“Pingtong Academy’s main team has replaced a 3S soldier from the previous competition, and the Imperial Military Academy has replaced its super 3S level chief commander.” Xi Haotian looked at the five military academies outside the arena and said, “The current situation seems to be reversed compared to the competition back then.”
The two most favored military academies were weakened, while the two worst-performing military academies rose in rankings. This is definitely the first time this has happened since the start of the competition.
“I’m very curious about the results of South Percy Military Academy this time. I heard that Yamamiya Namiha and Yamamiya Isao performed the best in the second half of this joint training.” Lu Zhengxin put his finger to his lips, with a half-smile. “The people in the command headquarters really stumbled in their analysis this year.”
“If I remember correctly, you were also a member of the command center,” Yu Tianhe said, looking at the live stream camera, seemingly mocking Lu Zhengxin.
Lu Zhengxin couldn’t help but recall the darkest moments when his explanations were proven wrong: “……”
The atmosphere on the main commentary stand was tense, while the various military academies outside the stadium had already begun to enter.
Damocles Military Academy, being the top-ranked school in the arena, was naturally the first to enter. The moment they stepped into the Xuanfeng Arena, everyone felt the intense wind blowing towards them, their faces contorted in the cold.
The military cadets pulled out their fur-lined hats from their pockets and put them on their heads. Each hat was a simple, lonely piece of clothing, and they all looked uglier than the last.
“Where did they get these hats?” Xi Haotian asked in surprise, looking at the group from Damocles Military Academy. He didn’t remember having such a thing in his combat kit.
In previous years, the young military academy students’ images were severely damaged at this competition, their faces distorted by the wind. However, this was the scene that the seniors loved to see, and it was also a long-standing source of amusement for the StarNet community. Fans often engaged in online arguments, throwing out unflattering photos of each other’s idols at the slightest disagreement. The Xuanfeng competition was a major source of these unflattering photos.
Although the hats worn by the Damocles cadets were also ugly, their faces were mostly obscured by the fur around the edges of the hats, making them difficult to see.
Lu Zhengxin thought for a moment and finally remembered something Jin Ke from Damocles Military Academy did in the last competition. They encountered a group of A-level long-haired star beasts, but they didn’t exchange them and were scolded by the exchange office, saying that the current military academy students don’t know what they’re thinking all day.
So that’s where it’s used.
Judging from the appearance, these hats were all handmade by the mecha engineers from each squad, and they were all ugly in a variety of ways.
The main team’s hats were all made by Ying Chenghe. He probably got his inspiration from the cotton-padded jackets, and the hats he made looked as if they were cut from the jackets. He also carefully added thin strings to both sides of each hat.
These items were all taken from the previous batch of A-grade long-haired star beasts. At the time, he thought that since he wouldn’t be able to exchange them for many important materials, he simply didn’t exchange them.
“It’s… okay… not… cold, just… windy.” Young Master Liao wanted to speak, but the wind was so strong that he swallowed it as soon as he opened his mouth, making his speech slow.
Braving the strong winds, the group moved forward. Jin Ke chose a shorter route with many star beasts and led the team forward slowly.
The road was exceptionally clean, with no dead branches or pebbles, clearly because the wind was so strong that all of these things had been blown away.
Soldiers are fine, but some mecha engineers and commanders haven’t done a good job with wind resistance training, and they often slip. Sometimes, when a strange wind blows, people are carried away by the wind or spin in place, and only the soldiers in the same team can watch.
Jin Ke looked back and roughly understood the situation, so he slightly deviated from the route to try to find a place where he could block the wind.
“Next, we’ll probably pass through a forest of strange willows. There are many strange willows here, which are extremely resilient, allowing them to survive in the Xuanfeng Arena. However, because their branches are long, they sway in the strong winds, so we’ve been attacked in the past. Everyone be careful,” Jin Ke warned in advance. “It’s not advisable to use mechas here, as it’s easy for them to get stuck.”
“Are there any star beasts inside?” Wei San asked.
“Yes,” Jin Ke said, “but they won’t be very big, so we’ll have to rely on ourselves.”
Upon hearing this, the soldiers in the team immediately drew their weapons.
