Chapter 478: Who Shoots Like That
"Get in the car, we’ll drive over," Shang Yi said expressionlessly, though he was actually quite looking forward to the surprise performance his junior brother would soon deliver.
"Senior brother, did you orchestrate this from the start?" Lin Feng asked Shang Yi after getting in the car, since today’s events were all initiated by his senior brother; without him, none of this would have come about.
"Junior brother, they are all true soldiers, whose minds are focused solely on the military and who deal with drug traffickers on a daily basis. I don’t want them to come to harm," Shang Yi replied, not denying Lin Feng’s question. He admitted that his initial plan had indeed involved making use of Lin Feng’s abilities. After all, the Spear Team had been steadily accumulating various honors in recent years, which wasn’t necessarily a good thing for a special forces team that frequently carried out missions.
Shang Yi had been looking for a way to splash some cold water on these nine men, to clear their vision from being clouded by external distractions. It just so happened that his junior brother appeared suddenly, allowing Shang Yi to go with the flow and push the task onto Lin Feng. Only by thoroughly waking these nine would they be able to progress further.
"I understand what to do," Lin Feng said, grasping his senior brother’s intentions. He realized Shang Yi intended to use him to knock some sense into these nine, all for their own good. With this in mind, there was no need for further discussion. Once they arrived at the shooting range, he would do what needed to be done without any courtesy.
Soon enough, they arrived at the shooting range. Lin Feng got out of the car and walked straight to the shooting position. After surveying the entire shooting range, he already had a clear picture in his mind.
Not long after Lin Feng took his position, the Spear Team also arrived at the shooting range, bringing along their weapons and ammunition. They had their own armory and, due to special circumstances, they were never limited in ammunition usage, so they came straight to the range carrying a box of bullets.
"How shall we compare?" Lin Feng took the Type 95 rifle handed to him by Xia Yong and pulled the bolt back. He felt the action of the rifle and then remained still.
"Let’s do this, we’ll shoot at fixed targets first, then moving targets. How about that?" Xia Yong, noticing Lin Feng’s skilled manner in operating the bolt and handling the rifle, twitched the corner of his eyes. This demeanor seemed that of someone experienced with firearms; otherwise, it wouldn’t have looked so professional and practiced. As a result, Xia Yong changed his original casual proposition to shooting at fixed targets first and then moving targets.
It must be said that Xia Yong’s fierce appearance often misled those who saw him for the first time. In reality, he was an extremely cautious individual. As the captain of the Spear Team, he was responsible for every aspect of the team.
"Whatever," Lin Feng replied nonchalantly, glancing at the soldiers training below as if the shooting competition was of no concern to him.
"Zhou Dao! Your turn! Let me introduce him, Zhou Dao is the army’s shooting champion, the current Spear King, and has never lost a shooting competition he has entered to date." Seeing Lin Feng’s casual demeanor, Xia Yong decided to call up Spear King Zhou Dao for the shooting test. Having the young Lin Feng compete against the renowned Spear King in shooting was bound to end in predictable defeat. Xia Yong was curious to see what kind of expression the young disciple would have afterward.
"Yes!" Zhou Dao, who was only 1.7 meters tall and slightly overweight, had already taken a dislike to Lin Feng. Upon hearing his captain’s command, he shouted loudly, loaded a new magazine filled with bullets, and without hesitation, lay prone and opened fire immediately.
"Da-da, da-da, da-da,..."
The thirty rounds were spent quickly, in less than twenty seconds, and Xia Yong immediately got up, roaring with confidence.
"Report, shooting complete."
"Score the targets!" Seeing the smile on Zhou Dao’s face, Xia Yong knew the score wouldn’t disappoint, so he joyfully called out for scoring. He couldn’t wait to find out how Lin Feng could possibly win! Usually, Zhou Dao scored no lower than 295 points out of 300 with thirty bullets, even during rapid fire. If it were single-shot precision firing, he was sure to hit all bullseyes!
"Report! 299 points!" Zhou Dao, looking at the target scoring machine, called out his score immediately. Such a performance was indeed impressive; 20 seconds, missing only one shot. It was a score worth being proud of.
"Well done! Return to formation!" Upon hearing Zhou Dao’s score, Xia Yong’s usually stern expression softened, as exceeding such a score would be less likely than winning the lottery. There probably weren’t more than three people in the entire army who could match it.
"Zhou Dao, nicely done!"
"Beautiful, 299 points!"
"That’s our Spear King!"
...
The members of the Spear Team were thrilled to see Zhou Dao score 299 points. Only Zhou Dao could achieve such an outcome. The Spear King remained the Spear King! A result like this was thought to be unbeatable. Now they were all very happy, looking forward to Lin Feng’s "performance," waiting to see how he would lose.
