This is just him trying to save face.

A hint of a smile flashed in Su Qiluo's eyes, a mixture of surprise and delight.

He didn't expect the principal to speak up for him.

"Your Highness is gentle and virtuous, and also kind-hearted. It is a blessing for everyone in Kapaqiong to have such a princess." The principal followed up on Mu Jingfeng's words, which was also a way to give him a way out.

"That's too kind of you," Mu Jingfeng smiled and didn't bring up the topic again.

After exchanging a few more official compliments, the two arrived at the testing site for the third stage.

The test site was simply and elegantly arranged, with two seats of honor surrounded by tiered seating, prepared for generals of different merits and ranks.

The senior cadets from the military academy stood respectfully on both sides. Upon seeing them arrive, the leader shouted, "Attention! Salute!"

Immediately, all the senior students raised their hands in unison to salute, creating a grand scene where a few hundred people appeared as if there were tens of thousands.

"You've worked hard." The principal raised his hand slightly and turned to look at Mu Jingfeng. "Your Majesty, please take a seat."

Mu Jingfeng nodded slightly, smiled at the principal, and followed him to the seat at the top.

After the two of them took their seats, Su Qiluo went to his own seat and looked down. There was a piece of equipment placed in the very center.

Over the years, that instrument has never been changed. It's a panel that can fit a palm, with what looks like an eye mask on it, but it's actually a device for testing mental strength.

He looked away from the instruments and towards where the new students had come in, waiting to see his wife.

The live streaming device was turned on at this time.

[Wow, it's starting! It's starting! Brother Mu, Brother Mu, can you see me, Brother Mu?]

[Your Highness, wow, you're so beautiful! You're like a celestial being!]

[Little bunny Wenyue, so cute! Little bunny, come quickly into your big sister's arms.]

【My proud and aloof Xuan Ye, I've finally seen you again! You're so handsome, baby!】

[Kazeel! We'll beat you to a pulp for you!]

[Get out of the way, you're blocking Brother Mu from seeing my comments!]

[Oh, isn't this Mu Qingyun's rude fan? Just like their idol, they have no manners at all!]

Wow, our princess is truly the darling of the group! The king is watching her from the high platform and smiling—how doting he is!

[Haha, our princess is the most powerful! Who dares to challenge her?]

As soon as the live stream started, the viewers who had been waiting immediately began typing on their keyboards to cheer on their favorites.

Of course, Mu Qingyun's fans and Mu Xueyao's fans also clashed a lot, and in no time, comments quickly filled the entire screen.

"The third test begins. Please enter the arena in turn to test your mental strength."

At the command of the organizer, each staff member leading the contestants took out their mobile phones and began the lottery.

"We're number 42, the last one." The staff member looked at the number displayed on his phone and sighed helplessly.

His luck isn't so good!

However, Mu Qingyun was quite pleasantly surprised to hear this.

Her plan, if implemented, might hinder the testing of the later contestants. She was the last one, it was like a godsend.

However, because her number was towards the back, she was also very far back in the line. Standing at number 42, she couldn't see Su Qiluo at all.

But from position 42, you can see everyone who came from the second level.

She saw many familiar faces.

Butterfly Dance, Fan Xuanye, Kazel, Mu Xueyao, Wenyue, and Xiong Ruoyou were also selected.

The people around her had different expressions, but her friends were all happy, while Mu Xueyao looked unhappy, and Wen Yue's face was full of displeasure.

If you're unhappy, so be it; she's over it anyway.

[Oh, how did Mu-ge get the last one?]

[Hey, you upstairs, haven't you heard the saying, "The best is always the last one to appear"? Our Brother Mu is the best!]

...

As people walked forward one after another, reaching the instrument, they raised their hands to press on it while looking at the "blindfold," activating their spiritual power in their eyes.

The white background on the outside of the blindfolds indicates the level of each person's mental strength.

The second stage has seven levels as the passing standard, which is destined to eliminate many people.

The first few people who went all looked utterly hopeless, and sure enough, the results of the test were disappointing.

As the number of people gradually decreased, only slightly more than half of the people in the line that had passed through were still there.

Fan Xuanye has left.

The third stage, first section, is indeed a formidable individual.

[Our Emperor Xuan Ye is truly amazing; I won't say who got the pleasure.]

...

Kazel is gone; he's in the second stage of the third phase, and he's even stronger.

Wow, Kazel, Mom loves you, you're so cool!

...

A few more random people joined in, resulting in a 50/50 pass rate.

Wen Yue went there, and passed the second stage, level seven. Hmm, just passed.

Butterfly Dance has gone. She's reached the seventh stage of the second phase, which is pretty good. She remembers that the last time she saw Butterfly Dance, she was only at the fifth stage of the second phase. In such a short time, she has improved so much.

Mu Xueyao went there. She was in the second stage of the third phase. I didn't realize that this woman's mental strength was so strong.

As soon as Mu Xueyao passed the test, Mu Jingfeng on the platform immediately smiled. Seeing this, the principal also took the opportunity to say a few words of praise.

Mu Jingfeng happily accepted the compliments and looked towards Mu Qingyun.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and a gloating smile quickly appeared on his face, but it disappeared from the corner of his mouth in an instant.

Our prince is truly amazing, so incredible! No wonder he's someone I admire!

Your Highness, I love you.

Okay, stop going too far. We fans need to behave ourselves.

...

A few more cannon fodder Bs went, and this group had a very high pass rate; only one person failed, while the rest passed.

Xiong Ruoyou went up.

Seeing the bear nervously approach, Mu Qingyun already understood most of the situation; it was probably hopeless.

However, when Xiong Ruoyou placed her hand on the instrument, a surprising scene unfolded.

Phase Three, Stage Two!

She's actually at the third stage, second rank!

The moment the words appeared on the blindfold, not only Mu Qingyun, but also Kazel and Diewu showed surprise. Diewu even looked at Xiong Ruoyou in disbelief a few times.

Wow, Sister Black Bear is amazing! She's already at Stage 3, Level 2!

[Truly, our Black Bear sister is quite the hidden talent!]

...

On the high platform, Su Qiluo frowned.

Something's not right. He knew Xiong Ruoyou's level; with her talent, it was absolutely impossible for her to improve so much in such a short time!

His eyes gleamed, and he narrowed them, staring intently at Xiong Ruoyou.

His spiritual energy swirled around Xiong Ruoyou. He couldn't gauge her true level, but he sensed a different aura emanating from her.

It was the aura that Mytel possessed, a unique ability to conceal his spiritual power!
