Ch. 151Chapter 151

Qin Su silenced the Class of 24 students who challenged his authority by defeating Ding Yutang in seconds, then made Team 1 Group 1 reenact the harm caused by their command mistakes. The other groups became wary of their own choices as training continued, while Ding Yutang wondered whether Qin Su had gone easy on him.

  • Class of 24 students objected to Qin Su's punishments, but Qin Su reminded them that he was in charge and challenged anyone to make him change his mind by force.
  • Ding Yutang stepped forward to defend the Class of 24's dignity, and Qin Su sent him crashing into the Barrier Device with a single blow.
  • With no one else willing to challenge him, Qin Su ordered Phoenix to recreate the injuries he had suffered on Group 1's second problem solver, and Team 1 Group 1 members received retribution for their mistakes.
  • Team 2 Group 2 and the students watching became more cautious, realizing that their decisions as commanders could bring consequences upon them.
  • After recovering, Ding Yutang returned to his team and wondered aloud whether Qin Su had gone easy on him.

Ch. 152Chapter 152

Qin Su oversaw the Class of 24’s grueling problem-solving exercise and rejected Ding Yutang’s request to teach He Muzhi. He Muzhi received Qin Su’s help with his strength rankings, while Ding Yutang left humiliated and turned to seek answers from He Muzhi.

  • Ding Yutang insisted that Qin Su’s gentle move before sending him flying meant he had a chance with him, while the other students dismissed his self-assurance.
  • Qin Su monitored the students and updated his rankings as the problem-solving exercise continued until late at night, then told the remaining groups to return the next morning.
  • After the exercise, Ding Yutang rushed to Qin Su and asked whether he could teach He Muzhi, but Qin Su refused, believing Ding Yutang and He Muzhi were unsuited to spending time together.
  • He Muzhi showed Qin Su his strength-ranking document and asked about the senior students on his list; Qin Su quickly sent him a completed table.
  • Ding Yutang noticed the other students’ reactions, defended himself by pointing out that he alone had faced Qin Su, and decided to ask He Muzhi why Qin Su had rejected him.

Ch. 153Chapter 153

He Muzhi dismissed Ding Yutang’s attempt to undermine his trust in Qin Su, while Qin Su’s brutal training of the Class of 24 earned him plenty of resentment. As a new round of training began, Qin Su sent Class 6 to the back to give the other Class of 26 classes a chance to compete, leaving them alarmed at the prospect.

  • Ding Yutang confronted He Muzhi about Qin Su refusing to let him teach He Muzhi, but He Muzhi said he trusted Qin Su’s decision and believed he was already learning from Halton.
  • Qin Su put the students through increasingly intense group exercises and competitions, then dismissed the losing Team 2 without punishment after the fifth day.
  • After Qin Su left, Zhou Qian and the Class of 24 students discussed their relief and prepared to host another group of Class of 26 students the following week.
  • When the next training week began, Qin Su told Class 6 that all twenty Class of 26 classes should share the chance to compete, and Class 6 agreed to stay out of the way.
  • Lailisi told the other classes that Qin Su had instructed Class 6 to give them their moment, leaving the students worried about facing the Class of 24 without Class 6 taking the lead.

Ch. 154Chapter 154

Qin Su kept Class 6 out of the rotating competitions, leaving the other nineteen classes of the Class of 26 to lose repeatedly while they trained with the Class of 24. After two months, Zhang Minglang announced that Class 6 would join the First Military Academy’s Class 6 for the semester’s final Purge mission.

  • Lailisi, Lin Yin, and Samuel refused their classmates’ requests to persuade Qin Su to withdraw from the competition, and the nineteen classes chose one representative each to compete without Class 6.
  • The nineteen classes of the Class of 26 lost to the Class of 24 by 5:15, while Qin Su left and the others assumed he was disappointed in them.
  • Qin Su continued to ban Class 6 from later competitions, and the nineteen classes repeatedly lost while pursuing training advice from Class of 24 students.
  • After the final rotation, the Command major students realized Qin Su had singled out their major, and students speculated online about the reasons.
  • Two months later, Zhang Minglang told Class 6 that its final Purge mission would be a joint mission with Class 6 of the First Military Academy.

Ch. 155Chapter 155

The Fourth Military Academy’s Class 6 learned it would be paired with the First Military Academy’s Class 6 for an extermination mission, and Qin Su prepared for the encounter at Erato Planet. When the First Military Academy deliberately occupied the landing platform, Qin Su appeared at the open hatch of his spaceship as his classmates gathered behind him.

