The Federation obviously attached great importance to the first pilot inter-school league. The ship that transported the students to the planet of Weilun was a small warship - the kind that had retired from the battlefield with many merits.
This is a perfect "history lesson". Just by looking at the various obvious repair marks on the battleship's hull, you can imagine how fierce the battle was at that time.
Instructor Dong stood at the front of the warship entrance, his arms folded, his expression serious.
"Hurry up and get on board, no noise allowed!"
His aura was extremely powerful, and his mental strength carried a tangible pressure.
The students who were queuing up to board the boat were originally very excited, looking around and chatting non-stop, but after hearing Instructor Dong's voice, they were like mice seeing a cat, and they were so nervous that they even slowed down their breathing.
Gu Qiongsheng was standing at the back, standing on tiptoe to watch curiously: "Who is this person?"
Qin Yuan said softly, "The devil instructor from the First War College should be our chief examiner this time, as expected."
"Be careful, don't stare at him too much. People with high spiritual power can sense it. I heard that all the students he targeted were exhausted during training."
Gu Qiongsheng was shocked: "Is it so scary?"
They walked quietly with their heads down as they followed the large group up the stairs.
The interior of the spacecraft is very spacious.
The transport area, storage area, activity area...especially the long bridge, the front part of which is closed as a rest area for examiners, but the back part is open to the examinees.
Through the window, one could see the rapidly passing red light and the metallic portholes. When the spaceship passed through this area, the vast universe suddenly appeared before Gu Qiongsheng's eyes.
Countless stars were scattered on the dark sky, shining with silver-white light, illuminating the surroundings. From time to time, starlight with long and dazzling tails passed by the portholes, and gravel fell on the protective shield of the spacecraft, rubbing out a colorful spark.
Gu Qiongsheng stood steadily by the window, looking at it in a somewhat intoxicated manner.
Although the original owner had taken spaceships many times, for Gu Qiongsheng, this was the first time she had seen such a magnificent scenery.
It turns out that there are so many beautiful stars in the universe, shining like holy light, so beautiful that it makes people's hearts tremble.
When Gu Qiongsheng came to her senses, she realized that Qin Yuan had been standing beside her for a long time. Seeing that her eyes had finally moved away from the starry sky, Qin Yuan smiled and said, "It's very beautiful, isn't it?"
Gu Qiongsheng nodded.
Qin Yuan also raised his head and gazed at the distant galaxy. His voice was clear and magnetic: "Me too. No matter how many times I see such a view, it will always be as shocking as the first time I saw it."
"The longer I look, the more I realize how insignificant humans really are in such a vast universe. But think about it: among so many planets, only less than one in a billion could possibly harbor life, and we are one of them."
Gu Qiongsheng sighed: "Yes."
"Human existence itself is a miracle."
As they spoke, the spaceship passed through the star cluster.
Colorful lights whizzed and swirled, countless pieces of debris fell with a crackling sound, and were then bounced off by the spacecraft's protective shield, sparks bursting, like a wonderful firework display in the universe.
Qin Yuan explained: "Outside Tianyuan Star is a dusty area."
The other members of the team had rarely seen such a scene, and they gathered in front of the porthole, watching intently and unable to help but admire it.
When Lu Yuanji passed by the porthole, he saw Gu Qiongsheng in the crowd at a glance.
It had become almost a conditioned reflex for him now. The moment he saw Gu Qiongsheng, his brows furrowed, and he muttered to himself in a mocking tone, "What a bunch of bumpkins! They even spent so much time looking at the Dust District."
His voice was not loud, and Gu Qiongsheng didn't hear it clearly, but Qin Yuan turned around as if he had sensed something, and his eyes passed over the crowd and fell on Lu Yuanji's face.
After seeing Qin Yuan’s face clearly, Lu Yuanji was stunned for a moment.
Although I don’t know him, I feel inexplicably... a little familiar?
He reached out and tugged at the sleeve of the girl next to him: "Zhao Qingke, look, who is that person?"
Zhao Qingke's expression was even uglier than his.
Or rather, ever since she discovered that Gu Qiongsheng's team had boarded the spaceship, her face had become as ugly as the bottom of a pot.
Now being pulled by Lawrence Lu, she glanced reluctantly a few times: “Um…who is it?”
"I don't recognize it. Have you seen it before?"
Qin Yuan has changed a lot from before.
If he was a brilliant star before, he is now as thin as a willow. Standing quietly by the porthole, his back is thin and his clothes are loose, as if he can be blown away by the wind.
His face was also soft and pale, showing the fragility of his owner at the moment.
Lu Yuanji vaguely thought of someone.
But the difference in temperament was so great that he couldn't believe it at all.
Maybe it's someone who looks similar...
