Chapter 279 Highlight



"Who's next? Who else is willing to come up?" Ye Hongci looked around.

It was obvious that everyone's originally high spirits were dampened by Tang Ying's ruthless attack.

Although it was a great honor to be guided by Commander Ye, being sent to the infirmary was really painful.

Ye Hongci also saw this, pursed his lips and smiled, reluctantly relaxing the conditions, "Then how about this, two people team up."

She also reminded Tang Ying, "Assistant Tang, please be merciful. These are all new students."

Tang Ying nodded.

Two people can form a team and everyone will be fine.

They came out in pairs and played chess with Tang Ying.

Unfortunately, even with two people, they couldn't last more than a few moves under Tang Ying.

However, with Ye Hongci's advice, Tang Ying stopped at the right time and did not send anyone to the infirmary again.

Ai Meigui was very interested in this and looked at Tu Ran, "Sister Tu Ran, do you want to team up and give it a try?"

Tu Ran didn't really want to join in the fun, "My stomach hurts."

"Ah? Then do we have to go to the infirmary? I know where it is. I'll take you there." Ai Meigui held her hand and said nervously.

Tu Ran felt a little guilty for a moment and shook her head, "No need, it will be ready soon, I will go with you when it's ready."

"No, no, your health is the most important thing. I can find someone else to go with me." Ai Meigui asked worriedly, "Do you really not need to go to the infirmary?"

"No need." Tu Ran smiled and shook her head.

Ai Meigui finally felt relieved and looked around, trying to find a companion.

In the end, she teamed up with Xiang Hou, two people from the Star of Hope.

Unfortunately, the abilities of the two men were not that great. Xiang Hou was not as strong as his brother, and Ai Meigui went there purely to stand out and attract Ye Hongci's attention. Within three minutes of the two going there, one was kicked to the ground by Tang Ying, and the other was slapped in the face by Tang Ying.

Ai Meigui was the one who was kicked to the ground and fell flat on her butt.

She returned to the small stool, holding her butt. As soon as she sat down, she gasped in pain and almost jumped up.

If Ye Hongci hadn't explained to everyone the merits and problems of their moves, Ai Meigui would have jumped up without any image.

Now she could only endure the pain, put on a decent smile, prick up her ears, and prepare to listen carefully to Ye Hongci's praise.

As a result, Ye Hongci looked at her several times, organized his words for a long time, and finally said only one sentence: "Your courage is commendable, and this spirit is worth learning from."

Ai Meigui wanted to cry but had no tears: "Thank you, Chief Ye, for your guidance."

Ye Hongci quickly looked away and looked at the next group.

Ai Meigui's head almost fell on her knees, her two ponytails drooping down to cover her face. She dug her fingers into the ground, making a small hole, and asked weakly, "Sister Tu Ran, was my performance just now very bad? Commander Ye didn't even praise me."

Tu Ran patted her back soothingly, "Not bad, didn't Chief Ye say that your spirit deserves a reward?"

"That's because I have nowhere else to brag about."

"Of course not," Tu Ran said as if she was coaxing a child, "Right now, the entire Harnden galaxy lacks your optimistic spirit the most. The ability of an army is important, but the spirit of vigorous progress and courage to challenge is also worth encouraging. You just happen to have this spirit, so Commander Ye brought this up to praise you." Finally, Tu Ran added, "She praised you instead of others, which shows that you are special in Commander Ye's heart."

Ai Meigui seemed to be moved by her words. She raised her head slightly from her knees, revealing a pair of big watery eyes. "Sister Tu Ran, you are really good at praising people."

Tu Ran smiled and said, "I'm telling the truth. Don't be so dejected here. Keep watching and learn more. Then you can defeat Tang Ying and make Chief Ye look at you with new eyes."

Ai Meigui looked at Tang Ying and sighed, "She is too powerful. I'm afraid no one can beat her except Chief Ye."

Tu Ran turned his head towards her and said nothing.

As Ai Meigui said, so far no one has been able to beat Tang Ying, and it is even rare to fight with Tang Ying for ten minutes.

On the other hand, Tang Ying had been fighting against different people for such a long time without showing any signs of fatigue.

Ye Hongci's initial expectations were dashed.

She had always hoped that there would be a few outstanding ones among this batch of new students, because she planned to form a most elite team to become the cutting edge of the human army in the Harnden galaxy. This proposal had been approved by her superiors, and she personally joined the training program. One of the reasons was to select elite talents and focus on training them.

Unfortunately, there haven't been any outstanding ones so far.

She sighed inwardly, her eyes falling on the faces of those who had not yet played.

The eyes of most of them were filled with admiration and respect for Tang Ying. It is human nature to admire the strong. There were also some people with hesitation and struggle in their eyes. They wanted to compete with Tang Ying, but they did not dare to go up for various reasons.

No one's eyes showed the emotion she wanted.

Until she saw Tu Ran.

She sat on the small stool in a very awkward position, with her chin supported by her hand and her fingers twitching in rhythm. If the stool was not too low to allow her to cross her legs, she would definitely have crossed her legs in a leisurely posture.

