At this moment, Bai Lixin was clumsily placing his eye on the sight, even holding the gun incorrectly.

Little Overlord silently watched as Bai Lixin aimed at a distant palm-sized target, firing a shot that left a small hole in the corner of the small target, not even hitting the bull’s-eye.

He couldn’t help but snicker. How could he have regarded this kind of trash as his imaginary rival for two years?

Even if he was terrible when he first encountered the air rifle, he still managed to hit the bull’s-eye.

After Bai Lixin fired the first shot, he lowered his head and silently observed and adjusted the air rifle in his hand, carefully fine-tuning the sight position.

Then he started aiming again.

Little Overlord restrained his laughter, looking intently at Bai Lixin’s actions.

A loud “bang” echoed as another shot left a hole on the target.

This time, it was a two-ring shot.

Little Overlord could barely contain himself; he was about to laugh to death.

If Bai Lixin could only manage two rings with his second shot, the third shot wouldn’t matter much.

Feeling bored, Little Overlord withdrew his gaze and applied for the competition.

After the application was confirmed, there were still 30 seconds left before the match began, which was perfect for Bai Lixin to take his third shot.

He was tired of it; he couldn’t be bothered to waste even 30 seconds on Bai Lixin, this little pretty boy.

As he submitted his application, a cold electronic voice from the system resounded above everyone’s heads: [Player Xuan Chishui applies to start the Air Rifle competition match. Participants: Xuan Chishui, Bai Lixin.]

[Number of matches: One.]

[Match introduction: The competition starts with the lowest 10-meter Air Rifle Gun level and ends at the highest level of 50 meters.]

[Each level has three shooting opportunities. Scoring 25 points or above will advance to the next level.]

[During the competition, if one party qualifies first, they are deemed successful.]

[If both parties lose their qualification at the same time, the final total score will determine the winner.]

[The score distribution for the five levels is as follows: Fifth level: 50; Fourth level: 30; Third level: 10; Second level: 7; First level: 3.]

[The prize for this match is: Bai Lixin: None; Xuan Chishui: Bai Lixin can choose the token.]

[If both parties understand the game rules and confirm the prize without any problem, please sign your names in the contract.]

After a brief 30-second introduction, Bai Lixin had just finished shooting his third shot when a white contract appeared out of thin air above both of them.

He quickly scanned the contents of the contract and, after confirming that there were no issues, wrote his name.

[Ding! The system has received the contracts from both parties, and the contract is established. The competition will officially begin in 10 seconds. Please play rock-paper-scissors to determine the order of appearance.]

[This competition will be fully broadcasted in the entertainment live room, and the audience can participate in the discussion through the barrage. Now, both parties, please draw lots to determine the order.]

For the rock-paper-scissors, Little Overlord extended his fist towards Bai Lixin confidently, and with the system’s prompt, he emerged victorious.

[Player Xuan Chishui, please choose the order of appearance.]

[Selection complete. Player Xuan Chishui chooses to go first. The competition stage is prepared, and the target has been replaced. Player Xuan Chishui, get ready to shoot. Player Bai Lixin, please wait.]

In the entertainment live room, the live broadcast suddenly attracted countless viewers.

The title of this live broadcast alone made people’s blood boil.

Air Rifle Competition! Bai Lixin VS Little Overlord Xuan Chishui!

A showdown between God Xin and the Little Overlord! How could anyone miss such an exciting match!

[Damn, Little Overlord is so bold; he even chose to go first after winning the rock-paper-scissors.]

[ Maybe this is how a showdown between two strong players goes.]

[Choosing the first position is not bad. If the first shot is excellent, it will put a lot of pressure on God Xin.]

[Ah, to be honest, would God Xin feel pressured? Look at the rewards; Xin Shen offers nothing while Little Overlord gets to lose two tokens.]

[From the rewards, this PK was definitely proposed by the Little Overlord.]

[I feel a bit sorry for the Little Overlord. It’s like a fledgling pup meeting a thousand year old fox.”

[Let it be; Little Overlord isn’t foolish. He dares to challenge like this because he undoubtedly believes he can beat God Xin. He never considered the possibility of losing from the start. He’s probably secretly gloating and is confident that he can completely crush God Xin.]

[But, has God Xin ever played air rifle here before? Won’t he lose to Little Overlord?]

[Brothers, the entertainment section is open for betting! Hurry!]

[What are the odds?]

[God Xin Shen 1.5, Little Overlord 1.8.]

[Wow, bet, bet, bet!]

Bai Lixin and Little Overlord who were already in the center of public opinion, were now focused on their targets.

Little Overlord raised the air rifle, shooting a perfect ten-ring shot, just as expected.

On the large screen, a conspicuous number “10” followed behind Little Overlord.

