Chapter 27: The bow is drawn to its fullest extent, the central ring, a human-shaped murder weapon!
"Brother Qin is mistaken!"
"Everyone knows that Lord Lin is highly skilled in martial arts; how can the target be placed a hundred paces away?"
"Move within fifty paces immediately, otherwise if Lord Lin misses his target, we can't afford the consequences!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Changsun Chong also sneered, the two working together seamlessly.
The soldiers immediately burst into laughter!
They mocked Lord Lin, saying he was not even as good as a child.
Although the voice was soft, every word reached Lin Chuan's ears.
"This general will not make things difficult for you!"
"If you hit the bullseye three times within fifty paces and ten arrows, you win!"
Li Ying, a singer, arrived carrying a powerful bow with two stones, and immediately added a line.
Last time he went hunting in the suburbs, Lin Chuan couldn't even draw two stone bows. What skills could he possibly have?
She wanted to embarrass Lin Chuan in public in order to quell her anger.
In the distance, Lin Chuan remained silent throughout, simply watching their performance with a cold eye.
"General Li, please."
Lin Chuan finally spoke, signaling Li Yingge to shoot first.
Li Yingge gave a cold laugh without any politeness and immediately drew her bow and nocked an arrow!
"call out--"
From a hundred paces away, an arrow struck the bullseye.
"General, you are mighty!"
"Yingge is truly amazing!"
The crowd immediately cheered.
Lin Chuan secretly admitted that Li Yingge was indeed exceptionally skilled, surpassing many men.
"Lord Lin, the bow is ready."
"This light bow was specially prepared for you; you'll definitely be able to use it with ease."
A moment later, the soldier returned carrying a large bow, which was so light that even a child could easily lift it.
This is a blatant insult!
"The market is open! The market is open!"
"Odds of 1 to 100!"
"I bet he'll miss the target and not get a single ring in."
"I bet he can hit the fifth ring."
"I bet Lord Lin won't even be able to touch the target."
Changsun Chong spoke up sarcastically.
He and Lin Chuan had always been at odds, and he spoke to each other without any politeness.
Lin Chuan glanced at Li Yingge in the distance.
He did not take the light bow offered by the soldier, but went straight to the weapons display shelf.
Everyone was surprised and didn't understand what he wanted to do.
Lin Chuan stopped in front of a giant bow, and everyone's expression changed drastically!
This bow weighs three stones, and even Li Yingge, besides Cheng Tieniu, had a hard time pulling it.
Is he really going to use this bow?
Lin Chuan's lips curled into a disdainful smile: "Get out of the way, I'm about to show off!"
A large bow, taut with cowhide and tendons, lay horizontally on the frame.
This is a large bow weighing three stones!
Lin Chuan stood in front of him with a mocking smile on his face.
His goal was to use this large bow to see who was better.
"Heh, Lord Lin is indeed arrogant, always striving to be number one in everything!"
In the distance, Changsun Chong chuckled, thinking Lin Chuan was too arrogant.
But arrogance needs to be backed by strength!
Even a two-stone bow is almost too much for you, how could you possibly handle a three-stone bow!
"Hmph, what are you doing, pretending to be an elephant with a scallion stuck in your nose!"
"If he can lift this bow, I'll walk backwards!"
Qin Huaidao stood aside and mocked Lin Chuan's behavior, looking down on him.
Cheng Tieniu's eyes widened. He believed himself to be invincible in strength and did not believe that anyone could surpass him!
Li Yingge had a serious expression, crossed her arms, and waited to see what kind of trouble Lin Chuan would cause.
The next second, everyone was stunned!
Lin Chuan touched the large bow, but didn't intend to lift it. Instead, he turned to ask Li Yingge, who was in the distance.
"I won, but you have to grant me one request!"
"Thump—"
Everyone immediately collapsed to the ground, their faces filled with helplessness.
Why don't you raise the bow first?
To claim you're guaranteed to win before the match has even started is incredibly arrogant!
That's utterly arrogant!
"Lin Chuan, don't be so arrogant!"
"You really think you can win? I bet you can't even lift a bow!"
