Chapter 786: It's Just Luck_1

Anyway, even with open eyes, she was only getting a score of one or two rings, or even missing the target entirely.

Why not let her follow her own instincts?

At this time, they should give her confidence, not question her.

Because doubts are pointless at this juncture.

All of a sudden, with everyone’s gaze on her, Baili Xia released her long finger, and with a swish, the arrow shot out like lightning.

The arrow traced a beautiful arc in the air, and then, it firmly embedded itself into the target!

Ten points!

Everyone couldn’t believe it, she had actually hit the target!

Not only did she hit the target, she had astonishingly scored a perfect ten!

The crowd was completely dumbfounded.

That poor nerd scored a perfect ten.

In this round, even Sima Liuyue only got nine points, while Baili Xia surprisingly made a perfect score!

It was too incredible!

Even Mu Ziqing and Mu Ziying, who were sitting behind her, stood up excitedly, completely stunned.

They stayed in shock for a few seconds, before snapping back to reality.

They quickly ran to Baili Xia’s side and hugged her tightly.

“Awesome, Xiaxia, you are so awesome.”

The three girls were euphoric over this hard-earned score.

After all, this round’s performance was far from ideal, but Baili Xia had skyrocketed their rank.

This was indeed an unexpected surprise!

Although their cumulative score from the three rounds only put them in a mediocre position, it certainly wasn’t as bad anymore.

“Hmph, isn’t it just good luck? Look how excited you all are. How embarrassing.”

From the side, a cold mockery sounded—it was Ouyang Peishan.

“You’ve just hit the target by chance, and yet you’re jumping up and down with joy. How humiliating!”

She glanced at Sima Liuyue nearby, then turned back to the three girls from the Mu family and snorted disdainfully.

“Sister Liuyue has earned a perfect ten countless times.

When have you ever seen her this excited?

Only those who are incompetent would get tearfully excited over a single stroke of luck, it’s downright disgusting!”

“I’ll rip your stinking mouth apart.” Mu Ziying, the most short-tempered among the three, could not endure Ouyang Peishan’s mockery.

If it weren’t for the current situation, she would have taught Ouyang Peishan a lesson already.

“Calm down, Ziying.” Mu Ziqing restrained Mu Ziying, glancing at Baili Xia, then back at Ouyang Peishan.

“It’s not over yet, who will fail is yet to be seen.”

Mu Ziqing ignored Ouyang Peisan’s mockery, pulling Mu Ziying and Baili Xia back to their seats.

The scores of the first three rounds had been released, and the Mu family ranked fourth.

In the Eight Big Families, coming fourth wasn’t exactly bad, but it was far from good.

Back in their seats, after Mu Ziqing calmed Mu Ziying down, she addressed them both.

“Xiaxia has made a great improvement, but we are not sure if it’s due to luck or if she genuinely has the ability. In the rounds to come, we must display consistent performance to slowly catch up. The most important thing now is to stay calm and act at our best.”

Both of them nodded in agreement.

The fourth round began soon afterwards.

In this round, both Mu Ziqing and Mu Ziying performed at their normal levels and scored eight and seven points, respectively.

When it was Baili Xia’s turn, she took a deep breath and stepped up to the starting line.

All along, she had been trying to figure out how to aim more accurately.

From her previous three rounds of archery, she had grasped the control of speed and strength, but she still was not sure deep down.

She tried to remember how she had managed to hit the bull’s eye when she practised on the hill behind her house.

At that time, Bei Tianyou told her to ‘shoot with her heart’.

That’s right, shoot with her heart.
