Chapter 107: The Arrow Comes!
Chapter 107 The arrow is coming!
Because of the rules of the competition, both people hit the target and ushered in the next round.
Kyudo does not focus on competition. They are not competing on the number of rings, but on hitting the target.
As long as you hit the target, whether you shoot into the outer ring or the bullseye, the result of the game is the same.
Neon archery usually carries two arrows in hand.
"We must go all out."
Sato Shinichi took a deep breath and his eyes became determined.
He stepped on the crossing again, adjusted his body shape, loaded the arrow, raised the bow over his head, opened it fully, concentrated, and shot another arrow.
With a "pop!" sound, the bowstring made a sound.
"Hit the target, inner ring."
Immediately afterwards, Masaki Uesugi announced the result.
He failed to hit the bullseye and fell behind. Regarding this result, Sato Shinichi felt a little regretful, but he did not show it. Instead, he turned his head slightly and looked at Kurosawa Hikari.
The way of neon archery is to honestly accept the result of every arrow, whether it is good or bad, you must face it.
At the same time, Kurosawa Hikaru straightened his body and began to cock the arrow.
With the arrow in his right hand pressed against the bow string, he raised the bow over his head and slowly pulled the string down.
"Kaka!"
With the arrow fully opened, the arm-length arrow was parallel to the arm. The muscles of his left shoulder with half-open sleeves actually flexed in a circle. The muscle lines gave people a terrible sense of strength, and the bow was further pulled.
The limit made a sound.
"boom!"
Everyone who noticed this and stared at him felt as if something exploded in front of their eyes, causing their hearts to tremble.
Different from just now, the figure holding a bow and drawing an arrow exuded a suffocating sense of oppression.
This is a feeling that can only be felt by fellow archery players, like a strong wind blowing against your face.
That shooting pattern, that arching posture, are natural, and are at the pinnacle, perfect and impeccable... It's as if the archery posture should be like this, as beautiful as a painting, like a poem.
Body, mind, bow and arrow, completely integrated into one.
Everyone looked at this arrow, as if they were attracted by this arrow in their hearts.
"Snapped!"
The next moment, the bowstring erupted and the arrow was shot.
This arrow was like an arrow that broke through the strong wind. It was extremely powerful and had extraordinary impact.
"Attsu!"
Immediately afterwards, the sound of hitting the target echoed in the bow dojo again, and the sound became louder.
This time, there was no need to announce, everyone saw the results.
Hit the target, bullseye!
What's even more terrifying is that this arrow directly penetrated the previous arrow and completely penetrated the bullseye, leaving a hole.
Everyone looked at Kurosawa Hikari's powerful figure again. His expression did not change, he was still calm and composed, as if the result of this arrow was natural.
If his first arrow showed precision and made people feel like luck... then this arrow was an extremely shocking bow skill that crushed everything.
Everyone felt it very directly... Whether it was one arrow, two arrows, ten arrows, or a hundred arrows, the result would be the same.
As long as he has a bow and arrow in hand, he can hit the target without exception!
After holding a bow, from multiple aspects such as shooting style, attitude, conduct, and technique, this man's level of archery is so high that it is even impossible to evaluate.
Under the gaze of everyone, Kurosawa Hikaru slowly lowered his bow and stood up holding it.
"There are no more arrows. Can someone help me get a few more?"
Kurosawa Hikaru took a long breath, turned around and asked.
After hearing this question, everyone came back to their senses.
"I'll get it for you."
A disciple of Sato Ninth Dan said subconsciously.
Those subconscious honorifics and attitudes already showed everything.
Kurosawa Hikaru's two arrows just now completely impressed him. As an archer, he had a desire in his heart, that is, he wanted to see more.
"I'll go ahead, I know Yabana."
The same goes for Uesugi Masaki. He was more excited than anyone else and started running immediately.
Seeing this scene, Sato Shinichi turned his head and looked at the other people present.
Different from just now, when it was just two arrows, everyone looked at Kurosawa Hikaru with more admiration.
The archery skills that crushed the entire audience and arrogantly impressed everyone.
"..." Sato Shinichi fell silent. He held the bow tightly and his right hand without arrows.
He already felt that he might lose this game.
As Sato 9th Dan, he is a very important figure in the neon world, and he has dedicated his life to Kyudo.
It's not that he has never lost before, because there is a 10th Dan Kyudo player above him, but he never dreamed that he would lose to a young man.
He didn't see what the first arrow looked like, but he saw the second arrow very clearly.
This young man's archery skills are probably unmatched by anyone in the new generation.
He possesses overwhelming talent, and not only that, he must have put in countless hardships and sweat.
This man's strength is enough to become the strongest archmaster in the Reiwa era, standing above everyone's heads.
When he realized this, he felt very complicated. A sense of powerlessness spread from his body, but he also had a feeling of joy.
Helplessly, when he thought back to his heyday, he would probably lose against this young man because this was a gap in talent that could not be bridged.
Fortunately, this man will become the leader of Neon Kyudo in the future, bring glory to the country, and even promote Kyudo to more people.
At this moment, Uesugi Masaki sent two arrows in front of Kurosawa Hikaru.
"Here comes the arrow!"
Seeing this scene, Sato Shin came to his senses, stretched out his hand and said in a deep voice.
Even though he saw the results, he still wanted to see more, how strong this young man could be.
"yes."
When his apprentice heard this, he also hurried to get the arrow.
Although they have feelings of admiration for Kurosawa Hikaru, they still respect their master.
Immediately afterwards, they continued to compete based on the rule of one arrow entering the soul.
As a ninth-level archer, Shinichi Sato's strength is unquestionable. Even at an advanced age, his accuracy is still terrifying.
Maybe not every arrow hit the bull's-eye, but out of ten arrows, none of them missed the target, and one arrow even hit the bull's-eye.
However, no one cares about his results.
Because every arrow Kurosawa shot next hit the bullseye without any doubt, and what made people even more immersed was the perfection of his archery posture.
Every arrow is very powerful, as if it is an art.
All ten arrows hit the bullseye, without exception, as if the god of bows and arrows had descended in front of him.
The two men said nothing, raised their bows and shot arrows.
At the fourteenth arrow, Sato 9th Dan finally missed and missed the target.
He kept shooting arrows continuously, but he had no strength due to old age and weakness.
"Attsu!"
Kurosawa Hikaru shot another arrow, hitting the bullseye, ending the game.
The exhausted Sato Shinichi saw that he still looked relaxed, and patrolled the dojo again, looking at his disciples.
"I lost, Mr. Kurosawa."
After a pause, Sato Shinichi stood up with a bow in hand, bowed to Kurosawa Hikari, and treated him as an honored guest.
Outstanding ability can make up for many things, including initial rudeness.
Fully aware of his strength, Sato Shinichi is no longer hostile to him, but looks at him with admiration.
"I accept it, Sato 9th Dan."
Although he won, Kurosawa Hikaru was not arrogant, but bowed to him.
Because he has perfect archery skills, he already knows that his current level of archery skills is close to that of the best marksman of the Spring and Autumn Period, Yang Youji.
That's why he knew very well that Sato's ninth-dan strength was extraordinary.
