In chaotic times, skill points are added: from hunter to martial saint, only killing and no mercy!

Thump! Thump! Thump!

As the three drumbeats sounded, hundreds of new recruits gathered in the camp.

Today marks the start of the new employee assessment.

Li Yi and Han Jia stood in the crowd, looking at the leading officers.

A village headman walked up to the crowd and read out some rules for the assessment of new recruits.

"Furthermore, injuries or fatalities are permitted during this assessment!"

Before the village head had even finished speaking, the newlyweds erupted in a frenzy.

It was already outrageous that veterans were allowed to participate in this assessment, but it was unexpected that injuries or fatalities were also allowed.

Immediately, the crowd began to discuss the matter.

Some people even led protests, questioning the fairness of the assessment.

But before he could finish speaking, he was taken away by several veterans. Then, squads of veterans, fully armed and ready, approached the group of new recruits, eyeing them menacingly.

The village head snorted coldly a few times:

"The rules for these assessments have never been fixed; the generals decide how to conduct them based on the circumstances. Are you questioning the generals?"

For a moment, everyone fell silent, suppressing their dissatisfaction.

Li Yi, standing in the crowd, had a slight change in expression.

Household Department!

He had repeatedly refused the magistrate's request, and the magistrate had always believed that he had simply killed Wang Dagui.

It seems highly likely that the fact that death was permitted was the work of the Household Department.

Thinking of this, Li Yi's murderous intent towards the Registrar intensified.

I'll let you run wild for a few more days. I'll find a chance to kill you in the Hundred Trees Forest!

Li Yi touched the Broken Army Bow on his back and focused his attention on the new recruit assessment.

The assessment will be divided into several categories based on the strengths and affiliations of the new recruits.

The first item is the skills assessment.

Newlyweds can choose one of the assessments to participate in based on their own characteristics, and passing it will suffice.

Whether or not a new employee can pass the assessment depends not only on excelling in a particular assessment, but also on their overall performance across several assessments.

Only mediocre people who are completely useless will fail the assessment.

Li Yi's choice was naturally the archery skills test!

Soon, more than a hundred people, both newcomers and veterans, who had chosen to take the archery test, arrived at the testing site.

The archery skills assessment is divided into two parts: archery from 100 paces and archery while moving.

There were wooden targets, each marked with a circle, placed a hundred paces away.

The archers participating in the assessment stood in a line, ten to a group, each holding their longbow.

The rules for this assessment are simple: stand on a line and shoot at a wooden target a hundred paces away.

Each person has ten arrows; the higher the total score, the higher the score!

This rule is basically no different from the rules of archery competitions in Li Yi's previous life.

"These newcomers are pretty average!"

Among the first four groups of new recruits participating in the assessment, some even dragged their targets.

The best score was only 91 rings.

Suddenly, Li Yi's gaze sharpened as he saw a wiry, lean man with thick arms staring at him from the fifth group.

After a moment's thought, Li Yi remembered that he had seen this person before!

Just the day before yesterday, when I went to Cao Li's tent, this lean man was among the men who surrounded me with knives.

It seems this person is one of Cao Li's men!

Li Yi's heart tightened, and he carefully observed the man.

The man walked unhurriedly to the white line. After the examiner announced the start, his hand moved like lightning, taking an arrow from the quiver and instantly shooting it straight at the target.

The lean man didn't even look at it, and immediately took out another arrow from his quiver, nocked another arrow, and shot it again.

In an instant, ten arrows streaked through the air like shooting stars, almost like a barrage of bullets, striking the wooden target with several thuds.

In an instant, everyone in the examination room was amazed.

Li Yi looked closely and saw a round hole the size of a finger in the center of the wooden target!

The lean man not only hit the bullseye with all ten arrows, but also in the same spot each time; the continuous stream of arrows even pierced through the wooden target.

Soon, an old soldier in charge of checking the results called out to the adults:

"Veteran Zhang Lin, ten arrows, all hit the bullseye! 100 rings!"

One hundred rings!

Everyone was already amazed by Zhang Lin's archery skills, and now that the results have been announced, they are in an uproar.

Wu Chuansheng, who was not far away, was slightly taken aback, and then looked at Li Yi with a hint of concern and doubt in his eyes.

Seeing this, Li Yi nodded slightly and gave Wu Chuansheng an approving look.

That look reassured Wu Chuansheng, and he immediately ordered one of his veteran soldiers to walk deeper into the camp.

Zhang Lin's achievements weighed heavily on the hearts of many newcomers, like a mountain.

Even when one of the subsequent groups of new recruits achieved a score of 95 rings, it did not attract much attention.

"Group Nine! Step forward for assessment!"

It's my turn!

Li Yi slowly exhaled, took the Broken Army Bow in his hand, and walked slowly towards the white line.

Just a hundred paces away, ten brand-new wooden targets stood quietly in place.

Li Yi turned his head slightly and saw Zhang Lin standing in the crowd, also looking at him.

Sure enough, Zhang Lin came for me!

"I can guarantee you'll get first place, or I can prevent you from getting it!"

Li Yi remembered what Cao Li had said the day before yesterday.

This veteran Zhang Lin was probably sent by Cao Li specifically to suppress him.

But so what?

They're just supporting characters to set me off!

Li Yi was quite confident. He quietly activated the [Swift Breathing Technique], making his senses and perception even more agile.