His eyes were full of indifference, sometimes looking at the ground, sometimes at the sky, sometimes distracted, only occasionally looking at the fight in the open space. There was no extra emotion in his eyes, as if he was watching a familiar performance.

"What's her name?" Ye Hongci looked at an instructor beside him. The instructor followed her gaze and Tu Ran seemed to sense something at this time and stared at the two of them.

Ye Hongci's heart skipped a beat. This kind of sharp intuition was not something that ordinary people could have.

The instructor recognized Tu Ran and said, "Her name is Tu Ran, she is from Desolate Planet No. 1. She escaped from Desolate Planet not long ago and came to District 999. She was introduced by the head of the mobilization department of District 999."

"Desolate Planet No. 1?" Ye Hongci frowned and looked up suddenly. "It's not an ordinary person who can escape from that place."

"Yes," the instructor nodded, looking at Tu Ran with admiration, "She has very good physical fitness and is improving quickly. Her physical fitness was only in the middle of the pack among the new members at first, but after just five days of training, she was ranked at the front, and the designated physical fitness index was easy for her."

Ye Hongci looked at Tu Ran and had an idea in his mind.

After Tang Ying kicked two more people out, no one dared to stand up.

We are all new members and have not received systematic training. It is certain that we cannot beat Tang Ying. Why should we make things difficult for ourselves?

"Is there anyone else willing to come up?" Ye Hongci asked.

No one answered.

Tu Ran sat upright below. It seemed that this morning's training was about to end.

She should think about what to eat for lunch.

"Then I'll pick a few people to come up and compete."

Tu Ran's shoulders drooped quickly. This was a conditioned reflex after years of studying. Whenever the teacher called on someone to ask a question, she would subconsciously reduce her presence.

Unfortunately, Ye Hongci wanted to call her.

"Tu Ran, come up and try it."

Tu Ran who was picked: "..."

She glanced at Ye Hongci, who was smiling at her. His smile was kind and gentle, and full of encouragement.

Tu Ran: So Ye Hongci and the instructor were talking about her just now, it was not her illusion.

"Come on, Sister Tu Ran!" Ai Meigui encouraged her and whispered, "It doesn't matter if you lose. Everyone loses. No one will laugh at you."

Tu Ran stood up, moved forward and walked towards Tang Ying.

She walked very slowly, which made others think that she had no confidence in herself and was afraid to fight against Tang Ying, but was forced to go up and was ready to die.

Tu Ran was actually thinking about where she should admit defeat so as not to arouse suspicion.

She just wanted to hang around in this place until the "door" opened and then leave quietly. Even if it would cause some waves, her sudden disappearance as a reserve employee who had not yet been converted to a regular employee would not have much impact on the world.

Tu Ran walked to the cart and was still thinking about this while choosing weapons.

Finally, he decided to let Tang Ying kick him out.

Tu Ran chose a stick.

After much hesitation, he finally stood in front of Tang Ying, who asked as usual, "Can we start?"

Tu Ran nodded.

Tang Ying rushed up directly.

Sitting on the sidelines watching the fight just now, Tu Ran had already figured out her routine.

Use the ultimate move at the beginning, intending to eliminate the enemy as quickly as possible.

Tu Ran dodged sideways and avoided her punch, followed by Tang Ying's long legs sweeping over.

She moved so quickly that Tu Ran had no time to step back, so she leaned back and Tang Ying's leg brushed against her nose.

Before Tu Ran could straighten her back, Tang Ying's next move arrived, this time a leg split.

Based on what he had seen before, he knew that Tang Ying had very strong leg strength, and after this chop, Tu Ran estimated that his waist would be broken.

It seemed that dodging was no longer effective, so Tu Ran raised her stick for the first time and took the initiative to attack. Tang Ying quickly avoided the danger and moved her legs to the side. Tu Ran finally stood up and kept a distance from her.

Tang Ying looked at the person in front of her and realized that she was a little different from the previous person, so she looked at her seriously.

She attacked at full speed once again, using both her arms and legs, leaving no room for the opponent to relax. With her speed, anyone else would have been kicked out long ago.

Unfortunately, Tu Ran is a person with supernatural powers. His speed is more than twice as fast as hers. In Tu Ran's eyes, her movements are still not fast enough.

Tu Ran dealt with her, taking her moves while looking for a good opportunity to escape.

It is really hard to find this opportunity. Tang Ying is very ruthless every time she attacks. Her moves can even make the sound of breaking wind. You can imagine how much strength she uses. Tu Ran cannot get over this barrier of her body. Every time her brain decides to retreat after this move, her body reacts conditionedly and takes the move first.

Seeing Tang Ying's face getting darker and darker, and the expressions of the other onlookers becoming more and more shocked, Tu Ran estimated that she could not survive any longer.

Ye Hongci looked at Tu Ran's every move in amazement. This kind of reaction speed can only be achieved with a strong mental power. Having a strong mental power means that one can better control the mecha and even reach a state of becoming one with the mecha.
