Transmigration begins with archery training

"bow?"

Xu Bin was originally planning to go home for dinner.

He didn't live with his father, but in a military village near the garrison, where he also had a wife.

"You come with me."

Xu Bin frowned, his face displeased.

The two arrived at the garrison's armory, and after speaking with the officer in charge, they went to the warehouse specifically for storing bows and arrows.

"You're going to use it for hunting, aren't you?"

Xu Bin said, "Normally, soldiers are not allowed to possess weapons before being officially assigned to their posts. However, I happen to not use bows and arrows, so there's a vacancy for a flag officer position. You can take it and use it for now."

He paused for a moment: "Also, I'm very busy. If there's nothing urgent, you can go to your superior."

The meaning was clear: he helped him get the bow and arrows, and he didn't want to bother him again.

"Alright, San Shi will remember Xu Qi Guan's help."

Chen Sanshi is not one to trouble others.

I had to do this, even if it meant swallowing my pride, just to get promoted.

The clerk unlocked the door and pushed it open.

Xu Bin left after giving his instructions, leaving Chen Sanshi to choose for himself.

On the wooden planks of the warehouse, an entire wall was covered with bows.

The standard bows and arrows used by the Dasheng army were mostly of two types.

Small bow and large bow.

The Dashao bow is also known as the Kaiyuan bow.

Among them, the tensile strength ranges from four to two stones.

The clerk in charge of guarding the warehouse said, "Take the bow that heavy enough you can draw, and you will be given twenty arrows and a quiver."

"However, the heaviest standard bow here is the two-stone bow."

"Even the heaviest bows are only used by military officers, who need to order them from the army's forge."

"But most people don't need it."

He watched as Chen Sanshi took down a large bow from the far corner and hurriedly said, "Hey, hey, what are you doing? That's the heaviest bow, the Ershi bow."

"What I want is the two-stone bow."

Chen Sanshi's panel data shows that he can easily draw a bow with a stone-sized diameter, not that he can "only" draw a bow with a stone-sized diameter.

The fact that it can be easily pulled apart means that the strength is far more than that.

He estimated that the two-stone bow could be drawn, but it would be quite difficult.

However, considering that my strength will continue to increase after learning martial arts, it's better to get a heavier one in advance, so that I don't have to buy a new bow in just a few days.

"Two stones?"

The clerk looked the young man up and down, clearly not a military officer.

He quickly said, "Don't be ridiculous! Let me remind you, there's a shooting range outside. You need to hit the target from sixty paces away to take it."

"no problem."

Without wasting any words, Chen Sanshi went straight to the shooting range outside the warehouse.

He held the bow and arrow in his hand, examining them and familiarizing himself with their feel.

This bow is the heaviest of the Kaiyuan bows, with a body made of special quality purple bamboo, a tip made of mulberry and elm wood, and a bow tip made of ox horn and hard wood. Its structure is much more complex than that of a recurve bow.

He drew his bow and arrow, and found that after two days of stance training, his strength had noticeably increased.

Is the effect of martial arts training really that immediate?

No wonder it consumes such a huge amount of energy from the human body.

Two stone bows, which is three hundred catties.

Chen Sanshi gritted his teeth, his back and arm muscles working together, veins bulging on his forehead, as he nocked the arrow and slowly drew back the bowstring.

"Om-"

A heavy voice rang out.

The bowstring twanged like thunder, the arrow flew like lightning!

"Bam—"

Almost instantly, the arrow struck the target with a loud thud, leaving a large hole in the two-inch-thick target before falling to the ground some distance away.

"The bullseye?!"

The official rushed into the shooting range in a panic, looked at the hole in the target, and exclaimed in shock, "Seventy paces, two stone bows, and the bullseye?!"

When Chen Sanshitou first experienced the heavy bow, he was startled by the heavy impact.

If this were used to shoot people, even ordinary armor wouldn't be able to stop it!

"Are you new here, just starting to learn martial arts?"

