Chapter 744: Chapter 747: Leaving Everyone Behind

”Captain, rest assured, I’ve been practicing the Flying Knife Technique here for a month now. I’m more familiar with the wind direction and speed than anyone here. With the strong sea breeze, if they throw their knives the old way, they definitely can’t beat me. I guarantee we’ll take the championship!”

Si Kun assured Lei Zhenhu, thumping his chest.

The flying knife contest in the afternoon took place at the same venue as the morning’s shooting competition.

However, the time for the afternoon contest was set at half-past two, when the sea breeze was particularly strong, making it very difficult to hit a target fifty meters away with a flying knife.

Fifty meters might not be a long distance for shooting with firearms, but throwing a flying knife that far with bare hands is challenging enough for ordinary people. Contestants are required not only to throw it but also to hit the target with precision.

Moreover, the significant sea breeze added to the difficulty.

After drawing lots, Mu Yunxi was assigned the fourteenth position.

Si Kun from Fierce Tiger Team was assigned the thirteenth.

”The Flying Knife Shooting competition now begins! Everyone has only one chance, and you must throw your knife within one minute, or you will be disqualified.”

The referee announced the rules solemnly and then pressed the stopwatch, ”Timing starts now!”

The audience around was very quiet as gusts of sea breeze blew, making it hard for everyone to keep their eyes open.

Many people were thinking, under such conditions, could anyone hit a target fifty meters away? Many lacked confidence.

”Si Kun from Fierce Tiger Team has thrown his knife!”

In the quiet shooting field, someone announced, and then Si Kun took the lead, his flying knife shooting out—

Thud!

The flying knife firmly stuck in the target, and it looked to be within the ninth ring at least!

Oh!

Upon seeing this, the crowd all exclaimed in unison; scoring inside the ninth ring under such windy conditions was nothing short of miraculous!

Lei Zhenhu himself was somewhat incredulous and quickly applauded in celebration.

Shortly afterward, within a matter of seconds, everyone else had thrown their flying knives.

After throwing his knife, Si Kun did not leave but stood aside, watching Mu Yunxi.

Seeing Mu Yunxi throw, he followed the knife with his eyes and saw it also hit inside the ninth ring. He was shocked and turned his head to look at Mu Yunxi in surprise.

Mu Yunxi, acting as if nobody else was around, didn’t even glance at Si Kun and directly walked back.

Every one of the sixteen competitors threw their knives within the allotted time, though there were two who didn’t adapt to the sea breeze and missed the target.

”Target 1, 7.1 rings.”

”Target 2, 6.6 rings.”

”Target 3, 7.9 rings.”

...

Indeed, under the influence of the sea breeze, the competitors’ scores were generally not very good, but this was expected by most.

”Target 11, 9.1 rings.”

When the referee read out the score for the player from Dahe Mercenary Team, the crowd was instantly abuzz with noise: this was the highest score so far, surpassing even the Persian Gulf Team’s scores, which were only around eight-point-something rings. This score from Dahe Mercenary Team was enough to secure a top position considering both morning and afternoon scores.

”Target 13, 9.5 rings.”

Oh!

When the referee read out the score for target 13 belonging to Si Kun, the crowd stirred again.

A score of nine-point-five rings was enough to astonish anyone!

Seeing the enthusiastic cheers from the crowd, Si Kun also wore a smug expression, giving Lei Zhenhu on the platform a confident smile.

However, turning his head to see Mu Yunxi standing proudly behind him, Si Kun’s smile stiffened and faded.

He blinked and looked; Mu Yunxi’s target also seemed to be around the ninth ring. Therefore, he still could not be careless, unsure of whether Mu Yunxi’s score would be in the nine-point range.

But from his observation, Mu Yunxi’s score should not have exceeded 9.5 rings.

”Target 14, 9.9... 10 rings!”

The judge at target 14 hesitated for a moment, then announced a score of 10 rings!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The audience, who had just been cheering and shocked, went silent upon hearing this score; it was so quiet that only the sound of the sea breeze could be heard!

Because the blade of the flying knife is quite large, the difference between nine rings and ten is marginal, and the judge had observed carefully before announcing the score.

But whether it was exactly 9.9 rings or 10 rings didn’t matter anymore.

After all, Mu Yunxi had already become the number one in Flying Knife Technique!

In the morning, she was the best in Shooting Skill!

With two events, Shooting Skill with 10 rings and Flying Knife Technique with 10 rings, she won both with perfect scores!

Hiss!

Was this score not a bit too terrifying?!

The crowd was silent for several seconds as many people gasped, stood up from their seats, and rushed to see Mu Yunxi’s expression.

However, Mu Yunxi had no expression, standing there utterly calm as if this result was within her expectations.

Next to her, Si Kun’s face froze, his mouth agape, an expression of annoyance all over him, his whole body seething with anger.

”This... this... this... how can this be...”

Si Kun repeated the word ”this” four times, then with a ”thud,” he collapsed to the ground, fainting from anger!

Following that, the judge announced the scores for targets 15 and 16, but none reached within nine rings.

Mu Yunxi, with absolute power, crushed everyone!

”This afternoon’s Flying Knife Technique competition, War Dragon Team, Mu Yunxi wins!”

”Together with this morning’s shooting, adding both events, I declare, War Dragon Mu Yunxi takes first place! War Dragon Team earns five points!”

The chief judge announced the winner, and everyone applauded.

In the spectator’s stand, people already surrounded Qin Tian, congratulating him in various ways.

Qin Tian was somewhat taken aback as well.

There was no doubt about Mu Yunxi’s expertise in Shooting Skill.

However, he hadn’t expected Mu Yunxi to be so formidable, achieving two perfect scores of 10 rings. If he were to compete, he wasn’t entirely sure of his chance.

After all, there was only one chance, and the probability of a mishap was too great.

The final overall score was also out; War Dragon Team taking first in both the arena fight and the Shooting Skill competition, had already amassed 10 points, basically guaranteeing a spot as a Three-star Mercenary Team!

The sudden rise made War Dragon the focus of everyone’s discussions.

On the VIP stand, Hu Zhengwei, with a face as dark as iron, stood up and walked out of the shooting range, fuming with rage.

”Useless trash, I had you train a month in advance, and yet, you couldn’t even handle a woman; trash!”

Hu Zhengwei was grinding his teeth in anger.

It wasn’t surprising, since his two sponsored teams, Fierce Tiger Team and Persian Gulf Team, were in a difficult position in terms of points.

Fierce Tiger Team had zero points in the first round and three points in the second round, totaling only three points.

Persian Gulf Team had two points in the first round and one point in the second round, also totaling three points.

What a coincidence!

Reaching their target of a Three-star position now seemed doubtful.
