Chapter 625: Chapter 623 Oh My, Holy Sh*t [4th Update for Alliance Hierarch Xing]

Lu Xiaobu and Qiu Yuelun almost simultaneously stepped onto the balance beam.

However, because the balance beam’s speed limitation isn’t that significant, Qiu Yuelun’s speed advantage came into play!

In just a moment, he had opened up a gap with Lu Xiaobu!

At that time, the soldiers who had long been ready with Water Dragon Guns on both sides, immediately turned on the switches!

Bursts of high-pressure water shot toward Qiu Yuelun and Lu Xiaobu from both sides!

Qiu Yuelun handled it with experienced ease, responding agilely!

Jumping, accelerating, dodging, or retreating!

Beneath his feet, the narrow balance beam seemed to transform into an expansive ground, as if it allowed him to dance!

Watching his performance, almost like a practiced drill, the surrounding soldiers burst into applause!

"Good! Well done!"

"The Company Commander is just as formidable as ever!"

"Of course, our Company Commander is the record holder, no one else compares!"

"I guess that rich Young Master... uh... holy shit!"

A soldier glanced at Lu Xiaobu and suddenly froze, cursing out loud.

"What happened?" the other soldiers turned to look as well.

And then!

"Holy shit!"

"Holy shit!"

"Holy mother of shit!"

They collectively swore!

Because, do you know what Lu Xiaobu was doing?

He was running!

Maybe you’d say, what’s so special about running!

Yes, running isn’t anything special, but those Water Dragon Guns that even Qiu Yuelun had to dodge, Lu Xiaobu didn’t dodge at all!

Every time he took a step, the Water Dragon Gun would hit just the right spot where his foot was yet to land!

Is this freaking sorcery?!

Or is it that the soldier above is going easy on him?!

However, when they saw the sweat-drenched, anxious and upset soldier, they entirely dismissed the possibility of him going easy!

Can’t you see that kid’s about to cry!

How could he possibly be going easy?!

But if it isn’t going easy, then how is he doing this?!

Does he have precognition?! Or is the Goddess of Fortune his wife?!

Such a simple move, but as the saying goes, ’Great skill appears simple,’ it’s an advanced version of Qiu Yuelun Company Commander’s flamboyant maneuvers!

Company Commander Qiu Yuelun has told them more than once that he pursues this very state.

And now, it freaking appears right here, on a rich Young Master!

You tell me they’re not shocked stiff?!

Forget them, even Qiu Yuelun, who never gets distracted during training, got such a scare that he almost got hit by the Water Dragon Gun!

They all cried out in shock, but to Lu Xiaobu, it seemed as simple as drinking water or eating.

Because the trajectory of the Water Dragon Gun appeared crystal clear in his eyes.

With that, he knew exactly where it would hit.

So, all he needed to do was to slightly enlarge or shorten his stride, and that would be all.

Why dodge? Is there a need?

It’s like a rabbit passing in front of you; it takes a lot of effort to catch it, and you might even have to wait until it sleeps.

But if it were a tortoise?

You could catch it whenever you want; you can even let it walk a couple more steps before you slowly catch it!

In this way, under the stunned gaze of everyone, Lu Xiaobu and Qiu Yuelun almost reached the second challenge at the same time.

Right, the second challenge is scaling a wall.

Without saying much, you all know it’s a wooden wall as tall as a building, jump up there and flip over.

However, it wasn’t over yet.

The real difficulty of this challenge is the gunman on each side watching Lu Xiaobu and them, or to be precise, watching the very top of the wooden wall!

As soon as someone’s hands appeared there, they would immediately open fire!

Of course, they weren’t using live ammunition but rubber bullets!

But even with rubber bullets, if they hit your fingertips, where the pain is said to pierce the heart, you can imagine the feeling!

That’s where the sadistic part of this challenge lies!

Qiu Yuelun, familiar with the path, leapt and grabbed the very top of the wooden wall.

Logically, at this point one would push off from the wall with both legs and then climb up.

However.

Qiu Yuelun did push with his legs, but not upwards, instead, he pushed backwards.

In the air, he rolled backward and flipped out.

And at that moment.

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out, and a rubber bullet harshly hit the spot where Qiu Yuelun had just grabbed!

Had Qiu Yuelun not flipped out, that rubber bullet would have hit his hand!

This was a contest of vision and psychology!

Of course, you can wait until the gunmen have used up their bullets to cross.

But by then, the dish will be cold!

So, you have to figure out your own method!

Qiu Yuelun’s method was to flip in mid-air.

After landing, he charged up a second time.

Almost no different from before, he rolled again, but this time he didn’t retreat. Instead, during the gap between gunshots, he just stretched out his hand in the air, leveraged himself, and leapt out!

"Bang bang!"

Two consecutive rubber bullets missed him.

"Damn! The Company Commander’s speed has gotten faster!"

"Yeah! Looks like he could break the record this time!"

"Usually, it takes more than three tries to succeed! But today, he did it on the first try! Impressive, my bro!"

"Maybe he’s just in good form today."

"Hey, you guys think that rich Young Master over there... holy shit!"

Another soldier exploded with profanity!

This time, he had evolved from dumbfounded to utterly baffled!

Is this even possible!?

The others, upon seeing this, instantly went crazy too!

"What the hell is he doing?!"

"Has his brain short-circuited?!"

"Does he even know what this thing is?!"

"Motherfucker!"

"..."

Do you know why all the soldiers went nuts?

Because!

Lu Xiaobu didn’t dodge or hide at all; he just climbed straight up stubbornly.

The soldiers instinctively covered their eyes.

Many of them had been hit before and knew all too well what that kind of pain felt like!

They even thought Lu Xiaobu would definitely be reduced to tears!

However.

"Bang!"

Direct hit!

Everyone instinctively blinked.

But none of what they imagined happened!

Lu Xiaobu was hit once, and yet, as if nothing had happened, he just continued to climb up.

"Damn! That’s badass!?"

"Awesome! Hit by a bullet and he doesn’t even cry out in pain? Not even a frown? That’s almost like Guan Erye enduring bone-scraping treatment!"

"So harsh on himself?!"

"But has he misunderstood something? There’s no rule that says only one bullet is fired!"

"..."

Just as they finished speaking, they heard...

"Bang bang bang!"

A series of rubber bullets were fired at Lu Xiaobu!

Yet, Lu Xiaobu remained expressionless and unfazed, as if someone else was being hit, and clumsily, even somewhat awkwardly, flipped over!

Yep, he was a few seconds faster than the fancy Qiu Yuelun, the Company Commander.

Everyone was freaking out!
