At this moment, Li Qifeng was completely baffled, his mind filled with countless questions.

What do you mean by "Aren't you afraid of being targeted by our group for doing this?"

What exactly does this sentence mean? Li Qifeng was completely baffled and couldn't help but curse inwardly.

"No way, is Ning Dan out of her mind?"

Just as Li Qifeng was inwardly grumbling, Li Baoshan, standing beside him, suddenly turned extremely pale. Li Baoshan's brows furrowed tightly, and his sharp eyes seemed to penetrate the surrounding crowd, detecting subtle changes that others could not perceive.

A strong sense of unease welled up in Li Baoshan's heart. He felt that the atmosphere around him was strange, and a sense of conspiracy was faintly present in the air. This feeling made him very uncomfortable, as if countless eyes were secretly watching them.

He immediately realized that this was likely a carefully planned trap, and they were falling into it step by step. Without time to think, Li Baoshan decisively decided that he had to leave this place as soon as possible to avoid further losses.

However, Li Qifeng was completely unaware of the approaching danger. His attention was entirely consumed by his anger, and all he wanted to do was turn on the public address system's microphone, hurl a torrent of abuse at Ning Dan, and demand to know what she was up to.

Seeing this, Li Baoshan quickly lowered his voice and said to Li Qifeng.

"Listen to me, let's go! This is a trap!"

Although his voice wasn't loud, the urgency and seriousness in it made Li Qifeng pause in surprise.

Li Qifeng looked at Li Baoshan with a suspicious expression, clearly not understanding the deeper meaning behind his words. He didn't understand why Li Baoshan would suddenly say it was a setup, let alone what that setup actually meant.

However, just as Li Qifeng was about to respond to Li Baoshan, another voice suddenly came from the public broadcast channel.

"Ning Dan? What are you doing here?"

Li Qifeng recognized the voice all too well; it belonged to Ye Ye.

Because of their tacit understanding and prior communication, the two reached a consensus instantly.

"Ye Ye? You're here too?"

"That's great! Let me tell you, this is absolutely outrageous! You know what? That Li Qifeng actually destroyed all the starships and bases of our target for this assessment—the Evil Lion Star Pirates! This is truly unexpected! Luckily, I reacted quickly and found a star pirate base completely off the academy's coordinates, otherwise, I probably wouldn't have been able to complete even the first stage of the assessment!"

"what?!"

Upon hearing this news, Ye Ye exclaimed in surprise.

"It was him?! I was wondering why my coordinates were in such a mess, even that asteroid was blown to pieces! So it was Li Qifeng's doing!"

And what about Li Qifeng at this moment? He was completely bewildered, staring blankly at the virtual screen in front of him, his mind filled with questions. What were they saying? Why couldn't he understand a single word?

"What the hell did I do? This was clearly Ye Ye's doing!"

Li Qifeng grew increasingly angry, and finally, he couldn't take it anymore. So he turned on the public address channel's microphone and unleashed a torrent of abuse at everyone.

"Listen up, all of you! This has absolutely nothing to do with me! It was clearly Ye Ye who did it, so why are you trying to pin the blame on me!"

"You two bitches framed me right in front of me??? Especially Ning Dan! You filthy whore, I..."

Before Li Qifeng could finish speaking, the alarm system on the starship suddenly sounded again, the sharp alarm echoing in the cabin, making everyone feel uneasy.

This alarm was different from the previous ones; it wasn't a lock-on warning from the Azure Sky, but rather from Ning Dan. Li Qifeng stared in astonishment at the screen, which showed Ning Dan's fire control radar tightly locked onto his starship.

"You'd better shut your stinking mouth!"

Ning Dan's voice came through the communication channel, filled with undisguised anger.

"I don't care about any assessments or anything like that. I can just not participate! But I will absolutely not tolerate you talking to me like that!"

Li Qifeng was stunned. He hadn't expected Ning Dan to respond so fiercely. He had only said a few words; how could he have provoked Ning Dan to such an extreme reaction, even to the point of threatening him?

