"Haa—*achoo~*"
Luo Li woke up early and casually picked up her phone, only to see a video recommendation.
It was from an uploader she had followed for funny edited videos, who was now frequently producing videos about the wilderness survival competition.
Out of curiosity, Luo Li clicked on the uploader's new video.
#Feel the pressure of god-tier archery#
The title was incredibly arrogant, but at the beginning, the screen was completely dark.
Only oppressive music played.
Luo Li turned her phone's brightness to the maximum to make out the figure constantly moving through the jungle.
The dark environment made it impossible to see their face.
Yet, the person's agile movements, as if each step was taken on air.
They didn't seem to walk far, but the surrounding trees were rapidly receding.
Even without seeing the key parts, this figure still held her attention firmly.
Luo Li held her phone, a sense of anticipation rising in her heart, and continued watching.
She saw the young man speed through the rainforest, finding four sources of water without stopping at any of them.
"This is definitely a wilderness survival expert!"
"Bear Grylls? Is this an official promotional video?"
Luo Li sat cross-legged on the bed, muttering to herself.
She could tell that the figure was searching for something.
It wasn't until the fifth water source that she heard the gurgling sound of flowing water and the sound of grass being trampled.
"Hiss—"
"Swoosh—"
The rustling of grass and the sound of an arrow being shot occurred almost simultaneously.
The arrow, not particularly sharp, was roughly made.
It even lacked fletching, making its accuracy poor, wobbling and changing direction in mid-air.
Yet, one could tell from the sound that the arrow had accurately hit an animal.
The sound of the grass being disturbed grew louder.
Luo Li's heart tensed.
She knew this was hunting, hunting at night with poor visibility, and a moving target at that.
It was hard to say if the first shot was pure luck.
But the next second, an arrow was nocked.
The string was drawn, the bow pulled.
Release!
"Swoosh—"
"Swoosh—"
...
Four consecutive shots!
All hits!!!
Headshots!!!
The man, whose face couldn't be seen, pulled five rabbits out of the grass.
Luo Li's eyes widened as she watched this scene.
"Too strong!!!"
"When did Bear Grylls get such precise skills?"
She was astonished.
But the young man didn't stop after hunting; he continued to move through the rainforest, eventually reaching a familiar animal –
A giant python.
Luo Li had seen Yao beat up a giant python earlier that day, so she wasn't unfamiliar with it.
She instantly realized this was a competition, meaning—
This was a contestant?
Which streamer was it?
Realizing this, a certain person immediately came to mind.
Then she dismissed it.
How could that guy…
"But... how did this giant python get itself entangled? It's so dumb, haha!"
Just as she said that, she saw in the video that because the python wouldn't let him approach, the young man actually—
Nocked another arrow!
Finally, a close-up shot.
The background music also became intense at this moment.
The young man drew his bow, and the camera captured his profile.
Even with a crudely made bamboo bow and fire-scorched wooden arrows.
In his hands, they became extremely lethal weapons!
Under the lens, the young man's profile was revealed.
Jiang Fan, with a blank expression and narrowed eyes, was like a hunter eyeing his prey.
Even Luo Li, who claimed not to like him, felt her heart skip a beat at his aura.
The next second, five arrows, carrying the prey, landed precisely in the tree in sync with the music!
So cool!
Luo Li stared blankly at the scene, unable to snap out of it for a long time.
Before her rebellious thoughts could surface, she saw Jiang Fan, annoyed by the python, kick and break two tree trunks as thick as his arms!
"Is this guy cheating! Is he even human?"
The person editing the video probably thought the same, but the next second, the music suddenly turned cheerful.
The python, seeking revenge, lashed out with its tail.
Pretending to thank him, but actually seeking revenge.
The almost mythical aura surrounding Jiang Fan instantly vanished.
His extraordinary archery skills and the strength to break trees with a kick were no match for his last clumsy stumble.
He was indeed cool, but his final goofiness made him seem a little more human.
At least Luo Li felt less resistant to Jiang Fan.
She was delighted and immediately sent the video to her friends' group chat.
After a wave of recommendations, she then reacted, patting her own face, which was hot from excitement.
"Luo Li, what are you thinking? Who knows if what this guy did is real."
"Besides, Yao is true love!!!"
"Right, right, let's go watch Yao..."
She said, opening Shark's live stream, finding Yao's channel, and seeing him sleeping in a tree with no activity for a long time.
She kept thinking about the video she had just watched.
"It's definitely because that uploader edited it so well... anyway, Yao hasn't woken up yet, I'll watch it again."
Saying that, Luo Li quickly clicked on the video and continued watching.
In one morning, the video edited by Zhou Ye overnight exploded!
Even those who hadn't heard of Shark's wilderness survival competition before were attracted by Jiang Fan's divine archery skills after seeing this video.
Using crudely made bows and arrows.
Hitting every shot!
Wherever he aimed, he hit!
It was miraculous!!!
The overall video was so smooth that it felt like a movie specially shot.
"It's good to watch, but this is absolutely impossible! I guarantee it!"
"Fake, it's clearly edited. The uploader can go work at a film studio tomorrow, and the guy in the video acted well too."
"This kind of bow and arrow, I only played with it as a kid. Being able to shoot rabbits with it, and even into trees, anyone who believes this has serious issues with their intelligence."
"Can someone that thin break a tree? And interact with a python? The special effects are quite realistic, I'll give them that."
"Honestly, if I hadn't watched it all night yesterday, I would also think it was a movie, but now... God Jiang!!!"
Below the video, viewers who had seen it gave positive feedback, but they all unanimously said it was fake.
Only those who were there last night knew that it was real, that such a person could truly exist.
No, a god!!!
The video, after being released, directly climbed to the real-time trending list of a certain platform within an hour, attracting more viewers.
Among them were professionals.
"Under normal circumstances, kicking down a tree is impossible, but after that tree broke, you can see that it was hollowed out inside."
"The protagonist's muscle movements in the video are correct, at least the scene of kicking the tree corresponds."
"As for his archery skills, @Olympic Archery Head Coach, Old Liu, come and take a look?"
With such a professional tone, some contrarians wanted to argue that it was whitewashing.
But when they clicked on the main page, the introduction read—
Yang Pengtian: Chinese Wushu athlete, National Level 1 Coach, National Level 1 Referee.
"Can't argue, goodbye!"
