Chapter 153: Yale’s Expert Archery

Yale wasn’t frustrated by his continuous failing in hitting his opponent; he was pleased to find such a difficult target, it was far better than the ones he had used to train his archery.

“Why are you still chasing me? You can find other targets easily.”

The guy was scared as Yale didn’t give up in chasing him; he knew very well that he couldn’t win, but if Yale stopped chasing him, at least he was confident in reach the Top 10.

That was also the reason he was fleeing with all his strength; he hoped that the others would get defeated and he would be able to enter into the Top 10 before giving up.

Yale’s precision was increasing as the time passed, he felt that he would be able to hit his opponent at any moment and that he would be able to reach the expert stage at that moment.

Yale had already turned into a deep trauma to his opponent; he would be unable to forget that persecution for years. For someone who had never experienced a real battle, being pursued by a kid who could kill him as long one on of the arrows shot by him would hit him was something difficult to endure.

Yale wasn’t planning to kill him, but as he had difficulties to hit his opponent, it wasn’t impossible killing him by mistake.

In that situation, Yale wouldn’t be blamed; his opponent decided to struggle against Yale after he had forgiven his life once, his first attack to the leg could have killed his opponent in one shot if Yale aimed to the head or the heart.

The guy knew that Yale wouldn’t be blamed for killing him. He just wanted to win some more time and enter in the Top 10; he would break the token at the same moment he saw the signal.

Sadly, he wouldn’t have that chance as an arrow pierced his chest soon afterward. Yale had been aiming at the wings, but although he managed to change the direction of the arrow two times to hit his opponent, his precision wasn’t good enough to hit the wing and ended in the chest.

Fortunately, although Yale had just hit his opponent’s chest, he hit in the right part of the body, so the arrow didn’t pierce through the heart.

“Break your token and ask for some healing pills outside. I don’t have any intention to kill you.”

If that guy refused to break the token after that, Yale could kill him without worries; even doing nothing would end with the same result as a wound in the chest was still serious without affecting the heart.

Yale’s opponent wasn’t that stupid, even if Yale didn’t shoot another arrow to him, he knew that he couldn’t waste time or he would die, so he finally broke the token and got teleported soon afterward.

Just at that moment, the signal appeared in the sky, and a system notification appeared on Yale’s head. After Yale’s opponent left the area only ten participants were left in the training camp; the poor guy ended in the eleventh position, he was near to his objective, but unable to reach it.

After the guy appeared outside the training camp, an Elder Rank expert from his family, who was that guy’s grandfather, appeared and took out some pills to heal him.

That expert didn’t hate Yale; he knew very well that Yale could have killed his grandson, but he had shown mercy. Furthermore, his grandson was the one who was greedy and didn’t break his token after knowing that he couldn’t win.

Sebe noticed about Yale’s objective after Yale managed to hit his opponent, he didn’t fail to notice the fact Yale had reached the expert stage in archery at that moment. Sebe had no doubts about the fact Yale had been using his opponent as a training item to improve his archery.

“Your little brother is really a training madman; he is still training even in this situation.”

Sebe said those words as a praise, the objective of the training camp was to train the young generation by letting them battle against others of the same generation, but in the end, it turned more a show of strength than a real place for training.

“Well, he just came here to train as he needed some opponents to let him improve. Against me, there is too much difference to have a real battle, and Yale and Wyba refuse to battle among themselves.”

Sebe laughed as that reason fitted Yale very well, Sebe hadn’t felt that Yale was the type who just wanted to show his strength to turn famous in the area.

“So, isn’t he looking to win?”

Aiwai was scared when Sebe asked that, because she knew that Sebe had betted a lot of money for Yale, even herself had betted a lot of resources for him.

“He seemed determined to win when I told him about the training camp. Although he came here to train, he isn’t the type of kid who likes to be defeated because it is just training.”

Sebe laughed again; he was curious to see how Yale planned to act to reach the first position in the training camp; although Sebe thought high about Yale, he wasn’t sure if he would be able to win.

Betting for a friend was obvious, but he didn’t have confidence in the fact Yale would win, he hoped that Yale became able to win, but hoping and having confidence were different matters.

Aiwai was in the same situation, she betted for Yale because she wanted to support her little brother and wanted him to win if he can, but she wasn’t sure about Yale’s capability to win.

***

Yale looked at the Mapping function, besides himself, only nine other participants were left, and seven of them were still together. Furthermore, the other two were also in the same place.

Although Yale didn’t know if those two were allied or battling among themselves, they were a better target than the group of seven.

Yale didn’t need too much time to find his targets, but he wasn’t able to see the second one correctly as it teleported just after Yale reached them.

Both of them were battling and not under some kind of alliance, they just were at similar levels, so they needed some time to determine the result.

The winner was a half-beast with a low purity bloodline and was at the 3-star Novice Rank. He looked like a humanoid lizard, showing the bad quality of his bloodline. Although the fact he was able to reach the 3-star Novice was a proof that the power of his bloodline was high or he had trained hard to reach that level.

“Break your token and get out. With your current injuries battling against me can threaten your life.”

Yale appeared without attacking, the lizard guy was already too injured from the previous battle, and his realm was far inferior.

“A 6-star Novice, I am out of luck.”

The lizard guy was depressed, he knew very well that although he had confidence battling people stronger than himself, beating Yale in his injured state was a dream. After all, he hadn’t reached the Top 10 by luck; he had battled without stopping to enter in the Top 10.

“No, you are lucky. My realm is lower than the other seven who remains in the training camp, and I don’t want to injure you more. I am not looking down on you, but you are already in the Top 10, and with such injuries, you won’t be able to battle against anyone else. Moreover, your life will be in danger if you just wait for the others to finish.”

In the end, Yale wasn’t someone who liked harming others or killing them; he just did it when it was necessary.

“I have no background; I need to show my value or no one will be interested in helping me in the future.”

The lizard guy wasn’t even in the favorites list made by the Elder Rank experts; he was a black horse who reached the Top 10 out of everyone’s expectations.

“If you die now, there won’t be any reason for others sheltering you; you should know when is time to give up. Don’t let your pride control your life, losing after I beat you or just giving up now is the same result for you as you will still lose, but your life could be in danger if you continue to battle in your state.”

Yale didn’t want to kill that lizard guy as he didn’t seem to be a bad guy, but if the lizard guy were stubborn and wanted to battle against him, his death would be almost sure due to his current injuries.

Moreover, Yale planned to win some time until the other battle ended, so he didn’t mind losing time speaking with the lizard guy and making him give up without a battle.

Although the lizard guy was stubborn, he understood Yale’s words and knew that Yale was in the right. Especially since he hadn’t any background, any wound would be far more dangerous than for others with good backgrounds.

“Alright. I was hot-headed before, thank you for your advice.”

After saying that the lizard guy just broke his token and left the training camp.
