But this shouldn't be an illusion. According to Shi Dingyan, when one's spiritual power reaches a certain level, one will always be able to sense certain things in the dark.
After listening to Yang Lingjie complain for a while, as time went by, the lights in the camp gradually went out, and the surroundings slowly became quiet.
Martial artists are generally self-disciplined; aside from training, they don't stay up all night at all.
After Yang Lingjie fell asleep, Shen Qian was about to meditate on the forbidden projection for a while when his ears suddenly twitched.
He raised an eyebrow, lifted the tent flap, and went outside. There was a military man standing outside with a gun. When he saw Shen Qian come out, he saluted Shen Qian and then turned and marched forward.
Shen Qian silently followed, walking all the way out of the camp, and saw the figure standing on the hill with his hands behind his back.
"Report, brought before the sinking!"
The soldiers stood at attention and shouted loudly.
"Okay, let's go back."
Yu Shousi nodded, and after the military warriors had gone, he turned to Chen Qian and smiled, "At the beginning of the school year, there were many things to do, and I only have some free time now, so I can only disturb your peaceful dream."
Although the two had only met twice, Yu Shousi would contact Shen Qian from time to time through the bracelet, so the two had become relatively familiar with each other. Shen Qian then jumped up the hill and stood side by side with Yu Shousi.
"I haven't rested yet," Shen Qian said with a smile. "Did Director Yu want to see me about something?"
"There's something I need to discuss with you, or rather, it's more like a favor."
After pondering for a moment, Yu Shousi spoke.
"What?"
Shen Qian was taken aback when he saw Yu Shousi's serious expression.
"Take a look at this first."
Yu Shousi handed a file bag marked with a confidentiality mark to Shen Qian.
Shen Qian didn't rush to take it. He shook his head and smiled, "Director Yu, you should just tell me directly. What if I change my mind after reading it?"
Yu Shousi smiled helplessly and gave Shen Qian a deep look. "No wonder your demeanor seemed a bit different just now. It seems you've gone through quite a bit of training these past two months!"
He still remembered when he first met Shen Qian. Although the other party concealed it very well, he could still sense some changes in his emotions.
But at this moment, Shen Qian was like a deep spring, and he could no longer see through the other party's thoughts.
"But this is good, it gives me even more confidence in you."
Yu Shousi muttered something to himself before continuing, "Have you heard any rumors that there will be an assessment during our entrance ceremony?"
"Mm." Shen Qian nodded.
"This file folder contains the questions for this assessment."
Yu Shouyi revealed the mystery.
Shen Qian had considered many possibilities, but this was the one he hadn't considered, which left him somewhat taken aback.
Why did you tell me the exam questions in advance?
"Because I want you to... set a benchmark."
Yu Shousi gave Shen Qian a deep look.
"A benchmark?" Shen Qian asked, puzzled.
"The military is newly established, and many things should be done step by step, but we don't have that much time."
Yu Shouyi sighed softly and said, "This year is an extremely special year for all martial arts colleges. You will naturally know the reason later. Just to mention the immediate future, there will be a grand competition that will sweep the whole country at the end of the year..."
We, the military forces of Jiangzhong, cannot use the excuse of being newly established to be absent from such a grand event.
Otherwise, how can we talk about restoring military glory?
"What does this have to do with setting a benchmark?" Shen Qian asked directly, too lazy to think.
"Geniuses are all proud."
Yu Shousi smiled faintly and said, "Although Jiangzhong Military Academy is newly established, its students are of excellent quality. There are many arrogant people among them, but we have a semi-military management system and do not need so many troublemakers."
"I want them to recognize some realities, to deeply understand the principle that 'there is always something beyond the sky,' and to have a goal to pursue."
"And you are the most suitable candidate."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qian roughly understood Yu Shousi's plan.
In short, Yu Shousi wanted Shen Qian to demonstrate his strongest abilities during the assessment, in order to inspire the other freshmen.
"Hmm... Since Director Yu has made this request, I can give it a try."
Shen Qian then asked, "But there's a problem."
"What's the problem?"
"scale."
"Scale?" Yu Shouyi was puzzled.
"So, to what extent should my attack on them go?" Shen Qian thought for a moment and described, "A little bit of despair, more despair, or... outright humane annihilation?"
Yu Shousi was both amused and exasperated, but he also sensed Shen Qian's strong confidence from those words.
"Of course... the more desperate the better."
Although he felt that Shen Qian might be too arrogant, Yu Shousi still gave an answer.
In his opinion, it would be good to witness Chen Qian's full-force attack.
Moreover, Yu Shousi had other considerations, which also put pressure on Shen Qian.
If Shen Qian succeeds, all the better. If Shen Qian fails, it will be a "blow" that can motivate him.
In short, no matter what, Yu Shousi will not lose out.
He has already done precise calculations.
Of course, Yu Shousi still preferred that Shen Qian would succeed, otherwise he wouldn't have tried to give Shen Qian a little "help" by leaking the exam questions.
"I understand, I'll handle it accordingly." Shen Qian nodded.
"Here, take this. Studying it first will give you an advantage." Yu Shousi handed over the file bag again.
