54 Hero

South Korean archer: Kim Chung-ji's opponent in the quarter-finals was Ezekiel Jafari, from Nigeria, who performed well in both the qualifiers and the previous team competition.

Kim Chung-ji was second only to the presence of Park Tae-an in the Korean Team. His strength was stronger than that of Jafari's.

But the problem wasn't the outcome itself, but in the performance of the archers on the court.

The individual competition was divided into 4 rounds with 4 arrows per round.

By the third round, Kim Chung-ji was winning by 4 points.

89 to 85.

It was looking pretty certain that Kim Chung-ji would win.

But perhaps because of the semi-finals in the afternoon, he wanted to end the game ahead of time which was obvious from the speed of his archery.

But Jafari, the Nigerian archer, obviously didn't want to give up so easily. He was originally an archer with a slow rate of fire, almost leaving it to the very last moment before firing.

However, perhaps the pressure was too great but his performance wasn't ideal.

Kim Chung-ji tried to hurry things along as much as possible in order to finish the game soon, so he could rest longer and regain as much physical strength as possible for the next game.

But Jafari didn't want to give up and was still making final efforts. Seeing Jafari's determination, Kim Chung-ji felt extraordinarily unhappy, as if Jafari was deliberately delaying time.

In addition, Kim Chung-ji's opponent in the next round was Tang Yan and feeling anxious he slowly became more and more frustrated.

Tang Yan so far had quickly easily eliminated his opponents, most only perfunctorily shooting after he gained a substantial lead.

There would be a break before the semi-finals in the afternoon naturally but archers who finished their games faster gained more time to rest than those who had drawn out games.

....

Finally losing his temper watching Jafari shoot drawn out shot after another, Kim Chung-ji seemingly made a disrespectful comment after eliminating Jafari.

Jafari who was originally leaving the scene, downtrodden turned back and the two seemingly began trading insults in English, back and forth.

Then the audience saw Kim Chung-ji gesture a middle finger at him and then proceed to say something that seemed to especially infuriate Jafari.

Who lost his temper and in the next moment rushed up and threw a punch, and quickly the two men became entangled in a fight.

The organizing committee imposed penalties on the conflict, and the result of the punishment was also daunting but not in the manner many expected.

Jafari was deprived of his qualifications, his previous results were made invalid, whilst Kim Chung-ji only received a verbal warning.

The official explanation for this was that Jafari made the first move by escalating the situation to violence. This result was obviously unsatisfactory, but because Nigeria was not able to compare with South Korea in archery or national power they weren't able to do much to refute. Corruption and bias wasn't uncommon in these sporting bodies. A good example of this was Fifa with its multiple scandals.

The results of the punishment weren't changed and the audience having witnessed this all occur before them were naturally in righteous indignation.

....

After a short break at noon, the semi-final of the men's archery officially started in the afternoon. There were two groups. Park Tae-an played against Quan Zhiping and Tang Yan played against Kim Chung-ji.

The semi-final between Park Tae-an and Quan Zhiping started first, but this Korean battle obviously wasn't the focus of the audience and the media. Of course, the results were also expected. Park Tae-an easily defeated his teammate Quan Zhiping to advance to the final.

After the end of this match, Tang Yan and Kim Chung-ji's game was up next which was particularly eye-catching because of the previous fight.

Perhaps because of the result of the punishment, Kim Chung-ji was relaxed and even smug as he came up.

On the other hand, Tang Yan was serious.

Originally against Kim Chung-ji, he did not have much emotional volatility. After all, after gaining the ability to use 80% of Li Guang's abilities, he didn't really place Kim Chung-ji in his eyes, even Park Tae-an also didn't pose much of a threat to him.

But all this changed because of the Jafari incident. Whether it was because of past lives or before the team competition, he had a good impression of Jafari. The obvious partiality of the organizing committee made him feel angry from the bottom of his heart and disgust.

He couldn't vent this emotion directly to the organizing committee, so he could only vent it out in the game in front of him.

After the referee indicated that the game could begin, Tang Yan quickly pulled out the arrow and his actions were completed in almost twelve seconds and before anyone could even blink, an arrow had already hit the center of the target, which attracted amazement from the audience.

Shooting the 10 pointer, there was no change in the face of Tang Yan. After unlocking 80% the biggest change he could feel was the control of his archery movement. The technical movements felt like they were engraved in his bones. The intuitive muscle memory caused an increase in his archery speed.

Twelve seconds was his time without further training.

Seeing Tang Yan's metamorphosed rate of fire, Kim Chung-ji's slightly swollen face was unconsciously pumping, followed by stinging pain.

He took a deep breath to calm down his emotions and took up an arrow.

Twang!

Boom!

9 points, a fairly good result.

When Kim Chung-ji shot the first arrow, Tang Yan stepped forward and what followed was a series of fast movements.

Twang!

Boom!

Almost instantaneously the sound of the arrow hitting the target could be heard.

Another 10 pointer without any suspense.

Kim Chung-ji's face was already white at this time.

Tang Yan's previous close victory over Schneider led Wu Quantai and the South Korean team's coaching staff to gain some hope of beating Tang Yan. They had even tried to create strategies.

But the real confrontation was completely different.

In only two arrows. He knew that beating Tang Yan was simply an idiotic dream.

Tang Yan gave him a feeling of looking at something unreachable. A sense of inferiority that he only felt looking at the likes of Park Tae-an but it felt even stronger facing him.

With Park Tae-an he only felt he was only slightly weaker than him but Tang Yan felt unreachable, like this competition would be his last chance to even be on the same stage as him let alone compete against him. He would reach a stage where he could only watch him from afar.

Maybe this was what a true prodigy was...

"Kim Chung-ji, focus!" Just then, the South Korean team coach Wu Quantai got up and shouted.

Kim Chung-ji awakened at this moment, and after rattling his head to awaken himself, he took up his second arrow.

Twang!

Boom!

7 points.

At this , the audience screamed and whistled.

The audience could not interfere with the archers during the competition, but their dissatisfaction with the organizing committee was strong and they used this as a chance to vent their anger.

The reaction of the audience attracted the dissatisfaction of the South Korean team. Wu Quantai went directly to the sidelines to complain.

The organizing committee really had no way. They couldn't drive out the audience now could they?

The on-site staff tried to placate the crowd but the result was as expected.

As a result, the Korean team's protests were ignored.

This kind of behavior continued until it was Tang Yan's turn, and when Tang Yan came up again, without the staff's direction, the scene quickly quieted down.

This made the South Korean team's coaching staff feel like vomiting blood.

What made them even more mad was that after Tang Yan shot another 10 pointer, the scene shook with deafening cheers.

At this moment, Tang Yan was the hero who punished the villain.
