Demon Star, how many dragon power critical strikes can we perform with our stored dragon power? Sauron asked.
Many, many times. Demon Star replied.
Last time even after more than a hundred dragon power critical strikes Demon Star had not said many times, yet this time he actually used many, many.
How can there be so many? Sauron asked. Along the way although I shot and killed dozens of bandits and no fewer than a hundred wild beasts their levels were all quite low. I could not devour much dragon power.
Have you forgotten that female priestess inside the heavenly tomb? Demon Star said. Although she was a mental type saintess she was not completely without dragon power. So we still devoured quite a bit of dragon power. It was just that compared to the mental power it was completely insignificant.
The situation at that time had been too urgent. On the way back to Coastal City Demon Star had indeed mentioned it once. Killing that saintess from the heavenly tomb had allowed them to devour part of her dragon power. If this portion of dragon power were used to raise cultivation the effect would not be obvious. However accumulating it for dragon power critical strikes would be very effective.
What about mental power? How many shots can it support? Sauron asked.
Even more. Demon Star said directly.
The mental power of that female priestess from the heavenly tomb had truly been terrifying. It was almost equivalent to nearly ten shadow spider queens. After Sauron devoured her mental power most of it had been used to transform his mental talent, directly raising Saurons mental talent to 8.7.
But the remaining mental power, while perhaps not enough to raise talent further, was completely massive when used for combat.
These dragon power and mental power were the capital of Saurons absolute confidence in the competition.
Sauron had looked carefully. Among the nine people participating in the archery test this time one was a mid rank warrior archer named Fen Mo.
The remaining seven were basically all high rank warrior archers. Only Sauron was barely at the level of a third rank warrior archer.
…
The person in charge of this archery test was the leader of the Silver Wolf Legions archer camp, named Yuan Jie.
Prepare. Yuan Jie shouted loudly.
Immediately the nine people present all neatly drew their bows. All were four hundred and fifty jin strong bows.
Yes, four hundred and fifty jin bows. This had already exceeded Saurons maximum endurance. With his own body strength he could not draw it open. His arm strength at most could only draw a three hundred jin strong bow.
Being able to draw a four hundred and fifty jin strong bow with ones own strength was already the level of a sixth rank warrior archer.
Therefore the threshold for this archery test was sixth rank warrior archer. According to real level Sauron could not even cross the threshold.
He took a deep breath and suddenly erupted with dragon power. Instantly he easily drew open the four hundred and ten jin strong bow.
Whoosh. The signal arrow sounded.
Swish, swish, swish, swish…
Immediately the eight warrior archers present except Sauron almost raised their hands and shot.
For them the first arrow of this fixed target shooting almost did not require mental power to aim because they had already locked on and aimed before even raising their hands.
Bang bang bang bang… Without exception all hit the bullseye.
Sauron took a deep breath, locked on with mental power, aimed, and shot.
Swish… He shot out fiercely and hit the bullseye.
Although Sauron had already been very fast, from start to finish no more than two seconds, he was still the slowest to release his arrow. But his opponents shot as soon as they raised their hands so at the beginning he appeared almost behind.
The archer camp leader Yuan Jie in charge of supervision glanced at Sauron. In his heart Saurons elimination had already become inevitable and he felt quite regretful inside.
At this time Sauron was disguised as a nearly forty year old burly man unlike the others who were all young and handsome youths. So in his view Sauron truly wanted to join the Silver Wolf Legion and was not coming for Miss Yan Nai Er.
Therefore he very much wanted to let Sauron join and become one under his command. Because these young men who came for Miss Yan Nai Er would definitely leave once they saw no hope of marrying her. The rough burly man in front of him named Lan Ling looked like he was sincerely coming to develop in the Silver Wolf Legion.
But the higher ups had already set the rule in stone. This time only two out of nine would be taken and he could not go against it.
In the royal city academy graduation grand exam every arrow required a signal arrow and one arrow was shot per signal.
However here there was only one signal arrow and then continuous shooting. As soon as one arrow missed the bullseye the shooter would be immediately eliminated.
Shooting twenty arrows continuously counted as one round. If there was still no result they would proceed to the second round until seven people were eliminated.
…
After hitting the first arrow Sauron released dragon power, drew the bow and nocked the arrow, about to shoot the second strike.
At this moment a sudden exclamation arose from those around and Sauron also paused and looked up.
Then he saw an incomparably stunning scene.
That Fen Mo had actually performed the most astonishing chain arrows.
Swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish…
After the first arrow shot out there was almost no pause. He shot the second arrow, the third arrow, the fourth arrow, the fifth arrow…
A total of twenty arrows, all shot in less than four seconds from start to finish.
And all hit the bullseye.
Sauron concentrated his mental power and was shocked to discover that the twenty chain arrows shot by this person actually seemed to form a straight line in the air.
This was truly too astonishing.
At such fast speed there was completely no time to use mental power to lock on and aim.
There was only one explanation. This person was a natural archer with divine shooting talent and could truly shoot completely by feel.
Such a person was very terrifying. He did not need too high mental power yet could hit every shot.
And such people were truly one in a million. He would not cultivate any other martial dao and would only focus on the arrow dao. No matter which countrys army such a person was placed in they would be a priceless treasure.
Everyone present was completely stunned.
The supervising archer leader Yuan Jie also had his eyes suddenly brighten. To actually have a genius with divine shooting talent appear was truly too astonishing.
Geniuses with divine shooting talent were far too rare in the world and this Fen Mo before them was still so young. In a few more years his archery would undoubtedly surpass his own and within five years his cultivation would definitely break through to dragon archer.
