Buzz!
The air trembled slightly, and the bright lights in the entire recruit testing area suddenly dimmed and swayed slightly.
Two incredibly powerful, invisible spiritual forces were locked in a fierce struggle, seemingly evenly matched for the time being.
"What happened?"
"What happened?"
New recruits and veterans alike stared in bewilderment at the scene that had left them somewhat shocked.
Huh? Many people who came to their senses looked at the officer on the stage and noticed that his gaze was focused on Mo Tianyun.
"Could it be that this recruit is going head-to-head with the lieutenant colonel in a contest of mental strength?"
A seasoned veteran with extensive experience had already guessed it.
"Impossible, right? The lieutenant colonel is an epic-level combat mech pilot. His mental strength has long reached the 'Spirit Sea' level. How could a recruit have such powerful mental strength?"
An old soldier said in disbelief.
"Yes, it's probably because this recruit has stronger mental strength. The lieutenant colonel is testing him with his mental strength!"
At this moment, another veteran echoed the words of the veteran in front.
"I knew it! It must be like that. The lieutenant colonel broke through to the 'Spirit Sea' level more than ten years ago. A few years later, he used his military merits to exchange for an epic-level combat mech from the Empire and became an epic-level combat mech pilot. More than ten years ago! The lieutenant colonel was not even 30 years old at that time. Such talent can be considered genius in the entire Empire."
The old soldier, seeing that someone agreed with his opinion, began to speak smugly.
"How could a green recruit possibly have the spiritual power of the 'Spirit Sea' level? He doesn't even look 20 years old. If he really had the spiritual power of the 'Spirit Sea' level, he would have been famous throughout the empire long ago and taken as a disciple by those truly important figures. Why would he be here as a lowly soldier? So, at most, he just has strong spiritual power!"
The man then spoke with great confidence.
"Don't talk nonsense with your eyes closed. You're a combat mech pilot, your mental strength should at least be at the 'perception' level. Sensing the center of that fluctuation carefully!"
The experienced veteran sneered, pointing at the two streams of spiritual energy.
"Just watch me sense it and I'll know!" the man said dismissively.
The next moment, he was in big trouble!
"Ahhh...ah..." the veteran suddenly cried out in pain.
"Huff...huff...I'm finally recovering, that was terrifying." The veteran recalled the two vast spiritual forces he had just sensed and continued, "I felt like an ant caught between two immense spiritual forces, and the aftershocks alone shattered my spiritual power!"
"Haha, you never listen to me, you always think you're so clever. This time you've really learned your lesson. Remember, never think you're so clever, it will only hurt you here, and on the battlefield it will hurt others!"
The experienced veteran shared his wisdom through words and deeds.
"Okay, I understand, thank you!" The veteran was no longer joking around, but said his thanks in a serious tone.
"Ah...ah..."
"oops…"
"Ouch..."
The new recruits below the stage did the same foolish thing as this veteran, using their mental strength to sense the two massive, millstone-like mental forces.
As a result, their mental strength was instantly pulverized, causing them to scream in pain!
"Brother, thank goodness you reminded me, otherwise I would have..." A girl with neat, light blue short hair sat not far from Mo Tianyun and said with a slight frown to a white-haired man next to her.
The girl was Miss Leng Yu, who came from Uluru Star just like Mo Tianyun, and the boy next to her was her brother.
The white-haired youth was also very handsome, and like the woman with light blue short hair, he exuded a cold aura.
His handsome face was framed by a pair of eyes that were as cold and desolate as eternal ice.
Upon hearing his sister's words, his eyes softened considerably, as if ice and snow were melting.
"When two powerful spiritual beings at the 'Spiritual Sea' level clash, someone with only the 'Perception' level of spiritual power would be asking for trouble if they rashly used their spiritual power to investigate!" the white-haired youth said coldly.
"He... is he really a spiritual power expert at the 'Spirit Sea' level? He's only 16 years old. In the family, only my grandfather's spiritual power has reached the 'Spirit Sea' level. Even my father said he's still a bit short. He truly deserves to be called a young hero!" Miss Leng Yu exclaimed.
"Yes, the existence of people like that constantly motivates me, which is how I improve my strength!" the white-haired youth said, looking at Mo Tianyun's back.
"Young hero Mo Tianyun, I never imagined you would become so powerful. However, I still look forward to sparring with you..." Talink, dressed in combat gear, gently stroked the sword he always carried and said.
At this moment, Mo Tianyun's situation became somewhat unfavorable.
"This officer has incredible mental strength. My mental strength is being depleted so quickly, I'm starting to feel the strain!"
Mo Tianyun's mental power was gradually suppressed.
"No, hold on, I won't give up easily!"
Just as Mo Tianyun was struggling to hold on for a while,
Suddenly, Mo Tianyun sensed that the other party's spiritual power was slowly fading, and then he realized that the other party knew that he was about to give up and had stopped.
"This recruit has such strong mental power, it's really at the 'Spirit Sea' level! We've found a treasure this time!" The officer on the stage was overjoyed.
The officer noticed the unusual panic among those around him, so he simply watched them quietly.
Everyone around could feel the officer's calm yet terrifying gaze on the stage.
Soon, the veterans who were standing stood up again, and the new recruits who were sitting also readjusted their posture.
"Welcome to the Battle Mech Division. I am Odyman Chris, a lieutenant colonel in the Imperial Battle Mech Division. I am in charge of the battle mechs of this base, and I am also an epic-level battle mech."
After gathering his mental energy, the lieutenant colonel suddenly uttered a sound as powerful as thunder, which resounded all around and echoed in the air for a long time.
After Mo Tianyun realized what was happening, he immediately started clapping, and gradually, he led everyone else to join in.
The slightly serious atmosphere dissipated amidst the applause of the new recruits.
“Our frontline forces are currently stretched thin, and your addition will greatly alleviate the military pressure. On behalf of our base, I thank you all for joining us,” the officer said.
"You are all highly capable combat mech pilots, each of you is an elite member of the Imperial Army. Because of this, you are required to carry out some of the most difficult missions in the military. These missions are extremely dangerous and may result in casualties."
After hearing the lieutenant colonel's words, some of the new recruits in the audience began to stir slightly.
Why does this lieutenant colonel start scaring us new recruits the moment he speaks?
Shouldn't we be encouraging them?
