Chapter 164: Arrows never miss, origin of Snake Shadow

In the valley forest!

A group of teenagers wore black iron masks, with black iron pasted on their chests and backs, and the same was true for their crotches.

Although the weight of their bodies increased, no teenager dared not wear them.

Just because their assessment content this time was to avoid arrows.

This thing is fine if it hits other places, but if the head, chest, and crotch are hit, they will be dead or disabled.

More than twenty figures constantly shuttled flexibly in the valley forest, occasionally gathering to exchange information, and then dispersing again. The black iron on their bodies did not affect their speed and flexibility at all.

As long as they are not hit by arrows within an hour, this assessment is considered passed, and they can get twenty points.

"Lin Lin Shixiong Shen, this time it's Lin Lin Shixiong who is dealing with us. He should show mercy to the three of us, right?"

Yin Aosong whispered. They were all from Raozhou Prefecture, so Lin Chen should cherish this fellow-townsman friendship.

"Don't think about it!"

Shen Ge shook his head: "Since the instructor arranged for Lin Lin Shixiong to shoot arrows, Lin Lin Shixiong will definitely not show mercy. Perhaps our assessment requirement is not to be hit by arrows, and Lin Lin Shixiong's assessment requirement is for the arrows to hit us."

"I think Lin Lin Shixiong Shen's words are very likely. Counting on Lin Lin Shixiong to show mercy is impossible. The forest is so dense, whether Lin Lin Shixiong can see us clearly is..."

Whoosh!

Before the teenager on the side finished speaking, he only felt a shock in his chest, and the terrifying impact made blood surge up his throat.

Clang!

Shen Ge looked at the torn clothes on his companion's chest, and the black iron, which was half a foot thick, had an arrow mark on it. Without any hesitation, he rolled on the ground and his figure darted into the thorns on the side.

Yin Aosong reacted a moment slower. The next moment, he felt a sharp pain in his forehead, and he fell to the ground.

Lin Lin Shixiong, this is not showing no mercy, this is specifically attacking his own people!

A few breaths after falling to the ground, Yin Aosong and his companion who fell not far away looked at each other, and both saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

According to the rules issued by the instructors, as long as you are hit by an arrow, you are eliminated, lying on the ground, and then waiting for that Lin Lin Shixiong Du to come and collect the corpse, and by the way, be humiliated as a piece of trash.

……

At the edge of the forest, Lin Chen didn't draw his bow, but searched in the forest. To hit others in the lush forest, he not only had to be accurate but also fast, taking advantage of the fact that the other party hadn't reacted, and striking first.

Lin Chen was like a ghost hunter, shuttling silently in the forest. Every time he drew his bow, a student fell.

One, two...

In just a quarter of an hour, twenty students were eliminated.

However, facing the remaining nine students, in the next quarter of an hour, Lin Chen didn't shoot an arrow even once.

It wasn't that these students were hiding well and couldn't be found, but that he didn't have absolute certainty.

Twenty-nine students, only twenty-nine arrows, missing one arrow is considered a failure.

These twenty-nine students were not weak, reacted extremely quickly, and didn't stop in the forest, constantly moving and shifting.

Running and moving for an hour, for a martial artist with a dozen acupoints opened, the physical consumption was not great, and an hour could be fully persisted.

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes, followed behind these students, and even revealed his figure directly in front of these students. His purpose was also very simple, just to see the subtle movements these students chose to hide when they found him.

Compare the subtle movements of these students with the Martial Dao techniques they learned.

"Any martial artist, their behavior, will be affected by the techniques they cultivate. This is an instinctive reaction after years of cultivating a technique, which is basically difficult to change."

Yu Yu Jiaoxi Jia's guidance still echoed in Lin Chen's mind.

"You cultivated the Clear Wind Palm, Water Cloud Palm, Iron Bone Art, and Gale Leg, and the first move of the Gale Leg 【Wind Rises from Green Duckweed】, the left toe tilts forward, the right knee slightly bends to exert force, the body moves horizontally, and finally the left leg sweeps horizontally in the air. So when you want to move horizontally to the right, your right knee will have a slight bending action, even if the range is extremely small, it can be captured."

In the bamboo forest, he changed directions continuously, but in the end, he was blocked by Yu Yu Jiaoxi Jia's bow and arrow.

After listening to Yu Yu Jiaoxi Jia's guidance, Lin Chen understood that this was not just a habit. Habits can be overcome, but muscle memory is difficult to overcome.

Half an hour later.

Lin Chen appeared many times, watching the junior brothers running in front of him, observing the subtle changes in their bodies when they ran, and then comparing them one by one with the technique moves each junior brother learned in his mind, finding the regularity of their Qi operation.

Actions can deceive people, but instinctive muscle movements cannot.

At the last moment of the countdown, Lin Chen nocked an arrow and fired!

