<h4>Chapter 545 The Second Even</h4>
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Over a dozen arrows were released almost simultaneously, creating a spectacle scene.
A secondter, these arrows attached themselves to the 500-meter target without a single one of them missing, and half of these arrows managed to hit the red.
However, these participants didn’t have any time to look at the results and immediately began preparing for the second shot.
Three minutes passed in a sh, and the instructor blew the whistle, signaling the end of the first event.
The instructors then went to look at the targets and tallied the points.
A few minutester, the results were in.
"Look! As expected, Jenny got first ce with three perfect shots at the 500-meter target!"
"There are 6 people at second ce, huh. Not bad."
"What’s Me— Feng’s position in the ranking?" Yuan asked Wang Ming, as he wasn’t able to see the scoreboard with his divine sense.
"Feng? Let me see... She’s ranked 15 out of 20. She got three hits on the 500-meter, but none of them had hit the red." Wang Ming answered his question despite thinking that it was a weird question.
After all, can’t he see the scores himself?
A few minutester, the instructor gathered the participants in another location where the second event would take ce, and there was a lot of tall grass in that ce.
"For the second event, you will be shooting moving targets at around 100 meters. Do you see this tall field of grass? There are machines hidden inside that will be throwing apples into the air every single, and you will receive 1 point for every apple you hit in a time limit of 1 minute."
"These machines will also throw small red marbles into the air, and if you hit these targets, you will receive 3 points instead."
"There will be no practice for this event."
Once the instructor exined the rules of the event, she called one of the participants onto the stage and gave her a minute to mentally prepare herself.
The whistle was blown a minuteter, and the participant immediately raised her bow, shooting arrows at the apples that were being tossed into the air by the machines hidden within the grass.
It was unknown how many machines were hidden in the grass, but the apples would always be tossed at a different location.
And there would be a small marble the size of a pebble being thrown into the air after every few apples.
Although they were hard to hit, it wasn’t impossible, and the participant managed to hit one of them during her minute-long session that exploded into tiny red fragments.
"31 points!" The instructor announced at the end of her session.
Once that participant left the stage, another one entered the stage.
"28 points!" The instructor announced a minuteter.
"34 points!"
"33 points!"
"29 points!"
"51 points!"
"As expected of Xiao Mi, who is renowned for her fast shooting. Although she isn’t good at long-range shooting, she’s probably the best when ites to rapid-firing with the bow, and her uracy is very good as well."
The spectatorsmented as they watched the participants shoot apples and marbles.
A dozen namester, it was finally Meixiu’s turn to enter the stage.
Once she was on the stage, Meixiu took a minute to calm and clear her mind.
The moment the whistle was blown, she raised her bow and started shooting arrows every second, surprising the crowd.
"Wow! Looks like Xiao Mi isn’t the only one who’s good a rapid-fire! Who’s that participant?! I don’t recognize that person! And what is with the mask?"
"You don’t know? That’s yer Yuan’s caretaker, Feng."
"What? Really? No wonder... I guess it does require some skills to be yer Yuan’s caretaker."
Although the spectators were surprised at first, once they learned that Meixiu was Yuan’s caretaker, they were no longer as surprised.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Meixiu kept shooting her bow almost every second until the whistle was blown.
"60 points!"
The instructor announced.
"Wow, that’s even better than Xiao Mi. How many marbles did she hit? I counted 7."
"Yeah, she’d hit 7."
The second event finished half an hourter, and Meixiu had achieved first ce, boosting her total rank to number 7.
"Wow, your caretaker is very talented. Where did you find someone like her?" Wang Ming asked Yuan.
"Who knows..." Yuan responded with a smile behind his mask.
Sometimeter, the instructors gathered the participants again at the third location, which was arge but weirdly made tform, and it sort of resembled a treadmill.
"This is the movable tform. Watch."
The instructor pressed a button, and the stage immediately started moving one way like a treadmill.
"You will need to shoot your targets while standing on this tform. Moreover, your targets will be moving as well."
The instructor pointed to the field about 150 meters away, and there were human-figured targets moving left and right in a rhythmic manner.
"There are two targets, one at 150 meters and the other at 300 meters. You get 2 points if you hit the 150-meter target, 3 points if you hit the 300-meter, and like the first event, you will get double points if you hit the red."
"You will get 5 shots in total for this event with 1 minute for each shot, and the timer will not begin until the whistle blows."
Once again, every participant got a minute to mentally prepare themselves, and once the event began, the treadmill-like stage started moving, and it would gradually move faster after each shot.
When the treadmill stage reached a desirable speed, the instructor blew the whistle, signaling the beginning of the event.
The participant did not immediately shoot and took a moment to familiarize herself with the stage.
Half a minuteter, she drew her bow and aimed it at the 300-meter target.
Whoosh!
The arrow flew straight at the target, hitting it square in the chest, but it missed the red by an inch.
Five minutester, the instructor blew the whistle and said, "17 points!"
