After taking a nap to recover, Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu went to the arena.
Everyone is in good shape, and their expressions are full of confidence.
“Li Shuo and the others must have studied our fighting methods, plus he is very talented in planning, and good at using unexpected tricks, so I may change our tactics at any time in this match. You must all listen to my command. Even if it’s to give away your head, you must do so.”
Qiu Zhenyang gave everyone a final warning, Li Shuo is not an ordinary opponent. He made so many arrangements on the battlefield that even Qiu Zhenyang was astonished to see them. He lurks like a venomous snake, and once the opponent relaxes their attention, he will immediately lunge and devour them.
Everyone knew the importance of this game and nodded.
They can already see the top of the mountain, and will never allow themselves to be a stumbling block for the entire team!
“Okay, that’s it, fuel up, everyone!”
Qiu Zhenyang stretched out his hands with his palms down, everyone raised their hands and folded them, and then pressed down heavily:
“We must win!”
The match didn’t start off too intensely, but the audience was still nervous. The back and forth between Qiu Zhenyang and Li Shuo is very exciting. Both teams are constantly testing each other, and it’s not easy to find a weak spot, but once they did, heavy damage would rain down on the opposing side!
Halfway through the game, both sides lost a scout and a commando. Qiu Zhenyang took a deep breath, opened the map, scanned all the routes everyone had explored, and carefully checked where else they could set up ambushes.
As his adjutant, Ling Mu had been protecting Qiu Zhenyang by his side, and when he stopped, he knew he was looking at the map. The marshals of the two teams are the most critical figures, because the marshal can see the map scouted by the team. It is the role who knows the situation on the field best, and also the person that everyone gives the highest priority to protect.
“Xi Jun, go and cooperate with Chenyu, the magnetic field in the canyon in front of him is abnormal. There should be an assault soldier there. Remember to be careful, if the opponent has a trap, immediately retreat. Qin Tian, you retreat first. Go to the mothership’s three o’clock position and support them at any time.” Qiu Zhenyang continued to issue orders, and at the same time carefully paid attention to the real-time pictures sent by the scouts, looking for the whereabouts of the enemy.
This was probably Qiu Zhenyang’s most cautious match since the competition, and the audience were all on the edges of their seat, for fear of missing something.
And at the moment when everyone held their breath, the war was about to break out!
Yuan Chenyu really encountered the opposite assault soldiers, and there were only three of them. Even if Xi Jun arrived in time, the situation of three against two is not optimistic. Although the two retreated in time, the other party kept attacking, cutting off their retreat, making it impossible for people to move even an inch!
“Damn, these people are really deceiving! There were actually three people hiding here!” Yuan Chenyu gritted his teeth in hatred when he recalled being ambushed to death by his opponent last time. But he suppressed his anger, and continued to obey Qiu Zhenyang’s command. No matter how embarrassed he was, the game is the most important now, and there can be no mistakes!
Seeing that the two were about to be cornered, Qin Tian rushed over in time, followed by Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu!
“Okay, Qiu Zhenyang!” Yuan Chenyu immediately became excited. He was nearly beaten to death just now, when he did a 180, firing on all cylinders, counter-attacking the three assault soldiers who were chasing him just now!
Seeing this scene, the three assault soldiers were stunned. Why are there so many people? And why is their marshal here?
Then the position of the opposing team’s marshal mentioned by their captain just now… false?
“Good job, Cheng Yuan.” Qiu Zhenyang smiled in the mecha, and instructed everyone to fight together.
Cheng Yuan is one of the scouts on their team. Apart from stealth skills, scouts also have an imitation skill. This skill can only be used once, so many will not use it unless it’s a very critical time.
He sensed a fluctuation before and passed the news to Qiu Zhenyang, who immediately guessed it might be Li Shuo. After all, both sides have lost two players. Guards will remain near the mothership, meaning that Yuan Chenyu’s side is most likely to be ambushed, so Qiu Zhenyang asked Cheng Yuan to disguise as Ling Mu’s mecha to attract the other side’s attention.
In the game, the adjutant rarely separates from the marshal, so Li Shuo took it for granted that Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu were together. No one would’ve thought to use a disguised scout at such a point, so he really thought it was Ling Mu.
It’s a pity that Qiu Zhenyang used this one and only disguise to bet, and he was right! The two of them were not far from Yuan Chenyu. After giving out the order, he rushed over with Ling Mu, just in time to counterattack!
Five vs. three, the result is already obvious. Even if they resisted stubbornly, they didn’t last long and Interstellar Academy quickly harvested 3 heads.
