Although Lu Yao grumbled, she was still curious about Li Xing’s desire to win first place.
Privately, they all knew Li Xing’s true intelligence was very high, but he had never used it in exams. Could he really get first place this time?
Lu Yao took the list Li Xing handed her and began to look for the teammates Li Xing had specifically requested for his team.
As expected, everyone was excited when they learned Lu Yao wanted to team up with them, but they were all bewildered when they knew Li Xing was the commander.
Li Xing?
What was that?
Had Lu Yao been possessed by a demon?
She was actually teaming up with Li Xing!
For the next three days, Lu Yao was even taken to the school infirmary by her friends for tests. Some suspected Lu Yao had been drugged by Li Xing to agree to team up with him.
When the final test results came out, everyone was silent.
With all her might, Lu Yao finally gathered these teammates.
After submitting the team list, the next day, everyone arrived at the school’s StarNet room. All students entered the StarNet pods, logged into StarNet, and then, according to their student numbers, entered the venue—the simulated battlefield of the Military Academy League!
It is worth mentioning that among the judges for this major military academy league, two of them were children whom the entire interstellar population watched grow up. Oh, no, they were no longer children now; they were heroes of the interstellar era!
They were stationed in the army, protecting hundreds of billions of people in the Federation and the Empire.
One of them was from the Federation, the most young and promising General Zhongli Yi.
The other was from the Empire, the distinguished General Harvey, renowned for his outstanding combat record.
Most importantly, it was rumored that General Harvey’s eldest daughter, Lu Yao, was participating in this competition.
As soon as the league broadcast began, many people were eager to find Lu Yao’s live stream. They all wanted to see Lu Yao’s performance in the league and whether she was as formidable as her father, General Harvey!
It is said that the layman watches the show, while the insider watches the art.
Lu Yao's team was quickly found. The live stream focused on them and within minutes, it climbed to the top spot on the viewership ranking of all live streams.
Their live stream ID even trended on major platforms, with hundreds of thousands, even millions, of viewers flooding their channel at a frenzied pace.
Among these dense viewers, most were casual onlookers, but there were also many military academy students who understood the intricacies of military academies.
For example, younger students from the same Imperial Military Academy, who, due to their year level, were not yet eligible to participate in the military academy league, could only watch the live stream like most ordinary viewers, keeping up with the latest developments of the military academy league in real-time.
Lu Yao was undoubtedly the most talked-about figure in the Imperial Military Academy!
In terms of status, Lu Yao was the eldest daughter of General Harvey, garnering immense attention.
This fact made Lu Yao extremely eye-catching, both within and outside the military academy. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she was the focus of universal attention; few people in the entire interstellar era didn't know who Lu Yao was.
In terms of strength, those familiar with the military academy knew that although Lu Yao was a girl, when it came to fighting and killing Zerg, she had completely inherited General Harvey's genes. There was only one word for it: dirty!
Miss Lu Yao's features were more like her mother's, quite cute. At first glance, she gave the impression of a pure and innocent girl one would fall in love with.
However, those familiar with Miss Lu Yao would feel their scalps tingle because Miss Lu Yao’s fighting techniques were too dirty!
Surprise attacks from the side, sneak attacks with powders, scientific traps, physical traps—she used all sorts of underhanded tactics, one after another.
The thoughts in Lu Yao's mind were like a black hole; no one could predict her next move, leaving them only to wail in defeat.
Someone once complained that Lu Yao was resorting to trickery, but what was the result?
General Harvey directly stepped forward to support his beloved daughter, posting a message on his official Weibo, questioning the critics.
Weren't these tactics usable against the Zerg?
Weren't these methods effective on the battlefield to deal with the Zerg?
Surprisingly, there were some who dared to say no!
Then, General Harvey activated a recording sphere and directly broadcast a genuine battle between humans and Zerg to the entire interstellar population!
It was a real battlefield. The dense swarm of Zerg made people’s scalps tingle, and many even cried out in fear!
Some even questioned General Harvey's intentions.
Did he intend to frighten the general public to death?
However, the response to their questions was General Harvey’s various audacious maneuvers!
After an all-day and all-night live broadcast of the real battlefield, people finally realized that the actual battlefield was not as grand and awe-inspiring as they had imagined. Or rather, General Harvey was too exceptional, completely unlike the dignified generals they had envisioned.
General Harvey's tactics on the battlefield were layered, and the Zerg were almost driven mad by him.
These combat methods were too dirty, too shameless!
Perhaps Miss Lu Yao’s possession of so many unconventional moves was secretly taught to her by General Harvey in private?
From then on, the training direction of the major military academies in the Empire suddenly changed, with all sorts of unconventional and surprising tactics making them difficult to guard against!
Because of this, the Federation suffered a crushing defeat in last year's league. After the league ended, the Federation was so angry that they cursed, saying that the people from the Imperial Military Academy played too dirty and were utterly shameless!
However, the military academy students cultivated by the Federation were not rigid bookworms incapable of adaptation. Upon returning to their schools, these "dirty" combat styles swept through the major military academies like a whirlwind.
After a year of study, it was suddenly the turn of the current batch of students for the military academy. Therefore, many people were now eager to know if the Federation would win this year’s league, or if the Empire would.
This is a digression; let’s return to Lu Yao’s live stream.
The outer viewers simply wanted to see Lu Yao and watch the spectacle.
The people of the Imperial Military Academy exploded when they saw Li Xing in Lu Yao's team!
Instantly, everyone from the Imperial Military Academy couldn't help but spam the comments, asking what was going on.
Why would their goddess Lu Yao team up with that trash Li Xing?
Were they blind?
Or had the world gone bizarre?
However, at this moment, too many outside viewers were flooding the live stream, and their comments were quickly drowned out by the general public’s popcorn-munching remarks, so no one noticed.
The military academy students couldn't help themselves. They quickly opened their private groups for military academy students or went to their military academy forums to post inquiries about what was happening.
The girls who had accidentally seen Li Xing and Lu Yao teaming up in the girls' dormitory saw these posts and couldn't help but reply.
Thus, everyone soon learned that Li Xing had asked Goddess Lu Yao to team up with him for the sake of winning first place in this league!
