Chapter 391: An Exhilarating Excitement
In order to maintain a high standard of hitting a prey’s leg, Lu Yixin had deliberated over every attempt.
For a wild rabbit running at high speed, she would directly give up unless she was confident of hitting it.
It was already difficult enough to hit the rabbit, much less the legs.
She only felt confident if it was an innocent rabbit or pheasant that remained unmoving while eating grass. Because with that, they don’t detect any danger.
Especially since pheasant legs were slimmer than that of rabbits!
But Lu Yixin realized that Gu Qingjiu didn’t have so many considerations when she fired a shot.
By the time she fired her fifth shot and hit her fifth rabbit, Lu Yixin broke down. “Qingjiu, let’s stop for a while. It’s troublesome to be carrying so many rabbits. Plus, we won’t be able to finish that many at night.”
Gu Qingjiu retracted her gun that still had smoke coming out of the muzzle, somewhat embarrassed. “I merely wanted to try the gun.”
After all, this was her first time training in the wilderness, so it was inevitable that Gu Qingjiu itched to try her hand at this.
Lu Yixin also discovered that no matter how fast the speed of the prey Gu Qingjiu was facing, she would be able to shoot it.
Her accuracy was 100%.
Two of her shots even hit the prey’s legs. But she claimed it was only due to luck.
But it was certainly more than luck that someone managed to hit the legs.
Because she was a newbie and also because Instructor Xiong never told them about how perverse Gu Qingjiu’s level of talent was, and that he merely described her as being a talented student…
No one really quite understood just how capable she was.
They merely felt that she was talented because of the short amount of practice time she took.
Now, looking at the shooting skills she was displaying, Lu Yixin was silently shocked.
Earlier on, Lu Yixin witnessed an instance where Gu Qingjiu saw a wild rabbit’s sudden appearance, and less than one second later, she fired a shot without hesitation.
It was a casual shot, yet she managed to hit the target!
When a target appeared, one had to at least observe its movements and speed, right?
She did none of that!
Even Lu Yixin, who had been practicing for many years, felt that she wouldn’t be able to do it under those circumstances.
Gu Qingjiu’s acute and extraordinary sensitivity towards objects, made Lu Yixin realize the reason behind her shocking level of talent.
“I know you want to try out the gun. If you’re really itching to try, I’ll tell my sister to let you try your hand at tonight’s competition.”
Gu Qingjiu raised a brow instantly. “What competition?”
“We came here not only to hunt. Every time we come, there is a small event—that is, a mini mixed match between the three military schools. We won’t be hunting, but we’ll be carrying out a gunfight in such an unfavorable topography. We won’t be keeping scores. Whoever is hit will be eliminated. When the time limit is up, whichever military school has the number of survivors will be considered the winner.
“Nighttime is where one’s eyesight and observation skills are put to the greatest test. Because some students might be hiding on some tree and sneaking an attack on you. Hence, there are many unknown elements in such a competition.
“Each school will only send out 15 people. Since you’re a newbie, my sister probably isn’t planning on sending you this time. Hence, she didn’t tell you about it.”
“If you wish to go, I’ll give up my opportunity to you tonight. In any case, you’ll just be going in to have some fun, so I think it doesn’t really matter. Moreover, I’m getting sick of it.”
It was a tragedy to be eliminated shortly after the competition started.
Upon hearing this, waves started forming in Gu Qingjiu’s calm heart.
Her eyes lit up. “Really? Then I’d like to try. Thank you.”
Gu Qingjiu felt very grateful for Lu Yixin.
She really wanted to give it a shot. She wanted to see where she stood among the students, with her current standard.
How long could she hold on for?
Merely the thought of it made Gu Qingjiu feel an exhilarating excitement!
