(Third Update) 299: Chapter 299: A Threat?
(Third Update) It definitely wasn’t his first time; this guy definitely wasn’t a first-timer in archery.
As experienced folks, they knew all too well how difficult archery could be.
Especially for beginners, at seventy meters, hitting the target was accomplishment enough, let alone for a first-timer.
You kidding me?
Suddenly, a hint of anger flickered through the eyes of the onlookers.
For heaven’s sake, that’s not how you pretend!
“President Xiong, that’s not very fair of you, who are you trying to fool?
First time, my foot,” someone cursed angrily.
Xiong Lin was also dumbfounded, beginning to doubt seriously at this moment.
But he had never seen Zhang Fan shoot a bow and arrow before?
“Zhang Fan, this isn’t your first time shooting a bow and arrow, right?” Xiong Lin asked.
“It is my first time, much harder than shooting guns,” Zhang Fan replied, frowning.
“Guns?”
Everyone was stunned.
Wow, so you’re a gun enthusiast, huh.
Seeing the somewhat frustrated expression on Zhang Fan’s face, they started to believe him.
If he was an expert with guns, then maybe archery could make sense too.
“Only nine rings?
That can’t be right!”
Zhang Fan looked at the arrows on the target, somewhat dissatisfied, and immediately picked up another arrow, drawing the bowstring!
The onlookers felt like cursing.
Just nine rings?
And he’s not satisfied?
Damn, do you think archery is that easy?
Back in the day, they’d train for a week or two at just twenty meters, and there were still misses, and this is seventy meters we’re talking about.
Just then, Zhang Fan released his hand again.
Whoosh!
All eyes turned to see.
When they saw the arrow pierce the bullseye on the target, they felt like spitting blood from frustration.
Damn, does it have to be this freakish, and on just the second arrow too!
It must be luck!
That’s what the onlookers thought.
“That’s more like it!” Zhang Fan sneered, then once again took out an arrow, nocked it, and drew the bow.
At that moment, Zhang Fan began to enjoy the feeling of archery.
“Thump!”
When they saw the arrow hit the bullseye again, everyone was dumbfounded.
Damn, seriously?
First time doing archery, three shots with twenty-nine rings?
Even they couldn’t guarantee that kind of performance.
Next, Zhang Fan swiftly drew his bow, shooting one arrow after another.
He only stopped when he had filled the bullseye of the target completely with arrows.
“Not bad, feels great.
Not as precise as a gun, but the feel is fantastic,” Zhang Fan said, then clapped his hands.
His lazy demeanor made the surrounding athletes grind their teeth.
Damn, can’t stand it anymore, if I don’t leave, I’ll end up being humiliated.
Years of practicing archery and still not as good as someone with just ten minutes of experience, this is too shameful.
“Let’s go, the outside competition is almost over too.
I really want to hurry to the match, can’t wait to watch Zhao Fen’s face-switching show,” Zhang Fan rubbed his hands, a sly smile on his face chilling everyone’s hearts.
Damn, this guy absolutely can’t be tolerated.
Especially the athletes from other cities were all getting goosebumps.
Thank goodness, Zhang Fan’s target was Zhao Fen, they at least could enjoy the show.
Thinking of this, a group of people’s expressions instantly relaxed.
They were all waiting to watch Zhao Fen’s performance.
When Zhang Fan and his team emerged, the long-distance race had also just ended.
Zhao Fen looked around, and upon seeing Zhang Fan and Xiong Lin, his face immediately took on a mocking expression.
“Haha, how was the warmup?
Hope you won’t fail to hit even the target later,” Zhao Fen came over, saying with a sneering face.
“Actually, I almost missed the target,” Zhang Fan said with a mischievous smile.
As Zhang Fan spoke, the group that came out from the Training Ground kept rolling their eyes.
Damn it, was that almost missing the target?
Except for the first shot, all of them were bullseyes, more like lying to ghosts.
But the next moment, their eyes fell on Zhao Fen, with a look of watching a drama faintly visible in their gaze.
After all, there was no world record to worry about in the archery segment, not as miserable as running.
Otherwise, they might have walked away.
“Haha, almost missed the target?
I bet you’ve never even hit the target!” Zhao Fen sneered.
“Is that so!” At this moment, Xiong Lin was brimming with confidence, especially after witnessing Zhang Fan’s freakish shooting skills; he was now eager for the competition to start.
He also wanted to see the face-changing performance Zhang Fan talked about.
“Let’s get ready, it’s about to start,” Xiong Lin said, then waved his hand to signal someone to hand Zhang Fan the bow and arrow.
Seeing Zhang Fan take the bow and arrow, the audience burst into an uproar.
What the fuck, is Zhang Fan really going to participate in archery?
This is seriously a skill, no matter how fast you can run, if you can’t shoot, you’ll definitely fail!
They just couldn’t believe that Zhang Fan would have time to practice archery.
“My God, what am I seeing, is that person holding the bow and arrows Zhang Fan?” Xiaoxiao exclaimed exaggeratively.
“Idiot!
Are you blind!”
The only response Xiaoxiao got were these five words.
“Go Zhang Fan, shoot them down,” people from the Face-Slapping Squad yelled excitedly.
“Don’t worry, don’t worry!” Zhang Fan waved his hand and said.
Seeing Zhang Fan like this, Zhao Fen’s face once again showed a look of anger.
Sure, just you wait and see what’s coming to you.
“The competition begins!” Zhao Fen yelled through gritted teeth.
At once, a group of athletes headed towards the target range.
“Haha, kid, can you even play archery, don’t shoot someone else by accident, it would be a big joke if someone got killed,” a young man jeered.
“Oh, you dare to stand next to me, aren’t you afraid I might slip and shoot you dead?” Zhang Fan picked up the bow, notched an arrow, pulled it back fully, then immediately aimed at him.
Zhang Fan smirked, then his hands started trembling.
“Brother, get out of the way, get out of the way, I can’t control it, oh no, it’s loosening, get out of the way.”
Instantly, the man’s face went pale, and he threw down his bow and ran off.
“Hahahaha!”
People who had seen Zhang Fan’s archery instantly burst into laughter.
Who the hell did you mess with, provoking Zhang Fan, isn’t that courting death?
“Trash!” Zhang Fan gave a light laugh, and his stretched arms gradually relaxed.
Hearing the laughter around, the man quickly realized what had happened and when he saw Zhang Fan looking at him with a mocking face, fury surged in his eyes.
“You dare to make fun of me!”
“And what?” Zhang Fan taunted back.
“You, fine, just don’t run after the match ends,” the man said through gritted teeth.
“Oh, I’ll be waiting,” Zhang Fan said.
Meanwhile, members of the Face-Slapping Squad who had been watching Zhang Fan’s every move instantly roared.
“That kid, I’ve got my eyes on you, don’t you dare run after the match ends, I’ll fucking kill you.”
“Daring to threaten our Zhang Fan, thinking our Face-Slapping Squad is just hot air?
I’ve already taken your picture, just you wait.”
The man’s gaze turned hollow as he looked towards the Face-Slapping Squad, and when he clearly saw the nearly three hundred people there, his legs started to tremble.
Damn, how does this kid have so many fans!
