"Everyone, get ready!" Li Nianzhen shouted.
Immediately, the six students in the second gear drew their bows and nocked their arrows.
"Beep!" A rapid whistle sounded.
Immediately, six roe deers rushed out of their burrows a hundred meters away and fled desperately.
They were moving at a speed of about ten meters per second, and the direction they were moving in was very chaotic.
Søren ignored all other targets as fast as he could and focused all of his spiritual power on one of the black robes.
Then he realized that his spiritual power could indeed lock onto this target.
However, if he were to shoot at this time, he would not be able to hit it.
This was because when he was shooting at a fixed target, he had first constructed the exact same virtual space in his mind. Although he could not see the bullseye with his eyes, he could see it in the spiritual world and aim at it.
At this time, he could not construct this virtual space. This was because the robe had been moving rapidly, causing the virtual space to constantly change.
Therefore, he could sense the robe and even lock onto it, but he could not aim at it at the same time.
The robe was moving faster and faster. In just a few seconds, it had escaped from Søren's lock-on range.
Søren's heart was cold. This was only the target in the second gear. The moving target in the third gear was a wild dog. Its speed was two or three times faster than the roe deers, but its body was more than half its size.
He could not even hit the target in the second gear, let alone the third gear.
Moreover, in order to kill him, Countess Zhi Ning was likely to shoot a moving target in the third gear, which was faster and smaller.
Immediately, Søren was burning with anxiety. He had already come this far, and he really, really did not want to fail.
If he failed, all of his previous efforts would go down the drain. He would be finished, and so would the Suo family.
Even if he failed, he would gain everyone's sympathy. However, the last thing he needed was sympathy.
"Eros, without the help of my eyes, I can't shoot at a fast-moving target at all," Søren said, "If this continues, I will not be able to complete the second half of the exam."
Eros also clearly perceived everything.
Søren asked, "Is there a way? I remember you once mentioned that when one's mental strength reaches a certain level, they can slow down time in the world of perception. "
Eros was silent for a moment, then said, "Yes, but you'll have to pay a lot of spiritual power and dragon power. It might completely deplete the Dragon Power and Mental Energy that we've worked so hard to accumulate. It might even cause great harm to your body. "
Søren said, "Then let's do it this way! If we lose this time, we'll lose everything. There's no point in keeping the Mental Energy and Dragon Power. "
…
Beep, beep, beep, beep …
With the sound of ten whistles, the second stage of the exam was over.
For the second test, five out of ten hits would also be considered a pass. However, out of the six students, only three passed. The other three all failed.
Originally, at least five out of the six of them had succeeded, but their minds were all in a mess, and they were all focused on Søren's side, so their performance was completely out of whack.
However, these two aristocratic girls did not seem to care at all. The moment they finished the exam, they turned to look at Søren.
Next, the most crucial moment had arrived.
Everyone present, be it the supervisors, examiners, or students, all had their full attention on Søren.
"The third stage of the exam officially begins."
"Shooting target, Black Harrier. Shooting range, 250 meters!"
Originally, there was no need to say this out loud. Just shoot the target. However, Li Nian was indignant, so she shouted it out, trying to provoke the crowd.
Sure enough, everyone had a shocked expression on their faces.
This, could this be any more outrageous and shameless than this? Søren's eyes could no longer see. Originally, it was already difficult enough to shoot a wild dog as a third-stage target.
Now, it was a Black Harrier. It was the fastest bird in the world, and it was only slightly bigger than a human's palm.
The Black Harrier could reach 80 to 90 meters per second at its highest speed.
Yes, that's right, 90 meters per second. This speed was comparable to that of an arrow.
In other words, it could fly out of the target's range in just two seconds. At such a speed, it was impossible to lock onto it mentally.
Then, all eyes were fixed on Princess Jinning, who was on the high platform, in disbelief.
Even a seventh-level or eighth-level warrior could not shoot a Black Harrier in flight, could it? Now, Søren was doing it, and he could not see at all.