As Lu Yuanji pondered this, he muttered quietly, “Anyway, even pulling someone like this who’s obviously useless into the team, it seems like they really can’t find anyone else—Hey, Gu Qiongsheng, are you trying to scam other teams by recruiting this kind of sickly person into the team?”
He spoke these words in a loud voice, and not only Gu Qiongsheng, but also several students passing by looked over.
Gu Qiongsheng said bluntly, "I'm sorry, but I can't imagine who would try to scam a mad dog."
Lu Yuanji's anger suddenly rose.
But before he could say anything, Gu Qiongsheng said, "The porthole is very close to the command area. Are you sure you want to quarrel and curse here and let the examiner hear it?"
"Do you think they will first deduct a fine from you for disrupting discipline?"
Lu Yuanji: “…”
Lu Yuanji’s chest heaved, suppressing his anger: “Points will be deducted from both sides.”
Gu Qiongsheng smiled.
"Hey, come on then?" she said with a smile. "Those with bare feet are not afraid of those with shoes. Even if we lose points, we will just go back to Class F. What about you?"
"Come empty-handed, leave empty-handed, can you afford to lose this person?"
Lu Yuanji: “……!”
…
Walking back to the rest area angrily, Lu Yuanji's face turned red.
He grabbed a glass of sparkling water from the table and drank it in one gulp. Then he wiped the corner of his mouth and said, "What the hell? They are so arrogant. Sooner or later, I will tear them apart in the exam room!"
"Who is it?"
Sheng Zhang raised his head curiously, and seeing Lu Yuanji's furious expression, he immediately understood: "Gu Qiongsheng again?"
He cheerfully poured Lu Yuanji another glass of sparkling water and said casually, "Why do you always pick on her? The key is that every time, you never get what you want..."
Lu Yuanji: “…”
Damn, that hurts.
Seeing his expression become even worse, Zhao Qingke quickly changed the subject: "By the way, we just saw from the window that Gu Qiongsheng's team had changed players. They should be their substitutes."
"That person looks sick and pale. He must have been randomly picked from Class F. He's definitely not that powerful."
Talking about this, Lu Yuanji's mood improved a little.
He sipped his straw and mumbled, "That's it!"
"He's obviously a piece of trash... Come to think of it, I think that guy looks a bit like Qin Yuan?"
"You know, that rising star Qin Yuan from a few years ago, who later failed to awaken."
Zhao Qingke frowned: "...resemble them?"
She had heard of Qin Yuan.
I even used to admire him.
However, Qin Yuan is not an idol star, and his face is rarely exposed. At most, they hear his name and deeds in federal news.
Secondly, several years have passed, and Zhao Qingke can't remember what the other person in the news looked like. He only remembers his aggressive and heroic demeanor - compared with the man standing next to Gu Qiongsheng just now, they are completely different.
"No," Zhao Qingke said, "I can't see any resemblance at all. The man just now was too pale and too thin."
Lu Yuanji recalled carefully: "Well... if you put it that way, it really doesn't seem like it..."
What was unexpected was that while they were discussing "Qin Yuan" here, Sheng Zhang had not reacted at all, but Ling Kaixuan, who had been leaning against the wall dejectedly, raised his head instead.
He was dressed in black, looking fierce and murderous. His eyes looked like they held a knife in their mouths when he glanced at me. He suddenly interrupted, "...Who?"
"Who do you think it looks like?"
…
Dining room.
Compared to the luxury of the stadium building, the restaurant here has more of a military canteen feel, providing simple meals, and the staple food is mostly nutritional supplements.
So there aren't many people, and it can even be said to be quite deserted.
Gu Qiongsheng and his group randomly picked some food and sat down in the corner of the restaurant.
After a while, Tan Yao left the table on the pretext of "going to the bathroom".
After a while, Zhou Qing and Han Tianming also said they wanted to go back to the porthole to take another look, and left one after another.
Although they didn't say it explicitly, Gu Qiongsheng and Qin Yuan knew that they felt that the five of them gathered together was too conspicuous.
Even if no one can recognize Qin Yuan, they hope to reduce the probability a little more.
Especially Tan Yao, with his dazzling red hair, everyone who entered the restaurant couldn't help but glance in his direction.
After swallowing a mouthful of nutrient solution, Gu Qiongsheng felt a little emotional.
Although he looks careless, he is actually very meticulous at critical moments.
He's a good teammate.
Qin Yuan was a little uneasy.
He lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "It was really too much of a stretch for me to squeeze into your team..."
"What are you afraid of?" Gu Qiongsheng comforted him, "Failure in awakening shouldn't be the end of a person's future and destiny. This is a good opportunity for you."
Qin Yuan shook his head helplessly.
He opened his lips slightly, about to say something else.
