Chapter 52: Opponent and Commander
In the shooting training ground, ten students were divided into groups and stood in front of ten shooting targets. This afternoon's training was fixed-point shooting. Each person had 30 rounds of ammunition and was uniformly equipped with FSE-1 firearms. In the end, everyone was ranked according to the total number of rings.
Everyone's bullets and targets are loaded into the intelligent computer system. Therefore, in the last two rounds, there was a comedy where two people next to each other hit each other's targets and were publicly executed by the intelligent computer on the big screen.
"Don't tell anyone that you are my student when you get out." Instructor Chen said helplessly.
The two men nodded foolishly: "We will say that we were taught by Instructor Kaiong, Instructor Chen, don't worry."
The students tried their best to suppress the corners of their mouths, trying to stop themselves from smiling and slow down their heart rates, otherwise when it was their turn to shoot, they would be the ones who would make a fool of themselves.
A new group of students came up, and the group of students who were originally laughing and playing suddenly became serious and quiet.
The fourth and fifth ones are...Liu Zheng and Xu Lingqu!
A powerful dialogue, these two people are actually facing off head-on in adjacent lanes!
Liu Zheng lowered her head to reload the bullets. During this gap, she glanced at Xu Lingqu on her right.
She looked calm and composed, just like she had been when facing other challenges and tests.
At this moment, Liu Zheng couldn't control her heartbeat, and even her hands were shaking slightly. She took a deep breath, and her years of experience in shooting competitions allowed her to quickly find a way to adjust herself.
She couldn't help but be excited, she had been waiting for this competition for a long time.
"I will completely defeat you in the project that you are most confident and proud of."
Xu Lingqu's words emerged in Liu Zheng's mind, and the feeling as if flammable agent was flowing in her blood and transmitting to every part of her body came back again.
Liu Zheng gripped the gun tightly, she would let Xu Lingqu know her determination to win.
“That’s so perverted.”
After the first ten shots, Liu Zheng and Xu Lingqu were tied on the big screen. Both averaged over 10.5 per shot, with Liu Zheng hitting the bull's eye with 10.9 three times and Xu Lingqu twice, for a total score of 107.4, far surpassing all the other students in their group.
This shooting training ground is completely dedicated to the two of them, a battlefield filled with smoke.
Jin took a deep breath and looked at Shen Shouli: "Do you know Liu Zheng's record as a champion in fixed-point shooting? The trophies stacked up are almost as tall as her, so you know how great Xu Lingqu is..."
She hasn't even studied it systematically!
Shen Shouli stared at Xu Lingqu's figure on the fifth track without blinking. Her back was as straight as a bamboo, and it was clear from her shooting posture that she had not received any systematic training.
He spoke in a voice that only Jin could hear: "Just be thankful that such a genius belongs to the Interstellar Empire."
Lin Xiao had been to the Empire Shooting Competition, but Liu Zheng was not there. The contestants chased each other with one shot after another, and the results were updated on the big screen at any time. There was also an exclusive holographic projection of the target hitting the bull's eye. She thought that was exciting enough.
And now, in this shooting training ground, Liu Zheng and Xu Lingqu made everyone's heart jump to their throat. Lin Xiao even felt that he was having difficulty breathing due to nervousness.
The students, including Instructor Chen, held their breath, waiting for the winner to emerge.
The onlookers were much more nervous than the shooters.
After the second round of ten shots, new results were updated. This time, the performance of both of them was more brilliant than last time. Liu Zheng's total score in the second round reached 107.6, while Xu Lingqu lagged behind by 0.1 ring, which was 107.5.
After adding up the results, the two are no longer tied. Liu Zheng ranks above Xu Lingqu with a 0.1 ring advantage.
When Xu Xizhen saw the updated numbers on the big screen, he immediately clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and muttered something.
Jin found her look a little funny, but he didn't dare to tease her like before. If the two of them started making a fuss, it would definitely affect Liu Zheng and Xu Lingqu who were shooting.
He asked in a low breath, "What are you doing?"
Xu Xizhen also replied in a low voice: "I am praying and practicing."
"If these things are some kind of cult, be careful that the police will come to your door." Jin made a gesture of wiping his neck.
"Go away, you're the one who's in the cult, why do the police care about this?" Xu Xizhen muttered, but he couldn't care less at the moment and concentrated on praying and performing rituals for his sister.
Liu Zheng, oh Liu Zheng, please be kind and miss the target! Miss the target!
Unfortunately, Xu Xizhen's prayers were not very reliable.
Summary of updated shooting numbers for the third round.
Liu Zheng: 107.1
Xu Lingqu: 107
Xu Lingqu once again fell behind Liu Zheng by 0.1 ring.
The total scores of the last two people in three rounds appeared on the overall leaderboard on the big screen.
1. Liu Zheng: 322.1
2. Xu Lingqu: 321.9
In a duel between masters, a slight difference can lead to a huge mistake.
This battle ended with the gun god Liu Zheng from the fourth galaxy defending his glorious history of shooting.
Liu Zheng looked at the familiar first-place result on the big screen. Her usually cold face was now filled with joy and excitement.
She won, she beat Xu Lingqu and was not defeated in the event she was most confident in.
"Congratulations." Xu Lingqu put down her gun. She had certain expectations about the outcome of this game.
My posture wasn't standard enough, I still had some bad shooting habits, and my hands in this body weren't steady enough, so I needed more training... Many factors led to my ultimate failure.
But she didn't say anything about these things. If she lost, she lost. Saying these things was just making excuses for herself.
"You are very strong. I will challenge you again next time." Xu Lingqu turned and left the shooting position to make room for the next group of people.
Liu Zheng also put down his gun, followed and grabbed Xu Lingqu's sleeve.
"What's wrong?" Xu Lingqu thought for a moment and didn't shake off her hand.
"In the military academy league, I will be the most useful gun in your hand, Commander." Liu Zheng had been brewing these words in her heart for a long time these days. She had to admit that no matter it was a river raid or an underground maze, Xu Lingqu was not only her opponent, but also her commander.
She was still not very good at expressing herself, so she would not express her desire to fight alongside Xu Lingqu as directly as Lin Xiao or Xu Xizhen.
But Xu Lingqu probably understood what Liu Zheng meant, so she nodded and said, "Okay."
At this moment, no one present could have predicted that in the near future, Xu Lingqu and Liu Zheng would create a new record for the number of individual kills in a single match of the Military Academy League team competition.
Their names will soon be all over the Tianwang forum, but that’s a story for the future.
The shooting training ended successfully. Instructor Chen sorted out the report cards and returned to his office in a good mood. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Kaion lying half-dead on his sofa.
Instructor Chen: ...
