Night had fallen.
It was the third time Zhushi Jiu had arrived at this accursed location. Even a pig could accurately grasp the timing of the black-clothed men’s arrival by now. And as for Zhushi Jiu, he was no fool; he had transformed from an ordinary university student into a warrior who fought for his life against the black-clothed men, with every step forward being a struggle against death.
The time had come.
As expected, he heard the sound of footsteps clearer than last week. Zhushi Jiu knew that this wasn’t because the black-clothed men had changed their positions, but because he had a clearer recollection of their subtle footsteps than last week.
He could focus on that sound in the darkness of the night, amplifying it to the point where the slightest noise from the black-clothed men would trigger a conditioned response.
This was an etched memory, forged in his soul with the fire of death.
Just like last week, Zhushi Jiu turned around from behind the tree, carrying an unyielding belief and a calm acceptance of his impending death, as cool and collected as the trained black-clothed men.

One arrow shot out!
Regardless of the damage caused by this arrow, Zhushi Jiu didn’t hesitate, swiftly retreating behind the tree.
Then, he heard a muffled groan from behind the tree.
“It’s effective…”
His calm heart rippled with excitement.
Was it habituation? The experience from last week was etched in Zhushi Jiu’s memory, so he nearly perfectly replicated his actions from last week. The arrow from last week had forced the black-clothed men to dodge with an almost superhuman reaction speed…
And this week, he had trained for another afternoon in the shooting range, resulting in some improvement in his archery skills.
Sometimes, a slight change can make a significant difference.
When this arrow exceeded human reaction speed, even the black-clothed men couldn’t dodge.
But how severe was the damage? Zhushi Jiu didn’t care; his heart was as still as a lake.
As he treated himself as a character strictly following the script, nothing could stop him from performing his archery skills according to plan.
Waiting for the passage of time.
“0101… Warning point B has encountered enemy forces… The enemy is using bows and arrows, approximately twenty meters east-southeast of warning point B… Repeat…”
Perhaps because he had really hit the black-clothed men’s vital points, their voices trembled slightly this time.
Zhushi Jiu didn’t interrupt the black-clothed men’s report because he wanted to recreate the situation from last week, without any sudden changes, so it seemed like he had fallen into another life-or-death crisis. However, everything was under his control.
He calculated the time briefly.
Zhushi Jiu drew two arrows from his quiver.
He lightly tossed the first arrow to the left!
At the same time, he nocked the second arrow onto the bowstring, swiftly turning to the right!
The white glow, as expected, hit the decoy arrow Zhushi Jiu had tossed.

This time, Zhushi Jiu targeted the eye of “black-clothed man B”.
“Die!!”
The arrow carried immense kinetic energy, drawing a silver-white trajectory in the moonlight, almost identical to the arrow from last week, directly striking the black-clothed man!
Black-clothed man A raised his gun.
Black-clothed man B also raised his gun, but Zhushi Jiu’s arrow made him reflexively dodge to the side.
Another elite with superhuman reaction ability!
Zhushi Jiu observed even more calmly, more closely.
He saw that both black-clothed men had pulled the trigger, but black-clothed man A’s gun didn’t respond. Black-clothed man B’s gun muzzle emitted a white light.
Having experienced this before, Zhushi Jiu predicted and leaned backward in advance, narrowly avoiding the white laser beam that ripped through the night air, scorching his chest and burning a hole in his clothes.

He hadn’t dodged fast enough.
If an ordinary person had suffered such a painful attack, they would have screamed in agony, but Zhushi Jiu’s spirit had long been tempered in the crucible of death, advancing towards superhuman development.
He forcefully maintained a state of stillness, using his right index and middle fingers to draw an arrow from the quiver in the instant the white laser hit.
Next second, he would nock the arrow and shoot!
However, at this moment, black-clothed man A’s gun muzzle also emitted a white light.
“……”
Zhushi Jiu was hit on the arm again.
…
He died again, but Zhushi Jiu told himself it wasn’t a big deal.
He used one life to clearly remember the interval between the laser weapon’s shots.

Only a brief second.
What kind of black technology was this?
Although his heart was unwilling, he was ultimately shot in the arm.
Then, the two black-clothed men from the warning team, plus one additional supporting black-clothed man, arrived at his location, looking down at him with contempt, contacting the commander through their earpieces without any hesitation.
Finally, Zhushi Jiu heard the familiar death sentence: “Permission to eliminate the target has been granted.”
And so, the ninth week ended with Zhushi Jiu’s death at the hands of black-clothed man A’s gun.
However, Zhushi Jiu also saw the results of his first arrow’s damage.
The arrow had deeply embedded itself in black-clothed man A’s eye, but it didn’t seem to have penetrated further, only blinding his right eye. Black-clothed man B had dodged his second arrow, escaping unscathed.
His first arrow’s advantage was already so clear, but the result was vastly different from last week; black-clothed man A didn’t die, only losing one eye.
And the one-eyed black-clothed man A ultimately ended his life in retaliation.

This outcome made Zhushi Jiu realize one thing.
His arrows weren’t sharp enough.
He needed faster, stronger arrows that could pierce through twenty meters and hit his target under the blessings of the Divine Bow.
Only then could he achieve the maximum effect with his first arrow. If he could kill black-clothed man A, the commander, in the first shot, black-clothed man B wouldn’t be able to contact the commander or other black-clothed men for support. He could focus on dealing with one black-clothed man.
Li Hua’s voice interrupted Zhushi Jiu’s thoughts.
“Damn it! Five kills! I’m invincible today!”
Zhushi Jiu curled his lip.
You’re bragging about getting five kills in the game, but I’m being bombarded in reality!
His mental state was a bit unstable, so Zhushi Jiu left the annoying dormitory building.
The arrows purchased at the archery equipment store were mostly competition-grade arrows. Although they had some killing power after being blessed by the bow, they weren’t enough.
To counterattack the black-clothed men, competition-grade arrows no longer met Zhushi Jiu’s requirements.
He needed sharper arrows.
