QWTBWASIFOC Chapter 79
by VolareChapter 79 Steady Loyal Dog x Dual-Souled Genius 15
On the third day of the competition, Yosel Military Academy, never one to follow the beaten path, continuously challenged three waves of roadblocks formed by soldiers from various regions.
The memory cluster in Gu Changli’s mind was slowly unlocking, and as his memories gradually recovered, his temperament transformed from gentle and harmless to sharp and radiant.
“We’re heading to the finish platform next.”
“I want to meet some old friends at the finish platform.”
His voice possessed a youthful quality, low, magnetic, and pleasing to the ear, like a gentle breeze caressing a majestic mountain range.
However, Wei Minghe, Yu Jinzhou, and Qin Su, who knew the inside story, didn’t think he merely wanted to visit friends; a major battle might be brewing at the finish platform.
Wei Minghe ordered everyone to accelerate.
The remaining team from Yosel Military Academy followed the main team’s pace steadily, arriving smoothly at the finish platform, but they didn’t step forward to plant the flag.
The four members of the main team protected Gu Changli.
Gu Changli sat on the finish platform, holding the military academy flag that Qin Su handed over.
“Qin Su, this game has just begun.”
“Let’s see who enters the game first, and which old friend steps down first.”
Qin Su looked at the little prince whose eyes were burning with anger, his heart feeling as if it had been cut by a knife.
“Okay, I’ll wait with you for them to come.”
He would kill every single one of those bastards who dared to hurt the little prince; he’d kill a pair if they came in pairs. No one would ever hurt the little prince again.
Gu Changli casually played with the flag, a bizarre, cold light flowing in his eyes.
Suddenly, various images flashed before his eyes.
From a little dumpling growing into a little teenager over a meter tall, that period of memory was happy and joyful.
As the crystallization of his parents’ love, Zhou Qingning had grown up with a silver spoon in his mouth since childhood, and was the undisputed next emperor of the Hua’an Empire.
Power, wealth, status, all were within easy reach!
As long as Zhou Qingning grew up safely, he could have anything the world had to offer.
However, the trip to Urdan Star cost Zhou Qingning all his personal guards and his beloved mother, and also led him to make that shocking decision.
It was Noah who survived, not Zhou Qingning.
That brilliant and talented little prince of the empire died in the endless sea of fire on Urdan Star.
His initial guess was indeed confirmed.
Noah and Lin Qingning were both halves of Zhou Qingning’s soul; the two combined were the complete Zhou Qingning. But Noah and Lin Qingning died in this body one after the other, even if all the souls returned, the Zhou Qingning from fourteen years ago could no longer be resurrected.
Too many people had ruined Zhou Qingning.
Including Zhou Qingning himself, the desperately despairing young man chose self-destruction.
The personal guards who died because of him, his mother, and the innocent residents and tourists of Urdan Star who were implicated, the close elders who ruthlessly attacked, the cold-blooded executioners of the imperial army, and the terrorists who cooperated with the royal family…
Good and evil were polarized, and the world was no longer as it should be.
The correct values that Zhou Qingning had established since childhood shattered at that moment. The elders and cousins he regarded as close relatives treated him as a joke.
The soldiers he admired became swords of the powerful.
The people he wanted to protect died to protect him.
The people of the empire he wanted to defend became stepping stones and tools for the imperial royal family to fight for power and profit.
Therefore, Zhou Qingning chose self-destruction.
Everyone added an indispensable piece of firewood to Zhou Qingning’s path of self-destruction.
His demise was tragic and lamentable, and also marked the complete decline of the Hua’an Empire.
The wise ruler who should have led the Hua’an Empire to reshape its glory died for the first time to the cold reality exposed to his eyes in childhood, and truly died from two poisonings as an adult.
Heaven gave the Hua’an Empire three chances, but it wasted all three, and finally allowed Xia Xuyan and Song Jinghua to control the Hua’an Empire.
The collapse of the Hua’an Empire, and even the entire world, was ultimately self-inflicted.
Choosing Xia Xuyan and Song Jinghua, this pair of lunatics, as the protagonists of the world was a path to ruin, because crazy people simply don’t care about the environment.
Their lethality and destructiveness were ridiculously high.
Gu Changli casually tossed the military flag into Xie Yi’s arms, his eyes burning brightly as he looked at the first old friend to step onto the stage. The bright moon-like elegance around him suddenly transformed into an evil and bizarre, solemn, and gorgeous aura.
“Cousin, you’re indeed the first to come on stage.”
Xia Xuyan, whom Gu Changli called cousin, raised his eyes to look at the graceful young man whose temperament had greatly changed, “It’s been fourteen years, you’re still as annoying as ever.”
Gu Changli clicked his tongue lightly, “So Cousin wanted me to die when I was so young~”
“It’s a pity that I only saw the truth after dying once.”
He spoke words of regret, but his eyes were full of mockery and killing intent.
“How about Cousin let me kill you once too?”
The young man slowly straightened his body, his thin lips slightly curving as he spoke.
Xia Xuyan clenched his hands tightly, released his mech, and immediately turned cold, “Then you can try and see who dies this time!”
His allies who entered the battle state with him included the female lead Song Jinghua, the people arranged by the Third Princess, and Jin Fang, the S-class mech combat soldier secretly planted in the Filmores Military Academy’s main team by the First Prince.
Yosel Military Academy faced off against Filmores Military Academy and Alexston Military Academy.
The old leader vs the eternal second place + perennial third place.
Gu Changli didn’t release his mech, and remained standing on the finish platform as he was, saying with a smile that wasn’t a smile, “After all these years, you still haven’t improved. You still resort to ganging up when you can’t win.”
“But it doesn’t matter, I’ll play with you to your heart’s content!”
He slightly raised his hand, and the mental power concentrated at his fingertips pressed down on the students of the two major military academies like a giant stone, with the greatest pressure on those at the front.
“!!!” Xia Xuyan gritted his teeth, forcefully propping up his mech, refusing to fall, but his strength was like an egg hitting a stone compared to Gu Changli.
With a thud, Xia Xuyan fell to the ground in response.
Whether it was the contestants at the scene or the audience watching the competition live, they were all dumbfounded.
[What’s going on?]
[Noah suppressed everyone with a wave of his hand?!]
[Wait, Noah and Xia Xuyan are cousins?]
[How is that possible! Xia Xuyan’s cousin is only that little prince who was seriously injured and is recuperating at home; the Third Princess only has one nephew.]
[The First Prince is still unmarried and has no children.]
[The Second Prince lost his wife early and does have a son, who is about the same age as Noah when you think about it.]
[Could Noah really be Little Prince Qingning?]
[But wasn’t he seriously injured and difficult to treat? Has he recovered in these years?!]
[If the little prince has recovered, why doesn’t he show his face and instead hides his identity and runs to Yosel Military Academy? And why did he reveal his identity at the competition?]
[No, I’m completely confused by this gossip.]
[Stop gossiping, now we should focus on the strength shown by the little prince!]
[I heard that when the little prince was rescued back to the Imperial Capital Star, his mental power plummeted, falling out of S-class, has it risen back up now?!]
[Noah seemed to be A-class before.]
[He showed combat power no less than an S-class mech combat soldier during the preliminary round, and the level reported by Yosel Military Academy was also S-class, but now I think he seems like an SS-class.]
[An S-class can’t suppress so many S-classes.]
[I rely on! The analysis in the front is so reasonable, our empire’s SS-class powerhouse is back!]
[Hahaha, let’s see how the Plath Empire can be arrogant!]
