Chapter 176: Chapter 176: Take Off the Mask, Descend into the World

Yan Qianyi happily looked at the Commander and blinked.

He must remember her, and thought she had died young—thus making such a remark.

Now it was Mu Yunlie’s turn to be puzzled.

What did she mean?

At that moment, Xue Xiaoguang shouted at the group, "Sis! This guy has poisoned himself, and he is about to kick the bucket! What should we do? He’s nearly out of breath!"

Hearing this, Yan Qianyi quickly said, "Lord, wouldn’t you consider sending me back?"

By the time she returned, the man would probably be dead.

The last surviving witness couldn’t be allowed to die!

Behind his mask, Mu Yunlie’s lips curved into a smile, and he gently pushed Yan Qianyi’s shoulder, not as eagerly or roughly as when he had pulled her over before.

Under the force of gravity, Yan Qianyi seemed to sprout invisible wings and flew back to Xue Xiaoguang’s side.

The students were all stunned.

They had only ever heard of the Lord Commander’s legend.

Legends said he was valiant and skilled in battle, capable of fighting hundreds alone, a Shura in the enemies’ eyes.

Today, upon seeing him, he exceeded the legends.

He had come alone, and in a short time, defeated the entire enemy force!

That intense spiritual power suppression was felt by everyone present!

In the past, they thought spiritual power suppression worked on individuals only.

But he showed all the new recruits what a true powerhouse looked like, what the real peak was!

After the turbulence, the students all cheered.

Undoubtedly, he must be the person with the highest Spiritual Power Value in the Universe, their First Commander!

Upon hearing the gunfire, Pei Yuexuan had charged in with his troops.

Seeing Mu Yunlie standing fine, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The accompanying Military Doctors approached the only survivor, pushing Yan Qianyi and Xue Xiaoguang aside, "You two, step aside!"

"Wait." Yan Qianyi said, "Don’t move him carelessly right now. I’ve temporarily sealed his acupuncture points to stop the toxin from spreading. Let me stabilize the toxins in his body before handing him over to you."

"Student, please step aside, and don’t cause trouble and waste time," a female Military Doctor urged, "We know how to handle this."

What acupoints and meridians? Such nonsense!

This only survivor was crucial, not a time for a novice to practice.

Xue Xiaoguang told the Military Doctor, "If it wasn’t for my sister, this guy would have already been dead. Let her handle it, don’t make things worse."

Everyone: ...

A student daring to talk to a Military Doctor like that?

"Xue Xiaoguang, even if Yan Qianyi’s Spiritual Power Value is high, she is still from the Special Department. No one from the Medical Department even dares to volunteer to detoxify this man," a male voice from the same class as Xue Xiaoguang advised, "You better step aside quickly. If there’s a delay, you won’t be able to take responsibility!"

At that moment, Mu Yunlie stepped forward, "Let her handle it."

The crowd around them quickly made way, standing respectfully to the side.

The Military Doctors didn’t understand why the Lord Commander had issued such an order, but they didn’t dare to question it.

Yan Qianyi was astonished, watching the military boots stepping towards her. She slowly lifted her head.

Above the stalwart figure was a silver mask.

Against the light, the eyes hidden behind the mask lingered in the shadows.

She couldn’t see his eyes, only that cold, fierce mask.

But she didn’t find the fierce mask scary at all—instead, it was extremely cool!

"Can you save him?" Mu Yunlie asked.

Now that he had calmed down, Mu Yunlie had regained his rationality. This only survivor was very important.

Yan Qianyi nodded, the poison hidden behind the man’s teeth was fast-acting and potent, but not difficult to counteract.

She had already sealed off his blood vessels to prevent the poison from spreading.

"Xiaoguang, pry open his mouth," Yan Qianyi said as she picked up the backpack that had fallen to the ground, preparing to take out the detoxification pill she had readied beforehand.

Xue Xiaoguang started to pry open the man’s mouth, then suddenly froze, "Sister... he doesn’t have a tongue."

Mu Yunlie’s personal military doctor, Lawrence, spoke up, "He is a Death Soldier."

Looking at Yan Qianyi again, Lawrence’s eyes filled with disbelief and admiration.

"These Death Soldiers’ poison can stop the heart in seconds, under normal circumstances there’s no time to prevent it," Lawrence curiously asked Yan Qianyi, "What you just mentioned about sealing blood vessels, how did you do that?"

Hearing Lawrence say that, the other classmates also looked at Yan Qianyi in amazement.

"This... it’s a long story," Yan Qianyi couldn’t elaborate.

She took out a detoxification pill and tossed it into the Death Soldier’s mouth, "Okay, let him lie still for five minutes, then you can take him back; the remaining toxins are up to you to deal with."

Lawrence nodded, "Okay, thank you, classmate!"

"No problem, it’s only right," Yan Qianyi stood up and brushed off the dust from her clothes, she flicked her long hair that had fallen onto her shoulders, trying to make her turn look graceful.

Although her entry had been somewhat awkward, she had managed to make a good impression.

Lord Commander must have a decent opinion of her by now, right?

However, she had already managed her expression well, but when she turned around, she only saw Lord Commander’s retreating back.

Oh no!

Why did he leave?

Mu Yunlie didn’t look back, but Pei Yuexuan who was following him did turn to glance at Yan Qianyi.

"Sir, she was watching you, did you perhaps reveal yourself just now?"

"I don’t know, let’s hurry," Mu Yunlie quickened his pace, "When we get back, make arrangements, I’m going to teach at the Federation Military Academy."

"What? You... what did you say?" Pei Yuexuan was stunned, thinking something must be wrong with his ears.

Mu Yunlie’s voice deepened, "I said I’m going to teach at the Federation Military Academy!"

"..." Pei Yuexuan couldn’t understand, "Why?"

Elite soldiers in the army had always longed for guidance from him, having once applied but being instantly rejected without consideration.

Now he wants to go to the Military Academy to instruct those green kids?

Mu Yunlie said impatiently, "Just go and make the arrangements, why all the fuss?"

"Alright... which department will you be teaching in?"

"The Special Department, not as a Commander."

"!!!"

Not as a Commander, meaning... Sir is going to take off the mask and descend into the world?

Was he not dreaming now?

Or having a hallucination?

Pei Yuexuan’s worldview completely shattered.

Meanwhile, Yan Qianyi stood with a face wanting to cry but unable to, watching the Commander’s figure getting farther and farther away, feeling extremely cold inside.

They hadn’t even properly spoken yet.

He hadn’t even answered her, whether he still remembered who she was.

Just like that, he had left...

The next time they met, probably only after she won the championship at the Military Academy’s upcoming meet.

But that competition was still months away!

Yan Qianyi sighed deeply, her mood sinking to rock bottom, utterly miserable.

Suddenly, a figure charged towards her at full speed
