"Are you ready?"
Wu Chuansheng looked at Li Yi with a solemn expression.
"Angkor, I'm ready, let's begin."
After receiving confirmation from Li Yi, Wu Chuansheng gave an order, and several veterans in his unit opened the cages they were holding. With a whoosh, five or six sparrows flew out and soared into the sky.
Seeing this, Li Yi's eyes narrowed, and he took out the Broken Army Bow, nocked an arrow, and fired several shots into the sky. In just a few breaths, the sparrows in the sky fell to the ground with a clatter.
Looking at the sparrow twitching on the ground, Li Yi nodded slightly.
During this period of training, Li Yi's "killing arrow" technique improved rapidly, and his experience in archery skills also increased significantly.
Wu Chuansheng, who was standing to the side, also smiled with satisfaction as he watched this scene.
"Shoot down five sparrows in ten breaths, not bad, not bad."
"You've almost finished training on the moving target. Take a break, and we'll move on to the last training exercise."
After handing the towel to Li Yi, Wu Chuansheng walked over to the veterans and began instructing them to prepare for the final training exercise.
Fifteen minutes later, Wu Chuansheng handed Li Yi a quiver of arrows.
Li Yi picked them up and saw that the arrows had bamboo shafts and white cloth wrapped around the arrowheads, with lime inside the cloth.
These are specially made training arrows. When they hit a target with force, the lime inside the white cloth on the arrowhead will be squeezed by gravity, leaving a noticeable white spot at the point where the target is hit.
"I'm ready, let's begin!"
Taking a deep breath, Li Yi hung the quiver on his waist and looked firmly into the woods where they were training.
"Let's begin!"
Wu Chuansheng struck the gong in his hand forcefully, and in an instant, a group of burly men dressed in black rushed out of the woods, carrying various weapons, and charged towards Li Yi.
kill!
Li Yi instantly sensed the battle situation, and with a casual flick of his wrist, an arrow was nocked onto the Po Jun Bow.
huh~
The arrow shot out instantly, striking a burly man wielding a knife in the heart with a sharp crack.
The arrow shaft snapped instantly under the immense impact, dust flew everywhere from the arrowhead, and a clump of lime stuck firmly to the burly man's black clothes.
After being hit by the arrow, the big man fell to the ground without uttering a sound.
Li Yi remained calm, quickly drew an arrow, and in the blink of an eye, hit a person hiding behind a bush, causing him to fall to the ground.
huh~
huh~
huh~
With three soft thuds, three burly men were hit by Li Yi and fell to the ground.
Meanwhile, ten more people were still charging towards Li Yi from the woods.
We need to speed things up!
Upon seeing this, Li Yi's expression hardened, and he reached into the quiver at his waist, instantly producing two arrows on the Po Jun Bow.
"Is this a double shot?"
Wu Chuansheng, who was standing to the side, narrowed his eyes as he watched this scene.
Firing multiple shots simultaneously is a skill possessed only by exceptionally gifted archers.
Even he, a veteran archer who had been immersed in archery for nearly ten years, had only just mastered the double shot!
Watching Li Yi execute the double shot with such skill and ease, Wu Chuansheng couldn't help but admire him secretly.
He hadn't expected Li Yi's talent to be so extraordinary.
It was far better than he had expected.
Whoosh~
In an instant, two large men who were close together were struck in vital areas and fell to the ground.
"Spread out!"
A loud shout came from deep within the woods.
In an instant, the remaining eight people gradually spread out.
This made it difficult for Li Yi to increase the efficiency of his two consecutive shots.
As the burly man drew ever closer, Li Yi remained unmoved.
Did you think that meant I had no other options?
While practicing archery, Li Yi thought of the famous gunfighting technique from his previous life.
If guns can have gun fighting techniques, then can arrows also have arrow fighting techniques?
This is a question that Li Yi has been pondering.
And now is the perfect time to realize Li Yi's idea.
As his thoughts raced, Li Yi took out two more arrows and nocked them onto the Broken Army Bow.
"We're so far apart, he can only shoot one person. Let's all take advantage of this opportunity!"
In an instant, the eight men lunged forward!
Seeing this, Li Yi flicked his wrist repeatedly, and the two arrows were crossed on the bowstring, their arrowheads slightly separated, pointing in different directions.
call out!
With a single sound, both arrows were released from the bowstring in an instant.
"What kind of archery is this?"
Wu Chuansheng, who was standing to the side, stared in shock as he watched this scene.
He could see clearly that although the two arrows were fired at the same time, they were not actually fired at the same time.
There was a gap of about half a breath between the two arrows, and during this interval, the Broken Army Bow in Li Yi's hand moved slightly.
pat!
pat!
Two breaths later, two people three meters apart were hit by arrows. Looking at the lime spots on their vital parts, the two were stunned and fell to the ground in surprise.
Seeing this, the remaining six were at a loss for what to do. But now, they could only grit their teeth and charge forward, trying to use their numerical advantage to get to Li Yi.
"Archery is indeed feasible."
Li Yi stared expressionlessly at the two fallen men, then nocked two more arrows onto his bowstring.
He recalled his previous movements, refined some details, drew his bow to its fullest extent, and with a whoosh, fired two arrows simultaneously, hitting two more people.
