Daily Evolution from Mastering Tai Chi-Chapter 262 - 227: Once Fear Prevails, You Become Its Slave

Night fell deeply.

The torrential rain continued relentlessly.

Wang Ye, carrying a backpack, ventured into the depths of the jungle alone.

He extended his hand and slightly activated the Primordial Qi within him, covering his palm to form a layer of Vajra Indestructible Gang Qi. Gradually, the raindrops pooling in his palm began to evaporate, turning into steam and disappearing. The subsequent rainfall seemed to be isolated by a thin film, unable to land on his hand.

Realizing that the Gang Qi could also repel rain, he continued to cover his whole body with this layer of Gang Qi, forming a raincoat to prevent the rainwater from soaking his clothes and causing discomfort.

Soon, Wang Ye took a rifle from his bag, skillfully attaching a magazine loaded with bullets at the bottom. He attempted to press the trigger, shooting a bullet at a cedar tree five meters in front of him.

The rain was now loud, with the raindrops pattering on the leaves, accompanied by the thunderous claps in the clouds, sounding like a battlefield filled with cannon fire. So he wasn't worried about the sound of his bullets reaching the town. Even continuous firing would be mistaken for thunder.

The bullet swiftly ejected from the rifle's chamber and disappeared into the trunk of the cedar tree.

Wang Ye's body barely trembled.

Although the rifle's recoil was strong, most of it was absorbed by the Gang Qi on his body surface,

leaving the remaining recoil his body endured almost imperceptible.

After trying one shot, Wang Ye suddenly found it addictive.

He continued to fire several shots in succession.

Bang bang bang bang!

Soon, black smoke began to waft from the muzzle, and the rifle's body and barrel started to heat up.

Wang Ye raised the rifle, blew the black smoke from the barrel,

walked up to the cedar tree, and touched the bullet holes he had made.

During his successive firing, he discovered that the "10% Penetration Power Enhancement" trait of the Throwing Skill seemed to also apply to the rifle bullets.

Though the change was subtle, Wang Ye's Microscopic Focus vision could still observe that the bullets' speed significantly increased the moment they left the chamber.

Realizing this, Wang Ye couldn't help but smile.

He suddenly understood that using a gun to shoot is essentially similar to the act of throwing. Because the principle of shooting is activated by the firing pin inside the gun striking the primer to ignite the gunpowder in the bullet, rapidly expelling the bullet, similar to the principle of using the arm to throw an object.

Thus, the traits of the Soul Chaser skill could likewise be applicable to shooting. Conversely, shooting practice could also enhance the skill level of the Soul Tracking Skill. This meant he could improve his skills through shooting, and the effect should be even better.

Wang Ye also suddenly realized that as his various skill levels improved, the range of activities covered by these skills also broadened. For instance, by training only the Soul Chaser skill, he could simultaneously enhance the abilities of Throwing, shooting, archery, and so on. By training Climbing, he could also improve skills in rock climbing, ice climbing, street fitness, and other activities.

As he continued to train, the content of his training would become increasingly pure. Eventually, only the most widely applicable skill would remain.

After thoroughly enjoying the shooting.

Wang Ye turned the muzzle of the gun.

He pointed the rifle at his own chest.

And pulled the trigger.

Boom!

Immediately, a powerful impact and a needle-like pain emanated from his chest.

The feeling was like wearing a bulletproof vest to block the bullet,

though something blocked it, the impact still had to be endured.

Wang Ye touched his chest and felt a still-warm, flattened bullet.

He wondered if it was an illusion, but it seemed this bullet wasn't as powerful as his full-strength throw.

At least when he used all his strength to throw a fruit knife, he could draw blood.

This rifle bullet, however, couldn't even break through his defense.

Wang Ye continued firing several more shots at himself.

He kept firing at one spot on his chest.

Finally,

after twelve continuous shots aimed at one spot, his skin was finally pierced, oozing bright red blood.

It seemed that the threat of rifles to him was indeed minimal,

as it took twelve shots to barely break his defense.

In real combat, enemies rarely aim at one spot to shoot. Besides extremely skilled snipers, most adversaries shoot randomly.

This meant that during the day, when facing assassins, Wang Ye did not have to take great pains to dodge bullets; it was difficult for them to harm him.

Thinking of this, Wang Ye's sense of safety increased significantly.

Under the current circumstances, unless the assassins used a large-caliber sniper rifle aimed at his head, it was difficult for them to pose a threat.

Wang Ye continued to shoot until the bullets were spent, further training his Vajra Indestructible.

Then he took all these leftovers to the side of the river in the jungle.

Threw them together into the rushing, muddy river,

which soon with the current, vanished downstream.

In the days that followed.

Wang Ye trained in Running under the torrential rain during the day. At night, he trained in Flying and Vajra Indestructible in the jungle.
