The reason why Li Chonghe resigned earlier was because Wen Xihe's pheromones suddenly went out of control.

Once an Alpha's mental power goes out of control and triggers a chain reaction, the most likely outcome is death by a headshot.

There was no possibility that Cen Yu's pheromones would go out of control due to Omega's presence inside the training pod—the simulator was not the real person entering this space; everything was simulated. Even if real pheromones could be simulated within the space (sometimes requiring pheromone resistance training), once the simulator realized that this would cause a mental disturbance, it would automatically activate its defense program to resolve it.

It's clearly not Cen Yu's most vulnerable period right now, and Lan Yao knows the cycle of when Cen Yu takes leave to go home, so he naturally understands that now is not the time.

He and Sang Huaizhou later suspected that some of the tasks within the Nott Planet instance required Cen Yu to excessively mobilize his mental energy to complete, which led to the subsequent situation.

"Haven't you considered that possibility?"

Their conversation was definitely not overheard, so Sang Huaizhou bluntly voiced his suspicion, "A second talent?"

The relationship between the Lan Yao family and the Second Legion is self-evident. As a powerful noble family in Xingdu, the Sang Huaizhou family naturally knows this almost "open secret." Alphas who enter the military will unlock their second talent with the help of special instruments and drugs.

This is comparable to Alpha's secondary differentiation.

“The pheromones of the riot, Cen Yu’s concealed attitude.” Sang Huaizhou held up a finger. “…That Huo Shen is suspicious.”

Sang Huaizhou's expression was somewhat grim as he spoke, "Although extremely dangerous situations may give an Alpha the chance to activate their second talent, the overactivity and uncontrollability of their mental energy is more likely to result in a headshot."

This is common knowledge that even Alphas know.

“Simulators, which are devices that directly connect to mental energy, are more likely to cause headshots.”

In Sang Huaizhou's view, this fake Huo Shen probably had ill intentions.

"...Could it really be space pirates?" Sang Huaizhou wondered. "Deliberately approaching students at the Imperial Military Academy, telling them about their second talent, leading them to overexert their mental energy, and ultimately causing them to explode in the head?"

If Huo Shen knew about Sang Huaizhou's suspicions, he would probably cry out that he was wronged!

He genuinely didn't know this would result in a headshot!

After all, Huo Shen had never formally studied theoretical knowledge, nor did he know what mental power loss and riot meant... He was genuinely well-intentioned and wanted to help Cen Yu unlock his second talent.
