Ordinary observers in fast time travel

"How is it? Did the little girl get hurt today?" Marshal Cheng walked into the monitoring room of the First Military Academy.

Principal Han Zhao, who had been on tenterhooks all day, couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw the people who came. It was these few people who supported Slana's participation in this assessment.

How dare you ask the little girl if she's hurt? You don't know the cost of living until you're in charge, and you don't know how difficult things are until you're in charge.

"Marshal Cheng is a rare guest indeed!" Han Zhao said with a forced smile. "Why are you worried about the little girl's safety now?"

Why didn't you go earlier?
"Old Han, what are you saying? This little girl is a treasure of my Aoxing Empire. As the marshal of the empire, isn't it only natural for me to care about her?" Marshal Cheng chuckled. Oh well, what could they do? The little girl wanted to participate; could they refuse?
The young girl herself said that she doesn't know when her identity will be exposed, and once her identity is exposed, she will no longer have the opportunity to participate in this kind of assessment. She has to participate.

What else can they do? They can only put in more effort, send more troops, and surround the entire desolate planet like an iron barrel.

After finally getting everything arranged, he finally had time to check on the little girl. "Come on, let me see where the little girl is?"

In front of them were hundreds of screens, and the students participating in the assessment were from grades one to six, totaling more than 30,000 people.

Thirty thousand people is a lot, but on a planet, that's a pitifully small number.

"Marshal, which candidate would you like to observe?" the examiner asked. He was very curious about who this little girl the marshal and their principal had mentioned was, and what her background was.
Marshal Cheng remained silent, but Han Zhao beside him said, "Screen number 66."

"Retrieve image number 66!" Marshal Cheng said hurriedly.

"Okay." Number 66? The examiner quickly operated the smart device, and soon a large screen occupied the space in front of him. In the picture, ten people were lying in different parts of the cave, and a raging fire was burning in the center of the cave.

"Huh, is she asleep?" Marshal Cheng was a little disappointed that he couldn't find the person he wanted to see right away. The next moment, he frowned, "Her vigilance is too poor!"

Han Zhao nodded, "Indeed, but first-graders are like this. After this assessment, they will learn from their mistakes and gain experience."

"They're all first graders? Why didn't you put the little girl in the higher grades?" Marshal Cheng was acting like a doting parent.

Han Zhao was speechless. "Listen to what you're saying! You want me to put that little girl in the senior class! Have you forgotten the rules of the First Military Academy, or have you lost your mind?"

Principal Han's mouth was like it was coated with poison; he seized every opportunity to fire at Marshal Cheng, "Or do you think it's safe to put the little girl in the senior class? Do you think those senior students will genuinely accept a first-year girl who was forced into the class?"

Marshal Cheng was speechless. Well, he was just too worried about the little girl and spoke without thinking. "Ahem, I was just saying. We definitely have to follow the rules."

"However, why doesn't your First Military Academy even provide a sleeping bag? It's so uncomfortable to sleep on the ground like this, and you're more likely to get sick and catch a cold!" Marshal Cheng grumbled.

Principal Han had already given up on paying attention to this brainless Imperial Marshal. But then again, the little girl and her friends were indeed having a run of bad luck.

Not only were they stranded in a desolate location, but the star beasts they killed in a day were all of the lowest level, and the four supply packs they obtained only contained basic living supplies. They also had a damaged mech that had no power.

"Old Han, this won't do. You need to quickly send some supplies to the little girl, at least a tent, otherwise she'll definitely get sick tomorrow." Marshal Cheng became more and more worried as he spoke.

Han Zhao shook his head, "Outsiders are not allowed to inspect the assessment!"

"It's just a tent, not a mecha!" Marshal Cheng exclaimed, his eyes wide.

Principal Han remained unmoved.

Suddenly, an alarm sounded in the monitoring room.

"Beep—A large number of insectoid beasts have been detected approaching the desolate planet. Space combat units, please prepare for attack immediately!"

Marshal Cheng's expression changed drastically. "Insect beasts! How could insect beasts appear!"

To ensure the smooth conduct of this assessment, he had the army sweep through the entire star field spanning tens of thousands of kilometers to confirm the absence of insect beasts and void beasts before sending the First Military Academy here for training.

Han Zhao's expression was also solemn. "Marshal Cheng, you must eliminate the insectoid beasts in space. We absolutely cannot allow them to enter the planet." The students are currently scattered throughout the planet, and it is impossible for them to evacuate immediately. Moreover, the situation has not yet reached its most critical point, so they cannot evacuate.

Marshal Cheng nodded, "Alright, the little girl's safety is in your hands!"

"Don't worry, I will keep an eye on her!" Han Zhao solemnly assured him.

Marshal Cheng turned and left, and Han Zhao immediately instructed the assessment teachers to ensure the safety of each student and to count the number of flying cars.

"Boom!" The energy cannon burst into brilliant fireworks in space, and then one mech after another rushed into the swarm of insect beasts. Cold light flashed and sharp blades flew, tearing the insect beasts to shreds one after another.

Soon, countless insect and beast corpses floated in space.

But insects and beasts kept flying in from all directions.

Where did these insectoid beasts come from?

"Could a new wormhole have appeared nearby? Or is there a worm-like creature here capable of creating wormholes?"

Everyone became serious upon hearing this.

The insectoid beasts that can create empty wormholes are their most troublesome insectoid beasts, because you never know if a wormhole will suddenly appear next to you.

Major General Qin Yu made a decisive decision: "Have the spatial talent masters keep a close eye on the surrounding spatial fluctuations, and seal off the space of the desolate planet if necessary."

"Yes!" There are quite a few talent masters in the army, and even the rare spatial talent masters number more than a dozen.

The battle continued. The warriors soon discovered that the insectoid beasts were becoming increasingly powerful; beasts that could previously be killed with a single strike or cannon shot now required more than a dozen attacks.

Moreover, the spiritual pollution they carry is becoming increasingly strong.

"Warning! Your mental energy pollution level is continuously rising, reaching 68%, 70%, 71%... Please immediately move away from the source of pollution!"

"alarm!……"

The soldier in the midst of battle had beads of sweat on his forehead, and the veins on his neck and arms were bulging. He gritted his teeth, took out a vial of medicine from his pocket, and tilted his head back to gulp it down.

"The pollution level is decreasing by 73%, 72%, ... 65%." Finally, the pollution level stopped at 65%. The warrior's eyes were calm as he controlled the mech's longsword and slashed heavily at the insectoid beast's head.

Sparks flew everywhere. Sensing that the longsword was encountering resistance, he gritted his teeth and increased the output of his mental energy.

Snap~ Boom~
The insectoid beast was cleaved in two, its crystalline energy core exposed in space.

The mech swung out a net to scoop up the crystal core and rushed toward another insectoid beast, completely ignoring the rising mental pollution.

The battle grew increasingly fierce, but no one showed any sign of backing down.

Meanwhile, on a massive celestial body tens of thousands of kilometers away from the battlefield, dozens of mechs were parked.

"Boss, why don't we take this opportunity to enter the desolate planet?"

"No, don't be fooled by the fact that the Imperial Army seems to be struggling against the insectoid beasts. In fact, most of the Imperial Army is hiding in the shadows, waiting for us to walk into their trap."

"Given the number of Imperial troops we just surveyed, it's highly unlikely they can break through the encirclement and enter the desolate planet." The leader's lips twitched. For a mere assessment, they actually dispatched so many troops. As expected of the top military academy?
"Then how do we get in?"

"Just wait." (End of Chapter)
