Chapter 367 - 182: Rescue and Roadblock
Gu Ningxuan, after all, is a genius student at the Xilena Academy, and he is already very close to graduation. In fact, as far as combat strength is concerned, he is more formidable than many teachers, but he usually doesn’t have the opportunity to showcase his talents.
Determined to wipe out the enemy squad as quickly as possible, Gu Ningxuan seemed as if he were on something in his squadmates’ stunned gazes, single-handedly taking on the remaining two-thirds of the enemies. His advanced maneuvers dazzled onlookers, revealing one trump card after another, leading people to wonder if Su Jiameng’s team was a gathering of prodigies...
It’s worth noting that they were battling Augustus’s students, and their numbers were considerable. Yet still, Gu Ningxuan’s sudden dominance toppled many, leaving some unable to keep up with his speed. This speed wasn’t just about the Mecha’s inherent pace, but also the Mecha Master’s operation speed. When these two factors achieve harmony, the resulting power is truly terrifying.
Spectators noticed that Gu Ningxuan’s operations were incredibly smooth, with each action seamlessly and precisely timed, a feat even for many experienced Mecha Master experts! Gu Qidong watched intently from the audience, feeling conflicted and complicated about his third son. As for talent, Gu Ningxuan surpassed his two elder brothers, and he was the child on whom he had pinned great hopes. Had it not been for the incident that occurred later, things wouldn’t have come to this.
As a soldier, Gu Qidong was honest and unyielding, but as a father, he had his biases.
When that incident happened, Gu Qidong’s first thought was that someone was trying to harm his son. He refused to believe that the son he had meticulously raised would turn out to be such an ungrateful bastard! Subsequent examinations of the residue in the wine glass confirmed his suspicions. But perhaps he had taught him too well, as his foolish son admitted guilt even knowing it was a trap!
Intentional crime and accidental crime are two completely different concepts. The former surely lands one in prison, while the latter has significant room for maneuvering. Unfortunately, that son was foolish enough to cry over!
He said he would take responsibility for the incident, but this seemingly responsible stance was just a misinterpretation by Su Changdao, a petty person adept at manipulating clandestine paths. Coupled with the fact that it was a high-end social gathering with too many witnesses, Gu Ningxuan, being a clumsy-tongued fellow, couldn’t explain himself well, and somehow ended up being framed for "intentional crime"...
Gu Qidong expelled Gu Ningxuan from the Gu Family not only because this son stupidly fell for someone else’s trap and even more foolishly took on the blame that wasn’t his, but also because of an important reason—the son’s straightforward and tactless nature was too vexing! Gu Qidong could help the boy avoid this disaster, but what about the next time?
Although Gu Qidong drove Gu Ningxuan out of the family, he was not without hope that his son might learn to become more tactful through adversity. Alas, seeing the current situation, this son seemed to have made no progress... Gu Qidong felt he could despair and give up.
Gu Ningxuan was still unaware of his father’s complex psychological process; his focus was solely on the enemy, with the singular thought of eliminating them all before rushing to assist Su Jiameng. A few minutes later, the entire Abandoned Mine was chaotic and unrecognizable. The ground was littered with many Mecha fragments and remnants, the scene particularly desolate.
"Squadmates, head to a location six thousand meters at nine o’clock for a three-minute rest. Once done, proceed to twenty-three kilometers at four o’clock to support the third squad! Depart immediately!" After ensuring that he had completely seized the mineral map, Gu Ningxuan hurriedly issued orders before piloting his Mecha to fly in the exactly opposite direction, precisely where Augustus’s battalion base was, with the fewest blue dots and the most red dots!
Gu Ningxuan’s earlier outburst had already demonstrated his absolute strength, establishing his authority within this squad. Naturally, his orders received the highest execution! On the route to the base camp, Su Jiameng was still entangled with others in the skies.
On the surface, she was handling it lightly, the wear on Ghost Shadow was not significant, but the energy was only at seventy-nine percent. Although there was energy backup, she believed that Gu Ningyi on the ground certainly had more up his sleeve; with energy consumption being too significant, it would be disadvantageous for her.
