Storm of Gods

Chapter 34: Choose Three Out of Four
"Let's begin, Senior Sister Ruolin, set up the formation," Luo Xue said crisply.

"Yes, President!" Fei Ruolin said crisply. Although the president's technique was stiff, she and Nan Kai felt warm inside.

The president is a responsible person; this kind of thing that offends people should be done by them. But neither of them has the president's background. If the other party's backer takes notice of them, it will definitely affect them after graduation.

At this moment, Senior Sister Fei Ruolin took out a small box. After opening it, she found a crystal-clear red spirit ointment inside. She pinched a piece out with her slender fingers, and with a burst of spiritual energy, the spirit ointment in her hand instantly dispersed, swirling around Fei Ruolin as if it had a life of its own, forming a circular array—a spiritual energy shielding array.

“The Black Rose’s base is specially made, with arrays to seal off your aura, so you can use your skills with confidence,” Fei Ruolin said. “The first test will be your marksmanship. Each of you will have six bullets, all of which are practice rounds. Go all out. If you can hit me or force me out of this circle, you will pass.”

Fei Ruolin drew a circle on the ground with a diameter of two meters, and everyone stood fifteen meters away.

The Hextech Gun uses the old six-round magazine. The gun is very comfortable to use, and it uses practice rounds. Given Fei Ruolin's strength, she shouldn't be seriously injured even if she gets hit.

The first to appear was Hurta. Hurta's expression was a bit serious because the Saxons didn't like using Hextech. He didn't expect to be tested on this right away. Hurta had been trained for the Academy, but his skill level was hard to say.

bang bang bang~~~
The Hextech Psionic Gun fired a barrage of bullets, clearly the shooter was trained and quite accurate, but Fei Ruolin dodged all the bullets with remarkable agility as she weaved and shifted within the circle.

Lu Shuai was observing, and the second one was him. Fei Ruolin was one of the top experts in the Academy, specializing in Hextech psionic guns. She was also extremely agile and understood bullet trajectories.

This is meant to give them a warning.

Using ordinary bullets greatly limits the ability to control the ballistics. Relying solely on mechanical techniques is quite difficult against a psychic expert. Xiao Hu's shots were quite accurate, but they were useless.

After dodging the bullets, Fei Ruolin barely moved, looking at the four newcomers with a half-smile, as if she really thought Black Rose was so easy to get into.

“Hurta has received solid training, but his marksmanship lacks finesse and is very stiff; it’s a weakness,” Fei Ruolin said.

Hurta bowed his head in respect, completely convinced that he was indeed lacking in this area. Senior Sister Fei Ruolin's movements and predictions had overwhelmed him, showing that she did have good eyesight. However, Hurta's eyes were instead filled with fighting spirit, which was also the purpose of coming to the Academy of Teachings: to grow!
“Commander Lu!” Luo Xue’s cold voice rang out.

Adjusting his breathing, Lu Shuai makes his entrance. As a nobleman, especially as a relative of the Grand Consul, his understanding of Hextech is fundamental, and marksmanship is a noble etiquette.

"Be careful, Senior Sister Ruolin. I started playing with guns at three, mastered them at eight, and reached the pinnacle at twelve..." Lu Shuai proudly introduced, when suddenly the Hextech Gun exploded.

bang bang bang...

The key to this attack was to catch the enemy off guard. Fei Ruolin was genuinely taken aback, mainly because the other party was a relative of Grand Consul Luther, a true nobleman. He was just putting on a show when he suddenly launched a sneak attack.

The four shots were aimed directly at Fei Ruolin's lower body, targeting her footwork. Fei Ruolin's reaction was equally quick; her long, beautiful legs moved nimbly. She was incredibly sensitive to bullet trajectories, and even if she was a little slow, she could still dodge them. Lu Shuai's last two shots, however, were aimed at the most difficult-to-dodge area: the middle.

Shooting requires strategy. Fei Ruolin's movements were already at their limit, making it impossible for her to hide in the middle. Lu Shuai put the gun to his mouth, intending to blow it in a cool way...

???

With a slow, deliberate movement, Fei Ruolin suddenly leaned back, her supple waist forming a bridge. She braced herself with her hands on the ground, a bullet grazing her waist. Without leaving the circle, Fei Ruolin pushed herself up with her hands, displaying astonishing core strength and flexibility.

"Not bad, the technique is good, and you've even shown a bit of cleverness," Fei Ruolin said calmly. "But cleverness won't last long."

Lu Shuai smiled wryly. He had run into a master. This senior sister was no ordinary person. Her body must be perfectly trained.

Fei Ruolin's expression softened as she looked at the gentle and refined Roland. "Junior brother, it's your turn. Don't be nervous, just do your best."

Roland smiled slightly, picked up the Hextech Gun, and said, "Be careful, Senior Sister."

Lu Shuai's mouth twisted, and he snorted through his nose. Was this a sign that they were going to go easy on him? Just because he's handsome, does that mean he can do whatever he wants? What happened to fairness?

