The Dubken Empire's mecha and warship display ceremony was broadcast live.

Since Ling Luo stated in an interview last year that she would not participate in the training methods seminar jointly organized by multiple empires, the popularity of her among the people of other empires has dropped significantly.

Even so, netizens from other empires had to admit that the training method she developed was indeed the most outstanding research achievement in the interstellar world in the last few thousand years, because Ling Luo's training method was indeed very effective.

Even though they don't like Ling Luo as much as they did at the beginning, they still can't help but pay attention to any news related to her.

Since registering an account on social media last year, Ling Luo has rarely appeared in public and has never given any interviews.

The news that she went to the Hellow Military Academy to take the exam at the end of last year and attended the court banquet held by the Lingliu Empire during the Spring Festival this year was only revealed by netizens posting videos and photos online.

Now that they know that she and Ye Xingxue are actually representing the Lingliu Empire to celebrate the Dibuken Empire's anniversary, netizens have been waiting in the Dibuken Empire's official live stream room even before the live stream started.

Needless to say, the netizens of the Lingliu Empire also...

Their affection for Lingluo only grew stronger day by day.

After receiving the news, they all rushed over to watch the live stream, hoping to see "fresh" Ling Luo.

In the past, the audience watching the Dubken Empire's anniversary celebrations featuring mechs and other displays were mostly Dubken natives, along with a small number of military and political enthusiasts.

This year, due to Ling Luo's arrival, the number of viewers in the live stream skyrocketed after it started.

Seeking attention, some gossip media outlets immediately followed suit and released a survey on social media platforms, repeating their previous tactics.

Many netizens of the Lingliu Empire naturally noticed that the number of viewers in the live broadcast room of the Dibuken Empire's anniversary celebration was many times greater than in the past.

Now that the media has brought up this matter, many Lingliu Empire netizens have happily participated in the poll and commented on it below.

"Hilarious! I've lived for hundreds of years and this is the first time I've ever known that there are so many military and political enthusiasts in interstellar space."

"Does anyone really think that everyone is here to watch the ceremony?"

"Oh well, I'll see through it but not say anything, let's save them some face. [Lights a cigarette]"

"Saying they don't love you, but their actions tell a different story, hahaha~"

Of course, it wasn't just the netizens of the Lingliu Empire who participated in the vote.

"I wouldn't say I like it right now, it's just curiosity."

"Exactly. Whenever news breaks about the leaders of various empires or celebrities, we rush over to join in the fun and take a look. Do you usually go online to eat gossip because you like them?"

"Maybe the people of the Lingliu Empire are more benevolent. I'm not. I just went there to watch the drama unfold. The more sensational the content and the more dramatic the process, the more I enjoy watching."

"One more person who just wanted to watch the show and join in the fun."

+2.

+3.

"..."

The news that Ling Luo and Ye Xingxue attended the Dibuken Empire's anniversary celebration had already topped the trending lists on various empire social media platforms.

Because of the large number of people involved, it quickly became a trending topic.

As a result, more and more people are voting.

In less than five minutes, more than 20 million StarCraft netizens participated.

Among them, 41.8% liked Lingluo, while 39.5% held a neutral attitude, neither liking nor disliking her.

In other words, less than 20% of people dislike Lingluo.

This survey result surprised not only netizens from other empires, but also netizens from the Lingliu Empire.

Some netizens questioned the survey results, believing that most of the voters were likely from the Lingliu Empire.

Many netizens left comments below in response.

"I come from the Asia Star Empire, and I voted for her. To be honest, you feel you don't owe her anything, and she doesn't owe you anything either. She has her own position, and I don't think she did anything wrong. The contribution her training methods have made to us martial artists is undeniable. I love her training methods so much now, and so far, I really haven't found any reason to dislike her."

