Chapter 163: Chapter 37 Batron Festival_4
"Bravo!" Applause sounded from all directions, the surrounding Alyano tribe members burst into cheers. They all watched the boy from the alien race with excitement. This not-very-brawny alien was able to draw their divine bow; how could they not be thrilled? Ah Dai’s hand was slightly trembling; he had used his full strength. He loosened his right hand; the arrow shot out like a meteor chasing the moon, leaving a faint lingering image in the air. Everyone’s eyes involuntarily turned to Ah Dai’s target. However, what they didn’t know was that this was Ah Dai’s first time shooting an arrow. The arrow did successfully shoot out and maintain a straight course, yet it was off aim considerably.
With a massive "boom", everyone was dumbfounded to see target number seven blasted to smithereens. Ah Dai had exhausted himself shooting that arrow. After it was released, it felt like all his strength had been drained. He was squatting on the ground, panting heavily, his overdrawn strength preventing him from recovering for a while. It was impossible for him to shoot a second arrow. The bow was a good one, but the arrow was too average; otherwise, it wouldn’t have exploded instead of penetrating the target.
Xuan Yue excitedly ran over, at this point, no one had the mind to stop her. She took Ah Dai’s hand and said, "Dai Dai, you’re fantastic! You said you can’t shoot arrows, look, you even blasted the target away." Yan Shi also walked over, took the Ferrous Bow from Ah Dai’s hand, lightly pulled it once, and couldn’t help but shudder with astonishment, said: "What a powerful bow!"
The referee said with some difficulty, "Player number forty-eight, zero points for your first arrow. Do you want to continue?"
Xuan Yue was surprised and said, "What? Are you mistaken? Even if the target was blown apart, the score can’t be zero."
The referee gave a bitter smile, "If he had blown up his own target, I would have given him a full score of ten. Unfortunately, he hit someone else’s target at spot number seven."
Only then did Xuan Yue notice that Ah Dai was in the eighth position, and was immediately speechless. At this time, with the influence of True Qi, Ah Dai had basically recovered and stood up, he said: "I’m sorry, Yue Yue, the draw weight of this bow is too great. I’m afraid I can’t draw the second bow." His right arm was slightly injured because he didn’t use all his strength at first. Even if he was fully energized, it would be impossible to pull this hard bow twice in a row.
Xuan Yue looked down at Ah Dai, who seemed to have made a mistake, and couldn’t help feeling sorry for him. She held Ah Dai’s hand, "It’s alright; it doesn’t matter if we can’t do it, we don’t have to win the competition."
Ah Dai looked into Xuan Yue’s concerned eyes, and decisively said to the referee, "I forfeit."
His words stunned the crowd, and there was an uproar. The referee said, "Young man, you can try a lighter bow!"
Ah Dai gave a wry smile, "No need, my archery is really terrible, it would be bad if I hit someone again." After that, holding Xuan Yue’s hand, he left the playing field.
When they reached a deserted area, Ah Dai finally stopped. He sat down on the ground, "That bow was really tough; the Alyano tribe is amazing!"
"Well done, brother, even I must admire your strength. Not just anyone can draw that bow. I just tried it and to pull the bow fully open, at least three thousand pounds of force is needed. That is something I can’t do, it seems that your strength has improved again. If I’m not wrong, nobody usually uses that bow."
Tubari also ran over, all excited and gave a thumbs-up to Ah Dai. "Little brother, you’re amazing. The Ferrous Bow is a treasure in our Alyano tribe, I didn’t imagine you would be able to draw it."
Ah Dai blushed, "But my archery is too bad, I’m really sorry."
Tubari laughed and said, "It doesn’t matter; participation is what matters. The horse-riding competition is about to start, look." Indeed, on the empty ground next to them, hundreds of horses were lined up, ready to run. With a clear whistle, the Alyano tribe’s knights spurred their horses and charged out. Yan Li’s figure was clearly visible in everyone’s sight, he was riding a chestnut horse.
Yan Li was thrilled, urging his horse to gallop rapidly eastward. By the time the herd of horses disappeared from everyone’s sight, Yan Li had already moved into the top ten.
Tubari admired, "Brother Yan Li is really something, my Xiao Hong is not the best horse in the tribe, but it is already not easy for him to be in the lead."
Ah Dai had recovered somewhat, "Brother Yan Li will surely come back first."
With the start of the horse-riding competition, a good number of spectators from the wrestling competition area ran over to watch, the crowd in the open area decreased, Xuan Yue held Ah Dai’s arm, "Ah Dai, Brother Yan Shi, let’s go watch the wrestling."
The wrestling competition had also entered a fierce stage, only the last four warriors were still in the competition, the winner of this round will qualify for the final.
The four burly men in the field were bare-chested, all except for one of smaller stature, the others were not lesser in height to Yan Shi. Techniques of dragging, pushing, hooking, tripping were pushed to their extreme, they were at a standstill for the moment.
