Chapter 175

At this moment, Gu Xiuwen had already withdrawn his supernatural abilities and stepped down.

He walked over calmly, looked at everyone, and asked, "Is that alright now?"

Feng Ruihan was originally unaware of the special properties of the Star Compass, but after listening to Xue Zhongqi's explanation, he immediately realized how terrifying Gu Xiuwen's abilities were.

He immediately became reserved and nodded hurriedly, "Mhm."

"Let's go." Gu Xiuwen took the lead and headed towards the exit of the training field.

Xu Jintang watched his retreating figure, a hint of interest appearing in her eyes.

This skill's effect is truly terrifying.

No wonder he became a major at such a young age.

Xue Zhongqi leaned closer and whispered, "You haven't provoked them lately, have you? Be careful they don't foresee your future and then hold a grudge and interfere with your plans."

At this point, Feng Ruihan immediately shuddered, "Oh no, I... I guess I really have been a bit disobedient. Then I won't..."

Xu Jintang added, "They probably don't have the time or inclination to pay attention to little kids like us."

"That's true, but..." Song Tianqi stroked his chin with interest, "I'm quite curious about what my future will be like. Should I go ask your Captain Gu?"

Yan Yuting also looked eager to try, "What should I do if I want to take the test too?"

Xue Zhongqi waved his hand, "You two hurry up. Predicting the future consumes a lot of energy, and interfering with the future can easily lead to all sorts of messy karma. He probably won't use it easily."

Hearing this, everyone finally quieted down.

Xu Jintang stroked his chin. "Then wouldn't he also be able to predict and interfere with the future development of the Federation?"

"Of course," Xue Zhongqi said seriously, "That's why he was able to become a major at such a young age."

Xu Jintang's expression showed some emotion. "There are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world."

She always thought her Tilting Scales effect was already exaggerated, but she never expected there to be an even more exaggerated one.

The next morning, the trainee soldiers who remained in the military camp also began to prepare for their withdrawal.

Gu Xiuwen stood on the platform of the space hub, raised his right arm, and waved to Xu Jintang and the others.

Xu Jintang had already entered the manned spacecraft, returned the greeting.

A few seconds later, the hatch closed automatically.

Xu Jintang continued to look at Gu Xiuwen through the transparent layer of the hatch.

Gu Xiuwen was also looking at her.

Their eyes met in mid-air.

Until the manned spacecraft slowly rose.

Xu Jintang withdrew his gaze and turned back to the cabin lounge.

"Squad leader, shouldn't you... go find the medical team to give you a skill to relieve your dizziness?" Yan Yuting suggested.

Xu Jintang then remembered that she was prone to airsickness.

She quickly turned around to call for help.

At this moment, the aircraft, which had already begun to travel at high speed, experienced a slight shaking.

"Vomit--"

Xu Jintang bent over and vomited violently.

The others who witnessed this scene. "..."

"It's hard to imagine that someone as strong as our squad leader would be so nauseous on the aircraft," Song Tianqi said while cracking sunflower seeds.

Xue Zhongqi nodded, "If I ever dislike the class monitor, I'll just take her on a ride on the flying machine."

Yan Yuting rolled her eyes at them, "That's enough, you two."

A short while later, the medical team arrived and shone a beam of supernatural light on Xu Jintang's head, instantly dispelling her dizziness.

She leaned against the wall, and her strength and consciousness quickly returned to normal.

Xu Jintang pursed her lips, stretched her wrists, and walked over to Song Tianqi and Xue Zhongqi. "What were you two saying just now?"

The two of them paused simultaneously as they cracked sunflower seeds.

"Huh? No, I didn't." Song Tianqi had an innocent look on his face.

Xue Zhongqi immediately pointed at Song Tianqi and began to complain, "Class monitor, he just said you're no good."

Song Tianqi: "?"

He rolled up his sleeves and immediately retorted, "Squad leader, I swear, Xue Zhongqi definitely said something about you too! You can teach me a lesson, but you absolutely cannot let him get away with it."

Xu Jintang smiled slightly, grabbed Song Tianqi by the collar with one hand and Xue Zhongqi by the other, "You two go stand outside and reflect on your actions."

After saying that, she used force to pull the two of them off the sofa and shoved them toward the door of the lounge.

"Yes!" The two rushed to the door and began to stand as punishment.

A smile appeared in Yan Yuting's eyes. "You're the only one who can handle them."

Xu Jintang straightened his clothes, sat down next to her, and started cracking open a handful of sunflower seeds.

"I wonder how Sister Shiyi is doing. She hasn't been posting in the group much lately," Yan Yuting muttered.

Xu Jintang braced himself with his hands behind his back. "Let's go back and ask."

The aircraft continued to travel at high speed forward.

It wasn't until the morning of the next day that it slowly landed at the Federation Star Region Cosmic Hub Center.

The hatch opened, and Xu Jintang was the first to step down.

She stretched out her arms and yawned, feeling the fresh outdoor air rush towards her.