Gu Qiongsheng, however, picked up a small piece of cake with his fork, and with a smile, handed it to the young man's mouth, blocking his mouth in time: "Here, have a piece?"
Qin Yuan: “…”
The girl with her head tilted to the side and smiling has a beautiful face. Her right hand is resting on her cheek in boredom. Her amber eyes seem to be sprinkled with honey, and her wrists are slender and white.
Qin Yuan silently took the cake and swallowed it.
Very sweet.
It was sweeter than any cake he had eaten in the past decade.
Gu Qiongsheng smiled and said, "Eat some sweets, you will feel better... Don't look at me, it was all Tan Yao who said that."
"I don't know what's wrong with that guy. Ever since the last competition, he's fallen in love with sweets. He's stubborn and keeps making all kinds of excuses, saying things like sweets help you think, that eating sweets makes you feel good... It's all nonsense. I think he's going to eat himself into a fat man sooner or later."
Qin Yuan laughed.
Although he knew it was a fallacy, for some reason, after eating this small piece of cake, he felt much better.
After hesitating for a moment, Qin Yuan said: "Actually..."
"call out!"
A sound of breaking air was heard, and Gu Qiongsheng saw with his sharp eyes that a hard object was thrown from the side, and the target was Qin Yuan's shoulder!
She suddenly stretched out her hand and grabbed the white light!
A cold touch fell into the palm of his hand. The hard object moved so fast and with such great force that Gu Qiongsheng's wrist trembled.
"hiss--"
Gu Qiongsheng took a breath and looked down.
She was holding a fork in her hand.
The front end is very sharp and emits a cold light.
Gu Qiongsheng's anger suddenly surged up, and he looked up suddenly: "Who is it? What are you doing?!"
At the dining table not far away, Ling Kaixuan looked coldly.
He ignored Gu Qiongsheng and stared at Qin Yuan: "...is it really you?"
When he saw Ling Kaixuan, Qin Yuan's expression suddenly changed.
The smile quickly faded, replaced by deep helplessness. He didn't say anything, but just covered his mouth with his hand and coughed softly a few times.
Gu Qiongsheng quickly gave him a shot of milk.
At the same time, she was a little confused.
This Ling Kaixuan... knows Qin Yuan?
After coughing, Qin Yuan whispered, "I didn't expect to see you here."
"I didn't expect that either," Ling Kaixuan said coldly, "Come on, let's fight."
Qin Yuan: “…”
Gu Qiongsheng: “???”
Qin Yuan smiled bitterly: "I failed to awaken, and my mental strength has completely disappeared."
"Everyone knows it, but you don't know it?"
Ling Kaixuan's brows knitted together, his expression strange and angry: "...I don't believe it, you are pretending."
"That's enough, stop being unreasonable."
Gu Qiongsheng was becoming increasingly annoyed with the boys: "If it's so easy to pretend that you failed to awaken, why don't you try one for me?"
Qin Yuan also said: "I have seen all the senior doctors in the Federation. If I am pretending, then they are all wrong?"
Ling Kaixuan's expression became increasingly ugly, his entire face so gloomy that water could almost be squeezed out of it.
"I don't care," he said. "Your presence in the intercollegiate tournament is proof of that."
"Brother Yuan, you clearly said before that as long as my strength can keep up, you will take me to form a team."
"Why don't you keep your word?"
Qin Yuan: “…”
Gu Qiongsheng: “!!!”
The sounds in my ears are getting farther away.
For a moment, the only sound lingering in Gu Qiongsheng's ears was "Brother Yuan, Brother Yuan, Brother Yuan..."
She stared at Qin Yuan blankly, and seeing that he looked extremely helpless, she couldn't help but look back at Ling Kaixuan, who had a sour face.
It's incredible!
Ling Kaixuan actually calls Qin Yuan "Brother Yuan"?
Is this still the Ling Kaixuan she knows?
Ling Kaixuan, who has his eyes in the sky, looks at everyone with an expression that says "you are no longer useful to me", refuses to accept anyone, and calls everyone "trash"?
Gu Qiongsheng was extremely curious, and his eyes kept wandering between the two of them.
Qin Yuan's scalp tingled when he saw her looking at him. He felt so bitter that he couldn't say anything. He could only smile bitterly and shake his head repeatedly.
On the other side, Ling Kaixuan's face became worse and worse.
He frowned, looking at Gu Qiongsheng with cold eyes, and there was a hint of murder in his voice: "It's okay if you don't say it, Gu Qiongsheng, right?"
"Be careful! In the second round, I will defeat your team piece by piece."
"I don't believe you can still bear it at that time."
Gu Qiongsheng: “…?”
An unexpected disaster, an unprovoked calamity?
