Do you have the strength to force me to join the Liangshan bandits?

Chapter 585 Who says you can't shoot an arrow with one hand? [3rd update]

Wu Shangzhi glanced confidently at Hua Pufang beside him.

Hua Pufang didn't notice, but Yang Hu saw it clearly and immediately glared at him:
"What do you think of me, you scoundrel?"

Wu Shangzhi scoffed and strode towards the podium.

Yang Hu suddenly realized: "This guy is just upset that you hit the target seven out of ten times!"

Hua Pufang pretended to be magnanimous and said, "There are people beyond people, and mountains beyond mountains!"

"Maybe he can hit the bullseye seven out of ten times?"

Wang Zuo chuckled, which earned him a furious glare from Yang Hu, until the sound of rapid hoofbeats rang out.

"Running so fast?"

Yang Hu glanced at Wu Shangzhi urging his horse past at full speed and curled his lip in disapproval.
"Be careful not to fall!"

However, to his surprise, Wu Shangzhi not only did not fall off, but instead stood on the horse's back!

"hiss--"

Yang Hu and Hua Pufang stared wide-eyed as they watched Wu Shangzhi stand on horseback with his arms outstretched!
No matter how fast his mount ran, Wu Shangzhi remained standing firmly!

The onlookers immediately cheered loudly, but Yang Hu snorted, "What's the use of all this fancy stuff?"

"It's a mounted archery competition; can he hit the target?"

Wu Shangzhi rode his horse around the target for eighty paces before nocking the arrow.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

"Dong dong dong..."

Even after Wu Shangzhi returned, Yang Hu and Hua Pufang were still speechless with astonishment...

Ten arrows, ten hits!

And it was only eighty paces away!

Is this guy even human?

Yang Hu and Hua Pufang were dumbfounded. Wu Shangzhi walked up to them and deliberately paused for a moment.

After admiring Yang Hu and Hua Pufang's flushed faces, Wu Shangzhi laughed heartily and hugged Wang Zuo.

"It's all good, brother! It's all good!"

Wang Zuo excitedly hugged Wu Shangzhi tightly:
"Did you hear that? Everyone's cheering for you!"
If you don't win, who will?

Hua Pufang was so embarrassed he couldn't lift his head. Wu Shangzhi generously offered him a word of encouragement:
"Brother, it's pretty good that you hit seven out of ten arrows."

Even if we can't win the championship, we'll at least be in the top three.

Hua Pufang thought about it and agreed. Wu Shangzhi had reached his peak, so how could there be someone stronger?

Wu Shangzhi won the championship, but I could be content with just a top-three finish.

Thinking about it this way, Hua Pufang felt much better.

Hua Pufang and Wu Shangzhi were happy for a short while, then it was Wang Jin's turn.

When Wang Jin stepped onto the stage, the entire audience erupted in uproar.

There was no other reason than that half of Wang Jin's body was bandaged, and even his left arm was in a sling around his neck!

How can this compare?
Having adjusted their mindset, Hua Pufang and Wu Shangzhi were able to chat and laugh freely.
"This is just to make up the numbers!"

Wang Zuo shook his head and analyzed Wang Jin for them:

You don't understand!
"Despite his physical disability, he was determined and, although he was destined not to achieve anything, he was able to leave a deep impression on the King of Qi!"

"And even if he doesn't achieve any results, it's not shameful because he's injured!"

"This person is cunning!"

Before going on stage, Zong Ze comforted Wang Jin: "Brother, don't worry about the result. The King knows your strength."

"Thank you, Brother Zong."

Wang Jin nodded, swiped his card at the podium, and then took two running steps before jumping onto the horse's back.

"Quack! Quack!"

Wang Jin's horse ran faster than Wu Shangzhi's, making Wu Shangzhi a little envious.
"Watch out, you might fall off your horse!"

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Jin fell from his horse!
Wu Shangzhi's face immediately changed: Oh no! I was right!

However, all that was seen was Wang Jin falling off his horse and the steed galloping past, but no one was seen rolling on the ground!

"What about people?"

