Supreme Electromagnetic Tyrant-Chapter 515 - 339: Stunning Skills_2

"Man Ying, won’t you give it a try?" Ji Xinghuo said with a smile.

Everyone was very surprised.

Zhao Manying’s strength was well recognized, but her occupation as a "Sword Immortal" meant her combat range was both close and distant; however, she couldn’t be considered a marksman since her attack distance was limited to within a hundred meters, far from that of a true archer.

Moreover, she hardly ever used shooting weapons in the arena.

Princess Sofia also said, "I didn’t know that the Sword Immortal lady also possessed Archery Skill. I’m very much looking forward to this."

Zhao Manying smiled sweetly, "I haven’t practiced much, but I guess I can give it a try."

Although it was just a slight smile, her confidence and beauty were fully revealed, making the hearts of the men present skip a beat as they felt the exceptional charm of the world’s number one goddess, then they looked at Ji Xinghuo with complex gazes.

Ji Xinghuo felt the stares and knew exactly what was going on; he had gotten used to it long ago.

Under everyone’s gaze, Zhao Manying lifted the electromagnetic rifle.

Her gun-raising motion was slightly awkward, showing that she had trained with firearms before, but seldom used them. Apart from Ji Xinghuo, others shook their heads secretly, not believing that Zhao Manying could hit the target.

Load, unlock, aim.

Zhao Manying’s actions were methodical as she sat on the back of the Silver Winged Pegasus, pausing for a breath before firing.

Bang bang bang...

The electromagnetic rifle wasn’t very loud; the rail emitted an electric scream as nine shuttle-shaped metal bullets were shot out in rapid-fire mode.

Zhao Manying put down the gun.

The next second, everyone saw the nine Wind-controlling Eagles opposite them, whether in the sky or in their nests, have their heads burst open almost simultaneously.

"Hiss..."

An Yitian sucked in a breath.

The others were equally incredulous; Zhao Manying had hardly aimed at all, and she wasn’t proficient with the electromagnetic rifle, yet she had achieved such an exaggerated result. To eliminate nine targets with headshots at a distance of 1500 meters was outrageous!

Princess Sofia stared with wide eyes for a few seconds, shaking her head repeatedly, at a loss for words.

Ji Xinghuo couldn’t help but laugh at everyone’s stunned expressions.

Zhao Manying also wore a smile, slipping the electromagnetic rifle back into the saddlebag and winking playfully at him.

"Cool!"

Ji Xinghuo gave a thumbs-up.

Others didn’t know what was going on, but he was very clear. Quantum Mind combined with True Eye enabled Man Ying to exert a control over herself and her surroundings that was unimaginable for ordinary people. Just shooting was child’s play for her.

Without any training, she could reach the level of shooting that other archers spend a lifetime trying to achieve.

And not just in shooting.

In combat, cultivation, martial arts, perception, memory, learning, she excelled in every aspect, without any weak point.

That was why Ji Xinghuo had considered whether or not to give "Absolute Hit" to Zhao Manying before, but she had refused.

Merging with Absolute Hit would have been a waste for her.

As the two exchanged glances, Princess Sofia finally broke the silence, expressing her admiration: "The talent of the Sword Immortal lady has indeed broadened my horizons."

Although she was legendary, and Zhao Manying was only a Super Mutant.

But that was only temporary.

Everyone was clear that Zhao Manying’s future was boundless. As long as she advanced to legendary status and entered at least the top ten of the legendary rankings, her becoming a Heavenly King was all but certain.

"This is what talent is..." Su Ziyou exclaimed, "Incomparable."

Zhao Manying’s beautiful eyes turned, landing on Ji Xinghuo as she teased, "I’m only second on the ladder."

"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed.

Sofia said, "Talent is talent, and strength is strength. The ladder ranks by strength, and the two shouldn’t be confused. Of course, in terms of talent and strength, Mr. Ji and the Sword Immortal lady are neck and neck; it doesn’t really matter who’s ranked first on the ladder."

"I don’t think so," suddenly a voice said. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

"Oh?"

Everyone turned towards the speaker, and it was none other than Kelly Olson, who spoke in an indifferent tone, "In my opinion, the Sword Immortal lady is the true number one of the ladder, I’m second, and Ji Xinghuo can only be third."

