Chapter 435 – Class Leader For Forever

TL : GoldenLung

The colonel was about to refute but was stopped by Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi said in a low voice, “Alright, since that’s the case, I’ll let you guys see the process of their assessment. Unlike you guys, their assessment mission this time was to obtain six types of rare metals. You guys have already mined the four types of the inner zone’s metals and faced the threat of the whirlwind. Then, I’ll let you guys see how they obtained the other two types of rare metals.”

As he spoke, Xiao Qi walked to a wall at the side and raised his right hand. After adjusting it slightly, a beam of light shot out and turned into a projection, presenting the image on the wall.

The video started with Lan Xuanyu’s team entering the ring-shaped mountain range, and the speed of the broadcast increased. The camera’s angle was from Lan Xuanyu’s point of view.

Lan Xuanyu subconsciously looked at his uniform and immediately understood that a camera was hidden on his uniform.

As they moved forward through the ring-shaped mountain, they neutralized the threat of the storms using their ice shelter and faced the attacks of the Earth Spirits bravely.

Ding Zhuohan and the other students watched intently. As he watched, Ding Zhuohan thought in his heart. ‘I can do this too, I should be able to do it too. If there were so many people, I would be able to deal with them too. Earth Spirit? They resolved this crisis only because of that third year senior sister who communicated with them. It wasn’t Lan Xuanyu’s ability. They aren’t that much stronger than us.’

Finally, they arrived outside the ring-shaped mountain. When that earth-shattering metal storm arrived, everyone’s expression changed.

Even if it was through a screen, when the world turned pitch-black in an instant, the terrifying metal storm that came from the sky caused them to be dumbstruck.

The ice shelter was torn apart almost instantly. Lan Xuanyu activated his Spiritual Shield and the terrifying metal storm wreaked havoc outside, causing everyone to hold their breaths.

Heavens! Was this something a human could fight against? How long did it last ? In such a short period of time, the first Spiritual Shield actually shattered.

That was a mecha-class shield! Putting aside why Lan Xuanyu and his team had it, a shield of this level could only block for such a short period of time in that metal storm. How terrifying was that?

Everyone’s breathing became rapid. They were in disbelief. Tang Yuge dug a hole in the ground while from Lan Xuanyu’s point of view one could see his teammates enter one by one. The Spiritual Shields shattered one by one.

When the third Spiritual Shield was broken, Lan Xuanyu kicked his teammate into the cave. When he was about to reach his limits, he activated his rainbow-colored power and used the Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd to stabilize himself and protect Qian Lei, and everyone’s expressions became even more interesting.

At that moment, Lan Xuanyu was faced with a life-and-death crisis. He could have burrowed into the ground quickly with the help of his Dragon God Transformation and Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd, he had that possibility. But he still gave up this opportunity for his partners.

Ding Zhuohan was stunned. As the team leader, could he do it? He didn’t know. Yes, he didn’t know if he could do it without truly facing a life and death crisis. But the scene before him had made his blood boil and his eyes water.

Captain, this was what a real captain should do! A captain was not only a leader but would also use everything he had to protect his teammates at critical moments. He had to give his teammates a chance to survive and use his body as the last barrier against danger.

Lan Xuanyu did it. He used his actions to prove to everyone that he was a qualified captain. And at that time, he was already on the verge of collapse, unable to hold on and about to be devoured by that metal storm.

The scene changed and suddenly shifted to inside the cave.

Everyone saw Dong Qianqiu with tears streaming down her face. That’s right, this was the first time even for Lan Xuanyu to see her like this.

Dong Qianqiu’s eyes were red as she yelled in the cave, “No, we can’t do this. We can’t give up on him. I beg of you, please save him with me. We are a team, we must live and die together!” By the time she shouted the last few words, her voice had already become hoarse. And what Lan Xuanyu heard at that time was only the words ’live and die together ‘.

No one hesitated. Qian Lei, who was the last to enter the cave, was the first to jump out. The others followed suit and rushed out of the cave as fast as they could, using their strongest attacks to fight against the terrifying power of nature.

Those explosions and balls of light were so resplendent.

As the team leader, Lan Xuanyu protected his teammates at all costs. None of his teammates gave up on him at the last moment. Everyone knew that if they were not careful, everyone would have drowned in the metal storm. But at that time, no one acted cowardly, and everyone’s eyes were filled with determination and fanaticism. They only had one belief—to live or die together.

