The moment he was eliminated, Lei Wenche realized that the opponent's skill effect was Life Sharing.
Xue Zhongqi's sudden "suicide" was clearly part of a pre-planned scheme to take him with him.
The captain was a bit dumbfounded.
So Captain Lei was really eliminated a long time ago.
The other regular soldiers around them also woke up one after another, and upon hearing the two talking, they were all immediately dumbfounded.
Even Captain Lei was eliminated.
What terrifying people are in this training army?
"First of all, congratulations to all members of the training army on this victory! Everyone has passed the assessment for this training program! Secondly, everyone's performance was excellent. Now, the Commander-in-Chief will come up and say a few words to you."
Wang Yile was the first to appear before the two armies, smiling and clapping with both hands.
Both trainee and regular soldiers turned their gazes to the front.
Jing Hongyi walked steadily onto the stage.
He smiled warmly, "I'm very happy that everyone has given us such a wonderful assessment. The trainees' performance in all aspects exceeded our expectations, so congratulations on successfully completing this training program."
"To the regular soldiers, I must say that your performance today was indeed inferior to that of the trainee soldiers. Therefore, your captains will probably have to increase the intensity of your training in the coming days. I hope everything goes well for you."
Upon hearing this, the regular soldiers collectively became depressed, their expressions turning somewhat distraught.
Their usual training is already terrifying; if we increase the intensity further, they might be ruined.
However, they were also aware that they had lost this assessment quite badly.
Subsequently, other leaders delivered speeches.
Most of the comments praised the trainee soldiers for their outstanding performance.
Xu Jintang and Xue Zhongqi were mentioned particularly frequently.
Every time it's mentioned, people around the speaker turn their attention to it.
After the assessment, Xu Jintang and Xue Zhongqi were promoted to celebrity trainees at the Military Academy, and the number of their fans skyrocketed.
As the internship program draws to a close, the start dates for various military academies are fast approaching.
The trainees are gradually preparing to leave and return to school.
"I put in a lot of effort too, so why are you two the only ones who are so popular?" Song Tianqi complained sullenly.
Xue Zhongqi cleared his throat. "Maybe it's because I'm handsome."
Xu Jintang straightened his back as well, "That's probably because I'm cooler."
Yan Yuting glanced at the two of them speechlessly. "Alright, hurry up and pack up, we have to go back to school. Teacher Zhuang just sent a message in the group saying that at the start of the new semester, we might have to represent Leikedasi to challenge other military academies, so be prepared."
Chapter 174
Song Tianqi's attention was then drawn to it.
He immediately rubbed his hands together, his expression eager, "What does this mean? We can be in the open now?"
The establishment of the experimental class was kept secret, so they were not allowed to participate in many public activities.
Xu Jintang looked over in surprise, "Are we representing Leikedasi to challenge them?"
Yan Yuting raised his index finger and shook it. "To be precise, we're the reserve team. The official team representing Leikedasi to challenge the other teams is Yu Wanyao's team. According to Teacher Zhuang, Yu Wanyao's team is capable of handling most military academy teams, so we're going along to get familiar with the other military academy teams first."
"Oh." Song Tianqi backed down. "It means we basically have no chance to make a move."
Yan Yuting nodded, "Yes."
"You got all excited for nothing." Song Tianqi put his arms behind his head and resumed his nonchalant demeanor.
Xue Zhongqi remained largely calm throughout, saying, "I knew all along that we wouldn't be allowed to make a move."
Xu Jintang withdrew his gaze and continued walking towards the military canteen.
Just as I was about to enter, a familiar figure appeared before me.
Xu Jintang stopped and looked up at Gu Xiuwen in front of her.
He walked over, dressed in a silver-white military uniform, his posture upright. Upon seeing Xu Jintang and the others, he stopped. "You did a good job yesterday; many leaders were very impressed with you."
Xu Jintang smiled and leaned closer, "Didn't I embarrass you?"
Gu Xiuwen gave a faint "hmm".
Xu Jintang continued, "We're going back to school tomorrow, and we don't know when we'll see each other again. Aren't you going to treat us to a farewell dinner today?"
Gu Xiuwen paused for a moment, then said, "Pick whatever you want to eat, I'll pay the bill."
Yan Yuting and Song Tianqi, standing behind, immediately cheered, "Yay! We can freeload!"
When the group arrived at the cafeteria entrance, they ran into Feng Ruihan.
Feng Ruihan was followed by a group of henchmen. When he saw Xu Jintang, he immediately stopped in his tracks.
In the past, he would have definitely been eyeing Xu Jintang for a challenge.
But this time, he just chuckled and said, " Captain Xu, you're here for dinner too? What a coincidence, why don't we eat together?" His politeness was unexpected.
Xu Jintang remained relatively calm and nodded in agreement, saying, "Okay."
