67: The sky is round and the earth is square—the famous sword Siming!

After killing Shen Cangsheng, Liu Yan's kill count had reached 10.

Liu Yan looked at the ground regretfully, unsure how Xiao Soul had disappeared.

He had originally thought he could achieve big red freedom, Liu Yan lamented in his heart.

As Liu Yan turned his head, he noticed the damaged 'heaven is round, earth is square' in the corner.

"'heaven is round, earth is square'? Did he just survive by relying on this?"

Liu Yan recalled how he had shot the opponent in the forehead, and at that moment, the opponent's temple had also been hit by Shen Cangsheng's AWM.

"Taking two AWM shots head-on in a short time without a scratch, but the item is damaged... The Famous Sword of Life (Famous Blade of Fate)?!"

Liu Yan fell into deep thought, looking at the damaged 'heaven is round, earth is square' in his hand.

From the situation at the time, it was clear that 'heaven is round, earth is square' was a passively triggered item, just like the Famous Blade of Fate.

"It seems next time I'll have to treat everyone as if they have two lives..."

If, at the moment of life-or-death decision, the opponent had 'heaven is round, earth is square,' the situation would instantly be completely reversed.

Liu Yan was unsure of the invincibility duration of 'heaven is round, earth is square,' but in a gunfight, even 0.1 seconds of invincibility played a crucial role.

After securing Shen Cangsheng's AWM, Liu Yan hurried back to the Trade Bridge.

Upon returning to the tent, Liu Yan saw the two Guard Soldiers 1 and 2, who had been waiting for a long time.

"Boss, there were indeed people at the locations you mentioned. As per your instructions, we've already killed them."

Liu Yan nodded, looking at the two additional Pseudo-human corpses on the ground.

His kill count had reached 12. Eight people died at the start, subtracting Gao Tianyu's kill, 7 people died outside.

His 12 kills, plus the 7 from the start, meant 19 people had already died. Even if the remaining people hadn't killed anyone, only 11 people would be left on the field.

Subtracting himself and the vanished Xiao Soul from the 11 people left 9 people.

Even if one person got all 9 kills, plus 1 kill at the start, that would only be 10 kills.

But the gunshots hadn't stopped earlier, so most of the other people were likely killed by that particularly strong person just now.

"Shen Cangsheng of Third Academy?"

"The one with a lot of equipment should be Xiao Soul of Royal Noble Academy."

No wonder the principal had warned him to be careful from the start. But, it seemed there was one more person... Thinking this, Liu Yan shook his head. Even if he committed suicide now, he would still be stably in first place, so there was no need to exert effort to find the other person.

Inside the tent, Liu Yan sorted the equipment from the Pseudo-human corpses on the ground into different bags.

Liu Yan alone took nearly 150 rounds of Level 5 and Level 6 bullets combined.

"Help me take these bags and equipment, and follow me."

Liu Yan slung one backpack over his own shoulder, then pointed to the two other large backpacks on the ground.

"Yes, sir!"

The two Guard Soldiers each took a backpack and followed Liu Yan.

Liu Yan's extraction point for this round was Sand Path Ranch. If it weren't for the two Guard Soldiers, he might not have been able to carry all this equipment.

On the way, Liu Yan found a Soldier and used the last chance of the bust for this operation.

"No need to introduce yourself, I know you're 3." Liu Yan tossed his backpack to Soldier 3.

"Boss, we can't follow you out..." Upon reaching the extraction point, the three Soldiers all looked troubled.

"It's fine, just give me the backpacks."

Liu Yan took the backpacks from the Soldiers, carrying one on his back and one in each hand.

"Boss, there's still equipment." Saying this, the Soldiers began to take off their Level 5 suits.

"No need to take them off, just wear them. Also, one of you keep a sniper rifle."

Liu Yan suddenly remembered something and pulled several boxes of bullets from his pocket.

"Level 5 bullets, use them sparingly. If you kill someone, remember to save their equipment."

Liu Yan wasn't sure if he would ever see these three Soldiers again, but they were, after all, part of his combat power.

Five fully modified golden bullet sniper rifles would certainly give a surprise to the future operatives in ordinary Longbow Stream Valley.

"Thank you, Boss!"

"We swear to follow Liu Yan to the death!"

"For Liu Yan!"

The three Guard Soldiers looked at Liu Yan gratefully; this was a true leader!

They remembered working for Reis in a daze for so long, only to end up with the worst junk guns and tattered armor.

"Alright, be careful, don't get yourselves killed. Also, don't let others discover you. Keep your identities hidden, and don't shout 'For Liu Yan' all the time."

Liu Yan gave one last instruction, then turned and walked into the extraction point.

As Liu Yan left, Longbow Stream Valley fell silent.

But in a certain patch of grass, a faint rustling sound could be heard.

"As expected, they're all elites. They're not making any gunshots at all, which is putting a bit of pressure on me..."

"Just wait a bit longer. I've already killed one at the start. If I kill two more people in a bit, considering the survival ranking, I should be able to get a good spot."

Liu Yang of New Era Academy hadn't left this patch of grass since killing a player who landed at the same spot as him at the start.

Small insects in the grass kept flying onto Liu Yang's face, some even trying to crawl into his ears.

But even so, Liu Yang remained perfectly still.

"Hmph, as an excellent sniper, it's all about patience, and that's precisely what I'm best at!"

...New Era Academy Conference Hall.

"What is this idiot doing? He's the only one left on the entire map, and he's still crouching?"

"It's over, it's over. Our New Era Academy's reputation is completely ruined by him alone, damn it."

"That's also the principal's fault. Not picking the strong ones, insisting that Liu Yang's playstyle was the most stable. Damn it, and what's the result? He picked the one with the most bullet comments!"

Third Academy.

"Hahahaha! Awesome! I'm so thrilled, someone finally put Shen Cangsheng in his place!"

"Hahaha, did you guys see it? Did you see that sh*t-eating expression on his face before he died? Did anyone film it? Let's post it on the school forum later!"

"Which school is that buddy from? With his strength, won't the principal try to poach him to our side?"

"Heh, look for yourself, is the principal even here anymore? The principal left halfway through the match to poach people!"

Outside the school observation hall.

"See! What did I just say? This is my buddy, I told you he'd definitely be the champion!" Fuji stood up excitedly, shouting loudly in the hall.

"buddy, do you still have that business card from earlier? I want to switch to your company!"

"buddy, buddy, give me one too! I'm going too!"

Fuji smirked, opening his backpack, which was clearly filled with business cards!

"Feel free to sign up and contact me!"

After saying that, Fuji tossed his backpack into the air, and business cards scattered into every corner of the observation hall.

In the last row of the observation hall, a man in military uniform beckoned, signaling his subordinate to approach him.

"See if we can recruit those two students to our side."

After he finished speaking, the subordinate nodded and turned to leave.