Bang!

A figure fell.

Hearing the movement that had stopped for a long time appear again, the remaining few people's expressions became serious.

As long as they persisted for another quarter of an hour, they would win this assessment, but the more it was this time, the more careful they had to be.

However, what made them despair was that next, every few dozen breaths, there was a sound of metal collision.

In this forest, there was only one possibility for the sound of metal collision, which was the sound of arrows and iron plates colliding.

Shen Ge, lying in the grass, listened to the movement, his body motionless, but after fifteen breaths, seeing Lin Chen standing ten feet away in front, he gritted his teeth and stood up from the ground.

"Lin Lin Shixiong!"

Shen Ge knew very well that Lin Lin Shixiong would appear ten feet away, he must have discovered him, because he was the only one in the vicinity.

Shen Ge spoke, but Lin Chen, ten feet away, didn't speak, just drew his bow and nocked an arrow. Seeing this scene, Shen Ge's pupils constricted, and his figure suddenly shuttled left and right quickly, using the trees in the forest to cover himself, but his eyes were fixed on Lin Chen.

When he saw Lin Chen release his hand, his figure also moved, but this time it was not to the left, nor to the right, but jumped high into the air.

Facing an archer, the most dreaded thing is to be in a high place, because this will become a living target for the archer.

However, there was a look of pride on Shen Ge's face. His choice to jump up was based on careful judgment.

After Lin Lin Shixiong eliminated most of the students, the forest returned to quiet, and he even bumped into Lin Lin Shixiong several times later, but Lin Lin Shixiong didn't shoot any more arrows. It was definitely not because Lin Lin Shixiong showed mercy because they were from Raozhou Prefecture. There was only one explanation: Lin Lin Shixiong's arrows were limited.

It is very likely that Lin Lin Shixiong only had twenty-nine arrows. Once one arrow was missed, it was equivalent to failure.

Although this guess was unbelievable, he had to shoot twenty-nine people with twenty-nine arrows, and it was in a forest where it was easy to hide. But thinking that Lin Lin Shixiong could not be viewed with common sense, it was not impossible for the instructors to set such assessment rules.

With a guess in his heart, Shen Ge also thought of a way to deal with it.

Hiding, it was absolutely impossible to hide for an hour.

But as long as Lin Lin Shixiong missed an arrow, he would win, because Lin Lin Shixiong had no more arrows.

From the moment Lin Lin Shixiong appeared, he fell into the plan he had designed. Lin Lin Shixiong would never have thought that he would choose to jump high into the air at the end.

Bang!

At the moment of severe pain in his chest, Shen Ge couldn't think of how Lin Lin Shixiong judged it.

"Lin Lin Shidi Shen... worthy of being a fellow-townsman. This is fearing that Lin Lin Shixiong will fail the assessment, so you finally let Lin Lin Shixiong win."

The words Lin Chen left before leaving made Shen Ge's mouth twitch, but the next moment his pupils constricted sharply, and a guess emerged in his heart: could it be that he was really using a villain's heart to measure a gentleman's belly?

Lin Lin Shixiong, originally when he saw him at the last arrow, was prepared to show mercy, otherwise it would be impossible to shoot towards the high sky. It was just a coincidence, he was self-righteous, and instead was hit.

Otherwise, there was no way to explain why Lin Lin Shixiong's arrow would shoot towards the high sky, and Lin Lin Shixiong couldn't have known his inner thoughts.

Thinking this way, there was a look of shame on Shen Ge's face.

……

……

"Yu Yu Jiaoxi Jia, disciple luckily completed it."

Outside the forest, Lin Chen looked at Jia Nanzhu with a smile. Jia Nanzhu didn't skimp on his satisfied smile towards Lin Chen.

He believed Lin Chen could do it, but he originally thought that Lin Chen would only succeed after trying several times, so he gave Lin Chen three days, but he didn't expect that he completed it the first time.

"How did you do it? Just relying on the technique manuals I gave you, I'm afraid it wouldn't be this easy."

"In the disciple's room, there is a note left by a senior, which mentions a lot of content about acupoint operation and force exertion. While observing the subtle movements of the junior brothers, the disciple also observed their breathing rhythm, and finally made a prediction."

Lin Chen answered truthfully, only omitting one point. In a relatively dark place like the forest, the enlightenment and perception enhancement provided by 【Black to the End】 allowed his brain's reaction analysis ability to grow, and perception allowed him to see the junior brothers' movements more clearly.

Just like the last arrow shot at Lin Lin Shidi Shen, Lin Lin Shidi Shen was very smart, and there were almost no flaws in his subtle movements, but at the last moment, there was a contraction detail in his abdomen, which was a performance of Qi operation with one breath lifted. Lin Lin Shidi Shen cultivated the Liaoyun Palm, and one of the moves of the Liaoyun Palm was to jump high into the air.

