Suddenly, a large amount of sandstorm surged around Lin Yiran. The sandstorm seemed to have a spirit, swirling and dancing around her. At first glance, it looked like a small sandstorm.

The large sandstorm in the distance must be a mother and child, or perhaps a newborn one, small and adorable.

Then the small sandstorm gradually dissipated, and Sen Qi'an felt something different about his body, as if there was an extra transparent barrier. He tested it with his mental power and found that there really was a barrier, light brown in color, standing around them, several feet high.

What are they doing?

Could they be trying to fight off the sandstorm with their own strength? No, that's too dangerous.

Sen Qi'an grabbed Lin Yiran's shoulder, urging her to look at him. Lin Yiran turned around in confusion and heard him say, "This is too risky. You'll get hurt. Remove the barrier!"

Lin Yiran looked at him seriously and said, "Let me try. There's no other way now, otherwise we'll all be buried here when this tornado comes."

Sen Qi'an: "Don't talk nonsense, that's not true. We can use the vegetation in the oasis to hold out for a while. Once the teachers arrive, they'll have tanks that can withstand gales up to level eight."

But it's too late.

Lin Yiran glanced at the giant tornado approaching her in the distance and decided it was best to stick to her opinion.

As the tornado roared toward them, she immediately raised a massive barrier, enveloping all the military academy students inside.

By the time the school teachers arrive, many students here will have already been taken away.

As Lin Yiran's barrier rose, it blocked the direction of the tornado, but the huge metal wall still could not stop the force of the tornado, which swept over the oasis as if it were intentionally meant to.

During this period, which was outside the protected area of ​​Lin Yiran, those coconut trees that were tens of meters tall were uprooted and scattered in the tornado, which shows how powerful the tornado was.

Lin Yiran held the crystal core in one hand, desperately absorbing it, while continuously outputting her supernatural power with the other. The supernatural power crystal core in her dantian spun rapidly, almost smoking. She vaguely felt a pain in her stomach, but it also seemed like a sudden change was taking place.

Her supernatural power continued to be absorbed and output without compression, which seemed to make her meridians flow more smoothly, and her supernatural power output became larger and more powerful.

But it still couldn't withstand the tornado, which was several hundred meters in diameter.

With a 'crack', the metal barrier showed signs of cracking.

Sen Qi'an's expression hardened, and after a moment's hesitation, he waved his hand and condensed his spiritual power into a barrier, covering Lin Yiran's barrier and adding another layer of protection.

Those present were stunned by his action.

They all knew what this meant.

"Commander, this won't do! Your mental strength will be damaged if the tornado breaks through the barrier!"

This could have very serious consequences. They've seen too many people whose mental abilities have been damaged. Being unable to use their mental abilities is a minor issue; in severe cases, they might become mentally impaired, or even have their brains shut down completely, meaning they'll never wake up again!

Sen Qi'an's actions clearly show that he has gone all out and disregarded his own life!

They were moved but also a little scared. A 2S-level commander who was going to join the army in the future, what a pity if he were to perish on this field.

Sen Qi'an didn't say anything, gritting his teeth and enduring it, even with blood at the corner of his mouth.

Seeing this, Xie Qian immediately followed Sen Qi'an's example and raised a layer of mental barrier to cover it. With a 'snap', the barrier was reinforced, and the sandstorm that was blown in was reduced.

At the same time, other students with S-level or higher mental strength immediately used their mental strength to raise barriers. Although the effect was not great, it was certainly not comparable to that of Sen Qi'an, Xie Qian, and the commanders of the other military academies, but it was better than nothing and could still reinforce the barrier.

As a result, more and more commanders joined in, raising barriers to cover Lin Yiran's barrier.

Layer upon layer, until there are hundreds of layers, quantitative change leads to qualitative change, and the barrier becomes as solid as a rock in an instant, as hard as a huge mountain!

The tornado was blocked and, due to their intervention, had to change direction, sweeping northwestward and carrying with it a cloud of dust.

After the tornado moved away, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like they had survived a disaster. After Lin Yiran put away the metal barrier, she felt as if she had collapsed, her whole body was weak and powerless, and her forehead was covered with large beads of sweat, which was a side effect of overdrawing her superpowers.

Upon closer inspection, she found that the crystal core in her dantian was empty, so she simply exchanged for another batch of crystal cores and slowly absorbed them.

Although absorption was easy, when she actually absorbed it, her dantian was throbbing slightly, and her meridians throughout her body also hurt a bit when they were filled with supernatural power because they had been widened.

Fortunately, she was alright and just needed some rest. Lin Yiran felt dizzy for a moment and then fainted.

When I woke up again, I was in a hospital bed.

Jin Shuo, An Peipei, and Sen Qi'an were all there, as were the teachers. They all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Lin Yiran wake up.

The doctor said, "It's just exhaustion. You can leave once you wake up," and then shooed everyone out.

After saying goodbye to her teachers, Lin Yiran went to the restaurant with them for a meal. They insisted on cooking for her, and she didn't refuse. She prepared the food and watched them cook. The meal didn't look very appetizing, but with Lin Yiran's guidance, it didn't taste too bad and was edible.

"Mmm, this tomato and egg stir-fry is so delicious! It's sour and has the aroma of eggs. Mmm, it's absolutely amazing with rice!" An Peipei was so happy with the taste that she almost cried.

"Try this potato and chicken dish, it's a specialty I learned from her!" Jin Shuo picked up a piece and put it in his bowl.

"Spicy and savory, it's my favorite dish."

Others: "This pickled fish is pretty good too. It's my first time cooking, and I didn't expect it to taste so good. I think I do have some talent." It was Han Bing who said this.

This guy is used to being narcissistic. Jin Shuo almost couldn't help but expose him, but considering that there was a girl he liked next to him, and given their relationship, he would have already started teasing him.

An Peipei: "Mmm, this is sour and spicy, and it suits my taste perfectly! No, I think this is the best dish of all!"

"It tastes even better than your scrambled eggs with tomatoes?" Lin Yiran asked.

An Peipei: "Of course, pickled fish is the best!"

That feels like an overstatement.
