Chapter 110: Six Arrows Fired Together!

Ye Qingran gathered her focus, took an arrow, nocked and drew the bow to full; in an instant her whole aura shifted, as if she had become another person.

Everyone's hearts shuddered.

But see, the figure in the White Silver Soft Armor was slender and graceful like a willow in the wind, yet stood straight as a pine in the gusting gale, like a peerless sword, its edge fully revealed.

Ye Huanhuan blinked, wondering how she had just felt Ye Qingran possessed an air of strategic mastery.

It must have been her illusion!

Although Ye Qingran had practiced archery since childhood under General Dingyuan, her talent was mediocre, far inferior to hers.

"Ye Qingran, putting on this act—who are you trying to impress…"

Dongfang Ling'er sneered, but before she could finish speaking, Ye Qingran's arrow left her hand, turning into a sharp afterimage, shooting toward the distant target.

Almost at the same moment, an extra arrow appeared on the distant target!

Dead center, bullseye!

Silence!

All doubts, like a mirror, were shattered by that single arrow!

Everyone stood frozen, staring at the arrow whose tail still vibrated at high frequency, their eyes flashing with astonishment.

Could that arrow really have been shot by Ye Qingran?

One arrow, bullseye?

Ye Qingran, do you really have such skill?

Dongfang Ling'er felt that Ye Qingran's arrow hadn't hit the target but her face, burning with pain.

"Tch, it must be a coincidence!" Dongfang Ling'er furrowed her brows, forcing a retort.

Ye Qingran gave her a cold, sideways glance, curled her lip slightly, nocked another arrow, the feathered shaft flashing like flowing light, and hit the bullseye again!

Pa—

Everyone seemed to hear a slap!

Dongfang Ling'er felt her face hurt even more!

Most shocking of all, the second arrow pierced the first, splitting it in two and taking its place!

The third arrow did the same, as if history were repeating itself!

Quiet quiet quiet!

A pin drop could be heard!

Many present stared wide‑eyed, unable to believe what they saw at the target.

Ye Huanhuan's pupils shrank to pinpoints; she could not accept this fact no matter what.

Ye Qingran, she actually shot with such precision?!

Even she wouldn't dare guarantee three arrows all hitting the bullseye!

"Huanhuan, perhaps Ye Qingran is only good at stationary and single‑arrow shooting; her multiple‑arrow and moving‑target skills must be terrible—let's wait and see!"

Seeing Ye Huanhuan's almost uncontrollable expression, Mu Qingrou beside her softly comforted her.

Ye Huanhuan gritted her teeth, barely nodding; she could only pray that Mu Qingrou's words were true.

Otherwise, if Ye Qingran outshone her, where would the face of Xiliang City's top genius go? Anyway, Ye Qingran is a good‑for‑nothing, already infamous; losing face once more wouldn't matter.

Ling Shaoyang watched Ye Qingran's maneuvers, a fierce light surging within him.

As he had expected, Ye Qingran was not ignorant of archery; on the contrary, she was very capable!

However, single‑arrow stationary shooting is the simplest in archery; multiple arrows and moving targets are what truly test ability.

He wanted to see just how many catties she weighed; but no matter how strong she became, she could never beat him in archery—he had immense confidence in this event!

"Ye Qingran, I don't know how many arrows you can shoot at once?"

Mu Qingrou called out loudly, her tone full of ill intent.

"How many more could she manage? Two arrows would already be a strain! Unlike my sister Huanhuan, who can fire three arrows at once, every shot a ten‑ring!" Ye Sisi said proudly, lifting her chin, basking in the glory.

Seeing many eyes on her, Ye Huanhuan gave a light smile, full of humility on the surface, yet her lowered gaze brimmed with confidence.

For most people, "multiple arrows" means just two; being able to shoot three at once is rare, so her ability to fire three simultaneously already counts as quite strong.

Ye Qingran recalled how Ling Shaoyang had just fired five arrows at once—two of them weren't bullseyes but still ten‑ring scores, while the other three hit the bullseye!

Five arrows at once was, for these Xiliang City nobles, an unreachable realm—only Ling Shaoyang, that monster, could achieve it.

"Then six arrows!" Ye Qingran said calmly; the remark instantly drew countless jeers.

"Six arrows? Are you kidding? Even Crown Prince Ling only manages five—what does Ye Qingran have to rely on?"

"Dreaming nonsense, really taking herself seriously?"

"I think she won't shed a tear until she sees her coffin!"

……

Others didn't believe it, but Ling Shaoyang felt a chill in his heart.

Ye Qingran, can she really shoot six arrows?

For a moment he couldn't tell whether Ye Qingran's words were true or false.

After all, five arrows is his limit!

Moreover, he had never seen anyone capable of firing six arrows simultaneously!

Ye Qingran ignored the surrounding noise, pulled six arrows from her quiver, pinched them between her fingers, and slowly drew the bow to full.

Everyone stared wide‑eyed, wanting to see whether Ye Qingran was just boasting or truly possessed this ability.

Swish swish swish swish swish swish~

Six arrows fired together!

Each arrow, after leaving the string, flew in a different direction—this is the hardest part of multiarrow shooting, especially controlling each arrow's angle and force to the extreme; otherwise, not only would good scores be impossible, even hitting the target might fail.

Peng peng peng peng peng peng~

Six-direction sounds almost came simultaneously; that was the sound of feathered arrows hitting the target.

Everyone looked closely and saw that, astonishingly, six shafts five arrows were on five adjacent targets, and not a single one missed the bullseye!

This…

Gasps rose and fell one after another, and everyone was stunned!

Even Gu Huanghou, who was watching the show from the side, stood up, her face full of surprise and uncertainty; one can imagine how great a shock Ye Qingran's six arrows fired simultaneously gave her!

Who would have thought that, in their eyes, Ye Qingran, whose archery skills were not refined, could not only fire six arrows simultaneously, but each arrow hit the bullseye!

Ye Huanhuan saw this, her legs went weak, and she almost fell to the ground.

"How could this be? Ye Qingran, how is this possible!!"

Her face turned deathly pale, as if she had seen a ghost. She had thought Ye Qingran in archery was absolutely no match for her Ye Huanhuan. But now…

Just now Ye Sisi was still praising Ye Huanhuan, but now she didn't dare to breathe. Just now she praised Ye Huanhuan, saying she could fire three arrows simultaneously, which was rare; in a moment, Ye Qingran directly fired six arrows, twice the number of Ye Huanhuan's, and every arrow hit the bullseye!

Comparing the two, the superiority is immediately clear!

In Ling Shaoyang's eyes, an unusual gleam appeared.

Ye Qingran, she actually can fire six arrows simultaneously?!

He had been constantly pushing himself, trying to fire six arrows. But he had never succeeded, feeling depressed and somewhat irritable; Ye Qingran's action today could be considered a great encouragement to him!

In the second round, the requirement for multi-arrow shooting is to fire three times in a row and take the best score. Ye Qingran shot two more times, exactly the same as the first, all six arrows hitting the bullseye, truly a hundred shots, hundred hits!

Soon, Ye Qingran performed moving-target shooting, and as expected, she once again shocked the entire audience!

The results came out quickly; Ye Qingran's score surpassed Ling Shaoyang's, placing her first in the second round!

Ye Huanhuan never dreamed that she, who had victory in her grasp, would today suffer a setback, falling from the confident top of the list to third place.

However, Ye Huanhuan's nightmare had not ended.

"Yo, this is so lively, sorry everyone, I had something to do and came late!"