  • Zhang Minglang announced that Class 6 would work near the First Military Academy’s Class 6, and Sophia and Raymond warned their classmates about the other academy’s dangerous, influential students.
  • Qin Su and He Muzhi compiled and shared a list of the First Military Academy’s Class 6, including photos and Qin Su’s danger ratings, for their classmates to study.

  • Fourth Military Academy Class 6 collected the wreckage and piled it in front of their rivals while Onion warned his classmates not to provoke Qin Su.
  • Aiseboer watched the video on the forum and pinched his philtrum to stop his eyes from rolling back.

Ch. 157Chapter 157

Aiseboer turned Qin Su’s retaliation against the First Military Academy into a StarNet campaign, protecting his own position while boosting Qin Su’s Life Points. As the First Military Academy’s Class 6 endured Onion’s fearful orders at Jump Point 3219, Qin Su finally sent the Fourth Military Academy’s Class 6 to make them begin the cleansing mission, leaving Onion’s people convinced they were about to be killed.

  • Aiseboer ordered Fourth Military Academy staff to spread edited videos and posts portraying the First Military Academy as the aggressor, and suggested its early arrival at Jump Point 3219 showed it had broken the rules.
  • Qin Su recognized Aiseboer’s campaign as an attempt to protect himself, appreciated the help, and altered the Deep Robot’s StarNet data to gain more Life Points.
  • Onion used Kangnafu and nine others as a test, then arranged the First Military Academy’s Class 6 around himself as they cautiously retreated and prepared for danger.

  • The Fourth Military Academy’s Class 6 raced toward the First Military Academy’s ship with weapons in hand, and Onion’s classmates feared Qin Su had ordered them to kill anyone who refused to leave.

Ch. 158Chapter 158

Qin Su forced First Military Academy Class 6 out of their Spaceship, seized their supplies and Onion’s Warships, and sent both classes along his planned route to begin the purge mission. The groups crossed the barrier into the frozen landscape, where Qin Su halted them after spotting strange, crack-like things covering a glacier.

  • Fourth Military Academy Class 6 formed a combat-ready formation and knocked on First Military Academy Class 6’s hatch, frightening the students inside.
  • Onion ordered the hatch opened, and He Muzhi relayed Qin Su’s order for First Military Academy Class 6 to carry out the purge mission.
  • Qin Su used his Optical Brain to transfer First Military Academy’s supplies onto the Warships and took weapons and food for Fourth Military Academy; he also commandeered Onion’s Warships.
  • Qin Su sent both classes his planned route and used the Spaceship’s guns to make First Military Academy Class 6 leave the platform first, then led Fourth Military Academy out after them.
  • After half an hour in the freezing landscape, Qin Su spotted crack-like things spread across a glacier and signaled everyone to stop.

Ch. 159Chapter 159

Qin Su led Class 6 of the Fourth Military Academy through an extermination of Qiangbingman while Onion fled ahead with most of Class 6 of the First Military Academy. After an earthquake split the ground and Onion fell into a chasm, Qin Su arrived above him, leaving Onion's fate uncertain.

  • Qin Su assigned extermination routes and groups, then guided Class 6 of the Fourth Military Academy to attack the large Qiangbingman infesting a hollowed iceberg.
  • Onion led most of Class 6 of the First Military Academy away, while several students stayed behind and later joined the Fourth Military Academy in killing smaller Qiangbingman.
  • Class 6 of the Fourth Military Academy destroyed the large Qiangbingman, causing the weakened iceberg to collapse, then confronted the First Military Academy students for killing smaller prey meant for local residents.
  • A violent disturbance cracked the ground as the Fourth Military Academy students approached the First Military Academy group, and Qin Su hurried toward its source.
  • Onion used his pheromones to force classmates blocking his way to their knees, but the path collapsed beneath him; he caught an icicle and saw Qin Su standing above him.

Ch. 160Chapter 160

Qin Su assessed the Kerr Armored Scorpion emerging beneath the ice while refusing to rescue Onion, whose classmates also abandoned him. As the Scorpion broke free and the First Military Academy’s principal arrived, Onion lost both legs and fell into a glacier fissure, prompting Middleton and others to dive after him.

  • Qin Su studied the damage caused by the First Military Academy’s bombardment and realized it had awakened a Kerr Armored Scorpion beneath the ice, threatening the local residents’ safe zone.
  • Onion begged Qin Su to save him, but Qin Su moved away to survey the terrain and prepare a place to trap the Scorpion; the First Military Academy students refused to help Onion.
  • He Muzhi and Class 6 reached Qin Su just as the Kerr Armored Scorpion broke through the ice, while an enormous First Military Academy spaceship arrived and disrupted the Fourth Military Academy students’ Warships.
  • The Scorpion’s pincer swept across Onion’s legs, severing them, and Onion fell into a widening fissure as Middleton and others plunged after him to rescue him.

