Sure enough, after this mecha arena battle, Yuan Yan stole the limelight.
Although he was using an S-class mecha for competition, he still demonstrated his double S strength to everyone in the Federation.
He alone was able to defeat 1vs3. Since they had won three games in a row, the Federal Military Academy had no chance of recovery. Lian Yi advanced to the finals with a perfect record.
They didn't know if it was their illusion, but the six leaders all felt that after Yuan Yan's victory, the look he gave the camera had another purpose. The humble and elegant young man to the people of the Federation, at this moment, unabashedly revealed the sharpness in his eyes.
Three consecutive games had made his face look a little pale, and his hair hung down in front of his forehead, adding a hint of gloom to his messy look, but it was quickly concealed by the smile that followed.
After the competition, the topics on Starnet were undoubtedly mostly original.
#Original inkstone 1 wins 3
#This is double S!
#Seeing the future of the Federation
#LianYi enters the finals
Everyone has always known Yuan Yan's level, but no one has ever seen his true strength. A double S can fight against three A-levels of similar level, which finally makes the citizens of the Federation realize the gap between the levels.
Because of this admiration for the strong, Yuan Yan's popularity in the Federation remains high.
Almost no one doubts that he will be the next head of state.
Of course, there are also some fans who are gloating over the misfortune mixed in the hot searches.
"After watching Yuan Yan's competition, I am more certain of one thing."
"That means the first comprehensive team will wear women's clothing!"
"Hahaha, although I feel it's a bit of a shame that the first time in so many years that the Premier League is so close to the championship, but I really want to see them wearing women's clothing."
"Then Gu Qi must wear a skirt, otherwise this punishment will be too weak for her, right?"
Needless to say, the six were dragged to the training ground again by Lin Wei who had returned from the scene and were severely punished to do 50 laps. He also sternly warned them that they were not allowed to act without informing him in the future.
But after they had to consult him about everything from eating, drinking, defecating, urinating to sleeping, this order was shelved.
Soon, the three final teams were selected.
They are Lian Yi, Lian Er and Shou Zong respectively.
Different from the rules of the first two rounds, the final adopts a points system.
Each school will compete against two other schools.
Two wins earn 2 points, one win earns 1 point.
In other words, to win the championship, you must defeat both teams at the same time.
It is also worth mentioning that the finals also test the players' physical strength and strategies. After each game, each school only has one hour of rest before the second game.
Therefore, the order of the finals becomes the key.
The finals were scheduled for three days later, and the three-day buffer period was only to repair the mechas used by the other two military academies. During this period, the schedule for the finals was also announced.
First match: First Division vs. League Two
Second match: First Division vs. League One
Match 3: League One vs. League Two
The bye in the second round seemed to have used up all of Shouzong’s luck. After the first game, they had to play against the fully-powered Lianyi, which was undoubtedly adding insult to injury.
After the competition schedule came out, Lin Wei's brows never relaxed. He communicated with the principal for two hours.
It seems that he is racking his brains to think about how to maintain the second place and fight for the first place under such an unfavorable situation.
Finally, from a practical perspective, the weakness of the chief minister was clearly revealed, and even though the principal had hope, he had no choice but to compromise.
"I should be satisfied that I have made it this far in this year's Premier League." He let out a long sigh and turned to look at the honors in the office.
——That was the former glory of the First Division.
Gu Qi and his colleagues were not completely unaware of the outside world's pessimism.
Qi Ming called the remaining five people to his room and gave them the information of all the players in League One and League Two.
When he spoke of the original inkstone, he glanced at Principle 1 inconspicuously, and then continued:
"There's no need to say much about Yuan Yan. I think everyone should know everything about him."
"I want to focus on Lian Er's An brothers and sisters now."
"Is it the one who was promoted two years ago?" Ming Xiangnan suddenly remembered that he seemed to have heard this surname somewhere.
Qi Ming nodded, "Everyone knows that levels can be upgraded, but upgrading levels is not a common thing in the entire federation."
"The most typical example is of course Yuanyan. Yuanyan's grade was measured as double A back then, and it was upgraded to S grade later on. After that, no one with a high grade has ever upgraded to S grade again."
"In recent years, the most famous are the An siblings. The elder brother An Zhao was previously a double B, but was promoted to double A the year before last, while the younger sister An You was promoted from double C to double A. And in terms of strength, they are no less than those who were originally double A."
In fact, what Qi Ming was more worried about was that An Zhao's strength seemed to be on par with Ming Xiangnan's.
Of course, he didn't think that the First Division would lose to United Two, but he hoped to conserve his strength as much as possible when playing against United Two, after all, they would face a strong enemy in the next game.
