After Yu Man finished yelling, Shi Xing was satisfied.

The sound was so loud that no one outside should have heard it.

Ignoring the whispers outside the ward, Shi Xing gathered his mental strength, exhaled lightly, and stopped pressuring, "There is another condition, do I tell you alone, or..."

Shi Xing glanced at Yu Cai and Yu Huai, "Does it matter if you have friends?"

This time, without Yu Man's reply, Yu Cai and Yu Huai took the initiative to go out, and pulled Shi Ran with them.

It was fine in the ward, but once outside, there were people lying by the door and the window, which surprised Shi Ran. Yu

Cai was angry, "You can leave after the physical examination, go, go."

He was afraid that Yu Man inside would hear it, so he lowered his voice and drove people away.

But there were only Shi Xing and Yu Man in the ward, and neither of them spoke, so the movements outside were clear even in the quietest voices.

Seeing Yu Cai and Yu Huai driving away a bunch of people, Yu Man's eyes went dark and he almost fainted again.

Shi Xing smiled as he thought of something, "Did you think about that when you made the bet, if you won, you would call all the people on Blue Star to see if I would agree to your conditions?"

"Sorry, I disappoint you."

Yu Man was so angry that his face turned red, but Shi Xing's words and actions just now suppressed him. Thinking of the threat of draining his spiritual power, he dared not act rashly.

Once, twice, and three times, Yu Man was really a little afraid of Shi Xing.

After everyone outside the door had left, Shi Xing said again, "Let's get straight to the point. I'm going to cross out a name from your candidates." Yu Man

was stunned.

Seeing that he didn't understand, Shi Xing explained, "Just like you want to ask me not to choose Lu Lu, I also have someone I don't allow you to choose." Yu

Man's eyes widened, and he subconsciously said, "Who told you that this is what I want?!"

"Isn't it?"

Yu Man wanted to deny it, but when he met Shi Xing's indifferent look, he realized that the other party had already made up his mind, and it was useless for him to say anything.

After a moment of rapid breathing and confusion, Yu Man simply gave up and admitted, "Yes, this is what I think, what's wrong?!"

"Nothing, I don't want to get entangled with you on this, listen carefully, I want you to cross out a person."

Then, Shi Xing reported a name.

It was not Yu Man's first choice, but it was one of Yu Man's options. Yu Man bargained, "Why should I agree to you?"

Shi Xing: "I'm not discussing it with you. If you don't agree, I'll just suck your spiritual power with all my might."

Yu Man glared, "The Tree Nest strictly prohibits Blue Star people from sucking each other's spiritual power!"

Shi Xing opened the door and smiled at him, "Yes, the Tree Nest prohibits it, but after the match, you no longer belong to the Tree Nest."

The words were gentle, but the thought of it was chilling.

Shi Xing went out and called Shi Ran to leave.

Yu Cai and Yu Huai entered the ward and saw Yu Man in a daze. Yu Man murmured, "He's crazy, how could he, he..."

He stopped talking halfway, because Shi Xing really could.

If they leave the tree nest, they will no longer have this protective umbrella.

Shi Xing is of such a high rank, and the officer he matches must be of great importance. When the time comes, when the time comes... Yu

Man looked up in panic, "No, I haven't agreed yet, why did he leave?"

"Does he think I won't refuse, or..."

Or maybe Shi Xing has already made plans in his heart. If he doesn't agree, the other party will really take action to suppress him.

The more he thought about it, the more panicked he became. Before Yu Cai and Yu Huai could get the conditions out of Yu Man's nonsense, Yu Man fainted again in shock and fear. Yu Cai and Yu Huai quickly pressed the emergency bell.

Shi Ran listened to Shi Xing's entire story on the way, and his eyes were wide open and he never retracted them.

Shi Ran discovered the singularity: "So he didn't agree, so you left?"

Shi Xing said honestly, "I'm tired and don't want to waste

any more time." "Besides, the word has been passed on. I can't do anything if he doesn't fulfill it. If he really can't get over it, I don't mind draining most of his mental power. If he doesn't die, I'll let him take care of himself for half a year or a year."

Shi Ran was shocked again. After a while, he softly said, "Xingxing, I think... you are a little different."

Shi Xing: "You think I'm too cruel, right?"

Shi Ran wanted to nod, but looking at his friend's face, the words turned into "You can't say that. Although it's a bit scary, if Yu Man can really be honest, it can be regarded as a good thing in disguise."

Seeing Shi Ran lying, Shi Xing laughed and knocked on the other's head.

She wanted to say something to him, but swallowed it and said, "Just wait and see. If we hurt him this time, he won't dare to provoke us easily in the future."

Shi Xing said seriously, "Shi Ran, remember that sometimes blindly tolerating will only make people think you are weak and easy to bully. You can't do that. The environment of the tree nest is simple. When you get out and it's time to protect your own interests, you can't back down."

Shi Xing looked at Shi Ran with an extremely serious look. Although Shi Ran couldn't understand, he instinctively nodded and agreed.

Shi Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, Yu Man was treated even worse by him in his previous life, but that was a long time later. The team that Shi Ran was in was attacked by a high-level mutant star beast. The star beast liked to eat blue star people. He was still in the imperial capital at that time. The nearest army that Shi Ran asked for help was the one that Yu Man was in. Yu Man couldn't stand him, and naturally couldn't stand Shi Ran. After a long delay, when he went back, there was no one left in Shi Ran's team.

The imperial people could still find the corpse, but it was impossible for the blue star people who were swallowed by the star beast.

The name that Shi Xing asked Yu Man to cross out was not someone else, but his partner in his previous life. It was indeed not Yu Man's first choice, but it would be Yu Man's best choice at the dinner party.

