Chapter 160: Long Xiaoyao: Licking… I’m destined to be with you! Exchange students, let’s begin! (4,000 words) (Ch 160)

The night is thick.
Long Xiaoyao was wearing a black robe with gold patterns, which fluttered gently in the evening breeze.
After a long time, he put down a letter.
With his brows slightly furrowed, the words between the lines, apart from reminiscing about the past, only asked him to take good care of his only great-grandson Beibei.
“It seems that your life is coming to an end.” Long Xiaoyao sighed lightly.
Moon was smart enough to know that their old friendship would not allow him to leave the Holy Spirit Church, but taking care of a mere great-grandson was something he could not shirk.
“But, is this boy also a romantic?” Long Xiaoyao took out another letter, which was the information about Beibei collected by the Holy Spirit Church.
“Lick…” He was about to speak, but his throat was stuck. After hesitating for a moment, he shook his head and said, “Never mind, he is somewhat similar to me…”
“In the Sun and Moon Empire, I will ensure that you will not die.”
…
Maple Leaf City.
At the edge of Tianhun, close to Xingluo and Sun and Moon Empires.
The Western Frontier Army of the Tianhun Empire is stationed here, known as the 100,000-strong army to guard the west. This city is also one of the important logistical supply cities for the army.
In Mr. Cheng’s discussion on blitzkrieg, the red dot was specially marked.
Maple Leaf City, which used to have strict military discipline and was quite solemn, and which ordinary civilians had always been very proud of, now welcomed two groups of uninvited guests.
In the cleared square, not only ordinary civilians were unable to enter, even many officers of the Western Zombie Army who used the square as one of their garrisons in the past were driven out, and stood together with ordinary civilians in a dusty and dusty state.
Countless civilians looked at the bruised and battered men, not daring to say a word, and could only stay in the corner and wait for the two groups to leave. The officers who used to be high and mighty felt a great shock for the first time, the oppression from the two [truly] top forces.
Inside the square.
The exchange students between Shrek Academy and the Sun Moon Empire Royal Academy, plus Yan Shaozhe and Jing Hongchen, a total of forty-two people, all stood proudly on the stage.
Yan Shaozhe looked around at the opposite side, and his stiff expression looked slightly better.
The other side sent out three level seven soul mentors, all of whom were students under the age of 30. There was also the regular team captain Ma Rulong, who had just finished the competition not long ago, and Xiao Hongchen, the grandson of Jing Hongtang.
This shows how much the other party values ​​it.
“Master Jing, long time no see.”
“Haha, yes…”
The two old bastards were chatting with each other with a smile on their faces.
In fact, before setting off, Xu Cheng also raised an objection to a “loophole”. The so-called Shrek Inner Court Supervisory Group mission, after all, the exchange time is as long as three years. With the strength of Xiao Hongchen and others, it is a problem to directly join the Inner Court. It is only a matter of time before they face this.
Otherwise, it would be funny that the exchange students of Shrek went abroad to study, but the students of Sun Moon Empire went abroad to be mercenaries…
Shrek originally wanted to take this opportunity to practice Tai Chi and negotiate terms, but the next day, he was shut up by a letter from Xu Cheng.
According to the principle of reciprocity for exchange students, since your school insists, we also have reason to allow your exchange students to participate in the [Supervision Group] plan of Mingde Hall to punish evil and promote good, and wipe out the nests of evil soul masters. They only need to complete three tasks to graduate.
Shrek: “…”
Let’s look at the IP first. Almost 90% of the evil soul masters are now in the Sun Moon Empire, not to mention that the Sun Moon Empire is colluding with the Holy Spirit Church. You are going to kill the evil soul masters? What’s the difference between that and sending yourself to die?
There are still three tasks. Don’t tell me that two of these three tasks require taking a bath in the bathhouse of the Holy Spirit Church headquarters. If the Holy Spirit Church headquarters is right across from the academy, it would be quite convenient. That would be even more ridiculous…
Xiao Hongchen secretly looked at the opposite side.
He knew the indifferent senior sister Zhang Lexuan, the young master of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, and his old rivals Beibei and Xu Sanshi. After all, Riyue and Shrek were strong rivals. He had also heard of the appearance and identities of some of the outstanding geniuses.
On the other hand, the more he knew, the more it proved that Shrek was “coming out in full force” this time.
Ah Xiao nodded with satisfaction. This was in line with his identity as the second most talented person in the Sun and Moon Empire, the grandson of Jing Hongchen, and the owner of half of Mingde Hall.
“But…” Looking at Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan, he hesitated again. Ah Cheng was really popular with girls. As a good friend, he watched step by step how Xu Cheng went from being a loner to being surrounded by girls…
I hope that by then, my sister won’t even be able to drink soup.