“I am from the Seronda Empire, and I also voted for her. To be honest, I was indeed uncomfortable about her not attending the seminar jointly organized by multiple empires, and I felt that my previous liking for her was just wishful thinking, which I felt was not worth it. But then I realized that she didn't ask us to like her, and so far, her contributions to us martial artists have been real. Saying I didn't like her before was just ‘being emotional’.”

"The people of the Dibuken Empire voted neutral. They acknowledge the Crown Princess's training methods and their contributions to us, and they understand why she didn't attend the seminar due to her political stance. But she has her stance, and I also have my stance as a member of the Dibuken Empire. I am rather narrow-minded, so I neither like nor dislike her now, but I will respect her contributions."

Voting is still ongoing, and half an hour after the start of the Dibuken Empire's anniversary celebration, more than 200 million interstellar netizens have already voted.

The voting results have also changed slightly, as the number of votes for Ling Luo has exceeded 45%, and the number of neutral votes is also increasing, but only by 0.6%.

The reasons given by netizens who voted for "like" or "neutral" were actually quite similar.

People who dislike Ling Luo come in all sorts of ways; after all, sometimes you don't need a reason to dislike someone.

This matter continues to escalate.

Just as the number of voters continued to increase and more and more people liked Ling Luo, a netizen suddenly revealed that the experts of their Empire Training Method Research Institute had actually developed a new training method based on ancient martial arts that was more than one-third better than the traditional training methods of the past.

If this news had come out before Ling Luo's training methods were revealed, it would have certainly caused a sensation throughout the entire galaxy.

However, because Ling Luo's training methods were already excellent, the training methods they developed based on ancient martial arts were actually not even half as good as Ling Luo's. Therefore, their team at the Imperial Training Methods Research Institute did not immediately announce this.

Upon receiving this news, netizens who were watching the spectacle immediately shifted their attention and left comments, asking if the story was true.

"Previously, Wang Mi and other academicians specializing in imperial training methods stated that the knowledge related to ancient martial arts was several times more complex and vast than they had anticipated. Ancient martial arts was entirely new scientific knowledge for them. Just learning about the ancient knowledge of ancient martial arts would take them a very long time, and they had no idea when they would be able to fully understand it. Naturally, they also couldn't be sure when they would be able to develop a decent training method based on the knowledge they had learned. When I first heard about this, I thought there wouldn't be any progress for three to five years. I didn't expect there to be results in less than a year?"

"Yes, we were all wrong before. We thought that with so many staff members at the training method research institutes of the various empires, they would definitely be able to thoroughly study ancient martial arts in a short time. In reality, to develop a completely new and effective training method based on ancient martial arts knowledge, it's not enough for each person to just learn a small part and then integrate everyone's knowledge. In fact, each person needs to study about 60% to 70% of all ancient martial arts knowledge, which takes a lot of time."

"Yes, yes, so if this news is true, at this rate, perhaps within two years, an empire will be able to develop a training method as good as Ling Luo's?"

"Be bold, maybe we can research something even better than hers?"

“That’s right, she’s all alone. But each Imperial Training Academy has a team, so that’s quite possible.”

"Before Ling Luo developed training methods for us based on ancient martial arts knowledge, she had already studied and researched ancient martial arts for about ten years. Under these circumstances, she spent about two years developing the training methods we see now. Does this mean that she is not as talented as we thought before? Of course, her ancient martial arts skills broke through the limit early on, so I think she is definitely still a genius and very powerful. But now it seems that she is not as 'genius' or as amazing as I previously thought. Her current achievements may also have an element of luck."

The so-called luck naturally refers to the fact that if the experts in training methods from various empires had started researching training methods from ancient martial arts much earlier, perhaps Ling Luo wouldn't be in this situation now.

At this point, the netizen added, "Of course, no matter what, she is the discoverer, and I still respect her."

Many netizens expressed their agreement with this.

The internet became lively again, with more and more people leaving messages on the official account of their Imperial Training Methods Research Institute, inquiring about their research progress and the veracity of the matter.
