Chapter 196 The So-called Light of the Military
In the VIP seats of a real stadium.
Shen Ruoshui sat between General Wan and Xu Chengbi, watching the exciting fighting scenes of the students on the big screen while fiddling with the new type of firearm developed by the military in his hand with a nonchalant look.
Xu Chengbi turned to look at Shen Ruoshui, who had once been a "favorable mentor" to him: "Teacher, you have never been very interested in the league, so why did you come to watch this time?"
“What are you saying?” Shen Ruoshui turned the gun in his hand and slapped it on the table in front of him. “My grandson is competing in there. Shouldn’t I come to see him?”
"The three of us are sitting together today because of those little brats." Shen Ruoshui waved his hand and patted General Wan Li beside him. "Don't you agree? Brother Wan? That kid Guan Chuanjun has caused you a lot of trouble, right?"
Wanli was about to slap his hand away, but Shen Ruoshui anticipated it in time and retracted his hand.
The two people are of the same generation and know each other's character very well. They can be considered "old" enemies.
Wan Li was very dissatisfied with Shen Ruoshui's insistence on interfering in the matter of dealing with Xu Chengbi. Shen Ruoshui was very good at stealing the limelight. Wan Li was very unhappy with him when the two of them were still young and naive.
However, it is always a good idea to talk to the younger generations at this time to paralyze Xu Chengbi. After all, Ares's operation to close in on his forces on the capital star has already begun.
"Among this group of youngsters, Xu Lingqu is the most pleasing to the eye." General Wanli said.
Xu Chengbi smiled and said, "That's all thanks to my subordinates who gave birth to such a wonderful child. It's a pity that they passed away too early, and it was too late for me to make up my mind to adopt Lingqu..."
He acted as if he felt sorry for the child, but did not mention his own daughter Xu Xizhen at all.
"But she is not the protagonist today. Shouli from the teacher's family is the most worth looking forward to, right? That is S+ mental power." Xu Chengbi brought the conversation back to Shen Ruoshui.
Shen Ruoshui was not very happy about Shen Shouli's S+ mental strength test. Because Shen Shouli was tested S+ four months after the eldest prince Xi'en suddenly fell ill.
At that time, the original wind direction was that everyone was saying that the empire was going to end and there was no one to succeed the blade pilot. Taking this position at this juncture, Shen Shouli was equivalent to being pushed directly into the center of the storm.
As an Imperial General, Shen Ruoshui hoped the Empire would have a few more S+s, but as Shen Shouli's grandfather, Shen Ruoshui didn't want his grandson to be an S+. Firstly, Shen Shouli's personality wasn't suitable, and secondly, he himself held a high position, so he naturally knew that the higher you go, the harder it is to fall.
The pressure and responsibility in this position can crush a person to death.
"The Light of the Military" is everyone's expectation of Shen Shouli, but it is also the shackles that everyone puts on Shen Shouli.
Moreover, after the image of the previous perfect heir, Crown Prince Sean, became deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, everyone hoped that the successor would be as perfect as him.
Unfortunately, the real successor, Shen Shouli, is really an unpopular person. He doesn't have any major problems, but he has too many minor ones: severe mysophobia, disdain for socializing, likes to ignore people, is childish, and has a bit of a spoiled brat temperament. Apart from his face and mental strength, it can be said that he has no advantages at all.
And even so, he had no intention of changing, so his reputation was far inferior to that of the eldest prince Sean.
Of course, they never dared to express it directly, and only dared to discuss it behind their backs, or use some euphemisms to tell Shen Shouli, but they were all ignored by him.
Shen Shouli has always been a hollow person, and he doesn't care about the outside world's evaluation of him.
At that time, the brat was completely indifferent because there was no one in the world who cared, and there was no way he would change his mind at all. But now...
Shen Ruoshui's gaze was fixed on the big screen. The camera was now focused on Shen Shouli, who lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
On the arena, the battle had reached a fever pitch, with the Empire's No. 47 and the Federation's No. 48 facing off.
The Federation student was driving an A+ class mecha Executioner, and the war hammer it was equipped with smashed hard at the Magician driven by the Imperial student. The Magician took advantage of his lighter weight to quickly change positions, intending to play tricks on the Executioner.
But this federal student seemed to have a deep understanding of the magician's mecha, and he directly predicted the landing point of the imperial student. He swung the war hammer hard and hit the magician accurately. The magician, who was already fragile, was knocked to the ground on the spot and was directly judged as the loser.
The Federation student smiled smugly, then turned to the Empire students and chose an opponent that was beyond everyone's expectations.
“Shen Shouli.”
He, an A+, wanted to directly challenge Shen Shouli, an S+.
The Federation student's thinking was simple. He had extensive knowledge of replica mechas and possessed ample combat experience. Shen Shouli's performance in the team competition wasn't outstanding; if he could win, it would be history. Losing would be par for the course, and he might even be praised for his courage.
Moreover, pulling out the S-class students in advance greatly accelerated the progress of the arena. Once the S-class battle between the Empire and the Federation is decided, no matter which side has the S-class students left, the remaining students will be crushed, and it is very likely to create a new record in defending the title.
This federal student had long been fed up with the somewhat dogmatic arena play of both sides, and he came here on purpose to stir up trouble.
Jin patted Shen Shouli’s shoulder and said, “Tsk, you’ve forcibly carried out our ultimate weapon so early.”
Shen Shouli ignored him, just looked back at Xu Lingqu, then walked directly to the arena and summoned the black king in the mecha, holding a blade.
The federal student showed an excited smile. According to his previous research on Shen Shouli, he was about to drive the Execution towards Shen Shouli. Unexpectedly, Shen Shouli, who always strikes back, took the initiative to attack very actively this time.
The blade driven by Shen Shouli quickly approached him, and then the main weapon of the blade-wielding King's Sword was summoned, and it slashed directly at the face of the executioner with a side slash.
The federal student was startled and quickly stretched out his hand to block the attack, avoiding being beheaded. At this distance, using the particle cannon to injure the enemy by a thousand but inflict eight hundred casualties on his own. The two mechas began to fight hand-to-hand.
But everyone could see that Shen Shouli's movements were smoother, and the federal student was basically passively taking a beating. After about ten moves, the penalty loss value he was driving was on the verge of being judged as a loser.
Shen Shouli jumped away with the blade, and a particle cannon easily took him away.
This is not Shen Shouli's fighting style. In the past, he would not even bother to touch the opponent. He would just keep his distance and torture the opponent to death with particle cannons.
Everyone was stunned, especially Jin.
He stared at his good friend and then at Xu Lingqu, and found the problem. Shen Shouli was deliberately playing very handsomely. This state was completely - a peacock spreading its tail.
Admiral Shen, who knew his grandson best, was not surprised at all.
Shen Shouli is such a person who does his own thing. Even when he was crowned as the glory of the military, he had no intention of changing his shortcomings.
But when Xu Lingqu was staring at her, she didn't say anything, but she consciously began to examine herself and correct those unpleasant points.
Finally, there was someone in this world that he cared about.