As these words were spoken, the only sound on the mountain top was the flapping of the Silver Winged Pegasus’s wings.

Some agreed with Kelly, mostly mutants from the United States, including two of her teammates; of course, there were also those who disagreed, as the Asia-Pacific Community’s ranking method was public and transparent, seldom erroneous.

Kelly fixed her gaze on Ji Xinghuo, "Mr. Ji, what do you think?"

This competitive mutant from the United States did not hide her thoughts, her words tinged with a hint of aggression.

"I don’t care," Ji Xinghuo spread his hands, "If you don’t like the ranking, you can report it to the Asia-Pacific Community and ask them to change it."

Kelly nodded, "I have always been doing so."

"Good luck with that."

Ji Xinghuo did not pay her any more attention.

With an ironic look on her face, Kelly was about to speak again when Princess Sofia timely interrupted her, "Ladies and gentlemen, let’s move on to the next shooting position."

The minor episode passed quickly.

After several more rounds of shooting, the atmosphere returned to normal, and Kelly did not pursue the matter further with Ji Xinghuo.

Three hours of the shooting exchange ended before they knew it. In the evening, everyone rode the Silver Winged Pegasus back to the manor.

"Please rest for a moment," Princess Sofia said on the grounds of the stables, "At 7 o’clock tonight, we will have a banquet. I have carefully prepared exquisite food and drinks for everyone, and there will be a wonderful performance during the event. Please don’t miss it."

Ji Xinghuo and Zhao Manying returned to their suite.

After asking the steward and the maid to leave, Ji Xinghuo asked, "What’s with that Kelly? Manying, did you notice anything?"

"I didn’t see anything special," Zhao Manying shook her head slightly, "I’ve fought against her a few times. She is very good at concealing her emotions. However, there are rumors online that she is dissatisfied with the Asia-Pacific Community’s rankings, perhaps it’s her way of not accepting you."

Ji Xinghuo was somewhat speechless, "Then does she accept you?"

"She didn’t before, but after I beat her so many times head-on, she had to accept it whether she wanted to or not," Zhao Manying said with pride on her face.

"Uh..."

A strange thought suddenly crossed Ji Xinghuo’s mind.

"What’s up?" Zhao Manying keenly sensed a change in his expression, "Do you have an idea?"

Knowing he couldn’t hide it from her, Ji Xinghuo could only smile and say, "You’ve beaten Kelly so many times, doesn’t she have a Heart Demon?"

The mention of the Heart Demon made Zhao Manying understand.

"I’m not sure about that," she glanced at Ji Xinghuo, "I only fought her in competitions, mostly online. I’ve only seen her in person a few times, and we never had any private contact, I don’t even have her contact information."

Touching his chin, Ji Xinghuo muttered, "Lost so many times, yet no Heart Demon, hmm..."

He pulled out his phone and started searching.

Kelly Olson’s life was almost entirely public online, her status in the United States comparable to Zhao Manying’s in the Asia-Pacific Community.

Both were prodigious young ladies who became famous at the age of 16 or 17.

Kelly was born in 2196 in the city that never sleeps. Her family was one of the controlling factions behind the New Township consortium, not quite one of the top families in the United States, but still barely part of the ruling class.

She demonstrated her talent before reaching adulthood and was vigorously nurtured by the New Township consortium to become the Magnetic Field Madman.

Kelly became a Super Mutant at the age of 21, climbed to the top of the ladder at 24, and held that position for four years until she was dethroned by Zhao Manying two years ago. Since then, she had not won a single match against Zhao Manying.

All of these facts were common knowledge.

What Ji Xinghuo was interested in was Kelly’s private life. While she posted photos with family and friends online, her romantic history was a blank slate.

It was unclear whether it was hidden or whether she truly never dated.

No results came up after an extensive search.

At 7 o’clock in the evening, Ji Xinghuo and Zhao Manying, dressed up, went arm in arm to the manor’s banquet hall.

Just as they entered, before they had time to talk with anyone, a sultry woman approached.

She wore an exquisitely elegant dress, her wine-red curls draped over her shoulders, exuding feminine charm. Yet, her eyes sparkled with electricity, and her expression was stern.

"Mr. Ji," Kelly took hold of Ji Xinghuo’s other arm and whispered so only the three of them could hear, "Tonight, let’s have a competition. If I win, would you leave the Sword Immortal?"