After listening to Lin Chen's explanation, Jia Nanzhu was dumbfounded. It's easy to say but hard to do.

Predicting the opponent's moves and directions, many martial artists have thought about it, but very few can do it. The reason is that making a prediction in a flash is a great test of one's own thinking ability.

This is a perfect piece of unpolished jade!

At this moment, Jia Nanzhu was glad that he would rather resign from the position of Deputy Director of the Martial Administration Hall than come to the special training ground.

Lin Chen is worth his trip!

"I said, if you can complete this task within three days, I will give you a gift. Come with me."

Jia Nanzhu turned around, and Lin Chen hurriedly followed behind.

And on the other side, at this moment, Yu Fei, Shen Ge, and others were dejected. In front of them was Lin Lin Shixiong Du, who was privately called "Poison Mouth."

"A bunch of trash, Lin Chen only has twenty-nine arrows, and you twenty-nine people stayed in the forest, and you could still all be hit. Even if you put twenty-nine pigs in the forest, they would be better than you!"

Some students were unconvinced, Du Yong sneered: "Why, do you think what I said is wrong?"

"Lin Lin Shixiong Du's words are too much. If it were twenty-nine pigs, Lin Lin Shixiong wouldn't need twenty-nine arrows." Some students retorted with their necks stuck.

"Yes, so trash like you can only be compared to pigs!"

Shen Ge: ……

Yu Fei: ……

Lin Lin Shixiong Du's mouth is so poisonous. He was deliberately waiting for them to retort here.

"All of you go and break through the barriers. If everyone doesn't break through ten times, you are not allowed to stop!"

As soon as Du Yong said this, many people's expressions changed instantly. Breaking through ten times means they have to be seriously injured ten times.

"Let's go!"

On the contrary, Yu Fei and the others left silently with dark faces.

"Lin Lin Shixiong Shen, what's the situation with these few?"

"As the number one students in various prefectures, the gap between them and Lin Lin Shixiong is getting wider and wider, and they are holding back a breath of anger."

Shen Ge looked at the backs of Yu Fei and the others leaving, knowing in his heart that these few must be feeling bad.

Even when they first entered the special training ground, Lin Lin Shixiong defeated all four of them alone, but it didn't bring as much blow as being hit by one arrow.

If Lin Lin Shixiong could shoot arrows multiple times, it would be better, but Lin Lin Shixiong had a total of twenty-nine arrows, truly hitting every time.

Although Lin Lin Shixiong Du's mouth was a bit poisonous, he was not wrong. In Lin Lin Shixiong's eyes, they were probably no different from pigs.

……

……

In the bamboo forest, Jia Nanzhu held a transparent bottle no larger than a finger joint, containing a drop of blood.

"Bring your Snake Shadow Bow over."

Lin Chen took the Snake Shadow Bow and approached. Jia Nanzhu's expression was serious: "Hold this bow tightly in a moment."

"Yes."

Jia Nanzhu pulled off the cap of the bottle. Lin Chen was a bit puzzled at first, but after a few breaths, his pupils constricted, and his right hand tightly grasped the Snake Shadow Bow in his hand.

The Snake Shadow Bow was vibrating!

Vibrating crazily, as if attracted by something, wanting to break away from his palm.

Slap!

Jia Nanzhu put the cap back on, and the Snake Shadow Bow returned to quiet. Lin Chen looked up at the bottle in Jia Nanzhu's hand and asked puzzledly: "Yu Yu Jiaoxi, the blood in this bottle is related to the Snake Shadow Bow in my hand?"

"Hmm, the blood in this bottle and the bowstring of your bow are of the same clan."

"Snake Demon Blood?" Lin Chen had a judgment in his heart, but since it could be called a gift by Yu Yu Jiaoxi Jia, it was likely not an ordinary snake demon, at least a powerhouse among snake demons.

When he met that snake demon, he smashed it into a bloody mess, and the Snake Shadow Bow didn't have any reaction.

"It's not Snake Demon Blood, but Flood Dragon Blood."

Jia Nanzhu said lightly, looking at the shocked look of the young man in front of him, a proud smile appeared on his face after selling the suspense.

He was always shocked, now it should be Lin Chen's turn to be shocked and smile.

"Originally I wasn't sure, but now I can be sure. The real name of this bow should be Long Yinggong. The bowstring of this bow should be refined from the tendons of a flood dragon."

Dragon Tendon!

A flood dragon is also a dragon!

Lin Chen looked at the Snake Shadow Bow in his hand, oh no, it was the Long Yinggong. He couldn't imagine that the bow he chose on a whim in the C-level treasury had such a great origin.

"I brought this drop of flood dragon blood, not just to verify whether this bow is a bowstring refined from flood dragon tendons. This drop of flood dragon blood is a gift for you."
