The next morning.

Inside the classroom of Class 9, Department of Life Sciences.

The atmosphere was so frozen it was suffocating.

All eyes in the class were on Xiao He, who was studying diligently... behind him.

Wang Xuefeng stood with his arms crossed against the wall, waiting patiently and leisurely. When Wang Qingquan asked him why earlier, he only replied, "I took leave."

I took time off to be with my girlfriend...

The girls' thoughts were somewhat disordered.

Because of the temporary deprivation of biological elements, all classes in the School of Life Sciences are in a self-study state.

Originally, Xiao He was supposed to accompany Wang Xuefeng to the shooting range, but Xiao He, feeling uneasy, decided to look through some books on biology instead, so Wang Xuefeng followed along for his safety.

"Common Combinations of Life Elements", "Analysis of Priest Magic Sequence Combinations"...

Several books were placed in front of Xiao He. They were all from the bookshelves in the classroom, which he could browse at will, but he could not take them away.

Not only priests, but all elementalists need to learn elemental arrangement. Only by correctly arranging and combining elements can they release skills correctly, commonly known as the "chanting process".

"Magic sequence combination" can be understood as skill combination.

Due to the limited capacity of elemental cyclones, novice elementalists can only build a maximum of three sequences, which is three skills.

Unlike other elementalists, priests have only a few "classic" skills to choose from.

For example, some novice fire mages prefer small fireballs, while others prefer fire lines. They can then choose their sequence based on their individual needs.

The most important thing for a priest is healing.

In basic magic, the most cost-effective spells are "Blessing," "Sanctuary," and "Minor Heal." However, once you reach the intermediate level, the priest's available options increase dramatically.

Besides the classic "Restore" spell, the other two skills represent this priest's ability inclinations.

The "mirror wall" in Jiangcheng is a typical example of self-defense and counterattack.

Xiao He browsed through books in search of skills that could "delay" or "accelerate" growth.

However, after searching diligently for an entire morning, he still couldn't find any relevant permutations or combinations. Clearly, this ability was too obscure to be recorded in the common types set.

The bell rang again, signaling the end of get out of class, and Xiao He closed the last book.

"No?" Wang Xuefeng asked.

Xiao He shook his head helplessly: "It seems we can only look for it in the library."

Now?

"This afternoon."

Xiao He got up to return the books, looked up at the clock, and realized there was still one class left before school ended.

"So where do you plan to go now?" Wang Xuefeng asked, following behind him.

"Don't you have shooting practice? I'll go with you." Xiao He didn't want to go through all that trouble, but he really needed Wang Xuefeng by his side this week.

The latter coughed lightly, nodded slightly, and did not refuse.

-

The shooting range was in a relatively remote location, so Xiao He drove Wang Xuefeng directly to his destination.

"Report! Wang Xuefeng requests to return to the team!"

The instructor glanced at him sideways: "Return to your unit."

However, this was immediately followed by a soul-searching question posed to Xiao He, who was standing offstage.

"What are you doing here?"

"Bystander".

In terms of tact and social skills, Xiao He was no match for the experienced Wang Xuefeng.

He wears his heart on his sleeve and is easily influenced by the attitude of others.

For example, when faced with a cold question from an instructor, his subconscious reaction is to give a cold answer.

As soon as he finished speaking, the four rows of soldiers raised their chests in unison, as if they had all taken a deep breath at the same time.

Sure enough, the instructor's expression immediately became much more interesting.

"Wang Xuefeng, is this your girlfriend?"

"...Yes, sir."

"How about I give her a gun? You two can take the exam together?"

"...Report, I'm fine with anything."

Everyone tried their best to purse their lips, their facial muscles and nostrils tensed up.

"Okay." The instructor looked at Xiao He: "You, come in. If you can pass the test, you'll always be welcome here, but if you can't, don't come to this group of men again."

Xiao He did not back down at all. He just looked at the rifles in everyone's hands. They were quite different from the rifles in the world, especially the elemental energy bar.

"I'm a biology major."

The instructor was stunned for a moment before realizing that his shawl did indeed have a biological pattern.

The latter casually glanced around and spotted an ordinary hand crossbow hanging on the wall: "Can I use this?"

Everyone remained motionless, their eyes collectively darting to the side.

Good heavens!

Instead of choosing from so many guns with scopes, I picked a small crossbow that's inaccurate for beginners.

Is it too naive or just too naive?

Xiao He was helpless. He wasn't Wang Xuefeng; he had never even touched a firearm in real life. He would struggle to find a gun to cock, let alone know the proper way to hold a gun.

Instead of going through all that trouble, it's better to choose the most primitive one, which only requires loading a crossbow and pulling the trigger.

"Okay, come on, let's start with the two of you." The instructor stretched out his hand, as if inviting him to take the field.

With the help of the gunsmith assistant, Xiao He learned the basics and then stood beside Wang Xuefeng with ten crossbow bolts.

The people behind them widened their eyes, afraid of missing even the smallest detail.

After all, it's a once-in-a-millennium event for a girl to come here...

Although the girl is already taken, she is still a breath of fresh air in this war-torn land!

Once the two were ready, the assistant immediately pulled the joysticks of a pair of jet discs.

"Bang!"

"Whoosh!"

Snap! Snap!

Both frisbees shattered simultaneously.

The instructor raised an eyebrow. Xiao He's arrow only hit the edge of the disc, so his score could only be considered passable. But this was only the first round.

"Heh..." He shook his head and laughed.

Ten seconds later, the second pair of frisbees was launched at an even higher angle, and even its speed was twice as fast as the first pair.

"Bang!"

"Whoosh!"

Snap! Snap!

Xiao He had already gotten a feel for it and had made some estimations about the weight of the crossbow bolts.

Whether it's a bullet or a crossbow bolt, the trajectory after it's fired is a parabola.

In contrast, while the priest's skill also follows a parabola, the latter actually appears to be equivalent to a straight line.

The principle is the same.

The proof of eighth-order accuracy well demonstrates this point.

"Bang bang bang..."

The two continued shooting at the frisbee without exchanging a single word.

However, the people behind them, including the assistant, were already stunned into silence.

After all, they could clearly see that this was Xiao He's first time using a small crossbow, which shows how strong his ability to learn was.

"If we could recruit this girl into our class, wouldn't we have another formidable asset..."

"Why are the advanced shooting groups divided into male and female groups...?" Everyone was in tears.

Contrary to everyone else's mood, the instructor had a strange expression.

In his eyes, Xiao He's movements were still full of mistakes, but he was always able to find the right angle for him.

Although it doesn't hit the bullseye every time like Wang Xuefeng, it still clearly makes a "slap" sound.

"Man proposes, God disposes?" The instructor suddenly felt a little annoyed.
