"This bullet paired with this gun..."
Before Lena could finish, she pressed a hand to her forehead.
A gun had suddenly materialized beside Qi Lin—a pitch-black rifle. Both its structure and the aura it exuded were striking.
This was a Flame-class Sniper Rifle.
The sniper rifle the Brave Soldier Company had issued to Qi Lin was something demons also had the technology for, hardly rare. Compared to this Flame-class Sniper Rifle, it was like a minor sorcerer before a great wizard—utterly outclassed.
The atmosphere grew tense.
Lena was secretly fuming. When the military had handed over the equipment, they'd praised it to the heavens, claiming it was an incredibly powerful weapon, a one-of-a-kind sniper rifle on Earth.
And now?
Embarrassing!
Truly embarrassing!
She, the Goddess Lena, had lost face!!
Still, Lena maintained her composure on the surface and continued, "Ahem, not bad. All of you should learn from Qi Lin. Look at her dedication."
She turned to Qi Lin.
"A sniper rifle and bullets alone aren't enough. Take this."
A tactical helmet appeared in Lena's hand. "This is a very powerful helmet. Through it, you'll get a massive computational boost to your sniping ability."
Qi Lin put on the helmet, and her field of vision filled with information.
Her previously constrained sight instantly expanded.
Her sniping skills were already solid, and this was the icing on the cake—no, a leap forward.
Still, Qi Lin remembered Lin Yan saying that in a few days, she'd undergo some kind of "Thousand-Mile Eye" training. It was probably preparation for her ultra-long-range combat.
If she could truly see a thousand miles away, she could slay gods and demons, unstoppable.
Lena lifted her chin.
"Qi Lin, show everyone what you've got."
0028 Divine Sniper (Please Favorite)
"The test should be down to the last person."
On the tree-shaded path of the academy, sunlight dappled the ground. MISS walked shoulder to shoulder with Lin Yan, a bright smile on her face—radiant with satisfaction.
"Mm."
Lin Yan's voice was cold.
His world seemed impenetrable to anyone else, his heart beyond the garden walls, laughing alone at the spring breeze.
"Commander Dukao contacted me yesterday."
MISS changed the subject.
"Have you met Lian Feng yet?"
Seeing Lin Yan nod, she continued, "That woman Lian Feng is very mysterious. She's said to have come from the Deno Civilization with Commander Dukao, but her specific background is only what she claims—'an engineer of the Denuo Star System, responsible for researching the Deno Super Gene project.' As for her true background, no one knows... maybe it's beyond my clearance."
The implication was clear.
MISS hinted that Lian Feng had deep connections.
She also warned that Lian Feng had taken notice of Lin Yan, telling him to be careful.
Lin Yan didn't really care about MISS, or rather, he didn't care about anyone except Qi Lin.
When he was down and out, no one had reached out a hand—but Qi Lin had.
Still, he appreciated MISS's warning.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome. Although our Super Seminary is under military jurisdiction, I won't allow the military to harm a single student or their family."
MISS's eyes were full of warmth, but her tone was firm.
Lin Yan hadn't planned on hiding under Super Seminary's protection, but in an emergency, using it as a shield wasn't out of the question.
Use everything to its fullest.
As repayment, when Super Seminary faced a crisis, he would lend a hand.
A single finger's worth of strength would be enough.
"Their test should be over by now."
Lin Yan looked toward the distant sky.
In the far-off sky, it seemed as if something had pierced through—a hollow tunnel of white clouds appeared in his vision. Who else could have done that but Qi Lin?
"Look! That's Qi Lin. Liu Chuang, aren't you the Nuoxing God of War? Can you pull off something like that?"
Ge Xiaolun's eyes went wide.
He gazed into the distance at the sky.
It was like watching a scene more thrilling than a sci-fi movie.
If the enemy's Gluttonous Legion sent those messy flying vehicles to cause trouble again, wouldn't it be awesome if Qi Lin could take one out with each shot?
"That's gotta... probably not..." Liu Chuang tried to act cool, but then awkwardly scratched his head.
"Qi Lin, you're our future godly sniper!"
With a solemn expression, Du Qiangwei also gave high praise.
Earlier, Qi Lin's idea of firing a shot into the sky was considered crazy, but now everyone probably had sore faces from the slap—this was what strength looked like.
Qiangwei didn't know the exact power of that shot, but the range for long-distance combat seemed to have stretched quite a bit, though it still needed testing in battle.
Everyone felt they had grown significantly stronger during this time.
