Chapter 29 - 13 Champion
The three hundred players who advanced to the knockout round were divided into five groups, with 60 people in each group. They headed to their respective competition venues under the guidance of the referees.
Ji Xinghuo drew into Group Three.
As it happened, Lu Yunhai was the referee for this group and greeted Ji Xinghuo with a big smile as he passed by.
"Coach Lu, do you know each other?"
Fang Yinpeng, who was also in this group, saw them conversing and asked out of curiosity.
"Sister Fang, we were university classmates," Lu Yunhai responded quickly, his attitude towards Fang Yinpeng respectful. He explained, "Xinghuo has just been learning archery for three weeks. I was the one who helped him sign up for the course."
"Is that really true?" Fang Yinpeng was surprised.
She couldn't help but reassess Ji Xinghuo.
A novice achieving such a level in archery indicated an extremely high talent, far surpassing most Rangers. If she hadn't merged with Thousand Spirit Skillful Hand and Precision, and practiced archery for many years, she wouldn't dare say she could beat Ji Xinghuo with certainty.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Ji," Fang Yinpeng said with a smile. "I hope Mr. Ji won't take this morning's little misunderstanding to heart."
Ji Xinghuo hadn't thought it was a big deal in the first place. "You're overthinking it, Sister Fang. It's a trivial matter."
