Chapter 368: Chapter 368: No One is Better Than Him

Pei Yuexuan looked at Mu Yunlie with an expectant face, waiting for Mu Yunlie’s reply.

The recent days had been hanging by a thread, which he truly found to be enough.

He really hoped that the Lord Commander would reconcile with Yan Qianyi soon.

Mu Yunlie looked at the medicine bottle on the table, his gaze deep, and his voice betrayed no emotion, “We’ll talk about it tomorrow.”

Still not receiving an answer, Pei Yuexuan sighed inwardly and did not dare to say more.

The next day, the Federation Military Academy gathered all the top talents from military academies across the Federation Empire, and the atmosphere was electric.

Yan Chuhua wasn’t competing, but she was even more excited than those like Yan Qianyi who were.

“Qianyi, Ziyu and I will cheer for you from the stands later!”

Yan Qianyi nodded. She didn’t take the internal friendly competition within the Federation Empire seriously at all.

Teacher Mai Hunter had told her he had confirmed that among all the students from the Special Department participating, none had a Spiritual Power Value as high as hers.

He had urged her to relax and not be nervous for not having awakened a special ability.

So her victory was beyond doubt.

But Xue Xiaoguang seemed a bit nervous, muttering prayers to himself.

Yan Chuhua asked him, “What are you mumbling about like some kind of fortune teller?”

“I’m worried about drawing lots in the first round and ending up in the same group as my sister. If my luck’s that bad, I won’t even need to compete, I could just forfeit.”

Saying this, Xue Xiaoguang clasped his hands together and bowed to the sky, “Please, please, don’t let me draw my sister in the first round; let me have a bit more fun.”

Yan Chuhua looked at him with disgust, “So you haven’t even understood the competition rules yet?”

“Ah? What rules?” Xue Xiaoguang was utterly clueless.

“First, students from different academies draw lots for one-on-one matches, and the last six left will draw lots again to decide who faces whom.”

“I see!” Xue Xiaoguang breathed a sigh of relief, “That’s good, that’s good. So as long as I try a little harder, making it to the top six won’t be a problem.”

But Yan Chuhua poured cold water on his enthusiasm, “That’s not certain; there are quite a few masters, including four from our first year, not to mention the upperclassmen from the Special Department.”

Yet Xue Xiaoguang remained unconcerned, “In the special ability competition, it mainly depends on talent and special ability. What’s so scary about the upperclassmen?”

Indeed, many people would only see a slight increase in their Spiritual Power Value from enrollment to graduation after several years.

Yun Mu said, “Let’s go; Teacher Mai Hunter is waiting for us. We should head to the waiting area.”

Yan Chuhua nodded and said to Xia Ziyu, “We’ll go wait in the audience seats too.”

From the waiting area, they could see what was happening on the screen.

Yan Qianyi gazed at the screen, where the school leaders sat, noting that Ah Lie and the Lord Chief Commander were not present.

Xue Xiaoguang excitedly whispered in her ear, “Sis, do you see? That center seat is reserved for the Lord Chief Commander. Knowing that the Commander is coming, I bet everyone will be giving it their all today.”

Yan Qianyi nodded.

She was glad that the Lord Chief Commander was coming, but at this moment, what concerned her more was whether Ah Lie would show up.

It had been many days since she had last seen him.

She had thought that out of sight would mean out of mind.

But longing ate at her heart like ants consuming it.

At this moment, Mai Hunter and Vick walked over.

Vick asked, “How did everyone sleep last night?”

Wang Shanshan nodded, “Quite well.”

In the Special Department competition, it’s all about spiritual power, and if one doesn’t rest well and is mentally fatigued, they can’t perform well.

Mai Hunter said, “Don’t be nervous, everyone. Keep a good mindset, just as if you’re training as usual.”

The four nodded.

Yan Qianyi and Yun Mu appeared calm, only Xue Xiaoguang and Wang Shanshan seemed nervous.

After all, they represented the new strength of the Federation Military Academy.

Mai Hunter gave Yan Qianyi a meaningful look, then walked aside.

Yan Qianyi got the hint and quietly followed.

Mai Hunter asked her, “Did you really break up with Teacher Mu? He didn’t even come on such an important day.”

“Yes.”

The competition had already started, it seemed Mu Yunlie wouldn’t show up today.

“What a pity, it won’t be easy to find another man who is even more handsome than me to be your husband in the future.”

Seeing Yan Qianyi’s eyes dim, Mai Hunter patted her shoulder, “I’m just kidding. You are so outstanding that even without him, you’ll meet someone better.”

Yan Qianyi forced a smile.

There would be no one better.

Now in her heart, no one could take Ah Lie’s place.

Mai Hunter then asked, “It won’t affect the competition, will it?”

He was now regretting gossiping before the match.

Yan Qianyi shook her head, her eyes regaining a confident smile, “No, this competition is like child’s play.”

For Yan Qianyi, the domestic Military Academy fellowship competition was indeed like child’s play.

Because no one’s Spiritual Power Value was higher than hers.

Once on the field, it took her less than thirty seconds to defeat her opponent.

By directly releasing spiritual power to suppress, preventing the opponent from unleashing their special ability, and then using agile and swift martial moves, she subdued the opponent in one go.

The Federation Military Academy had inquired about the other military academies, and naturally, the other academies had also learned about the Federation Military Academy.

So, the participants in the special skills competition knew that Yan Qianyi had a high Spiritual Power Value.

But they didn’t expect that she, appearing so tender and frail, also had such a high Combat Power.

If it hadn’t been for the sake of quick victory, she wouldn’t have needed to use her spiritual power; winning by her combat skills alone wouldn’t have been difficult.

Yan Qianyi shocked everyone as soon as she stepped onto the field.

Even Mai Hunter didn’t expect her Combat Power to be off the charts.

Usually, in combat classes, Yan Qianyi didn’t stand out particularly.

Thus, Yan Qianyi became the nightmare of all participating cadets.

Everyone prayed that they wouldn’t draw her in tomorrow’s match.

Seeing everyone cheer for Yan Qianyi, Xue Xiaoguang was unbearably proud, as if he was the one receiving the applause.

It wasn’t just Xue Xiaoguang; all the Special Department students from the Federation Military Academy were proud of her.

And they were relieved to be from the same school as Yan Qianyi, so they wouldn’t meet her in the preliminary matches.

Being her opponent was simply too miserable.

When Yan Qianyi stepped off the stage, she glanced at the audience where the school leaders were seated.

Ah Lie still hadn’t come, and the spot reserved for the Commander was also empty.

Initially, she had agreed to participate in the Military Academy fellowship for her idolized god of war, so she still felt a bit of regret that the Commander wasn’t there.

But it didn’t matter; she was determined to win the championship, and then the Commander himself would accompany her to the International Military Academy fellowship.

Moreover, she had just received good news. This year’s International Military Academy fellowship would be held in the Morris Empire.

That meant, she could see her brother again.