The clerk ran back after picking up the arrows: "He hasn't even started practicing blood cultivation yet, and he can already draw a two-stone bow? Does Xu Bin have such a fellow villager?"

Chen Sanshi asked, "Can I take it now?"

"Ok, Ok."

The clerk nodded vigorously: "Come here, I'll give you another twenty arrows."

"Let me make this clear first: damage during peacetime will be compensated. Each arrow costs fifty coins, so use them sparingly."

A heavy bow naturally requires heavy arrows.

The price will also be higher than that of ordinary arrows.

Chen Sanshi clearly felt an increase in proficiency after shooting the arrow just now.

Skill: Archery (Proficient)

Progress: (230/500)

[Effect: Naturally gifted archer, can easily draw a 1-stone bow, and within 70 paces, can shoot three times with a flick of the finger, hitting the target every time]

With the experience gained from hunting over the past few days, my proficiency is now nearly halfway there.

With the heavy bow, it shouldn't be long before I can advance to the next stage.

"So hungry!"

Chen Sanshi had exhausted himself in the past half day, and a pancake was no use to him, so he simply carried his bow and arrows home.

The military discipline of the garrison was lax.

In addition, the soldiers lived in the nearby military settlements and villages, so they could go home at any time after reporting for duty each day.

Chen Sanshi doesn't even have a formal position yet, and nobody wants to take care of him.

As he approached Yanbian Village, his blue armor and red hat attracted the attention of the villagers.

"I was wondering why I hadn't seen you for the past two days. Turns out you've gone to serve as a soldier."

"I have to say, Little Stone actually looks quite convincing in this outfit."

"It may seem impressive, but I think we don't have many good days left."

"You bald-headed bastard, you deserve to die!"

"Ha, you don't believe me? Just you wait and see!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Sanshi stopped and walked up to a middle-aged man with bald patches and ringworm on his head, and asked, "Uncle Laizi, what do you mean by that?"

The bald man looked around, then lowered his voice and said, "I heard from Er Gou and the others that Qin Xiong's younger brother is planning to kill you."

"Qin Feng?"

Did they come knocking on our door again?

Chen Sanshi was not surprised at all, nor was he afraid.

Having military household status, I would never harm someone without the other party's evidence.

Not to mention the ongoing wars.

The status of military households is completely different in peacetime and wartime.

Harming military households without reason is tantamount to going against the imperial court.

Moreover, Qin Feng is not a person of high rank or power; otherwise, his brother would not have needed to go to such lengths to raise money to support his martial arts training, at most resorting to underhanded tactics.

"Thank you for the reminder, Uncle Laizi."

Chen Sanshi strode inside.

As soon as he entered the village, he saw several of Qin Xiong's hooligans running off to deliver the message.

……

"Second brother!"

"Chen Sanshi has returned to the village, but..."

Tianyuan Martial Arts School.

Qin Feng sheathed his longsword, glanced sideways, and said coldly, "But what?"

"He was wearing a soldier's uniform."

The rogue said, "I heard that he went to join the army these past few days. With him wearing that uniform, does that mean we can't just make a move?"

"..."

Qin Feng closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and suppressed his agitation.

From what he learned, the hunter surnamed Chen was the only one with the power and the potential to cause his brother's disappearance.

The plan was to cut off the man's arm first to force him to reveal his brother's whereabouts, but...

"I never expected to become a military household."

The Great Sheng Dynasty was in a time of constant warfare, and he was merely a martial arts school disciple. To kill a soldier in the street was simply courting death.

"No, we can't let him learn martial arts!"

Qin Feng suddenly felt a sense of impending doom: "This kid used to be a scholar who never lifted a finger, but as soon as he picked up a bow and arrow, he immediately had food to eat. He's not bad at physical fitness."

"If he really becomes a soldier and then gains power over time, wouldn't I be creating more difficulties for myself?"

"We can't let him have it easy, absolutely not."
