A Walk in the Park
Li Nanfei is eliminated!
Zhang Wanli is eliminated!
Zhou Dian is eliminated!
"Henggeer is eliminated!"
The Wan Binh Provincial Youth Challenge is not very entertaining.
For a marksman, the most dominant and overwhelming victory is a headshot in the shortest time.
Even though Zhang Xuezhou had prepared for close combat, he didn't expect that these people couldn't even dodge a casual shot from him.
His marksmanship was fast and excellent, not only suppressing close-combat players, but also those skilled in archery and marksmanship. The locking ability brought by his Law Power allowed Zhang Xuezhou to easily blind-fire.
"Damn it, does this Xuezhou really not have the surname Song?"
On the podium, Zhao Tianhua went from being composed to cursing and swearing, looking around the venue with an unfriendly expression.
He had watched all the live streams and knew that Song Bu'er was lurking somewhere.
Zhao Tianhua couldn't believe that his Sixth Sequence strength would be sniped by Song Bu'er with a single shot, but Zhang Xuezhou seemed too relaxed and casual, his shooting from horseback was both fast and steady.
If this Xuezhou's surname is Song, Zhao Tianhua feels he must reassess Song Bu'er's sniping abilities.
Even if Song Bu'er's spear skills were superior to Zhang Xuezhou Zhang Xuezhou's, Zhao Tianhua felt that things would be extremely difficult.
Sniping always emphasizes stealth and aiming. He had never seen Zhang Xuezhou handle a gun like this before. He could raise his hand and fire as soon as he glanced at the opponent, who was more than 200 meters away.
Even if a player sways their body from side to side, it only causes the opponent's first shot to miss, while the second shot will definitely hit.
For those in the third and Fourth Sequence, while dodging bullets isn't a sure thing, they can certainly avoid most of the shots.
With his accurate shooting and flawless predictions, Zhang Xuezhou made many opponents look like prey, waiting to be easily dealt with.
He glared at Wang Haoran with a fierce look, which made Wang Haoran chuckle.
"What, getting angry because you can't handle losing?" Wang Haoran said.
"That son of a bitch is a sore loser. A shooter like him shouldn't be in this kind of competition. How are the other players supposed to compete?" Zhao Tianhua cursed.
"It complies with procedures, regulations, and the age requirement; we are not afraid of any investigation," Wang Haoran said.
"What gene does this Zhang Xuezhou? What sequence is he in?" Zhao Tianhua asked.
"After all these years of working with genetic technology, you can't possibly not even be able to tell what his genes are, can you?" Wang Haoran laughed.
"Judging from General Zhao's judgment, Wanping Province's gene technology is somewhat outdated," Qin Wenhan said. "If it continues to stand on its own and doesn't embrace Western Capital City, in a few decades it will likely be nothing but a mess!"
"You..."
Zhao Tianhua stood up in anger.
When he was sitting, he was no different in height from Wang Haoran and the others when they were standing. But when he stood up, the pale yellow lines on his face appeared, and an oppressive aura immediately surged towards Wang Haoran, Qin Wenhan and the others.
"If you can hold on for another twenty years, you'll see countless Zhang Xuezhou appear, and you'll also find hundreds or even thousands of people whose strength is similar to or even surpasses yours," Qin Wenhan retorted without backing down. "We've already shown goodwill. If you don't seize this opportunity, don't blame yourself for being poor when the policy of developing the Great Northwest takes effect."
"What policy is there to develop the Northwest?" Zhao Tianhua gritted his teeth and said, "Your Western Capital City wants to wipe out our Wanping Province?"
"Cooperation leads to mutual benefit, while self-interest inevitably leads to regression; this is an inevitable truth," Wang Haoran said. "It's not that Western Capital City wants to do anything, but rather that once the Sequence Holder become powerful, they will inevitably expand in all directions, just like the Luofu Dynasty's conquests in all directions. The changes of the times cannot be stopped!"
Zhang Xuezhou's performance was completely unlike that of the younger generation.
This overwhelming elimination of contestants is practically a formality in the youth challenge.
Moreover, the opponent was indeed very skilled at riding a horse; even if the opponent mounted their horse and shot or fired arrows, they could easily dodge them on horseback.
