Slap!
The table was slammed hard. However, the person who slammed the table was not Lu An, but Liu Lan!
The table was made of high-quality ores. Not only was it hard, but it was also very precious. However, under Liu Lan's slap, cracks appeared on the stone table. It was obvious that Liu Lan had used a lot of strength!
"He did not use any pills or inheritance. He was cultivating by himself!" Liu Lan glared at the six of them and said loudly, "I saw it clearly these few days. He was cultivating even at night. I did not see him using any pills to help himself. What I want to ask you is, how much of your strength is cultivated by yourself, and not by eating expensive medicinal pills as if they were rice, forcefully piling up your strength? "
Hearing this, Wan Chong and Song Qian's expressions changed.
"Don't think that everyone is like you just because you are idling around every day. Measuring the heart of a gentleman with one's own yardstick is the most laughable thing in the world! "Liu Lan said angrily.
After Liu Lan finished speaking, the entire pavilion fell silent. Lu An looked at Liu Lan with slight surprise, while the other six were all in a daze. Moreover, Wan Chong and Song Qian's faces were a little gloomy.
"Xiao Lan, we have known each other for so many years. It's not good to talk about us like this in front of outsiders, right?" Wan Chong said with a dark face.
"Yeah, why are you so captivated by this kid? Or do you really think that he can become a strong person in the future? He is only a Level 3 Heavenly Master. In our alliance, he can only do odd jobs. "Song Qian said with a displeased expression.
Liu Lan took a deep breath. She knew that she had spoken too harshly. Although Wan Chong and Song Qian were not good people, they had known each other for a long time. Moreover, they were all part of the Three Great Alliances. They should not be in such a bad relationship.
However, when she heard these people slandering Lu An, she could not help but feel angry.
At this moment, Lu An stood up and said to the crowd, "Since I am an outsider, I have no need to drink with outsiders. Everyone, have fun. I will take my leave first. "
With that, Lu An turned to leave. However, just as he was about to leave, Wan Chong suddenly spoke up.
"Brother Lu, there's no need for that. We were just speaking casually. How could we treat you as an outsider?" Wan Chong laughed and walked up to Lu An. "Besides, Xiaolan likes you so much. Xiaolan's friends are our friends, right?"
The other five people were taken aback, but they quickly nodded. When Wan Chong saw this, he smiled and said to Lu An, "Look, everyone has good intentions. My question just now was purely out of curiosity. I didn't mean to disrespect you. Let's all sit down and have a drink. We'll pretend nothing happened. "
As he spoke, Wan Chong picked up the wine glass and downed it in one gulp. "I'll drink first as a toast. Xiao Lan, don't be angry."
Looking at Wan Chong's appearance, Liu Lan couldn't be angry anymore. Lu An didn't leave and sat down again.
After everyone drank a glass of wine, Song Qian opened his mouth and said to Lu An with a smile, "Actually, we invited Brother Lu here for two reasons. Firstly, we wanted to make a good friend. Secondly, we wanted to make friends through martial arts. Brother Lu, you should know that our Black Wolf City is a city that respects strength. If Brother Lu is strong enough, you will win all of our respect. "
As soon as he said this, Lu An and Liu Lan were both taken aback and looked at Song Qian.
"What do you mean?" Lu An asked calmly.
"Simple. We'll send someone to fight with Brother Lu. According to the rules of the martial arts arena, we'll fight in this garden. We won't tell anyone who wins or loses. We just want to see Brother Lu's strength. "Song Qian said with a smile," What do you think, Brother Lu? "
Lu An looked at Song Qian and shook his head. "My strength isn't high, and I'm not strong in the martial arts arena. If we really fight, I'm afraid I'll disappoint everyone."
Song Qian was stunned. He didn't expect that Lu An would reject his offer. He couldn't help but frown. "Brother Lu, are you really not going to give us face?"
"It's not that I don't want to, it's that I don't have the strength." Lu An said again, "If it's something else, I can play with you. But when it comes to fighting, it's hard to avoid getting hurt. It's better for me to protect myself."
