When he started shooting, Jiang Yan Hai put everything else out of his mind and focused his attention.

As expected, the Coffin Board Skill was still effective, and its speed was much faster than when Jiang Yan Hai first started using it. Unlike using a sniper scope, at a distance of 100 meters, external factors had very little impact on the bullet, but that didn't mean it was useless.

It was still useful because, after using it more, it felt more like Jiang Yan Hai's instinct. It could combine with Jiang Yan Hai's formidable Physical Fitness. When his body could instinctively cooperate with this skill, he might truly achieve the ability to hit any target at will without aiming.

"Bang," "Bang." Initially, Jiang Yan Hai fired single shots. The bullets didn't directly hit the center of the circular target but instead started to circle around the edges.

After all, he couldn't replace the targets, so he simply reused one target multiple times.

The crisp gunshots sounded continuously, and the bullets followed the outermost circle of the target, extending along the line.

With the skill's assistance, the bullet holes left by Jiang Yan Hai's shots barely deviated from that line, uniformly drawing circles.

Old Hei, watching this scene through binoculars, couldn't help but twitch his mouth a few times. Did this shooting technique still need practice?

Of course, this was only because Jiang Yan Hai had given him too much of a shock. After all, the shooting skills Jiang Yan Hai had displayed today were truly too monstrous.

Old Hei didn't interrupt Jiang Yan Hai's shooting. Gong Jian, far away, was also watching through binoculars. Upon seeing this, Gong Jian couldn't help but sigh. Was this truly the difference between a genius and an ordinary person?

The gap was a bit too large. Especially since Jiang Yan Hai hadn't practiced for very long. What level would his shooting skills reach once he was truly honed by live fire?

However, Gong Jian soon saw that he wouldn't have to wait for the future. After continuously firing single shots for two magazines, Jiang Yan Hai started to show off.

After outlining the outer few circles of the target with bullet holes, Jiang Yan Hai began to continuously aim at the center. After reloading another magazine, he directly started firing in automatic mode.

Most importantly, when he started firing automatically, he drew a straight line from the top of the target downwards. After crossing the target, his bullets continuously hit the vertical wooden posts below the target.

Fortunately, the target was fixed quite sturdily, but through the binoculars, Gong Jian could still see that under the continuous fire, the wooden posts below the target had been directly broken, and their height was constantly being reduced by the bullets.

This was… real-time muzzle control in practice!

Gong Jian was somewhat amazed in his heart because this required strong control over the firearm and also formidable Physical Fitness. The recoil of a firearm was no joke.

"Jiang Yan Hai."

After Jiang Yan Hai finished firing one magazine, Gong Jian called out loudly.

"Here!" Jiang Yan Hai immediately stood up and responded sharply.

"Come over here and shoot the targets on the bulletproof wall," Gong Jian beckoned to Jiang Yan Hai.

Jiang Yan Hai had no objections and simply went over. Behind the targets at the shooting range, there were always bulletproof walls. After all, bullets could fly quite far after penetrating these targets, and one never knew if an accident might happen.

The shooting range they were at was for automatic rifle training, with targets at 50 meters, 100 meters, and 200 meters. The furthest was 200 meters, and the bulletproof wall was about 300 meters away.

Although the effective range of the Type 95 rifle was 400 meters, it was rare to train shooting at 400 meters during regular target practice. At the extreme effective range, it was very difficult for many ordinary soldiers to hit the target.

Especially when using iron sights instead of optical sights, anyone with common sense knew that at 400 meters, a person would appear no larger than a thumb. Being able to hit the target at this distance with iron sights was already considered formidable shooting.

At this moment, giving Jiang Yan Hai a shooting distance of 300 meters was sufficient. Because any further, and it would be outside the effective range of an automatic rifle. Of course, there were no absolutes. As long as you had the skill, you could hit an 800-meter target with an automatic rifle.

Reaching the position indicated by Gong Jian, Jiang Yan Hai directly aimed at the target on the bulletproof wall in the distance. The crudely painted circular targets on the bulletproof wall were relatively large, mainly with many rings, and the red dot in the center was also very small.

At this distance, he didn't mess around with anything else. He simply aimed and squeezed the trigger directly at the center. Gong Jian, not far from Jiang Yan Hai, picked up his binoculars.

With the first shot, "Bang," Gong Jian could see the bullet directly hit the center of the target in the distance. Because it was an outdoor range, the bulletproof wall was simple, made of sand and concrete. The bullets could directly penetrate the soil.

Then, in Gong Jian's line of sight, he saw the second bullet also heading directly for that center point.

Jiang Yan Hai wasn't paying attention to anything else at this moment because he realized that this skill seemed to enhance his vision. Without activating the skill, at a distance of 300 meters, his vision was at a normal person's standard. But after activating it, at 300 meters, he could see much clearer than a normal person!

One by one, the bullets accurately entered the red dot of the target. The entire magazine's worth of bullets was fired without any misses. For such a fixed target, with the assistance of the Coffin Board Skill, it posed almost no challenge to him.

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Yan Hai looked to the side. Next to them was the long-range target area for sniper training, which had targets at 600 meters.

After thinking about it, Jiang Yan Hai wanted to try the 600-meter target. Theoretically, it was almost impossible for an ordinary person's naked eye to hit a 600-meter target, especially when using an automatic rifle instead of a high-precision sniper rifle.

But the Coffin Board Skill had given Jiang Yan Hai an illusion, as if this skill had some functions that he hadn't yet discovered?

"Report," Jiang Yan Hai said.

"Speak," Gong Jian lowered his binoculars and looked at Jiang Yan Hai.

"Instructor, can I try shooting at that 600-meter target?" Jiang Yan Hai pointed to the sniper range next to them.

Gong Jian: "..."

Gong Jian really wanted to say no, or rather, he really wanted to say, can you stop being so arrogant? Can you practice something more practical?

But he ultimately didn't say those words, mainly because the abilities Jiang Yan Hai had shown before were too miraculous.

"Go ahead, what are you embarrassed about? If you want to try, just come," Gong Jian said directly, since there was no one else over there.

"Yes, thank you, instructor." Jiang Yan Hai immediately grinned twice and turned to aim at the 600-meter target over there.
