Chapter 252 Similar
"A little to the left, yes, not quite... Don't move the gun barrel. Yes, in the direction I'm pointing..."

Jiang Hui concentrated intently, trying her best to control her mental energy, extending it continuously in the direction of the other party's mental energy mark, like a telescopic rod, extending longer and longer, until it reached a position that she could hardly see clearly with her naked eye.

She clearly felt Huan Xian's spiritual power travel along her extended spiritual field, reaching even further, accurately locking onto the marked prey, and then using her hand to draw her gun and subdue the enemy.

This sounds complicated, and it's even more complicated to implement. It consumes a lot of mental energy, and only Huan Xian, whose mental energy attribute is abnormal, and Jiang Hui, whose mental energy is unusually profound for some unknown reason, can do it.

Huan Xian's mental strength level is comparable to Jiang Hui's, and even slightly higher, but his mental strength's malleability and even energy quality are inferior to Jiang Hui's.

He can read the movements of enemies two or three kilometers away and mark them, which is not impossible for him to carry out long-range shooting, but because his perception is thin and his accuracy is insufficient, he is prone to alerting the enemy.

But Jiang Hui was different; her spiritual power was substantial and highly malleable. After being taught some techniques, she mastered most of them in one try and quickly built a spiritual "bridge" along the marked path, following Huan Xian's instructions.

As the connector of this bridge, Jiang Hui naturally has an easier time accurately grasping the way to shoot the prey.

With their combined efforts, Jiang Hui successfully killed an enemy two or three kilometers away using a laser training gun with a range of only about 1.5 kilometers.

This maneuver was so successful that even the person performing it couldn't believe it went so smoothly, let alone the enemy. Was this really her doing?
From this angle, Jiang Hui couldn't even see the enemy; he could only vaguely read the unfamiliar spiritual energy on the other side by following the extremely long lines of spiritual energy.

"So Huan Xian is really something," Jiang Hui thought to himself.

Little did Huan Xian know that he was also lamenting that he had never met anyone like Jiang Hui.

Not only because of the unreadable magnetic field surrounding the other party, but also because of her personality and talents that even she herself was unaware of.

Huan Xian was aware of his abnormal brainwaves; he had long been transformed into some unknown monster through endless experiments. For the past two years, he seemed unable to gain genuine acceptance in this vast human society. Aside from the military, it seemed there was nowhere else for him…

He had assumed this academic journey would end as easily as it had months before, and indeed, it had a rather dull start. But before his enthusiasm waned, he encountered such a fascinating group of people. This made him suddenly reluctant to end his academic journey so soon.

But he always knew he was different. If these people knew the real him... they would be far from understanding how terrifying he was.

However, he seemed to have suddenly discovered another person... whom he could tentatively call his kind.

Huan Xian once thought he was merely unable to read Jiang Hui's magnetic field, but now he realized that even his wicked and penetrating spiritual power couldn't penetrate the other's spiritual field, like water and oil that couldn't mix. Even the senior military figures who had taught him were more or less affected by his spiritual power—

To ensure Jiang Hui's mental energy accurately targeted the prey in the direction he had marked, their mental energies were almost intertwined, the two forces very close together. His own mental energy was as aggressive as ever, while his opponent's mental energy…

You won't know until you observe carefully. Only by looking closely can you realize that the other person's mental energy field is not like that of an ordinary person, which is just a thin layer of power. Rather, it is like a compressed, extremely thick organization with layers interwoven to form its own system. No force can easily break through its outer layer.

The two maintained a clear separation in their mental states, successfully completing their cooperation and sniping the enemy two kilometers away.

This left Huan Xian, who had only considered the feasibility of such a plan, with mixed feelings.

After Jiang Hui fired his final shot, Huan Xian sensed the unfamiliar mental energy on the other end plummet to an extremely low peak. He glanced at the oblivious man with a complex expression. Although he didn't know how the other's mental energy had acquired such inhuman characteristics, it didn't seem so bad…

"Uh, is this okay?" With Jiang Hui's current perception ability, it's still a bit difficult for her to read the situation around the mental energy terminals that extend that far.

After completing the final shot as instructed by Huan Xian, Huan Xian remained silent, making her quite anxious. She worried that she hadn't aimed properly and the enemy had escaped. Wouldn't that mean all their efforts had been in vain?

"That's enough... Thanks to your first shot. After that guy's mental field surged, it became much easier to mark him. Don't worry, you aimed very accurately; they've been eliminated," Huan Xian replied.

Jiang Hui nodded, then withdrew her taut arm, her fingertips trembling uncontrollably. She realized then that a cold sweat had broken out on her back, and the wind made her feel chilly. "While this is indeed feasible, it's far too strenuous, and you won't get any points. Besides, I feel quite drained mentally. Are you alright?"

"...It's alright, just take some supplements." Huan Xian's voice came from the other end.

The two of them didn't say anything more, and probably went to look for mental energy replenishment pills.

The three people on the other side who hadn't dared to interrupt: ...

“What happened that we don’t know about? Did they not have time to call us?” Hillman felt his throat go dry.

“They probably never intended to call us,” Zhou Xiuwen calmly commented. “There’s no place where we can be of any use.”

Clarence: ...

"No, how could this be...?"

The enemy was at least two kilometers away. Were you sure you hit them? If you missed, wouldn't you alert them?
Clarence wasn't questioning Jiang Hui's abilities; he was well aware of them, a conclusion drawn from the observation of a relatively skilled shooter. Although some aspects still seemed raw, there was simply too much room for improvement.

The last time he watched the other side shoot was a few days ago, and the difference between that and watching them kill the enemy today was like night and day. The improvement was more than just a little; it was a complete transformation.

Moreover, they were using laser training guns, which had little offensive power and aiming ability. The enemy was still two or three miles away. How did Jiang Hui and Huan Xian manage to track and shoot them? It wasn't something they could do by just blindly firing indiscriminately.

Clarence had just sensed a powerful, almost tangible, spiritual force suddenly rising from the side and heading straight in a certain direction. But this happened in a very short time, less than a minute, and it seemed to have completed some kind of complex change and convergence. Finally, with Jiang Hui's four consecutive gunshots, it seemed to have brought the final result to a close.

Even though he dared to question it aloud in disbelief, a voice deep inside him told him... it was true.

P.S.: I think we should give Xiao Ke a nickname: Ellipsis Jun (Erlipsis-kun)
Clarence: Another day of having such a terrible teammate shattering my worldview.

Poor Ke joined the team too late and was unaware of Huan Xian's abilities. He only felt that everyone trusted his information too much. However, when he found out later, it would probably be a moment of shock to his worldview.
