Chapter 659: Two Dragons Playing with a Pearl
Silence.
At this moment, the entire arena was deathly silent; one could hear a pin drop.
Every single person.
Had their eyes wide open.
Even their breathing had stopped.
What the?
What is this situation!
They swore, no one had expected this!
Not a single person could have imagined that such a scene would appear!
Ten rings!
This blind man, from one hundred meters away, had actually shot a perfect score of ten rings! And that was even with the wind!
"My god..."
"What just happened?"
"Am I seeing things!"
The entire arena erupted in a collective gasp, and following that, everyone lost their composure!
Zhebie's pupils contracted sharply.
Xie Fang's face was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth: "No, impossible, this is impossible! This was absolutely a fluke! This was absolutely a fluke! Damn it, tell this Prince, why didn't the laxative work, why didn't it work!"
"Your Highness... Your Highness, please keep your voice down!"
"Your Highness, this..."
"Your Highness, this must be a fluke!"
"Your Highness, please stay calm, stay calm!"
It was definitely a fluke!
How could there be such a strong person! He is a blind man! How did he aim!
This is not normal!
This is not scientific!
However, these ten rings had indeed happened right before everyone's eyes. You had to believe it!
"Score is valid, ten rings!"
The referee was also stunned for a moment before making the judgment.
The entire arena exploded.
Then came the cheers.
"Good!"
"Dominating!"
"Amazing!"
"My god, a miraculous skill, a miraculous skill!"
Who has ever seen such a miracle? Thunderous applause and endless cheering. This was a blind man; how magical and how inspiring this was!
"This..."
Xie Tianyao's eyes also lit up, and he exchanged a glance with Grand Eunuch Zhou.
Good.
Liu Zheng is truly Liu Zheng!
Always playing by his own rules.
Just like that, a blind man had actually defeated the world-renowned master archer Zhebie in the first round... Although the ring count was the same, he had indeed defeated him. Because he had shot his arrow in the wind!
Of course.
The first round didn't prove anything.
There were twenty rounds in total!
Many people thought this way.
A fluke once, but what about the second time?
"Second round, begin!"
The referee announced.
Everyone in the arena looked again at Li Zheng of the Li Dynasty.
Li Zheng had just run back, still covered in sweat. Everyone wanted to laugh when they saw him; such a handsome young man, why couldn't he hold it in...
Who knew.
At this laugh, Li Zheng's expression changed drastically again, and he clutched his stomach and ran away like a madman.
The whole arena was stunned, then burst into laughter.
"Position one, forfeits the second round!"
The referee had no choice but to announce it.
Li Xuanya felt like she wanted to cry at this moment, didn't she?
Two rounds in a row, with no score! This meant her hopes of achieving something at the Longyun Games had completely fallen through. But fortunately, at least this time, Brother Li reacted extremely quickly, which managed to preserve the final dignity of the Li Dynasty—he didn't relieve himself on the spot.
"Eight rings!"
"Seven rings!"
"Six rings!"
"Seven rings!"
Next, the second round of the competition began.
"Ten rings!"
Unexpectedly, this time, the Wa contestant also shot a perfect score of ten rings. This made Mizuno Masashige laugh out loud with excitement. There is a chance, there is still a chance!
Next.
It was Zhebie again.
Zhebie quietly glanced at the blind man Zhang Sheng beside him; for the first time, he truly took this competition seriously. Before, he had originally just been playing with a casual mindset. After all, he was the world's number one master archer, but he hadn't expected... others thought this blind man was just lucky. But he knew, that was not the case.
He had achieved victory by relying on true strength!
Nock the string, draw the bow.
Aim.
Take a deep breath.
Zhebie's muscular arm suddenly twitched. This second arrow flew out in an instant.
Bang!
Crack!
No one expected it. This arrow actually struck the tail of the previous arrow directly! Then, this arrow, to the naked eye, forcefully split the previous arrow right down the middle!
Everyone was struck with unspeakable shock!
Dominating!
A miracle!
This was likewise equivalent to a miracle!
Applause rose again, cheers rose again, completely unable to stop. That group of people from the Qiang People Royal Court side also began to shout along. Such a performance, god-like in its skill, was even slightly better than the blind man's performance just now. Even Zhebie himself smiled slightly, very satisfied with his own performance.
"Ten rings, the score is valid!"
At this, everyone looked at the blind man Zhang Sheng again.
The pressure must be immense, right?
Pressure my foot!
Zhang Sheng remained calm and composed, slowly and methodically packing up his bow and arrows.
It looked like others were much more anxious than he was.
Calm.
Composed.
People could even see a trace of refined, scholarly temperament in this old soldier.
Liangzhou Army.
Is this the Liangzhou Army?
Tie Mu Cheng, watching from afar, also narrowed his eyes slightly. Once again, he developed a deep interest in this Liangzhou Army. He had investigated that this blind man, Zhang Sheng, had previously been a Centurion in the Liangzhou Army.
A blind Centurion...
Could actually go toe-to-toe with his own top general in the arena.
This Liangzhou Army has something to it.
It's just that...
Zhebie's performance just now could be called perfect.
Can this blind man still win?
Suddenly.
The blind man Zhang Sheng chuckled at the referee beside him: "Sir, can I shoot two arrows at once? In a while, I want to go to the latrine..."
"Ah?"
The referee was stunned for a moment.
Two arrows at once?
Is there such a rule? They didn't know either! We are seeing this for the first time too, hey! They couldn't help but look toward Liu Zheng at the side of the arena.
Liu Zheng smiled without saying a word.
Don't just smile without saying a word! Say something! No, this blind man is one of our own, so we must certainly make things convenient for our own; besides, if the man wants to go to the latrine, we can't refuse that. Otherwise, if he does like Li Zheng at position number one and relieves himself right here, wouldn't that be a desecration of the imperial presence?
"Granted!"
Two arrows!
Crazy!
He is a blind man after all!
Everyone gasped, holding their breath in anticipation!
Heavens!
Such a brilliant competition—where would these commoners normally ever get to see this!
Zhebie also looked over with interest.
Two arrows, nocked at the same time.
Xie Tianyao also couldn't help but lean forward, squinting as he watched.
Xie Chan blinked her eyes.
Xie Fang continued to look gloomy.
Although Zhang Sheng no longer led troops, his daily training had never fallen behind. Powerful and sturdy, he pulled the bow to its full draw.
Whoosh, whoosh!
Casting the bow aside, two arrows flew out at the same time.
Everyone's eyes were fixed intently on these two arrows.
What was impossible for people to understand was this.
In this light breeze, the two arrows did not fly in a straight line, but rather trembled slightly; the two arrows were like two dragons circling in the air.
Sometimes near, sometimes far.
Yet they always flew at the same speed.
Double Dragon Playing with the Pearl!
The two arrows gave people the feeling of a Double Dragon Playing with the Pearl!
Bang!
A single sound.
There was only one sound.
Both arrows struck the bullseye simultaneously.
Dead silence.
Even the sound of breathing was gone.
