Chapter 73: Chapter 73 Section 50_1

"Alright, Li Muyun!" Li Yang walked over to you, crouched down, and gave your shoulder a hefty pat, "For ordinary folks, hitting a score of fifty at a hundred meters makes them a sharpshooter, yet here you are, drawing circles on the target. What, thinking of challenging us instructors?"

You let out a sly grin, partly because you just wanted to shoot a few more rounds. Seeing Li Yang took the bait, you raised an eyebrow at him, laughing, "How about we move the target to two hundred meters and try?"

Li Yang was sharp-witted, and he watched you with a smile, "What, you want to shoot a few more times?"

"Heh, even if you’ve seen through me, no need to say it out loud. It would make someone feel embarrassed." You imitated Yang Kai’s mischievous expression.

"Wanting to shoot more is no problem. The effective range of the 95 automatic rifle is 400 meters. Are you interested in trying its limit?"

"Want to? Of course, I do. Once this opportunity is gone, there won’t be another."

You were well aware that once training was over, you likely wouldn’t get the chance to handle a gun again. Being able to get your fill now would certainly be more than great.

Li Yang chuckled and nodded, tapping your shoulder again, "But let’s get one thing straight beforehand. If you don’t hit at least forty-seven rings this time, or if even one shot misses the target, then you lose. If you lose, you’ll conscientiously run fifty laps around the training field with added weight. How about that?"

It really was a case of speak of the devil!

Who am I afraid of?

"Let’s do it!"

You steeled your heart and gave Li Yang a solid high five.

"Good! Attention everyone, our student Li Muyun wants to challenge authority. He’s preparing to test the limit of the 95 automatic rifle!" Li Yang stood up, drawing the attention of those around with his booming voice, "The limit of the 95 automatic rifle is 400 meters, but Li Muyun is challenging 500 meters!"

"Hey, wasn’t it said to be 4..."

"Applause!"

Li Yang immediately interrupted you, and the warm applause from all around inadvertently dragged you into it.

There, caught in the trap!

In an instant, all eyes in the training camp were on you.

"Old Shu, better take it easy this time," Yang Kai came over with a voice that was deceptively comforting, but his face carried that same smug smile as if he couldn’t wait for all five of your shots to miss the mark.

You couldn’t be bothered with this brat asking for a beating, instead focusing all your concentration on the human silhouette target over five hundred meters away.

What did five hundred meters feel like?

It meant you couldn’t even see the black dot that was the human silhouette target while lying on the ground!

How was one supposed to shoot like this?

Meanwhile, on the balcony of the nearby instructors’ dormitory, a man in a Zhongshan suit and a young man peered intently in your direction.

"Captain, isn’t that kid being excessively arrogant? The 95 automatic rifle’s effective range is only 400 meters. How could he possibly hit the center of a target 500 meters away, let alone the center, just hitting the target itself would be quite impressive."

The man in the Zhongshan suit smiled and said, "Little Yan, remember, there are many people and things in this world that cannot be explained with common sense. Calm down and watch. I, too, want to see how he intends to accomplish this."

Whoosh—

You took a deep breath and after a few ventilations, you adjusted your body to its most stable state.

You turned your head slightly and closed your left eye, aligning your right eye with the sights. However, what you saw was still just a dot, a black dot.

The human silhouette target now felt like a sesame seed on a white A4 paper, and you were to fire five shots at the center of this sesame seed from over five hundred meters away.

This was outright courting death!

And Li Yang was still watching you with a grin, asking, "How’s the aiming? Shoot whenever you feel ready. Remember, you just fired five consecutive shots, making a neat circle in the center of the target. Come on, show some of that manly domineering presence, and let everyone see what you’re capable of!"

"Li Muyun, cheer up! If you hit the target, I’ll be your girlfriend!" A girl who looked somewhat like Sculpted Silk, shrieked from not too far away.

Then, a plump girl shouted, "Li Muyun, whether you hit it or not, I’ll be your girlfriend!"

The crowd erupted into laughter.

You ignored their teasing, simply closing your right eye as well.

Gradually, you opened both eyes. Unusually, this time your left eye did not produce that burning, scorching sensation, and the Magic Seal didn’t appear; the silhouette target was still just the size of a sesame seed.

"My, are you going to shoot or not? Just admit defeat if you really can’t."

There were girls already jeering from the side.

"Yeah, stop trying to look cool. Clearly, you’re just Sculpted Silk."

"Really thinks he’s the king of shooting, huh."

...

You continued to ignore them.

Your eyes remained fixed on that black sesame seed.

If only it could appear a bit larger—just then, you unconsciously had such a thought.

Suddenly, your left eye heated up, and the human silhouette target seemed to grow a bit larger.

Hmm?

There might be a way!

Enlarge it a bit more.

And the distance between you and the human silhouette target seemed to suddenly close in!