Ling Beihuai sensed Qi Ming's worries from his words, and he said, "First look at the opponent in front of us, and as for the rest, we can only face the challenges head-on."
What he said made sense. Qi Ming temporarily focused on the match with Lian Er.
They replayed the match between Lian Er and Shou Ji, and Qi Ming pointed out the characteristics of each player while watching.
Gu Qi, on the other hand, was a little absent-minded. She seemed to be thinking of something and felt a little distressed. She secretly poked Principle One, motioning him to go to the kitchen with her.
The other four were so absorbed in analyzing the game that they didn't notice them leaving.
When Gu Qi arrived at the kitchen, he took out a soundproofing device from the space device and stuck it on the wall, thus preventing mental detection and any eavesdropping.
Seeing her movements, Principle One raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he knew that what Gu Qi was going to say next should be very important.
"Are you going to keep your rank hidden forever?" Gu Qi went straight to the point.
Principle One's expression remained unchanged. He asked gently, "Did you discover something?"
Gu Qi knew she couldn't keep it a secret from him, so she told him her guess and then said:
"If we want to win, Lu Zhifeng alone is not enough."
"I just want to say, if you don't want to reveal your rank, then I'll do it."
Sooner or later she will have to face everything anyway.
Hearing her say this, Principle One was stunned at first, one because of her guess, and the other because of what she said.
But he soon calmed down and rejected Gu Qi's proposal:
"I don't have to hide it. I want to return to the capital planet and I have already made preparations."
Perhaps it was because Gu Qi was willing to put him before himself, and Yuan Yi felt as if his heart was hit hard.
He knew what the exposure level meant to Gu Qi. From the moment he saw her finally step out of Planet 1248, he secretly vowed to protect her.
"Don't worry. Besides, by telling them, I can also reduce some of my inner burden." Yuanze walked over, took down the soundproofing device, stuffed it into Gu Qi's hand with a smile, and walked out first.
Gu Qi stared at his back in a daze for a few seconds, then hurried out and heard Yuan Zeyi talking to the four people sitting on the ground:
"I forgot to tell you before, my level is actually double S."
He spoke in a calm tone, as if he was saying that the weather was really nice today, but the four people who heard this instantly froze in place.
They all raised their heads and stared at Principle One, motionless.
Seeing this scene, Gu Qi couldn't help but cover his face with his hands.
She was screaming in her heart: Can't you just get to the point gradually? You had to go all out right away and scare the kids!
The first person to come to his senses was Lu Zhifeng. He opened his mouth wide, as if wondering if he had heard it wrongly.
It was not until he looked left and right and found three people who were equally shocked that he realized it was not a prank.
Probably because he was frightened, Qi Mingqing covered his mouth and coughed a few times. He looked at Gu Qi who was standing behind Yuan Zeyi with an embarrassed look on his face, and immediately understood.
"Gu Qi already knew it." In an affirmative tone.
Yuan Ze nodded, "I knew it before I came to the capital planet."
Of course the ones who were hit the hardest were Ling Beihuai and Ming Xiangnan. The three of them were all leading mecha soldiers. In the past, they were happy when they occasionally won the Principle One battle, as their strength was not much different.
As a result, when they were told that it was the principle that gave them the upper hand before, their faces instantly turned red and then black, and then black and then white.
Ling Beihuai was fine, he just lost when he lost, and he wouldn't show off when he won. But Ming Xiangnan always hung around in front of him every time he won, as if he was afraid that no one knew he had won.
Thinking of this, Ling Beihuai felt much better, and he looked at Ming Xiangnan with sympathy.
"This...what is going on?!" Ming Xiangnan looked up and down in front of Yuanze, but he couldn't tell that this person was hiding his strength before.
Now he just feels his face hurts!
Perhaps because he had spoken out the secret that had been suppressed for a long time, Principle One's face relaxed a lot.
“I leveled up when I was 12.”
Principle One was a double A from the beginning, but after he accidentally reached the 1248th star, he trained very hard for some reason. Who knew that one day he suddenly felt a black screen in front of his eyes, his nerves seemed to explode, and his whole body was wrapped in burning heat, making it difficult for him to breathe.
That was the second time Gu Qi saved him.
After waking up, he vaguely felt that his strength had become stronger. Not only was the range of his mental power longer, but his physical strength was more than twice as strong.
He had a suspicion, which was finally confirmed by the mecha left to him by his mother.
That day, he finally believed that he had become a double S.
But he did not feel any joy, instead he felt sad.
If it had been earlier, nothing would have happened.
Many images flashed through Principle One's mind, and his complicated eyes fell on Gu Qi.
She blinked in confusion.
What's wrong?
Did it hurt him so much to reveal that he was a double S?
She guessed secretly.
