After faking her death in interstellar space, the powerful woman disguised herself as a man and went

"Alright." Leng Ran was full of fighting spirit. "Instructor Lin, what are the rules?"

Instructor Lin: "Sniper battle, choose your own sniper rifle. The three of you will each have two bullets, and I will have six bullets. Choose the Tianqian map."

The prototype of the natural barrier is located at the Morning Star, named for its precipitous terrain, which resembles an insurmountable chasm between heaven and earth.

Its two sides are sheer cliffs, towering into the clouds; the narrow and winding crevices in the middle are only ten meters wide at their narrowest point, yet they are bottomless, as if they were cleaved by a god in a fit of rage with supreme divine power.

"To motivate you, if you win, no, if you can last fifteen minutes..." Instructor Lin thought of something, "Oh right, the three of you don't need academic credits."

Leng Ran: Indeed, two of them didn't enroll, and one has already entered the army for an early internship, so they don't lack credits.

"If you can last for fifteen minutes, you win, and you'll get your credits in advance." Instructor Lin waved his hand. "Mo Li, go get your weapons first. Once you're ready, head straight to Field Number Three."

The shooting range covers a large area, including one large simulated battlefield and several smaller simulated battlefields. The No. 3 field that Instructor Lin mentioned is one of the smaller battlefields.

Leng Ran followed An Liu and He Xiting to the equipment room dedicated to the simulated battlefield. There were also some people in the equipment room at this time, choosing the weapons that suited them.

An Liu quickly explained, "The Heavenly Barrier Valley will only simulate a small part of it in the small-scale battlefield. In the faction battle, we and the instructors will be positioned on the mountaintops on both sides of the valley. If we fall into the crevice, we will be eliminated by the artificial intelligence."

Leng Ran: "An AI that determines victory or defeat? Is it Storm?"

An Liu chimed in, "That's right. Storm Star's core artificial intelligence is Storm, and both the Ninth Military Region and Storm Military Academy are under Storm's control."

He Xiting always carried his most proficient weapon, the "Sun Shooting" heavy charged sniper rifle, while An Liu carried the "Cloud Piercing" heavy instant-fire sniper rifle.

"Ah Li, what gun do you want to choose?" He looked at Leng Ran. "Hmm, it's a pity that the 'Eight Desolations' you used before isn't here. That one is still a new product."

A cold glance around revealed that the sniper rifles here were only of three common types: Sun Shooter, Cloud Piercer, and Eagle Eye.

"Well, since you've chosen Sunshot and Cloudpiercer, I'll choose Hawkeye."

Leng Ran picked up an "Eagle Eye" and examined it carefully. Its construction was no different from the real Eagle Eye, except that it did not use compatible bullets, and the magazine was equipped with special training bullets.

Anliu: "Although they are fake bullets and will not cause any real harm to the human body, if they hit the opponent's vital spot, Storm will declare the winner of this match."

After Leng Ran selected his gun, the three of them went to the simulation field together. Instructor Lin, carrying Eagle Eye, had been waiting for a long time.

"The three of you go through Gate 1, and I'll go through Gate 2. Let Storm determine the start time," Instructor Lin said. "Oh, by the way, Mo Li, you're not allowed to use your mental power in this match."

She readily agreed, not intending to use her mental power to locate Instructor Lin. To achieve the desired training effect, she planned to win the competition individually!

After agreeing, they walked together toward Gate Number One.

The moment you step through the gate, it feels as if you've entered another world.

She was now on the mountaintop on the left side of the chasm, with a rugged, rocky terrain in front of her, and a bottomless crevice not far away, separating the two sides.

The sound of a storm rang out: "Both sides have entered the arena. Five minutes left. Please find a suitable sniping position."

A countdown projection appeared out of thin air, and at the same time, an opaque light curtain rose from the crack, completely blocking the line of sight between the two sides and preventing one side from seeing the other side's sniper hiding position.

He coldly glanced at the two who were about to leave: "So, what do you mean? Any tactics?"

He Xiting blinked: "Ali, do you have any tactics?"

“No tactics,” An Liu replied. “The map is too small. Just go for it. Who needs tactics?”

“That’s right. Usually, it’s over once the instructors have eliminated us all.” He Xiting nodded. “Five minutes left! Ali, let’s hide quickly! Let’s try to avoid being found this time!”

Leng Ran asked, puzzled, "Why is everyone so pessimistic? Ting-ge, this isn't like you."

“Instructor Lin is a veteran sniper. Although I hate to admit it, his skills are far superior to ours.” An Liu curled his lip. “This time, I’m definitely going to find an even more concealed place!”

Then, Leng Ran saw the two of them start rolling around on the ground, getting covered in sand and dirt, trying to disguise themselves as stones.

Leng Ran quickly started running, checking out suitable sniping spots. After circling around, Leng Ran did find a few decent spots.

She first moved to a well-concealed position that was also suitable for attacking, and after setting up basic camouflage, she set up her sniper rifle.

Storm: "One minute countdown."

As excellent snipers, He Xiting and An Liu also selected the other two spots that Leng Ran had previously chosen.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Leng Ran's mind: No, the seemingly good spots are actually the most dangerous!

Instructor Lin is an excellent sniper and can quickly locate the other players. It was also the map he chose. Before the match, Instructor Lin was very confident that he could defeat the three of them.

This suggests that he may be very familiar with the Tianqian map and know the best sniping positions, and may have deliberately checked these positions!

He lowered his gaze to think, but if he didn't choose these seemingly perfect sniping positions and instead chose a less desirable shooting spot, the drawbacks might be even greater.

Unable to think of a way to break the deadlock, she had no choice but to remain still and wait for Instructor Lin to make the first move so she could verify her conjecture.

Storm: "Three, two, one. The game begins."

The light curtain that had been hanging over the crack gradually disappeared, turning into specks of light, and the view of the opposite bank appeared clearly in Leng Ran's field of vision.

Leng Ran remained motionless, his right index finger slightly bent and resting on the trigger. He concentrated, carefully searching for Instructor Lin's figure through the high-powered scope.

He Xiting and An Liu were also carefully searching for Instructor Lin's location. A minute passed, and no one fired a shot.

Leng Ran remained calm. If her guess was correct, Instructor Lin would definitely fire the first shot within three minutes. If he didn't kill her with one shot, she would have a chance to take advantage of his habitual thinking and kill him instead!

Time ticked by, and Instructor Lin finally fired the first shot.

It's aimed at Leng Ran!

Hearing the sound, Leng Ran sensed something was wrong and quickly pulled her head back. A bullet just grazed the top of her head!
