Chapter 227 - Round One.
Yang Dao supported Lin and the two people moved toward the Infirmary. Talen has given him the gun back before dispersing. The boy held a black boot in his hand, while Lin had her arm over his shoulder. She jumped on her other leg to move forward.
The injury on her leg may have looked like a common bruise, but Yang Dao saw her ankle was almost dislocated. This was too hard of a move played by Trent in a simple sparring match, Lin had a faint blush on her face as the boy placed his other hand on her waist. Yang Dao would lay if he said that he did not like Lin but the affection was not too strong. They did not have that deep of an interaction.
Yang Dao said, “Senior, you could have handled that guy harder.” he intended Lin goes easy in sparring matches.
Lin nodded and said, “I was trying to practice my hard and soft skills with him. I did not expect him to pull this kind of move. At first, he seemed very diligent to me. That is why I was not on my guard.”
Yang Dao shook his head and said, “Water is soft but when it attacks, it is a force that can destroy the entire world. You need to be like that Senior Lin. When fighting, never go easy. I mean, you may not hurt him but do not give the other person such a chance.”
Lin nodded, smiled. Yang Dao was speaking out of concern to save her from such injuries in the future. She nodded and assured him to be careful in the future. They reached the infirmary and the on-duty medical staff came to check on her. Special Forces were all elemental. The doctors were the same.
The difference was that they were very proficient in manipulating the source energy to heal the wounds. The doctor checked the wound and then he moved the source energy in the atmosphere to heal the injury. The process was very fascinating for Yang Dao. He was drawn to it. Too bad that the process was finished in five minutes and Lin had recovered her foot.
The two people then left for the racecourse. Many people were already gathered around the racecourse. Yang Dao was surprised. He asked Lin, “Is this not too exaggerated of a response?”
Lin shook her head with a smile, “This is because of the comprehensive duel. It has been a few months since such a big event was held. You may not know but the comprehensive duel result is like a ranking match between squads.”
Yang Dao was surprised and asked with a wry smile, “So if I lost, our squad falls in the ranking?”
Lin nodded with a calm smile on her face. She said, “Don’t worry. Try your best.” the boy nodded to her and they walked over to the starting line.
Talen, Kaya, and Victor stood by the car making inspections. The position of the targets was random and was not told to any of the participants. The two people from the wolf squad were also isolated from the rest of the squad. Even their communicators were seized by the overseers.
Yang Dao came over almost at the same time as the opponents. The people on the sidelines were all whispering and pointing fingers at them. The hubbub was too great. A referee came over and said, “We will toss for the one who goes first and who goes last. Okay?” ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
The two parties agreed and Yang Dao tossed the coin. The opponent called for heads as the coin was still in the air and after it landed, they won. They sent Yang Dao first. This way they will locate the targets popping up on the course. Obviously, it was a lowly move on their part, but it was a duel and they could not go easy.
Yang Dao asked to referee, “Sir, may I know how many targets are there?”
The referee said, “The course is five-kilometer long. Twenty targets have been set up. Some are stationary while some a moving. All the best, Captain.”
Yang Dao smiled and replied, “Thank you, sir.” he came to Kaya and asked, “Can I have your gun as well? Mine can only hold ten bullets.”
Kaya handed him her black DeathStar1 with a smile and said, “Boy, don’t you dare miss a shot with my little one. She spews death in the literal sense.”
Yang Dao smiled as he sensed the gun in his hand. He said, “Don’t worry. I will not be that bad.” and he walked over to the jeep prepared for him. The boy got up and started the car. He placed his own gun in the holster while held Kaya’s in his hand. The referee on the side said, “Ready…”
“Go…” as soon as the word dropped, the car shot out like a bullet. Yang Dao had his elemental sense locked on the place. Not even an ant can get past him let alone a human-sized target. The boy had just left when a target popped out of the bushes. He raised his hands and…
BAM…
A bullet flew out from his gun and landed square on the target. The people were surprised. They did not expect a target to be hidden there. Yang Dao used just one hand to make a hard drift and on his left side another target popped up. The Jewel nation used a right-hand drive car system.
Yang Dao had just entered the right curve when this target came up on the left. The boy switched the gun to his left hand and…
BAM…
The rest of the course was like this one. Unexpected targets popped up now and then and the boy shot them all down with ease. At least it looked easy to the others, but they all were in a daze. The car was gliding while the gun fired very precise bullets.