The wooden target in the distance became clearer in Li Yi's eyes.

"start!"

Upon hearing the command, Li Yi swept his hand across the quiver, nocked an arrow, and fired it with a swift motion.

The moment the arrow was released, Li Yi's hand had already reached over the quiver and nocked the second arrow onto the bow.

shhhhhh!

With a series of shots, Li Yi had fired all his arrows.

Call ~

With the Broken Army Bow slung behind his back, Li Yi turned around and walked off the field.

"Newcomer Li Yi, ten arrows, all hit the bullseye! 100 rings!"

The veteran checking the results held up the wooden target pierced by an arrow and shouted in shock.

Zhang Lin was a well-known veteran archer in the army, and scoring 100 rings was not unusual for him.

But he didn't expect that Li Yi, a newcomer, could achieve the same results!

Immediately, an even more heated discussion erupted in the room.

"This is Li Yi, the 'Cloud Piercing Arrow'!"

"I think he has the makings of someone who could easily get first place in the new recruit assessment!"

"Let me tell you, Li Yi and I are both from Blackstone Town, and my relationship with him..."

The discussion did not affect Li Yi's emotions.

It was only 100 rings. If it weren't for the limited conditions, Li Yi was confident that he could have achieved a better result!

"Kid, you've got some skill, but don't even think about getting first place."

Just as Li Yi walked into the crowd, Zhang Lin said in a low voice.

Hearing Zhang Lin's words, Li Yi paused slightly and said calmly, "Who is number one should be judged by their actual skills, not by empty talk."

After saying that, Li Yi walked straight towards Wu Chuansheng.

After a half-hour wait, the 100-pace target shooting test was finally over.

This assessment included two archers, Zhang Lin and Li Yi, who both scored 100 points, as well as about twenty potential archers who scored 90 points or higher.

"Next up is archery on the move!"

The rules for moving archery are no different from those Li Yi had practiced before.

It tests the archer's reaction speed and shooting speed.

The one who hits the most targets in the shortest time wins first place!

Based on the results of the previous assessment, this grouping is done according to the scores.

Li Yi and Zhang Lin, along with the other ten students with the best scores, were in the same group.

Soon, it was Li Yi's group's turn to begin the assessment.

Ten people were standing at the white line, and ten more people in the distance were holding a bag, ready to launch a moving target.

On both sides, there were also ten people watching the assessment field intently.

They were responsible for checking the grades.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Zhang Lin was standing next to Li Yi.

After exchanging a glance, the two men tacitly took down their longbows and looked intently ahead.

"start!"

With a loud shout, ten people in the distance threw out the bags in their hands, and a flock of sparrows, pigeons and other birds, as well as some floating debris, appeared in mid-air.

shhhhh!

Li Yi heard several arrow whistles.

Seeing this, Li Yi subconsciously glanced to the side and saw Zhang Lin nock two arrows on the bowstring and shoot them out suddenly. In an instant, two sparrows fell to the ground in mid-air.

Zhang Lin can also shoot twice in a row!

Li Yi was startled. In an instant, he realized that he could no longer hide his abilities and had to go all out.

Double Shot Combo Plus Archery Technique!

Li Yi then drew his bow and shot two arrows, causing the two birds in mid-air to fall to the ground.

In an instant, Li Yi and Zhang Lin unleashed a barrage of double shots, the powerful rain of arrows covering the sky and causing many birds to fall to the ground.

Gradually, the eight people in the same group silently put down their bows and arrows, looking at Li Yi and his companion in shock as if they were looking at monsters.

Although Zhang Lin's double shot was quick, it could only hit targets that were close together. If the two targets were too far apart, one arrow would be wasted.

Li Yi's archery fighting technique, however, avoids this drawback.

As a result, by combining archery skills with double shots, Li Yi gradually shot down more targets than Zhang Lin, and even continued to widen the gap.

Realizing this, Zhang Lin sneered, "Kid, I'll show you what a real archer is!"

Zhang Lin's aura suddenly changed, his blood and qi surged like a tide, and he waved his large hands repeatedly, shooting out arrows one after another.

Its rapid rate of fire was so fast that even the veterans responsible for compiling the statistics were overwhelmed.

Wu Chuansheng was furious when he saw Zhang Lin's firing rate had increased by at least half again.

"Zhang Lin, you're a veteran competing against a newbie, and you're even using breathing techniques? Have you no shame?!"

Zhang Lin is a veteran at the fifth level of Body Refinement Realm, and he is also deeply skilled in archery. All the martial arts techniques he practices are related to archery.

With the help of breathing techniques, Zhang Lin's performance improved steadily, even surpassing Li Yi's.

Seeing Zhang Lin's arrows becoming increasingly swift, Li Yi suddenly felt a surge of pressure.

I can't lose!

Both Hu Cao and Cao Li were secretly watching him closely!

If we lose, we'll lose our lives!

Li Yi couldn't help but think of Li Xin, Li Yue, and the Liu Ru and Liu Fang sisters.

"This first place can only be mine!"

Li Yi shouted loudly, took three arrows straight from the quiver, and drew his bow to shoot them into the air!

Double Shot Advanced!

Three shots in quick succession!

Three arrows, like shooting stars, streaked through the air and instantly killed the three pigeons!
