It took Ye Qiuling more than half a month to recover from her injury, but Xia Shizhao was relieved to know why she did not return to the school to continue her work.

These days she's been living a miserable life at school. She's beaten up all the top ten people on the leaderboard, and people keep coming up to beat her up every day.

During the break at Xingda University, there were unusually few students on the road today.

The arena was now surrounded by people, and the screams grew louder and louder.

Xia Shizhao dodged the kick from the opposite side by bending over, grabbed the person behind him and threw him away like an eel. The two figures quickly crossed paths, sometimes far and sometimes close, fighting fiercely and evenly.

"Ahhh! Go for it!!"

"Good luck, Xia and Liu!"

Wow! Xia is so handsome!

"Go, Liu!"

"Go, Xuanxuan!!"

Xia Shizhao calmed down slightly, his gaze fixed on Liu Ruxuan as he observed her weaknesses, a bead of sweat trickling down his forehead.

Liu Ruxuan was in no better shape; her chest heaved violently, and her breathing became erratic.

Damn it, they're so difficult to deal with; they can't even get close.

As soon as they got close, Xia Shizhao instantly distanced them, making it impossible for them to get close to anyone.

What is this "devil training"? Can I take her to train with me?

This is unbelievable! A year ago, she could have easily pinned them down with just two blows, but now she's been hitting them for almost an hour, and neither of them has any visible wounds on their bodies, but unsurprisingly, they both have bruises.

Why were there no weapons used to make it?

Because at the start of the game, both players threw each other's weapons off the field.

In a pure hand-to-hand combat scenario, neither side can defeat the other.

They'll be exhausted if this drags on any longer.

After a brief two-second pause, Liu Ruxuan decisively made a pause gesture. "I'm not playing anymore. Our skill levels are about the same. I admit defeat. We might as well play until dark and exhaust ourselves."

Then he voluntarily jumped off the stage.

Xia Shizhao went over to the machine, adjusted the settings, pressed the draw button, and stepped off the stage. He tossed Liu Ruxuan a bottle of energy-boosting potion, and the two of them drank it down.

His aching limbs felt much better, and he left the ring arm in arm with his arm around her shoulder.

The audience members carried on stage: ? ? ? No, they were fighting fiercely just now, like they were enemies, but now they're walking off the stage hand in hand?

The female fans with water and snacks: Did they not even get a chance to fawn over them?

"Where do you train? You've improved so much! You can always predict where I'll shoot. Take me with you next time you train."

"Getting beaten up every day will help you practice your predictions."

Xia Shizhao said with a very serious expression.

Liu Ruxuan scratched her head, "Is it that simple?"

"Yes."

Xia Shizhao nodded.

"Hey, hey, hey, you two!"

Chi Xin ran towards their location from afar.

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Liu Ruxuan crossed her arms and looked at her in surprise.

"The director and the others want you to come over."

"What's wrong?"

"The selections for the Wilderness Competition have been finalized, except for those from the Mech faction."

"Huh? Why not just choose me and Shi Zhao? Why are you agonizing over this?" Liu Ruxuan asked, her face full of surprise and disbelief.

Chi Xin scratched the back of her head and stammered, "You know, some old-fashioned things..."

"Damn it! Those damned alphas!"

With a curse, Liu Ruxuan's face darkened. She gritted her teeth and dragged Xia Shizhao straight to the department head's office.

As soon as Xia Shizhao arrived at the door, he heard a noisy argument inside.

"If the Moon Alliance, the Rain Alliance, and other military academies knew that our school's mecha department only sent two omegas, they'd laugh their heads off!"

"What are you laughing at! Those two are the strongest in school right now! If you look down on omegas, go find an alpha who can beat them! You old codger, go find one from the school!"

Ling Shuang's voice came from inside, as irritable as ever.

"What does this have to do with you, a pharmacy student! You unreasonable shrew!"

"I'm being unreasonable? I think you're completely wrong and speechless! And you're even discriminating against omegas here! You weren't born of an omega, were you!"