Warrior archers were not too valuable but once one became a dragon archer it was completely different.
Whether on the battlefield or in martial dao the value of a dragon archer was completely immeasurable.
If he wholeheartedly stayed to develop in the Silver Wolf Legion then he would unhesitatingly designate him as his successor and promote him to leader of the archer camp.
Even if he could advance to dragon archer within a few years then he would be worthy of the young miss. And once he married Yan Nai Er he would become the next Wolf King of the Silver Wolf Legion.
In an instant Fen Mos weight in Yuan Jies mind rose infinitely.
Sauron noticed that after Fen Mo finished his twenty chain arrows the remaining competitors present were completely suppressed by him and their eyes clearly showed awe.
A mid rank warrior archer was not scary. Given them enough time they could also reach this level.
But a genius with divine shooting talent was too terrifying. He was almost destined from birth to become a dragon archer.
Once he became a dragon archer he would be buried at the peak of the worlds martial dao. In all the countries of the world even the Divine Dragon Holy Temple he would have a place.
…
Seeing Fen Mos stunning performance suppress the entire field Sauron was immediately stirred with strong competitiveness.
Demon Star, what price do I need to pay to complete nineteen chain arrows? Sauron asked.
Master, is this necessary? Demon Star said. Winning is enough. You do not have divine shooting talent and must rely on mental power to lock on and aim. To complete chain arrows you need to do the same as last time and complete virtual space construction in your mind. Then within the mental illusion perform aiming and shooting and also release a large amount of mental power to slow down the time in the mental world.
Sauron said. How many times the mental power is needed?
More than five times. Demon Star said.
Good, then spend five times the mental power. Sauron said.
A rational person should try to keep a low profile and only seek victory. But Sauron was a very competitive person. Seeing Fen Mos such stunning performance he absolutely refused to fall behind.
Thus he began to reenact the scene from the royal city academy.
First he drew the bow and nocked the arrow but the arrow was not shot. Instead dragon power shot out fiercely.
Because his eyes could see at this time his dragon power easily hit the bullseye and rebounded back. It was captured by Demon Star who calculated the absolute precise data.
Then based on this distance and this height he quickly constructed a virtual space in his mind.
Inside the virtual space there was still only Sauron and the arrow target.
Next Saurons shooting no longer needed his eyes. All aiming was completed in the virtual space inside his mind.
Moreover he released several times the mental power to slow down the time in the mental world several times. He clearly used two seconds to aim but in reality it was less than half a second.
…
Thus a strange scene appeared on the field.
The strongest Fen Mo had already completed twenty arrows and stood to the side resting with eyes closed. The remaining seven people also continuously shot and continuously hit.
Only Sauron alone held the bow raised yet did not shoot for a long time.
Archer leader Yuan Jie secretly shook his head in his heart. This Lan Lings mental quality was truly too poor. He had been completely suppressed by Fen Mos genius performance. He had taken so long to aim the second arrow purely because of mental unrest.
It seemed his elimination had become a foregone conclusion. Yuan Jie could even be certain that this Lan Ling before him could not even hit with the second arrow because he had been suppressed by Fen Mo.
However at this moment.
Swish… Sauron shot the second arrow and instantly hit the bullseye.
Archer leader Yuan Jie was stunned then let out a breath of relief. As long as this Lan Ling overcame this mental difficulty then his subsequent performance could still be somewhat expected.
But what he completely did not expect was that an incomparably stunning scene happened once again.
Chain arrows, it was chain arrows again.
Swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish…
Almost without pause Sauron shot the second arrow, the third arrow, the fourth arrow…
In less than four seconds he shot out all the remaining nineteen arrows.
These nineteen arrows also almost formed a straight line in the air.
Bang bang bang bang… Then dense sounds like raindrops smashing into pits rang out.
These nineteen arrows instantly all embedded in the bullseye.
A hundred shots, a hundred hits, all accurate.
In an instant the air on the field almost seemed to freeze.
The other several archers present all stopped shooting and looked towards Sauron. Their gazes were filled with awe and almost despair.
And Fen Mo who had been lazily resting with eyes closed also suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked towards Sauron with a gaze full of astonishment.
And the most astonished of all completely belonged to archer leader Yuan Jie. He instantly opened his eyes to the maximum and looked at Sauron in complete disbelief.
Another one? Another genius with divine shooting talent had appeared?
Earlier he had still thought Sauron was destined to be eliminated. He had still thought Sauron had been suppressed by Fen Mo so the second arrow had not been shot for so long. He had not expected that he had been stirred with competitiveness and was therefore brewing to perform nineteen chain arrows.
Geniuses with divine shooting talent were truly one in a million. He had not expected to see two today and right here in the Silver Wolf Legion.
Too, too stunning.
Then was there still any need for the competition to continue? Out of nine people two were to be taken yet two geniuses with divine shooting had appeared. The remaining seven had no need to shoot anymore.
The gap between mortals and geniuses could not be made up by effort alone.
At this moment urgent hoofbeats sounded outside the military camp.
Miss Yan Nai Er has returned. Then a commotion arose inside the camp.
Saurons heart also jumped. Yan Nai Er had returned to camp. Was this number one beauty of the border, this woman who had once been madly infatuated with Sauron, finally about to appear?
Towards Yan Nai Er he had only seen her portrait. At this moment he really wanted to see exactly how beautiful she was to be hailed as the number one beauty of the border.
Her beauty was even so great that people forgot she was still a woman with extremely strong martial skills.
