Chapter 115 - 112: Hear One and Understand Ten
"This bow is a twelve-stone bow, around seven hundred and twenty catties of draw weight. It’s just right for me and I can utilize all of its power, but I can’t engage in prolonged combat. If it’s Supplicant Zhou using it, this bow might be a bit too light. Just make do with it for a try,"
Wang Xingwu’s complexion changed slightly.
"Minister Wang can use the twelve-stone bow to shoot wind-chasing swift arrows in rapid succession, much like the great generals in the army, so there is no need to be unduly modest,"
Lin Huaiyu explained from the side.
"In the annual military examinations, during the bouts at the drill ground, anyone who aspires to compete for rankings uses a twelve-stone bow for foot archery and a six-stone bow for mounted archery, both considered among the best.
However, in the military graduate exams, there are specially made eighteen-stone bows. Just to draw one requires a strength of over a thousand catties. To use it freely and shoot arrows in succession, one would need a strength of two thousand catties to control it,"
"As for stronger bows and arrows, we can’t easily find them. I’ve heard that in the Left Military Guard General’s Residence, there is a Black Cloud Bow strung with Black Jiao tendons and forged with meteorite, capable of a draw weight of eighty-one stones.
If a fierce soldier of the army were to wield it, combined with the Blood Fiend Qi, its attacks would be extraordinary. Even those who have cultivated Martial Intent to the stage of complete mastery strength would have to go around it,"
Upon saying this, Lin Huaiyu sighed slightly as he glanced at Zhou Ping’an.
In his heart, however, he was contemplating.
After the opponent erupted with the "Purifying World Lotus Body," his strength surged ninefold. If he had a treasured bow in hand and mastered archery, he could become a devastating weapon on the battlefield with a shake of his body.