"Hmph! Anyway, I disagree. Omegas should just get married, have children, and be good wives and mothers. Why go to the battlefield? The battlefield is what alphas and betas should do."

"What the hell? You're saying those alphas who can't beat me are more suited for the battlefield than I am?"

Liu Ruxuan pushed open the door and entered, looking at Director Yu of the Mecha Department with a half-smile: "If the director doesn't agree to us going, then who will go? Is it that alpha under your command named Yu Cheng? That perennial runner-up? A rookie dragging along a new alpha burden?"

She paused, then added with a disdainful look, "No, Yu Cheng is destined to remain third in the rankings forever."

"You! Who taught such an arrogant student?"

"Don't try to make things difficult for others, and don't label me. My teacher isn't here either. Besides, I have enough people in my eyes, but not you, that's all."

Liu Ruxuan arrogantly raised her head.

Xia Shizhao silently applauded her in his heart. Good for her.

"Who taught you to be so disrespectful? Now, I order you to go back and spend a week learning proper manners!"

Xia Shizhao chuckled lightly and said unhurriedly:

"That's not right. We haven't done anything wrong, so why should we learn the rules? The rule is that the capable should rise to the top, right? What's wrong with denying our abilities just because we're omegas? In that case, you're the one who's even less in line with the rules."

"Now that you're older, just be a good director and stop pointing fingers and acting like you can order people around. That way, we'll respect you a little more."

Xia Shizhao's words were practically accusing him of being disrespectful to his elders.

"Cough cough."

Luo Chuyi walked in from behind them. "Why is it so lively? Why is Major General Yu's face so red?"

Then Luo Chuyi looked at the two of them again, "Hey, Lieutenant Colonel Liu, Xia, why are you still here? Go to the front and get to know the other two people in the training building. We need to go to Mucao Star for a while to get used to each other. The Wilderness Competition is starting in half a month. Students from thousands of military academies will be competing. We can't slack off. Losing would be a huge disgrace to Star University."

"yes."

The two of them immediately ran out, leaving the rest to Luo Chuyi to handle.

Luo Chuyi took a sip of tea and blew on it to cool it down.

"Old Yu, there's no need to get angry. Why make yourself so upset? You don't pick the best, but you insist on giving your bad ones. Just spoil your own grandson. Fighting and killing is no good."

"Yu Cheng isn't an omega! What's wrong with fighting and killing?"

Old Yu glared and puffed out his beard.

Luo Chuyi didn't belong to their branch, so she didn't have much respect for them. She rolled her eyes in front of everyone.

"Then why fight and kill if you can't even beat an omega?"

"Stop being unreasonable. General Ye has already finalized the list. If you have anything to say, go talk to General He or our general. After all, the list for the Star Alliance Wilderness Competition is now under our general's responsibility."

Shrugging and stretching, Luo Chuyi lazily walked out.

I finally get a vacation, but I still have to see these old fogies who use their little bit of power to make a racket everywhere. It's so annoying.

The others didn't bother with Old Man Yu, stood up and left. Ling Shuang rolled her eyes, turned around and left the room, shouting, "Why isn't this self-righteous old fogey dead yet?"

Yu was so angry that his old face turned ashen.

But I didn't dare offend her.

Putting aside the fact that she is the vice president of the Pharmaceutical Association, Chi Lian is her husband, General Gu's, daughter.

A perpetually neutral force.

They can't win them over, nor do they want to offend them.

The group consists of four people: one from the command department, one from the pharmacy department, and two from the mecha department.

When Xia Shizhao and Liu Ruxuan arrived at the meeting point, they saw their teammates and realized they were old acquaintances.

"Chi Xin and Gu Ke, we were just discussing whether it was you two on our way here."

Xia Shizhao looked at the two of them with a smile and said.

Gu Ke looked at them with a gleam in her eyes:

"Hmph, we've already decided. Come on, let's work together for the first time. I hope it's a pleasant collaboration."

"It's a pleasure to work with you."

"It's a pleasure doing business with you!"
