He hit it!
He actually hit it!
The seven people in the pavilion were all dumbfounded as they watched the signboard fall to the ground and disappear into the courtyard's wall. They didn't even have time to react.
No one thought that Lu An would be able to hit the target with a single strike. Therefore, when this happened, no one even had the chance to be shocked. They just stood there quietly, their eyes filled with disbelief.
However, Lu An had already put down the bow after the arrow was shot because he was 100% sure that he had hit the target.
He had practiced his archery in the Middle Realm City.
That day in Middle Border City, he had also competed with someone in archery in a courtyard like this. That person was the archery instructor of Middle Border City's army. After learning from that person's archery skills, Lu An had developed his own understanding of archery. The goal this time seemed complicated, but it might not be as complicated as the previous competition.
However, Lu An couldn't help but think of Han Ya when he thought of Middle Border City. He didn't know where Han Ya and Wei Tao were now. When he returned to Meteor Trail City, he wanted to bring them to Purple Lake City, but there was no news.
After confirming that he had hit the target, Lu An turned around and looked at the dumbfounded Wan Chong. He said calmly, "It's your turn."
"…"
Lu An's words brought everyone back to their senses. They all looked at Lu An in disbelief, including Liu Lan. Her eyes were full of shock.
She realized that this young man had too many secrets that she didn't know.
Wan Chong gritted his teeth. After all, he was the one who had suggested this. If he just let it go, it would be a slap to his face. He could only brace himself and order someone, "Go and put up a new sign!"
Soon, a new sign was put up on the tree in the distance. Wan Chong took a deep breath, picked up his bow, and aimed at the red line in the distance. His gaze was extremely serious.
Then, Wan Chong released the arrow and it flew straight for the red line.
However … the arrow missed the red line by a full three meters. This result undoubtedly made Wan Chong feel even more embarrassed.
Lu An glanced at Wan Chong. He knew that he couldn't hit it because Wan Chong's hand was shaking.
Wan Chong gritted his teeth. He could only brace himself and take out a second arrow. He shot it again, but it still missed.
Not only Wan Chong, but the five people behind Wan Chong also felt their faces stiffen.
The third time … the fourth time … Finally, on the eighth time, Wan Chong's arrow hit the distant sign instead of the red line. But because the power of the arrow was strong enough, the red line was weak, and the token was sent flying.
Wan Chong finally heaved a sigh of relief when he witnessed this scene, and then he turned to look at Lu An. His face was actually slightly purple as he said, "You won the first round of archery. Now, let's compete in the second round!"
Lu An looked at Wan Chong and asked, "What are we competing in?"
Wan Chong's face stiffened again. He turned his head to look at the other three items on the stone table. Hoop, Stone Hammer, and Cuju. These three items were not as difficult as the first item, the bow and arrow. They couldn't even beat this young man in archery, so they didn't have any confidence in the other three events.
Wan Chong lowered his head and pondered. Song Qian was also frowning. The four people behind them also pretended to think. On the contrary, Lu An and Liu Lan were very relaxed.
Finally, after thinking for a while, Song Qian's eyes suddenly lit up. He raised his head and said, "Why don't we compete in alcohol tolerance?"
As soon as he said this, the other five people were stunned. They looked at each other and immediately nodded. Indeed, this group of people drank every day. Over the years, their alcohol tolerance was probably more than Lu An's drinking of water. Lu An was so young. How many times could he have drunk?
Wan Chong felt that it was very reasonable. He immediately turned to Lu An and said loudly, "Alcohol tolerance represents a man's courage and breadth of mind. Do you agree to compete in alcohol tolerance?"
"Alcohol is just a type of water. It doesn't have that much meaning." Lu An looked at Wan Chong and said calmly, "But I agree."
Hearing Lu An's words, Wan Chong smiled and immediately waved his hand to order the servants, "Bring the alcohol!"
Soon, a total of three large jars of alcohol were brought over. They almost couldn't fit on the stone table. Each jar was two feet wide and five feet tall. Just one jar of alcohol was enough for a dozen ordinary people to drink.
