Opening ceremony

When Old Cao's assistant heard this, he instantly said happily, "Overseer, if that bunch of brats know your intentions, they'll definitely be over the moon. Luo Chao was almost ruined this time, and those stinky brats almost exploded from the anger. They've long been howling that we should show the Second Men's Military Academy what's what."

Old Cao smiled at his words, nodded and said, "That's what our students should be like. If they can't protect their own brothers and sisters, then what use do they have for becoming strong?"

While this side was planning to deceive and trip up the Second Men's Military Academy, on the Third Men's Military Academy's side, Old Wu was asking his assistant, "Ah Qi, tell me, what do you think the First Co-ed Military Academy is planning?"

His assistant Ah Qi replied, "On the surface, they seem like they intend to collaborate with us. Like us, they seem to have some beef with the Second Men's Military Academy. But after Faculty Head Zhou of the Second Men's Military Academy said what he said, Overseer Cao seemed to have retreated."

"Retreated?" Old Wu frowned. "That fellow Cao Yongyu ... although he looks like a really nice guy, very agreeable and open to discussion, we have really never been able to gain any advantage when dealing with him. This kind of person ... would he really just give up because of one statement from Zhou Yuanyi?" He did not believe it.

His assistant Ah Qi also became thoughtful. Then, suddenly thinking of something, he said in a low voice, "Sir, last night, I heard some news from the grapevine. Perhaps it has something to do with this ..."

Old Wu's eyes lit up and he quickly motioned for Ah Qi to elaborate.

"The team leader of the Second Men's Military Academy clashed with the First Men's Military Academy all because of a girl. And that girl is from the First Co-ed Military Academy, a Starship Navigation prodigy whom they are specially cultivating ..."

Old Wu was surprised. He had thought that the Second Men's Military Academy and the First Men's Military Academy had clashed in the marketplace because they just could not see eye to eye. Unexpectedly, there was this extra element to it ... Old Wu suddenly laughed and said, "So that's how it is, so that's how it is. Looks like our chance has come. Watch them closely. Once the results for the earlier competitions are out, we can study the situation better and decide who we should choose as our final partners to work with. It's about time for the perennial fourth place to move up a little." A flash of ambition coursed through Old Wu's eyes.

At this moment, Ling Lan and the rest had already arrived at the main venue, completely oblivious to the dark currents surging behind them. They were nervously lining up to enter the venue — as the last participating group to take the stage, everyone could take pride in this honour they had been given.

Qiao Ting accepted the school flag which had been prepared by the staff members, gripping it firmly. This school flag which represented the military academy he came from ... he had looked at it for five years, and he had never ever felt like it had any particular meaning. But here and now, the school flag was actually heavy, giving him a sort of invisible pressure. He suddenly felt that the treasured throne of king of just his military academy, which he had desired for so long, was actually such a trivial thing ...

"My world should not be limited to a small military academy. It should encompass the entire Federation, no, the whole universe!" A bright flame rose in Qiao Ting's eyes. He felt as if he was being remade from the inside out, and the bottleneck of his initially frozen and unmoving peak of advanced level Qi-Jin actually began to show signs of loosening ...
