Sniper Showdown! Shou Yue VS Guang Ling!

Qing Luan Douluo spread his wings and transformed into a streak of azure light,

shooting toward the heavens at astonishing speed, straight for the distant target.

Just as everyone wondered which flying powerhouse King's Hall would send out,

Zhuang Zhou, who had been lazily reclining atop Kun Peng, did not even open his eyes. He merely gave the dreamlike beast beneath him a light pat.

"Buzz—!"

An enigmatic spatial ripple spread outward. The moderately sized Kun Peng beneath him

began to swell wildly before everyone's horrified eyes, growing at a visible rate!

In the blink of an eye, its body had become vast enough to blot out the sky and cover the sun,

and the shadow it cast nearly enveloped half the canyon. Truly, the Kun was so vast that none knew how many thousand miles it spanned!

"I shall roam free~"

Zhuang Zhou's lazy voice seemed to drift down from the heavens as the enormous Kun Peng lightly swished its tail.

Bearing him along, it moved at a strange speed that seemed slow, yet crossed a thousand miles in an instant,

leisurely "swimming" toward the target, as if it were not flying at all, but drifting through an invisible sea of stars!

This sight left every Soul Master present dumbfounded and deeply shaken!

"Th-this... what kind of Martial Soul is that? It can actually become so enormous!"

"King's Hall... truly is unfathomable!"

Soon, both sides' observers took their positions, and the contest officially began.

As agreed, Guang Ling Douluo, the one who had proposed the contest, would shoot first.

A cold, confident curve hung at the corner of his lips as he elegantly raised the Guang Ling Divine Bow.

With a thought, an Ice Crystal Arrow formed instantly upon the bowstring, condensed from Ice Attribute Soul Power, crystal-clear throughout and wreathed in biting frost!

"Whoosh—!"

The bowstring trembled with a crisp hum.

The Ice Crystal Arrow became a thin blue line nearly impossible to follow with the naked eye, ignoring the barriers of space as it instantly crossed the extreme distance of several mountain peaks!

The arena's Light Screen clearly displayed the scene at the target.

That Ice Crystal Arrow had been nailed with flawless precision into the crimson bullseye at the very center of the circular target. Its fletching still trembled faintly, releasing wisps of cold mist!

Ten Rings! Perfect!

"Beautiful!" Qian Jun Douluo could not help pumping his fist as he shouted.

Even Bone Douluo Gu Rong, seated in the VIP room, wore a grave expression as he said in a low voice:

"Worthy of a Peak Douluo! At such a distance, ordinary Soul Skills would likely run out of power and dissipate before reaching it,"

"yet he did not even use any enhancement-type Soul Skills. With only the most basic Soul Power condensation and archery, he achieved such precision. Terrifying!"

The entire venue drew sharp breaths, all conquered by Guang Ling Douluo's seemingly effortless yet incomparably precise shot.

Guang Ling Douluo slowly lowered his divine bow, undisguised pride written across his face,

and cast a provocative look at the ever-calm Bai Li Shou Yue across from him, as if saying: See that? This is true archery!

Bai Li Shou Yue's gaze did not ripple in the slightest. He merely adjusted his stance with the gun slightly,

his crimson Wolf Eyes already locked through the high-powered scope onto that tiny red dot in the distance.

"My turn."

Below the arena, the lively Bai Li Xuan Ce waved the Flying Sickle in his hand and loudly cheered for his brother:

"Go, Brother! Take him down!"

Bai Li Shou Yue held his breath and focused. His entire presence seemed to merge with the surrounding environment, sinking into utter stillness.

He steadily supported the strangely shaped Sniper Rifle, his slender finger resting on the trigger.

There was no dazzling Soul Power glow, no intimidating aura—only a dull gunshot that carried astonishing penetration!

"Bang!"

A faint muzzle flash erupted from the Sniper Rifle as a sniper bullet tore through the air at a speed beyond sound,

following a perfect ballistic trajectory and reaching the target in an instant!

The image on the Light Screen rapidly zoomed in and enlarged!

Only then did everyone see that the specially made bullet fired by Bai Li Shou Yue had not only struck the bullseye with pinpoint accuracy,

but its terrifying penetrating force and exquisite trajectory had also precisely split Guang Ling Douluo's Ice Crystal Arrow, which was embedded in the bullseye, from its tail into four neat pieces!

And amid the shattered ice crystal, a clear circular bullet mark had been stamped right at the center of the bullseye!

Also Ten Rings!

And he had hit the absolute center after destroying the previous arrow!

Falling Devil Douluo's pupils contracted as he blurted out:

"This... he didn't just hit it, he even split Guang Ling's arrow... How is that possible?!"

The smug smile on Guang Ling Douluo's face instantly froze, replaced by incredulous fury:

"How is that possible?! He's merely a Soul Douluo! How could he possess such precision and control?!"

His prideful shot had actually been crushed in such a manner!

Qian Daoliu, who had been calmly watching, finally turned completely grave as well.

He realized that Bai Li Shou Yue, who appeared to be of no great rank, had attainments in shooting that likely far exceeded all common sense. He absolutely could not be regarded as an ordinary Soul Douluo.

Overwhelming humiliation and unwillingness surged through Guang Ling Douluo. He abruptly pointed into the distance, his voice carrying a trace of exasperated rage:

"The distance! It isn't far enough! Move the target farther away! Farther! I don't believe he can still hit it!"

Lin Jiang still wore that composed smile, as though he had expected this all along:

"Fine! Since Guang Ling feels the distance is not satisfying enough, we shall do as you say. What harm is there in moving it farther?"

As his words fell, he did not even need to make any extra movement. With merely a slight shift of thought, his vast, ocean-like Soul Power surged out across the distance.

Atop a distant mountain peak, that enormous Yellow Cube structure seemed to be pushed by an invisible giant hand as it began sliding backward at an astonishing speed!

In an instant, it crossed several more mountain peaks and stopped at a distant location that had nearly vanished beyond the limits of the powerhouses' sight!

Lin Jiang stood with his hands behind his back and asked loudly:

"What do you think of this distance, Guang Ling?"

At this moment, even Guang Ling Douluo, using his immensely powerful spiritual perception honed through countless trials, could only barely sense the target's location!

Guang Ling Douluo's face alternated between pale and green as he felt unprecedented pressure. Yet there was no way back now. He could only grit his teeth and force out two words:

"...Fine!"

"The second round begins!" Si Kong Zhen's voice boomed like thunderous war drums, sounding the bell for a new round of confrontation.

Guang Ling Douluo no longer dared to be the slightest bit careless. His Third Soul Ring suddenly lit up as icy Soul Power poured frantically into the Guang Ling Divine Bow!

"Third Soul Skill! High Explosive Pierce!"

An arrow far more solid than before instantly formed, its entire body wrapped in spiraling air currents and its tip gleaming with destructive icy light!

The bow drew full like a crescent moon, and the arrow flew like a shooting star!

This arrow contained the amplification of his powerful Soul Skill. It tore through the sky with a piercing howl, shooting toward the distant target that he could barely even sense!

For the sake of victory, this Peak Douluo had actually been the first to use a Soul Skill against a Soul Douluo!

That tiny shred of pride had already been cast aside in the face of absolute victory or defeat.

"Boom!"
