Chapter 188 - [Bonus ]‘Continuing’ The Competition (2)

"I'm lucky and didn't actually land that badly, so after rest and medicine, I can come to the academy." Nan Hua looked at Shangguan Yi and lifted her chin a bit. "Do you want to take back your words now, Young Master Shangguan?"

Shangguan Yi's face darkened. He naturally cared a lot for his face. Being challenged like this by Nan Hua actually made him terribly annoyed.

"I would not go back on my words! Are you ready to have a competition on archery now, First Young Master Nan?"

"I'm ready anytime," Nan Hua replied confidently.

Feng Ao Si really wanted to roll his eyes and say that his cousin was shameless but he held his tongue. Since they were facing Shangguan Yi right now, he had to be on his cousin's side and not the other party's side.

"In that case, prepare your bow and arrow!" Shangguan Yi was angry and ordered his men to prepare his bow and arrows.

He was thinking that Nan Luo would be done for since the young man's reputation had tarnished with the incident from before. While it was just a small incident, it was still a blemish.

But now that 'Nan Luo' had appeared once more, Shangguan Yi knew that people would stop talking about that horse incident. As long as 'Nan Luo' won this battle, it was clear that they would forget about the fact that he failed to ride horse properly.

After all, he had age leverage.

That was something that Shangguan Yi wanted to avoid before, but he failed to do so now.

Nan Hua turned to look at Xiao Yan, who was following them from a distance away. Xiao Yan understood the message and quickly retrieved the bow and arrow that was already prepared. He knew that Nan Hua wanted to challenge Shangguan Yi, so he had prepared this in advance.

"How confident are you?" Feng Ao Kuai asked faintly.

"I should be able to hit the center if we're not too far." Nan Hua knew that her strength was similar with Nan Luo. However, their strength was not exactly capable of handling powerful adults yet. She didn't know how long she could hold on.

Feng Ao Kuai nodded. "Have you used bow before?"

"I have."

Feng Ao Kuai seemed to understand what Nan Hua meant as he waved his hand to his servant. His servant swiftly moved to call other students to come along with the teachers. With so many people watching, would Shangguan Yi dared to cheat.

The last time, there were only a few people around and most of them were Shangguan Yi's men.

They would surely side with Shangguan Yi should something happen.

This time, it wouldn't be the same.

"Are you ready?" the teacher at the front asked the two youths.

Shangguan Yi actually felt a bit nervous. He knew that he had to win to make sure that he could continue the rumors from yesterday, but he noticed that there were more people coming. It was as if everyone was trying to find out whether the rumors were true or not.

It was not going too good.

'Forget it. I'm stronger than him so naturally I can last longer.'

Shangguan Yi took a deep breath then he aimed at the target in front of him. He was actually not feeling too confident, but he still used the bow and arrow in accordance to what he had learned.

Dzing! Jleb!

"Right in the middle," Feng Ao Si commented.

Nan Hua didn't seem to listen to what Feng Ao Si said. She was looking at the target in front of her and silently calculating the wind speed. It was actually a habit she had from when she had to act as the sniper in the modern world, though she was not a world class sniper.

Dzing! Jleb!

"Right in the middle too." Feng Ao Si nodded in satisfaction.

"Continue!" Shangguan Yi shouted and took another arrow.. He decked the arrow on his bow as he looked at the front, determined to not lose focus in the slightest bit.
