CHAPTER 370: CHAPTER 126: ENTRANCE EXAMINATION

Thinking back to when Du Xixi was going to participate in the civilian competition, people on the Star Network, although not complaining about Du Xixi, were actually certain of her impending defeat.

But now? Not only was Du Xixi not defeated, but she also used very crisp and sharp techniques to defeat all her opponents. She alone brought seventy points of good results to the Blue Star Empire!

Compared to everyone’s excitement, Du Xixi herself was relatively calm. She gradually mastered her abilities in one competition after another; the instinctive reactions from the first event she could now deliberately execute.

Furthermore, Du Xixi has come to understand the real benefits of an S-Class constitution.

The seven events were conducted consecutively, with only a night between the third and fourth events, so she didn’t have much rest time. But Du Xixi didn’t feel tired at all; instead, she was full of energy, growing more excited with each battle.

Off the battle stage and back in her elegant attire, Du Xixi returned to being the noble Empress. Though she appeared to sit gracefully in her chair, her heart still throbbed with a bit of excitement, wishing for a few more events. She even said to Ke Lian beside her, "I thought I was weak, but actually, I’m quite strong."

"You! The emperors of the Four Great Empires would kill you with their eyes if they could." Seeing his little wife achieve a complete victory, Ke Lian’s heart and face were full of happiness, and he affectionately pinched the soft side of Du Xixi’s face. "We will all be proud of you."

From being underestimated to achieving a complete victory, from what was thought to be a zero-point finish to ultimately securing seventy points, Du Xixi played a perfect comeback!

Everyone in the Blue Star Empire will surely remember Du Xixi’s elegance at this moment, taking pride in her and being proud of her!

Seeing Du Xixi raise her eyebrows more playfully, Ke Lian withdrew his hand, glanced at the simulated sun high in the sky, and waved to the Mechanical Soldiers nearby to fetch a standing sunshade.

Du Xixi’s constitution was already excellent, and her physical fitness surpassed most people, but she was after all delicately nurtured, and someone as delicate as her couldn’t withstand the sun’s scorching rays. That’s why her face turned pale in the sunlight yesterday morning.

The Mechanical Soldiers wouldn’t normally follow Ke Lian’s orders, but since finding a sunshade was to protect Du Xixi from the sun, and it was to protect her from the sun’s harm, after assessing the situation, the Mechanical Soldiers complied.

However, when the spacious sunshade opened, it was enough to enclose Ke Lian as well, but the Mechanical Soldiers moved their arm, shifting the sunshade to their own side—enough to block all the sunlight from reaching Du Xixi, leaving Ke Lian fully exposed to the sun.

Du Xixi: ...

Ke Lian: ...

Mechanical Soldiers: ^_^.

In Ke Lian’s impression, Mechanical Soldiers in the Imperial Guard have never shown such "childish" behavior, but the few that Chen Yin sent to Du Xixi’s side each rejected Ke Lian more than the last. Though their disdain was usually subtle, it was clear in many details.

Ke Lian had no doubt that Chen Yin must have deliberately modified their programming. Although this act was more childish than the behavior of the Mechanical Soldiers just now, Chen Yin was indeed capable of such things.

In the following days, Du Xixi played the role of a spectator. When the contestants from the Blue Star Empire won, she would elegantly clap her hands to express congratulations. But if the Blue Star Empire lost, she would maintain a seated smile, ensuring not a single flaw in her etiquette.

Of course, the Blue Star Empire didn’t lose much. At least in the nearly hundred events Du Xixi watched, as long as Blue Star Empire participated, they won nine out of ten fights.

Soon, it came to the last day of the Alliance Military Competition. This day had no events at all because all competitions had ended. Today was the day everyone anticipated the most, the awards ceremony.

To signify the importance of today’s occasion, Chen Yin, who hadn’t appeared in the previous days, was going to personally host the closing ceremony of the Alliance Military Competition—yes, this was originally the job of the Minister of the Military, which he had taken over.

Du Xixi and Ke Lian had not received any prior notice; they were quite startled by Chen Yin’s "sudden attack," but aside from a momentary stiff look, they had no other reactions while standing beside Chen Yin.

As they watched Chen Yin step forward and begin his mesmerizing speech that was reminiscent of a national day celebration, Du Xixi twitched her mouth and gave Ke Lian a questioning look.
