Chapter 223: 215 Dominant! Paternity Test [3 updates]
One shot followed another, without any pause.
The shouting within the entire shooting range was completely drowned out by the powerful gunfire.
This was the newly modified R45, not only did it have a rapid fire rate and immense power per shot, but its range could match that of the AS50, reaching up to 2000m!
Compared to the original few hundred meters, it was a qualitative leap.
Not to mention, it was also very compact and portable, easy to carry, without the heavy weight and need for a support stand like the AS50.
Even the equipment area on this island couldn’t design such gear.
It could be said to be absolutely flawless.
Even without the sounds of gunfire, no one in the spectator seats was making any noise anymore.
Although they were sitting far away, there were telescopes in front of their seats.
Through the telescopes, they could clearly see the moving target.
This target had always been very difficult to hit since it was always in motion, and not slow either.
Direct shooting could lead to errors, let alone blind shooting.
But they could see that every shot the girl fired hit the target dead on!
Because the target flashed by too quickly, they couldn’t see the specific score.
But it was enough to astonish all the members.
Her back was turned, and she was eight hundred meters away. How did she do it?!
Miss Rita, with her back to Ying Zijin, heard the sounds but didn’t turn around, “What’s the matter with you? Why haven’t you taken her down yet?”
Hunters on the ranking, especially those from major clans like hers, had special privileges in the Hidden Alliance.
However, the staff did not show her the reverence she expected, only politeness, “Sorry, Miss Rita, this lady is also a contestant.”
“Since she is participating, you have no right to do that.”
Miss Rita’s expression changed, showing some displeasure, “But I remember that there were no names of women from Hua Country on the participant list for this time.”
The staff member said no more and stepped aside.
Rita, growing impatient, turned back around, “I’m saying, are you done? I have other matters to attend to, so don’t waste my time.”
Getting the Calming Flower and meeting with the Number One Poison Master were matters of urgency for the Bevin Family.
She had no time to waste, keeping company with a little girl shooting at random here.
Just then, ten shots fell, clean and crisp.
Ying Zijin’s wrist had not moved at all, and her breathing remained steady.
It was as if she hadn’t fired ten shots, but merely drunk a cup of water.
It was also after the final shot that joyful music suddenly sounded throughout the shooting range.
Such music had never been heard before.
Rita was startled, then sharply turned her gaze towards the upper right.
There was a big scoring screen showing three green digits—
100!
Ten points for one shot in the tenth ring.
100 points meant ten shots in the tenth ring!
Rita’s eyes widened in disbelief, and her lips trembled fiercely.
She too had tried hitting that target, and that too while looking at it.
Her best score was 54 points.
The highest she had ever scored was 7 rings.
And after shooting, her arm would take a long time to recover.
This person from Hua Country…
The staff member was also stunned in place, he quickly took out the walkie-talkie and said, “Take down the target, and bring it here.”
Upon receiving this message, the person on the other end moved a ladder over and took down the moving target.
But before the staff member could take it, Rita snatched it away.
She simply couldn’t believe that among her peers, there was someone with better marksmanship than her.
The scoring machine must be malfunctioning!
Rita looked down and her face instantly froze.
The target was clean, without the expected unevenness, with just one bullet hole!
This proved that not only had the ten shots hit the target, but they all landed exactly in the same spot, not off by even a millimeter.
The staff member’s pupils contracted as he muttered, “This joke’s gone too far…”
Following that, a camera zoomed in, projecting the target onto the big screens around, so the audience could see it clearly.
Looking at the single bullet hole, Yun Wu rubbed his eyes and sucked in a breath, completely stunned, “Holy shit!”
Just as he yelled out, Yun Shan stepped on him, “Don’t swear in front of the young master.”
Yun Wu quickly covered his mouth, but he couldn’t completely contain his emotions and started shaking Yun Shan’s shoulder frantically, “Second brother, did you see that? Am I blind?!”
Even the top three on the Gun God Ranking couldn’t achieve such precision.
And as someone knowledgeable in the field, he could tell that Ying Zijin had definitely not practiced shooting.
If she had, there would be thick calluses on her hands.
To blind shoot like this?
“Didn’t I tell you?” Yun Shan remained very calm, “It will blind your dog’s eyes.”
At the shooting range.
Ying Zijin put away the R45 and turned, “Your turn.”
