li Gang’s hat from such a short distance was not difficult at all.

But being able to shoot off Li Gang’s hair without injuring him not only showed that Qin Shilei could precisely control the arrows but also that he possessed excellent psychological composure.

Furthermore, everyone clearly saw him take out a bow and arrow just now, yet they couldn't clearly see the trajectory of his shots.

This indicated that his speed was extremely fast.

At such high speed, he could still fire three arrows at once, with each arrow accurately hitting its target.

With such archery, it was no wonder he was respectfully called the Arrow God.

“Mr. Qin, if I may be so bold, how powerful is this bow of yours?”

Shen Feixue suddenly asked, “Because our archery competition isn't just about precision; it’s also about attack power.”

“No problem!”

Qin Shilei said indifferently, “I’ll just upgrade this short bow now.”

After speaking, he took out a red refined stone.

[Do you want to refresh the entry?]

[Refresh.]

Mutation (Green): Refining equipment with this refined stone may cause the equipment's attributes to change randomly.

Solid (Red): This is a solid stone. Weapons of red quality and below cannot destroy this stone.

Advancement (Purple): The quality of the refined stone evolves to purple, allowing red equipment to be refined into purple equipment.

He hadn't expected such a practical purple entry to appear.

He had refreshed the refined stones in his Qiankun Ring many times before, but he had never gotten any good entries.

Also, because the refined stones he had were only green and red, he felt that red equipment wouldn't offer much improvement for him, so the short bow had never been refined and upgraded.

After fixing the entry, Qin Shilei took out another red refined stone from his Qiankun Ring to upgrade the short bow to red first.

Then, he used this purple refined stone to upgrade the short bow again to a purple short bow.

The originally small short bow changed its appearance again, becoming a long bow as tall as his eyebrows.

Piercing Dragon Bow (Purple): Forged by a master craftsman over three years, this bow is said to have slain a dragon. Qi can be infused into the Piercing Dragon Bow to increase its power.

Additional entry, Tracking (Red): Within range, 100% hit rate.

Watching Qin Shilei refine an ordinary short bow into a mighty and domineering purple long bow in the blink of an eye, everyone was stunned.

“Qin Dage, you’re too extravagant.”

Luo Xiangyun said with a shocked expression, “But isn’t your main weapon that greatsword? Isn’t it too wasteful to use such precious refined stones on this short bow?”

Qin Shilei appeared nonchalant, “It’s fine, my greatsword is also purple equipment.”

........

This damn rich guy, he even has a purple weapon.

A thought of acting as a bandit flashed through everyone’s minds instantly.

“Although Qin Shilei’s archery is good, it’s still not quite enough to win the bet,” someone suddenly spoke.

“Exactly, even without him, I could win the archery event.”

Li Gang said indignantly again, “But so what? The bet is best of five rounds.

The archery competition is clearly a bait used by Eugene to lure us in, a point-scoring event specifically for us.

Whether he’s here or not, it has no impact on the bet at all.”

“So you’re also an archer,” Qin Shilei glanced at Li Gang. “What exactly does the bet include?”

“I…”

Li Gang originally wanted to say he was a divine archer, but remembering the archery skill Qin Shilei had just displayed, he could only sheepishly say,

“I am the most powerful archer in Aya City, a top expert of Silver Realm Seven Stars. In Aya City, no one can surpass me in archery, and Eugene knows this well.”

Luo Xiangyun interjected, “The bet includes archery, beast taming, individual combat, team combat, and hunting.”

“It’s settled!”

Upon hearing this, Qin Shilei said with a confident expression, “I knew it, in the apocalypse, everything should be related to strength.

If you insisted on competing in things like calculating equations, I wouldn’t be able to help.

As long as it’s these five items, I guarantee you’ll win.”

“It’s a competition of true individual strength, not the ability to brag. Our chances of winning are very small,” Li Gang said somewhat dejectedly.

“Relax,” Qin Shilei chuckled. “I’m going to make these arrogant ‘Ah San Ge’ (Indian brothers) unable to even think of fighting when they hear my name.”

Seeing that everyone still didn't believe him, he walked to the conference room door and waved his hand to summon Tank.

Little Qiang hadn't returned since leaving last night, and King Kong was too strong, so Qin Shilei felt it wasn't necessary and summoned the relatively weaker Tank.

The appearance of the mighty Tank immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone instantly recalled the Golden Realm Mammoth Giant Elephant they had encountered not long ago, and a feeling of being unable to resist unconsciously arose in their hearts.

Shen Feixue composed herself. “Mr. Qin, what is the strength of your Mammoth Giant Elephant?”

Qin Shilei replied, “It just leveled up. It’s now Silver Realm Eight Stars. Compared to those Silver Realm Nine Stars mutated beasts, it’s not inferior at all.”

“Then the archery and beast taming events are secure. As long as I take down Eugene, we can win the competition.”

Shen Feixue’s eyes flashed with a determined gaze.

“Sect Master,” Li Gang spoke again, “Your Frost Giant Wolf was already guaranteed to win the beast taming event. What difference does he make?”

“Li Gang, don’t be too arrogant,” Shen Feixue lectured. “Although my Frost Giant Wolf is Silver Realm Nine Stars, one level higher than Eugene’s Twin-Headed Demon Wolf, the beast taming competition is a three-person group relay battle. If his subordinates manage to drag down my Frost Giant Wolf by trading injuries, then it might not be able to defeat his pet.”

Luo Xiangyun also interjected, “Exactly. Our pets are only Silver Realm Three or Four Stars, with no chance of winning against Eugene’s subordinates.

Now with Qin Dage’s Mammoth Giant Elephant, we’re sure to win this event.”

Qin Shilei really wanted to say, “You don’t need to calculate back and forth, just let me fight alone.”

However, he had already told them his name, and they hadn't reacted much. Saying it like that now would be too high-profile.

Everything would be clear during tomorrow's competition.
