The gunfire was so dense it seemed to form a continuous line, one shot after another, crisp and clean, without any hesitation.
The target reporter's voice had gone from initial surprise to excitement, and finally to a near-broken roar!
"Ten rings! Ten rings again!"
"Still a bullseye!"
"My God! Consecutive hits! All ten rings!"
Eight bullets, eight bullseyes!
As the final target call faded, the entire firing range fell into a deathly silence.
A biting wind swept through, stirring up the sand and dust on the ground. Everyone seemed to be frozen in place, staring blankly at the target fifty meters away.
In the very center of the target paper, eight bullet holes almost overlapped, forming an irregular fist-sized hole.
"My God..." Someone gasped first, the sound particularly clear in the silent shooting range, instantly igniting the entire scene.
"Eight...eight 10s! Add the first 5, and that's 85!"
"Are you crazy?! That marksmanship is incredible! Is he even human?"
"Quick! Look! Only one shot left! If... if it's another ten, the total score will be ninety-five! That's breaking Jiang Yan's record!"
Wang Xiaoya and Chen Xiaocao hugged each other excitedly.
Wang Xiaoya's adoration for Su Tang had reached an unparalleled level. She jumped up and down, screaming in a low voice, "Our Su An is sooooo amazing! I knew it! I knew she was the best!"
Chen Xiaocao was also flushed with excitement, "Ninety-five rings! Su An is going to take first place! She's going to break the record!"
Zhao Yan and Sun Erniu stared wide-eyed, unable to close their mouths for a long time. They just couldn't understand how this usually quiet and reserved guy had suddenly become a sharpshooter. He had kept it a secret for so long!
Qiao Lin's face was beyond ugly.
Impossible, absolutely impossible! How could this country bumpkin, this quiet rascal, possibly have such marksmanship?
She cheated! She must have cheated!
But who can hit the bullseye eight times in a row? This simply cannot be explained by luck!
The male soldiers were in an uproar.
"Holy crap! When did our battalion produce such a sharpshooter? How come we never noticed her before?"
"You know what, if you look closely, Su An is actually quite good-looking, it's just that her skin is a bit dark, otherwise she would be a pretty girl."
Jiang Yan's voice reached Bai Wei's ears clearly. His tone didn't betray any displeasure at being challenged; instead, it carried an undisguised admiration.
"Look at the way she holds the gun, it's as steady as if it's welded to the ground. From the first mistake to the second adjustment, there's almost no time to think. It's pure muscle memory and shooting instinct. People like that are born sharpshooters."
A subtle, complex emotion flickered deep within Bai Wei's eyes.
She and Jiang Yan grew up in the same compound and were childhood sweethearts. She had never seen him praise or evaluate any other girl so directly.
The look in his eyes was one of excitement and intense interest from a worthy opponent, which made her very uncomfortable.
On the high platform, even the ever-unchanging icy face of Chief Instructor Lei Kuan finally showed a hint of emotion.
This Su An...
Despite suffering a severe setback in the first shot and being ridiculed by the entire audience, he was able to withstand immense pressure and adjust instantly, managing to catch up with eight consecutive impeccable bullseyes.
This requires an incredibly strong mental fortitude and exceptional shooting skills.
This girl... In the previous two months of training, her grades in all subjects were mediocre, slightly above average. She never stood out, nor did she fall behind. How come he never noticed that her marksmanship was so accurate?
Just as everyone held their breath, waiting for Su Tang to fire the final shot and witness the birth of a new record.
Female instructor Zhang Ruobing quickly walked to Lei Kuan's side, lowered her voice, and whispered a few words in a volume that only the two of them could hear.
Lei Kuan's eyes narrowed, his sharp gaze sweeping over Su Tang at the target position. He then nodded, picked up a megaphone, and his loud voice resounded throughout the area:
"Attention all personnel! Firing cease!"