The Wanping horse perfectly compensated for Zhang Xuezhou's lack of agility.
It seemed as if the people of Wanping Province had created their own home ground, but in reality, it was Zhang Xuezhou's home ground.
Zhang Xuezhou tamed his mount without even holding the reins, and his horsemanship surpassed that of Wanping, who was skilled at riding horses.
Without such a venue and mount, even if Zhang Xuezhou is skilled in marksmanship, he would be able to be continuously approached by someone using obstacles to evade them, and he would then have to use other means to win, which would greatly reduce the effectiveness of his efforts.
Suppressing Zhao Tianhua in the most swift and decisive way possible during what Zhao Tianhua had arranged as a sure-win situation caused Zhao Tianhua's expression to change repeatedly, and he also became somewhat impatient.
"If you want to cooperate, don't send such promising players to Wanping Province to embarrass us," Zhao Tianhua said angrily.
"There are quite a few players of his caliber in Western Capital City. We were just extending a normal invitation," Wang Haoran replied.
He would never admit that he had brought the strongest trump card of the younger generation from Western Capital City to Wanping Province.
Of course, besides Zhang Xuezhou, who is a trump card, there are other less capable individuals in Western Capital City, such as Ren Anran, who have not yet made a move.
"Really quite a few?" Zhao Tianhua said incredulously, "But the contestants you sent to Pingtan, Mengzhong, and Wuye were a complete mess. They were skilled, but nowhere near as outstanding as this Zhang Xuezhou!"
"You're clamoring for us to hold youth challenge tournaments continuously, what can we do? The best players are out of town and can't come back for a while, so we can only send some people to the ring to make up the numbers," Wang Haoran said. "Check other live streams in a few days, there are definitely others that fight even more fiercely than him!"
"You bastards, you're not letting us play!"
Zhao Tianhua continued to curse, but the fierce glint in his eyes subsided considerably.
Zhang Qiaoen's incursion into Western Capital City made many people aware that the Sequence Committee's strength was in serious trouble.
It wasn't just Zhao Tianhua; many experts from various provinces were also eager to make their move. Even if they didn't intend to seize Western Capital City, the powerful Lineage they represented wouldn't heed Western Capital City's advice and were heading towards a split similar to the ancient feudal states.
After this combination of carrot and stick approach, Zhao Tianhua gradually came to his senses.
The younger generation is excellent not because they have surpassed the older generation, but because they have different circumstances.
Seeing Zhang Xuezhou defeat the Wanping Province contestants like slaughtering dogs, Zhao Tianhua couldn't help but feel a bit more wary.
Even though the older generation in Western Capital City has retired and their successors are less capable, the outstanding performance of the younger generation forces him to restrain himself.
As the saying goes, fortunes change every thirty years. As long as the younger generation grows up with the help of technological advantages, these backward regions will inevitably be attacked.
Compared to the technological advantage of the major powers in Western Capital City, the current dominance of Wanping Province is almost a joke.
"You old idiot!"
Zhao Tianhua's attitude changed from being arrogant and unreasonable, directly giving orders, to getting up in anger, and then hurling insults.
This attitude kept changing. Although the body language seemed harsh, it was actually a process of moving from ignoring to acknowledging and then to taking it seriously. In fact, the other party's attitude was constantly improving.
A gentle approach is ineffective with the people of Wanping in the Northwest; only harsh reprimands can subdue them.
The stimulation from Zhang Xuezhou's reprimand was undoubtedly too intense, so intense that many young people in the audience were filled with despair. Zhou Bo and Zhao Meng, who were preparing to enter Western Capital City to take over as candidates for the Sequence Committee, also looked solemn, feeling that even if they personally took to the stage, they might be embarrassed.
Wang Haoran cursed Zhao Tianhua under his breath, then looked at Zhang Xuezhou with a serious expression.
Not to mention that these young people wouldn't get along with Zhang Xuezhou, Wang Haoran felt that he wouldn't get along with him either.
According to Ren Yisheng, there is a certain probability that Zhao Tianhua will not get the better of Zhang Xuezhou.
Zhang Xuezhou is not only an ace among the younger generation, but also an ace among the top groups in Western Capital City. These young people are not lacking in strength, but rather they have been crushed by the ace.
