Chapter 204
The middle-aged man seemed eager to try his hands with the bow, but the kid was the one who saw it first . No matter how much he liked the bow, he did not have the heart to snatch it from the kid .
“You can go first . ” Shen Yanxiao kept a relaxed attitude toward the scene because she felt that the bow was more complicated than one would expect . Based on what Great Master Duan had said, it seemed like no one would be able to pull the bowstring except for the one fated to be its owner . She had resonated with the bow earlier that day, so it mush have meant that the bow was destined to be hers . However, she was also curious to see if there was any truth to Great Master Duan’s words .
The man looked at Shen Yanxiao gratefully, and he walked toward the shooting range with the bow in his hand . He raised the bow slowly with one hand and then attempted to pull the bowstring with another . He held his breath as if he wielded a feathered arrow in his hand, and he was ready to shoot .
The man had a beautiful posture . Shen Yanxiao recalled the scene where Meng Yiheng pulled a bow at the Lianjin Weapon Shop . Even though he also had a perfect posture, it paled into insignificance when compared with the middle-aged man in front of her .
At that very moment, the man gathered his concentration and pulled the bowstring lightly with his fingers .
However… the bowstring did not budge at all!
It was as if the bow was made of stone, and it remained stiff . The stretched taut bowstring formed a straight line, and its body remained unchanged .
The man was shocked, and he tried to exert more force on the bowstring . It was as if he refused to believe in hearsay and just wanted to draw the bowstring again .
Unfortunately, the bowstring persisted and remained unmoved!
The joy on the middle-aged man faded . He released his hands helplessly and turned toward Great Master Duan, who rejoiced at his rather shameful actions . The man did not know whether to laugh or cry at his predicament . “I can’t pull it . ”
Shen Yanxiao was shocked too . Based on the man’s posture and actions, one could deduce that he was an experienced archer . At least, he was better than the Saint Laurent Academy’s top student in the Archer Division, Meng Yiheng . However, how could such a great archer not manage to draw the bow?
Did that mean there was truth in what Great Master Duan had said?
Was there truly such a weapon in the world?
“Only a single person in the world could use a Spirit Weapon, and it would only serve one master in its lifetime . Even though this bow is incomplete, there are still traces of a Spirit Weapon in it . You’re a pretty lucky kid,” Xiu’s voice was still as chilly as before, but she could detect a hint of satisfaction in his tone .
A Spirit Weapon…
Shen Yanxiao gulped at the information .
That bow felt like an extremely powerful weapon!
“Hmm… It is as I expected . I knew you were not fated to be the one!” The middle-aged man’s failure did not surprise Great Master Duan . He took a puff of smoke and pointed his cigarette at Shen Yanxiao . “Hey, kid, you can give it a try now . If you can’t pull the bowstring, I’m not selling it to you . ”
Shen Yanxiao touched her nose lightly and made her way toward the shooting range .
She took the bow from the middle-aged man, and she copied his posture as she raised the bow .
The middle-aged man and Great Master Duan frowned when they saw her posture . The kid looked like a beginner who had never touched a bow before . Even though her posture resembled the middle-aged man’s, it was still quite awkward .
Could a person like the kid draw the bow?
The middle-aged man and Great Master Duan did not quite believe that Shen Yanxiao would succeed at the task .
While both of them lowered their expectations of Shen Yanxiao, she gathered her focus and then exerted a slight force on her right hand that held the bowstring .