Wu Shangzhi, Hua Pufang and the others were all taken aback, especially Yang Hu, whose eyes widened in shock.

When Wang Jin's horse came running over, they suddenly realized that Wang Jin's men were actually pressed against the other side of the horse!
"What a brilliant 'hiding in the stirrup' technique!"

Yang Zhi, who had been lacking interest, finally perked up:
"This is a master!"

Cai Fu chuckled: "He was Shi Dalang's master. He was originally the instructor of the 800,000 Imperial Guards in Tokyo, named Wang Jin."

"It turns out to be him!"

Yang Zhi and Hu Yanzhuo suddenly realized what was going on. Hu Yanzhuo said, "I've heard of him before; he's truly a master!"

Wu Song knew nothing about riding or archery; he was just there to make up the numbers. He chimed in with his comment:
How can one shoot an arrow with only one hand?

Lu Junyi and Yang Zhi both laughed: "Who says you can't shoot an arrow with one hand?"

Wang Jin mounted his horse and went to the moving target. From a distance of 120 paces, he took out a bow from his flying fish bag.

"He wants to shoot an arrow with only one hand?"

Wu Shangzhi, Hua Pufang, and the others, like the onlookers, all thought it was impossible.

However, to their surprise, Wang Jin freed his right foot and used it to push against the bow's handle, which is the position where one would normally hold the bow with their hand.

With his right hand, he nocked the arrow and, with coordinated hand and foot movements, drew the bow.

"Boom-"

The arrow, shot with the combined effort of hands and feet, was fast and swift, like a dazzling firework, striking the target in a flash!
"Boom-"

"Boom boom boom..."

"Dong dong dong..."

Ten drumbeats rang out, and Wu Shangzhi, Hua Pufang, and all the onlookers were stunned:
One hand, moving the target, one hundred and twenty paces—

Ten arrows, ten hits?

My goodness! Is it really that amazing?

"it is good!"

Cai Fu gave a shout of approval, and the five examiners on the stage revealed their scores:

Cai Fu, 10 points.

Lu Junyi, 8 points.

Wu Song, 10 points.

Yang Zhi, 8 points.

Huyan Zhuo, 9 points.

"That's wrong!"

Wu Shangzhi and Hua Pufang then remembered:

"So there was a scoring system? Why weren't we given a score?"

Yang Hu and Wang Zuo both glanced at them subconsciously:

Is it possible that you are not worthy?
It's not that our feelings have faded, it's just that we were too shocked!

Wang Jin's performance left Yang Hu and Wang Zuo speechless; not applauding was the greatest respect they could show to Wu Shangzhi and Hua Pufang.

Wu Song glanced at Lu Junyi and then at Yang Zhi: "Second Brother, Old Yang, your standards are too high!"

Lu Junyi and Yang Zhi exchanged a smile, but said nothing.
We've barely gotten anywhere!

"high!"

Wang Jin returned to his position, and Zong Ze excitedly went forward to lead his horse:
"Brother, congratulations on winning the championship!"

Wang Jin shook his head dismissively: "There are always people better than you, and mountains beyond mountains."

"Brother Zong, you're speaking too soon."

real or fake?

Zong Ze felt that Wang Jin was a bit like Versailles. Could there be someone even stronger than Wang Jin?

Wu Shangzhi sighed: "I never expected there would be such a hero in the North!"

"I lost this time, and the title has been ceded to him!"

This time, it was Hua Pufang's turn to comfort Wu Shangzhi: "Brother, even if you can't win the championship, you'll at least be in the top three."

Wu Shangzhi thought about it and agreed. Wang Jin had reached his peak, so how could there be someone stronger?
Wang Jin won the championship, but I can still be satisfied with just a top-three finish.

Thinking about it this way, Wu Shangzhi felt much better.

However, to their surprise, Wang Jin's actions were just the beginning, like the sounding of a battle horn.

A large group of experts are eager to try their skills...

Gao Chong rubbed his tiny, fan-sized hands together until they sparked:
"Why haven't we had our turn yet?"

【Don’t worry, there’s more to come】
