314: Arrow God

“Shen Feixue, I can’t find any information about that woman. Her level is at least Platinum Seven Stars or above.”

A petite girl said with a frown.

Deng Wan'er, Platinum Three Stars, has a probing skill that can detect information about targets no more than three levels higher than her.

However, at this moment, she couldn’t get any information about the opponent.

“That woman is exactly Platinum Seven Stars. She possesses various combat skills and abilities such as Rapid, Precise Strike, Multiple Arrows, and Explosive Arrow. Her strength is indeed impressive.”

Qin Shilei interjected.

Although everyone was a little surprised that Qin Shilei could see through the woman’s information, they didn't question him.

Shen Feixue turned to Li Gang and asked, “Do you have the confidence to defeat her?”

Li Gang said confidently, “Although she is one level higher than me, we are competing in archery now. When it comes to archery, I have never been convinced by anyone.”

However, as he spoke, he suddenly caught sight of Qin Shilei beside him, and immediately couldn't continue speaking.

At this moment, Eugene also walked over.

He was an uncle in his thirties, quite muscular, with a short beard on his face.

“Miss Shen, you should just obediently become my City Lord’s wife.”

Shen Feixue said with a cold face, “Dream on! However, your Aya City will have half of its name as Shen from now on.”

“Hehe.” Eugene sneered, “If you admit defeat now, I will still give you, my future City Lord’s wife, some face.

Once we compete, don’t blame me for directly crushing you.

Your Great Xia people will lose all face in the entire Aya City.”

“Hmph!” Shen Feixue snorted coldly, “Who is the clown? We’ll only know after the competition. Let’s begin.”

The archery competition was divided into two parts: rapid-fire and sniping.

The first to appear was Bonnie, the blonde beauty beside Eugene.

She stood directly in a corner of the square, drawing her bow and looking up at the sky at a thirty-degree angle.

“Start!”

Immediately, countless fist-sized wooden balls shot out from a tall building three to four hundred meters away.

The propulsion force combined with gravity made those wooden balls smash towards Bonnie like solid cannonballs.

These wooden balls were made from hard mutated trees, making them not only incredibly hard but also very heavy.

Competitors needed to hit or destroy as many wooden balls as possible, while also avoiding being hit by them.

This was to simulate a scenario where flying beasts attacked.

According to Eugene, if Shen Feixue wanted to be the Deputy City Lord, she needed to have the corresponding strength to deal with the biggest threat Aya City would face in the future—flying beasts from the sky.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!”

A series of rapid sounds of arrows piercing the air rang out, and countless sharp arrows shot out from Bonnie’s hands like locusts.

Those wooden balls were shot through and sent flying before they even landed on the ground.

As time passed, more and more wooden balls were launched.

Although Bonnie’s firing speed was astonishing, there were simply too many wooden balls, and it seemed she couldn’t intercept all of them.

Suddenly, a loud bang sounded, and all the falling wooden balls were ignited and exploded by bursting fireballs.

As explosive arrows were fired one after another, continuous explosions echoed in the air.

Not a single wooden ball fell, let alone hit Bonnie.

Then, wooden balls were also launched from another direction.

Even with Bonnie’s area-of-effect explosive arrows, it was inevitable that a few scattered wooden balls would fall to the ground intact.

“Two thousand wooden balls, 1939 shot through and exploded, 61 missed, archer hit by wooden balls is zero, score 1939.”

The referee quickly announced the final score.

“Li Gang, are you still confident?” Shen Feixue turned to Li Gang and asked.

“...I’ll do my best.”

Li Gang’s face was grim; his previous confidence had completely vanished, and he stammered out only three very unconfident words.

After speaking, he took his longbow and also entered the square.

At first, when the wooden balls were not so dense, Li Gang handled them quite well.

However, as the wooden balls increased, he became somewhat overwhelmed, and even with his combat skill, Chain Arrows, he couldn't intercept all of them.

“Two thousand wooden balls, 1837 shot through and exploded, 163 missed, archer hit by wooden balls is 2, score 1817.”

Li Gang walked back dejectedly, not daring to look Luo Xiangyun and the others in the eye.

“The difference is quite large.”

Eugene walked over, head held high, like a victor, “It seems you are destined to be my City Lord’s wife.”

Shen Feixue said with a cold face, “The competition is not over yet. You’re celebrating too early.”

“Haha.” Eugene laughed loudly, “Li Gang is the best archer among you. Since he has already lost, who else among you can fight?”

“What a devious guy. When he made the wager, he said he would choose an area we were good at to give us a win, but I didn’t expect him to hide such an archery master.”

Luo Xiangyun said angrily from the side.

Shen Feixue turned to Qin Shilei and asked in a low voice, “Mr. Qin, do you have any area-of-effect combat skills similar to Explosive Arrow?”

“No.” As everyone’s faces changed dramatically, Qin Shilei said calmly, “It’s just shooting wooden balls. No combat skills are needed. A flat shot is enough.”

“Pfft!”

Bonnie, who was beside Eugene, clearly heard Qin Shilei’s words and couldn’t help but sneer, “Shen Feixue, you’re not going to send him to waste everyone’s time, are you? In the latter half, hundreds of wooden balls will be launched per second. Can he really shoot hundreds of arrows per second?”

Eugene also said mockingly, “Bonnie, since they are willing to make fools of themselves, why should we worry?”

The people around him also interjected, “We’ve opened a live stream. Soon, 800,000 people in Aya City will see how this pretty boy gets smashed into a pig’s head by wooden balls.”

Eugene even specifically reminded him again, “I heard that your Great Xia people value promises the most. Don’t use combat skills later.”

Qin Shilei did not answer the other party and walked directly into a corner of the square.

“Start!”

Wooden balls rained down from the sky.

Qin Shilei drew his bow and arrow, effortlessly shooting through and sending flying each wooden ball.

More and more wooden balls appeared, but Qin Shilei consistently fired sharp arrows with flat shots, accurately hitting every single wooden ball.

Shen Feixue and the others showed expressions of joy.

Eugene and the others, however, frowned.

Bonnie scoffed, “As long as he doesn't use combat skills, when wooden balls are launched from both sides simultaneously, he definitely won’t be able to handle it.”

Just then, wooden balls also began to be launched simultaneously from the other side, and the number doubled.

Immediately, hundreds of wooden balls simultaneously smashed towards Qin Shilei.

Qin Shilei’s right hand blurred into a phantom, rapidly firing a volley of arrows.

“The speed is indeed good.” Bonnie said disdainfully, “But to hit every wooden ball with that speed is wishful thinking!”

However, her words had just fallen.

She found that almost every arrow in the air was strung with three or four wooden balls.

Although Qin Shilei was a Golden Realm powerhouse, he still couldn’t shoot more than a hundred arrows per second.

But who said an arrow could only hit one wooden ball?

Shen Feixue chuckled, “In ancient times, there was the saying of ‘killing two birds with one stone.’ I never thought I would witness the incredible skill of ‘killing multiple birds with one arrow’ countless times today.”

Everyone was completely stunned by Qin Shilei’s archery skills.

Hitting two targets simultaneously once or twice was something Li Gang and Bonnie could also do.

But Qin Shilei did it countless times, hitting multiple targets simultaneously. Was this truly something a human could achieve?

“He is truly the Arrow God! I am convinced!” Li Gang said from the bottom of his heart.

“Arrow God!”

“Arrow God!”

“Arrow God!”

Hundreds of elites behind Shen Feixue shouted in unison.
