Martial Master

"Cheer up, let's break into the Martial Competition together."

Qin Chen smiled slightly.

"Hoo!"

He gently stepped onto the platform, standing steadily with the other twenty individuals, his expression calm.

Holding a fifty-stone strong bow in his hand, Qin Chen nocked an arrow, pulled the bowstring lightly, and with a hum, the bow formed a half-moon shape.

"Haha, just a half-moon draw, trash is indeed trash."

"With that strength, there's no way he can pass the assessment."

"Hehe, you can't say that, maybe he's doing it on purpose, afraid of meeting us in the next round if he passes."

"Makes sense, hehe, coward."

Qin Fen and a few students beside him mocked recklessly.

In another area where the students were gathered, Li Qingfeng said unexpectedly, "Wei Zhen, is he really the one you want me to teach a lesson?"

"Qin Chen's strength is definitely more than just this." Wei Zhen frowned, staring at Qin Chen in confusion.

He knew very well that Qin Chen's strength was far beyond this, and there was no way he couldn't draw a fifty-stone strong bow.

But now...

Could it be that he was really afraid of Qin Fen and didn't dare to pass even the first round of the assessment?

While everyone was puzzled.

"Bong!"

Qin Chen had already released the bowstring, shooting the iron arrow.

The black iron arrow shot out like lightning!

"Poof!"

To everyone's surprise, the iron arrow, drawn only to a half-moon, hit the bullseye, with a third of the arrowhead piercing into the iron target, firmly wedged in.

At this moment, Qin Chen had already put down the iron bow and returned to the team.

"My goodness, Qin Chen's luck is too good, the arrowhead pierced exactly a third into the bullseye, it almost fell off!"

"Half-moon, he passed the assessment with just a half-moon draw? This is..."

"What exactly is going on? I drew a full moon before and the iron arrow still fell out, yet Qin Chen only drew a half-moon, how..."

"I'm so envious I could spit blood, it's too unfair."

A group of students shouted indignantly, Qin Chen's luck was too good. Previously, many of them couldn't muster the strength to draw a full moon; even if they did, the iron arrow fell out of the iron target.

But now, Qin Chen managed to keep the iron arrow on the target with just a half-moon draw. Many felt so frustrated they could spit blood.

"What exquisite control, this child is not simple." Amongst the crowd's discussions, Lingwu King Xiao Zhan's previously idle expression suddenly became serious, his sharp eyes shooting out a stern gleam.

"Indeed, not simple." Beside him, Principal Zhu Weichen also looked serious, staring at the target for a long time, growing more astonished the more he looked.

"You noticed it too?" Xiao Zhan asked in a deep voice.

Zhu Weichen, shocked, said, "To shoot a ten-pound iron arrow into an iron target, generally speaking, at least the strength of five horses is required, which means drawing the iron bow into a full moon. However, Qin Chen's arrow just now was only shot with thirty stones of strength, or three horses, yet it cleverly pierced into the iron target due to a rotational force attached to the arrowhead. This rotational force doubled the arrow’s penetration power, allowing it to pierce the target. But..."

Zhu Weichen frowned, "At his age and level, he shouldn't be able to achieve this, right? It's really hard to believe this was intentional. Could it have been a lucky shot?"

"If he intentionally shot it like that, then his control over power might have reached an astonishing level, one that even peak Earth Level martial artists may not achieve."

"Interesting, more and more interesting." Xiao Zhan suddenly laughed, "The emperor gave me such a challenging task, I was worried I couldn't complete it, but now it seems surprises do exist."

"You haven't chosen him, have you?"

"It's still too early to say, let's continue watching." Xiao Zhan said with a slight smile.

Not far away, Prince Kang smiled and said, "Master Liang, Qin Chen's luck is really good."

Though Prince Kang was also a top expert, he couldn't discern the subtleties as clearly as Lingwu King Xiao Zhan and the others.