The group entered the cafeteria one after another, moved two empty tables together, and put them up to make one large table.
After ordering, Xu Jintang carried his tray back to the table and sat down.
Gu Xiuwen sat opposite her, adjusting his cuffs.
Xu Jintang looked up and asked casually, "I've been training with Captain Gu for so long, and I've never seen what your special ability is."
Gu Xiuwen looked up at him. "Want to know?"
"Curious," Xu Jintang replied.
Other people around also turned to look.
Feng Ruihan was the most excited, "That's true, Captain Gu has never made a move before. But to become a major, his strength must be extraordinary."
As he spoke, he looked at Gu Xiuwen with anticipation.
Song Tianqi and the others also looked over to join in the fun, waiting for Gu Xiuwen's reply.
Gu Xiuwen pursed his lips and pondered for a moment, "After you finish eating, I'll take you to the training ground."
Xu Jintang's eyes lit up. Was he going to demonstrate his supernatural abilities to them on the spot?
"Okay."
Yan Yuting and Xue Zhongqi exchanged a glance.
They all knew that Gu Xiuwen was the former underground black market boss, and they were naturally curious about his capabilities.
During the mealtime, the atmosphere was very quiet, and everyone ate their food in silence, appearing quite relaxed.
"Oh, right." Feng Ruihan suddenly remembered something, pausing in his chopsticks, "Have you guys... heard of the Mask Squad that was really popular a while ago?"
These words suddenly created a tense atmosphere at the dinner table.
Yan Yuting put down her chopsticks, looked up, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xu Jintang and the others all turned their attention to Feng Ruihan.
Feng Ruihan sensed a subtle feeling of being watched, so he quickly lowered his head and coughed lightly, "It's nothing."
Actually, he has always been a huge fan of the Mask Squad.
From the moment Xu Jintang began to act during the assessment, he roughly guessed the other party's identity.
That terrifying close-combat ability and familiar ice-based superpowers—no one but Foodie could possess them.
With Song Tianqi, a fire-type superpowered individual with the Vermilion Bird Bloodline, by his side, Xu Jintang's identity becomes even more beyond doubt.
But for some reason, it seems only he knows about this. Didn't the other trainees see the Ability User Competition a while ago?
After the meal, Gu Xiuwen led the team to the training ground.
He walked alone up the steps leading to the arena, stopped in the center, and turned to face Xu Jintang and the others.
Xu Jintang stared at Gu Xiuwen, her arms crossed, her curiosity reaching its peak.
Gu Xiuwen doesn't look very old; at least compared to leaders like Jing Hongyi, he is really young.
Such a young major and Ninth Tier ability user certainly arouses curiosity.
The others also stared intently at Gu Xiuwen, their eyes full of inquiry.
Gu Xiuwen stood on the stage, slowly raising his hands.
A faint silvery-white light emanated from his body, exuding a subtle sense of mystery.
Xu Jintang frowned.
This energy... seems somewhat familiar.
Gu Xiuwen closed his eyes and chanted a mysterious incantation. A few seconds later, a silver Star Compass appeared in front of him. The Star Compass was divided into different fan-shaped sections, each of which was printed with mysterious symbols and patterns.
A silvery glow flickered slowly around the Star Compass.
A hint of surprise rose in Xu Jintang's eyes.
He also possesses a star-attribute ability, so Gu Xiuwen is also an inscription master?
The second person to be shocked was Xue Zhongqi.
He gaped slightly, "It's Star Compass!"
Xu Jintang looked over, "You know about this superpower?"
Xue Zhongqi recovered slightly and nodded, "This is a god-level ability that ranks among the top ten of all star-attribute abilities."
Yan Yuting and the others also looked over.
Xue Zhongqi continued to explain, "Those who possess the Star Compass ability have a mental strength level of at least Fifth Tier when they first awaken their ability, and those who possess this ability cultivate at an incredibly fast speed."
Xu Jintang pursed her lips and continued to look at Gu Xiuwen.
No wonder he's Ninth Tier ability user at such a young age; he started at the Fifth Tier as soon as he awakened.
Xue Zhongqi continued, "Moreover, the most terrifying aspect of the Star Compass ability user isn't their mental strength level, but rather the effects of their skills. The Star Compass possesses predictive and disruptive abilities; with First Tier increase, the strength of these abilities rises by 10%, reaching 90% upon reaching the Ninth Tier."
Xu Jintang asked curiously, "What do you mean by prediction and interference capabilities?"
"The kind that can predict the future?" Song Tianqi's eyes widened involuntarily.
Yan Yuting was also taken aback. "Could that interference be interference with the future? Is it that terrifying?"
Xue Zhongqi nodded, "That's right, it's about predicting and interfering with the future, and the success rate is at least 90%."
