Fatty Tiger suddenly made some weird noises, hoping to disrupt Cangmu Kuang Qi's shooting rhythm, only to be met with a burst of laughter from the crowd.

Of course, while people were laughing, they were also amazed by Cangmu Kuang Qi's performance. No wonder she was so confident. It seemed that every elite Red Cloak had her own ace, shooting so continually and accurately. Even if Feng Yi won within 40 seconds, it would be a hollow victory, as he would have lost in terms of time. He only won in the end result.

"Miss, miss, miss...." Fatty's voice grew, and at this point, Elvis and Mu Tou joined in the chanting.

However, their howls of frustration were in vain. Cangmu Kuang Qi's shooting rhythm was unaffected, if anything, she was getting faster and more proficient.

The fourth shot, the fifth, the sixth... Cangmu Kuang Qi's shooting frequency continued to ascend. When she started with five shots it took her 7 seconds, which was still due to the waste caused by slight adjustments after recoil. The next three bullets took her just less than 3 seconds to fire, the last two took barely 2 seconds. Including the 5 seconds to reload, she only took 17 seconds altogether.

This was terrifying. Cangmu Kuang Qi was a natural weapon expert. Combined with her Eagle Eye strength, she was even better than she was originally. Not to mention the 30-second limit, she had finished shooting just after halfway through the time.

This was downright bullying. And Feng Yi had no reason to refuse because he was a federal warrior who had been through battles. Even in defeat, he shouldn't fear any challenge.

"It's your turn, rookie." Cangmu Kuang Qi laughed heartily, her eyes gleaming with pride. She had fought Feng Yi before, and compared to him, her shooting was superior. It was the close combat at the end that had turned the tables in his favor. But shooting was a different matter.

Feng Yi, however, did not disappoint. He casually took the gun and ten rounds of plastic bullets handed over by Cangmu Kuang Qi, and with the word "rookie" still on his tongue, he suddenly laughed.

It seemed that if he didn't show off a little, he'd be underestimated. A weapon was a warrior's best friend, and growing up on the Colonial Planet, he unknowingly became inseparable from weapons. It was irritating to be called a rookie by a girl who had only handled a gun for a few days, but he had never given up on his desire for battle.

"Can I start now?" Feeling the familiar texture of the gun in his hand, Feng Yi asked lightly.

"Anytime, but are you ready?" Cangmu Kuang Qi looked at Feng Yi with a hint of provocation.

With a helpless shake of his head, Feng Yi held the gun in a stance different from the standard loading methods. Using his thumb, he dropped the magazine and spun it around with his index finger. At the same time, his other hand was doing a quick load, similar to the violent cut-loading style often used by mercenaries in the underworld.

As Feng Yi loaded the gun, he swung it through the air leaving a few afterimages before loading was complete with a crisp clatter of bullets.

In a smooth motion, he fired the gun at an incredible speed. Bang, bang, bang...

What followed was a series of gunshots. The firing rate was so fast it was practically fully automatic. People couldn't even imagine how he would maintain his accuracy after the first shot. Even with his strength, his arm wouldn't be able to perfectly steady the recoil of the gun. Of course, experience and strength counted, but they weren't everything.

Yet, as Cangmu Kuang Qi saw Feng Yi's seamless moves, her expression shifted dramatically, her face no longer bearing its initial casual air. Why? Because she had seen Feng Yi's gun loading stance on a television show once, and recognized it – it was a primal maneuver that only a mercenary well-acquainted with firearms and having spent a long time on the battlefield could perform.

In that episode, the primal maneuver was just the beginning. What followed was the mercenary showcasing shooting skills that were illustrative of a top soldier in the army. In the next second, those same advanced shooting techniques, which could ordinarily only be glimpsed on television shows, were blatantly exhibited by Feng Yi.

Yes, Feng Yi didn't have any interval between pulling the trigger. He also didn't possess the Eagle Eye ability like Cangmu Kuang Qi. Yet she neglected a fundamental issue— the Eagle Eye enhanced effectiveness when shooting at moving objects and was almost insignificant for moving targets. Moreover, none of these skills were the primary assessment points for a warrior. If the so-called X Ability could really defy the heavens, the Federation wouldn't just have a couple of ace pilots like Grand.

Bang bang bang bang...

After ten continuous gunshots, everything returned to dust. In just under four seconds, ten targets were shot down. Considering the 2.2 seconds Feng Yi took to reload, it all summed up to hardly over seven seconds, saving significantly more than half the time taken by Cangmu Kuang Qi's seventeen seconds.

All rounds were dispensed without anyone noticing. People only heard a series of chaotic rifle sounds, but the reality before their eyes left them without any doubt. As the gunshots ceased, the remaining ten targets had all been hit.

"You're still quite a way off. Special abilities can't be the primary factor controlling the battlefield. Overreliance can backfire," Feng Yi said dismissively, setting the automatic rifle aside. He was not intentionally mocking his opponent or giving a lecture, but some lessons are crucial. After all, Cangmu Kuang Qi was a future super mecha pilot. If she were to step onto the battlefield with this mindset and recklessly lose her life, not just her life but also precious resources would be wasted.

These resources might seem readily available for the elite Red Cloaks, but they were a cost the Federation could barely afford. While the landscape hadn't drastically changed early into the war, Feng Yi believed that with the continued spread of battle flames, internal conditions would progressively shift with the rise and fall of fortunes.

Kuang Qi was taken aback. Was he really that strong? But, jokingly, she knew full well how skilled Feng Yi was—it's just that he usually chose not to show off his prowess. Far from being bad at shooting, rather he intentionally held back because he was too good, too proficient. The marksmanship of the Revenge Shadow Riders in the Galactic Warfare was a perfect representation of Feng Yi's gun skills.

Compared to shooting, Feng Yi believed that his close-quarter combat abilities and other aspects needed improvement.

However, speaking of shooting, Cangmu Kuang Qi's marksmanship was even inferior to Huang Zhennan's. He often thought that the Federation was over-focusing on nurturing the youth, thereby overlooking the brave soldiers truly battling on the frontlines. Although their acquired talents surpassed the former, their combat experience and the necessities to be learned were far below.

By this moment, everyone was stunned—Fat Tiger, Elvis, Mu Tou, even Sky Shadow. Even the usually indifferent Lulu had his smile replaced by bewilderment when he saw Feng Yi's fleeting shooting skills.

At this point, Cangmu Kuang Qi was still somewhat dumbstruck. What level of shooting was this? She had intentionally researched and found that Feng Yi's shooting ability was only on par with Zi Mou's and Angelina's, but who knew it would be so strong?

She felt like she was the fool, thinking she was going easy on him, only to realize she was the one being played. Although she had always adopted an open mindset, this outcome still left her teetering on the brink of breakdown. She knew Feng Yi was powerful, incredibly powerful, but everyone had their specialties; he should at least let the others have a way out!

As she thought this over, Cangmu Kuang Qi suddenly laughed. She finally understood why her sister had repeatedly urged her to learn from Feng Yi and refrain from arbitrarily challenging him. Such a level of skill had already entered the ranks of world-class elite soldiers, while the professional skills she possessed were ones that her warrior sister did not have.