He glanced at Ning Tian and had reason to suspect that this young sect leader was coming for Xu Cheng.
Ning Tian noticed something and looked up. Seeing Xiao Hongchen’s presumptuous look, he frowned slightly, but habitually nodded slightly and returned the greeting with a smile.
“Cough cough…” Xiao Hongchen coughed twice awkwardly and looked away.
Forget it, everyone has their own destiny.
Dream, there is not much time left for you~
…
“Your Highness, why are you here?”
Xuan Ziwen looked at the distinguished guest who came early in the morning and said a little stiffly.
“I’m here to pick up Orange and go to the military headquarters, and I’ll come look for you as well.” Xu Cheng sat leisurely on the chair, looking around.
This is Xuan Ziwen’s private laboratory. Every Mingde Hall teacher and eighth-level soul guide will be individually equipped with a complete laboratory. Scientific research projects can be applied for on a laboratory basis. The all-terrain detection soul guide in the original novel was developed under his leadership.
Regarding the all-terrain detection soul guide device, its main purpose is concealment, covering up the soul guide fluctuations it emits. The concealment of missile technology is borrowed from it, but in fact, it also has a trend of developing into an offensive soul guide device. After all, it is a sphere that moves by inserting six “spider legs” into the soil. If a long-range soul guide cannon is installed on it, it will be a ready-made [tank].
In fact, the Sun-Moon Empire had already developed tanks and the like, with tracks replacing wheels, but this was really useless because the general trend of the Sun-Moon Empire’s development was to target the original three kingdoms, provide their capital, and unify Douluo.
The advantage of a tank lies in its load-bearing capacity. It can carry extremely heavy soul guide cannons and can be enchanted. It cannot be easily disassembled after being formed. Flying soul guides are even more difficult to carry, making it extremely bulky.
In short, it has thick skin and strong attack power, which makes it suitable for crushing and pushing forward all the way. A soul-guided tank battalion has extremely strong combat effectiveness, but its disadvantage is… it is too slow. Moreover, the original continent is vast, with complex terrain, mountains, rivers, etc., which may stop the tanks in place. Taking a detour will cause strategic impact.
The Sun-Moon Empire has simulated and deduced countless attacks on the original three kingdoms, and has reached a consistent conclusion, which is similar to blitzkrieg, and tanks will not only fail to play an advantage, but may become a burden.
However, if the soul guide group only relies on flying soul guides to fight, it would be a bit weak. They are fast and agile, but lack large-scale and powerful firepower. If the ground forces cannot provide sufficient firepower support, it is actually somewhat similar to the so-called “individual soldier plan” of Shrek Academy in the original book.
In fact, the mecha recently developed by Xu Cheng has replaced the function of the all-terrain detector to a certain extent, but it can never be a complete replacement. The mecha is more agile and equipped with a flying soul guide, including automatic aiming and defense. It is more like an advanced version of the original ordinary soul guide group.
They can appear on the battlefield at an extremely fast speed, including providing support, firepower, or roaming. At the same time, they have thick metal shells, which can increase the survival rate of soul masters. They can even exert the strength of seventh-level soul masters at level six, and have enough “backup hidden energy” to ensure combat endurance.
But in terms of firepower, it is still inferior to big guys like tanks.
After all, in order to consider agility, the former must make some cuts. Even for the first-generation mecha, countless Mingdetang researchers have improved its performance to the extreme. At the same level, the firepower of the tank still crushes the mecha.
The purpose of Xu Cheng’s visit today is to investigate the offensive development of the all-terrain detector. In the later part of the original work, it was called an all-terrain self-propelled turret, and the number of its gun barrels was even strengthened by Huo Gua to one hundred, which was as outrageous as a hedgehog.
In the later period, it also contributed an extremely important role when Huo Gua fought guerrilla warfare deep in the belly of the Sun and Moon.
Xuan Ziwen was a little confused and quickly poured a cup of tea for Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng smiled and waved his hand, rejecting the good intention: “Teacher Xuan, I came here this time to trouble you for something, about the all-terrain detection soul guide.”
“When I was researching the first generation, I participated in the manufacturing of about one-third of the formation core. If you have any questions, I will tell you everything I know.” Xuan Ziwen was stunned.
“No, no, no, I came here with a request.” Xu Cheng said with a smile.
“Request?” Xuan Ziwen understood immediately, “You want to improve it?”
“Yes, I found that Mingde Hall has paid too little attention to it in the past.” Xu Cheng sighed, “A thing that can greatly change the direction of the war has not received the attention it deserves.”
“Then you are hoping…” Xuan Ziwen’s brows lit up with joy.