Tears flowed uncontrollably from the eyes of the first years. Almost everyone clenched their fists subconsciously.

What they saw was Lan Xuanyu and his teammates returning in a sorry state, but not what they had gone through.

Finally they managed to return to the underground cave together, successfully surviving by a thread.

It wasn’t known who was the first to cheer, but in the next moment, everyone, including Ding Zhuohan, couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration and relief. Their tears had already wetted their faces, but at this moment, no one bothered to wipe them. In their eyes, there was only one thing—fanaticism.

They were all youths, 12 or 13 years old, the age where they were the most passionate and impulsive. The scenes on the screen allowed them to truly see what a heroic figure was. They finally understood why Lan Xuanyu’s team had so many strong people but he was still the leader of the entire team. Even Tang Yuge’s participation did not change this situation. That was because he really had the charisma of a leader.

The scene ended there.

The cheers and praises gradually died down. Xiao Qi didn’t say anything and only looked at Ding Zhuohan.

Ding Zhuohan’s face was slightly flushed as he looked at Xiao Qi before turning his gaze towards Lan Xuanyu. He took a deep breath and walked towards Lan Xuanyu.

At this moment, Lan Xuanyu’s eyes were moist. In his mind, the scene of Dong Qianqiu crying and screaming hysterically was replaying. At that moment, his heart was struck hard. How could the word “touched” even describe what he was feeling ?

After the end of term exam, their entire team had changed. Yes, they were different! They had truly become a whole, without any distinction.

“Xuanyu, I’ve always remained unconvinced by you in the past. I always felt that I could do better than you.” Ding Zhuohan stood a meter away from Lan Xuanyu and his voice trembled slightly. “But after seeing what happened just now, I don’t know if I can do it or not. But I feel that I definitely can’t do better than you. You’re the best among the first years and the undisputed number one. I’m convinced now. In the future, no matter who is the class leader, I will recognize you as the only one. If your team lacks someone, count me in.”

Lan Xuanyu looked at him and didn’t say anything, only extending his right hand.

No one in Shrek ever pitied the weak. They only respected the strong, their beliefs, and their spirit!

Ding Zhuohan reached out to shake his hand, then took a step forward and hugged him with her other hand. “You’re the best. Thank you for teaching me how to be a captain.”

Lan Xuanyu patted him on the back. “Let’s work hard together. We’re the best first years ever.”

“We’re the best first years.” The other students couldn’t help but shout along with Lan Xuanyu.

Ding Zhuohan turned around and faced them. “I suggest that Xuanyu be our class leader from now on. With him as our class leader, I’ll feel at ease. Our class leader for forever.”

“Agree.” Qian Lei, who was standing next to Lan Xuanyu, was the first to shout. In an instant, there were as many standing people as there were clouds.

Xiao Qi stood at the side and smiled silently. As the teacher in charge, his main role was to guide. There was no doubt that Lan Xuanyu had used his own actions to gain the approval of all his classmates. At this moment, the first years had unprecedented cohesion. This was what he wanted to see the most!

With so many elites, how difficult was it for them to subduing to a single person? But the first years did it.

Tang Yuge was also silently watching this scene. She was once the class leader of the third years, but she had never received such recognition from all her classmates.

Lan Xuanyu, oh Lan Xuanyu, you’re really different!

Two hours later.

All the students had boarded the spaceship to return.

Standing outside the spaceship entrance, Xiao Qi bid farewell to the colonel.

“Teacher Xiao, I have a question for you.” The colonel shook Xiao Qi’s hand.

“What question?” Xiao Qi asked doubtfully.

“At that time, you could have asked Lan Xuanyu and the rest to directly hand over their gains like everyone else. With their gains, no one would have doubted their ability. Why did you release the video instead ?”

Xiao Qi smiled. “That’s because I don’t want my other students’ motivation heavily crushed by the comparison. A moderate amount of stimulation is best for them to advance in their cultivation, but if it is too much, it won’t be a good thing.”

The colonel said with deep meaning in his eyes, “You could have said nothing then, but you insisted that Lan Xuanyu’s team alone didn’t hand in their gains with the others. Was it intentional?” contemporary romance

“Take a guess.” Xiao Qi laughed and let go of his hand before he turned and boarded the spaceship.
