Master Duel!

A battle between experts!

Both men had chosen flat ground, each using a boulder as cover. They were only a dozen or so meters apart.

Xiao Hai clearly had the better position. He was in a forest, with large trees and bushes providing cover.

Jiang Siming, on the other hand, was in an open area with only that one boulder. Everywhere else was completely exposed.

But there was no such thing as absolute fairness in this game. This was already a balanced setup.

Neither side made a move for the moment.

Both stream rooms fell deathly silent, and even the barrage had thinned considerably.

The viewers watched the showdown tensely, too nervous to spare any attention for sending messages.

At last, Xiao Hai made the first move. He fired rapidly at both corners of the boulder Jiang Siming was hiding behind, trying to bait him into showing himself.

Jiang Siming did not sweep his aim toward Xiao Hai's head. A head flashed out from beside the rock, then quickly withdrew.

In that instant, Jiang Siming had already fired a shot from his Kar98k.

A quick-scope!

Another quick-scope!

But would it hit this time?

The answer was yes!

The sound of a bullet tearing into flesh rang out from Xiao Hai's body.

Fortunately, it had not hit his head. Instead, it struck the Level 3 Armor on his shoulder.

Although he had only lost a small sliver of health, it was enough to make Xiao Hai's heart race!

"How are you that accurate?" Xiao Hai exclaimed as he ducked back and healed.

At the computer desk on the other side, Little Lion did not answer him. He merely stared at the screen without blinking.

His screen was showing Jiang Siming's live stream—in other words, Jiang Siming's first-person view.

Even he could not understand how Jiang Siming had managed that quick-scope.

"Does this guy not need to aim?" The other OMG team members, who had long since been drawn over, crowded around Little Lion's computer.

No one was watching Xiao Hai's perspective. Xiao Hai felt like crying. Why is no one watching me?

After observing for a long while, Little Lion finally spoke.

"Look at the hand holding his mouse in the camera. He's a typical arm aimer. He uses his arm's sense of position to pre-aim without opening his scope. Wherever his arm points, that's where the muzzle is!"

"Arm aiming isn't that uncommon. I'm an arm aimer too, but I absolutely can't reach that level of precision." OMG spoke up with a laugh.

"That is exactly what makes him incredible. No one can learn this. You could call it talent. Even North America's G Shen and Grimmmz don't have such an exaggerated quick-scope level." Little Lion spoke with complete certainty, because he had played against all of them!

"Then Xiao Hai's screwed." The team members laughed maliciously, taking delight in his misfortune.

Hearing that, Xiao Hai snorted and said, "I can't lose. I refuse to believe his sniping is really that strong! My sniping isn't for show either!"

With his health restored, Xiao Hai picked up his M24, leaned his head out from the side of the cover, and began pre-aiming at Jiang Siming.

But Jiang Siming was using quick-scopes while you were relying on pre-aiming. No matter how fast your pre-aim reaction was, could it really be faster than someone who did not even need to open his scope?

Quick-scopes were simply unreasonable. No scope, one peek, one shot, then back into cover.

Little Lion had already drawn a conclusion about Xiao Hai's "impulse." Even Wei Shen had been helpless against Jiang Siming's quick-scopes. This was the perfect example.

Sure enough, Jiang Siming flashed out again. Xiao Hai was just about to fire when he realized that his opponent had already moved a step faster.

Bang!

The instant the gunshot rang out, the bullet had already arrived!

A bullet was now embedded squarely in Xiao Hai's Level 3 Helmet.

Fortunately, it was a Level 3 Helmet. Otherwise, he would already have been dead.

After retreating into cover, Xiao Hai felt a chill in his heart. He no longer had any intention of trading sniper shots with Jiang Siming.

After restoring his health once more, Xiao Hai had gotten smarter. He began hurling smoke grenades toward Jiang Siming's position.

The smoke completely blocked Jiang Siming's view. Xiao Hai switched to his assault rifle, left his cover, and charged toward his opponent.

If I can't beat you with a sniper rifle, surely I won't lose to you with an assault rifle!

Xiao Hai's fighting spirit returned. As the team's second assault player, he had absolute confidence in his close-range rifle skills.

The moment he saw the smoke grenades sealing off his surroundings, Jiang Siming instantly understood what Xiao Hai intended.

"You want to fight me up close? Then I'll give you what you want."

Jiang Siming's viewers began to worry for him.

"Don't, Ming Shen! Xiao Hai is incredibly strong up close. Don't fight him!"

"This is bad. You definitely can't beat him in close combat!"

"He's a member of the world champion team, a top-tier assault player in the world. Ming Shen is in danger!"

"Ming Shen, don't fight him up close!"

Jiang Siming did not see the viewers' warnings. Even if he had, he would not have listened.

A faint sound of footsteps rang in Jiang Siming's ears, signaling that his opponent had reached his vicinity.

But smoke grenades filled the area around him. He had no way to determine Xiao Hai's exact position, only a rough direction.

His opponent crept closer and closer. The two were about to meet.

The viewers' nerves were stretched to their breaking point.

At that moment, all the smoke dissipated, and both men saw each other at the same time!

They opened fire!

Xiao Hai was the first to aim down his sights. The muzzle of his M416 was trained precisely on Jiang Siming, its flames spitting like a reaper's deadly scythe.

Jiang Siming, by contrast, seemed to have gone stupid. He had not fired a single shot!

The viewers' hearts sank. Even Little Lion felt that Xiao Hai had successfully turned the tables.

"Is this guy's mental fortitude really that poor? Did he even forget to shoot?" OMG's Smiling voice held a hint of mockery.

If that was really the case, then perhaps their team did not need a player like him after all. Being good at sniping was useless if you had poor mental fortitude.

In professional matches, no one would foolishly stand and trade shots with you forever. Once they knew you were accurate with a sniper rifle, they absolutely would not expose themselves at long range. They would only fight you at close range.

Only Little Lion noticed something was wrong. He cried out, "No! He's moving! His positioning!"

On screen, facing the incoming bullets, Jiang Siming suddenly sidestepped and dropped into a crouch!

Then he moved half a body-width to the right. It looked like a pointless, sleepwalking maneuver.

Yet it dodged every single one of Xiao Hai's bullets!

Xiao Hai's face went pale as he hurriedly tried to pull his aim back onto target, but at that moment, several AK shots rang out from the other side.

Pff, pff, pff!

Three AK bullets struck Xiao Hai in the head. He collapsed completely, becoming a cold corpse.

Xiao Hai stood frozen in place, staring at the screen with a blank look.

Winner winner, chicken dinner! 35 kills!

This message appeared on Jiang Siming's computer screen.

The Live Stream Room erupted instantly. Gifts showered down from the viewers like snowflakes!
