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

"What?! It's a three-round burst?!"

"What kind of monster is this?"

"There's such an archery skill?"

The onlookers erupted in uproar, sparking an even more intense discussion.

But Li Yi ignored him, took out three more arrows, nocked them, and aimed them at the target in the sky.

Archery!

With the combination of double shot and archery skills, combining triple shot with archery skills would be a piece of cake for Li Yi at this moment.

With the aid of archery skills, three arrows were shot out instantly, heading towards different targets in mid-air, and hitting all three targets in a short time.

"What?! What kind of archery is that?!"

Zhang Lin, who was standing to the side, was shocked to see this scene.

He had seen an archery genius perform the triple shot technique before, but the fact that the three arrows could hit different targets at the same time was truly astonishing!

That doesn't make any sense at all!

This isn't just genius, this is monster!

Zhang Lin felt a chill run down his spine, but remembering Cao Li's instructions, he gritted his teeth and made a decision in an instant.

Cao Li, the commander, had already given the order, and if it was not completed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Thinking of the consequences, Zhang Lin's eyes narrowed, and his blood and qi surged wildly within his body as if boiling water.

In an instant, the veins on Zhang Lin's arm bulged, and he drew his five-stone bow to its full draw, unleashing a barrage of arrows that instantly killed a flock of birds in front of him.

Zhang Lin was already faster than Li Yi, but now, Zhang Lin's archery hand even left afterimages, far surpassing Li Yi's speed.

"Is Zhang Lin out of his mind? He actually used a secret technique like Blood Explosion!"

Wu Chuansheng, who was watching from the sidelines, immediately recognized that Zhang Lin had used a secret technique from his breathing method to elevate his power to a level that was not in his current realm.

While this may increase combat power in the short term, it will also cause great damage to the body.

The old man Zhang who sold the Broken Army Bow to Li Yi was unable to draw the bow again because he damaged the meridians in his hands by using a secret technique.

Otherwise, with his archery skills, even with a limp, he would still be a powerful archer!

He wouldn't end up destitute and retired, living a secluded life in Sweetwater Lane, spending his days drinking.

Zhang Lin's unusual behavior did not attract Li Yi's attention.

At this moment, Li Yi was in a state of being utterly alone in the world.

Draw the bow, shoot the arrow, draw the bow, shoot the arrow...

At this moment, Li Yi only had these few thoughts in his mind.

Li Yi disregarded everything, including the outcome of the assessment and the coercion from Hu Cao and Cao Li.

If someone knowledgeable were present, they would immediately recognize that Li Yi had entered a state of enlightenment.

With each shot, Li Yi felt that the Broken Army Bow was no longer a bow, but his own hand; and the arrows at his waist were no longer arrows, but his own fingers.

At this moment, the bow and arrow became one with Li Yi.

Man and arrow become one!

This is an extremely high level of archery skill.

If Li Yi were to open his skill panel at this moment, he would see that his archery skill experience points were constantly increasing.

It was unclear how much time had passed; so long that the only sound in the camp was the sound of Li Yi shooting arrows, with no other noise whatsoever.

"Is it empty?"

Li Yi reached for his waist, but missed.

The arrows in the quiver are gone?

Li Yi's mind raced, and he saw that the arrows in the quiver had been fired, and in front of him lay countless twitching birds.

Looking again, I saw that Zhang Lin's face was flushed and his hands were trembling uncontrollably.

Are you alright?

Seeing that Li Yi had stopped shooting arrows, Wu Chuansheng and Han Jia rushed over and looked at Li Yi with concern.

The genuine concern on their faces warmed Li Yi's heart, and he subconsciously hid his hands in his sleeves.

"I'm fine. I just had a lucky insight and my archery skills have improved slightly."

Li Yi gave a brief explanation and then turned his gaze to the veteran in charge of the assessment.

The squad leader's gaze darted back and forth between Li Yi and Zhang Lin, his eyes filled with shock.

"Veteran Zhang Lin, hit target 119!"

hiss!

Everyone gasped!

In this group of ten, there are a total of 500 targets, with each person aiming for 50 targets. To pass the assessment, one must hit at least half of them.

Zhang Lin not only hit all fifty of his shots, but also stole the targets from others.

While everyone was still in shock, the sergeant's inexplicable expression did not disappear.

After taking a deep breath, the corporal shouted:

"Newcomer Li Yi, hit target 122!"

As the corporal spoke, the area fell silent for a moment, but the next second, the entire camp erupted in a burst of activity.

Countless screams of "Holy crap!" echoed throughout the room.

Newcomer Li Yi surprisingly overpowered veteran Zhang Lin, who was at the third level of body refinement, by a narrow margin, despite Zhang Lin using a secret technique!

Moreover, they even surpassed Zhang Lin in archery, Zhang Lin's forte!

"Li Yi, you're really something!"

Upon hearing the answer announced by the sergeant, Wu Chuansheng breathed a sigh of relief and playfully punched Li Yi with his fist.

"It's all just luck, luck, luck."

Defeating Zhang Lin brought Li Yi a sigh of relief.

Han Jia, standing beside him, seeing everyone discussing Li Yi's incredible triple shot, suddenly shouted:

"Li Yi, the Arrow Piercing the Clouds!"

