Since things have come to this point, unless you choose to withdraw, you have no choice but to obediently shoot arrows.
There were only 15 people left, and Jiang Fan was in the second wave, following the order.
The receptionist said to Yang Xiaoqiang, "Boss, what do you think of that guy named Tang Fan's performance this time?"
Yang Xiaoqiang: "We'll find out soon enough."
After one round, it was Jiang Fan's group's turn.
As before, Jiang Fan nocked the arrow and shot it. The aiming process took only three seconds, and then the arrow flew out.
In fact, as Spirit Master, he doesn't need even a second to aim. His Psychic Power can completely cover the entire shooting range, so even if he closes his eyes, his arrows can fly wherever he wants.
But we still have to put on a show.
"Thud--" The arrow ignored all conditions and hit the center of the target.
"Impressive!" Another member, who had remained silent until now, suddenly stood up.
This member is named Wang Jiangang. Although he is only Early-Stage First-Rank Martial Artist, he is extremely large and has superhuman strength. Therefore, even if Mid-Stage First Rank in his team were to fight him head-on, he might not have a complete chance of winning.
You might accidentally fall into a trap at the hands of this big guy.
"Tch, one arrow doesn't mean anything; it might just be good luck."
These words came from another member of the studio, Zhou Xiaoyan, a Middle-Stage First-Rank Martial Artist.
"Thud--" Jiang Fan shot another arrow, and just like before, it hit the bullseye again, this time piercing through the bullseye after the first arrow.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Xiaoyan's eyes widened in shock, and she tilted her head forward like a large white goose.
After that, Jiang Fan shot all the arrows in a row through a single arrow, hitting the bullseye.
This scene once again made him the center of attention.
He had previously looked down on Jiang Fan's bald head, but at this moment he felt miserable.
Because in such windy conditions and with the target moving, it is extremely difficult to hit the target, let alone shoot arrows continuously, hitting the bullseye every time, especially after piercing through the target with an arrow.
Is this even something a human could do?
So now, whenever the bald man thinks about how he offended Jiang Fan, his legs tremble uncontrollably.
Although he was Late-Stage Martial Apprentice and stronger than Jiang Fan, he felt he wouldn't be able to dodge an arrow if the kid held a grudge and secretly attacked him.
The more he thought about it, the more sweat beaded on his forehead. Finally, he quietly withdrew from the crowd and, taking advantage of everyone's attention being on Jiang Fan, slunk away from the shooting range.
"Good lad! You're really something else! A sharpshooter, definitely a future sharpshooter!"
Yang Xiaoqiang shouted excitedly, thinking to himself: If this kid becomes stronger in the future, he will undoubtedly be someone that all the major forces will be scrambling to get.
Why do I say this? Because strength is the foundation. Otherwise, even if you have accurate shooting skills, it's useless if you can't even pierce the skin of an opponent of a higher rank or encounter a monster.
After this round of selection, including Jiang Fan, only four people remain.
"Everyone, come with me to a place now; this will be the final test."
Soon, Jiang Fan and the three qualified candidates followed Yang Xiaoqiang and the others to the city gate of Fortress No. 31.
One of the qualified candidates couldn't help but ask, "What are we doing here?"
Yang Xiaoqiang smiled and looked at everyone, "The final assessment will be held outside this fortress, in the Inner Wilderness Zone. Don't worry, we won't go deep; we'll just conduct the final assessment on the edge. As I mentioned earlier, archers have to consider many factors when aiming and shooting, including wind, humidity, and light. The environment in the wilderness is quite different from that inside the fortress. Our studio occasionally receives missions to go into the Inner Wilderness Zone, so we're giving you a preview of the survival conditions Inner Wilderness Zone."
After these words were spoken, the faces of those who had passed the test turned ashen, their eyes filled with terror.
"No, no! This is insane, absolutely insane! Your studio actually sends out fortresses! I don't want to go to the Inner Wilderness Zone, I don't want to!" Some people were so frightened that they backed away, some even sitting on the ground with a thud. After getting up, they turned and ran.
The other two were also terrified. "I—I give up!"
After saying that, the man ran away.
Yang Xiaoqiang looked at the third person and asked, "Are you staying?"
"No! I won't! I have elderly parents and children at home, I can't go and die!"
They ran away again.
In the end, only Jiang Fan was left.
The five members of Xiaoqiang Studio all turned their attention to Jiang Fan.
The next second, Jiang Fan spoke.
Let's go.
Walk?
The group of people were all stunned for a moment.
"Are you sure you want to leave the fortress?" Yang Xiaoqiang asked.
Jiang Fan nodded.
"Aren't you scared?" Yang Xiaoqiang asked again.
Jiang Fan: "If I said I wasn't afraid at all, I doubt you'd believe me, right?"
This answer left Yang Xiaoqiang and the others even more confused.
"If you're afraid, then why did you come with me out of the fortress to the Inner Wilderness Zone?"
Jiang Fan smiled. "Because you never intended to take me to the Inner Wilderness Zone."
Hearing such confident words and seeing Jiang Fan's composure, Yang Xiaoqiang and the others became even more curious about Jiang Fan.
Why do you say that?
"Because you are a very mature squad, with everyone above First Rank. How could such an experienced and mature squad recklessly take a newbie like me to the Inner Wilderness Zone? Although I've never been to the Inner Wilderness Zone, I know that a standard squad needs at least one archer. This archer is crucial for protecting the squad. And you just said you'd take us newbies to the Inner Wilderness Zone, surely you don't mean you don't like us and want to kill us. Without an archer, you also lose ranged fire support, thus putting yourselves in danger."
Jiang Fan's analysis greatly satisfied Yang Xiaoqiang and the others.
"That's right, you're very smart. Our team needs intelligent people like you."
Yang Xiaoqiang gave Jiang Fan's performance a very high rating.
"You don't know, our last archer died because of his own stupidity. A while ago, our team went to the Inner Wilderness Zone and encountered two monsters hunting for food. Both were One Star -One Star monsters, not the strongest among them, but because they coordinated so well, they gave us a lot of trouble. The archer saw that we were gradually losing ground, and considering the monsters' inherent strength, he knew that if we continued to fight, we would likely be the ones to die. So he chose to retreat alone, but as soon as he left, one of the monsters gave chase."
