The Heavenly Jewel Change
Chapter 61: New Recruitment Tournament (1)
The reason why Xiao Se disliked the new Recruiting Company of the 3rd Battalion was mainly because he had been watching critically during the recruitment training, and had discovered that the First and Second Battalions had many talented recruits. Although they may not be very accurate in shooting at a distance of 200 yards, but they are at least able to shoot to that extent, and with acceptable control. In comparison, the recruits of the Third and Fourth Battalion were clearly not this good, although Company Leader Mao Li was quite good at leading, but it would be difficult to just fight against bigger talents. With only a short training period of a few months, it was not enough for hard work to make up for the lack of natural talent.
Zhou Weiqing stood right beside Company Leader Mao Li, and said in a low voice, "Company Leader, can you show all the skilled recruits on the opposite side of me."
Mao Li looked at him asking, saying, "What are you planning?"
Zhou Weiqing grinned and took off the Purple Dawn Bow he carried on his back, saying quietly, "I'll call!"
Mao Li's eyes brightened. He was initially very worried in his heart for this fight, and did not think too much of Zhou Weiqing participating in the New Recruit Tournament. In his eyes, Zhou Weiqing had only practiced a little bit of Heavenly Energy and might have slightly greater strength, but archery depended on skill, and it was not just a matter of having extra strength. However, when he heard Zhou Weiqing mention the 'Call Call', he was completely shocked; it was because this terminology was only used among the archers, and meant killing/shooting targets. It was generally only used by archers who had proper training from masters, to know such terms. Surely, this Personal Aide Commander Battalion recruited, who also 'touched' the chest of the Battalion Commander* instead of mere recruitment.
"Well, that's good.I'll tell you now and you try to memorize it. On the opposite side, from left, fifth, ninth .... ”.
Shang Gong Bing Er stood beside watching the Fresh Recruit Tournament with critical eyes. Of course, he paid the most attention to Zhou Little Fatty naturally, and looked at him and Company Leader Mao Li spoke in a whisper, he was rather curious about what they were discussing.
"Battalion Commander, which side do you think will win in the end?" Xiao Se echoed unharmoniously in Shang Gong Bing Er's ears.
Shang Gong Bing Er turned her head and said, "Of course this is our Third Battalion, I believe in the leadership abilities of Company Leader Mao Li."
Xiao Se curled his lips, saying mockingly, “This is just a new recruiting company, they are a crowd that has not gone to the battlefield, nor have they ever seen any bloodshed, he said, how can a simple few months of training be of much use? Talent is the most important at this stage. Of course, since the Battalion Commander did not see any recruitment training, you are certainly not clear on which side has the more talented recruits. ”
Shang Gong Bing Er's fine brows furrowed again, and she decided to no longer pay attention to Xiao Se, instead of taking a step forward, shouting loudly: "New Recruit Tournament, Start."
The recruits in the three regions covered a vast and vast area of land, but with Shang Gong Bing Er's shout, her clean and pleasant voice was clearly heard throughout the battlefield, the report said, The eighth level Heavenly Jing Energy gave him an extremely strong foundation in the Celestial Realm. Energised.
Hearing Shang Gong Bing Er's voice, Xiao Se clutched his fist. In fact, the biggest disappointment in his life was that he had not managed to Awaken his Power Jewel to become a Jewel Master. Although he had put in so much effort in other fields and had some achievements, but he still could not change that fact.
The moment Shang Gong Bing Er issued the order, the Fresh Recruitment Tournament officially began. The light and heavy infantry sides of the Infantry both began their duties, while the four Archery Companies also launched their first round salvo.
However, even though the recruits had trained for three months, but this was still the first time they had faced off in a battle like this, and their mood seemed to be extremely excited, causing many arrows to disappear, and after they took the shot, they stood around looking ridiculous, watching their arrows fly.
Zhou Weiqing mixed amidst the mass of recruits, and as he shot out arrows, while the other recruits were still standing around gawking, he quickly retreated backwards, hide behind other recruits and crouch down to reduce the chance that an enemy arrow will hit him.
"Ahh, ahhh ..." Screams rang out continuously, as the recruits after the recruits were hit by chalk arrows, and under the direction of each Company Leader, they had to retreat from the battlefield after being hit, and under the direction of each Company Leader, they had to retreat from the battlefield after being hit, and can no longer participate in the New Recruit Tournament.
Zhou Weiqing listened to the resounding cries, and then he quickly stood up, his Purple Dawn Bow was pulled with a full crescent moon, and while the other recruits were still looking at their first arrow, it was still the first arrow, the second arrow was already in the air at lightning speed. With the power of the Purple Dawn Bow, how could the recruits avoid it? .
"Slightly Fatty, good archery." Mao Li called out with a pleasant surprise. As Zhou Weiqing had said earlier, as soon as his first arrow was fired, he managed to 'Roll Called' one of the outstanding recruits of the opposing Battalion shown by Mao Li.
However, compared to the pleasant surprise Mao Li showed, Shang Gong Bing Er's expression was actually very ugly. As the Sovereign of the Heavenly Jewel, his vision was naturally astounding, and after this first round of rescue, his vision was naturally astounding, he saw clearly that the Third and Fourth Battalions had lost around 40 soldiers compared to the First and Second Battalions only lost around 10 soldiers. Without a doubt, this really shows a huge difference in the quality and talent of recruitment on both sides. No wonder Xiao Se had such a confident appearance.
After the first salvo was launched, Zhou Weiqing seemed to be a changed person, like a fast and flexible leopard, the power of the Purple Dawn Bow in his hand that shot out endlessly like lightning, like lightning, and every time he shot an arrow, he always managed to use another recruit as cover, and only in that case when he shot an arrow would he appear in an instant.
At first, the opposing First and Second Battalions did not really notice him, but after four to five rounds of salvo, as the Third and Fourth Battalions lost more than half of their recruits, he said, the rate of fire and the impressive precision of Zhou Weiqing immediately attracted the attention of the opposing Company Leader.
In just such a short time, Zhou Weiqing had already "Roll Called" 11 people, causing them to leave the field. The Purple Dawn Bow was indeed an extremely powerful bow, although the arrow had been removed, the target he struck was unable to recover in a short period of time. Moreover, his rate of fire was much higher than an ordinary large bow, and the opponent's recruits had no way of dodging his arrow. Moreover, Zhou Weiqing's arrows were all quite accurate, almost always hitting the chest area of his target. With such precision, to describe it as 'Hundred Step Hit *' does not exaggerate it.
* TL – ⁇ A Chinese idiom showing the incredible accuracy of archers. Arose from the Warring States Period where a Chu General could hit the tree leaves from a hundred steps away.
"Focus the shot on that cunning little bastard." One of the Company Leaders from the Second Battalion shouted loudly.
As soon as Zhou Weiqing shot the 12th, he immediately sensed that something was not right. Ever since his Heavenly Jewel Woke up, he had found that his sensitivity and detection ability had doubled, and the sudden attention of the opposite battalion suddenly caused him to immediately be on alert *. This person did not even hesitate for half a second, and immediately turned around and ran.
At this point, there were still over 70 recruits left for the Third and Fourth Battalion, and from such a crowd one recruit suddenly jumped up, turning around and running naturally caught the attention of all the observing military officers in the audience. At least two Company Leaders had attended the tournament of each Battalion, and with one directing the candidates, the remaining officers were gathered around Shang Gong Bing Er's side. Since the Archery Battalion tournament usually ended much faster, they watched it first.
