Chapter 275 Peak Moment
Unlike every time he played before, the whole audience cheered.
This time, the whole place was quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on Kurosawa Hikari.
160 meters, even if you are sitting in the audience, you can clearly feel how far away it is.
Although this was a performance, Kurosawa Hikaru still followed the complicated archery etiquette, came to the shooting point, knelt down and unbuttoned half of his sleeves.
The fundamental purpose of taking off the half-sleeves is not to be eye-catching, but to prevent the clothes and collar from being caught by arrows and bowstrings.
"come on."
At the same time, Uesugi Masaki came over and handed over two arrows.
Kurosawa nodded slightly and took the two arrows in his right hand.
In fact, although Neon Kyudo is a very ancient martial art, with the development of the times, archery rituals have become very cumbersome, and even shooting an arrow is extremely demanding.
But in fact, the practicality of the bow is actually very high. As long as it is equipped with heavy arrows, its lethality is amazing, many times more powerful than ordinary crossbow arrows.
The Kyudo Alliance has conducted experiments. According to the average level of modern Kyudo, the arrow speed can reach 216Km/h and 60 meters per second. The power and lethality are amazing.
After completing a set of etiquette, Kurosawa Hikaru stood at the shooting point and looked at the archery target 160 meters away.
This distance is exaggerated. Even a long-range archery target with a diameter of 1 meter becomes very small at this distance.
Under normal circumstances, when you look at an archery target 160 meters away, you can't even see the bullseye clearly, and you can only see a rough outline.
If you are short-sighted, even if you wear glasses, you cannot see clearly. You can only see a blur and know that there is something there.
Even with the enhancement of perfect level archery skills, Kurosawa's eyesight has become terrible, but he must concentrate when facing such a distance.
"Ouch!"
At this moment, the players who were watching the match from a distance in the arena all started to shout in an uproar.
Because they saw a very terrifying scene, Kurosawa's eyes, as he stared at the target, the pupils expanded and contracted, as if he was adjusting the distance of sight and focus.
Under normal circumstances, a person's pupils will become larger or smaller. When the eyes change to see distant and near objects, the size of the pupil will change accordingly. This is the eye muscle controlling the lens to make the eye image clear, which is a normal phenomenon.
In fact, many strong professional archers will also have this situation.
But Kurosawa Hikaru's eyes are particularly terrifying. Those black eyes will expand every time they shrink, as if they are breathing.
As the pupils continued to dilate, those dark eyes were like an abyss, trying to take in all objects.
From this scene alone, it can be seen that his physical talent is extraordinary.
What's even more frightening is that as he becomes serious, he gives people an indescribable sense of oppression when he raises his hands and feet.
"Just let me see how powerful you are."
Kurosawa Hikaru completely locked onto the target and looked down at the Japanese bow in his hand.
Its shape and appearance were still the Japanese bow Kurofeng given by Sato Shinichi, but he knew very well that the weight of the bow in his hand was in the form of Yang Yuki's bow, Kurofeng.
The day before yesterday, he tried his best and reluctantly completed the feat of crossing the Yangtze with a hundred steps.
How far he can achieve today depends on how powerful this magic weapon in his hand can make him.
Immediately afterwards, he clasped the arrows in his right hand one after another, then raised the bow and touched the bowstring with the arrows. He raised the bow and the full moon opened the string.
This set of movements is smooth and orderly, calm and powerful. It is full of ritual and powerful, and it is pleasing to the eye.
"What's this?"
Seeing this scene, all the professional players in the audience felt their scalps tingle, and an indescribable numbness erupted from deep within their bodies.
Although during the long-range shooting competition, they could see that Kurosawa's shooting pattern was natural and impeccable. It could even be recorded and used as a textbook-level demonstration of eight sections of shooting.
But at this moment, they had an extremely strong feeling that player Kurosawa had understood the true nature of kyudo.
This archer has reached the pinnacle and is superb. Watching him shoot arrows is a visual enjoyment and wonderful.
"Kakaka!"
Maintaining a state of complete concentration, Kurosawa opened the bow string fully, and his body tensed up. His left arm, which had taken off his half-sleeve and was exposed, had muscles bulging out, entering a very strange state.
An auxiliary line of ballistic trajectory appeared in front of his eyes, from one end of him to the arrow target on the other end.
This straight line is so perfect, unbiased and straight to the end, which makes people yearn for it.
Kurosawa Hikaru released his right hand and shot the arrow naturally.
"Boom!"
Because the weight of the bow was too high, there was even a dull explosion when the arrow was released.
"Woo!"
