Our teachers here are guaranteed top-level professionals”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, no need”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Will you be using your own bow or ours?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m using my own”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Gu Qing Shan said that, he reached into the archery bag behind him to take out the Night Rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me try for a bit first”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please go ahead”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not infusing any spirit energy, he only casually took an arrow, pulled the strings and fired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>———–boom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A target more than 50 meters away was blown to bits, there was even a huge hole on the walls behind the target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole archery range went silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What happened?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bombs?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, it seems like the target had a problem”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few people who didn’t seem to sure what happened was discussing it among themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’re all aristocrats with some pedigree, so even if there’s a crisis, they would still remain calm first and foremost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two employees besides Gu Qing Shan are already stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, sorry about that, seems like I’d better use your bows instead” Gu Qing Shan quickly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is a distinguished individual, of course he would be different from normal people, one of the employees convinced herself, then said: “That’s great, then would you like to use a public target that everyone can use, or a personal target?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Personal target” Gu Qing Shan thought a bit and answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The employee: “The first time renting our bow will cost you 800 credits, a personal target will cost 1000 credits per hour”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...That’s fine”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the 2 employees made a strange face a left, Gu Qing Shan could finally sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Night Rain is too powerful, infusing it with spirit energy will let it become invisible, as well as removing all traces of the user.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan had already considered this fact, so to avoid attention, Gu Qing Shan didn’t use spirit energy and only 1\u002F3 of his raw strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The result was that a high-resistance target was immediately blown to pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stowing away the Night Rain, Gu Qing Shan chose a target closest to himself and waited for the employees to do their job.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a bit later, the employee brought back 3 bows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please try them out”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan tried each one, estimated for a bit before choosing the heaviest one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll use this one” he gestured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Very well, please have a good time” the employee politely said and returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very good, now I can start training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing I have to worry about is the strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan drew an arrow used for training, only using 10% of his strength, lightly pulled the bow and fired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh no!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the arrow left the bow, Gu Qing Shan immediately regretted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This shot he had unconsciously used the arrow guiding method of Shifting Flurry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a shot arrow cannot be taken back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arrow flew out in a twisted line, drawing a strange curve before hitting the bullseyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A surprised shriek was heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look, look, that arrow can curve!” a female student who what watching shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How is that possible”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That can’t be, you must have seen it wrong”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few people refuted her suspiciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right then, everyone was still concentrating on training, so no one else noticed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan wiped the sweat from his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a blunder, accidentally using a Skill like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He feigned ignorance of the commotion, pulled his bow and once again fired an arrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, everyone else on the archery range all stopped their hands to look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan lightly let go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arrow flew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time was a normal arrow, so everyone watching felt disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan breathed out normally, then continued to shoot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next few minutes, he had shot 2 quivers worth of arrows, but did not create any more commotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was now that everybody stopped paying attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the female student was muttering to herself: “Could it be that I was dizzy?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, seeing that Gu Qing Shan held the same posture, using very standard, but also accurate archery, even she lost interest. A bit angry, she didn’t bother with Gu Qing Shan anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Gu Qing Shan could sigh in relief, considering himself lucky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Putting down the bow used for training, Gu Qing Shan hesitated a bit, but still took the Night Rain out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Training bows are too normal, so Gu Qing Shan wasn’t feeling it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He might as well use the Night Rain, that way, not only can he train his skills, he can also get used to using the Night Rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing he has to worry about is not using spirit energy, and pay attention to not use too much force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The former will create strange occurances, while targets can’t handle the latter, drawing unnecessary attention to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan held the Night Rain, stood at the rented target, using minimal force to fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time he used a full hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan happily trained, his whole body covered in sweat, but got more and more used to the Night Rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he couldn’t use any Skills, the knowledge he gained on archery itself is real, this time he even drilled them into his body as muscle memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While nonchalantly training, he didn’t notice there were people staring straight at him, as well as the Night Rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice was heard next to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan looked back, only to see a young man standing at the target next to him while seriously evaluating him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s it is?” Gu Qing Shan lowered his bow and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can I ask if your bow is for sale?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sorry, it’s not” Gu Qing Shan answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man still stared at the Night Rain, loudly: “Just name a price, bargain a bit, to us money is no issue”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t intend to sell it” Gu Qing Shan repeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man shook his head, turned to go to another target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He went into a group of youths and repeated what Gu Qing Shan had said to the leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader laughed when he heard that and said something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a moment later, the whole crowd of people went next to Gu Qing Shan’s target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan seemingly not aware yet, still drawing arrow after arrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your bow isn’t bad”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader stares incessantly at the Night Rain, greed could be seen in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It really isn’t” Gu Qing Shan answered\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I want to buy it” the person said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m not selling”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t be like that, how about this, you sell me the bow, we can be friends”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not selling”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person thought for a bit, then said: “Then how about a bet? I’ll bet 100,000 credits”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Archery, this type of sport, by itself is a very good sport to bet on and discuss, not just aristocrats but even regular people who have a bit of money are willing to bet on it for a bit of fun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right when Gu Qing Shan was a bit lacking money, so when he heard that he said: “That’s fine, but I have a condition”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How dare you speak of conditions in front of Hui Shao!” the young man from before shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t fuss, let him speak his condition”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hui Shao raised a hand to stop the other person and slightly cracked his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time a fish is about to take the bait, he would always not be able to help it and crack his neck a little to hide his emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as the other party agrees to a bet, he have absolute confidence to win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just a few small tricks, some dirty, some aren’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time he’s prepared at least 5-6 of those.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he really wants that special and powerful bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s a simple condition” Gu Qing Shan coldly replied “transfer the 100,000 credits first, if I win I’ll take the money and leave, you win, both the money and the bow is yours”\u003C\u002Fp>",1400,"2026-06-09T03:05:00.962Z",1,"novelbin.me","7dc4d4833f8ea165a2bcb9260fd2d852b045c22c708868a831b89799bbe82d7d","worlds-apocalypse-online-chapter-43","worlds-apocalypse-online-chapter-41",1850,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fworlds-apocalypse-online-cover.jpg"]