It was still early now, and Shi Xing wanted to avoid it from the source.

Of course, he couldn't influence Yu Man at the dinner, but just as he threatened, if Yu Man didn't agree, he would really drain his mental strength and make him rest for half a year or a year and not be able to follow the army.

But the same effect on him might not be the same for Yu Man. It depends on Yu Man.

Shi Xing and Shi Ran went back to their residence to rest, but for more people, this night was destined to be sleepless.

Lu Lu didn't even know how he got back to the tree nest residence.

After the talent evaluation, he subconsciously wanted to wait for Shixing and meet him, but the administrator had all the matching candidates cleared out. When leaving, Lu Lu closed his eyes and heard a lot of discussions.

"It's not easy to have such a person in more than a hundred years since the establishment of Tree Nest."

"The application form can be submitted later. With such a highly evaluated Blue Star person, it seems that the seven major legions will show up this time."

"This requires a match of SSS level, right? SS+, which means there is a possibility of leapfrogging."

Shaking his head to stop thinking about those words, Lu Lu buried his head in his hands in pain.

The proud young Master Lu has been a man of his own ideas since he was young. Even when Shi Xing hinted that the opponent might be rated more than A-level, even S-level, he had prepared a plan, but... SS+ was beyond his imagination and the upper limit of what he could handle.

For the first time, Lu Lu felt very confused and didn't know what to do.

Was he going to give up on Shi Xing, but... he liked Shi Xing...

And more candidates who left the stage passed the news to their respective legions as soon as possible.

Photos, short videos, and some unstable images recorded during the test were transmitted back to the imperial capital like snowflakes that night, flying to every corner of the empire.

Different people in different camps had different reactions to what they heard, but there was only one reaction that was common, shock.

Shocked at the upper limit of the level of the Blue Star people, shocked that... in the near future, there will finally be a possibility of curing high-level mental problems.

Chi Yao woke up the next day, and his inbox was flooded with news from the imperial capital.

Apart from the daily business that needed to be resolved by the military and the Senate, the rest, without exception, were inquiries about talent assessments.

One or two, nothing else, but well-informed.

Half an hour after he reviewed the documents, the Elders Council forced a call. The content was still the same old thing, but this time there was a clear goal, first to cry for his mental state, and then to persuade him to take the Time Star away for the sake of the empire and the military.

Chi Yao had been immune to this scene for more than ten years. No matter how loudly the distant relative with royal blood cried and how earnestly he spoke in the video, he handled his official duties without any change in expression. After

the other party finished crying, Chi Yao dismissed the Council of Elders with the same words as he dismissed the administrator, "Let's talk about it when the optical computer can recommend him as a candidate."

However, the Council of Elders can be perfunctory, but family members cannot. When he video-called his nephew, he learned that Xu Jin, the attendant who watched him grow up and is currently taking care of his nephew, had already left for the Tree Nest after hearing the news. Even so, Chi Yao frowned. Uncle

Xu's connections are all in the Royal Guards, so it goes without saying that it was his subordinates who reported it.

It was impossible to find out who it was. Seeing that they brought several people, there might be more than one or two.

Knowing that everyone was doing this for his own good, Chi Yao also had a headache.

A little later, the Speaker of the Senate called Chi Yao and informed him that a large number of matching application forms had been poured into the Senate overnight. People from the seven major legions were leading the way, including many politicians and interstellar businessmen. Their conditions were very good, but it was not realistic for all of them to pass. He asked Chi Yao how to deal with it.

Chi Yao let it go.

Not long after, the administrator asked for a meeting, and Chi Yao let him in.

He was also talking about talent assessment.

"Your Highness, the results of the talent assessment have been verified in previous years and the Tree Nest will announce them on the Star Network. Soldiers can further view related videos through their IDs. This year... will it be announced?"

Shi Xing's level is too high. After one night, it is still like this. If it is officially announced, the administrator does not know what the result will be.

Chi Yao thought of this last night, and after one night, there was a result.

"Announce, announce it normally."

"But this year, add an extra list and announce the current qualified candidates together. Put the names, the legion they belong to, and the mental power level on it."

The administrator understood that Xiang Heze and Tan Yan had already participated, and others would think twice before seeing them.

After saying this, Chi Yao sent a message to the speaker, asking him to send him the application form for those whose mental power level reached 2s. He would review it and reject all those who did not reach that level. The speaker agreed.

Later, Tree Nest announced the results of the talent assessment on Star Network, and also announced the candidates for this match.

Tan Wen of the Seventh Army watched the video and worried, "With such a high level, will His Majesty..."

Yun Wu: "I tried it. His Majesty asked us to prepare the application form at that time. It should be unintentional."

After thinking about it, Yun Wu was determined: "His Majesty always keeps his word. Besides, there has been no matching for so many years. I feel that there should be some reasons, not just the level difference."

Xiang Wenyin of the Fifth Army, that is, Xiang Heze's elder sister, saw it and laughed, "It seems that Heze will not be too smooth this year."

At the same time, Tree Nest issued a notice to the matching candidates for routine mental power level testing.

Every year before the matching dinner, the optical computer will collect the current mental power data of each candidate and make the best matching recommendations for the Blue Star people and candidates.

Later, in the Prince's Mansion, the Princess was arranging flowers when she learned that the talent assessment showed an SS+.

When she heard Shi Xing's name, Princess Tan Shao accidentally cut off a royal rose.

"Are you sure it's Shi Xing?"

After getting the confirmation, Tan Shao put down the flower scissors and called Lu Lu.

No one answered.

After pacing for a while, Tan Shao decided, "Prepare a spaceship, I want to go to the tree nest."
