QWTBWASIFOC Chapter 77
by VolareThree days later.
The Yosel Military Academy’s main team and its hundred smaller teams, each with their own thoughts, successfully reached the finish line, proudly becoming the first place winners of this year’s Tadius Competition preliminary round.
The second place went to the Haina Military Academy, which had surprisingly come from behind.
Third place went to the perennial runner-up, the Filmore Military Academy.
Fourth place went to the Alexston Military Academy, which had overestimated itself by challenging the strongest Yosel Military Academy right at the start and was completely annihilated as a result.
Gu Changli left the arena and went straight back to rest, falling asleep without any psychological pressure.
Qin Su quietly left the military academy and went to the Second Prince’s residence, where he discussed with the Little Highness’s father how to deal with Xia Xuyan, who was deliberately looking for trouble.
Zhou Xiuran told him to go ahead and do whatever he needed to do without worry.
The First Prince was currently preoccupied, and he was keeping the Third Princess busy on his end. Xia Xuyan and Song Jinhua, who were participating in the competition, could be dealt with freely.
If it was possible to kill them, it would be best to eliminate them completely.
Qin Su nodded, indicating that he understood. He would stifle Xia Xuyan and Song Jinhua in the competition.
On the other side, Wei Minghe stayed in his room, searching for news reports and key information about the Second Princess Consort’s death and Zhou Qingning’s serious injury fourteen years ago.
“…Noah is indeed Zhou Qingning!”
“Xia Xuyan rashly blocked the way to provoke him because he recognized Noah’s identity before entering the arena, so he wanted to take the opportunity to kill Noah!”
“Too bad your cousin is always your cousin.”
This cousin, Xia Xuyan, wanted to take advantage of his cousin’s mental power being downgraded and his amnesia to strike a deadly blow, but he didn’t expect that although Noah had become weaker, he could still crush Xia Xuyan.
Noah had only become weaker than before; it didn’t mean that he had become weaker than Xia Xuyan.
After all, the former Zhou Qingning was the only SS-level expert in the Hua’an Empire in three hundred years and the first in line to inherit the throne from the Empress.
Even the Empress’s own children had to stand aside.
Wherever Zhou Qingning was, everyone else could only become his supporting green leaves.
But Zhou Qingning did have a problem. His mental power had plummeted to A-level and then risen to S-level. He had lost all his memories and was not very familiar with the royal family.
Before Noah returned to being Zhou Qingning, there would definitely be someone accompanying him to protect him. Qin Su should be the person the Second Prince had secretly arranged.
And Yu Jinzhou was behaving strangely because Zhou Qingning was Yu Jinzhou’s maternal cousin.
As for Xie Yizhi, he didn’t see anything wrong at all.
Having sorted out his thoughts, Wei Minghe tapped lightly on the table, considering what choice he should make.
“Tsk, this is really a bit troublesome!”
Should he take this opportunity to side with the Second Prince, or should he pretend not to know and stay out of it?
After comprehensively comparing the benefits of the two choices, Wei Minghe decided to take a gamble. He chose the former, siding with the Second Prince but supporting Noah.
It seemed he had to take a trip home as well.
Some major events needed to be planned for with his family as soon as possible.
Moreover, since the doting Second Prince was willing to let his son, who had been missing for many years, return to the Imperial Capital Star, it meant that he was no longer worried about his son being in danger.
Or rather, the Second Prince had already gained an absolute advantage in this battle for the throne.
Following Qin Su’s departure from the school, Wei Minghe also left.
Yu Jinzhou, who was temporarily replacing Qin Su in protecting his amnesiac cousin, also went home after Qin Su returned, and then returned to the military academy after staying for one night.
Only the carefree and stout-hearted Xie Yizhi honestly entered the training room to exercise his body, without as many tricks up his sleeve as his other teammates.
He was a mecha combat soldier and couldn’t lose to the mecha masters!