[Player Xuan Chishui’s first shot, ten rings, no violations, valid score. Player Bai Lixin, get ready to shoot. Player Xuan Chishui, please wait.]

Little Overlord smiled lightly, raising an eyebrow at Bai Lixin beside him.

After hearing the system prompt, Bai Lixin took a deep breath, raising the air rifle seriously.

Little Overlord noticed that Bai Lixin’s gun handling had improved significantly compared to before.

With a gunshot, a trace appeared on the target.

It was an 8-ring shot.

Little Overlord was taken aback for a moment but quickly relaxed.

It was only 10 meters; an 8-ring score wasn’t impressive. He had hit the bull’s-eye every time at 10 meters.

Besides, luck played a role in this; it was just one score, nothing to worry about.

Little Overlord raised his gun again, scoring another ten rings.

Bai Lixin’s second shot followed closely, reaching 9 rings, approaching the 10-ring position.

Little Overlord finally looked at Bai Lixin seriously. The arrogance in his eyes was now mixed with vigilance and seriousness.

Indeed, the praise for him wasn’t without reason; his ability to adapt and learn was strong.

But that was precisely why he deserved to be his opponent.

If Bai Lixin had remained at the level of three to four rings, he wouldn’t have even paid attention to him.

A fighting spirit appeared in Little Overlord’s eyes. He took his third shot seriously, and with the final gunshot, he successfully completed the first stage with a perfect score of 30 rings.

Bai Lixin’s third shot grazed the edge of the ten-ring. It was judged by the system as a 10-ring shot, making a total score of 27 rings for the first stage.

Both players successfully advanced to the second stage.

———————–

In the entertainment live broadcast room:

[The Air Rifle is indeed Little Overlord’s strong point. He hits ten rings every shot; he’s too strong.]

[God Xin is not bad either. He scored ten rings in the last shot. The first stage was just a warm-up, and the real competition is just beginning.]

[Have you noticed how God Xin holds the gun? It feels a bit awkward.]

[Yeah, it looks like the way you’d hold a bow or crossbow.]

[Will an incorrect posture affect his performance?]

[Uh, it might affect others, but for God Xin…I’m not sure, maybe?]

—————————–

The ten-meter target fell, and the twenty-meter target was raised.

It was only the second level, but to ordinary people, the ten rings on the target had merged into a tiny black dot. It was challenging to distinguish between rings, and hitting that dot would be considered good enough.

Little Overlord was still the first to start, and he hit ten rings again.

After several shots, Bai Lixin had clearly began to adapt to this competitive sport.

He slowly raised the gun, squinted his right eye through the sight, and gently squeezed the trigger, firing a shot.

It was nine rings, very close to ten rings.

Little Overlord frowned as he looked at Bai Lixin, and the disdain in his eyes completely disappeared.

If one or two times could be explained as coincidence, the third and fourth times were undoubtedly a display of skill.

Not only did Bai Lixin possess skill, but based on his current performance, he remained steady throughout.

Truly formidable, as expected of the opponent he had wanted to defeat in his entire life!

From this point on, Little Overlord’s gaze suddenly changed.

Unperturbed, Bai Lixin observed the young boy who appeared to be around sixteen or seventeen years old. As Little Overlord started to take it seriously, the sharp edge he had shown earlier immediately converged.

The playful cheetah retracted all its aura and focused intently on its prey.

There was a gunshot, and as expected, the 10th ring.

Under Little Overlord’s gaze, Bai Lixin raised his gun.

Although the target was twenty meters away, it was clearly visible to him. Moreover, he had experience with shooting games; he had designed the crossbow during the Deep Sea copy.

However, when he first touched the Air Rifle Gun, he was not accustomed to the feel and judging the trajectory.

After a few rounds, he gradually figured it out.

Gently squeezing the trigger, a small hole appeared on the target.

Ten rings.

Little Overlord pursed his lips, glared at Bai Lixin, and fired a shot at the target.

Ten rings.

In the second level, the two of them were neck and neck.

In the third level, Little Overlord made a mistake in his first shot, only hitting the 9th ring.

At that moment, he felt like biting off his tongue, but soon he felt relieved.

Bai Lixin only hit seven rings.

Of course, 30 meters wasn’t just three times more difficult than 10 meters; it was 30 or even 100 times more challenging.

Indeed, his performance had been improving, but the 30-meter mark was the true watershed for a duel between masters.

Quickly regaining his composure, Little Overlord displayed an unprecedented confidence and calmness.

He quickly squeezed the trigger, and a perfect ten rings appeared on the screen.

Next, Bai Lixin only scored 9 rings.

If Bai Lixin scored lower than 9 rings in the next shot, he would be stopped here.

[I didn’t expect the match point to be reached so quickly. God Xin is in a bad state today.]

