By the time the young ladies had distributed all the handkerchiefs, the archery competition followed.
An old man walked up to the ten young men who were about to participate in the archery contest, glanced at everyone, and announced, "Next, each of you will have ten arrows, whoever hits the target the most times and scores the highest number of rings will get to own the Warrior Badge."
The old man raised his hand and pointed towards the distance where a copper-gold plaque was hanging. Carved into the plaque with Li City script were the words 'Warrior'.
This single plaque in all of Li City represented not just honor but also pride. For the recipient would become the warrior of the entire city, receiving respect and worship.
The ten young men about to enter the competition all stared at the Warrior Badge with fiery eyes, their gazes filled with longing and a strong fighting spirit.
