Illimitable Until Death

Chapter 726: IUD-Chapter 723 Just Because I’m Aria’s Partner

“Ooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh————!”

Amidst the loud cheers, the surrounding students finally started clapping in unison, and the applause thundered through the area.

At the same time, Ranbyou announced loudly.

“Fang Li hit count: 100.”

“Watson hit count: 99.”

“Fang Li wins!”

Ranbyou’s announcement, like tossing a spark into the cheering crowd, set off a new wave of discussions among the spectators.

“To get 199 hits out of 100 targets, who would believe that if it were told outside?”

“This could practically be written into a textbook as a showcase.”

“Both of them are amazing.”

“But it’s clear that Fang Li has the upper hand.”

“Yeah.”

“That guy’s been a monster since the beginning.”

“Poor Watson San, of all the opponents to choose, why pick a workaholic?”

“Exactly.”

The continuous murmurs from the crowd made Aria smile, her chest puffed out with pride as if it was her who won rather than Fang Li.

Of course, if Aria were the winner, she probably wouldn’t be as pleased as she was now.

After all, Aria had always seemed indifferent about her own achievements, showing more joy when her partner, Fang Li, excelled.

However, for Watson, this situation was far from pleasant.

“Hmm…”

At this moment, Watson’s face was filled with regret.

Only Fang Li’s calm voice broke the silence.

“Accurately keeping track of your remaining ammunition is something every Butei is taught on their first day. For a Butei, each bullet is closely tied to their safety and the final outcome.”

“It’s a pity that even a top-notch Butei like you seems to have forgotten such basics.”

In fact, Watson had not made this mistake before.

Considering it, it made sense.

There were 100 targets.

But neither Fang Li nor Watson had 100 bullets.

Therefore, during the shooting, both had to change magazines as quickly as possible when their bullets ran out, to maintain the incredible battle scene.

Before this, Watson had done well, calculating precisely when his bullets would run out.

Without needing confirmation, he changed magazines at the fastest speed when the last bullet was fired.

Fang Li was the same.

However, at the critical moment, Watson had forgotten this.

“This is the result of being too obsessed with winning.”

Fang Li’s words made Watson bite his lip in regret.

The look of regret was almost like a little girl on the verge of a tantrum.

It was only then that Watson noticed something.

“Could it be that…” Watson murmured, “You anticipated that I would destroy the sprinkler system and use that method?”

Hearing this, Fang Li simply smirked and said with a smile.

“It was pretty obvious that you were staring at the sprinkler system on the ceiling. It was easy to guess.”

In other words, Watson had lost even before using his final tactics.

“You… don’t get too proud.” Watson glared at Fang Li and said, “The Watson Family has always been a family of doctors. Using various medications to turn the situation in our favor is the real skill of the Watson Family. Shooting is just one of the methods in combat.”

What Watson was trying to say was very clear.

In other words, Watson wanted to tell Fang Li that his true skills were not limited to shooting and that he had not yet used his full strength.

But this was the same for Fang Li.

“Indeed, shooting is just one method in combat.” Fang Li glanced at Watson and smiled.

“The reason I obtained the title of ‘Gun Magician,’ I believe you understand.”

Watson was instantly left speechless.

Yes.

Fang Li earned the title of ‘Gun Magician’ not because of his prowess with the shooting skills but because of his signature technique, the Invisible Bullet.

The essence of this title was the ability to make the opponent unable to discern when he would draw his gun or shoot and to be hit unknowingly and instantly defeated.

That was the origin of the title ‘Gun Magician.’

Shooting was merely a means.

Of course, Watson did not know that even the title ‘Gun Magician’ was merely a ruse.

It was precisely because his opponent was a ‘Gun Magician’ that Watson had a chance to compete.

If his opponent had been the ‘Murdering Demon of Nanaya,’ Watson wouldn’t have had the slightest chance of success.

That was when Fang Li was truly terrifying.

So Watson had only seen a small part of Fang Li’s capabilities.

Thus, Watson took a deep breath to calm himself.

“I admit, you are indeed very impressive.” Watson looked directly at Fang Li and said, “But I won’t concede.”

With that, Watson immediately tried to leave.

In the past, Fang Li would have let Watson go.

After all, Fang Li had no interest in humiliating a defeated foe.

However, this time, Fang Li spoke up.

“Watson.” Fang Li addressed Watson.

“For the foreseeable future, you are not allowed to pursue Aria any longer.”

The firm tone made Watson freeze on the spot.

“Fang Li?” Aria was also stunned.

Even the surrounding students were left in shock, unable to react for a while.

Fang Li’s demeanor, previously indifferent, now took on a serious tone as he finally faced Watson head-on.

“If you pursue Aria again, don’t blame me for being impolite.”

The calm words sent a chill down Watson’s spine.

But alongside the chill came a surge of anger.

“You…” Watson said furiously, “On what basis do you make this decision?”

“Just because I’m Aria’s partner.” Fang Li looked at Watson and said, “She chose me, not you. If you can’t prove you’re better than me, you have no right to keep pursuing her.”

“I haven’t even used my full strength yet!” Watson immediately retorted.

“What just happened was only shooting!”

“So, you can challenge me to a duel anytime you want,” Fang Li said indifferently.

“Unless you can beat me, you have no privilege to pursue Aria.”

Watson was finally at a loss for words.

But his gaze towards Fang Li was filled with enmity.

After a moment, Watson silently turned and left.

The remaining onlookers were left staring at each other in bewilderment.

Fang Li and Aria exchanged a glance and then smiled simultaneously.

One smiled calmly.

The other smiled with delight.
