Daily Evolution from Mastering Tai Chi-Chapter 261 - 226: First Live Fire Test (Part 2)

Wang Ye stood by the river, taking a moment to calm himself.
"Whew— after this failed assassination attempt, the person behind it will certainly keep trying to kill me. I'll inevitably go through this again in the future... I must get used to it quickly."
With that, Wang Ye packed the rifles and several bullets he had acquired, as well as some things that looked like grenades or smoke bombs, small foldable pistols, and other strange items, into the compartment of his bag.
He then followed the scent and found Carlos, who had been tailing him all along.
At that time, Carlos was lying in the bushes on a small slope, tightly clutching a camcorder, repeatedly replaying the footage of Wang Ye dodging bullets, trying to find some clues.
But he failed to notice that
Wang Ye had somehow already crouched behind him.
Due to the considerable distance and numerous trees obstructing the view between Carlos and the assassins, creating many blind spots, he didn't witness Wang Ye swiftly taking out multiple assassins. His sports camcorder, with very low specifications, barely managed to capture the scene of Wang Ye dodging bullets.
Just as Carlos was reviewing the footage, something suddenly snatched the camcorder from his hand, crushing it into powder on the spot, and tossed it into the nearby Swallow Cave. Carlos was startled, quickly turning his head, only to find no one behind him.
"Wh-Who is it!? Come out! Come out!!"
Terrified, Carlos jumped to his feet with utmost caution,
but he scanned around and saw no sign of life.
By then, Wang Ye had already walked several hundred meters away, ready to leave the forest and return to the town.
The reason Wang Ye didn't kill Carlos was because killing Carlos at this time would make him too suspicious. Wang Ye's movements were clearly under surveillance by many, and that's why he encountered so many people when he came to the Swallow Cave to prepare. If Carlos died here, it would be easy to deduce that Wang Ye was responsible.
Killing assassins here was somewhat justifiable for Wang Ye. After all, being an assassin isn't exactly a legal profession. Even if the local police or government found out about this, they couldn't arrest Wang Ye for it. But if he killed Carlos here, Wang Ye would undoubtedly attract endless trouble. So the best course of action now was to eliminate the evidence and let Carlos go.
Acting as a law-abiding citizen is still necessary for Wang Ye.
After all, his current strength couldn't withstand collective force.

He hurried back to the hotel in the pouring rain.
Wang Ye immediately unlocked the door with his key, swiftly locked the door behind him, and removed the blood-stained clothes, soaking them in the bathroom with alcohol and laundry detergent, attempting to clean the bloodstains off.
After soaking the clothes, Wang Ye took out the rifles, along with three magazines and several loose bullets, from his bag. He opened his smartphone's Google browser and meticulously looked up how to use this type of rifle, trying to learn loading, chambering, firing, and other operational techniques following the tutorial.
Although in most countries it is not legal for residents to possess firearms, many countries or individuals with firearm licenses post videos of gun reviews and test firings online. These videos usually gather many views, causing more and more people to shoot such videos, making them easy to find. Simply searching for the right keywords will yield numerous gun review and test firing videos.
After a few minutes of learning, Wang Ye nearly mastered the usage of these firearms.
"Nice, nice. Now I can use real firearms to test my physical prowess in the future!" Wang Ye couldn't help but smile with joy.
He planned to take these rifles into the forest tonight to test his Defense Power.
In the previous battle with assassins, he had avoided bullets to minimize risk, so he wasn't actually shot by any bullets.
"But judging by speed, the power should be similar to the steel nails I throw. I just wonder if the shape of the bullet head would increase the power."
Having learned how to use the rifle, Wang Ye continued to take out other peculiar weapons from the backpack. Among them were some items that resembled grenades, smoke bombs, or flashbangs, which he didn't dare take out, fearing he might accidentally trigger some mechanism causing them to explode.
He dug out two or three sharp blades from the bag, unfastened the leather straps, and tried to slash his skin with the sharp edges, but eventually couldn't cut through. Then he pulled out three small pistols from the pack. These three pistols were very small, likely not very powerful, capable of holding only a small caliber bullet, meant for emergency use and not very practical.
Wang Ye placed the pistols back into the compartment, then continued to rummage through other supplies and weapons inside. But unfortunately, there was nothing of value left, only some auxiliary tools such as rangefinders, anemometers, binoculars, and so on.
"Besides the rifles, there's nothing of value... Oh well, I'll handle them by the river later." Wang Ye shook his head, packed all these weapons neatly into the hiking bag, and placed the bag in a more concealed corner of the cabinet, shutting the door to prevent others from discovering it.
Then, he went to the bathroom and repeatedly scrubbed the clothes until the bloodstains were thoroughly cleaned, then hung them to dry.
After finishing these tasks, Wang Ye lay on the bed. Although the previous battle wasn't very long, the excessive use of super sensing throughout resulted in significant physical and mental exhaustion. He felt an urgent need for sleep to restore his strength. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

··························
About two hours later.
Wang Ye gradually woke up.
By then, the heavy rain outside the window had gradually subsided.
Glancing at the time on his watch, Wang Ye realized that he had slept for more than two hours, more than twice his usual rest time.
"Sure enough, more exercise leads to longer sleep; my previous exercise was too low."
Leaning against the headboard, Wang Ye summoned out the system panel,
and began examining the data on the panel, lost in thought.
He noticed that after this fight, his Rushing Skill Level surged significantly.
Even more than running fifty or a hundred kilometers.
"The primary reason for gaining so much Skill Level should be the higher difficulty of running in actual combat, requiring constant redirection and maneuvering based on the situation. Additionally, maintaining a speed exceeding the limit while continuously using Super Sensing might also be a contributing factor."
Wang Ye got out of bed, walked to the window, and absorbed the faint ultraviolet energy, murmuring: "I used to be reluctant to activate Super Sensing during training because long-term activation causes too much strain and exhaustion... But now it seems, to advance rapidly, I have to use this Skill more to squeeze out potential."
After his body cells had absorbed sufficient energy, he retrieved his hiking bag and put on the dried clothes.
As night gradually fell,
Wang Ye shouldered the bag, ready to head into the forest to deal with the acquired weapons and equipment.
And conduct his first real gun test.