But this was just the beginning. The arrow from the string burst out, causing an unstoppable sound of breaking through the air, like a meteor suddenly appearing in the long night, streaking across the sky.
Everyone followed the flight of the arrow, but no one could see clearly what the arrow looked like.
"Tuk!"
Just like the fleeting appearance of a meteor, when people's eyes finally follow it, the arrow has already hit the target.
What is shocking is that most of the arrow's body is completely submerged in the bull's eye, and only the tail feathers of the arrow's tail are still outside.
At this moment, the martial arts hall was dead silent, and no one in the audience spoke.
The target seemed to contain suction, and everyone's eyes were attracted.
Shocked by the accuracy of this arrow.
Amazed by the power of this arrow.
Conquered by the perfection of this arrow.
Overwhelmed by the speed of this arrow.
No words can describe the shock brought by this arrow. This is definitely the most perfect arrow in the history of archery.
The audience sitting far away, far away from the target, even couldn't help but stand up and walk over to see more clearly.
Because the distance of 160 meters is really too far, even the audience parallel to Kurosawa Hikaru can only vaguely see a vague outline, and can't see clearly at all.
The black arrow feathers merged with the pure black bull's eye, how can it be seen clearly.
"Bang!"
But just when there was silence, another dull sound burst out.
This sound was very special, pleasant to hear, but also very scary, like the shooting of a heavy crossbow cart, which would burst out a loud echo.
"Woo!"
Then, the heavy and unstoppable sound of breaking through the air sounded again, breaking through the air.
This time, the audience who focused their eyes on the target saw it very clearly. An arrow suddenly appeared and hit the center of the bull's eye in an instant with an impeccable trajectory.
Seeing this, people realized that he shot again... and hit it again.
If the first arrow can be understood as the result of chance.
Then the second arrow means that it is not a coincidence.
If the third arrow, even under the premise of no mistakes, it is inevitable.
Whether it is the audience who have seen the hundred-step shooting long ago or the audience who saw it for the first time, at this moment, there is silence.
Some people can't help but look back, only to see a figure standing there at the shooting point in the distance, holding a black bow.
The figure is very far away, looks very small, and is not majestic, but has an unparalleled presence that is the best in the whole audience.
That man is the only master in this arena.
As long as he has a longbow in his hand, the entire arena is within his range.
"Kurosawa!"
At this moment, someone looked at the figure, worshipped him fanatically, and shouted his name.
"Kurosawa! Kurosawa! Kurosawa!"
Following him, a stone stirred up a thousand waves, and people kept coming back to their senses and joined the team of admirers.
The passion was unbearable, the blood was boiling, and there was no place to express it. The passion that could only be vented by roaring set off a huge wave, trying to break through everything.
After the audience fully appreciated Kurosawa Mitsuru's amazing archery skills, they were all impressed by his strength and power.
The most sensational and terrifying sound wave of the day appeared, and the whole martial arts hall seemed to be shaken by it.
"Kurosawa! Kurosawa! Kurosawa!"
Kurosawa Mitsuru, who stood in the field and shot all the arrows in his hand, saw everyone stand up at this moment and cheer for him.
Bathed in the admiring gazes of the people and their undisguised enthusiasm, he slowly put down his bow.
His hands and feet were numb, and goosebumps appeared.
His eardrums were vibrating for the incomparable sound waves.
The whole audience was boiling at this moment, even more enthusiastic than the performance at the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan.
"Is this the peak moment?"
It was no longer a simple reminder of the mission completion.
On this day, this minute, this second, Kurosawa Mitsuru felt it for real.
Showing the power of perfect archery skills, let the world hear his voice, his name, and his deeds.
The feeling of being admired, sought after, and respected is an incomparable enjoyment for everyone.
This feeling is wonderful, unprecedented, and cannot be described in words. It makes people immersed in it and unable to extricate themselves.
The audience was ecstatic and worshipful, cheering and excited for this wonderful performance.
However, the feelings of the contestants and even those related to kyudo were far more than shocking.
"It's really a monster..."
Since the morning, Ohara Makoto, who had been sitting in the reserve seat and not participating in the individual competition, was just waiting for the team competition. He looked at Kurosawa Hikaru with fear and awe.
When a person has talents and strengths visible to the naked eye, people will worship and admire him.
For example, singers who sing well, dancers who dance well, and actors with outstanding acting skills, people will be fascinated and admire their performances.
But when a person has strength and talents that go beyond common sense and cognition, people will only feel fear and fear for his existence.
A hundred steps through the willow, 160 meters long shot, there are actually people in this world who can do it... and three times.
Even more, he vaguely has a feeling that Kurosawa Hikaru's power is more than that... 160 meters is not his limit, he can do better.