Ch. 161Chapter 161

Onion died after falling into a fissure, and First Military Academy Principal Middleton abandoned the rescue after nearly being killed by the Kerr Armored Scorpion. Middleton then confronted Qin Su and aimed a weapon at the injured Temple, while He Muzhi stepped in to stop him.

  • Qin Su ordered Fourth Military Academy Class 6 to retreat as Middleton frantically attacked the fissure where Onion had fallen, drawing the Kerr Armored Scorpion’s assault.
  • Middleton’s soldiers died while searching for Onion, and Middleton withdrew after the scorpion nearly killed him, leaving Onion behind.

Ch. 162Chapter 162

Aiseboer revived the Fourth Military Academy’s dormant livestream account and broadcast the confrontation between He Muzhi and Middleton to the Federation and beyond, forcing Middleton to put away his weapon. He Muzhi brought Temple aboard and, following Qin Su’s orders, kept the First Military Academy under the livestream’s watch as both sides moved toward the Kerr Armored Scorpion.

  • Zhang Minglang revived Aiseboer with a stimulant, and Aiseboer ordered a wide-reaching livestream under a sensational title about Qin Su and Middleton competing over the Kerr Armored Scorpion.
  • Aiseboer handed control of the livestream to He Muzhi and told staff to show everything without blind spots, while Qin Su realized the broadcast had dragged him into the confrontation.
  • As the livestream opened, Middleton put away his weapon aimed at Temple, and viewers across the Federation and beyond saw the tense standoff.
  • He Muzhi ended his call with his grandfather, then asked Qin Su for permission to bring Temple along; Qin Su agreed, and Jeffrey and Sophia helped Temple aboard the warship.
  • Middleton suspected Qin Su had engineered the public pressure, while He Muzhi redirected the scene toward the Kerr Armored Scorpion and kept the camera on the First Military Academy.
  • Qin Su ordered He Muzhi to give viewers a clear look at every First Military Academy member, and He Muzhi moved the livestream closer as Middleton’s people wondered how to respond.

Ch. 163Chapter 163

Middleton tried to sabotage Qin Su’s plan to lure the Kerr Armored Scorpion into a terrain trap, while Qin Su’s classmates pretended to struggle against First Military Academy’s interference. After Qin Su’s deception drew Middleton away, Qin Su reached the depression he had chosen as the creature’s resting place, though the outcome of his plan remained uncertain.

  • Middleton publicly promised to protect Erato’s residents, then sent most of First Military Academy’s Class 6 students toward the front lines as expendable fighters.
  • Qin Su secretly shared his route plan with Fourth Military Academy’s Class 6 and ordered them to act as if First Military Academy’s soldiers were thwarting their efforts to lure the Kerr Armored Scorpion.
  • Middleton countered their apparent plan by directing his soldiers to drive the creature toward a less suitable area, while Qin Su’s classmates performed outrage and Qin Su secretly rescued them from danger.

  • Qin Su used a First Military Academy ship to block Middleton, then reached the depression he had chosen as the Kerr Armored Scorpion neared its destination.

Ch. 164Chapter 164

Qin Su used the First Military Academy's spaceship to collapse the ice and bury the Kerr Armored Scorpion, then escaped the abyss and left with Class 6. The First Military Academy was stranded without its spaceship and had to face the prospect of meeting Qin Su and Class 6 again at the Jump Point.

  • Middleton and the First Military Academy dodged the approaching spaceship while Qin Su positioned himself beneath it and prepared layers of protection.
  • Qin Su told Class 6 to retreat, then dropped the spaceship into the hollowed ice, causing the ground to collapse and the Kerr Armored Scorpion to fall into the resulting abyss.

Ch. 166Chapter 166

After the First Military Academy abandoned a student’s corpse and fled the Jump Platform, Qin Su’s classmates interpreted the incident as a lesson in ruthlessness, while Qin Su rested and let them finish the purge without him. Back at the Fourth Military Academy, rumors falsely blamed him for crippling Aiseboer, who then asked Qin Su to shield him from meeting demands; Qin Su agreed and examined the network of people he could influence.

  • Cui Yan’s nephew was accused of trying to assassinate Middleton, and Cui Yan threw the student’s corpse from the Jump Platform after the First Military Academy’s survivors refused to take it aboard.
  • He Muzhi recorded Cui Yan and the people who had blocked him, while Class 6 decided Qin Su had meant for them to learn ruthlessness from Middleton.

