"Ah, how could this happen…"
"Why isn't it working anymore?"
Cornelia and Ailiya lay on the bed, utterly exhausted, murmuring to themselves as if they had been struck by a tremendous shock.
They had both tried their best, so why wasn’t it working anymore?
"Everyone, look! Su Cheng has chosen to close his eyes for his ninth arrow as well."
Suddenly, the commentator's words made the two girls spring up from the bed, their eyes filled with anticipation and hope. They stared intently at the screen, each offering their own heartfelt blessings.
Cornelia: "Hit the target!"
Ailiya: "Su Cheng is so lame, he’s definitely going to be eliminated!"
………………………………
The six people in the audience seats were no different. This time, they even stood up involuntarily, fists clenched tightly, their eyes shining with a glimmer of hope.
**Villa Area**
Ji Qingyi closed her eyes, unable to bear watching any longer.
Su Cheng's mental state on the screen was extremely precarious.
It seemed like he was relying purely on luck.
Behind her, Ji Yuewu remained expressionless because she knew Su Cheng would definitely hit the target.
Why?
Because Su Cheng had always been like this—turning the impossible into the possible. If he wanted to do something, he would succeed without fail!
He’s the protagonist, after all. Those who understand, understand.
However, in the next second, her pupils suddenly contracted, revealing deep shock and disbelief. Even her body began to tremble!
"Unfortunately, Su Cheng's ninth arrow was off-target."
The commentator sighed, though his tone remained excited. "But it’s still impressive. After all, he’s only been training for less than a month. To achieve this level of skill is unprecedented and unlikely to be matched!"
Upon hearing this, Cornelia and Ailiya immediately collapsed back onto the bed, their eyes unfocused, as if they had lost their last lifeline.
Even though they knew nothing about archery, they could tell that Su Cheng was about to be eliminated.
"How is this possible? Su Cheng actually lost."
Xuan Ying plopped down onto her seat, rubbing her head in disbelief, unable to accept what she had just witnessed. Tears began to fall uncontrollably.
Su Cheng had lost the match.
In her eyes, Su Cheng was invincible.
Just like last time at the convenience store, when he had descended like a god to save her.
But now…
"Su Cheng is already very strong. Don’t forget, he just joined the club recently."
Zhao Yan, sitting beside her, forced a smile and softly comforted Xuan Ying. "He’s already achieved so much in such a short time. We just had too high of expectations for him."
"That’s right. He’s only been at it for a month and made it to the top eight. Next year’s championship will surely be his! Am I right? Clap if you agree!"
Wang Guancong shouted loudly, and Gao Ye and Chai Hao beside him clapped in agreement, signaling their understanding.
"Even geniuses need time to grow."
"This setback will definitely make him a god in the archery world in the future!"
After clapping, the two of them chimed in.
"Yes, he has immense potential. If he adjusts his mindset and competes again next year, he’ll definitely be a top contender for the championship!"
At that moment, another spectator nearby nodded in agreement.
Hearing this, Xuan Ying wiped her tears and smiled through her sobs, turning to Zhao Yan, Wang Guancong, and the others. "You’re right," she said.
However, in the corner, Li Guanqi’s gaze remained fixed on Su Cheng on the screen, her heart filled with deep concern.
Su Cheng suddenly seemed to have given up, his head hanging low as if resigned to his fate, his face obscured. But she could vaguely sense that something was off about his emotions, which made her feel uneasy.
**Villa Area**
Ji Qingyi picked up the remote and turned off the TV, falling into silence. She stood up and gently patted Ji Yuewu’s shoulder with her fair hand. "You should know what Su Cheng wants."
Ji Yuewu finally snapped out of her thoughts and looked at the black screen of the TV, her eyes filled with deep complexity. Eventually, she nodded.
"Although he didn’t win the championship, his effort and dedication have impressed me. I’ll grant him one condition."
Ji Qingyi looked at Ji Yuewu’s profile and slowly said, "You weren’t wrong about him this time, but you overestimated him, which led to this outcome."
Hearing this, Ji Yuewu lowered her eyes. "Miracles don’t disappear, and he won’t die either."
"You’re really stubborn," Ji Qingyi shook her head, then added, "I’m afraid he won’t make it back in time, so..."
Ji Yuewu looked up. "Let him say it himself."

**Target Range No. 3**
Su Cheng slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with determination and resolve!
Su Cheng understood perseverance and hard work.
So—
"Activate *Deus Ex Machina*!"
Su Cheng gritted his teeth and made the decision without hesitation!
Immediately, the long-awaited system notification rang out in his mind.
**[Deus Ex Machina]**
**[One-time Skill]**
**[Effect: System Intervention]**
**[System: When the plot reaches a deadlock and the predicament becomes unsolvable, the system will arrange for a powerful deity, item, or ability to resolve the issue, creating an unexpected plot twist.]**
**[Ding—]**
**[Solution Ability Activated]**

**[Duration: Until the championship is won]**
**[Skill Description: You can freely jump to any point in time that has already occurred today (while retaining memories from before the reversal). The system will repair any disrupted timelines, aligning the world’s events with your actions.]**
"Reverse!"
Without a second thought, Su Cheng focused on the previous moment.
In the next second—
Something strange happened.
The entire world turned into a black-and-white scene.
Then, a blue butterfly fluttered into view, dancing gracefully in front of him.
As the butterfly collided with his forehead, he suddenly felt the world spinning around him.
Then, he felt as if his body was being forcibly pulled into some kind of space.
"Wh-where is this?"
Su Cheng opened his eyes in confusion, only to realize that his hands were holding a bow. His gaze instinctively shifted to the scoreboard beside him.
Eight arrows, eight hits.
"Huh, it seems like I’ve gone back to the moment before I shot my ninth arrow."
Just as he realized this, his opponent and the referee turned to him with puzzled expressions.
It was as if they were saying, "Weren’t you going to shoot with your eyes closed? Why did you open them and start looking around?"
"Reverse!"
Reacting quickly, Su Cheng reversed time again by a few seconds.
After another dizzying spin—
This time, he didn’t open his eyes. Instead, he immediately shot the arrow.
Unfortunately, there was no sound of it hitting the target.
But it didn’t matter.
No problem, just reverse again.
Missed the target?
Go back!
Missed again?
Go back!
It’s all about luck!
With infinite stamina, shooting a hundred arrows would eventually result in at least one hit.
+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later."