Archery skills are becoming increasingly proficient and effortless!
Moments later, the men who rushed out of the woods were all wiped out, shot by Li Yi.
The closest one was still twenty meters away from Li Yi!
"Okay, okay!"
Seeing the people lying on the ground, Wu Chuansheng was pleasantly surprised and only looked at Li Yi.
"You have completed the most important training for this deadly arrow—the moving human target training."
"The path ahead is something you'll have to learn through battle yourself!"
"You've pretty much mastered the basic techniques of the 'killing arrow'!"
"Thank you for the instruction, Angkor."
Li Yi looked at Wu Chuansheng with a sense of unease.
At Wu Chuansheng's signal, some of the veterans who had been lying on the ground in the woods, cooperating with Li Yi in training, also got up one after another.
They stared at Li Yi in shock, finding it hard to believe that he could simultaneously hit different targets that were far apart.
Such archery skills were completely beyond their comprehension.
"So this is the power of the [Cloud Piercing Arrow]?"
"It seems that this time, the promising new recruits from the infantry battalion won't be able to get first place in the new recruit assessment."
"Yes, after all these years, I never thought that the title of first place in the new recruit assessment would finally fall to our archer unit?"
For a time, everyone in the archer camp was discussing Li Yi's incredible and uncanny archery skills.
The discussions among those around him did not affect Li Yi's mindset.
After exchanging words with Wu Chuansheng, Li Yi returned to his tent.
"This Broken Army Bow is truly extraordinary!"
During the training just now, he discovered that although this Broken Army Bow was less than four stones, its power was not much different. Perhaps after it was repaired in the future, it could have the power of five or six stones!
After maintaining the Broken Army Bow, Li Yi opened the skill panel.
Archery (Proficient): 720/800
[Effect: When drawn from a four-stone bow, it can fire three consecutive arrows]
After this period of training, Li Yi's archery skills and experience have been steadily increasing.
During the training just now, Li Yi gained a lot of experience from mastering archery techniques. He was only 230 experience points away from breaking through to the next level of archery skills.
Just as Li Yi was in his tent, recalling and summarizing the various advantages and disadvantages of archery, footsteps came from outside the tent, and then the tent flap was lifted.
"Li Yi, Li Yi, I have some good news to tell you!"
Han Jia excitedly rushed into the tent and looked at Li Yi with great delight.
"What news?" Li Yi asked curiously.
Han Jia gulped down a large mouthful of water, and after catching his breath, looked at Li Yi and said:
"Do you still remember General Song Jiebai, who led us in suppressing the rebels?"
"I remember!"
The money used to purchase the breathing technique and the Broken Army Bow was a reward from Song Jie, which Li Yi certainly wouldn't forget.
"I've passed Song Jie's general's test, and I'm just waiting for the new recruit assessment to finish so I can join his personal guard!"
Song Jie's personal guard?
Han Jia's words surprised Li Yi slightly.
The State of Chen practiced a merit-based military system, and its officials were notoriously corrupt, with few taking their work seriously.
This resulted in these conscripted soldiers being unable to form a strong fighting force.
Most of the battles between the states relied on the personal guards under these generals.
In order to maintain their power, these generals would invest a lot of resources in training their own personal guards.
Joining Song Jie's team is a great option for Han Jia!
After all, Han Jia's family wasn't well-off either.
"That's great news! Congratulations!"
Putting aside his various thoughts, Li Yi repeatedly congratulated Han Jia.
"Oh right, General Song taught me the method of breathing exercises."
Previously, Han Jia had not been able to raise the ten taels of silver needed to learn breathing techniques, and had been focusing on strengthening his muscles and bones during this period.
Immediately, Han Jia enthusiastically gave a brief explanation of the breathing technique he had obtained.
Upon hearing this, Li Yi fell silent.
The breathing technique that Han Jia obtained is the [Swift Breathing Technique]!
Looking at Han Jia, who was tall, strong, and possessed superhuman strength, Li Yi fell silent.
"Han Jia, I have been practicing this breathing technique for some time now. Although it is good, it is not suitable for you. If you have the opportunity in the future, you should switch to another one as soon as possible."
The 【Swift Breathing Technique】is designed for lightness and speed, unlike Han Jia's powerful approach. If practiced continuously, it will only slow down Han Jia's cultivation.
Hearing Li Yi's words, Han Jia's excitement faded slightly, and he said helplessly:
"I know this breathing technique isn't very suitable, but as you know, it's the only breathing technique I have available. I can only practice it for now and change to another one later when I have the chance."
Han Jia's words revealed the helplessness of many newcomers.
As a newcomer with no background or resources, I can only try my best to grab any resources I can get my hands on; I have no right to choose.
Han Jia's experience also made Li Yi realize that what Cao Li Sima said was true.
Song Jie, who rose from the ranks of soldiers, did not have much of a foundation; he didn't even possess a powerful breathing technique to reward his personal guards.
With a slight sigh, Li Yi said to Han Jia:
"This breathing method suits me quite well, so I have some experience in practicing it. Since you haven't formally started practicing it yet, I'll explain it to you first."
Seeing that no one was around, Li Yi shared his insights with Han Jia.
As a close friend in the military, Han Jia's increased strength would greatly benefit him.
