Chapter 20 Soul-Leaving Bow
At this moment, there was quite a commotion in the audience.
The guests who came stood up one after another and looked in the same direction. Jiang Wentian, the mansion master of Jiang Mansion, who was also Jiang Chen's grandfather, came slowly.
Many members of the Jiang family hadn't seen him for almost half a year, and finally showed up on this festive day. He was still healthy and energetic, which was reassuring.
Jiang Wentian greeted the guests one by one, and sat down at the formal table.
Jiang Chen sensed Gao Yue's gaze, and walked up to greet him.
"Chen'er, are you feeling better?" Jiang Wentian showed a hearty smile on his ravine face, he didn't mention Black Dragon City or Jiang Chen's father.
Jiang Chen understood, and said some New Year greetings.
Jiang Lu, Jiang Jian, Jiang Feng and other direct descendants stepped forward one after another to pay New Year greetings to their elders.
After that, Jiang Wentian stood up and faced the crowd, announcing the official start of the New Year Banquet.
Tables of sumptuous dishes were placed on the table, and the aroma permeated the audience. The greedy children were the first to move their chopsticks.
"Jiang Feng, what have you gained in this year at the academy?" Jiang Wentian said.
Jiang Feng was overjoyed, and said proudly: "Grandpa, my realm has reached the initial peak, and soon, I will reach the middle stage of the Juyuan realm."
"Brother will be a very powerful force in Jiangfu by then!" Jiang Jian immediately echoed.
"good!"
Jiang Wentian nodded in satisfaction, then suddenly glanced at Jiang Chen, and said regretfully, "It would be great if Xiaochen wasn't injured."
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Feng was dissatisfied, and said: "Before, Jiang Chen was stuck in the bottleneck of the Qi Condensation Realm. It really takes time to break through. Even if he was not injured, it would take about a year."
"Jiang Chen can still reach Yuan Gathering Realm within half a year after being injured, how could it take so much time." Jiang Lu retorted.
"Didn't you just become the Juyuan Realm? How long did it take you?" Jiang Feng sarcastically said.
The bickering of the juniors made the people at the table laugh.
The second elder said: "In this case, let's start the annual assessment to see which disciple is the best."
Immediately, all the disciples looked terrified, with apprehension in anticipation.
Chinese New Year is not only about getting together for a meal, but also watching the growth of young people.
This is also the reason why Jiang Chen worked so hard to become Yuan Gathering Realm.
"Very good, let's get started, take out the Soul-Living Bow!" Jiang Wentian waved his hand without any objection.
Soul Bow.
It is a unique weapon of Nanfeng Ridge. Its characteristic is that it does not have any lethality, but it can check the strength of a person's soul.
The strength of the soul is also related to the comprehension of the exercises and the comprehension of martial arts.
So the Lihun Bow can tell a person's talent.
This is rare, talent is related to everything on this continent, but so far there is no 100% reliable way to determine talent.
It's like gambling with stones. You have to dig out the outer layer to see whether it is a treasure or a waste.
One also goes through practice and is judged by time and achievements.
However, everyone wants to know their talents in advance and how far they can go on the road of practice.
Many big forces hope to find a way to check their talents to select disciples for training.
Jiang Fu's disciples took the Soul Bow and shot at distant targets. The farther the distance, the higher the strength of the soul.
Murong Feng and Li Lie, disciples of Jianmen, didn't know what was going on, but they only understood after hearing the explanation from the Jiang family next to them.
Murong Feng is a great beauty, with a completely different beauty from the Dashan women, elegant yet energetic.
Wearing a close-fitting long dress has already attracted many fanatical eyes for her.
She said: "The tools for this kind of talent test have always been rare, especially the accuracy is not good. I didn't expect to see this kind of thing in a place like Shiwan Dashan, and it was made so interesting."
"When we go back, we'll buy one and bring it to the elders to see if this method is correct." Li Lie said.
"good."
Wenjianmen also has the Wentian Sword, which is specially designed to test talent. The sword blade is engraved with weapon patterns, and it is difficult to pull the sword out of the sheath. A person's talent in swordsmanship can be judged according to how much the sword is unsheathed.
………
The number of Soul-Living Bows is limited, and Jiangfu disciples must take turns to come.
One by one disciples stood in the open space with soul-leaving bows, aiming at the porcelain pots tied in the air, the nearest porcelain pot was three hundred steps away.
Most of the disciples choose the nearest target, because if they challenge a farther target, if they miss it, the score will be zero.
Only those who are confident enough will challenge the difficulty.
For example, Jiang Feng, if he can be accepted as a disciple by Cangnan Academy, his talent will not be bad.
He shot an arrow very handsomely, and the arrow made a sharp long cry, tearing the sky, and the porcelain pot eight hundred steps away was shattered into pieces.
The people in Jiang's mansion let out exclamations, and Jiang Tianxiong was even more proud.
"Not bad." Jiang Wentian also nodded in satisfaction.
"It's fun, I'll try it too."
That Jin Jie walked up to Jiang Feng suddenly, his tone was completely devoid of discussion, and he just stretched out his hand.
"No problem." Jiang Feng also gave her the Soul-Living Bow.
Jin Jie was not in a hurry to shoot the arrow. She first played with the Soul-Living Bow, tried to pull the bowstring, and then mounted the Soul-Living Arrow. She was very confident and pointed directly at the target thousands of steps away.
The slender arm pulled the bowstring to the limit, the arrow whizzed, and the porcelain pot of 1,200 paces was shot.
"Wow!" Many people were amazed.
"Huh? It seems that I can choose a farther target." Jin Jie was very happy and was about to shoot the second arrow.
"Jiangfu is not a place for you to play, one person at a time, even if you want to play, you have to follow the order." Jiang Chen walked over, almost speechless towards this woman.
He was the son of Lingyun Palace in his previous life, but he had never been arrogant because of his status.
Jin Jie's performance is like the first batch of descendants who have become rich and powerful, with indelible bad roots.
"It's really poor and stingy."
Jin Jie curled her lips, she didn't have a good impression of Jiang Chen, she rolled her eyes, handed out the Soul-Leaving Bow, and said jokingly, "You haven't shot yet, what were your grades in previous years?"
"Eight hundred steps." Jiang Feng helped answer.
In the past, he couldn't figure out why, but knowing that Jiang Chen had a divine vein, he felt at ease, because together with the news of the divine vein, there was also the incident of the seizure of the divine vein and the catastrophic change in the East Hospital.
"Here, let's see if you can break this lady's record." Hearing that Jiang Chen's record was four hundred steps behind her own, Jin Jie smiled brightly.
Jiang Chen took the Soul-Living Bow, and thought to himself that his father Jiang Qingyu had set a record of 2,000 steps, which was a relatively deep event in his memory.
Jiang Chen in the past often used this as his goal.
"Let me help you finish it."
Jiang Chen drew his bow and set an arrow, aiming at the porcelain pot two thousand steps away.
This action attracted the attention of many people. Jiang Feng sneered and said, "Don't forget, if you can't shoot that far, the arrow will miss and your score will be zero."
The farther the distance, the greater the difficulty, because then the strength of the soul is not only reflected in the distance, but also the accuracy.
Two thousand steps away, the porcelain pot was almost a black spot.