Unlike before, where it was passive, now you can zoom in on distant landscapes and objects like using a controllable telescope, bringing them closer or farther away.

Zoom in further!

After several attempts, you discovered that you could actually magnify the human-shaped target to the size of a real person. Despite being 500 meters away, it seemed as if it was placed just a few meters before your eyes!

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

Five consecutive shots, clean and crisp!

Before the people around you could react, your bullets had already left the barrel.

"Did, did you finish shooting?"

Li Yang looked at you in surprise.

"Why are you looking at me? Report the target," you said.

Another instructor hurried over, and then an astonished voice came through the walkie-talkie, "This is terrifying! Fifty points! This kid actually scored fifty points with a Type 95 rifle from 500 meters away, and just like before, he hit the center of the target making a circle! A shooting god!"

"That’s impossible, right?"

Li Yang seemed unconvinced and immediately ran over. This time he brought the human-shaped target directly over.

Everyone crowded around at once, followed by unstoppable exclamations.

Li Yang walked up to you quickly and asked, "How did you do it?"

You tilted your head up slightly, with an expression deserving a beating, "I’m not telling you, not telling you, just not telling you."

Not far away on the balcony of the military officers’ apartments, the man in the Zhongshan suit, with a man beside him, let out a gasp of astonishment, "This... this kid’s shooting technique is just too incredible, isn’t it? This has already surpassed human levels! Could this be the legendary power of the Ghost Eye?"

The man in the Zhongshan suit shook his head slightly, with a smile that was not quite a smile, "This isn’t the Ghost Eye. Although the Ghost Eye is powerful, it absolutely can’t do this."

"Then... could it be the Demon Eye?" At this thought, the man subconsciously reached for the silver gun at his waist.

"It’s not that either. At least in my understanding, someone with the Demon Eye can’t possibly remain this calm. And look at his expression, so relaxed and easy, definitely not the characteristics that a Demon Eye holder should have."

"Then what on earth are his eyes?"

"I don’t know, perhaps it’s something even more profound than the Demon Eye. It seems we must recruit him into our team no matter what."

A determined glint flashed in the Zhongshan suit man’s eyes.

"Old Shu, you’re freaking awesome!" Yang Kai patted your back hard, "Hey, do you know how many girls were cheering for you just now? If it were me, I would’ve been so excited I’d have shot my load!"

"If you want to shoot, go do it on your own." Liao Yong pulled Yang Kai away and said to you, "Li Yang is calling for you."

"What does he want?" you asked.

Liao Yong shook his head, "Not sure, he didn’t say."

You turned to look at Li Yang and found him standing not far from the shooting range, waving at you.

"Instructor Li, what do you need me for?" you walked over and asked.

Li Yang said with a smile, "Here, I’m giving you a chance to show off in front of the ladies. Use your experience and method to teach the girls how to shoot, okay?"

Normally, no guy would refuse such a delightful task, but you sternly declined.

"Instructor Li, I can’t handle this job. You should teach them personally. After all, my shooting skills were learned from you..."

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out!

In the midst of talking, a sudden gunshot startled you and everyone around.

"Didn’t I tell you not to disengage the safety? Who fired the shot!" the instructor from the girls’ side immediately got angry.

Among the ten or so girls lying on the ground, one familiar figure slowly raised her right hand.

"Fan Yi, it’s you again!" the instructor bellowed, "Didn’t I tell you before? What you’re holding is a gun, not a fire stick! If it goes off, it can kill!"

Fan Yi lifted her head slightly, a face full of grievance, "I, I didn’t move, it, it just..."

"You didn’t move? If you didn’t move, are you saying the gun fired itself?" the instructor’s emotions flared up, "Stand up, now!"

"Yes."

Fan Yi stood up, head hung low.

The girls nearby laughed.

"I always wondered, someone as clumsy as you, how on earth did you get into a key university? You make mistakes even in lining up or marching. I warned you again and again before shooting, you must maintain discipline here, discipline! Do you not know what discipline is, being a student?"

Fan Yi didn’t speak, just hung her head low.

Li Yang was about to go over and say something nice, but you stepped forward to the instructor, "Instructor Zhang, let me teach her."

Instructor Zhang gave you a glance and sighed, "No need to teach her anymore. Anyway, you all are just going through the motions, just experiencing it will be enough."

"Instructor Zhang, she’s naturally clumsy. She’s always bumping her head in the dormitory. I bet her brains have been rattled by now. If she isn’t going to shoot, then let me take the remaining four bullets, okay?"

A made-up girl stood up and fluttered her long eyelashes at you and Instructor Zhang.

Instructor Zhang turned his head and said casually, "Fine, you do it."

"Alright then."

As the girl passed by you, she didn’t forget to say, "Li Muyun, I’m not very good at shooting, will you teach me how?"
