Chapter 216: Chapter 216: The Rear Arrow Pierces the Front Arrow! Chapter 216: Chapter 216: The Rear Arrow Pierces the Front Arrow! All eyes were drawn to the scene. They often held such competitions. But none had ever been as shocking as today. One was a shooting prodigy who had won so many prizes and trophies that her hands had gone soft, the other a newcomer with astounding talent who had just stepped into the shooting circle. Who would win? All gazes were tightly fixed on the two figures on the field. Lin Qinghuan saw Gu Yajing and Gu Yalan and sat down next to them with a beaming smile. Familiar with each other, they chatted quietly for a few moments before Lin Qinghuan pointed to Gu Qiaoqiao in the field and whispered, “I heard that Gu Qiaoqiao sold a Gold Jade Stone Carving to Yubao Square for two hundred thousand.” “Two hundred thousand?” Gu Yajing asked in surprise, “Really?” “Of course it’s true. The whole Antique Street knows about it.” “How can it be so expensive? Is that thing really that good?” Gu Yalan asked discontentedly. Lin Qinghuan smiled slightly, “How would I know? I only know it was collected by Gu Jiansheng…” Gu Yajing and Gu Yalan exchanged glances, then turned their attention back to Gu Qiaoqiao. A touch of malice flickered in the depths of Gu Yajing’s eyes, the bitch, she must not be let off. The competition began. Alina looked dismissively at Gu Qiaoqiao on the other side, her lips curling upward. She had competed ten times in clubs abroad and won every time. This was her first battle since returning to her home country. Domestic clubs and shooting sports were still far behind. It could be said to be the difference between heaven and earth, clouds and dust. Moreover, let alone this, everything here was lagging behind, she thought. There was no fun for her here without worthy opponents, her own performance wouldn’t improve, but she would be simply wasting her time instead. Once this boring competition was over, she would take her spoils and leave Huaxia Xinguo. And today’s match would just serve to open the eyes of these country bumpkins. Gu Qiaoqiao glanced at the Jade Flute on the table once more and picked up the bow and arrow. This kind of archery was different from firing a gun; it required arm strength. Gu Qiaoqiao earnestly learned the basic methods of archery, and at this moment, her expression was relaxed and carefree. Young men and some girls from West City District were now sitting on the west side of the stands. Separated from those from East City District by an aisle. In terms of numbers, they seemed evenly matched. But in terms of momentum, West City District clearly didn’t match the brashness of East City District’s crowd. A part of them was still feeling nervous inside. While another part vividly remembered the events of that day. They were firmly convinced that Gu Qiaoqiao would continue to create myths. Even so, those who were nervous wouldn’t show it. The so-called face matters more than substance. Moreover, the people of West City District had to fight this battle regardless. Otherwise, they would be looked down upon by those from East City District for a lifetime. No matter the outcome, if Gu Qiaoqiao, a girl younger than them, dared to challenge a world-class shooter, they had to support her for her courage. Although they couldn’t see Gu Qiaoqiao’s expression, they still started shouting, “Qiaoqiao, come on, Qiaoqiao, come on.” Their voices thundered through the air. And the people from East City District also started shouting, “Alina, come on…” Chu Chengfeng, sitting at the edge of the judges’ table, watched Gu Qiaoqiao and completely relaxed. He glanced sidewise at Zhao Xiaoming who was full of himself and indifferently curled his lip. He thought to himself, just wait and see how arrogant you’ll be in a bit. Soon, the sound of gunfire signaled the start of the match. The distance this time was fifty-five meters, the current farthest. The bullseye was yellow, one in front of each competitor. Best of three rounds. The rules were the same: shoot three arrows each time, with the final score dictating the winner. Alina narrowed her eyes, drew her bow, and nocked an arrow, her stance perfect and her body bursting with an inexplicable strength. Three arrows shot out, swish swish swish, each hitting the bullseye. Moreover, the three arrows were very close to each other, forming a perfect ten-ring score. She proudly held her bow and arrows, shook them at Gu Qiaoqao, and even flipped her the bird. Not many people saw this gesture. But Chu Chengfeng saw it. He glared fiercely at Alina, thinking to himself that just because she’d come back from abroad, she thought she was coated in gold. Thought she was shining with gold. Even got herself an English name. These were not big issues; what really mattered was her attitude, which for some reason carried an air of superiority from who knows where. She seemed to have even forgotten who her ancestors were. So, Chu Chengfeng was so angry he really wanted to go down there and kick her. Meanwhile, Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t even bother to look at her, instead, she flexed her fingers and carefully sensed the position and distance of the target’s bullseye. She slowly curled up the corners of her mouth. Drawing her bow and nocking her arrows, she released three in quick succession—swish swish swish. The target caller in the distance ran up but suddenly froze. Those in the stands using binoculars to see the results shook so hard, the binoculars nearly dropped to the ground. No one heard the target caller announce the scores. The people from East City District in the stands were first stunned, then started cheering, whistling, and creating a commotion. Once the people from West City District regained their senses, a few stood up, huffing and puffing, pointing at the opposition, and swearing loudly. Some covered their faces, inwardly cursing Gu Qiaoqiao for showing off unnecessarily—what a humiliation. Hadn’t her arrows all shot off into the grass? Obviously, the opposition wasn’t going to fall behind, hurling back cold sneers and hot rebukes—a fight seemed imminent. Suddenly, the target caller’s excited voice filled the field, “The following arrows pierced the previous ones, a beautiful full ring.” The following arrows pierced the previous ones? Everyone paused for a moment. Everyone knew that ‘the following arrows piercing the previous ones’ meant that the second arrow had pierced right through the shaft of the first. The most impressive feat was splitting it down the middle. This wasn’t considered highly difficult in the shooting field, but it still required precise coordination of position and distance.

Yet, it happened right before their eyes. The people from West City District burst into cheers. A few with binoculars had theirs snatched away by companions. They just wanted to see what ‘the following arrows piercing the previous ones’ looked like! After seeing it, they all started to squeal excitedly. Alina was stunned. She clutched her bow and arrows, her eyebrows furrowed; she couldn’t believe it, absolutely refused to believe it. No one abroad could do it, and it was even less possible at home. It must be the referee cheating. She glared at Zhao Xiaoming, who stood there dumbfounded, and shouted loudly, “The referee must be lying, go check it out.” Zhao Xiaoming finally snapped out of it, but he felt somewhat uneasy. This referee was the most impartial. After being accused by Alina like this, did he even want to carry on? Couldn’t he see the referee’s face darkening? But Alina was from East City District, so he reluctantly approached. Seeing him move forward, Chu Chengfeng naturally wouldn’t just sit there; he ran towards the target, taking two steps at a time. And Chu Chengfeng’s two good buddies naturally followed as well.
