A soldier’s heart. You don’t kill enemies with your eyes and hands—you kill with your heart, your heart.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is merely basic training for every special forces soldier. If you’re interested, feel free to come find me anytime.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Report.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Zhuang called out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doghead Gao asked with interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’d like to try shooting the beer bottles too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Zhuang said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine, go ahead. But shooting with heart isn’t easy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doghead Gao said confidently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, Doghead Gao’s expression darkened, for Xiao Zhuang had shattered the thrown bottles with his rifle, just as he had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After shooting, Xiao Zhuang glanced at Doghead Gao with a taunting look—as if to say: “What’s so hard? I can do it too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doghead Gao was about to demonstrate something even harder,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>when a voice rang out: “Report.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doghead Gao turned to see who had spoken—it was Xiwa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiwa said: “Commander, I’d like to try too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Xiwa’s dull expression, Doghead Gao thought to himself: “He probably can’t do it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doghead Gao immediately agreed—but Xiwa did it just as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had just shown off a brilliant skill in front of the entire company, only to have two men immediately replicate it—it was as if he’d been slapped twice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Doghead Gao was wrong—it wasn’t just two slaps, because soon after, two platoons volunteered to try the skill he had demonstrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though a few individuals failed, each platoon had thirty men, two platoons totaled sixty; subtracting the few who missed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>over fifty men successfully replicated Doghead Gao’s feat, leaving even Guo Jing in the back row feeling embarrassed for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The real culprits behind Doghead Gao’s humiliation were himself and Zhang Chu’an, for these two platoons’ marksmanship owed everything to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Doghead Gao himself, his expression beneath the sunglasses was stunned—had new recruits become this powerful?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Doghead Gao felt as if he’d gone to challenge someone’s dojo and been slapped over fifty times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doghead Gao forced a awkward smile: “Alright, your shooting’s decent—but what I just showed was basic marksmanship. You’re still far from mastering it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doghead Gao realized he had to show his highest level, or else if another fifty men replicated it, he’d be utterly humiliated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doghead Gao shouted to the Night Tigers: “Today, I’ll show you what true heart-driven shooting really is.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a skill Guo Jing had once shown him three years ago—he’d managed it then without a single tremor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, he’d even told Guo Jing that such a thing was child’s play, nothing difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doghead Gao drew his sidearm and fired several shots at a tree one hundred and fifty meters away; the men gathered to look—and recognized it instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one had imagined anyone besides Guo Jing could strike multiple bullets in the exact same spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the Night Tigers’ astonishment, Doghead Gao felt his pride restored somewhat,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“See? You’re still far from shooting with heart.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doghead Gao lectured the crowd loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minister Zhao praised: “Senior Doghead’s marksmanship is truly miraculous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Report.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doghead Gao turned to see who had spoken—it was Xiao Zhuang, the first to humiliate him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doghead Gao thought inwardly: “This kid won’t be able to do it too, will he? If he can, my face is lost.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he couldn’t stop Xiao Zhuang—wouldn’t that make him look afraid of a private?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Zhuang shouted: “Senior Doghead, you’re the commander of Langya Special Forces, a major—yet you only dare compete with privates? Aren’t you ashamed?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Xiao Zhuang’s words, Doghead Gao sneered: “Oh? You say I only dare compete with privates?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine. If even one man from the Night Tiger Recon Company can match what I just did, I’ll retract every word I’ve said so far.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Doghead Gao’s challenge, Lieutenant Miao wore a sly smile and shouted toward the back row:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Platoon Leader Guo, did you see Senior Doghead’s demonstration?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doghead Gao’s heart lurched—he couldn’t possibly be here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After graduation, Guo Jing had refused Langya’s invitation, saying he wanted to serve at the grassroots level and learn how to train soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To avoid forcing him to join, he hadn’t even told Doghead Gao which company Guo Jing was in—if it was Guo Jing, he had no chance of winning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, Guo Jing ran up to them and saluted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doghead Gao asked Guo Jing: “Were those shots fired by your men?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Jing nodded: “They’re my men—and Zhang Chu’an’s. He’s here too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Guo Jing drew his sidearm and fired several shots at the tree, striking the exact same spot as Doghead Gao—nine bullets in a single cluster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minister Zhao immediately praised: “The younger generation is formidable—your marksmanship is unmatched even within the entire Langya Brigade.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Jing smiled at the commander: “Commander, I just shot at stationary targets—nothing difficult.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minister Zhao asked curiously: “Can you do something even harder?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Jing said: “Alright—my men shot beer bottles. As their platoon leader, I’ll shoot the bottle caps.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Guo Jing’s request, everyone was stunned—shooting beer bottles and beer bottle caps were not remotely comparable in difficulty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some could hit flying beer bottles, but hitting flying bottle caps? No one could imagine anyone achieving that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Guo Jing proved to everyone present that he could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the crowd collected the shattered bottle caps, all were stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minister Zhao patted Doghead Gao on the shoulder and comforted him: “Don’t be down. Losing to him isn’t shameful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doghead Gao looked confused: “Why should I be ashamed? I taught Guo Jing his marksmanship—he’s my student. No matter how good he is, he’s still my student.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then pointed at the crowd triumphantly: “In terms of martial lineage, they should all call me their grandmaster.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1096,"2026-06-20T13:48:22.834Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","cd0ee3260feef42cce5d2ddad5d91c446cf9628d3395e308e32c8642102defda","from-special-forces-to-the-multiverse-chapter-25","from-special-forces-to-the-multiverse-chapter-23",205,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffrom-special-forces-to-the-multiverse-cover.jpg"]
