Following the address left by the archery range owner last night, Jiang Cheng and Yanran found the place.
The owner of this archery range truly isn't soone driven by profit. It's now clear that his invitation was genuinely out of admiration for Yanran's archery skills, rather than just for money.
Inside the archery range, many people were waiting for them. As Yanran walked in, applause erupted. Among the crowd were so who had witnessed her archery on the town square last night. Yesterday, they only caught a glimpse, so upon hearing that the range had invited this Alien Race girl for a lecture, they excitedly ca over again.
Yanran might usually be a quiet girl, but once archery is ntioned, she becos vibrant and full of spirit. After all, it's her forte and her favorite sport.
Before the lecture began, the archery range owner invited Yanran to perform her skills since so in the audience hadn't seen her performance at the town square the previous night.
Upon the owner's suggestion, everyone was delighted. Even those who had seen Yanran's performance yesterday were excited because, as evening approached, the light had dimd, making it hard to see clearly. Moreover, in a public place like the town square, Yanran couldn't fully showcase her skills.
Jiang Cheng whispered a few words to Yanran, who nodded slightly, then he stepped aside.
The target stood in front of Yanran at a distance. Her left hand held the bow, and with her right hand at her side, her fingers moved slightly.
The audience gathered around her, silent.
Suddenly, Yanran started to move.
It was broad daylight, and the lighting in the archery range was excellent. The audience could clearly see the Alien Race girl drawing arrows, nocking them, pushing the bow, and drawing the string.
With a "ping," the arrow struck the bullseye of the target.
Applause broke out.
Yanran didn't stop there; arrow after arrow flew from her hands, and the audience was once again stunned.
With each shot, she knocked down the previous arrow lodged in the bullseye, yet her arrow would hit the bullseye again precisely.
Novices watched in awe, while experts saw the depth of her skill. The owner of the range and the regulars were speechless with amazent at this Alien Race girl's archery precision and her control over the force.
For instance, the first arrow that hit the bullseye was shot with just the right amount of force to lodge into the target, neither falling out nor going too deep. The second arrow was sent with slightly more force, just enough to knock the first arrow out of the bullseye while claiming the spot.
Those who understood the skill felt deeply moved.
Such control over force was sothing they never even dread of, and yet this young-looking Alien Race girl was doing it effortlessly, which was truly astonishing.
With just one arrow left, Yanran released it, and it flew towards the target like lightning.
With a "thunk," the target split in half under the sheer force of the arrow.
Thunderous applause erupted once more, echoing endlessly.
The archery range owner was so excited he could hardly speak. As a dedicated archery enthusiast, he was deeply proud.
His small archery range was able to invite such an unbelievably skillful expert to perform; witnessing such a display truly made life worthwhile.
After the performance, Yanran bowed to the applauding audience, her deanor once more earning their admiration.
Satisfied with their curiosity satisfied, the audience dispersed, and Yanran's archery lecture officially began.
Besides adults, there were many children present who had just witnessed Yanran's astonishing archery and now eagerly asked her various questions regarding archery.
Yanran is a champion of the intergalactic gas' archery events. Not only does she have remarkable archery skills, but she also has a profound understanding of archery theory. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say her expertise in archery is at a master's level, or even at the top.
So, for every question raised by these archery enthusiasts, she provided fitting guidance.
If necessary, she would even teach enthusiasts hands-on, offering detailed advice on aiming, drawing the bow, and more.
Among them was a young girl, not yet an adult, to whom Yanran gave special attention and guidance.
This little girl, tall and thin, with an unremarkable appearance, was sowhat well-known in the local town.
When she asked Yanran whether archery accuracy relied more on eyesight or intuition, Yanran replied to her.
At first, it's of course about eyesight. Once you've shot thousands of tis, you develop a certain intuition. Of course, this feeling is related to the archer's talent, the correctness of their actions, and their long-term diligent training.
The young girl, excited by Yanran's words, said, "Yes, yes, I felt that. I told my companions," pointing to the archery range owner and others, "that I wasn't aiming for the bullseye when I shot, and they didn't believe ."
Yanran was also a little surprised. After all, the girl was really young, and Yanran asked if she could describe that feeling.
The young girl said her feeling was simple: when facing the target or any shooting goal, she feels that nothing exists between her and her target, and her entire mind and body would be fully engaged.
Given her young age, she couldn't accurately describe her unique feeling.
But Yanran understood. If this young girl could remain dedicated, progressing step by step, in ti, she would achieve astonishing accomplishnts in archery.
Talent is an essential condition for a top athlete.
Yanran's archery had impressed the local archery range owner, who eagerly invited her to give an archery lecture at the range. There, under the insistence of the owner and the audience, Yanran perford her archery skill once more, gaining everyone's approval.
After the lecture concluded, the owner, true to his word, gave Yanran a generous fee, and seeing her using rudintary arrows she made herself, he also gave her a dozen standard arrows at no cost.
As for the bow in Yanran's hand, the owner recognized its value and knew it wasn't an ordinary bow; otherwise, he would have surely given her another bow.
In this session, Jiang Cheng and Yanran returned triumphant.
Indeed, once you beco famous, you can hardly stay idle.
After Jiang Cheng and Yanran finished their al and returned to the inn, they found soone already waiting for them in the hotel lobby. Upon introduction, it turned out to be a local entrepreneur specializing in sports equipnt.