However, Miss Rita hesitated to take out her equipment, her hands trembling at her sides.
She bit her teeth and spat out three words unwillingly, “I concede.”
Miss Rita knew very well that even if she tried several times, she wouldn’t be able to achieve this result.
Better to step back than to embarrass herself in public.
The spectators in the stands were shocked, the noise growing louder, with cheers and screams intermixed.
“After beating Miss Rita, shouldn’t she become number 87 on the Gun God Ranking?”
“No, no, no, her marksmanship, I’d bet, could easily make it into the top five!”
“How old is this person from Hua Country? She looks younger than Miss Rita. I have a feeling the rankings are about to change.”
“To lose is to lose, fair and square.” Miss Rita extended her hand, quite sportingly, “I apologize for my earlier arrogance.”
“The old saying from Hua Country, ‘There are always people out there better than you’, is indeed true.”
“No, you’re very strong,” Ying Zijin said, half-closing her eyes as she replied in English with a light laugh, “You’ll be even stronger in the future.”
Miss Rita was momentarily startled.
By the time she came to her senses, the girl had already left.
Leaving only a silhouette behind.
Ying Zijin nodded to the management staff, indifferently, “I won’t be entering the ranking, just give me the Calming Flower.”
She wanted to meet the person who, under the guise of her name, had been deceiving others.
The member of staff unconsciously looked towards the stage.
A second later, he came to his senses, “Alright.”
Fu Yunshen withdrew his gaze.
Aside, Yun Wu seemed to recall something, his expression growing stern, “Young Master, are you really sure you haven’t looked into Miss Ying closely? The skills she has shown do not match her age at all.”
He paused, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke, “If it’s someone from there, Young Master, you could be in danger, I think maybe we should…”
Fu Yunshen’s gaze faltered, and he slowly turned, his tone still casual, “What did you say?”
Yun Wu clamped his mouth shut and lowered his head, “I’m sorry, Young Master, I misspoke.”
Fu Yunshen said no more.
His eyelashes drooping, he chuckled lightly.
In this world, there were no more people he could truly trust.

After the evening competition, Miss Rita returned to her hotel.
The middle-aged man following her was anxious, “Miss, if we can’t get the Calming Flower, the Number One Poison Master won’t meet with us, and then the poison in your father’s body will be incurable!”
The Number Three Poison Master had been consulted before, but to no avail.
And as for the Number Two Poison Master…
Everyone knew that this individual was the true embodiment of malevolence and cruelty.
Solely producing and administering poison, never curing it.
“I know,” Miss Rita said with a bitter smile, massaging her temples, “I was careless this time. I didn’t expect a dark horse to emerge, and a person from Hua Country at that.”
The hunters from Hua Country always had the lowest numbers.
Of course, that was among the known ones, as for those concealing their identities, no one knew where they were from.
“Why don’t you buy the Calming Flower from her?” the middle-aged man suggested, “For other hunters, they value the rankings and strength more.”
“It’s no use to a non-Poison Master to have the Calming Flower.”
Miss Rita pondered for a moment, then asked, “When can the senior Number One Poison Master arrive?”
The middle-aged man replied, “She said to prevent her identity from being exposed, she won’t come to this island. She wants you to meet her in Hua Country.”
“Also Hua Country?” Miss Rita was surprised, “Could it be someone from the Ancient Medical Field in Hua Country?”
“We can’t rule out that possibility,” the middle-aged man chuckled, “It seems Hua Country is really a place full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons.”
Miss Rita nodded, “Alright, first thing tomorrow morning, we’ll set out for Hua Country.”

The next morning, Ying Tianlv still made a trip back to the Ying Family.
Naturally, it was while Ying Yuexuan was out at her supplementary classes.
Zhong Manhua knew that Ying Tianlv was very angry at her, and since she had traditional views, she was frightened of Ying Tianlv.
Knowing she was in the wrong, she didn’t dare to say much and stayed out of sight in the bedroom.
Ying Tianlv went straight upstairs to the study.
On the right side of the study was a safe, where Ying Zhenting and Zhong Manhua kept important documents.
But Ying Tianlv also had the combination.
He squatted slightly, entered the code, opened the safe, and took out the documents inside.
He flipped through them quickly, until he reached the last piece of paper.
It was a paternity test.
