"Holy crap..."

Xiao Xiao had absolutely no idea that the bullet had pierced through the floor-to-ceiling window.

But when the bullet pierced through the French windows and began hurtling toward his forehead at a terrifying speed, Xiao Xiao instantly sensed it. Every hair on his body stood on end, and he felt as if he were being electrocuted. The Extreme Sensitivity brought by his Insight ability allowed him to realize something was wrong through the tiny movement of the window being pierced. Instantly, his ability to Mind Burst was activated.

At that moment, he didn't even look up, seemingly unaware of the approaching bullet.

But that was precisely because he instantly entered a state of extreme tension.

When one's thoughts reach their peak, one dares not make the slightest unnecessary movement, including the subconscious reaction of looking up.

Countless thoughts flooded my mind instantly, the first one being:

"You Little Four of a bitch..."

"Is that a live bullet?"

"..."

For Xiao Xiao at this moment, time seemed to stand still.

Without even looking, I knew that a bullet was rapidly approaching, leaving spiraling ripples in the air.

How to do it?

No matter how you get up, dodge left or right, or try to grab something to block the bullets, it's too late.

Even if the body has been enhanced by the second stage of Violence Factor, and the explosive power is extraordinary, it is still absolutely unable to withstand bullets.

At best, it can only cause the bullet to miss slightly.

In a flash, he made a risky decision.

He kept his grip on the phone still to avoid disrupting the natural flow of his movements. He had to ensure that every movement, every nerve and muscle in his body, was fully utilized, making the final gesture with absolute effort...

He leaned back slightly, resting against the sofa back.

In this movement, the waist, abdomen, and torso all utilize the power of Violence Factor.

However, because the movement was too small and too smooth, no trace of explosive power could be seen.

To outsiders, Xiao Xiao appeared calm and unhurried, leaning back slightly.

The sniper bullet grazed his face seven or eight centimeters away and punched a hole in the wall behind him.

"Laugh..."

The gust of wind from the bullet scraped my face painfully.

"You dodged it..."

Xiao Xiao felt a wave of relief, almost collapsing from exhaustion, but he didn't have time to celebrate his narrow escape and sat up straight again.

His expression turned cold as he looked toward where the bullets had come from.

Damn it, Little Four, I'm not done with you yet...

"Holy crap..."

Across from the floor-to-ceiling window, two buildings away, Little Four, who was lying on the roof with a sniper rifle in his hand, was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.

He saw an unbelievable scene through the scope of his sniper rifle.

His shot had shattered the French window and was almost hitting Xiao Xiao's head, yet the other party remained completely unfazed.

They didn't even have time to look up.

He simply leaned back slightly, and his bullet missed its mark...

He didn't even put his phone down, and throughout the entire process, he kept his legs crossed...

Suddenly jolted, Little Four instinctively reached for a follow-up shot.

For other snipers, if the first shot fails, it's difficult to find an opportunity to fire a second shot, because the target has become alert and begins to move quickly, and because at this point, they no longer have a chance to calmly aim and correct the bullet trajectory.

But Hunter are different.

Their instincts for tracking prey and their grasp of spatial awareness allow them to quickly seize the opportunity to fire a second shot.

However, just as Little Four thought of this, he saw through the scope that Xiao Xiao leaned back slightly to dodge the fatal bullet, then sat up straight again, looking at him with cold eyes and a faint smile on his face.

There was no real smile; it was purely Little Four's illusion.

But Little Four was startled by that smile and immediately abandoned the idea of finishing off the enemy.

He can dodge bullets even when he's caught off guard, let alone when he's prepared.

He even looked in his direction immediately; who knows when he realized where he was?

Withdraw!

Little Four instantly picked up the sniper rifle and jumped off the roof with a "whoosh".

Yang Jia said that we should do our best during the training. Although she also assured that Brother Xiao would not get angry, and even Brother Xiao himself said that he would not get angry, what if he really gets angry and suddenly rushes over and dances in front of us?

You must also be alert and adhere to the principles of a Hunter.

Is he still there?

"Will this kid fire a second shot?"

"..."

Xiao Xiao remained tense, his mind racing.

He couldn't see where Little Four was, but could only judge his approximate location by the direction the bullet had come from. Although he was on the Insight route, his own field of vision, as well as the field of vision provided by the three eyes, did not allow him to see too far.

He didn't dare to get up, fearing that the action would give Little Four an opportunity to shoot him again.

Although I have the ability to Mind Burst, there are too many times when I don't have time to react.

For example, if you encounter danger while you are jumping, you will not even have the ability to dodge.

Because you're in the air, you have nowhere to put leverage if you want to turn your body.

