HPDBC Chapter 105: First Mistake?
Chapter 105: First Mistake?
shame!
An unprecedented sense of shame welled up inside me.
Was I... scared?
Is it...
An absurd and terrifying thought uncontrollably popped into Su Qingying's mind.
He... comprehended the will of martial arts?!
Suddenly, her tutor's evaluation of her came to mind.
Her killing intent, honed through countless trials, has come incredibly close to becoming a true "martial will."
It was just one step away from victory.
In the annual freshman exams at Galaxy Martial Arts University, no more than 20 people actually manage to take this step!
Su Qingying's heart could no longer remain calm; it was filled with turbulent waves.
But she forced herself to calm down.
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
How could someone from a remote, grain-producing region possibly have grasped a field that only top geniuses could reach before even enrolling in school?!
It must be an illusion!
In that very instant.
Su Qingying's pupils suddenly contracted.
coming!
The spear in Lin Qiye's hand seemed to transform into a black lightning bolt, carrying a scorching and domineering force, and suddenly thrust towards her!
Su Qingying was focused and showed no sign of panic.
Holding a shield in her left hand, she precisely met the thrusting spear tip, while simultaneously stomping her right foot on the ground, adjusting her center of gravity to its optimal position.
She was ready.
The moment the shield collides with the spear tip, she will use the recoil to propel herself forward like an arrow released from a bow!
"clang!"
A crisp, metallic clang rang out.
Su Qingying's shield successfully blocked Lin Qiye's earth-shattering shot!
It's now!
However, just as she was about to take a step forward, an extremely dangerous warning from the depths of her soul, like a cold electric current, instantly spread throughout her entire body!
Danger!
This fighting instinct, honed through countless brushes with death, has saved her from near-death experiences on numerous occasions.
This time, she chose to believe without hesitation!
She abandoned her forward momentum, her toes slammed into the ground, and her entire body was pulled backward as if by an invisible force, causing her to retreat abruptly!
Swish!
Almost at the same moment she stepped back, an extremely fast, cold glint of light grazed her neck and flashed past!
The moment Lin Qiye's spear was blocked by her, it thrust out again with incredible speed!
The spear flashed like a dragon, its cold gleam arriving first!
The tip of the gun, like a blazing spark, suddenly bloomed in her beautiful yet terrified eyes, its dazzling, destructive light illuminating the paleness of her face.
The next instant, Su Qingying felt a cold, stinging pain on her neck.
Immediately, warm liquid gushed out.
She instinctively reached out and touched it, her hand covered in blood!
Su Qingying's face turned deathly pale instantly. Without hesitation, she took out a high-efficiency hemostatic spray from her tactical bag and sprayed it vigorously onto the wound.
She felt a wave of fear wash over her.
If I hadn't taken that decisive step back just now, my neck would probably have been pierced through by that bullet!
That shot was too fast!
It's so fast it's completely illogical!
The first shot was deflected, but the second shot was fired so quickly, with almost no pause or build-up in between.
It was as if the force of the first shot had not yet dissipated before the second shot was already thrust out.
A marksmanship at a master level?!
At the other end of the training ground, Lin Qiye looked at Su Qingying, who was injured and retreating, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
This was his first loss since the start of the competition.
Sure enough, facing a stronger opponent was no longer as simple and easy as before.
Lin Qiye did not press his advantage.
After the five matches in the morning, he was very clear about his strengths and weaknesses.
The perfect level of "Swift Wind Spear Technique" consists of a single move called "Swift Wind Thrust".
Within an attack range of 1.5 to 2.5 meters, it is practically a one-hit kill, and very few people can defend against it.
However, once you go beyond this optimal attack range, it's easy to get pulled back and fall into a passive situation if you try to chase your opponent.
His gaze fell on Su Qingying's neck, which was rapidly healing.
Anyway, it's not me who's in a hurry right now, it's the other person.
If the opponent only defends, they will only waste their physical and mental energy.
If the opponent still wants to win, they must take the initiative to attack.
And as soon as she enters his attack range, it's his chance!
Su Qingying clearly understood this as well.
She knew she couldn't wait passively any longer.
If this drags on, I'll just be worn down to death!
We must seize the opportunity!
Fight!
Su Qingying's eyes instantly became resolute; she no longer hesitated or held back.
Her spiritual energy surged wildly, and a chilling killing intent rose from her body once more.
This time, it's more refined and purer than before!
"kill!"
With a sharp cry, she charged towards Lin Qiye like a cheetah flying close to the ground!
The alloy longsword in his hand was already poised to strike.
She had made up her mind that even if she had to take a bullet from the other side, she would close the distance!
The next second, Lin Qiye moved.
It was still that incredibly fast shot!
"Bang!"
It's blocked!
Su Qingying used all her strength to slam the small alloy shield in her hand, successfully deflecting the fatal shot!
The immense force sent numbness through her entire arm, and the small alloy shield flew out of her hand.
But she succeeded!
She successfully closed the distance!
However, just as she was about to charge forward and end the match with her dagger, she was horrified to discover...
At the same moment he drew his gun, Lin Qiye on the opposite side actually took a step back!
That step was simple and unadorned; it was just a regular step backward in the "Basic Footwork" manual.
But this simple step, just right, once again widened the distance between the two to more than two meters!
Danger!
Danger!
Danger!
Su Qingying's mind was screaming warnings!
She forcefully stopped her forward momentum, pushing off the ground with her toes, trying to retreat again!
However, Lin Qiye's second shot had already arrived!
Swift as lightning!
"Pfft!"
The cold tip of the gun pierced through her combat uniform on the left chest in an instant, penetrating her flesh!
Immediately afterwards, a scorching and violent energy exploded at the large thunderbolt on her left!
"boom!"
Su Qingying felt a sharp pain in her left chest, as if she had been struck by an invisible hammer. She was thrown backward uncontrollably, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"This...this is psionic energy?!"
Su Qingying fell heavily to the ground, her eyes filled with horror.
If I hadn't instinctively taken half a step back, that shot would probably have pierced her heart!
Then, detonate the psionic energy within her...
The consequences could be disastrous!
Fire-attribute psionic energy!
This guy has also cultivated offensive psionic techniques of grade B or higher!
Lin Qiye's unexpected performances shocked Su Qingying like never before.
What made her even more ashamed and indignant was that the big thunderbolt on her left side exploded directly.
Blood and gore!
The intense pain and humiliation caused her cold and proud heart to feel an indescribable sense of shame and anger.
She instinctively covered the wound with her hand.
However, the thought had barely crossed his mind when Lin Qiye fired his third shot.
The spearhead, gleaming with a cold light, rapidly magnified in her pupils, like the gaze of death itself.
