Super God: One Punch and You're Dead

He smiled.

"Two days from now will be the day you officially join Super Seminary, and there'll be a test that day. It covers physical fitness, close-quarters combat, personal skills, and Super Gene testing."

"The main purpose of this test is to assess your overall strength and determine your role. For example, you might be trained as a super sniper."

"I want you to take first place in the test."

"Huh?"

Qi Lin froze slightly, thinking she had misheard him.

On the way to Super Seminary, that chatterbox Ge Xiaolun had talked her ear off. She was the last member to join Super Seminary, and every one of the others seemed incredibly capable.

The Solar Star's ruling deity, Lena, Sun's Radiance.

Space-Time Qiangwei, who possessed space-time genes and powerful space-time abilities.

Nuoxing God of War Liu Chuang.

Zhao Xin, swift as lightning.

Cheng Yaowen, Son of the Earth.

Even that dumbass was Ge Xiaolun, Galaxy Power.

"Can... can I do it?"

It was the first time Qi Lin had shown such a lack of confidence.

However, after seeing Lin Yan's smile, she patted her chest and said, "I'm not the Qi Lin I used to be. I have a little brother now."

For her little brother, she had to become stronger too.

At the very least, she could not be utterly crushed when facing someone overwhelmingly powerful. Like Lian Feng today—Qi Lin had felt somewhat guilty that she had not been able to protect Lin Yan properly.

A fifteen-year-old boy should never have been dragged into such a complicated world in the first place.

"Sis, are you good with a gun?"

"Of course."

Qi Lin revealed a confident smile.

Even with only the Shenhe Generation 1 Gene, her brain's processing power far surpassed that of ordinary people. Combined with Qi Lin's diligence and drive, her marksmanship had always been excellent. In the police force, Qi Lin was absolutely the finest among the police beauties. Her outstanding looks and hardworking nature had always drawn attention.

"Let me ask you something. What determines the strength of an individual's combat ability?"

Lin Yan asked.

Before Qi Lin could answer, Lin Yan answered his own question.

"In the pre-nuclear era, there were two main factors: weapons and physical fitness."

"In the pre-nuclear era, individual weapons were mainly conventional firearms—rocket launchers, anti-tank grenades, sniper rifles, and so on. That was because no one could withstand attacks from such weapons. Even steel like that of a tank could be blown apart."

"But now..."

"Everything is completely different. Conventional weapons can't even kill a Third Generation Super Soldier."

"We still place importance on weapons now, but weapons are no longer what they used to be. The other factor is genes."

Lin Yan explained patiently.

Qi Lin nodded.

Ever since the aliens had invaded Earth, her worldview had been completely overturned.

Those invaders were far stronger physically than frail humans on Earth, and conventional weapons had become severely limited in their lethality against them.

That was why Brave Soldier Company existed.

Lin Yan continued.

"There are Flame-class Weapons and God-Slaying Weapons."

"And genes are divided into Third Generation Super Soldiers and Fourth Generation Divine Bodies."

Lin Yan gave a simple explanation. In truth, once Qi Lin entered Super Seminary, this would all be basic knowledge. They would also learn other skills, such as Micro Wormhole Transport Technology.

Qi Lin did not know much about genes.

But when weapons were mentioned, the look in her eyes changed.

She said with a smile, "I still prefer sniper rifles."

With a thought from Lin Yan, the system's voice rang out.

[Please exchange for the weapon you require.]

[Weapon settings may be freely customized.]

Lin Yan knew quite a bit about weapons, especially all kinds of firearms. What he sketched out with his thoughts was not merely the outline of a gun, but its internal structure as well, including its ammunition and power settings.

All parameters were generated automatically.

Slowly.

The outline of a sleek, elegant sniper rifle gradually emerged, its entire body obsidian black, before slowly taking solid form.

"This is... truly unbelievable!"

Creating something from nothing left Qi Lin astonished, but her shock was quickly replaced by an excited flush.

So amazing!

Not even sci-fi movies were this thrilling.

Qi Lin had always possessed an innate fondness for sniper rifles. Her voice seemed to tremble slightly. "Th-this... is this for me?"

Lin Yan, however, was not entirely satisfied. This was a Flame-class Sniper Rifle, not a God-Slaying Weapon.

"What is this sniper rifle called?" Qi Lin asked excitedly.

"Heaven's Punishment."
