The prince is fierce: Who dares to steal my woman?

Upon hearing this, Wang Xuanyu replied resolutely, "General, within a hundred paces, I will shoot wherever you tell me to shoot, and my arrows will never miss. If I miss by even an inch, I am willing to accept military punishment without complaint!"

Xiao Jinyan nodded slightly, her smile widening.

"Okay, be brave!"

After speaking, Xiao Jinyan strode forward, his steps steady and powerful, each step seemingly measuring some invisible distance. After about eighty steps, he stopped, turned to face Wang Xuanyu, his gaze piercing, pointing directly at his chest, "Shoot here, Xuanyu."

Wang Xuanyu was stunned, a look of disbelief flashing in his eyes. He wondered if he had misheard.

"General, what do you mean by this? You're playing with your life!"

His voice trembled slightly, clearly shocked by Xiao Jinyan's actions.

"Come, Xuan Yu, no need for further words, shoot an arrow into my chest."

Xiao Jinyan's tone was calm yet resolute, as if he were discussing something utterly ordinary. His eyes held no fear, only trust in and a test for Wang Xuanyu.

This scene instantly caused an uproar in the camp. The soldiers whispered among themselves, discussing the matter. Some were astonished, some were worried, and some were even secretly sweating for Wang Xuanyu, wondering if he had somehow offended Xiao Jinyan and was now giving him a hard time.

"Your Highness, what are you doing? How can you take such a risk!"

Luo Chuan's voice rang out from the crowd, tinged with anxiety and confusion, as he tried to dissuade this seemingly crazy act.

Wang Xuanyu was even more surprised. He looked at Xiao Jinyan with confusion and bewilderment in his eyes.

"General, why are you doing this? I...I...How could I do this!" His voice choked with emotion, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.

Xiao Jinyan smiled slightly, a smile that was both meaningful and carried an undeniable determination: "Xuanyu, remember what you said. If you miss by even an inch, you will be punished according to military law. Military orders are as solid as mountains."

At that moment, the air seemed to freeze, and everyone's eyes were focused on the bow and arrow in Wang Xuanyu's hand...

Wang Xuanyu's eyes turned cold as he slowly raised his longbow, the arrowhead gleaming chillingly in the sunlight, pointing directly at Xiao Jinyan not far away. Everyone present was shocked, their eyes widening in disbelief. Wang Xuanyu—he actually dared to fire that arrow?

In the midst of this deathly silence, Wang Xuanyu loosened his grip, and the arrow, like lightning, streaked across the sky with unstoppable momentum, heading straight for Xiao Jinyan's vitals. However, at this critical moment, a miracle occurred—the instant the arrow touched Xiao Jinyan's body, it seemed to have struck an invisible barrier, suddenly bouncing away with a crisp "ding" sound.

This scene was beyond everyone's imagination; shock froze on their faces, leaving them speechless with astonishment. They looked at each other, as if they had witnessed the most unbelievable sight in the world.

Even Wang Xuanyu himself had a look of disbelief in his eyes. He knew clearly that with his arm strength and archery skills, even an arrow shaft without an arrowhead was enough to pierce through the flesh of an ordinary person and leave a deep wound, though not fatal.

Just now, in order not to hurt Xiao Jinyan, Wang Xuanyu secretly removed the arrowhead.

Xiao Jinyan calmly picked up the innocent arrow from the ground, gently shook it, and found the tip was empty. A playful smile appeared on his lips as he looked at Wang Xuanyu, his voice tinged with mockery: "Xuanyu, what's the meaning of this? Why did you remove the arrowhead?"

Upon seeing this, Wang Xuanyu immediately understood that Xiao Jinyan must have concealed armor under his brocade robe; otherwise, with the force just now, even a headless arrow would be beyond the reach of flesh and blood.

Xiao Jinyan said casually, "Xuanyu, switch to an arrow with an arrowhead and keep shooting!"

"Alright, since it's the general's order, then I won't stand on ceremony."

Wang Xuanyu took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with even more determination. He drew another arrow from his quiver, this time with a gleaming, sharp arrowhead pointing directly at Xiao Jinyan. "Take this arrow with a pointed head!"

As Wang Xuanyu finished speaking, the entire venue fell silent once again, and all eyes were focused on Xiao Jinyan.

Wang Xuanyu took a deep breath, adjusted himself to his optimal state, and then released his fingers. The arrow, like an angry dragon emerging from the sea, whistled through the air and shot straight towards Xiao Jinyan. As expected, the arrow bounced back, failing to harm Xiao Jinyan in the slightest.

Xiao Jinyan slowly bent down, gently picking up the arrow that shimmered with a pale golden luster in the sunlight. A playful smile appeared on her lips as she said to Wang Xuanyu, who was not far away, "Xuanyu, why did you only use three-tenths of your strength? That won't do. You have to use your full strength."

Wang Xuanyu was now absolutely certain that Xiao Jinyan was wearing armor, and that this armor was no ordinary item; otherwise, how could it have so easily blocked his arrows?

"Alright, General, then I will give it my all."

Wang Xuanyu's pupils contracted slightly. He took a deep breath, gathered all his strength in his arms, and locked onto his target with eyes like a hawk. He drew the bowstring taut again, and with a deep and firm "Go!", the arrow, like a shooting star streaking across the night sky, whistled as it struck Xiao Jinyan's heart.

However, to everyone's astonishment, the arrow was bounced back by an invisible force the instant it touched Xiao Jinyan's body, making a clear "clang" sound, like metal striking stone, which made the surrounding air tremble.

Those on the training ground were all shocked and speechless at the sight, and they discussed it among themselves. Xiao Jinyan was like a steel beast that had stepped out of an ancient legend, surrounded by an inviolable halo, which even the sharpest arrows could not penetrate.

Some astute individuals have already realized that Xiao Jinyan is wearing some kind of specially made armor, which gives him such amazing defensive capabilities.

"Soldiers, do you know why arrows cannot pierce me? It's because I'm wearing this."

Xiao Jinyan walked over slowly, his steps steady and powerful. He gently unfastened his brocade robe, his movements elegant and composed. As the robe slipped off, a vest-like "armor" gleaming with a cold silver light came into view. It looked somewhat like a woman's undergarment, very lightweight.

Among the crowd, some of the bolder soldiers couldn't help but step forward, their eyes filled with curiosity and awe, and asked in trembling voices, "General, what is the origin of your armor? How can it withstand such powerful arrows?"

Heh... This thing is so tough, even bullets can't penetrate it, let alone a mere bow and arrow.

Xiao Jinyan smiled slightly, his gaze deep, and slowly said, "This armor is called a 'bulletproof vest.' Not only is it very lightweight to wear, but it can also withstand powerful bows and crossbows, as well as swords and axes. It is indestructible."

As Xiao Jinyan spoke, he took off his bulletproof vest and handed it to the soldiers around him, gesturing for them to pass it around and take a look.
