Chen Nan looked at Guo Yu in disbelief.
He had never expected that Guo Yu would actually help him protect his dharma.
If his archery skills were as formidable as he claimed.
He would have a complete chance to win first place.
This was an excellent opportunity for him.
Although he had previously considered using his spatial domain to cheat, his sister Du Yuan had once told him.
That his domain could not be displayed in front of outsiders.
Especially since Duan Kun and others came from Fengdu City.
Their strength was extraordinary.
If they noticed him using his domain, he would most likely face a mortal peril.
Now, it was good.
With Guo Yu's help, he could still fight for it.
Chen Nan said solemnly, "I owe you a favor, and I will repay it in the future."
A hint of shyness flushed Guo Yu's face. He nodded solemnly, "Okay."
Chen Nan was stunned.
Oh, my god.
It's not...
It's fine if it's fine.
Why are you acting so shy?
"Constable Chen, it's your turn to choose!" an yamen runner said politely.
"Oh, okay." Chen Nan snapped back to attention and chose a recurve bow from the bow rack.
Seeing that the three had chosen their bows and arrows, Han Zongyuan said, "Now I declare that the third round of assessment officially begins."
As soon as he spoke.
The ten scarecrows two hundred meters to the south began to move.
Ma Jun looked at Chen Nan and gave him a contemptuous glance. "Surname Chen, just watch. This time, I will still get a perfect score!"
Saying that, he took an arrow from his quiver.
He nocked the arrow and drew the bowstring in one smooth motion.
Whoosh!
The arrow pierced the air and flew towards a scarecrow two hundred meters away.
And just as the arrow was about to hit a scarecrow.
A faster arrow struck, hitting it.
This scene shocked many.
Shooting at moving targets was already difficult.
Let alone.
Hitting an arrow that was in flight.
This archery skill was truly extraordinary.
Seeing his arrow being shot down.
Ma Jun was furious. He glared at Guo Yu. "Surname Guo, are you looking for death?"
Guo Yu appeared somewhat embarrassed. "It was just a coincidence."
At the same time.
Chen Nan decisively drew his bow.
Pfft!
Two arrows pierced the air simultaneously and hit the moving scarecrows.
The onlookers clapped their hands and cheered.
They were also amazed by Chen Nan's ability to shoot two arrows at once and hit both targets.
It was evident that his archery skills were also superb.
"You're celebrating too early!" Ma Jun snorted, nocked an arrow, drew the bowstring, and shot his second arrow.
As he shot this arrow.
Guo Yu also shot an arrow.
The arrow flew extremely fast and once again shot down Ma Jun's arrow in mid-air.
The fact that his two consecutive shots were intercepted deeply angered Ma Jun. He roared at Guo Yu like a furious lion, "You son of a bitch, you still dare to say it was a coincidence?"
Guo Yu: "No, it was intentional."
Ma Jun's face was filled with disbelief.
No.
You're not even hiding your intentions anymore?
This is bullying!
This is absolute bullying!
After coming to his senses.
He cursed, "I am from the Ma family."
"How dare you target me in a competition?"
"Are you bullying our Ma family?"
"Are you tired of living?"
Guo Yu did not speak.
Instead, he gave Ma Jun a look of disgust and contempt.
The common people in the distance also sneered at Ma Jun.
His public questioning of Guo Yu, asking if he was tired of living, was typical of the arrogant and overbearing nature of a rich young master.
But ironically.
This was a selection for Yin Messengers!
Could a person with such a disposition become a Yin Messenger?
------
On the judges' bench.
Duan Kun said coldly, "Lord Han, that fellow named Guo Yu has violated the rules!"
Han Zongyuan asked calmly, "Where has he violated the rules?"
Duan Kun frowned and said displeasantly, "Didn't you see him shoot down Ma Jun's arrow?"
Han Zongyuan: "I did. Is there a problem?"
Duan Kun suppressed his anger and asked, "Don't you think this is unfair to Ma Jun?"
Han Zongyuan respectfully asked, "May I presume to ask, what is fairness?"
"Is there fairness in this selection of Yin Messengers?"
"You..." Duan Kun was so stunned that his face turned pale, and he was speechless.
He hadn't expected Han Zongyuan to dare to question him.
He took a deep breath and said, "I will report your performance today to His Highness."
"Do as you please!" Han Zongyuan said disdainfully.
He actually wished Duan Kun would report this matter to His Highness.
Because he would definitely not be the one to be punished.
Of course.
He wasn't afraid of being punished either.
His entry into officialdom was merely to conceal his other identity.
To put it bluntly, it was just for fun.
------
Swish, swish, swish!
Chen Nan quickly drew his bow, and arrows shot out.
He was still more than thirty points behind Ma Jun before.
But as time went by.
The points gap was rapidly shrinking.
"Even if you two collude, you won't be able to defeat me!"
Ma Jun was deeply enraged.
He infused his arrows with Yin energy.
He shot an arrow.
The arrow instantly hit a scarecrow.
With the enhancement of Yin energy.
Even if Guo Yu shot with perfect accuracy, it would be difficult to shoot down his arrows.
But as he shot again.
Guo Yu also shot an arrow almost simultaneously.
This time.
He also infused Yin energy.
However, he infused it into the bowstring.
Seeing that the scores were about to be tied.
Duan Kun secretly thought, "This is not good."
If this continued.
Ma Jun's score would definitely be surpassed.
At that point, wouldn't everything he had done before be in vain?
Thinking of this.
He formed a hand seal with one hand.
A rune, imperceptible to the naked eye, flashed like lightning and entered the recurve bow in Guo Yu's hand.
Guo Yu did not see the rune.
But he clearly felt a decay appearing inside the recurve bow.
He angrily looked at Duan Kun on the judges' bench.
He saw a malicious smile spreading across the latter's face.
He cursed the other party for being despicable in his heart.
Then he infused Yin energy into the bow body.
He intended to strengthen the hardness of the bow body.
But as he drew the bow and before the arrow was shot.
Pfft!
With a dull sound.
The recurve bow in his hand instantly shattered into dust!
The sudden turn of events shocked everyone.
No one expected Guo Yu's recurve bow to suddenly shatter.
At this moment.
Even if Chen Nan hit all his arrows at the moving scarecrows.
As long as Ma Jun made no mistakes.
His cumulative score would still be unable to surpass.
"I'm sorry, Brother Chen, I can't help you anymore!" Ma Jun dejectedly put down his shattered recurve bow, his eyes full of frustration.
He wanted to make a last effort.
To help Chen Nan win first place.
But he never expected that this world would be so dark.
Those big figures simply didn't give them a chance to resist.
In the eyes of those big figures,
They completely disregarded the lives and deaths of ordinary people.
Playing with them like ants in their palms.
No matter how hard they tried.
It was difficult to change the final outcome.
He.
Was extremely disappointed!
Chen Nan glanced at Ma Jun, who was gloating, a cold glint flashed in his eyes. "Don't worry, I can defeat that guy and I won't let your previous efforts go to waste!"
He hadn't intended to use his spatial domain.
But now.
Did he have any other choice?
