"The level should be between D-class peak and C-class," the young man said.
"Can't you determine the exact level?" Huan Yu asked.
"That's what's strange about him," the young man spoke calmly, "If you say he's C-class, he lacks a bit in speed, but if you say he's D-class peak, that's a bit too peak... However, that's not important. What is important is that his sniping capabilities are indeed very strong. You didn't see how he took down 12 drones in six seconds, which was quite insane, tsk tsk."
The young man continued, "Moreover, it's certain that the sniper rifle is not a physical object anymore. I don't know if it's an ability or a Taboo, but it's definitely not real. You don't know, that sniper rifle doesn't even need to change bullets. It's damn weird!"
"Since you observed him up close, why didn't you take action?" Huan Yu asked intently.
"If I had taken action, I would be dead by now," the young man patiently explained, "You should give me some space to grow, you know my abilities are very strong, but my level is still a bit low right now."
"Continue," Huan Yu said.
"Boss, this guy has an absolute gun sense within 400 meters. So, if you really want to kill him, get in close. Don't let him use his firearms," the young man said, "On the battlefield, actually, no one likes to encounter such masters of firearms. Over at Mossad, there is a list that specifically marks these people with absolute gun sense as the most dangerous."
"Because absolute gun sense implies countless hours of training and an untold number of lives taken. The former represents a tenacious will, while the latter is the ability to cast aside distractions," the young man made it up as he went along, "It's all very mysterious."
"Do you think Zhang San can kill him?" Huan Yu asked.
"Hard to say, depends if he has any other aces up his sleeve," said the young man as he walked towards Weiyang Lake Park, speaking as he went, "I'll stop talking for now, boss, I'm going in to watch the excitement."
Qing Chen did not go elsewhere but headed straight for the Bungee Tower, the place where he had killed dozens of Assassins.
Zhang San was a bit puzzled. He didn't understand why the Daytime Boss was heading there. Did he really have some sort of ace card?
However, regardless of whether Qing Chen had an ace in the Bungee Tower or not, Zhang San couldn't let Qing Chen get back there. People who have been in the battlefield for years know one thing well: Whatever the enemy most wants to do, whether or not you can understand why, you should never let it happen.
The distance between Zhang San and Qing Chen kept getting closer, due to the difference in their levels.
It was the most direct display of power, without any tricks.
Just as Qing Chen was fifty meters away from the Bungee Tower.
Zhang San suddenly sped up, catching up over thirty meters in just two seconds and lunged to punch Qing Chen from behind.
This time, Qing Chen, as if not bothering to defend himself at all, took the punch head-on.
However, Zhang San's fist passed right through Qing Chen's body, not causing any damage at all.
It was another illusion.
Zhang San had originally planned to force Qing Chen to turn and defend, to slow him down, but he hadn't expected Qing Chen to ignore him completely.
"How did the boy see through my illusion again? There wasn't any flaw in the footsteps," Zhang San was inwardly astonished. His ability to create illusory images could imitate all appearances, sounds, colors, and scents, without leaving any openings!
Inside, Qing Chen was extremely calm. He just kept running forward. Only by getting into the Bungee Tower would he have a glimmer of hope for survival.
The reason he didn't turn back to defend was because Zhang San's sudden burst of speed had surpassed the limits of C-class.
Qing Chen didn't believe the opponent could break through to B-class momentarily!
Thus, even an illusory image had to maintain a degree of realism. If the illusion was too exaggerated, it wouldn't be believable to someone like Qing Chen, who was familiar with many data points!
It was Zhang San's failed attempt that gave Qing Chen the opportunity to run the last fifty meters!
Qing Chen rushed into the Bungee Tower and climbed up the spiral staircase.
On the stairs, the blood spilled from the previously killed Assassins made the steps especially slippery.
His left arm and shoulder gradually regained sensation. The soreness and inflammation melded with the will transmitted by the neurons into his consciousness.
But for Qing Chen, regaining sensation was good, even if it was accompanied by pain.
He reached the top of the Bungee Tower, with Zhang San close behind.
However, just as Zhang San passed a certain 'corpse,' the body unexpectedly leapt up without warning and plunged a dagger fiercely into his abdomen.
It was lucky that Zhang San was vigilant; otherwise, that dagger would have gone into his spleen.

"It's Qing Chen, Qing Chen isn't dead," Zhang San said in fright, as his words also transmitted to Huan Yu through the Bluetooth headset.
Huan Yu was puzzled. Hadn't someone on the communication channel said they had shot Qing Chen? And afterwards, hadn't someone said Qing Chen was down?
How could he not be dead?
The situation had been too chaotic at the time. Assassins swarmed the Bungee Tower, intent on killing the sniper.
Controlling a 'Puppet,' Qing Chen fell after being shot, not because he needed to use the Puppet to buy time anymore, but because he was already prepared.
But the Puppet had not died at that moment, only shot in the large intestine. With such a wound, one could potentially live for another six hours.