In their view, with Zhou Dao making his move, no one could possibly compare; it simply couldn’t be done by anyone, especially not by a disciple of a commanding officer barely in his twenties like Lin Feng.
A smile played across Shang Yi’s lips. He hadn’t expected Zhou Dao to deliver such an excellent score, but he believed his junior brother would not lose. He couldn’t put his finger on why he felt this way; he just knew inside that his junior brother was the direct disciple of their master, and for him, nothing was impossible. Lin Feng’s casualness suggested he had something up his sleeve, and Shang Yi wondered what sort of surprise his junior brother would unveil.
Administrator Zhang Wenhua had been watching by the side, and with a score of 299 rings, unless something unexpected happened, it was an unbeatable score. However, when Zhang Wenhua saw the smile that surfaced on Shang Yi’s face, he instantly felt that the Immortal’s actions were not so simple and that his disciple, Lin Feng, had yet to show any performance. Could it be that this score could still be surpassed? Thinking this, a look of skepticism crossed Zhang Wenhua’s face.
"Please!" Xia Yong handed a new magazine to Lin Feng, signaling that he could start.
"Let me try this gun first; it hasn’t been used before. Tell me how many rings I hit," Lin Feng said, loading the magazine and raising the gun to fire.
"Bang!"
Everyone present was startled because Lin Feng had fired without any aiming action, having lifted the gun and shot immediately—this... this wasn’t how anyone shoots...
Xia Yong, who had initially wanted to mock him, was also taken aback by Lin Feng’s shot. Nevertheless, he walked to the target machine to check the score for Lin Feng. However, when Xia Yong saw that the target machine indicated 10 rings, he was dumbfounded. How was this possible! A casual shot resulted in 10 rings, and he had claimed it was his first time using a Type 95 rifle—what on Earth was going on? He must have fluked it, it must have been a fluke...
"How many rings?" Lin Feng asked. He truly hadn’t used this gun before, but having read up on it, his guess shouldn’t have been far off.
"10 rings!" Upon hearing Lin Feng’s question, Xia Yong came out of his daze and reported the score. Now, looking at Lin Feng, his expression had completely changed, and he started praying internally, hoping Lin Feng’s initial shot was just a fluke because nobody could hit 10 rings like that on purpose!
Luck!
Impossible!
This can’t be!
...
The Reconnaissance Squad members, upon hearing Xia Yong announce that Lin Feng’s casual shot had scored 10 rings, were shocked. However, they couldn’t believe this was Lin Feng’s true ability. They thought if he were indeed so skilled, they would have seen him in the all-army competition before. So it simply must have been a fluke, it had to be.
"Not bad, good accuracy," Lin Feng said upon hearing it was 10 rings. Feeling more confident, he tucked the gun into his arms, casually laid his eyes on the sights, and firmly held the trigger down without letting go until he had fired the remaining 29 bullets...
"Ratatat..."
Each gunshot made the onlookers’ hearts skip a beat, and after the remaining 29 bullets were fired, everyone was left stunned. The way Lin Feng fired had been completely unexpected, never before had they heard of anyone shooting all their bullets at once—what was going on? Was Lin Feng giving up, or why else would he act so recklessly?
How could such random shooting possibly win?
Who shoots like that, isn’t this nonsense?
Just as I thought, his earlier shot must have been a fluke; otherwise, how could it have been a perfect 10?
Now he’s been exposed. With such shooting, it’s impressive if half the shots hit the target.
...
The Reconnaissance Squad members found Lin Feng’s shooting style shocking at first, but they quickly realized what was happening and began to mockingly laugh at him, thinking that the Immortal’s disciple was ridiculous. If one can’t win, just concede directly—how could such shooting result in a good score? Not to mention, the normal recoil would have caused the bullets to fly off wildly. With such shooting, even an Immortal couldn’t hit the target.
But, they thought, this was good in a way. They were eager to see the target score soon, wondering how Lin Feng would continue to talk big. Shooting like that, it would be impressive if he exceeded 100 rings, let alone beating Zhou Dao, the Spear King, who had never lost. They were curious how the Immortal would respond.
Shang Yi was also shocked by his disciple’s unconventional shooting method, never expecting Lin Feng to shoot like this. It was inconceivable, but Shang Yi believed there must be a reason behind it; otherwise, his disciple wouldn’t have used such a startling method. This was truly exaggerated! What was his disciple thinking? Shang Yi could no longer fathom Lin Feng’s thoughts.
As everyone stood stunned and speechless, Lin Feng spoke.
