Chapter 783: The Fist is the Only Guarantee_1

The longer Baili Xia stayed within these so-called prestigious families, the more clear she became.

In such places, the strength of one’s fist was the only guarantee.

The stronger one’s fist, the steadier they could stand.

Especially when facing people like Sima Liuli and Ouyang Peishan.

If she does not yield, she’d keep punching until she submits!

Any tolerance would only make them more arrogant.

When Baili Xia looked at her, she dared to respond with a disdainful expression — this drove Ouyang Peishan crazy with anger!

A poor beggar dared to show her such disrespect!

Has she not been beaten enough?

But they were in public and a lot of people were watching.

The beating could wait.

In any case, she would ensure that Baili Xia pays later!

The tense atmosphere of the archery competition soon overpowered the initial hostility.

Everyone got into place and the competition officially began.

First, the rules of the competition.

The targets used are of international standards, with scores from the outer ring to the inner ring ranging from one to ten points.

Members of each family will take turns shooting arrows.

Each person gets ten tries, meaning there are ten rounds of competition.

After each round, the total score of each family will be calculated and added up for the final score after ten rounds.

As originally planned, Mu Ziying and Mu Ziqing would shoot first to relieve some pressure off Baili Xia.

In the eyes of Mu Ziying and Mu Ziqing, as long as she could hit the target, even if it was just for one point, she’d have done her job.

After all, the target was sixty meters away from the starting line — a tough shot for anyone.

The referee announced the start of the game and the first archer from each family took to the starting line, while the others sat back.

The first person out for the Mu family was Mu Ziying, the strongest amongst the three.

Mu Ziying stood at the starting line, and once the referee gave the order, the arrow left the bowstring.

Her arrow was firmly lodged in the target — nine points.

Compared to others, no one seemed to be a match for Mu Ziying.

Some arrows didn’t even reach halfway before plunging into the ground.

This round made it clear who was superior.

Some of the younger ones who had received less family training had significant skill differences.

Mu Ziying snickered and shot a scornful glance at the Ouyang family members.

The Ouyang family member also hit the target, but only scored five points, same as the Sima family member.

Those who dared to bully the Mu family would now be humiliated.

Mu Ziying thought and returned to her seat with a proud sniff.

Baili Xia didn’t expect Mu Ziying to be so skillful.

She didn’t seem so powerful usually.

However, behind Mu Ziying’s triumphant smiles, Baili Xia saw a hint of relief and understood the situation.

It wasn’t that Ziying was really that good.

Instead, this time she was just lucky and performed above par.

Next up was Mu Ziqing and she didn’t disappoint.

Her first arrow hit eight points, quite a decent score.

Although not the best in this group, it was at least in the top three.

Sima Liuli was also in this group and scored six points.

Now it was Baili Xia’s turn.

The Ouyang family sent out Ouyang Peishan while the Sima Family surprisingly sent Sima Liuyue.

Seeing Baili Xia step forward, Ouyang Peishan scoffed, “Looking at you, are you even able to lift the bow and arrow?”

Baili Xia was already nervous, but hearing Ouyang Peishan’s words, she had to suppress her nerves.

She had to keep reminding herself — she must endure, stay calm.

Her archery skills weren’t particularly good to begin with, but if she lost her sanity, scoring would become even more difficult.