Qin Huaidao gritted his teeth in anger; this man was too good at pretending.
"Can!"
In the distance, Li Yingge smiled and nodded.
She found it very interesting.
Regardless of whether Lin Chuan can lift the bow, in terms of archery skills alone, apart from those founding fathers, who can compare to her?
"But you lost. You have to do whatever I tell you to do!"
Li Yingge immediately changed her attitude. She was just worried about not having a chance to teach this kid a lesson, but he actually delivered himself to her doorstep.
"Don't hesitate any longer, take action now!"
Changsun Chong urged, eager to see Lin Chuan get a lesson from Li Yingge.
Lin Chuan completely disregarded them.
He greeted Li Yingge proactively because the system had just assigned him a task.
This task was actually to have him "check in" with Li Yingge. !
Li Yingge is such a fierce woman, you can't even touch a tiger's tail, you have to be careful.
Lin Chuan then turned to the giant bow on the frame.
He kicked out suddenly, the frame shook violently, and the large bow immediately flew into the air.
"Splash—"
Everyone stared in disbelief.
"Hiss, this can't be!"
"Am I seeing things? When did he become so strong?"
"Are you sure that large bow is a three-stone bow and not made of paper?"
Changsun Chong and the others were all dumbfounded, their faces filled with shock.
The soldiers around them also looked horrified!
"Absolutely impossible!"
Li Yingge was restless at this moment, her eyebrows trembling violently.
That kick proved that Lin Chuan possessed immense strength; he couldn't possibly lift such a heavy bow.
She was panicking, but could only comfort herself: it's just a hallucination!
It must be a hallucination!
Even if he could lift it, he would definitely be at his limit.
It's impossible for you to hit the bullseye, and it's even more impossible for you to beat me.
But the next second, everyone was stunned.
As the giant bow fell, Lin Chuan caught it steadily with one hand.
He not only raised the bow, but also wielded it with ease, without any effort.
He not only raised the bow, but also wielded it with ease, without any effort.
"Brother Tie Niu, is this really going to work?"
All eyes immediately turned to Cheng Tieniu, who nervously swallowed.
"Yes, of course."
Cheng Tieniu immediately answered loudly, but his voice betrayed his unease.
Before everyone could recover from their shock, Lin Chuan had already drawn his bow to its fullest extent in the distance.
He stood two hundred paces away, a distance that left everyone speechless.
"Whoosh—"
The bowstring was released, the arrow flew out, and hit the bullseye.
"Thump!"
Lin Chuan casually tossed away the large bow, and a crack immediately appeared in the ground.
There was complete silence all around.
Everyone was so shocked that their mouths dropped open and their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
"It was pure luck."
Lin Chuan laughed and said that his manner made it seem like he didn't take the matter to heart at all.
"General Li keeps his word."
Lin Chuan looked at Li Yingge again, his smile becoming even wider.
All eyes immediately turned to them.
Li Yingge's face turned pale, and she was extremely shocked, unable to believe what she was seeing.
This is absurd!
"Hmph, you're just lucky, you don't have any real skills."
"The game isn't over yet!"
Qin Huaidao stepped forward and spoke in a low voice.
He was a supporter of Li Yingge and would never let her be bullied by Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan will definitely make excessive demands.
"Yes, this match isn't just between you and General Li."
Changsun Chong quickly added.
He hadn't expected Lin Chuan to be able to draw a three-stone bow and hit the bullseye two hundred paces away.
Fortunately, Princess Chang Le didn't come, otherwise she would definitely admire Lin Chuan even more.
"Tie Niu, charge!"
Qin Huaidao immediately ordered Cheng Tieniu to take action.
He is Cheng Zhijie's son, and he is extremely strong!
Lin Chuan was just lucky; there was definitely something wrong with that big bow!
Without waiting for anyone to urge him, Cheng Tieniu strode up.
He met the emperor and was known as the greatest warrior of the Tang Dynasty.
This honor must not be taken away by a eunuch.
"Kid, do you dare to fight me?"
He glared at Lin Chuan and roared.
