"Rumble, rumble."
Outside the cave, the sound of mechs operating filled the air, while Lin Hao sat in the depths of the cave, listening to the noises from outside.
Three, two, one.
He counted silently in his heart. As expected, fighting sounds erupted from outside.
But no matter how loud the sounds were, they did not disturb the girl sleeping soundly inside the cave.
Lin Hao walked to Ye Xue's side, looked down at her sleeping figure, and couldn't help but wonder, "Is she really that sleepy?"
Just as Lin Hao reached out to check if the girl was about to pass out, his hand was grabbed by the girl beneath him.
Ye Xue's bright, almond-shaped eyes stared at the mischievous boy in front of her without blinking. She released his hand after holding it for less than two minutes.
She stretched lazily and asked nonchalantly, "How many people are left outside?"
Probably one or two, she thought.
As for Lin Hao, who had been released, his face showed no embarrassment. Don't ask why, his expression had long since abandoned him.
Cough, cough.
It was a little awkward after all.
He had been caught.
Lin Hao glanced at the system and saw that the original twenty people had been reduced to ten due to the principal's foolish actions.
Seeing the number, he brought the screen to Ye Xue's face and said, "Shall we go out now?"
Didn't she say they would go out when there were only ten people left?
And the people outside should not be fighting anymore.
It even felt like some kind of unauthorized alliance.
Lin Hao looked at the red dots gathered together, and a bold guess formed in his mind.
"Let's go out. Those people are planning to team up and take me down. No matter how long we wait, there will still only be ten of them."
Ye Xue, who had been sitting in the depths of the cave, saw the system Lin Hao offered. She glanced at it, then looked away. She then sat up on the ground, patted the nonexistent dust off her clothes, and said to Lin Hao.
Although she really wanted to cast a divination now, the moment she thought of the god's prophecy for her, she gave up the idea.
Today was definitely going to be an eventful day.
Ye Xue looked at the child she had taken care of these past few days with some reluctance, but she soon let it go.
This child would become a legendary figure in the future.
She wouldn't need her to worry too much.
With that thought, Ye Xue skipped towards the cave entrance, completely free from her usual gloomy demeanor.
Lin Hao watched her retreating figure and felt a pang of heartache?
When had he ever seen Ye Xue look so relaxed?
However, this ridiculous thought was immediately discarded from Lin Hao's mind. Why should he feel sorry for this girl who had caused him so much trouble?
If it weren't for her, his graduation training wouldn't have been this hellishly difficult.
Although he had learned a lot from this girl, he still wished for fewer hardships.
With his thoughts settled, Lin Hao followed Ye Xue towards the cave exit.
When he reached the entrance, he saw Ye Xue surrounded by four mechs.
Ye Xue's face was expressionless, and she simply looked up at the mechs encircling her.
Seeing this, Lin Hao's heart leaped into his throat.
He was truly afraid that the mechs would stomp Ye Xue beneath them into a pulp.
He just couldn't understand why Ye Xue wasn't afraid.
Could it be true, as Su Zhao had said, that she was the Ye Xue who had charged into and out of a million mechs?
Tsk.
At that time, he had thought Su Zhao's admiration for her was excessive.
But now, seeing the disdainful look on Ye Xue's face, he was starting to believe it.
Had he been brainwashed by Ye Xue too?
Perhaps it was because he had been tormented by Ye Xue these past few days, leading to some strange psychological issues.
The mechs did not immediately attack Ye Xue.
Instead, they jumped out of their cockpits and approached Ye Xue.
"Lady Ye, we will not make things difficult for you. You only need to activate your smoke bomb," said a gentle-looking boy with glasses, stepping forward to Ye Xue and performing a standard courtly bow. He spoke respectfully.
Before Ye Xue could say anything, a red-haired man standing beside them, with a leaf in his mouth, mockingly addressed the previous speaker, "Si Yang, you're truly hypocritical. Even now, you're still resorting to courtesy before force. Do you really think Lady Ye will agree to your terms?"
To ask the strongest person to surrender directly, this person had some nerve to say such things.
The red-haired man's companion saw this and stepped forward to pull him back, a warning in his eyes.
Seeing this, the red-haired man reluctantly retreated to his original position.
Chen Chen, who had been standing at the back, quietly watched them argue.
He had no intention of joining their dispute.
After all, in this guidance class, his strength was the lowest. His best strategy now was to stay in the back and watch them fight it out.
Ye Xue, the center of their argument, heard this and said nothing more. She immediately teleported to Lin Hao's side.
Her actions were the best answer.
She would not activate her smoke bomb.
Let the battle begin directly.
Lin Hao, who had been observing their actions, ignored their intricate maneuvers and directly summoned his mech.
A dark, menacing mech appeared before them. It was as tall as the ancient tree beside it, and even standing still, it exuded a powerful aura.
Ye Xue, standing at the mech's feet, instantly teleported inside and took the co-pilot's seat next to Lin Hao.
Ye Xue reached out and connected to the mech's defense system, then began to channel her mental energy into it.
Typically, the co-pilot of a mech was reserved for someone with extremely high mental power, as this would better protect the main pilot and the mech's safety.
It also allowed for clear and safe commands to be given to the main pilot.
This was precisely why the guidance class was so sought after by everyone.
Who would refuse a free shield?
Seeing this, the others said nothing more.
Since Lady Ye had chosen her path, they could only accompany her.
They then returned to their respective mechs.
"Lin Hao, attack the tail wing of the red mech in front."
Ye Xue's clear voice was entirely different from her usual tone. Lin Hao, seated in the main pilot's position, heard this and immediately pulled the control stick, launching an attack towards the tail wing of the red mech.
However, two silver mechs suddenly appeared in front of the red mech, blocking the attack.
