8 Trials 3 (1/2)

After the second round, there were only two people with perfect scores. One was Li Cunde from Yuhang City, and the other was Tang Yan.

The judges were slightly stunned. Seeing such a performance from someone from Lotus City was definitely unexpected.

Tang Yan looked at the expressions of the judges and smiled before looking over at Li Cunde.

Could he maintain his perfect streak as well?

In fact, Tang Yan's performance had drawn the attention of the audience as well. They became excited at the idea of a confrontation between two masters.

After a short break, the third round begun.

Tan Yan still maintained his previous rhythm, ignoring the increased attention he was receiving.

His third round was perfect as well.

After shooting his last arrow, he laid down his bow and arrow and walked back to the grass to sit down.

The emotions of the audience were tense.

Of the two, Li Cunde was a much more cautious archer, thus his archery was slower as he paid more attention to each shot. Whilst Tang Yan had finished shooting, he was just on his fourth arrow.

Taking a deep breath and aiming his bow, he released the bow string.

Twang!

Boom!

10 points!

”Beautiful shot!” Tang Yan couldn't help but comment.

After the fourth arrow, Li Cunde was on a perfect score of 40 points. Although he was slower than Tang Yan, it was stable.

Looking at Li Cunde, Tang Yan couldn't help but sigh. This somewhat chubby high school student looked to be two or three years younger than him. Back in Lotus City, he was named a prodigy due to being only 18yrs old. If that was the case, then what was Li Cunde? From this, the disparity between the cities could be seen once again. Talent in one city was just average when moved to another.

In all honesty, he hadn't expected Li Cunde's mentality to be so strong. At such a young age, he could already steadily shoot perfect rounds at a provincial competition and so stably at that. He would be a strong opponent in the future.

Li Cunde's stable play continued until the end of the round, although slower, his results were the same as Tang Yan's: a perfect score of 60 points!

At the end of this round, there was a burst of cheering from the crowd.

In this round of the competition, the confrontation between Li Cunde and Tang Yan became extremely popular.

”Old Chen, do you think those two can shoot a perfect game?”

The judges began to discuss after seeing the results of this round. In the first group, Zhang Han's performance had made them satisfied. But he had only shot 349 points. Now seeing these two shooting three rounds of perfect scores, they began to ponder if it was possible for the two to shoot a completely perfect game.

Seeing so many talented young archers, it seemed the future was bright.

”It's hard to say. Tang Yan shoots very quickly, so whether he can maintain his accuracy is difficult to guarantee. Li Cunde, on the other hand, is much slower, but his shots are steady. If you really want to hear my thoughts, I think Li Cunde has a better chance of shooting a perfect game,” said the coach, known as Lao Chen.

”I disagree.”

”Oh? You think Tang Yan has a greater chance?”

”Naturally, since he can be so accurate while shooting so quickly, he can slow down and shoot even more precisely. Plus, doesn't it feel like he shouldn't be on this event but the 70m event instead?”

.....

Twang!

Boom!

”Tang Yan, 10 points.”

Tang Yan, having maintained his previous speed and accuracy had just finished a perfect game of 360 points!
