Instructing her daughter to practice throwing knives, the police were frightened and asked to file

Although He Chenguang's abilities in all aspects have been greatly improved after being modified by body enhancers, the competition environment today was too harsh, and he was unable to perform at his best. Of course, this is still a very good result.

"There are twenty targets in the camp. You probably missed the robotic dog 1,800 meters away, and another target on the grass behind the wooden house about 800 meters away. There's another target on the way there," Qin Tian replied after thinking for a moment. He had already knocked the robotic dog over, so it was probably hard for the people behind it to see; and the target about 800 meters away was also well hidden and difficult to spot.

"I really didn't notice at all. I never expected to have a target on the road," He Chenguang said helplessly. He originally thought he had performed quite well in the heavy rain, but the final result still made him feel desperate. The gap between him and Qin Tian was too big.

"Hitting seventeen targets is already a very good result. At least they are all second-level mortar shooters, which is a great honor," Qin Tian said to comfort He Chenguang.

“That’s true. Yanbing, how many targets did you hit?” He Chenguang then turned to Wang Yanbing and asked.

Wang Yanbing was stunned as he listened to Qin Tian and He Chenguang's conversation: "Twenty-one? Seventeen? I only saw sixteen targets in total, and one of my shots missed. In the end, I only hit fifteen."

Fifteen targets are actually quite good. But compared to Qin Tian and He Chenguang, they seem somewhat lackluster. You see, he has always considered these two as his targets to catch up with.

"Hey, there are only twenty-one targets in total, and it's raining heavily right now, so this is already a pretty good result! Our Red Cell Team definitely did a great job this time!" the pilot interjected with a smile.

"I was thinking of giving it a try, but I decided against it. I can't compare to you guys," Li Erniu said. He had always been the most insecure member of the Red Cell team, despite his considerable skill.

"Erniu, be more confident next time. You can definitely do it." Qin Tian patted Li Erniu on the shoulder and encouraged him. His words seemed to have a magical power, planting a seed of confidence in Li Erniu's subconscious.

Time passed slowly, and about half an hour went by.

The person in charge of compiling the results finally returned and began reporting the situation to Commander Du and Gao Shiwei.

"Shall we announce the results and ratings now?" After seeing the results, Commander Du was clearly surprised and then asked Gao Shiwei.

"Then Commander Du, you can announce it," Gao Shiwei said cheerfully, having also seen the result. He was very satisfied with the Southeast Military Region's outstanding performance this time.

"Good, congratulations, Commander Gao. Your Southeast Military Region has really shone this time." Commander Du stood up and said.

"Commander Du, don't be in such a hurry. This is just the beginning. The main event is yet to come," General Gao Shiwei said with a smile. The sniper competition was over, and now the real highlight—the Red and Sword cross-military region exercise—was officially underway.

"Now I announce that three people have been awarded the Assassin title in this Red and Sword Sniper Competition:"
The first place winner is Qin Tian, ​​captain of the Red Cell Special Operations Squadron of the Southeast Military Region.

The second place went to Lin Rui, deputy captain of the Jackal Special Forces Brigade of the Southeast Military Region.

The third place went to the Red Arrow Battalion of the Southwest Military Region's Divine Sword Battalion.

"Congratulations to the three of them for achieving the highest honor for snipers—Level One Marksman Assassin!" Commander Du announced the final results of the sniper competition in a clear and authoritative voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire venue erupted in cheers.

"First place!"

"champion!"

"The strongest assassin!"

"Qin Tian!"

As Commander Du finished speaking, the entire venue erupted in cheers.

"The Divine Sword Camp also participated this time, but they only got third place?"

"The first place is Qin Tian. I know him; he's a super expert in throwing knives! I never imagined his throwing knives would be even more powerful than a sniper rifle and superior to the bows and arrows of the Divine Sword Battalion!"

"This time, two of the three assassins were from the Southeast Military Region, and they were the top two."

"The champion is Qin Tian. I had heard about his achievements before. His performances in South America and Thailand were amazing. He really has real skills."

Everyone started talking.

Before this, the Divine Sword Camp was always mysterious and powerful, as if no one else could compare to them. But now, although the archers of the Divine Sword Camp also won the title of the strongest assassin among snipers, they only ranked third, which undoubtedly made them fall from their pedestal and become no longer out of reach.