When everyone heard Lu An's words, they couldn't help but be stunned. They didn't expect Lu An to be so cowardly. They couldn't help but sneer.
Liu Lan looked at Lu An with disappointment. She didn't expect that Lu An wouldn't fight with her or anyone else. She thought that Lu An didn't want to fight with her because she was a woman. But Song Qian didn't respond to such obvious provocation and bullying. Was he still a man?
She couldn't understand Lu An more and more, but Lu An turned a blind eye to the surrounding gazes.
"Since Brother Lu is so afraid, we naturally can't force you." Wan Chong laughed and patted Song Qian on the shoulder. "We just happen to have some toys here. Why don't we play together?"
"Sure, sure!" Before anyone else could speak, the four people behind Wan Chong all spoke up. Wan Chong stood up and took out a lot of things from his ring and placed them on the stone table.
"Here are rings, bows, rocks, and cuju. I wonder what Brother Lu wants to play?" Wan Chong looked at Lu An and asked.
Lu An looked at the things on the stone table. If it was two years ago, he would probably only know about bows. But now, he had seen a lot more and knew how to play with the things on the table.
Rings were very simple. You just had to successfully put the rings on something far away. Bows were used to shoot arrows. Rocks were used to dig a hole in the ground and swing a stick to hit a small ball into the hole. Cuju was used to kick the ball through a ring in the air. If the opponent didn't catch it, it was considered a win.
"Up to you." Lu An said.
Wan Chong was stunned. He then smiled and said, "If that's the case, how about we play archery first?"
"Okay!"
"Okay!"
The people around responded. Soon, Wan Chong distributed the bows to everyone. He thought for a while and pointed to a big tree outside the courtyard. "There's a sign hanging on that tree. There's a red line between the sign and the tree. Whoever can break the red line will win. How about that?"
Everyone heard and started to discuss. Because the tree was about five hundred feet away from the pavilion, it was very close to the maximum shooting range of the bow. Although this bow looked a lot better than the average bow, when the strength reached five hundred feet, it was still pitifully small. More importantly, if they weren't Level 3 Heavenly Masters, they might not be able to see the red line. To calculate the accuracy of the arrow beyond five hundred feet, even the average master archer might not be able to do it.
"Brother Lu, you don't have any objections, right?" Wan Chong looked at Lu An and said with a smile.
"No." Lu An said.
Wan Chong smiled and looked at Song Qian. Both of their eyes were filled with the glow of victory. Usually, they played with bows and arrows the most. Not to mention other things, but their archery skills were absolutely top-notch.
However, the red line was a little far from them. It was impossible to hit it in one shot. They had to shoot at least three arrows to help them find the right angle before they could hit it.
Thinking of this, Wan Chong looked at Lu An and said with a smile, "Brother Lu is the guest. Why don't we let Brother Lu shoot the first arrow?"
Everyone secretly laughed when they heard this. In archery, if you let others shoot first, you could accumulate experience based on the other party's archery skills and the final result. This Lu An's arrow was completely giving everyone a chance.
However, Lu An did not hesitate. He nodded as if he didn't think too much and said, "Sure."
With that, Lu An picked up an arrow and placed it on the bow. He was ready to start.
"This isn't fair!" Liu Lan hurriedly said, trying to stop him. "How can you let Lu An shoot first? You guys play here every day. Don't tell me you want the guest to shoot first …"
However, just as Liu Lan was speaking, Lu An had already drawn his bow and aimed at the red line in the distance. Before Liu Lan could finish speaking, he had already released the bowstring and released the arrow.
Once the arrow was released, everyone hurriedly looked over. Liu Lan did not say anything. The arrow was very fast. It drew a long arc in the air and went straight for the red line in the distance.
There was no deviation in the angle.
Everyone saw it clearly. The arrow did not deviate to the left or right. In the absence of wind, the angle was perfect.
It just depended on whether there was a deviation in the height.
Everyone watched as the arrow went further and further away. After a short two breaths, they suddenly saw the sign in the distance fall to the ground.
It hit!