This was definitely trying to kill him, right?
"Shameless, shameless …"
"It's not fair!"
Instantly, all the students present cheered loudly.
Li Nian looked at the chief supervisor, Batu, the dragon shooter from the Dragon Temple, and said, "Sir Batu, what do you think?"
At this moment, Batu was completely on fire.
He knew that if he nodded now, he would become an accomplice of the royal family in suppressing Søren, and his reputation would be completely ruined.
However, if he did not nod, he would completely offend the royal family. The dragon shooters from the Heavenly Stars Temple were like stepmothers in the Dragon Temple. The grand cultivators from the Palace of Arts and the Palace of Mind and Spirit could be high and mighty, but they could not. When had they ever seen an archer being high and mighty?
Taking a deep breath, Batu said coldly, "Continue with the examination!"
Everyone looked at Batu in disbelief once again. This dragon shooter from the Dragon Temple had also fallen.
"Your Highness, I will be kicked out of the Dragon Temple in three days," Batu said in a low voice.
Zhi Ning said, "Don't worry, I will arrange a better place for you."
Suddenly, the crowd surged, and the angry students even rushed to the high platform.
As for Li Nianzhen and the warriors of King City, they watched all this quietly without any intention of stopping it.
That was because they were also angry and indignant.
"Are you rebelling?" Jian Ning said sternly, "If Søren does not shoot after the time is up, it will be considered a failure!"
Suddenly, the angry students could no longer control themselves and rushed forward.
Seeing that the situation was about to turn chaotic, Søren suddenly raised his right arm.
Instantly, the entire place fell silent. Everyone stopped what they were doing.
"Princess Zhi Ning, please remember today," Søren said lightly.
Then, he said to Li Nian, "Mentor Nian Zhen, please take me to my seat."
Li Nian's eyes were red. Holding Søren's hand, they went to his seat.
Then, all the students stopped their impulsive actions and stood behind Søren. They held their breaths and focused all their attention on him.
Li Nian shouted, "Everyone, get ready!"
Søren quickly nocked an arrow, used his Dragon Power, and suddenly shot it into the air.
His eyes were still covered. He lowered his head and listened to the sound in the air.
He took deep breaths, then completely held his breath, gathered all his mental power, and waited for the sound of the arrow.
Beep …
In an instant, Søren released his Dragon Power and mental power that were five, eight, and ten times more than before.
The powerful Dragon Power and mental power instantly attacked his veins and nerves.
The pain was so excruciating that it was almost suffocating.
At the same time, a black hawk rushed into the sky like an arrow released from a bow.
Its speed was extremely fast, reaching more than ten meters per second. It was so fast that it could not be seen with the naked eye, let alone locked on to it with mental power.
At this moment, in Søren's mental world, because he released eight, ten times more mental power, the Dragon Power sensed the world.
Suddenly, everything around him slowed down, as if time began to slow down in his mental perception.
It slowed down by three times, five times, or even more!
Suddenly, the fast black ray seemed to have become a slow-motion scene in a movie. Its every move was clearly perceived.
Locked on, completely locked on. Moreover, he had calculated the amount of advance and the trajectory of the movement.
It was foolproof, absolutely foolproof.
Whoosh … Søren's arrow suddenly shot out.
All of this, in Søren's perception, was slow motion and deceleration.
In the real world, all of this happened extremely fast, in less than half a second.
Everyone present suddenly saw an incomparably gorgeous, shocking, and poetic scene.
Blindfolded, Søren lowered his head and listened to the black hawk in the air with his ears.
The black hawk flew out like lightning. Just a moment later, Søren's arrow also chased like black lightning.
The two points were approaching, approaching.
The black arrow was quickly chasing the black bird.
Then …
Whoosh …
The black hawk didn't even have time to let out a scream before it was shot through in the air. It trembled in the air and then suddenly fell.
The arrow actually hit!
