22: Chapter 22 The Genius An Ke, Slapped in the Face!!

"God! Are you trying to kill me with laughter?"

"Shooting five times in a row and missing the target every single time, that's a skill in itself!"

"And a very refined one at that!"

"If I let my grandma shoot, she'd probably hit the target twice."

"The Dragon Country Kid has absolutely zero talent for shooting!"

"Hahaha! I told you, making a bow and arrow is useless if you can't shoot."

"It's a pure waste of time."

"Serves him right! Hahaha!"

"..."

The Foreigners were in high spirits, feeling as though they had reclaimed their dignity.

Finally, there was something An Ke wasn't good at.

For the Foreigners, this was something worth celebrating.

They weren't worried about An Ke learning anything in a short amount of time.

An Ke's misses were severe; just picking up the arrows took a long time.

However, just as this thought occurred to the Foreigners...

In the live broadcast, The monkeys helped An Ke retrieve the arrows that had fallen far away.

For The monkeys, who were experts at leaping and jumping, this distance was nothing.

Furthermore, with so many monkeys, each one only needed to pick up one arrow.

After picking them up, all the arrows were handed over to Little Scar.

Then Little Scar handed them to An Ke, once again seeking credit.

It wanted An Ke to praise it.

An Ke didn't know whether to laugh or cry; he vigorously rubbed Little Scar's head.

"Really now, did you actually pick these up?"

Little Scar didn't look embarrassed at all, still standing tall and waiting for praise.

An Ke smiled and gave Little Scar his praise.

The Monkey troop had a strict hierarchy; if An Ke praised the other monkeys...

...it might actually harm them instead.

Despite how docile Little Scar, the Monkey King, appeared in front of him...

...in reality, anyone who could become a Monkey King was definitely no simple character.

Having received praise, Little Scar began dancing and jumping for joy again.

Though that dance was something humans couldn't understand.

An Ke took the arrows, feeling quite good.

If he had to pick up the arrows himself, his efficiency would be greatly reduced.

But with The monkeys helping, his efficiency increased significantly.

Feeling his [Shooting Proficiency] constantly rising...

An Ke nodded with satisfaction. Not bad, not bad!

With The monkeys' help, he might be able to finish his shooting practice today.

It didn't need to be professional; he just needed a 70% to 80% certainty of hitting the target accurately.

In the live broadcast room, the Foreigners were dumbfounded once again, shouting that it was impossible.

"My God! Can someone tell me what's going on?"

"Why are these monkeys so obedient?"

"Did this Dragon Country Kid use some kind of magic?"

The Sun Never Sets country exclaimed, "It must be witchcraft!"

"I knew Dragon Country people knew such evil tricks."

During the Industrial Revolution, many people in the Sun Never Sets country didn't dare provoke the Dragon Country immigrants.

Rumor had it that Dragon Country people practiced terrifying witchcraft.

"Hilarious! That's right! We Dragon Country people not only know Kung Fu but also witchcraft."

"We're especially good at cursing."

"You Foreigners better be careful."

The Dragon Country people were amused by the Foreigners' words.

However, their internal confusion also deepened; they also really wanted to know why An Ke could tame The monkeys.

It made no sense at all!

They even began to wonder if An Ke really knew magic.

Did he have a Beast Taming skill?

In the program, Kang Hui, Liu Yifei, and Sa Beining looked at Professor Wu once again.

This time, Professor Wu didn't even look at them, turning his head away.

Don't ask me; I don't know what's going on with something this ridiculous.

In the following broadcast, An Ke did only one thing: practice shooting.

With The monkeys acting as "caddies"—no, arrow boys—An Ke's efficiency was very high.

His Shooting Proficiency grew at a rapid pace.

[Shooting Proficiency +5...]

[Shooting Proficiency +5...]

[Shooting Level upgraded to Lv.2!]

[Shooting Level upgraded to Lv.3!]

It's worth mentioning that the terrifying thing about An Ke's golden finger was...

...that as his proficiency increased, even if An Ke shot casually...

...his physical instincts would make adjustments, allowing him to shoot in the most perfect posture.

An Ke's shooting went from hitting the ground, missing wide, shooting high, and shooting low, to casually hitting the tree.

He could hit wherever he wanted.

Just then, a snow-white rabbit appeared fifty meters away from An Ke.

The rabbit hopped around, alert to its surroundings.

However, it was completely unaware that it had been targeted by An Ke fifty meters away.

"Is this because it knows fixed targets are no challenge for me, so it's giving me a moving target?"

An Ke smiled, then drew the bow and aimed.

With the help of his proficiency, his posture was perfect.

With a "whoosh"...

...the arrow was released.

The white rabbit fifty meters away was still stopping and starting, alert to its surroundings.

However, before it could react, it was struck by the arrow and died instantly.

Until the moment it died, it didn't know why it was dying.

Or how it died; everything happened too suddenly.

The surrounding Monkey troop erupted in a chorus of screeches, seemingly in shock.

They all stared with wide eyes, looking completely incredulous.

For creatures like them...

...An Ke's methods just now were like those of a god.

The prey died without him even getting close.

It was simply too absurd.

The monkeys seemed to revere An Ke as a god, howling around him to celebrate his catch and his mastery of shooting.

Not only that, Little Scar didn't forget to have its subordinates retrieve An Ke's rabbit.

And personally delivered it to An Ke's hands.

Compared to The monkeys' semi-comprehending cries, the people in the live broadcast room were the ones truly shocked.

"Are you kidding me!?"

"My Lord! What am I seeing?"

"The Dragon Country Kid shot a rabbit fifty meters away?"

"Is there something wrong with my eyes? Or am I hallucinating?"

"..."

They all knew what An Ke's initial archery skills were like.

Everyone had witnessed it with their own eyes.

But now he's become this badass?

Not only can he hit the target with casual shots, but he can also kill a rabbit fifty meters away in one shot?

The Foreigners were truly about to have a breakdown.

The harder they had laughed earlier, the more humiliated they felt now.

"Is this the legendary genius?"

"Is he cheating?"

"Going from knowing nothing to being this badass in just half an hour?"

"sibal! I feel like we've definitely been tricked."

"This Dragon Country Kid must have known how to shoot from the start and just pretended not to."

"The purpose was just to disgust us!"

"I was the archery champion for the entire Lighthouse Country last year, and this Dragon Country Kid's shooting skill..."

"...definitely can't be achieved without three to five years of practice."

"It seems this kid really knows how to shoot and is just pretending."

"What an insidious kid!"

"..."

The Dragon Country Masses were amused and angered by the Foreigners' wild accusations.

"You Foreigners are the typical 'sour grapes' type."

"Is it that hard to admit someone else's excellence?"
