Chapter 739 - 362: It’s No Good If You Can’t Hit the Target
Chapter 739: Chapter 362: It’s No Good If You Can’t Hit the Target
"First, the basics. Long-range precision strikes. Stop just firing your electricity all over the place!"
"What do you mean, all over the place?"
Han Ruoxi protested.
"Besides, Superpowers can’t be as rigid as you Martial Artists. They need some flexibility!"
"Flexibility is fine, but not if you can’t hit your target!"
Li Chang’an said calmly.
"Against an enemy, every mistake you make could be fatal."
"Alright, alright, I get it!"
Han Ruoxi rolled her eyes.
"Let’s get started. I promise I’ll blow you away today!"
Li Chang’an nodded and pressed the control button for the training grounds.
A row of floating targets immediately appeared in the open space. The targets moved randomly, speeding up and slowing down without warning, specifically designed for precision training.
"Watch them carefully. Don’t rush to fire. Predict their trajectories."
Li Chang’an stood to one side, arms crossed, his gaze fixed on the targets.
"And be quicker. Don’t hesitate."
"Got it!"
Han Ruoxi took a deep breath, raised her right hand, and an arc of electricity shot from her fingertip, directly hitting one of the targets.
"Bullseye!"
She shot Li Chang’an a smug look.
"How about that? I’m pretty good, huh?"
"That was only one."
Li Chang’an’s expression didn’t change.
"Keep going."
Han Ruoxi gritted her teeth and fired off several more arcs of electricity. The targets fell one by one, though a few of her shots only grazed the edges and missed.
"Don’t rush."
Li Chang’an frowned.
"You’re relying too much on your eyes when you fire. You need to use your perception to judge their trajectories!"
"Perception?"
Han Ruoxi froze.
"Do you think I’m a Martial Artist like you? That I can sense an enemy’s movements? My Superpower only works with what I can see!"
"That’s because you haven’t trained enough,"
Li Chang’an’s tone was calm.
"A Superpower User’s perception is no worse than a Martial Artist’s. The key is knowing how to use it."
"Fine, fine, I’ll try again!"
Han Ruoxi muttered and focused her mind again.
She closed her eyes, trying to use her other senses to feel the targets’ movement.
"Don’t close your eyes!"
Li Chang’an reminded her.
"Keep your eyes open. Perception is a tool to supplement your vision, not replace it."
Han Ruoxi took a deep breath and obediently opened her eyes.
This time, her accuracy improved significantly. Nearly every target was struck with precision.
"Not bad."
Li Chang’an nodded.
"A few more reps. Maintain this state."
"Captain, I’m about to die of exhaustion!"
Han Ruoxi panted, the arc of electricity in her hand already growing unstable.
"Can we rest for a bit?"
"Ten more reps."
Li Chang’an looked at her.
"This practice is to build muscle memory. Once you’re on the battlefield, you won’t even notice you’re tired."
Han Ruoxi rolled her eyes but gritted her teeth and continued practicing.
With every arc that struck a target, she could feel her control strengthening, little by little.
Meanwhile, Shen Qiuyue and Sun Yang were with Bai Lin, studying reconnaissance routes.
A holographic map was displayed on Bai Lin’s console—a detailed simulation of an area outside the base.
"This spot is high ground, perfect for providing long-range fire support."
Bai Lin pointed to a red dot on the map.
"There’s a low-lying area here that could serve as an ambush point, but we need to be careful of the surrounding terrain. It would be easy for them to spot us with counter-recon."
"Sounds good on paper,"
Sun Yang said, propping his chin on his hand.
"But once we’re actually on site, who knows if these spots will still be viable? What if the terrain has changed?"
"That’s what the recon mission is for—to confirm these details."
Bai Lin pushed up his glasses.
"If you’re going to doubt that, then what’s the point of doing recon at all?"
"Alright, alright, you’re right,"
Sun Yang said, waving his hand dismissively.
"Anyway, we’ll be counting on you to guide us when we’re out there. Just make sure I don’t get lost!"
"You’d better not get lost,"
Shen Qiuyue said coldly.
"On this recon mission, you’re on fire support. If we can’t find your position, the entire squad will be in jeopardy."
"Sister Qiuyue, this isn’t my first mission. Do you have to be so harsh?"
Sun Yang said with a wry smile.
"You’re the most uptight person on this team. Can’t you relax a little?"
"No."
Shen Qiuyue’s tone was icy.
"During a mission, the slightest mistake can be fatal."
"Alright, alright, I’ll shut up."
Sun Yang shrugged.
"Go on, I’m listening."
Bai Lin continued explaining the reconnaissance plan. Back in the training grounds, Han Ruoxi finally finished her last set, collapsing onto the floor.
"Captain, I really can’t take any more!"
she panted.
"You’re trying to work me to death!"
"Your stamina is still seriously lacking."
Li Chang’an walked over and extended a hand to her.
"Get up. Go to the break room and get some water. That’s all for today’s training."
"Finally, freedom!"
Han Ruoxi took his hand and let him pull her to her feet. She couldn’t help but rub her aching shoulder.
"If it’s this torturous tomorrow, I’m going on strike!"
"You can try."
Li Chang’an turned and walked toward the exit.
"Tomorrow will be even tougher. Brace yourself."
Han Ruoxi followed behind him with a look of Despair, muttering under her breath.
’What a Devil Captain...’
Once they reached the break room, Han Ruoxi dove onto a sofa and sprawled out, unwilling to move a muscle.
Li Chang’an casually poured a glass of water and handed it to her.
"Drink up. Don’t just lie there."
His tone was flat, but his eyes held a hint of concern.
Han Ruoxi took the cup, muttering,
"I swear, you must be made of steel. You never get tired, and your expression never changes."
"You get used to it."
Li Chang’an sat down beside her and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
