“This is normal. It’s fine so long as it doesn’t affect your shooting hand.”
Elder Gong nodded and tapped the ground with his walking stick twice. “You should practice finding back the feeling today. I won’t say much. Ruoyi, if you wish, you can also just practice here.”
Gu Qingjiu and Yin Ruoyi nodded simultaneously. “Got it, Teacher.”
Elder Gong slowly left the training hall with his walking stick.
Gu Qingjiu picked up a gun and prepared to train. Beside her, Yin Ruoyi said, “When I went back, I analyzed Cruff’s video. That first shot he fired was a judgment made because he understood that opponent very well. No one can truly predict the future.”
Gu Qingjiu raised her brows. She hadn’t thought of this back then.
But since Yin Ruoyi and Helian Niancheng made the same judgment, that proved that his observation skills were not bad.
She nodded. “Afterwards I went online and looked it up. Cruff and that French player trained at the same venue, so he definitely knows this guy’s style well.”
“In terms of bat capabilities, I don’t think that Cruff is that much stronger than I am.”
Yin Ruoyi frowned, clearly still thinking about what had happened in the international petition.
Gu Qingjiu paused, then said with a smile, “But the truth is you lost. Now everyone thinks that you’re slightly inferior to Cruff. You need to avenge yourself in the international petition three years from now and prove yourself.”
Yin Ruoyi’s handsome eyes looked in surprise towards Gu Qingjiu. “I shan’t take part in the nationwide shooting petition in October. As my junior, you’ll be letting me and Teacher down if you don’t win first place.”
Gu Qingjiu was speechless.
Of course, she wanted to win, but Gu Qingjiu was used to considering all sorts of situations.
After loading the gun with bullets, Gu Qingjiu slowly said, “Senior, I understand what you’re saying. But I don’t dare to guarantee something accidental might happen that will prevent me from winning first place. Why don’t you practice with me for now?”
Not because of other reasons, but if she trained alongside the skilled Yin Ruoyi, it would undoubtedly benefit Gu Qingjiu.
Yin Ruoyi, however, turned around and waved at her. “Forget it, you can practice here. I wish to empty my mind for awhile. I’m going home to play video games.”
Gu Qingjiu was speechless.
She couldn’t stop him.
Yin Ruoyi’s nerves had been tightly strung for too long from preparation for the international petition. Now that he had lost the petition, it was already not bad considering his mentality wasn’t much affected.
It was understandable that he would want to unwind.
But Gu Qingjiu couldn’t do the same. After Yin Ruoyi left, she started practicing.
As of now, Gu Qingjiu could freely hit the bullseye of a two-hundred-meter moving target.
100% of the time.
Especially now.
As if absorbed in thought, she looked towards the bullseye that she hit three times consecutively, then pressed the button next to her and began practicing with a circular moving target.
As the name implies, a circular moving target was a moving target that, instead of moving in a straight line, would shift 360 degrees around Gu Qingjiu.
This made for a broader range of speed and area.
As Gu Qingjiu stood at the corresponding position, not only did she have to adjust the direction, she also had to adapt her own body.
There wasn’t much time for one to shift their body in a significant way.
Moreover, the circular moving target’s speed wasn’t fixed; it might be slow when it was behind you, but when it reached a certain distance, it would rapidly speed up.
The nearest distance of a circular moving target had to be a hundred meters. Because it was too perverse, it wasn’t used in petitions.
