Chapter 17: The First Army's Deep Love

Fei Ziming: "I'll give you ten minutes to form a team. Once you're done, I'll be waiting for you in the Yuansong Forest on the back mountain."

In almost an instant, Qiao Ye was surrounded by the sentries.

"Join us."

"Our group is the strongest! Join us!"

"Who do you think you are? Our group is the strongest one!!"

Qiao Ye panicked.

Qiao Bang said arrogantly, "Make way, make way."

No one gave way.

Qiao Bang got angry and squeezed out a path and pulled Qiao Ye out.

Qiao Ye finally breathed in some fresh air and exhaled deeply.

Lu Chi said: "The four of us will go together."

Qiao Bang, Xie Chen and Qiao Ye had no objection.

The other sentries in the first battalion looked at Qiao Ye eagerly and enthusiastically. Lu Chi walked in front of Qiao Ye, and there was a sense of oppression in his eyes that Qiao Ye had never felt before.

He grabbed Qiao Ye's wrist, pulled her back, and pointed at himself. Lu Chi said coldly, "Mine."

The other sentries had no choice but to retreat.

The Imperial Military Academy not only has sentinels and guides, but also many ordinary people. However, the problem is that ordinary people are not strong, and it can be said that they are all drags.

The other sentries could only go to the ordinary people camp to pick some taller ones, so that at least they would not hold their legs back when running.

Xie Chen said: "We need five people to form a team, and we are still one short."

Qiao Ye looked around and saw Ying Qiao, the only one who was not called to join a team.

Ying Qiao is a female sentry, and the male sentries will subconsciously think that she is not strong.

Qiao Ye tugged at Lu Chi and pointed at Ying Qiao.

Lu Chi understood and walked up to Ying Qiao and said friendlyly, "Hello, I'm Lu Chi."

"Qiao Bang." "I'm Xie Chen." "I'm Ye Qiao."

Ying Qiao looked the four people in front of her up and down. "Hello. I'm Ying Qiao."

Lu Chi asked, "Our team is still short of a teammate. Would you like to join us?"

Ying Qiao was a little surprised, and she nodded: "Okay."

The five-member team of Lu Chi's team was finalized.

Two male sentinels, Lu Chi and Qiao Bang, a female sentinel, Ying Qiao, a male guide, Xie Chen, and an ordinary person, Qiao Ye.

Ten minutes later, the first-year and second-year students quickly moved to the back mountain of the military academy and stood in groups.

Seeing that most people had arrived, Fei Ziming said, "Next, the instructors will distribute spiritual potions to everyone. All sentries in each group, drink the potion. After drinking the spiritual potion, your spiritual power will be restricted. The stronger the spiritual power, the greater the restriction. In other words, if it's SS-level spiritual sentry Lu Chi, his spiritual power may be reduced to C-level after drinking the spiritual potion. The potion's effect lasts for four hours. If you don't like your chief, you can go and deal with him from the beginning!"

All the sentries instantly lost their composure. Many of them stared at Lu Chi with a sinister look.

Lu Chi: “…”

Qiao Bang gloated, "Lu Chi, I think you are the adopted son. What's going on with your First Army?!"

Xie Chen said meaningfully: "This is the depth of love."

Qiao Ye and Ying Qiao nodded seriously.

Fei Ziming said, "As for the rules of the competition, each person will be given a score card, and each score card equals one point. You will compete in a friendly manner, and the winner can take the loser's score card. Teams will be ranked based on their points. The time limit is... when the sun sets."

Lu Chi, Qiao Bang and Ying Qiao all held mental power potions in their hands.

The three of them frowned fiercely and drank the potion under the instructor's gaze.

I felt weak instantly after drinking it.

Ying Qiao: "My mental strength is very weak, probably down to level B."

Qiao Bang: "Me too."

Lu Chi's face turned pale. His mental image of a white horse collapsed in his spiritual sea.

"Alright, enter the forest in the order in which each team captain arrived at the playground this morning."

The first battalion was the first to arrive at the playground. Lu Chi was ranked very high, but there were still several teams ahead of him.

Xie Chen said: "Don't worry, when we went in, there weren't many teams inside. They couldn't make any preparations in such a short time."

Ying Qiao: "Run after you go in and find a place to hide first."

Qiao Bang was no longer arrogant. He said to Qiao Ye pitifully, "Xiao Ye, can I rely on you?"

Qiao Ye patted his shoulder generously: "Lean on it."

Geng Xian looked at the group of unhappy boys and girls and said to Fei Ziming, "Is this the way you said to distinguish geniuses from ordinary people?"

Fei Ziming said: "Even if their mental strength is suppressed, a genius is still a genius."

Geng Xian shook his head and clicked his tongue twice.

Well, actually he had seen it every year. The way the Ninth Army of the Empire trained its sentinels was always so weird.

The first-year students entered the forest first. Ocarina and the other five watched Lu Chi and the other five go in, and waited quietly behind them.

The principal, the chief instructor, the instructors, and the deans of each college all went to the monitoring room in Yuansong Forest to watch.

Lu Chi is the leader, and the team also includes a female sentry, a male guide and an ordinary person.

Almost everyone was very curious about their team.

There is a shot that follows Lu Chi's team throughout the entire process.

Two important people came to the monitoring room.

"Grand Marshal. Major General Qiao."

Instructors such as Fei Ziming immediately stood up straight.

"Grand Marshal, Major General Qiao!"

Qiao Yuanyu smiled at the soldiers of the First Legion and also smiled friendly at others.

"I just came to take a look. You guys can do whatever you need to do. Don't worry about me."

Qiao Yuanyu and Qiao Xiu found a place to sit down, and Qiao Xiu saw Qiao Ye from Lu Chi's team at a glance.

Fei Ziming stepped forward and said to Qiao Yuanyu and Qiao Xiu, "Marshal, Major General, Lu Chi has grown very well in the Third Legion. The First Legion is very grateful."

Qiao Yuanyu nodded.

Fei Ziming: "Qiao Bang is also a good kid."

Qiao Yuanyu still nodded.

…

Lu Chi and his five companions entered the forest.

As soon as they entered the forest, Lu Chi raised his hand: "Wait!"

Qiao Bang: "Trap."

There was a trap under their feet, a very thin silver wire, and several people carefully stepped over the silver wire.

"Let's go." Lu Chi and his companions ran into the forest.

The team ambushed not far from the entrance sighed. "We didn't ambush Lu Chi."

"Are we waiting for anyone else?"

"No more waiting. With more and more people behind us, the situation will get more chaotic. It's not worth taking such a big risk just for a few points of traps. If we can't ambush Lu Chi, we will retreat immediately."

He threw a trap, and when it didn't work, he retreated directly. He was very decisive.

The instructors were quickly recording the performance of their sentries.

Lu Chi and his companions ran weakly, so Qiao Ye slowed down.

Qiao Ye's ears twitched: "A lot of sentries gathered behind us and caught up with us."

Lu Chi looked at his team: three sentinels whose mental strength had been weakened, and a guide who had mental strength but was physically weak.

Lu Chi made a decision immediately. "Ye Qiao, lead them away first. The four of us will find a secluded spot, and Xie Chen will seize the moment to see if there's a way to organize our mental energy."

Qiao Ye: "Okay."

New member Ying Qiao was very surprised. Lu Chi actually asked an ordinary person to take on such a big responsibility?

But Qiao Bang and Xie Chen didn't seem surprised by Lu Chi's decision.

Isn’t Ye Qiao, an ordinary person, extraordinary?