Only the marshal, adjutant, a scout, and two guards are left on Li Shuo’s side.
Li Shuo clenched his fists and smashed the control panel hard, swearing loudly.
The game ended twenty minutes later with Interstellar Academy winning!
“You guys are really good!” After coming out of the game cabin, Zhuo Hang and Guan Tang rushed forward smiling and gave everyone a hug.
Everyone’s faces were filled with joy and excitement. They finally won the championship!
Seeing the bright smile on Ling Mu’s face, Qiu Zhenyang also excited and happy. He walked over and clenched Ling Mu’s hand, and raised his head at him: “Let’s go, let’s go get the trophy together?”
The principal on the stage was already calling for them to go up. The trophy was already carried to the stage, and he was just waiting for them to come up.
In the process of rushing to the stage excitedly, Qiu Zhenyang and the others passed by Li Shuo’s team, and hooked his lips to him with a middle finger. “This is the gesture you left before, right? Give it back to you. Remember next time, compete fairly. Don’t play such tricks, the way of heaven is fair, and strength is the best proof!”
Yuan Chenyu and others all raised their middle fingers, full of sarcasm.
Li Shuo’s face was ugly, but he didn’t say anything, turned around and left with his teammates.
“Ah, that idiot! Leave him alone, let’s go up to accept the award, woohoo!” Yuan Chenyu ran up the stage excitedly. The principal glared at him several times before he managed to suppress his overly excited mood, and wait for everyone to come up.
As the captain of the team, Qiu Zhenyang naturally stood in the middle.
The reporters and media were taking continuous photos and recordings of this glorious moment.
“This school league took about half a month, and it finally came to an end. I am very grateful to all the students who came to participate, and I am also very grateful to all the friends who came to watch the game, so that this competition could finish so perfectly!” He was naturally even happier that their team won the championship.
“Then let’s present the trophy to the champion team this time!” The principal said and applauded first, then took the 20-centimeter-long mecha-shaped trophy and presented it to Qiu Zhenyang.
“Thank you, principal.” Qiu Zhenyang smiled and thanked him. Seeing the trophy in his hand, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.
No way, who made this trophy a product of the First Consortium.
After receiving the trophy, Qiu Zhenyang immediately passed it to Ling Mu, who was stunned for a moment, then raised his lips with a smile, and then passed it to the person on the other side.
This trophy belongs to all of them, and everyone should feel its weight!
As the vice president and manager, Zhuo Hang and Guan Tang were also on stage. When the trophy arrived, Guan Tang was crying and laughing, blurting a lot of thanks to everyone, and then named everyone in the team one by one, saying that they were all great, making everyone smile and laugh.
In the end, the trophy was returned to Qiu Zhenyang. He said a word into the microphone: “We have already started, and we hope that the e-sports competition will become a regular competition in the near future! Let’s work together!”
The audience burst into applause. Barrages also exploded in the livestream.
Everyone cheered!
But at this moment, Qiu Zhenyang suddenly handed the trophy to Zhuo Hang, took out something from his pocket, and knelt in front of Ling Mu in public.
Startled, Ling Mu hurriedly bent down to help him up, but Qiu Zhenyang grabbed his wrist.
“Ling Mu.” Qiu Zhenyang looked at him with a serious face.
The unusual situation stunned Ling Mu who stopped his movements. Looking at Qiu Zhenyang’s posture, he vaguely guessed what he might be doing, and gradually recalled in his mind what he had asked when he was confused and tired.
It was about a marriage proposal.
As his heart tightened, Ling Mu felt his whole body stiffen, and his ears slowly turned red.
Their teammates and the audience also became aware of something, and quieted down and looked excitedly at the kneeling and standing pair on stage.
“I asked you before, what kind of proposal you like,” Qiu Zhenyang was a little shy, his cheeks flushed. “Because you didn’t give an exact response, so I thought, this moment is the right time to propose to you.”
He opened the small blue box in his hand to reveal an exquisite diamond ring inside. Although the style was simple, it could make people fall in love at a glance.
“Actually, we’ve actually been in contact for less than a semester. However, the things we’ve experienced are probably more unforgettable than most couples.” Qiu Zhenyang said a little provocatively. His eyes, which seemed to hold the entire galaxy, were filled to the brim with Ling Mu alone.
He took the ring out of the small box: “I want to be with you for the rest of my life, sharing happiness and hope, sorrow and disappointment. I will care and love you for a lifetime, hold you in my hand and cherish you. You’re the person I love the most in my life.”
Ling Mu bit his lip, and his eyes were a little red.
“So, will you marry me?”
He proposed!
