'Huh… It seems like someone already set a high record. Could it be Wuxing?' Dongmei thought, seeing her statistics.

She was already shooting around three targets per second which was already considered fast. If she were to shoot faster, there was a chance she would miss some targets.

In this activity, the time didn't actually matter if one wanted to earn points, only accuracy did. But being challenged like that, Dongmei wanted to at least match Wuxing's skills. She still had nine runs to earn her two thousand points.

She set up the next round and decided to try hard for the next few rounds.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Score: 126

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Score: 128

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Score: 127

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Score: 129

Oof…

Dongmei wiped the sweat from her forehead, finding it hard to cross the last mark. Her accuracy was impeccable but her speed was lacking. She was already proud of herself for reaching his score but something pushed her to do more. She could feel this wasn't her limit.

\”What if…\” Dongmei suddenly thought of an idea, but hesitated, realizing it would be cheating.

She wanted to use her new ability, knowing exactly where her mistakes were. Her reaction time was reaching point two seconds which was already good but this was exactly where she was losing most of her time.

'I can check on Wuxing first then…' Dongmei thought, finding the reason to enter into this amazing state and closed her eyes.

In the next second, her mind exploded, shattering into thousands small fragments that filled her room in a blink. She felt a sting of pain but it was bearable, much softer compared to the first and second time she used it.

The pieces of her mind acted like mini spy cameras, showing her the view of the whole place. She spread them in every direction and they passed through walls, entering each room with ease.

'Wuxing…' She found him in the room next to her own and witnessed his incredible form.

He didn't even blink.

Didn't even flinch.

Each of his moves were smooth, switching from one target to another as if he knew where the next target would appear.

She witnessed the score reach ninety nine before stopping. He looked at the time which showed twenty five seconds and only five seconds later did he score the last point with a smile on his face.

'So cool…' Dongmei commented proudly but also felt bad. It turned out he was much better than she though and he simply pretended to keep his record low.

The motivation to beat him using her ability disappeared as soon as she saw it, realizing it didn't make sense. He didn't use anything yet he was already six seconds faster.

She reverted his mind back into her body and smiled, starting another session.

'I'm a lucky woman.'

After all ten rounds, she checked the leaderboard and found the two of them were on top, claiming number one and two spots. Each of them had two thousands points but others were quickly catching up. If they wanted to stay on top, they had to move quickly.
