Ling Luo still had a few pages left to read in the book.

After boarding the aircraft, she opened the book and continued reading.

Ye Xingxue saw this but didn't say anything. She asked Bai Ying, "Would you like something to drink?"

Bai Ying shook her head: "Thank you, but no need."

Ye Xingxue didn't stand on ceremony with him. She took out a bottle of peach-flavored drink that Ling Luo liked, opened the cap, handed it to Ling Luo, and said softly, "Luo Luo, have some water first."

Ling Luo took the book without taking her eyes off it and said, "Hmm."

She took a few small sips, then stopped drinking and just held it in her hand.

Ye Xingxue watched and knew that she didn't intend to finish a bottle of beverage.

He doesn't actually like drinking anything too sweet, especially beverages; he rarely drank them even when he was a child.

But seeing that Ling Luo still had half a bottle of drink left, he took it, put his thin lips to the bottle opening, and drank the rest of the drink.

During this time, Ling Luo kept reading her book, seemingly unaware of Ye Xingxue's actions.

Bai Ying stared at it, stunned for a moment.

Ye Xingxue remained calm, seemingly unaware of Bai Ying's gaze. After tossing the empty bottle into the nearby trash can, she started a casual conversation with Bai Ying: "How is Mr. Bai's health?"

Bai Ying nodded: "It's fine, thank you for your concern, Your Highness."

His grandfather did have some health problems recently.

The last time the Luo family and the Imperial Pharmaceutical Research Institute invited them, his grandfather was also unable to attend.

Ye Xingxue nodded: "It's good that you're alright."

Ling Luo reads very quickly, and finished the remaining pages in no time.

She put the book away and placed it in her storage bag.

Ye Xingxue watched, then patted her little head: "Not going to continue watching?"

"Watch it after you finish eating." Otherwise, it's quite troublesome to have to eat halfway through watching it.

Night Snow: "Mm."

Bai Ying seemed to remember something and suddenly asked, "Crown Princess, have you formed a team for this Beast Star assessment?"

Ling Luo paused for a moment: "Beast Star Assessment? We're going to Beast Star for another assessment?"

Ye Xingxue could tell from her expression that she had probably completely overlooked the matter.

He said helplessly, "Yes, the assessment should be held within half a month, but the specific time has not been completely determined yet."

Ling Luo: "Oh."

Hearing this, Ling Luo recalled Bai Ying's question and said, "From what you're saying, this assessment allows for the re-formation of teams?"

Bai Ying didn't expect her to ask that, and after a pause, she nodded: "Yes."

"So this time, are you going to team up by yourself again?"

Bai Ying was even more surprised by her question, and he shook his head: "No."

Knowing that Ling Luo probably didn't understand the content and rules of this assessment, Ye Xingxue explained to her, "Luo Luo, this assessment is different from the last one. If he forms a team by himself again this time, our school's advantage will be gone."

"Hmm? The school's advantages?"

Ling Luo didn't know what was different about this assessment compared to the last one, but hearing what he said, she guessed something: "Could it be that this assessment isn't based on team rankings, but on school rankings?"

"Yes, you could say it's ranked by empire. This assessment is a joint examination of the military academies of all the empires. And our academy's ranking represents our empire's ranking."

Ling Luo understood: "I see. So, this time the scores are calculated based on the total scores of all students?"

"Yes. In addition to the school's overall ranking, there is also a team ranking. Whether it's the school ranking or the team ranking, the top three teams will receive generous prizes this time."

Ling Luo listened and nodded: "That's good."

And this feeling is also very familiar.

In the cultivation world, when various sects arrange for their disciples to enter secret realms for training, they rank the sects based on the sect's overall performance.

"Yes, it is indeed a good challenge for us students. Because this time, our opponents are not only alien beasts and plants, but also students from other empires."

"The total number of participants in this assessment is much larger than in our previous assessments, so even though the beast planets we are going to assess are very large, there will still be quite a few opportunities for everyone to meet. Because it is an assessment competition representing the empire, there will definitely be various disputes among the students of different empires over the competition for resources. Although the condition is that no one can be killed, sparring and fighting between each other is inevitable."

Ling Luo nodded: "This is actually more conducive to everyone improving their own strength, which is great."

"Yes. Even though there are constant frictions between the two empires, our common enemy is the Zerg. Therefore, in order to improve the abilities of our students, the empires have joined forces to hold such a joint examination."

Ling Luo's interest grew as she listened.

only--

She suddenly remembered a very important question: "For this assessment, will we still be divided into low, medium, and high-level beast zones according to our grade? If so, wouldn't we first-year students also be sent to the low-level beast zone?"

"Yes, this time, the division will be more detailed. This time, there will be four beast zones for grades one through four."

Ling Luo: "..."

Before she could speak, Ye Xingxue continued, "However, this time the assessment will be held on a different beast star than the one we went to before. It will be on a beast star from another empire."

"Oh." Ling Luo looked dejected, but still held a glimmer of hope: "So, in the beast area where we first-year students will take the assessment, the level of the exotic beasts and plants will still not exceed level two, five stars?"

“No.” Ye Xingxue shook her head: “Everyone has been enrolled for a year, so the school and the empire will naturally have higher requirements for everyone. This time, the highest level of the beasts in the first-year beast area may be level three and five stars, but in the past hundred years, it has only happened once. In fact, in general, there are very few beasts above level three.”

Ling Luo: "..."

All right.

She knew it.