As soon as he arrived at the terminal, Xu Jintang's communicator started buzzing.

It was a message from Zhuang Silin.

She pressed the call button, and a miniature version of Zhuang Silin immediately popped up in front of her. "Arrived? Did it go smoothly? But you probably won't have time to rest, we're heading to the Middle Star Region to challenge the military academy there."

Chapter 175

Xu Jintang was taken aback. "So eager?"

"Okay, wait for me at the terminal. Yu Wanyao and I will be there soon." After saying that, Zhuang Silin hung up the phone.

Yan Yuting and the others caught up and walked to Xu Jintang's side.

What's going on?

Xu Jintang turned around, raised his chin to indicate the location of the human-powered aircraft, and said, "Teacher Zhuang informed us to wait here. We're going directly to the military academy in the middle star region to challenge them."

"So eager?" Xue Zhongqi asked with a strange expression.

"Hmm, sounds like you're in a hurry." Xu Jintang put his hands in his coat pockets and leaned against a pillar to wait for someone.

A short while later, Zhuang Silin appeared on the terminal platform with Yu Wanyao and four others.

Zhuang Silin quickly walked over, her expression somewhat serious.

"The tickets for the aircraft have been booked for you. You can just board it in a bit."

Xu Jintang asked curiously, "Why are you in such a rush?"

"I just received the notification from above today. This challenge match will not only consider the win rate, but also the time. The sooner we leave, the sooner we can finish," Zhuang Silin explained.

Yu Wanyao and the others followed one after another.

Wei Zixuan chuckled and leaned closer to Xue Zhongqi, nudging his elbow. "I heard you guys were having a killing spree at the military camp again?"

"It's alright, it's just that I easily won against the official army by accident." Xue Zhongqi raised his hand and brushed a strand of hair from his forehead.

Yan Zitao also sidled up to his sister, "Not bad, I heard you're doing quite well in the Logistics Camp."

Yan Yuting smiled smugly. "Of course."

A group of people started chatting amongst themselves.

Xu Jintang looked around, then, as if remembering something, asked, "Sister Shiyi hasn't arrived yet."

"I already told her, she'll meet us in the middle star system this afternoon." Zhuang Silin hurriedly ended the sentence, then looked at the others, "Stop chatting for now, get ready to board the spacecraft, you can chat as you like afterward."

The commotion then subsided.

A few minutes later, Xu Jintang and the others returned to the aircraft.

After being hit by a skill that caused him to lose his dizziness, Xu Jintang collapsed onto the sofa in the lounge, utterly dejected.

Although using superpowers means I no longer have to worry about motion sickness, the feeling of being cramped on a spacecraft for a long time is still a bit unbearable.

Zhuang Silin gathered everyone together and began explaining the current situation, "This cyclical challenge battle is an annual sparring event. The specific rules are that the five major military academies take turns challenging other military academies. Last year, Clifford was in charge of the challenge, and he challenged a total of ten military academies with a 100% win rate."

"This year it's our military academy's turn to challenge other academies, so the instructions from above are that we need to challenge more military academies than Clifford, and our winning rate must be 100% just like Clifford's."

"Time is tight and the task is heavy, everyone be prepared."

Song Tianqi was the first to clench his fist and shout, "Damn! I love these kinds of exciting missions!"

Yan Yuting's brows furrowed with worry. "A 100% win rate... isn't that a bit too high a requirement?"

The remaining people remained silent, heads bowed in deep thought, seemingly considering the feasibility of the task.

"The other military academies were completely outmatched by Clifford last year, and they're all resentful. So compared to last year, this year's challenge will definitely be more difficult, but we are Leikedasi, and we have no way out," Zhuang Silin said firmly.

Silence enveloped the lounge.

Until Xu Jintang spoke up, "Then let's fight. If that doesn't work, we can send in the experimental class?"

Zhuang Silin turned to look at them, "Hopefully it won't come to the point where we need you to go. However, if necessary, we might make an exception."

Song Tianqi became excited by these words, "This is really rare! We finally have a chance to shine!"

Zhuang Silin continued, "For this challenge match, Yu Wanyao and her five teammates will be on the official team. The five from the experimental class will be on the substitutes. In case of unforeseen circumstances, the experimental class team will be added to the squad to ensure a higher chance of winning."

Yu Wanyao and the other four exchanged glances, and a sense of pressure immediately rose in their hearts.

"We will definitely work hard to complete the task and try our best to prevent the experimental class from getting in," Yu Wanyao said, taking the lead.

The others nodded in unison, "We guarantee we'll complete the mission!"

Xu Jintang remained sprawled on the sofa, closing his eyes to rest.

Another day passed, and the manned spacecraft slowly descended.

"This flight has ended. We have now arrived at the Medium Star Region K006." The announcement sounded, and the cabin doors opened one after another.

Xu Jintang was the first to rush off the aircraft. When he arrived at the terminal, he immediately opened his arms in relief and took a deep breath of air.
