King of Sports 99 Asian Games: Team Competition Finals 3

But as the smog increased and further distorted his vision, it pushed his current limits. He had been training and adapting to shooting without clear vision over the last year and a bit but he was still far from his future peak.

The effects of the thick smog on him was apparent after his first shot.

The first arrow, he shot a 9 pointer.

The second arrow, was yet another 9 pointer.

After shooting, he kept shaking his head. Obviously, such a result was difficult for him to accept.

After Im Dong-hyun, was Tang Yan.

The appearance of Tang Yan attracted another peak of emotions.

In the previous rounds, Tang Yan and Im Dong-hyun could be said to be equally matched but with Im Dong-hyun slipping from his perfect score the South Korean team became very anxious.

It gave Tang Yan a chance to open up the gap.

Although such bad weather had an impact on the archers, the expectations of the audience weren't reduced.

Tang Yan could clearly feel the emotions of the audience. He also felt excitement in his heart.

The two sides were anxious, it was very likely that there would be a fundamental change in this round.

Walking up with the recurve bow in hand, he stared at the distant target.

The smog was indeed a lot thicker and it was no wonder that Im Dong-hyun's shot fell short.

However, for him, the extent of this impact on him was limited.

Leading his army Li Guang had laid many an ambush in thick fog, for his enemies.

Tang Yan pulled out an arrow from the arrow pot.

Winding up, pre-tensioning, drawing the bowstring back and aiming.

Twang!

Like a meteor it soared straight toward the target.

The arrow flew a perfect parabola in the air and fell right into the center of the target.

Boom!

10 points!

The scene instantly boiled up.

Tang Yan drew out the second arrow.

Twang!

Boom!

The arrow once again hit the bull's eye.

10 points!

After the audience saw the number of points displayed on the electronic display, they went completely mad.

Im Dong-hyun, the ace of the South Korean team let out a small sigh, whilst shaking his head. Even with such bad weather conditions Tang Yan still seemed unaffected.

He was truly incredible!

And with that the Chinese team led the Korean team by a total number of 3 points!

This was a historic achievement and they were so close to tasting victory!

However, the game hadn't yet reached its conclusion.

It was no accident that the South Korean team could dominate the world of archery for such a long time. 

In the next two rounds, they showed their strength as archery's hegemony. They didn't allow China to open the gap further. Instead, they chased their lead down from 3 points to the 1 point.

The situation became full of suspense in an instant.

With that it was the final round, which would determine the final direction of the game.

"Don't think about anything else, just focus on yourself." Tian Zhenzhe said in a steady tone trying to calm their nerves in spite of his own inner nervousness.

Both Qiu Tian and Ning Ze nodded. 

The first set of duels was Qiu Tian vs Kwang-seok.

Kwang-seok did well, smoothly shooting a 9-pointer and then adjusting based on his last shot to barely edge in a 10-pointer.

When he saw his score, he punched the air in glee, he hadn't disappointed. At 19-years-old this was only his second major international competition, with the ball out of his court and the pressure off,  he walked back to camp, excitedly wiping his tears of joy.

The audience at this time was holding their breath, and no one dared to make any sound.

Tang Yan patted Qiu Tian's shoulder and motioned for him to relax. The latter took a deep breath and then walked straight to the gallery.

This was what he had hoped for, a chance to challenge and prove himself on the international stage, with Tang Yan they had finally created a team that could contend internationally.

Now he just had to do his part.

Under pressure, he stabilized his mind and shot both arrows.

Twang!

Boom!

...

Twang!

Boom!

As the last arrow landed for 19-points! There was a burst of cheers on the scene.

With that his taut body finally relaxed, his whole person was already soaked in sweat.

Such a tie, let the Chinese team further stabilize the situation.

...

Up next was Park Ji-hyun and Ning Ze, a confrontation between the two veterans.

Not falling behind his junior, Park Ji-hyun withstood the pressure and matched him with 19 points.

To which Ning Ze, did the same. Shooting 19 points.

After the two finished, the final set was to begin and the Chinese team still led by 1 point.

The audience were eager to watch. They all stood up from their seats, their faces excited.

Now, they just needed Tang Yan to drive them home, for gold.

Im Dong-hyun was deadly serious at this time, behind by 2 points. Although there was theoretical hope of winning the game, it was necessary to remember Tang Yan.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

However, he still had to do his bit. Under pressure, he shot two absolutely stunning 10 pointers, which kept hope alive for the Korean team.

When the last arrow hit 10 points, many Korean audiences on the sidelines burst into tears.

But when Tang Yan came on the scene, their hearts hung again.

The commentators on scene watched nervously, many had their mouths already close to the microphone.

Tang Yan looked calm and the first arrow was shot steadily.

Twang!

Boom!

"10 points! Tang Yan's first arrow is a 10 pointer!"

The on-site commentator couldn't help but shout.

The South Korean team members on the side of the field were all taut and stood on the sidelines to watch Tang Yan.

It seemed that for a time, his figure became tall, like a mountain they could never cross.

Tang Yan pulled out the second arrow from the arrow pot.

His heart was violently beating.

Even if he had enough confidence not to make a mistake, when you had an arrow that could change the history of Chinese archery, it was impossible to keep calm.

He took a deep breath and after a series of technical moves, he finally aimed at the looming target in the distance.

"Come on!"

He screamed in his heart and let go of his hand.

Twang!

The arrow broke through the air and flew toward the target.

Boom!

The arrow trembled as it hit the target.