“Develop it into a tank.” Xu Cheng said, “I want it to replace the role of heavy traditional mobile artillery such as tanks. You can also think of it as a mobile turret, which can increase firepower without affecting the movement speed.”
“But the current funding.” Xuan Ziwen was a little embarrassed.
“Haha, go ahead and apply. I will allocate funds to you. Just tell me if you need people or resources. From now on, this will be the second priority project besides mechas.” Xu Cheng glanced at Xuan Ziwen. This guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes is also very smart. He knows that the crying child gets the milk.
He remembered that this man was not a virgin in the original book, and his face turned red after Ke Ke kissed him.
“Thank you, Your Highness!!!”
Xuan Ziwen almost jumped up with joy.
He thought Xu Cheng might take it seriously, but he didn’t expect him to take it so seriously.
This coincided with his thoughts. After all, with his vision that transcended the future, he could see that this thing was extraordinary… He was worthy of being called His Highness.
Xu Cheng looked at Xuan Ziwen’s excited expression and smiled without saying anything.
Of course, he had other purposes for coming here.
Xuan Ziwen is definitely a scientific research expert in the original novel. The linked soul guide he researched in the later period almost changed the situation of the war. Unfortunately, the original Three Kingdoms was too corrupt…
So, be sure to accept it.
…
“Are you leaving?”
Mingde Hall, in a certain instructor’s laboratory.
Zi Mu looked at the beautiful girl who was yawning not far away. Her skin, as white as porcelain, was always something she could be proud of. It was not simply pale due to excessive blood loss, but a kind of natural and beautiful decoration. The girl’s appearance was top-notch in the Royal Academy of the Sun and Moon Empire, and this skin made her as beautiful as a swan.
Always so touching.
“Yes, His Highness arranged for Sister Orange to join the army. It is said that she is in the Fire Phoenix Soul Instructor Corps and was directly airdropped as a battalion commander. It is said that most people who join the army start as ordinary soldiers. If you want to become a battalion commander, you must at least be at the peak of Soul Saint…” Ke Ke looked on with anticipation.
Fire Phoenix, that’s the dream place for all the girls in the whole academy. Just a few days ago, those short-haired female soldiers who were captured wantonly in Mingdu made her obsessed and she couldn’t sleep well for several nights. As a result, when she went to register on the third day, she was told that she was blocked due to height issues…
She looked at her chest helplessly, wondering why couldn’t it be longer?
Alas, loli also has her own troubles.
“His Highness ordered me to go there to assemble a mecha battalion. Mingdetang just delivered a batch of the latest generation of machines not long ago…” Orange said with a slight smile.
Speaking of which, she was under a lot of pressure. The Fire Phoenix Soul Instructor Group was full of elite members. It would be difficult for her, a Soul King, to take on the position of battalion commander, even with Xu Cheng’s endorsement…
After all, in the military camp, you either have to have a big fist or great strategy to win the support of the people.
But she had a tenacious determination.
In order to get revenge, she had to take this step.
“……” Zi Mu was full of confusion.
He likes oranges. For the sake of oranges, he would rather give up his identity as a student of Mingdetang and become a chef. It can be said that he loves oranges deeply.
From the first day that Ju Zi joined the laboratory, he fell in love with this seemingly lazy but actually tough girl of the same age, until the latter calmly pointed out: “Sorry, Zi Mu, I have someone I like…”
It was as if the sky was falling and the earth was splitting, but Zimu did not give up. Instead, he practiced his cooking skills and made delicious egg fried rice. Keke and others were amazed after eating it. Only Juzi had a calm expression and knew that his food was far worse than Xu Cheng’s.
A prince with powerful strength and noble status can actually make fried rice?
Zi Mu felt like the sky had fallen. No wonder he could win the heart of the goddess…
Vicious competition!
Of course, he didn’t believe that a prince’s cooking could be better than his own. It must be because of his status that Orange was just moved.
“Sister Orange, hehe…” Ke Ke hurriedly hugged Orange’s arm, acting cute and coquettish.
“This is the military’s rule. There are clear requirements for height, weight, and soul power.” Orange stroked her hair helplessly. “Only if you are extremely outstanding can you ignore these.”
“Am I not good enough? I entered Mingde Hall at the age of fifteen and became a fifth-level soul mentor. They must be blind!” Ke Ke said angrily, frustrated.
“…” Orange shrugged.
Keke is indeed outstanding, and it is no exaggeration to say that she is one in ten in the academy. However, she is still a long way from being able to ignore the rules.
Only someone as skilled as Ma Rulong or Lin Xi could ignore it…
“Okay, I’m leaving now. Don’t miss me.” Orange greeted the two of them with a smile. Just as she was about to leave, she saw the laboratory door slowly open, and Xu Cheng and Xuan Ziwen walked out talking and laughing.
