They would definitely be able to hold their heads high in the regular classes too! Let those arrogant students in the advanced classes see what happened when they got into the advanced classes. They still lost to the regular classes. Let them never look down on people again!

Because the cave was one-way, they could only return the way they came. The way out was much easier. In addition, because we obtained the Crimson Crystal, everyone was in a very good mood and didn’t feel that the surrounding environment was so bad.

However, to everyone’s surprise, they were blocked as soon as they came out of the cave.

“Judging from your expressions, you’ve probably already got your hands on the Crimson Crystal. If you know what’s good for you, hand it over obediently, or don’t blame me for being impolite.” Hu Yiming said to Gao Zhiquan and the others, his eyes flashing with resentment, especially when he saw Luo Lingxing.

He hadn’t forgotten the humiliation they had inflicted on them at school. It was the first time in his life he had been humiliated like that, and he absolutely could not forgive them!

“Oh!” “Originally, we planned to let you go and spare your lives as long as you obediently handed over the Crimson Crystal. But I’ve just changed my mind. None of you are going anywhere. You’re all staying here. If you have anyone to blame, blame yourself for choosing the wrong teammate!” Hu Yiming pointed at Luo Lingxing and said quietly, a cruel sneer curling at the corner of his mouth.

However, Gao Zhiquan and the others’ reactions were completely different from what Hu Yiming had imagined. At this point, they should have blamed Luo Lingxing, distanced themselves from him, and begged for mercy. However, they looked at him as if he were a lunatic, and their eyes were full of pity.

Gao Zhiquan and the others were just sympathizing with Hu Yiming. Why did they have to provoke their boss? They were practically asking for death! Silently lighting a hundred candles for them.

“Damn it, what kind of looks are those?” Hu Yiming’s face, which was usually quite presentable, contorted with rage as he spoke viciously.

From beginning to end, it was only Hu Yiming talking to himself. They didn’t say a single word. Yet, he single-handedly acted out several scenes, constantly changing his expressions. With such richness, it would be a waste if he weren’t an actor.

“I just feel sorry for you,” Gao Zhiquan said casually, showing no signs of the pressure or tension he would feel if he encountered Hu Yiming and the others.

“Damn it, what did you say?” Hu Yiming almost doubted his ears. He simply couldn’t believe that a student from an ordinary class who was usually timid and hesitant in front of them would dare to spout nonsense in front of him!

“Sigh, not only is your brain not working properly, but your hearing isn’t working properly either. It’s really pitiful.” Gao Zhiquan said, while showing a sympathetic and regretful expression, which made Hu Yiming furious. But in his heart, he was secretly thinking…

He finally got to show off in front of the advanced class. He had wanted to do this for a long time, but he didn’t dare to because he wasn’t strong enough. After all, in the mecha profession, strength is paramount. Now, Luo Lingxing’s strength is definitely superior to that of the outstanding class, which made all of his underlings proud as well.

Sure enough, if the leader you follow was capable, those below would also feel proud.

“Yiming, stop wasting time talking to them. Since they’re so ungrateful, we don’t need to be polite either,” Jiang Linyu said, then took out his mecha.

Seeing this, the others also took out their mechas. Gao Zhiquan and the others naturally did not want to be left behind. Only Luo Lingxing was relatively relaxed, as if he had not noticed this side at all.

Although the students in the advanced class were arrogant and boastful, they certainly had the ability to back it up when it came to real strength. Gao Zhiquan was already considered one of the best in the regular class, but he still seemed to be struggling against Hu Yiming and the others.

“Hmph, with this little strength, you dare to talk back to us? Today, I’ll show you what the difference is.” Hu Yiming said to Gao Zhiquan and the others while controlling the mecha, his tone full of malice.

Gao Zhiquan and the others completely ignored his words and attacked the opponent with all their might, seemingly not worried about the opponent at all, because they knew that when they reached the critical point, their boss would make a move.

However, Hu Yiming was unaware of this. All he knew was that Gao Zhiquan and the others were being constantly suppressed and beaten by them, and the person who had once humiliated him was so frightened that he hid behind those people and didn’t even dare to enter the battle.

“Lin Yu, you hold these guys off. I’m going to teach Luo Lingxing a lesson,” Hu Yiming said to Jiang Linyu as he stepped out of the fight.

“Okay.” Jiang Linyu instantly took Hu Yiming’s place and stopped Gao Zhiquan and the others. Then Hu Yiming piloted the mecha towards Luo Lingxing. He couldn’t wait to see the look of shock on this person’s face.

In fact, Jiang Linyu’s attempt to stop them was completely futile, because even if they hadn’t stopped them, Gao Zhiquan and the others wouldn’t have gone to Luo Lingxing’s side. Someone was willingly going to get beaten up, so why would they stop them? Hu Yiming would probably regret it to the core.

Luo Lingxing, who was originally just watching from the sidelines, saw Hu Yiming running towards him and immediately realized his purpose. He then took out his mecha and kicked Hu Yiming’s mecha without hesitation, sending him flying back in the direction he came from.

