Chapter 321: Darkness Shooting (2/2)

Yang Wei raised an eyebrow.

”Does it count if I only hit them slightly- even if it's a scratch?” Yang Wei asked.

”Yes, it will count but don't get ahead of yourself. This is after all a Pagoda trial and not some children's game.”

Yang Wei's expression turned solemn as he nodded his head.

”How much time do I get and what's the minimum amount of points I have to achieve to pass the trial?”

”There will be a total of 20 items being shot and if you manage to get at least 15 items then you will pass. As for the time limit, as soon as the 20 items finish launching up, then that'll be the end of the Darkness Shooting.”

After understanding the rules of the trial, Yang Wei showed a resolute expression to tell Fan Ping to begin.

”I'm ready, Senior Fan Ping.” Yang Wei said.

Fan Ping didn't reply and merely snapped his finger.

Sometime later, Yang Wei could feel the environment around him begin to change structure despite not being able to see the changes.

A few seconds later, a loud popping sound echoed from afar.

Without hesitating, Yang Wei quickly sent out a wave of profound qi toward the direction of the sound.

Alas, Yang Wei failed to hit the first item that was launched into the air.

However, Yang Wei wasn't disappointed with such a result since it was only his first try.

'Seems like the trajectory between the item being thrown to the sky is only around 5 seconds. That means I can calculate when the item would reach a velocity of zero at its peak and that would be the best time to send out my profound qi.' Yang Wei thought.

With the first item, Yang Wei could easily use simple physics to help him out with the trial.

Thus, for the next 4 items that were launched into the air, Yang Wei didn't focus on landing a hit.

Instead, he focused on the time he heard the sound and when it dropped to the ground to have an estimate.

”This brat… What is he doing?” Fan Ping mumbled softly as he glanced at Yang Wei through a projection screen.

Fan Ping was thoroughly confused by Yang Wei's action when he saw that he didn't even try to send out profound qi to hit the target.

”Did he give up after one failure?” Fan Ping questioned himself as he waited for the 6th item to be launched.

If Yang Wei failed to hit this one, then his trial is considered a failure since there was no chance he would achieve a 15 out of 20 score any longer.

As Fan Ping wondered what's in Yang Wei's mindset, Yang Wei had already ready himself for the next item.

SWOOSH!

Yang Wei perked his ears up when he heard the launching sound again.

With his eyes closed, Yang Wei silently calculated the trajectory and timing of the item when it would reach its peak.

”Now it's the time,” Yang Wei suddenly said as he flicked his hand and a wave of profound qi was sent in a certain direction.
