Gu Zhilin watched from afar as Wen Yili provoked the other soldiers and suddenly realized why he did it.
So he didn't go forward immediately.
As expected, Wen Yili sneered at everyone: "I am indeed not a soldier yet, but I was able to enter the army in my freshman year and teach you to improve your mental strength. What were you doing in your freshman year?"
Wen Yili's words left everyone speechless, but they were clearly still unconvinced on the surface.
"You think I just found a good master, and I admit my master is good. But aren't you being taught by my master too? And you still can't beat me, can you?"
His arrogant tone ignited the anger in the soldiers present: "Kid, don't be so arrogant. You're just a newbie. What makes you think you can compete with us?"
Wen Yili scoffed, "What are you comparing? Is your mental strength stronger than mine?"
"How can you be so sure?" someone retorted. "We've trained for so many more years than you. Even if you're a genius, you can't possibly surpass us."
"Really? Then do you have the guts to compete with me?"
The soldiers were already excited, and upon hearing this, they naturally seized the opportunity to prove themselves.
Several people on the spot immediately expressed their desire to compete with Wen Yili in a battle of wills.
At this moment, Gu Zhilin stepped forward and said, "I advise you to think it through. You are no match for him."
Gu Zhilin's words were tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.
The soldiers became even more dissatisfied, and more and more people demanded to participate in the competition.
Gu Zhilin gave his apprentice a thumbs-up in appreciation before slowly saying, "Since you want to compete, we have to make sure you give up. I'm sure you'll be dissatisfied if I were to be the referee. How about we have General Zhu be the referee?"
The soldiers were now somewhat flustered. What right did they have to summon the generals to act as their referees?
Moreover... it takes immense courage to test one's spirit in front of a general like Zhu.
"What? You guys aren't scared, are you? You can't even compare to a freshman, can you?" Gu Zhilin immediately mocked.
The soldiers' spirits were already high, and upon hearing this, someone immediately shouted, "Let's compete! If you're so capable, then call your generals over! We're just afraid you'll embarrass yourself if you can't call them!"
Gu Zhilin chuckled: "Then I really thank you for your kindness, but... don't worry, General Zhu will be here soon."
He sent a message to the general explaining the current situation.
General Zhu fully supports Gu Zhilin's work, and he is also very worried when he hears that the soldiers cannot calm down and train properly.
The soldiers were very excited when they heard that General Zhu was really coming. This was not only a competition to prove themselves, but also an opportunity to show themselves in front of General Zhu.
Gu Zhilin naturally knew what these people were thinking, so he simply made the competition even bigger and more formal.
Because the competition was decided on short notice and was quite large in scale, it couldn't be held on the same day.
The general decided to proceed the following day.
Furthermore, the participants in the competition are not limited to the warriors who have participated in the training. Anyone who is at the warrior level, whether they are involved in cultivation or physical training, can participate in the competition.
After announcing the news, Zhu Jiangshuai looked at the young man in front of him, stepped forward, and patted Wen Yili on the shoulder: "How is it? Are you confident?"
Wen Yili didn't hold back at all: "Anyone below the level of a warrior general is no match for me."
Zhu Jiangshuai's eyes lit up slightly: "Young man, you've got quite the nerve."
"After all, I'm a genius personally certified by my master!"
General Zhu looked at Gu Zhilin and found that this man was not worried at all about his apprentice accepting the challenge from the soldiers of the entire military region.
Feeling Zhu Jiangshuai's gaze, Gu Zhilin smiled faintly: "I might worry about other competitions, but he won't lose in a contest of mental strength."
"That's amazing?" Jiang Jiyang was somewhat incredulous.
"Why don't you try it yourself and see?" Lu Jin'an sneered from the side.
Jiang Jiyang glanced at him, feeling that this man was looking down on him: "Fine, I'll give it a try."
As he spoke, he walked over to Wen Yili: "Kid, dare to have a match with me?"
Wen Yili merely glanced at him indifferently, then nodded.
Jiang Jiyang felt slighted and glared at Wen Yili, attempting to attack him with his mental power.
At the same time, the entire office began to be filled with a strong aroma of alcohol, which was the scent of Jiang Jiyang's pheromones.
Lu Jin'an was worried that the pheromones would affect Gu Zhilin, so she wanted to take him out, but found that Gu Zhilin had no reaction at all.
Only then did he truly realize that what Zhou Muyun had said about Gu Zhilin's pheromones was special, and that other Alhpa pheromones had no attraction for Gu Zhilin whatsoever.
Thinking of this, Lu Jin'an felt very happy. Sure enough, it was her own pheromones that could work on Gu Zhilin.
She recalled how Gu Zhilin had gone into heat because of her pheromones, and how aroused he looked when she marked him.
Lu Jin'an's heart felt completely full, filled with a sense of satisfaction.
He was satisfied, but Jiang Jiyang was somewhat surprised.
After withdrawing his mental energy, he said with some surprise, "You're really only a freshman!"
Although he was confident that he could beat Wen Yili now, it would come at a great cost, and the boy in front of him was only a freshman.
If he grows any further, I'm not sure I'll be able to beat him.
Wen Yili coldly replied, "Don't you know whether I'm a freshman or not?"
He knew perfectly well that he had trained this kid's aircraft before.
I can't believe how quickly he has progressed in such a short time.
Thinking of this, he turned to look at Gu Zhilin: "General Gu, do you think I have any talent for cultivation?"
Unfortunately, Gu Zhilin smiled faintly and said, "You're not quite suitable."
Jiang Jiyang was not surprised to receive this answer, because if he were suitable, Gu Zhilin would probably have taught him long ago.
But he still felt it was a pity that he couldn't learn such an effective method.
"If you think it's impressive, then it seems that Xiao Wen's mental strength should be fine now." General Zhu was much more relieved to see this result.
But he was still quite gentle and polite: "Although you are very capable, you should also pay attention to your own situation. If you find that you can't handle it, you should say so in advance. After all, you are fighting against so many people by yourself. Even if you lose, no one will think that you are not capable."
Wen Yili nodded and thanked General Zhu for his concern.
The next day, the test of mental strength began.
Because there were so many applicants, if Wen Yili were to compete with them one by one, he probably wouldn't finish in a day.
General Zhu finally decided that the soldiers would first hold an internal competition to eliminate three-quarters of them, and only the remaining quarter could compete with Wen Yili.