This outcome was hard for the members of the Divine Sword Camp to accept.

"Red Arrow, what's going on?" Hearing these discussions, Azure Dragon, the leader of the Divine Sword Camp, frowned and asked Red Arrow. He had sent Red Arrow this time to let the enemy establish the reputation of the Divine Sword Camp, but unexpectedly, it had backfired and damaged the reputation of the Divine Sword Camp.

"Impossible, how could I only get third place?" At this moment, Hongjian also found the result unbelievable, so he raised an objection: "I want to know, why am I third place? I clearly hit one more target than Qin Tian."

"But the final results show that Qin Tian hit all 21 targets, Lin Rui hit all 18 targets, and you also hit all 18 targets. However, your arrow missed the coin on one target, so Lin Rui got second place." Commander Du said helplessly. He also found it hard to accept this result.

The usually mysterious and invincible Divine Sword Battalion rarely appears in front of ordinary special forces soldiers, but this time, its appearance has resulted in such a crushing defeat.

"21 targets?" Upon hearing this, Red Arrow was taken aback and asked in disbelief, "Weren't there only nineteen in total? Moreover, the nineteenth target was two kilometers away, and given the heavy rain just now, there was no way anyone could have hit the target."

He originally thought that 18 targets should be the limit, but he didn't expect Qin Tian to hit 21 targets!
"But Qin Tian did it." Commander Du looked at Qin Tian with admiration and then said, "Now, let Captain Lei Keming explain the situation in detail."

“Okay.” Lei Keming stepped forward and said, “We have set up a total of twenty-one targets. One of them is on the road, and only Qin Tian and Lin Rui have discovered it. The other twenty targets are in the camp.”

"Of those twenty targets, only Qin Tian's throwing knives hit two. One was the mechanical dog 1,800 meters away, and the other was a wooden stake 2,000 meters away. Qin Tian accomplished a task that ordinary people could not; he is undoubtedly the strongest assassin," Lei Keming said with admiration. He had begun to admire Qin Tian when he was defeated by him at the foot of the mountain. When he checked the results of the competition, he was even more shocked. This was simply an all-around sniper, far superior to snipers who used guns! If those throwing knives had landed on a real person, they would have been fatal! And that was done in heavy rain!

Undoubtedly the strongest assassin!
"How could he possibly do that..." Upon hearing this, Hongjian's face turned ashen, and he almost collapsed. He simply couldn't believe that Qin Tian could hit targets 1,800 and 2,000 meters away in such harsh, rainy conditions; it was utterly unbelievable...

Even Qinglong's expression turned solemn. Even someone as powerful as him would inevitably have his strength affected by such harsh weather. But this young man who had rejected their Divine Sword Camp could actually ignore the severe weather—that was terrifying.

“But I clearly remember that there was one target that didn’t have a throwing knife…” Red Arrow murmured, still unwilling to give up.

"You mean that dummy that's about 1,200 meters away?" Upon hearing this, Lei Keming turned to his subordinates and ordered, "Bring it here."

Soon, the competition mannequins were carried onto the stage.

"It's not that Qin Tian missed hitting this dummy, but rather that his throwing knife pierced deep into the dummy's heart from behind. That was the real fatal blow." Lei Keming demonstrated while pulling a throwing knife from the dummy. "Strictly speaking, only Qin Tian could get a perfect score on this target."

Upon hearing this, a bitter look flashed across Hongjian's face, and he appeared utterly dejected. As a member of the Divine Sword Camp, he had never suffered such a heavy blow.

He was utterly defeated, and the defeat was without any doubt. From any perspective, he lost to Qin Tian.

"Cheer up! The real test is on the battlefield!" Qinglong said calmly. "We will regain the face we have lost on the battlefield."

Ding!
Just then, Qin Tian heard a system notification.

"Assassin mission complete!" the system notification announced. "Congratulations, host, on completing the assassin mission. You have received a reward of 100,000 experience points and two additional explosive throwing knives."

Although two explosive throwing knives weren't much, the 100,000 experience points were a pleasant surprise for Qin Tian.

