Chapter 88 Opening
"Sheng Jiayi, it's been a few years, how come you haven't made any progress at all?" the red-haired girl said, "You're still so childish."
"Sheng Jiayan, what does this have to do with you?" Sheng Jiayi said in a cold tone.
"Zhiming will be my legal husband, you'd better think it over carefully." Sheng Jiayan held his head high, his whole body filled with the arrogance and pride that came from being pampered since childhood.
If it were before, Sheng Jiayi might have hesitated for a moment.
Because Sheng Jiayan is the only SS-level healer in the new generation of the empire, her position as the legal husband basically indicates that she is the candidate that the Sheng family is likely to support.
But as long as the relationship between Brother Yu and Yu Zhi is confirmed, Sheng Jiayi dares to guarantee with his life that the Sheng family will definitely choose Qiao Zhiyu.
Not to mention that he, the only legitimate son, also stood on Qiao Zhiyu's side, while Sheng Jiayan was just a collateral branch.
"What are you thinking about? Isn't the individual competition a test of personal strength, but a test of who is the main husband or concubine?" Sheng Jiayi has learned some sarcasm from some people recently.
"That's enough. Since you have such an attitude, let's see who's the real deal on the field," Qiao Zhiming said angrily. "I hope you've learned some real skills during your years in the Federation."
"And not just the eloquence."
"What kind of clown is this here spouting nonsense?" Yu Zhi retorted bluntly, "You can't even talk well, so how can you be good with your fists and feet?"
She was previously blocked behind Sheng Jiayi and others, so Qiao Zhiming didn't see her.
Now, after speaking, Yu Zhi walked out from behind and stood in front of the few people.
Both Qiao Zhiyu and Sheng Jiayi felt warm in their hearts.
When I saw her defending Chen Wang before, I felt a little envious.
Now that it was their turn to be unconditionally protected by the girl, they truly realized how good it felt.
It was as if all the grievances I had suffered had disappeared, and my whole heart was soaked in warm water, feeling warm.
Qiao Zhiyu was even more deeply touched.
Although he knew that his parents wanted to train a qualified heir, they almost gave up on him and let him suffer all the criticisms and attacks alone.
But in countless dreams when he was young, he couldn't help but silently ask himself why his parents couldn't protect their children like other people did?
Until this moment, all the suffering and grievances he had experienced seemed to be just obstacles set up for him to meet Yu Zhi.
And now he is almost through it.
Even though Qiao Zhiming was angry about what Yu Zhi said, facing such an undisputedly beautiful healer, the demeanor of a male transcendent prevented him from saying anything excessive.
Sheng Jiayan no longer had this concern.
"You are their healer?" She frowned and looked Yu Zhi up and down. "You are just an S-rank. Do you think it is your turn to speak?"
"Yu Zhicai..." Sheng Jiayi subconsciously wanted to refute, but then he realized that this matter had to be kept secret, so he could only hold it back uncomfortably.
"I think that students of our Central Military Academy don't need anyone's permission to speak."
Bai Qingshan walked out and said in a deep voice.
"If this is the way the Empire's First Military Academy treats its guests, then I think it might be necessary to ask the Tournament Committee to change the venue of the league."
Hearing his particularly tough words, Qiao Zhiming's face changed.
If this really led to the other team's teacher applying to the competition committee to change the venue, then he, as the person in charge of inviting federal contestants to visit the Imperial Military Academy, would be embarrassed.
It will also inevitably affect the recognition and support of him by the military academy and the aristocratic families.
He was just about to explain it again in the style of the Spring and Autumn Annals.
However, the other federal cadets present joined in the ridicule.
In contrast, the other several Imperial Military Academy students who were accompanying them all lowered their heads and hid like quails because they did not dare to get involved in the internal disputes of the Qiao family.
Qiao Zhiming could only frown and apologize hastily.
Sheng Jiayan beside him was even more angry and annoyed, but he had to swallow his anger.
This visit to the Imperial Military Academy was not a pleasant one.

Two days passed in a flash.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day for the individual competition to begin.
Members from the ten participating military academies have all arrived.
Among them, those belonging to the Federation include the Central Military Academy which ranked first in the previous term, the Xianxing Mansion which ranked fourth, the N54 Military Academy which ranked fifth, and the Yaoguang Military Academy and Fuyao Military Academy which ranked seventh and eighth.
Belonging to the Empire are the Imperial First Military Academy which ranked second in the previous session, the Cyril Military Academy which ranked third, the Lakpas Military Academy which ranked sixth, and the Esta Military Academy and the Sala Military Academy which ranked ninth and tenth respectively.
The Central Military Academy, which ranked first in the previous session, has three teams participating.
The top three, the Imperial First Military Academy and the Cyril Military Academy, each have two teams' quota to participate.
The other military academies only had one team participating in the competition.
All the extraordinary people in the team will participate in the individual competition, there are a total of 56 extraordinary people.
The entire event will be broadcast live on StarNet, and almost all residents of the Federation and the Empire will participate in this large-scale event.
"Is that from the Cyril Military Academy? I heard they have a very strong class this year!"
"I'd like to call Sheng Jiayan's team from the Empire's First Military Academy the strongest galactic team. A double S healer plus all 3S transcendents... I feel like their strength is a bit exaggerated."
"Agree with the above!"
"That Central Military Academy team is also all 3S, right? It's just that the healer level is a little low."
"If you ask me, the Federation hasn't produced any top-tier healers in all these years because they've limited the number of people who can be matched!"
“It is recommended that the federal government relax restrictions!”
+1
"Are all those upstairs old bachelors who can't find a healer?"
Yu Zhi accompanied the four people who were about to participate into the venue and stood in the preparation area.
After the grand opening ceremony, the process of drawing lots to match opponents began.
The drawing of lots is done by the intelligent computer.
The imperial emperor Qiao Zheng, who was sitting on the high platform and was also Qiao Zhiyu's father, symbolically pressed the match button. Almost in the next second, the names of the two opposing teams were listed.
For the sake of fairness, extraordinary people from the same military academy will not be matched in the first round.
Yu Zhi quickly found the names of Qiao Zhiyu and others on the list.
I was lucky enough to be matched with extraordinary people from lower-ranked military academies.
Those extraordinary people who found themselves matched with Qiao Zhiyu and others could only cry without tears, secretly sighing that they were so unlucky.
After all, this is almost equivalent to announcing that they will be eliminated in the first round of this individual competition.
After confirming that his opponent in the first round was just an SS-level transcendent, Qiao Zhiming made a look of regret and sorrow and glanced provocatively towards Qiao Zhiyu.
"It's a shame I can't get you out in the first round, but it doesn't matter. It's only a matter of time."