Wan Chong looked at the three jars of alcohol and patted them with a smile. He said to Lu An, "Don't blame me for not warning you in advance. This alcohol is not ordinary. I know you're not a local, but the alcohol in Tian Lang Dynasty is much stronger than the alcohol in other countries. Especially in Heilang City. The alcohol in Tian Lang Dynasty is famous for its strength. "
As he spoke, Wan Chong opened a jar of alcohol. Immediately, a pungent smell spread out and filled the entire pavilion. Even the four people behind Wan Chong and Song Qian frowned.
"Also, we're not drinking ordinary alcohol this time." Song Qian walked up and said to Lu An, "We're drinking Fire Wine."
Lu An was stunned. Fire Wine?
Song Qian didn't explain. Instead, he used actions to explain. He put a bowl into the jar and scooped out a large bowl of alcohol. He held it in his hand and released flames with his other hand and threw it into the bowl.
Bang.
In an instant, the flames engulfed the surface of the alcohol and burned it. Lu An's eyes narrowed. He didn't expect that the alcohol could be ignited.
"This is Fire Wine. How about it? Do you dare to drink it?" Song Qian looked at Lu An and asked provocatively.
"Lu An, you can't drink it!" Before Lu An could speak, Liu Lan hurriedly stopped him, "You haven't drunk this kind of alcohol before, so you don't know the trick. If you drink the fire, it will burn your throat and even your internal organs! "
Lu An frowned slightly. He glanced at Liu Lan and then at the burning alcohol. After thinking for a while, he said, "I'll drink it."
"You've got guts!" Song Qian laughed and said, "Come, pour out all the alcohol!"
Soon, the servants poured out all the alcohol. A total of twenty bowls of alcohol were placed on the table and lit up. It was a spectacular sight. After the servants left, Lu An looked at Song Qian and asked, "How do we compete?"
"If it's ordinary alcohol, we usually compete to see who can drink more. But this Fire Wine is different. We can compete to see who can drink it faster." Song Qian smiled and said, "Between the two of us, whoever drinks the most alcohol in the time it takes to burn an incense is the winner. How about that?"
"Sure." Lu An said.
Immediately, the servants brought the incense and lit it. Lu An and Song Qian both moved immediately.
Song Qian immediately picked up a bowl of alcohol and drank it in his mouth. There was indeed a technique to drinking Fire Wine. Song Qian only opened his mouth halfway, allowing the alcohol to flow through his teeth. This way, his teeth could keep the fire outside. In addition, Song Qian was a Fire Attribute Heavenly Master. His teeth and mouth could withstand this temperature, but his internal organs couldn't.
Although Song Qian could drink Fire Wine, it was too strong. Even he rarely drank it. After he finished the first bowl, his mouth was full of fire. He spat out the fire fiercely.
Then, he quickly reached for the second bowl. However, when he was about to take it, he found that the expressions of the people around him were not right. They were looking at him in shock.
At this moment, he reached for the wine and suddenly found that there were four empty bowls on the table. Only one of them was drunk by him. Where did the other three go?
Thinking of this, his body trembled. He struggled not to raise his head, but he could only look forward.
What he saw was Lu An drinking.
Lu An did not make any unnecessary movements. He drank the Fire Wine in big gulps as if he was drinking water. He was the complete opposite of him.
"Gulp, gulp …"
Bang.
Lu An placed the bowl on the table again. At this moment, he had already drunk four bowls. He found that Song Qian was looking at him, so he kindly reminded him, "You have to hurry up. You can't just watch me drink."
With that, Lu An picked up the fifth bowl and prepared to continue drinking.
Song Qian looked at Lu An with a face full of horror. Was this guy a monster? How could he drink fire into his stomach?
However, no matter what, he could not lose. He quickly picked up the wine and continued drinking. He did not even want to see how much Lu An had drunk. Finally, when he finished the third bowl, his face was flushed. He could not help but look at Lu An.
However, he found that Lu An was looking at him too.
"You … Why are you looking at me?" Song Qian pointed at Lu An. He was in a daze as he asked loudly.
"Nothing. I just wanted to give you a chance." Lu An looked at Song Qian and said calmly, "If you hurry up, we can still tie."
Song Qian was stunned. He seemed to realize something and quickly looked at the wine on the table. He saw that the ten bowls on Lu An's side were all empty. Only his side had seven empty bowls.
"You!" Song Qian was furious. He pointed at Lu An and glared at him. It was obvious that this young man was toying with him. However, he could not be looked down upon here!
Therefore, he picked up the fourth bowl and drank it …