"Li Yi, the Arrow Piercing the Clouds!"

Han Jia possessed superhuman strength and an extremely loud voice. With a roar, he silenced the noisy crowd.

Under the deliberate guidance of Han Jia, these newcomers subconsciously followed suit and shouted.

The name of Li Yi, the "Arrow Piercing the Clouds," resounded throughout the military camp.

Looking at Han Jia, who was guiding the crowd, Li Yi smiled with satisfaction.

This Han Jia is quite perceptive; he's lived up to the experience he imparted to the cultivator.

With Li Yi's outstanding performance as a precedent, the remaining competitions became dull and uninteresting. After about an hour, the moving archery test was completely over.

At this point, the scores of everyone who participated in the assessment were tallied.

The sergeant stood in front of the crowd, a hint of shock still lingering on his face.

"In the first category of this new recruit assessment, archery, Li Yi comes in first place!"

Li Yi is the best archer!

No one was too surprised when the sergeant announced it.

When Li Yi displayed his triple shot and archery skills, everyone knew that he was the undisputed champion.

In an instant, people, whether they knew him or not, were all congratulating Li Yi.

Behind the tent in the distance, Song Qi frowned and looked quite grim as he watched Li Yi being protected by Wu Chuansheng and Han Jia.

"I never expected Li Yi to have such talent in archery. I must report this to Cao Sima!"

Perhaps due to the [reconnaissance concealment], Li Yi vaguely felt that someone was spying on him.

But when he looked in the direction of Song Qi, he didn't find anything.

After receiving congratulations from everyone, Li Yi returned to his tent.

After taking down and putting away the Broken Army Bow, quiver, and other items, Li Yi felt utterly exhausted.

However, thinking about the state of complete emptiness he was in during the assessment, Li Yi became extremely excited and quickly opened the skill panel.

Archery (Proficiency): 290/1600

[Effect: Drawing the Five Stone Bow can be combined with breathing techniques to master the Swift Arrow]

"I never expected that my match with Zhang Lin would not only allow me to break through to the mastery level, but also give me a lot of experience during my enlightenment!"

Looking at the skill panel, Li Yi was very satisfied.

According to this panel, if the archery skill is upgraded again, the power of the [Swift Breathing Technique] can be incorporated into the arrow, allowing for even more powerful archery techniques.

Based on Li Yi's guess, this Gale Arrow should be something like a combat technique, representing a breakthrough in the level of power.

Suddenly, Li Yi felt even more motivated and even wanted to go out and continue his archery training right now.

But the thought of this darkened Li Yi's expression.

While mastering the triple shot technique and firing arrows in succession, Li Yi defeated Zhang Lin, but his old arm injury also flared up again.

Li Yi's right hand now has a slight crack at the base of his thumb, and his meridians are also damaged.

To some extent, Li Yi's combat effectiveness was affected.

"Forget it, let's practice breathing techniques first. Archery is a means of self-defense, but breathing techniques are fundamental!"

After this period of practice, Li Yi has made rapid progress in the art of breathing techniques.

【Swift Breathing Technique (Beginner): 187/200】

[Effects: Improves hearing and vision, and enhances vitality like a wolf]

With further practice, one can master the breathing technique.

Meanwhile, Li Yi's own blood and qi were becoming increasingly vigorous through continuous cultivation. According to Li Yi's estimation, he was now only one step away from the first level of body refinement, the Blood Strengthening Realm.

Who knows, at some point, he might suddenly break through that barrier and reach the first level of Body Refinement, the Blood Strengthening Realm.

The Blood Strengthening Realm is the starting point of cultivation. The most obvious sign of entering this realm is that one's blood and qi will become stronger, and one's strength and physique will improve.

After applying the [Little Spring Breeze Powder] to the wound, Li Yi focused his mind and began practicing breathing techniques.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but when Li Yi opened his eyes again, it was already dark outside.

Hearing the commotion inside the tent, Wu Chuansheng opened the door and strode in, his face beaming with smiles.

Seeing the smile on Wu Chuansheng's face, Li Yi was instantly excited as well.

"How is it?" Li Yi asked in a low voice.

As Li Yi asked the question, Wu Chuansheng took out a small bag from his pocket and handed it to Li Yi:

"This is your share, fourteen taels in total!"

During the first part of the new recruit assessment, some people secretly set up betting games to see who would win first place in the archery competition.

Li Yi was quite confident in his abilities, so he used the Broken Army Bow as collateral, and with Wu Chuansheng's help, they pooled together some money and placed a bet on himself to win first place.

When Zhang Lin got a hundred rings earlier, Wu Chuansheng gave Li Yi a look that seemed to confirm his point.

Taking the small bag, Li Yi took out four taels of silver and handed it to Wu Chuansheng:

"Brother Wu, if it weren't for your hard work, I wouldn't have had the money to bet on myself to win. Take this money and buy some drinks!"

Whether it was buying a bow or working capital, Wu Chuansheng helped me very enthusiastically, so this money should be given.

We can't let our brothers' hard work go to waste!

If everyone makes money, things will last!

After some back and forth, Wu Chuansheng accepted the money.

After accepting the money, Wu Chuansheng looked at Li Yi and solemnly said:

"The results of the second assessment have been announced!"
