Facing Long Hua's confusion, the little monk smiled and said, "You are indeed stupid. Look, who are the two people by his side now?"
Long Hua looked at Monarch Yu doubtfully and saw that the two people by Monarch Yu's side had changed.
The place where the Long Clan disciples practiced their spear techniques was where Monarch Yu came.
With Monarch Yu's arrival, that place immediately became the most bustling place in the drill ground.
Not only did the Long Clan disciples gather there, but even the guards and guards of the Marquis's Residence went over to join in the excitement.
Another busybody encouraged Monarch Yu to show off his skills.
Monarch Yu said a few humble words but still did not make a move, letting his follower show off his skills.
That follower did not look shocking. However, his spear techniques were amazing.
Even the best spear technique among the Long Clan disciples did not last more than ten moves against that follower.
Many of the Marquis's Residence's guards were itching to challenge him. However, they could only show off that follower's exquisite spear techniques.
Long Hua exclaimed in shock, "What incredible spear techniques! This is …"
Monarch Yu simply could not figure out what was going on. Given his intelligence, it was indeed somewhat shocking for him to figure this out.
The little monk's baby-like face showed disdain as he said, "Can't you tell? This monarch has many capable people under him. That person who competed with you earlier is someone with excellent archery skills, much stronger than you. He must have prepared this. Otherwise, do you think that just anyone's archery skills are that scary? "
"Why?"
Long Hua asked, feeling confused. Monarch Yu found an expert archer to trample on him for no reason.
Initially, Long Hua did not believe it. However, when he saw Monarch Yu casually walking around the drill ground, he inadvertently displayed a strong follower.
The little monk frowned and looked up at Xiao Chen, who was beside him. Then, he asked in a daze, "Big Brother, why?"
"Dang!"
Xiao Chen hit the bull 's-eye again. He felt that this drill ground was rather useful.
If he were to cultivate here for a month, his mediocre archery skills should be able to improve by leaps and bounds.
If he found a good teacher from the Marquis's Residence to teach him, he might even become an expert archer.
"Little brat, it turns out that you don't know either," Long Hua muttered.
Long Hua mumbled to himself as he came to Xiao Chen's side and asked, "Why exactly?"
Xiao Chen placed the Goose Dragon Bow on the table at the side and glanced at Monarch Yu. There was a hubbub of voices on the other side, and it was extremely lively. Cheers could be heard from time to time.
"Anticipation, I guess."
"What?"
Xiao Chen explained, "There are thousands of people on the drill ground, including the Marquis's Mansion's family warriors and the disciples of the opposite sex. When everyone wanted to see Monarch Yu's strength, he did not make a move. It's better to let your followers attack to shock the crowd and lure them away. "
"The more you want him to make a move, the more he refuses to make a move. He's only letting his follower provoke everyone's interest. What do you expect in your heart now?"
Long Hua replied without even thinking, "Naturally, I want to see Monarch Yu's own strength. Even his followers are so powerful. As the master, he must be even stronger."
"That's right. Right now, he's trying to create this kind of anticipation and provoke your expectations to the extreme. Actually, do you have some other kind of anticipation in your heart? Since your follower is so powerful, you might not be as powerful. You want to see him make a fool of himself. "
Xiao Chen remained expressionless, not showing any fluctuations. However, he seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.
Long Hua said somewhat embarrassedly, "Indeed, a little. I lost so miserably. Naturally, I feel somewhat unconvinced."
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, "Don't think that way. Otherwise, when he makes a move later, you will feel even more despair. This is the effect that he wants. When everyone's emotions are at their peak, he will pretend to make a move reluctantly. When he makes a move, he will shock everyone and make the others' respect for him reach new heights. It might even make them despair of being undefeatable, feeling respect in their defeat. "
"That's impossible."
Long Hua felt somewhat incredulous. Xiao Chen's words had a huge impact on him.
His pure heart could not accept this.
This was simply too complicated. Right now, Long Hua felt somewhat dizzy.
The little monk, who was not even taller than Xiao Chen's calf, rubbed his chin and nodded to himself.
Big Brother is really smart. He immediately figured out the crux of the problem. This Monarch Yu is also incredible. I can try using this move in the future.
Long Hua's expression did not fade. He still did not believe it, or perhaps he was unwilling to believe it. He said, "Just to stand out, he wants to trample on all of us first?"
"Why not? In the same era of the Martial Epoch, only the most resplendent star will be remembered by the later generations. The other stars can only adorn the night sky, making it even more resplendent and dazzling, making people feel even more respect and admiration. This is how the path of the Martial Epoch is. Isn't it the same in reality? "
Xiao Chen said indifferently, "Right now, you are just unlucky to be in the same drill ground as him."