Bang bang bang bang bang bang~~~~
The Hextech gun's wheel rolled, and bullets poured out rapidly, all hitting within Fei Ruolin's range. However, she felt that the marksmanship was too casual, not as accurate as Hurta's. Fei Ruolin made a judgment immediately, her eyes showing a hint of disappointment.

All the bullets missed their mark?

Suddenly, Fei Ruolin's expression changed slightly; it seemed she had been grazed by a bullet.

"Roland, hit the mark, pass." Luo Xue said, her eyes showing a hint of appreciation as she looked at Roland.

The bullets didn't seem very accurate; one of them grazed Fei Ruolin's clothes, and sure enough, Fei Ruolin saw the left hem of her dress being grazed by the bullet. Although it was a close call, everyone present was a highly skilled individual and could see it.

“Senior Sister Ruolin, you’re too used to predicting trajectories and very confident, so his five shots were meant to confuse you into making a move, triggering your habitual reactions and desire to show off. The real hidden shot was the hem of your dress,” Luo Xue said.

If the bullet were aimed at a person, there would be a response, but it was aimed at the hem of the clothes after the dodge, so there was no stress reaction on the person. The technique was unremarkable, but this layout was much more ingenious than Lu Shuai's. It seemed like he was taking a shortcut, but in fact, this understanding showed that he had seen through Fei Ruolin.

Fei Ruolin's expression also turned serious. She had also made the mistake of underestimating her opponent. Originally, she was going to teach the newcomer a lesson, but this time it was a real lesson.

"Junior brother, you are extraordinary. We can spar more often in the future." After saying that, Fei Ruolin stared intently at Li Xin. She wanted to regain face from this person with connections. Li Xin sensed the unfriendly attitude and touched his nose.

Hey lady, I'm not the one who's messing with you. You've got the wrong target for your hatred.

"Li Xin, it's your turn. You're the last one to go on stage, so you have the most time to prepare, which is a huge advantage. You need to put on an excellent performance, or you'll be at the bottom!" Luo Xue said.

Li Xin was stunned. Wasn't this the arrangement you guys made? It feels like Lao Luo has stirred up a hornet's nest. What happened to secretly developing?

Holding the Hextech Gun and standing online, Fei Ruolin on the other side was also on high alert. She knew that the president disliked this person the most, and it must be the unruly disciplinary officer putting pressure on him!

How could the leader of the Night Patrols be in the Order House? They're completely out of sync. Looks like he's our target today.

Fei Ruolin didn't underestimate him either; this kid must have some skills, otherwise the Grand Disciplinary Officer wouldn't have let him in.

Li Xin raised his hand, and *pfft! pfft! pfft!*
My hand trembled, and the Hextech pistol in my hand jammed three times before finally stopping. Was it jammed?

He opened the Hextech gun, took out the jammed bullets, and readjusted the magazine. "Senior sister, can we switch to another gun and start over?"

"In battle, would your opponent give you that chance? Not even noticing that your weapon is malfunctioning is a major mistake. Li Xin, you have three shots left," Luo Xue's voice rang out.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly turned cold. Lu Shuai and the others knew that the president was after Li Xin, and that the three of them were just innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire.

Li Xin smiled wryly. "Old Luo, what did you say to them? The Night Patrolmen are naturally all-powerful and can give orders at will, but the Academy of Instruction is full of pampered daughters. They can't stand this kind of treatment, and yet they still have the upper hand."

He adjusted the Hextech gun; someone had tampered with it, and he had been careless. After adjusting the magazine and checking the crosshair, he saw he had three rounds left. "Senior, be careful."

A cold smile crept across Fei Ruolin's lips. Who was she looking down on?!
bang bang bang~~
Without any hesitation, she fired three shots. Fei Ruolin's eyes sharpened as she swiftly moved, then suddenly her expression changed drastically. Her spiritual energy erupted, and boom...

He was thrown out, clutching his arms.

The audience was silent.

"Well done with the cluster bomb, quite skillful, passes." Luo Xue said, while Fei Ruolin, who was holding her arms, and Nan Kai, who was standing to the side, both showed incredulous expressions.

This is definitely a master.

Of the remaining three shots, the first was ordinary, but for the next two, Li Xin pressed his finger on the revolver and used an extremely difficult recoil control technique, combining recoil control with bullet tracking. With this skill alone, he was already above 99.9% of the students in the Order Academy.

If this was intentional, it can no longer be described simply as forceful.

"We're so lucky! Is Senior Sister alright?" Li Xin asked hurriedly.

The test didn't use psionic bullets; they wouldn't even be used in training. Ordinary bullets aren't very lethal, and psionic bullets contain mithril, making them extremely expensive. No matter how luxurious they are, they would never be used in training. Plus, Fei Ruolin reacted quickly, so her arm only swelled up.

Fei Ruolin looked at Li Xin, unsure of what to say. Luck... it's not impossible to try anything when you're desperate, although the chances are extremely low. But to say that he could actually pull it off is a bit too... amazing.

That single gun skill alone is enough to get her into the Black Roses, especially considering she was clearly being targeted, yet she still maintained such a stable mindset.

Seeing that Li Xin still seemed completely unaffected, Fei Ruolin licked her sexy lips and turned to Roland. This newcomer was quite capable…
