There’s really a Superpower like that?\" Zhang Meiling looked at Lin Xinghai, her eyes filled with curiosity and a desire for answers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is your Superpower also something that enhances your vision? The one-hundred-percent hit rate you mentioned—what Level of Zombie is that against? And within what range can you guarantee it?\" As the vice-captain, Ling Xiu immediately asked a series of crucial questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most important function of his Thousand-Mile Eye Superpower was to aid his marksmanship. If the target was an Ordinary Zombie, he, too, would dare claim a one-hundred-percent hit rate within a hundred meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was impossible against an Intermediate or High Level Zombie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zombies of that Level weren’t just fast; they also had an extremely keen sense of danger. Hitting them required more than just precision—accurate predictive abilities were even more crucial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But predictive ability was something built from a massive amount of shooting experience, which was not something his Thousand-Mile Eye Superpower could make up for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Ling Xiu’s detailed questions, Lin Xinghai had to focus, choosing his words carefully. \"My Superpower isn’t purely for enhancing vision. After activating it, I can hit Ordinary Zombies with one-hundred-percent accuracy within two hundred meters, Intermediate Zombies within one hundred meters, and High Level Zombies within fifty meters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Mutated Zombies, Lin Xinghai didn’t mention them, since encountering one meant they would definitely have to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xinghai’s answer left them all stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To them, a Superpower like that was simply incredible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The claim that he could hit a High Level Zombie with one-hundred-percent accuracy within fifty meters was particularly unimaginable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a hunting squad like theirs, which didn’t dare venture into the urban center, the greatest threat wasn’t the Mutated Zombie, but the occasional High Level Zombie that appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a High Level Zombie’s terrifying dodging ability, hitting one was almost unthinkable unless one’s Gun Technique had reached a certain standard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A comparison with Roger made this clear. He needed the cooperation of Vice-Captain Xu Hao to kill a High Level Zombie from over thirty meters away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it wasn’t that Roger couldn’t kill a High Level Zombie on his own, but that would require waiting for it to get within ten meters—or even closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that distance, it was practically hand-to-hand combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tragically, this was the method most hunting squads used to deal with High Level Zombies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just yesterday, they had run into a High Level Zombie. Their captain, Gao Mountain, was gravely injured while desperately holding it back to create a close-range opportunity for Ling Xiu to shoot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If their hunting squad had a Mercenary with the ability to kill High Level Zombies from a distance, they would be almost comparable to those newly formed Mercenary Corps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you really do that? If your Gun Technique is really so incredible, why haven’t I seen your name on the shooting leaderboards?\" Ling Xiu asked, frowning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xinghai replied, \"Because I only awakened my Superpower recently and haven’t had a chance to challenge the leaderboards.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Xiu asked, \"Then can you let us see for ourselves?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can!\" Lin Xinghai nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I don’t actually have a shooting Superpower, but I wasn’t lying about anything else. No matter what kind of test they run, it won’t be a problem.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, Ling Xiu accompanied Lin Xinghai to the shooting range on the third floor of the Mercenary Guild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Xiu had originally intended for the others to stay behind to see if any more Mercenaries wanted to join.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the rest of the group all wanted to go and watch. After a moment’s thought, Ling Xiu didn’t stop them. After all, if Lin Xinghai’s Superpower was truly as miraculous as he described, then his joining alone would be sufficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, with fewer people, everyone’s cut of the final spoils would be larger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third floor of the Mercenary Guild was filled with all sorts of training grounds, including shooting ranges, combat training areas, Gravity training rooms, Mecha piloting simulators, and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of these training grounds came with a full suite of supporting equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shooting range, for instance, provided various Firearms, moving targets, and analyzers. If necessary, you could even hire a specialized coach for instruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, we’d like to use a shooting range,\" Ling Xiu said as they approached the service desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course. What Level of training range would you like? We have Basic, Intermediate, and High Level,\" the female receptionist inquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Xiu didn’t answer, instead turning his gaze to Lin Xinghai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’d like to challenge the shooting leaderboard. What’s the procedure for that?\" Lin Xinghai said after a moment of thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Since I’m here anyway, I don’t mind getting on the leaderboard.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Besides, the Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps is about to start recruiting new members. Earning the title of Divine Sharpshooter right now should be a great help in boosting the corps’s reputation.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Challenging the shooting leaderboard has very high requirements for the moving targets. You’ll need to pay one thousand Points to open a special-grade training range,\" the female receptionist said, sticking to the official procedure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Lin Xinghai’s mouth twitched. ’That’s not a fee an ordinary person can afford!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you make it into the top one hundred on the shooting leaderboard, the challenge fee is refunded. If you can break into the top ten, you not only receive a weekly cash prize but also earn the title of Divine Sharpshooter,\" Ling Xiu added from the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to just firing a few rounds on a training range, a challenge like this would be a much better test of Lin Xinghai’s true skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, if the man could really kill a High Level Zombie from fifty meters away, that level of Gun Technique was a shoo-in for the top one hundred, so they wouldn’t have to worry about the fee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, Ling Xiu’s gaze fell upon Lin Xinghai’s face. If the man didn’t even dare to accept such a challenge, then he would have serious reservations about the truth of his claims.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he saw the deep frown on Lin Xinghai’s face instantly smooth out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, open a special-grade training range for me then!\" Lin Xinghai said, pulling out his Identity Card and transferring one thousand Points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right this way, please.\" After collecting the Points, the female receptionist began to lead the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under normal circumstances, the Mercenary Guild’s staff treated Mercenaries with a lukewarm indifference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that only referred to ordinary Mercenaries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a Mercenary Corps Leader or some particularly powerful Mercenaries came by, they would receive a certain degree of preferential treatment, almost like VIP customers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Mercenary who dared to challenge the shooting leaderboard was considered a semi-VIP, so it wasn’t strange for a staff member to personally escort them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t just the staff member, either. Even the attitudes of Ling Xiu and his group toward Lin Xinghai had started to shift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Mercenary capable of breaking into the top one hundred on the shooting leaderboard was far more valuable than a Superpower User like them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, every Mercenary Corps had at least one or two Superpower Users, but not every Mercenary Corps had a member ranked in the top one hundred on the shooting leaderboard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps, for example, the person with the best Gun Technique was Roger, and his rank on the shooting leaderboard was 138th.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was actually quite normal. After all, there were a hundred Mercenary Corps in the Star Shield Shelter alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While that meant, on average, each Mercenary Corps could have one Mercenary from the top one hundred on the shooting leaderboard...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...in reality, Mercenaries with such good Gun Technique were all targets for recruitment by the Second Level and even Third Level Mercenary Corps.\u003C\u002Fp>",1308,"2026-06-05T22:50:52.675Z",1,"novelbin.me","c3a8085a96858c50bd1b5d735fc873ca9c114f2d01e0a1f48ff050041ba21f78","invincible-through-touching-corpses-chapter-164","invincible-through-touching-corpses-chapter-163",310,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finvincible-through-touching-corpses-cover.jpg"]
