Chapter 39: A Bystander's Perspective
The meeting room was as quiet as death. Under the powerful aura of His Excellency the Marshal, the people in the audience even held their breath for a moment.
"Go down and accept your punishment. I don't want to hear what you just said a second time. You must understand what your mission as a soldier is!"
"Yes..." the lieutenant colonel replied with a guilty look on his face.
In fact, he also knew that what he had just said was inappropriate. He was just too worried about his superiors and spoke without thinking.
If he were in such a crisis situation, he would not be able to leave the weak there and escape alone.
A person like the boss, although he has a lot of faults, has never been careless in principle.
What he just said was tantamount to insulting his superior!
Everyone in the seats exchanged knowing glances at the same time.
Look! This big idiot is talking without thinking again!
"The Tianqi Galaxy was discovered not long ago, but there have always been troops stationed there. I don't think it's possible for that organization to infiltrate Planet N18 in large numbers. The most likely scenario is that they sent elite personnel to infiltrate."
After the Marshal dealt with the Lieutenant Colonel's problem, he tapped the table with his fingers and clicked on the nebula map of the Tianqi galaxy.
Finally, it stopped on the desolate planet N18.
"How strong are the two hundred contestants?" The Marshal asked again after a while.
"Among the two hundred contestants, not a single one is an ordinary person. Sixteen of them are women, and seven of them possess healing abilities, with the highest level being level four!
The male contestants, excluding the commander, have a maximum combat power of level five, and their mental power levels are generally between three and four..."
His Excellency the Marshal's expression eased slightly. "It seems that the officials of the Wilderness Live Streaming Room also have their own arrangements. As long as these people are not stupid, they will gradually move closer to Huo kid's side."
A colonel nodded seriously and quickly calculated the distance between Huo Sijun's camp and the scattered teams of contestants around him.
"If they move quickly enough, they can get there within a week."
"A week is too late. I don't know if those people can give them a chance to assemble!" The Marshal lowered his eagle eyes to hide the sharpness in them, and said helplessly.
"If all else fails, we can seek help from the seniors in the Ancient Studies department of the First Military Academy. After all, the commander is a student of that senior..." Someone couldn't help but suggest in a low voice.
"Ancient studies..." Marshal Guoguo pondered.
"What we can think of, they can certainly think of too. This is a well-planned hunt for your commander! The Ancient Studies Department may have been countered by someone."
"Ancient Studies" is an ancient and mysterious school of thought in the Interstellar Federation.
This mysterious sect possesses many methods of cultivating spiritual power and is also the most powerful foundation of the First Military Academy.
Every year, this mysterious sect selects some exceptionally talented newcomers from the freshmen of the First Military Academy to study and train.
Although the First Military Academy enrolls many new students every year, only two or three can enter the School of Ancient Studies, or even no one is selected.
This is also one of the reasons why young people from all over the Federation are so eager to attend the First Military Academy.
Being admitted to the No. 1 Military Academy can change your life. If you can enter the School of Ancient Chinese Studies, then it may really be a blessing for all the people around you!
If we learn something, it will benefit future generations and have a far-reaching impact.
"What should we do now? Is it really up to you to break out on your own?" The lieutenant colonel became angry again.
"You have to believe him. Besides, not everyone in his team is useless." The Marshal's sharp eagle eyes rested on the face of the girl from Terlan Star.
"At least there's someone who won't hold us back and will help Huo kid suppress those people with his fighting power."
"What use is this little girl? She can only defend herself at best!" Some people were not optimistic about Nan Chi.
"Judging from her ability to instantly kill those two level four beasts not long ago, she must be at least a level six warrior, stronger than everyone here."
"She's only stronger than us in terms of strength. Someone like her, who comes from a small place, hasn't undergone any systematic training, so her potential is limited..."
"snort!"
However, before the young major could finish his words, he was interrupted by a cold snort.
An attendant from Huo Sijun.
"I've noticed that you guys have made the same mistake as that idiot Caleb. Even though that woman was born on a low-level planet, don't forget that she is a woman with infinite possibilities!
What's more, her fighting skills are more advanced than anyone here!"
"Female = Healing ability user!" Just this one thing is enough to make people excited!
Although the commander did not describe what happened on the battlefield last time, as his aide, he still knew a little about it.
At least he had seen the battle records extracted from the battlefield, and Nan Chi's fleeting appearance!
Although he didn't know why the commander still hadn't confirmed Nan Chi's identity, in the attendant's mind, Nan Chi was the girl who appeared on the battlefield!
With such a powerful woman around, the commander has a very high chance of breaking through, and the attendant has great confidence in Nan Chi.
It has to be said that the saying "a bystander sees more clearly" was fully demonstrated between Huo Jiu and his attendant.
Nan Chi and her teammates had no idea what was happening in the outside world. She slept until dawn, and when she woke up in the morning, she saw Huo Jiu sitting there keeping watch.
She thought for a moment and said, "Brother Jiu, let me keep watch at night. You can't keep watch every day."
Huo Sijun's expressionless face met Nan Chi's with his narrow black eyes.
"I don't know why you treat this attack so seriously. We are not regular soldiers under your command, but I advise you to make plans early and try to trust us!" Nan Chi said seriously, meeting his gaze.
Huo Jiu must know what the creature that attacked them last night was, otherwise he would not have been on guard in person.
"You have no mental strength. If you keep watch at night, you will be easily deceived!" After a while, Huo Sijun slowly looked away and said in a low voice.
Nan Chi chuckled, "I don't know what made you mistakenly believe that I couldn't sense the existence of spiritual power because I didn't have it, but Brother Huo Jiu, this world is infinitely large. You should try to accept some new things and cognitions!"
Huo Sijun raised an eyebrow. This vindictive little girl actually returned the words he had said to her not long ago. But he still asked with great interest, "Last night, you were able to sense danger? How did you do that?"
Nan Chi shrugged casually, "I just sensed it. As high-level warriors, our sense of danger is stronger than that of ordinary people!"
Huo Sijun frowned, and the look he gave Nan Chi became increasingly strange.
Even without mental power, he can sense the presence of danger at the first moment and react quickly.
He couldn't help but wonder, do warriors in the interstellar space have such keen perception?
The answer is yes, but the requirements for a warrior's own cultivation and talent are so harsh that it makes people despair.
This is because, in today's interstellar world, there are no advanced cultivation methods.
Nan Chi's various performances all indicate that she has a profound training method suitable for warriors.
——Just like the method of cultivating spiritual power.
Huo Sijun even thought that this time, he must personally visit the planet with ancient civilization that Nan Chi mentioned...