[Hey, brother, you need to understand that even now, God Xin’s ranking would put him in the top 100. Only a few dozen people in the entire game lobby can make it to the fourth level. This is already good enough. No one’s perfect, so don’t treat God Xin like a machine.]

Little Overlord confidently fired his third shot, and this time, he performed exceptionally well, hitting a stable ten rings again.

The pressure was now on Bai Lixin’s side.

The audience in the live broadcast held their breaths. Although they were merely spectators, their hearts pounded uncontrollably, even more nervous than when they competed themselves.

As the camera showed Bai Lixin squeezing the trigger, the words “10 rings” appeared in the score list.

[He did it! 10 rings, he advanced! God Xin is mighty!]

[Oh my goodness, that scared me! My heart is racing. This is the joy of competition. Until the very last moment, you never know who will win.]

[We made it to the fourth level, sisters! We made it!]

[I’m excited too, this is a thrilling moment.]

As the 40-meter target appeared, even the usually composed Little Overlord became nervous.

His best score so far was 14 points in the fourth level, and he didn’t even qualify for the third shot.

But today, he was challenging his limits. He wanted to defeat not only Bai Lixin but also conquer himself.

Taking a deep breath, Little Overlord cleared his mind of all distractions, suppressed his pounding heart, and squeezed the trigger.

As he progressed, the nervousness clung to him like maggots on bones.

Nine rings!

At the moment the score appeared, Little Overlord clenched his fist in secret.

Nine rings, his best score in shooting 40 meters so far!

Today’s performance was indeed exceptional.

The difficulty increased towards the later stages, not only due to the longer distance but also because they couldn’t practice regularly.

Only by clearing the lower levels could players continue to play the subsequent ones.

This meant that most players were only able to progress within the first 30 meters.

Bai Lixin squinted his eyes and, under the tense gaze of the audience, pulled the trigger.

Seven rings.

Just the first shot, and he was already two rings behind. Furthermore, Bai Lixin had only made two mistakes so far.

The match reached another nerve-wracking moment.

Learning from his previous experience, Little Overlord didn’t take Bai Lixin’s performance to heart anymore.

He was almost certain that Bai Lixin couldn’t catch up to him now.

He no longer saw Bai Lixin as a threat; he was now fighting against himself!

The second shot was fired, and the score of eight rings appeared on the screen.

Although it was not as good as the first shot, with this score, he could take the third shot and even strive for the fifth level!

Little Overlord looked down at his hands.

At this moment, his hands were trembling slightly, but it wasn’t due to nervousness; it was the tremor of excitement.

He recalled a story he had heard before.

In order to keep the captured sardines fresh, fishermen would place a catfish in the water tank.

Now, he was the sardine, and Bai Lixin was the catfish.

If it weren’t for Bai Lixin constantly chasing from behind, he might not have achieved such good results today.

No, that’s not right.

Bai Lixin is not his opponent at all, so how could he be the catfish devouring the sardine?

He should be the catfish, increasing his swimming speed to catch the sardine.

The sound of a gunshot caught Little Overlord’s attention.

Intermittently, he glanced up at the large screen above, and when he saw the score, he suddenly froze.

Nine rings.

?!

Bai Lixin actually shot nine rings?!

How could this be possible?!

Little Overlord stared blankly at the score above, and an unprecedented sense of fear surged within him.

He turned his head, gazing at Bai Lixin in a daze. Bai Lixin still had that gentle smile, but Little Overlord felt an indescribable sense of pressure.

Little Overlord silently swallowed his saliva.

At this moment, the prompt from the system caught Little Overlord’s attention.

[Competitor Xuan Chishui, please quickly fire the third shot. You have delayed the time. If you do not shoot within ten seconds, it will be considered a waiver.]

[The countdown begins now. Ten, nine…]

The decreasing numbers echoed above everyone’s heads, creating pressure not only on Little Overlord but also squeezing the hearts of countless spectators.

Little Overlord gritted his teeth and quickly raised the air rifle, aiming at the 40-meter target that had become a small black dot.

The countdown had already reached five, but he was still thinking about Bai Lixin’s excellent score of nine rings.

At this moment, he couldn’t concentrate at all.

It was only when the countdown reached two that he finally found his target.

However, the target in front of him seemed to split into two blurry images, confusing him.

Just as the countdown reached zero, Little Overlord, who had already been thinking wildly, gritted his teeth and pulled the trigger.

Seven rings.

A total of twenty-three rings, not enough for the fifth level.

They had reached another match point.

But now the situation had completely reversed. Little Overlord no longer had the initiative; it was Bai Lixin who had taken control of the situation.

Little Overlord hid his trembling hands in his sleeves, and his beast-like gaze stared fixedly at Bai Lixin.

He even hoped that Bai Lixin would make a mistake.

“Bang!” Another gunshot ran out. Bai Lixin shot the third bullet under everyone’s watchful eyes.