Feeling that the time was about right, Luo Lingxing made his move. His speed was fast and precise, and he took down one mecha with almost one action. In just a few seconds, Hu Yiming and the others, who had been in the lead, were all lying on the ground, looking completely bewildered. They had no idea how the battle had turned around in such a short time, and so quickly. What had happened?

“Heh, who’s really in the right to teach a lesson?” Gao Zhiquan couldn’t help but mock Hu Yiming and the others, and then called on his other teammates to give them another good beating, venting all the anger he felt from being beaten earlier. Only after he finished venting did he realize…

“Oh dear, I’m so sorry, I think I used too much force. Your mechas are all ruined. It looks like you’ll have to regretfully be eliminated from this trial.” Gao Zhiquan apologized rather perfunctorily.

Hu Yiming and the others were so angry they almost shattered their teeth.

“You just wait!”

“Don’t worry, I’ve already contacted your mentors. Someone should be coming to pick you up soon. We’ll be going now. We still have two tasks to complete. Bye-bye, Gao Zhiquan is just too infuriating.”

Hu Yiming and the others wanted to give chase, but their mechas were too badly damaged to be restarted. Without their mechas, the situation was even more dangerous, making it impossible to complete the training mission. Each person could only carry one mecha, and there were no spares.

Therefore, all that awaits Hu Yiming and the others was elimination!

“Gao Zhiquan, Luo Lingxing, I will never let this go! You just wait!” Hu Yiming roared angrily.

Having unexpectedly completed the Crimson Crystal mission, everyone was in a great mood and wasn’t even in a hurry to find the Golden Dragon anymore.

At that moment, the military headquarters, far away on the Emperor Star, received an urgent message.

“Marshal, signs of Zerg activity have appeared in the Kedama system, and they have sent a request for support.”

A soldier reported.

The Kedama system was located on the edge of the Empire and had few habitable planets, but it served as a defensive line for the Empire. If it was breached, the Zerg would  penetrate deeper into the Empire, causing enormous losses to the Empire and posing an unprecedented threat to humanity’s safety.

“How many Zerg are there?” “What is the scale?” the marshal asked calmly.

“Currently, the footprints of the pioneer ants have been discovered, and according to the detection reports, there is a large army of Zerg behind them.”

“Immediately dispatch the Suoda system defense force to provide support, then send the First Legion, led by…” Marshal Zhou Zhongguo hesitated for a moment when confirming the personnel, then asked, “Has the Military Academy’s training program for this year already begun?” The soldier reporting, though unsure why the marshal had suddenly switched to this topic, still replied earnestly, “Yes, it’s been going on for half a month.”

“Did all the students from the Mecha Academy participate?”

“Yes.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhongguo pondered for a moment and said, Originally, Zhou Zhongguo did not intend to send Major General Han Junzhan to lead the First Legion to provide support. After all, Han Junzhan’s two sons had just been born, and as their father, he would certainly be reluctant to leave them. However, the planet where the military academy was training happens to be located in the Kedama star system, and Luo Lingxing was also in it. He believed that Han Junzhan would very much like to go there in person.”

“Yes, sir!”

Han Junzhan quickly received news of the mission. Although he was reluctant to leave his two babies, he couldn’t stay at home peacefully because he thought that Luo Lingxing’s planet might encounter the Zerg.

After handing the two babies over to the two old men and the nanny, Han Junzhan made some arrangements and then quickly led the First Legion to the Kedama system.

The journey would take some time, so the soldiers, bored from sitting idly, started to find topics to chat about.

“I heard that Young Master Luo is undergoing training on a training planet?”

“A training planet?” “That’s a piece of cake for Young Master Luo. Even the ferocious beasts on Planet Seyfert are no match for him, let alone a training planet. They’d probably be no match for even a flick of his little finger.” A soldier said with pride, clearly showing his great admiration for Luo Lingxing.

“That’s right. On the training planet, Young Master Luo is just playing around.” Another soldier chimed in, his tone filled with trust and admiration for Luo Lingxing.

Currently, Luo Lingxing ranked second in the hearts of the soldiers in the First Legion, second only to Han Junzhan, and even higher than Marshal Zhou Zhongguo.

“This invasion of our Kedama system by the Zerg was a complete miscalculation on their part. If Young Master Luo were to join us, those Zerg would probably be devastated. I really want to see that scene,” a soldier fantasized.

“Don’t even think about it. Young Master Luo is still a student. He’s just here for training. He can’t go on missions with us. We should be grateful that he can spare the time to train us. You want him to fight the Zerg with us? What are you thinking all day?”

“Moreover, even if Young Master Luo were willing, the leader would definitely not be.”

“That’s true. Everyone can see how much the regimental commander cherishes Young Master Luo. I never knew that the cold and heartless regimental commander could have such a side. Every time I see it, I feel like I’m dreaming,” a soldier couldn’t help but exclaim.

“The boss only shows a gentle expression in front of Young Master Luo. To everyone else, he showed the same cold expression.”

People had long been used to this kind of double standard.