In the next game, he would rush to the front to shield the commander and mecha masters from wind and rain!

April 5th, a warm spring day with flowers in bloom.
The second match of the Tadius Competition slowly began with the spring breeze. This time, the arena was drawn to be Molan Star, where the Alexston Military Academy was located.
Xia Xuyan, who had been brutally beaten by his former mountain in the preliminary round, instantly felt like the sky had brightened and the sun had come out. He could go out and play again!
Gu Changli, seeing his arrogant appearance, immediately gave Xia Xuyan a big eye roll and sneered, “Is Xia Xuyan’s head just for showing off his height?”
Qin Su chimed in, “He really is brainless.”
Wei Minghe suddenly said, “He’s only so confident because he’s stupid.”
“Stupid and unaware of it, yet insists on making a fool of himself.”
Yu Jinzhou crossed his arms, “God is fair. While closing a door for Xia Xuyan, he will also use the door to slam Xia Xuyan’s head.”
Xie Yizhi snorted, “Idiot!”
When it came to being sarcastic, he might not be as good as his other teammates, but he was more direct and blunt.
The main team members of the Alexston Military Academy, standing next to the Yosel Military Academy’s participating team, glared angrily, staring fiercely at the five people next to them.
“You five…”
“Friendly reminder, don’t open your mouths!” Gu Changli waved his finger. “Your opening your mouths will only make me feel like human knowledge is severely damaged.”
Song Jinhua was so angry that her body trembled, and she glared at that hateful face with red eyes.
Bitch! He would die in the arena sooner or later!
Xia Xuyan’s face was as black as coal, his eyes fixed on the youth who was always so sarcastic.
Zhou Qingning, you’re still so annoying!
The other two military academies silently stood by watching the show, their curious and gossipy eyes swinging back and forth, like ferrets jumping up and down in a large melon field.
Tsk, the competition hasn’t even started and they’re already trash-talking!
The people on Xia Xuyan’s side are too weak. The trash talk just started and it’s already over.
The Second Prince Zhou Xiuran, who had personally come to Molan Star to support his precious son, looked at his son with satisfaction, and then looked at the annoying Xia Xuyan next to him.
“Jealousy makes people ugly. This saying is indeed true.”
He raised his eyes to look at the woman in luxurious clothes sitting next to him, a curve rising on his lips.
“Third Sister, what do you think?”
The Third Princess Zhou Moran, who had also come to support her own son, forced a fake smile and said with a smile that didn’t reach her eyes, “Yes, but I’ve also heard two phrases called ‘beauty’s life is short’ and ‘heaven envies genius!'”
“Second Brother, have you heard of them?”
Beauty’s life is short = the early death of the Second Princess Consort.
Heaven envies genius = Zhou Qingning, who was seriously injured as a teenager.
She used two implicit words to completely stir up the hidden hatred in Zhou Xiuran’s heart.
Zhou Xiuran’s eyes were grim, and the anger on his face grew stronger.
“Of course I’ve heard of them, but I’d like to send these two phrases to Third Sister and my dear nephew. Second Brother wishes Third Sister a short life of beauty.”
“…My dear nephew, heaven envies genius!”
Zhou Moran’s face changed drastically, her eyes as dark as ink, her gaze like she was looking at a dead person.
“No need for Second Brother to worry, I’m doing well!”
Zhou Xiuran smiled casually, but his eyes were as cold as frost. “As your brother, it’s my duty to care for my sister.”
“After all, I still want to attend Third Sister’s funeral~” He spread his hands with a smile. “I don’t know if Third Sister will give Second Brother the opportunity.”
Zhou Moran gritted her posterior teeth. “!!!”
Damn Second Brother! Don’t let me catch the opportunity, otherwise I’ll kill you and that little bastard, and send you to accompany the Second Princess Consort completely!
She sat stiffly in her place, turning her eyes away to look elsewhere, not wanting to see him.
…Who will win, it’s still unknown!