"However … will there really be people who think that way and then do it?"
Long Hua thought about it carefully. If that was really the case, this person was too shrewd and scheming. Even after being purposely used as a stepping stone, he was still willing to worship the other party.
"A general's success is built on ten thousand bones. This has been the case since ancient times. While this sentence seems very far away from us, in reality, it is happening all the time. To achieve one's goal, a few tricks and a few stepping stones are nothing. Every day, every hour, every moment, there are people who become stepping stones for others. "
"Dang!"
Xiao Chen drew back the bowstring, and the arrow struck the bull 's-eye again. Then, he revealed a faint smile on his face.
I can increase the gravity now. With my Veritable Essence Energy, I can control the gravity by twenty times.
If it were the Soul Slayer Bow, Xiao Chen would have no problem reaching the level of the archery expert under Monarch Yu.
When Long Hua heard what Xiao Chen said, he felt his hair stand on end. Is this world really that scary?
"However, what is his purpose? Why is Monarch Yu doing this? "
Long Hua could not help asking. He already doubted Xiao Chen's words, so he could not help asking.
Xiao Chen looked at the tall platform. The Marquis, Long Yan, and the upper echelon of the Marquis's Residence could not help looking at Monarch Yu.
It could not be helped. Nearly all the thousands of people in the drill ground gathered where Monarch Yu was.
Monarch Yu looked very handsome and valiant. He held a noble status, but he was neither arrogant nor proud. Just his subordinates could make people applaud and praise him endlessly. If the people in the drill ground did not pay attention to him, who would they pay attention to?
Could it be those lonely, lost, or disappointed stepping stones in the corners?
Compared to the cheerful Monarch Yu, who had a gloomy expression and was dispirited and full of negative energy, who would they pay attention to?
The answer went without saying.
Xiao Chen thought about the excited Long Clan disciples at the family banquet. At this moment, the outstanding talents among them were all like Long Hua, dispirited and dissatisfied.
It was not that they were not outstanding enough. It was just that they ran into the even more outstanding Monarch Yu.
This was originally a drill prepared for them. With Monarch Yu's means, the main character changed, becoming Xiao Chen himself.
This allowed the Soaring Dragon Marquis and the upper echelon of the Marquis's Residence to focus their gazes on him.
They had somewhat forgotten the original purpose of this drill.
After Long Hua heard what Xiao Chen said, he could not say that he understood everything. However, he understood Xiao Chen's words.
However, Long Hua still felt dubious in his heart. He felt that what Xiao Chen said was too shocking, somewhat unrealistic.
"Brother Xiao, your archery skills are pretty good!"
Suddenly, Monarch Yu, who was in the crowd in the distance, seemed to have discovered Xiao Chen by accident.
Following Monarch Yu's gaze, the gazes of the drill ground immediately shifted to Xiao Chen.
As Monarch Yu spoke, he walked over naturally, and the others quickly followed.
"Monarch Yu, show us your skills!"
It was unknown who shouted that, but the cultivators following Monarch Yu instantly erupted.
"Right, right, right. Monarch Yu, you possess the Royal Clan's bloodline. You are definitely skilled in the six arts, and your archery skills must be extraordinary. Show us your skills. Let's see how exquisite the Royal Clan's archery skills are. "
"Show us your skills, then."
After watching Monarch Yu's subordinates make a move several times, these people were already anticipating Monarch Yu to truly show off his strength.
Monarch Yu thought for a long time. Then, he said with some difficulty, "Archery is indeed not my specialty. If I make a fool of myself, please forgive me."
"Good! Good! Good!"
The crowd was excited. Monarch Yu was finally going to make a move. The many Long Clan disciples and generals all felt excited.
"Brother Xiao, if you don't mind using the bow in your hand, right?"
Monarch Yu asked softly, showing a humble attitude.
Xiao Chen showed a calm expression as he casually handed the Goose Dragon Bow to the other party. Then, he slowly pushed it away.
Only Long Hua's heart was surging with waves. He was incomparably shocked, completely stupefied, unable to say a single word.
It really was as Xiao Chen said. This was the exact same script.
It looked like there were no openings. Under the crowd's instigation, Monarch Yu appeared somewhat helpless and unwillingly made a move.
I am not trying to show off on purpose. You all forced me to.
This … this … what kind of cultivation realm is this? This is simply inconceivable!
However, Xiao Chen had seen through everything long ago.
Long Hua felt curious. If Monarch Yu knew that Xiao Chen already knew everything he did, what kind of expression would he have?