Ch. 167Chapter 167

Aiseboer saw powerful Federation figures stop targeting him after Qin Su intervened, while He Muzhi and Halton parted ways after discussing Halton’s choice to join the He Family. During the vacation, factions purged the remaining Zerg, and the chapter ended with Xuan Jingcheng arriving at the First Military Academy and learning that it had fallen into disgrace.

  • Aiseboer confirmed that Qin Su’s influence had reached the superiors of the people who sent him messages, and he began imagining Fourth Military Academy becoming the First Military Academy.
  • He Muzhi saw Temple off with the He Family, then spoke with Halton, who said he had rejected other military districts to accept a position arranged by the He Family.

  • Xuan Jingcheng transferred into the First Military Academy early, introduced himself as a member of the Xuan Family’s main family, and asked why the campus was nearly empty.
  • The students mocked Xuan Jingcheng and told him he was out of touch, but he asked them to explain what had happened to the First Military Academy.

Ch. 168Chapter 168

Xuan Jingcheng used the First Military Academy’s decline as cover to kill five students, while Qin Su avoided choosing a destination for the Fourth Military Academy’s merger. As the merger decision approached, He Muzhi worried over Qin Su’s absence and Temple’s departure, and the academies’ leaders faced the final choice between the First and Fourth Military Academies.

  • Qin Su took leave until the merger was complete and saw that Xuan Jingcheng had returned under a new name and identity, then noted that the First Military Academy would likely be merged into a bottom-tier academy.
  • The merger was confirmed, and Fourth Military Academy students debated whether the school should choose prestige or sentiment as Qin Su remained absent and He Muzhi could not locate him.
  • He Muzhi told Lailisi, Lin Yin, and Samuel that Temple had left without warning and admitted he had begun to consider a relationship with him; Lin Yin reassured him that people could have more than one kind of bond.
  • The Fourth Military Academy’s leaders gathered around a screen displaying the First Military Academy and Fourth Military Academy as they faced the final merger choice.

Ch. 169Chapter 169

Aiseboer held a real-name vote, and the Fourth Military Academy won the merger with the Zerg Fourth Military Academy, prompting its relocation. While Qin Su prepared for the move and planned how to advance He Muzhi’s future, he secretly reassigned Xuan Jingcheng to a distant planet.

  • Aiseboer revealed that Qin Su had not given him or the other interested parties an answer, then made the meeting vote on which academy would receive the Zerg Fourth Military Academy.

  • Qin Su finished rendering the Fourth Military Academy and began preparing a list of outstanding students from the Class of 26.
  • Xuan Jingcheng was sent with other Class of 27 students to the remote 299th Military Academy on Leichakan, while the relocated students from the former Zerg Fourth Military Academy were assigned to classes at the new Fourth Military Academy.
  • Qin Su used the training-ground broadcast to invite students from the Class of 26 to join Class 6 and directed them to the 66F Zone before eight o'clock.
  • The announcement sent students rushing toward the 66F Zone, while Class 6 worried that Qin Su planned to replace or dismiss them; He Muzhi urged them to follow and find out.
  • Qin Su waited on a raised platform as the crowd gathered, maintaining a cold demeanor and secretly lowering the temperature to heighten his imposing presence.
  • The current Fourth Military Academy principal asked Aiseboer whether Qin Su had told him about the recruitment plan.

Ch. 171Chapter 171

  • Qin Su paired Raymond with Blumer, and Blumer tricked Raymond out of the match circle; Blumer concluded Qin Su had deliberately favored him.
  • Class 6 students won three matches against current Fourth Military Academy students while former Zerg Fourth Military Academy students won three, persuading onlookers that Qin Su was protecting the newcomers.
  • Qin Su then called candidates in order and matched them with Class 6 students who could counter them, prompting eliminated students to accuse him of favoring people he liked.
  • Xuan Jingxi considered Qin Su's control over the selections and suspected he was choosing candidates for He Muzhi.

Ch. 173Chapter 173

Xuan Jingxi suspected Qin Su had chosen decent people for Class 6 to create a future rivalry with He Muzhi, but Qin Su dismissed the theory as he oversaw the final matches. After welcoming the new students, Qin Su publicly contacted Aiseboer to arrange their transfers, leaving the gathered students stunned and one newcomer asking what Class 6 would do the next day.

  • Xuan Jingxi theorized that Qin Su had selected people close to He Muzhi to provoke a future conflict, while Qin Su saw the speculation in the bullet comments and rejected it.

Ch. 175Chapter 175

Qin Su and Mei Qingyu planned opposing assassination exercises, with Qin Su secretly using his knowledge of Class 6 and the academy’s terrain to prepare Team 2. After taking his place as the military officer target, he watched both teams’ progress and prepared to test his training by holding off his classmates when they reached him.
