Chapter 417: Strong Flash and Sonic Boom! That Old Trickster

 A strong flash followed by a deafening sonic boom.

None of the audience expected to be attacked and hurt in such a manner.

Even the national contestants were caught off guard and blinded.

Well…

No need to guess—it had to be Ling Zhan, that old trickster, up to something again!

Only the supreme figures in the top-tier VIP seats were unaffected by this unexpected strike.

They were able to clearly see the detailed sequence of events on screen.

The culprit causing all the audience to wail in pain was none other than those three seemingly ordinary dragon sniper bullets.

All the top-tier experts saw those three bullets instantly pierce through Princess Saint Luni's Holy Light Shield without resistance.

The moment the bullets touched the shield, they erupted in a blazing white light and a devastating explosion that even made the strongest elites raise their eyebrows.

"That kid did something to those bullets!"

All the top-tier experts realized this.

Over ten seconds passed.

The blinding light, enough to blind normal people, slowly dissipated.

It was only then that the audience dared to remove their hands from their eyes and look back at the screen.

Hiss!!

But the next second.

The entire Super Arena's audience collectively gasped!

On the screen.

A blackened figure, charred like burnt coal, stood rigidly.

Aside from the magic sword and white staff in her hands, the figure's armor had completely shattered under the strain.

It looked like a completely dried-up corpse.

Whoosh!!

Naturally, the external audience immediately recognized this charred corpse as Princess Saint Luni!

"This…"

Every face was filled with shock and horror.

But what stunned them even more was…

Boom!!

In the next second, a thunderous explosion resounded!

Before anyone could determine if Princess Saint Luni was still alive, another bullet, surrounded by spiraling energy, shot forth in front of everyone's terrified gaze.

Kaboom!!

A brilliant explosion engulfed Princess Saint Luni's body once again.

This time…

The audience witnessed the entire process with their own eyes.

Their expressions grew even more horrified.

Clearly, they never imagined Ling Zhan's sniper rifle could still fire such a powerful, destructive shot in this situation!

Wasn't it said that he couldn't use skills or talents anymore?

How could these bullets still do this!?

Ridiculous!

Absolutely ridiculous!

"It's over…"

Inside the secret realm.

Staring at the blazing fire a hundred meters away, Ling Zhan let out a relaxed breath.

There was no chance for Princess Saint Luni to make a comeback.

Did they really think only other teams had trump cards?

These bullets were actually Ling Zhan's real trump card!!

Remember when Ling Zhan was designing the Beast Extinguisher form?

Back then, he spent a large amount of Heavenly Evolution Ranking points to hire two god-level auxiliary professionals to personally craft it for him.

At that time, Ling Zhan had already thought about it…

The Night Empress had suffered a major defeat at his hands.

But what if, one day, he found himself in a similar situation?

Especially in a scenario where he couldn't use skills or talents?

Melee combat was fine; with his perfect combat instinct and the powerful body tempered by the Ten Thousand Demons Breakthrough Pill, he could handle it. Among his peers, few could rival him.

But what if the opponent was a ranged fighter?

'Throwing' had high attack power bonuses, but just one 'throwing' wouldn't be enough.

So, the only option was to manipulate the weapon itself.

And conveniently, his custom dragon sniper rifle was the perfect place to start.

Because this sniper rifle allowed modifications to the bullets.

In fact…

Once weapons reached the spiritual tier—like bows, dual pistols, or machine guns—they no longer required manually loading arrows or bullets.

They would automatically generate ammo after each shot.

Just like the 'Evil Star' bow.

Ling Zhan didn't need to prepare arrows; just pull the bow, provide a small amount of mana, and an arrow would automatically form.

If he tampered with the arrows, it would be too easy to detect.

But bullets were different; it was much easier to manipulate them.

The parameters and effects of bullets could be customized and manufactured.

Back then, Ling Zhan had the two god-level professionals craft two types of bullets for him.

Special enchanted bullets for the shotgun and sniper rifle.

The sniper bullets' enchantments included 'Strong Flash' + 'Sonic Boom Impact' + 'Explosive Gunpowder' + 'Corrosive Poison' + 'Silencing Powder' + 'Super Paralysis Liquid' + 'Super Dissolving Liquid'.

The shotgun bullets had similar effects.

It's worth noting…

All these bullet enchantments were made with S-rank rare materials.

Ling Zhan might not have much of anything else, but he had plenty of rare S-rank enchantment materials.

Earlier, when Ling Zhan deliberately removed the sniper magazine and reloaded it, he was actually using a sleight of hand.

'Steal the Sky and Swap the Sun.'

This wasn't a skill.

It was a magic trick.

Some unscrupulous people also liked to use it at the card table.

When Ling Zhan wasn't reading or training, he would occasionally fiddle with little magic tricks.

Now, with his enhanced reflexes and speed, pulling off these tricks became even easier.

The reason no one questioned his reloading action…

Was because, during his previous battle with Princess Saint Lucy, Ling Zhan had purposely made this same move.

When facing Princess Saint Lucy's approach.

Ling Zhan had even openly unloaded the magazine and reloaded it in front of everyone.

At that time, it had even prompted some comments from the audience.

It gave the impression that 'reloading was just a pointless move.'

This time…

Ling Zhan once again performed that unnecessary action in front of everyone.

At the same time, using the 'Steal the Sky and Swap the Sun' magic trick, he quickly loaded the magazine with special S-rank enchanted bullets.

Earlier, Princess Saint Lucy had crushed Ling Zhan's bullets with ease…

Which led Princess Saint Luni to completely let her guard down.

This opportunity had to be seized.

To ensure his opponent was completely incapacitated and didn't survive due to some beneficial buffs, Ling Zhan fired three consecutive shots.

The three special enchanted bullets, with the effect of 'Super Dissolving Liquid' dissolving the defensive shield, pierced through the Holy Light Shield and struck Princess Saint Luni's body.

The first shot triggered Princess Saint Luni's Angelic Protection.

The second and third shots thoroughly ravaged Princess Saint Luni.

No one could have expected this outcome.

But this time, the audience felt somewhat relieved.

Because they now knew that Ling Zhan, the trickster, had tampered with the bullets!