This immediately made up for the experience points he had spent upgrading Super Lock, and even gave him ten times more. His experience point reserves also soared from 300,000 (originally 310,000, but upgrading Super Lock cost 10,000) to 400,000.

Now, he has enough experience points to raise his personal level to level 8, and he still has 100,000 experience points left!
"System, help me level up to level eight!" Qin Tian notified the system without hesitation. His flying knife qi refining technique had already reached the "My Heart is Like a Knife" realm, and now that he had enough experience points, he naturally wanted to take the opportunity to level up.

"Okay, host. Consuming 300,000 experience points, personal level upgrade begins... Leveling up... Leveling up complete! Congratulations, host, you have successfully reached level 8! 100,000 experience points remaining." The system's voice came through.

"Congratulations, host. Your abilities in all aspects have been greatly enhanced, and you have successfully merged with the 'My Heart is Like a Knife' realm, elevating your throwing knife technique to a higher level. Now, the throwing knife has become an extension of your body, with a maximum range of 3,500 meters."

Qin Tian could clearly feel his body changing rapidly, as if every cell was becoming stronger. He tried to grasp a throwing knife and was surprised to find that the knife was connected to his bloodline—it was incredibly miraculous.

"A range of 3,500 meters..." Qin Tian was secretly shocked. He knew that the longest known sniper kill was only around 2,500 meters, and his current range was a thousand meters further!

He gazed at the distant mountains, taking in the entire panorama. He felt his throwing knives could strike any target. He was now so powerful that even he himself was afraid. At this rate, taking the head of an enemy amidst a million soldiers wouldn't be impossible.

He then opened his information panel to check:
Level: 8

Experience points: 10 million

Throwing Knife Skill Level: 8 (Maximum throwing range of 3,500 meters, can launch six throwing knives simultaneously)

Attributes: Strength 10, Agility 11, Constitution 11, Spirit 8
Throwing Knife Techniques: Lock-On (Super), Military Combat Techniques (Super), Insight (Super), Swift Step (Super), Refraction (Advanced), Throwing Knife Retrieval (Advanced), Camouflage (Super), Detection (Super), Tank Driving (Super), Aircraft Driving (Super), Teleportation (30 meters), Phantom (Super), Hacking (Beginner)

物品：空间戒指（可存放物品，面积十立方米）、神秘木雕（用于飞刀术练习，有几率感悟飞刀技）、合金飞刀30把、破甲飞刀6把、分裂飞刀6把、爆裂飞刀22把、幻音飞刀6把、幻影飞刀6把、空间飞刀1把

Through his personal information panel, Qin Tian saw that all of his attributes had improved slightly from their original levels.

What surprised him even more was that, due to the level increase, he could not only throw more knives at once, but also attack multiple enemies at the same time, which would greatly reduce his pressure when he was outnumbered.

Furthermore, he also discovered that his true energy had significantly increased. Previously, charging the Blizzard Lotus Flower to 10% would deplete his true energy, but now he could charge it to 20% in one go!

"Right now, I could probably easily crush an ordinary hundred-man squad head-on." Qin Tian closed the information panel, clenched his fist, and gave himself a new assessment of his strength.

This is the change brought about by the improvement of strength.

At this moment, he glanced at Azure Dragon, the leader of the Divine Sword Camp, and felt that the other party was no longer so unapproachable.

Having toned down the overconfidence brought about by the upgrade, Qin Tian was full of confidence for the upcoming formal combat exercise.

On the high platform, the announcement of the sniper competition results was still ongoing.

The final result was that He Chenguang and Ostrich from the Lone Wolf Commando Team were awarded the title of Second-Level Shooter with Whistles, while Wang Yanbing was awarded the title of Third-Level Shooter with Arrows.

Of the top ten, the Southeast Military Region and the New South Military Region each accounted for five spots. Naturally, the Southeast Military Region earned more Level 1 Marksman/Assassin and Level 2 Marksman/Whistleblower titles.

Theoretically speaking, the Southeast Military Region has won the sniper competition.

This also made Qin Tian realize that in the field of sniping, physical strength and mastery of qi do not necessarily equate to superiority. The fact that an ordinary person like Lin Rui could defeat Red Arrow from the Divine Sword Battalion speaks volumes.

Top snipers often possess exceptional combat instincts, a skill that is equally terrifying. (End of Chapter)