But after waiting for a long, long time, they found that outside the broken window, there was only silence and the cold wind blowing in.

"That kid left?"

Xiao Xiao finally felt relieved, but remained vigilant as he walked to a partitioned area, still feeling lingering fear.

Is this the training that Yang Jia arranged for himself?

Isn't that too risky?

Another point is that he suddenly realized more about his own abilities.

Fortunately, I didn't choose the path of the Strong Soul at that time. Although I have the ability to Mind Burst, my reaction is still that of an ordinary person. Here, reaction specifically refers to my ability to capture crisis information. No matter how fast my mind is, I need to know that a crisis is coming and what the crisis looks like in order to effectively control my body and make the most effective and reasonable response.

If one were a powerful being, this unexpected bullet would have instantly taken one's life.

Even just now, if it weren't for the sound of that glass shattering, would I have already been finished?

Damn, so I'm actually this weak?

This shot was like a bucket of cold water, instantly waking Xiao Xiao, who had gained some confidence in his abilities.

I really am just a newbie...

... I'm still a very, very long way from being able to show off!

He stood in a partitioned area, then stretched his stiff body slightly before immediately calling Yang Jia.

This training session was too much...

But just then, his phone rang. Xiao Xiao looked at the number and immediately felt a surge of anger:

"You..."

"Brother Xiao, you're really not angry, are you?"

"..."

Hearing Little Four's timid voice on the phone, Xiao Xiao couldn't vent his anger and just snorted.

"Your aim is pretty good..."

"Ah?"

Little Four was clearly surprised. "You noticed that I raised the muzzle of the gun by two centimeters?"

"?"

Xiao Xiao was immediately taken aback.

"Sorry, sorry, Brother Xiao..."

Little Four quickly said, "Although Boss Yang told me to get serious, I really don't dare. What if you hold a grudge against me?"

"... After all, you don't seem like a very generous person..."

"So I raised the muzzle of my gun slightly."

"Even if you can't dodge it, this bullet will at most plow a furrow in your hair..."

"There might even be a slight concussion..."

"But it's okay, we can cure it..."

"But Brother Xiao, you're too good. I admit I was overthinking it. I'll definitely aim better next time..."

"..."

Xiao Xiao was completely confused. What, do I have to thank you?

But you could tell that Little Four was really terrified. He didn't even know what to say. Besides, he shouldn't have told Little Four these things; he should have told Yang Jia. So he hung up the phone impatiently and quickly went downstairs.

The situation is not good; let's leave here first.

However, just as I went downstairs, through the crowd, and was about to leave the bar, I suddenly felt a chill.

Amidst the chaotic music in the bar, he strangely felt a tremor and vaguely heard some kind of sound outside.

It was the unusual sound of the engine of some kind of modified motorcycle.

Xiao Xiao immediately steadied himself, pondered for two seconds, and suddenly waved to call over a waiter beside him:

"Tell security that our bar does not accept minors."

"..."

After saying that, ignoring the still bewildered waiter, he quickly walked through the crowd toward the back door.

Sure enough, after walking a few steps, the split eyes saw Ruan Ruan, carrying a small backpack, walking excitedly in from the main entrance.

Despite the large number of people in the bar, she spotted Xiao Xiao at a glance.

She immediately jumped up in surprise, waving her hands high in the crowd. "Xiao-gege, you're really here..."

Xiao Xiao stiffened slightly, and his forward movement slowed down a bit.

But the next moment, he saw Ruan Ruan, who was smiling sweetly, suddenly reach into her backpack and pull out two huge metal wrenches.

With a sinister grin, it charged forward with its short legs.

"Damn it..."

Xiao Xiao's three eyes, which were floating in mid-air, shrank back. Without turning his head, he immediately quickened his pace.

"Hey, kids aren't allowed in here..."

The security guards on both sides, not understanding what was going on, reached out to stop the reckless girl.

"Get out of the way, I'm one of us..."

Ruan Ruan was afraid of hurting these fragile indigenous people, so she could only slow down her charge and speak loudly.

"What do you mean, 'our own people'?"

The security guard shouted, "We have limits to how we do business..."

"I..."

Ruan Ruan was both anxious and angry. Ruan Ruan, she turned on him and pushed outward with her two chubby little arms. The two strong men, who weighed at least 100 kilograms, were pushed and stumbled and fell to the ground. However, the surrounding shop assistants and security guards rushed over when they saw this.

"Want to fight?"

Ruan Ruan also got anxious and immediately got into a fighting stance.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Xiao Xiao quickly left through the back door.

Thinking to myself, "I wonder how ruthless Ruan Ruan Ruan. I'll have to give these security guards a raise later..."