Has Ning Dan really gone mad? Li Qifeng couldn't help but wonder. Doesn't she know the consequences of her actions?

It's important to understand that this assessment isn't just a competition between individuals; it's also a covert struggle between various families and powerful factions. If Ning Dan were to be disqualified from the assessment in the first stage for attacking a fellow student, wouldn't she be afraid that the Ning family would cause her trouble?

However, how could Li Qifeng have guessed that Ning Dan was actually fearless at this moment?

Although Ye Ye's true identity remains a mystery, Ning Dan clearly trusts and relies on him to a considerable degree. If, because of Ye Ye, Ning Dan were to clash fiercely with Li Qifeng in the first assessment phase, or even come to blows, she would undoubtedly go all out without hesitation. She would use all her resources and means without hesitation, even if she couldn't kill Li Qifeng, she would at least completely destroy his starship, preventing him from participating in the second phase of the assessment.

In this scenario, Ning Dan's family might not only refrain from punishing her, but would also bestow upon her substantial rewards and benefits. After all, successfully preventing Ye Ye's opponent from advancing in this fiercely competitive assessment would undoubtedly be a highly advantageous outcome for the family.

At this moment, a barely perceptible smile appeared on Ning Dan and Ye Ye's faces, a smile that revealed their impending conspiracy. Clearly, they had already planned how to frame Li Qifeng and make him bear the responsibility for this conflict.

Ning Dan's next words plunged Li Qifeng's mood into despair, confirming that Li Baoshan's earlier concerns were not unfounded.

"When I arrived, I had already placed miniature coordinates in most of the trajectory areas. I have just distributed the coordinates here to those miniature coordinates. I believe that the students who have found those coordinates should be able to get here soon."

The meaning of this statement couldn't be clearer: Ning Dan had already laid a trap on the way here. Once the other students discovered these miniature coordinates, they would rush over quickly. Li Qifeng would then be surrounded and left isolated and helpless. No matter how he explained, he would be unable to escape being framed.

"I want everyone to know who's behind this!"

Ning Dan's words instantly changed Li Qifeng's expression.

"You're framing me! It was clearly Ye Ye who did it!"

Li Qifeng's voice echoed across the star field, tinged with anger and resentment. He stared wide-eyed at Ye Ye, as if trying to see right through him.

However, Li Qifeng appeared unusually calm. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and spoke again.

"Do you have any evidence?! Besides, you don't really think this star system isn't being monitored by the academy, do you?"

His voice was unhurried, yet it exuded an undeniable confidence.

"The academy? The academy's surveillance is a necessary consideration for the safety of its students. Besides, evidence? I have it!"

Ye Ye's first words were like a thunderclap, exploding in Lu Yue's ears and almost making him burst out laughing. He inwardly groaned; Ye Ye was truly unpredictable! Lu Yue was filled with anxiety, fearing that Ye Ye might say something that Li Qifeng could use against him. If Li Qifeng recorded these words, the consequences would be unimaginable!

"You're talking nonsense! Ye Ye! Don't you dare slander me!"

Li Qifeng's face instantly turned extremely gloomy. He never expected Ye Ye to be so calm and composed, and even dare to contradict him so openly. Li Qifeng was filled with regret. He really hated himself for provoking Ye Ye, this troublesome guy, and for sticking to him like a leech.

However, despite his inner turmoil, Li Qifeng didn't believe Ye Ye had any substantial evidence to prove his innocence. After all, he knew perfectly well that he hadn't done it. Therefore, Li Qifeng firmly believed that Ye Ye was merely bluffing. He just wanted to escape this dangerous situation as quickly as possible, because he was genuinely worried that he might impulsively take over the fire control system and unhesitatingly press the fire button on their starship.

"See for yourself."

Ye Ye said calmly, as if he had expected what was about to happen.

Upon hearing this, Li Qifeng felt a surge of curiosity. He didn't know what Ye Ye wanted to show him, but he still clicked on the video link that had no notes or cover image.

The moment the video started, a window popped up in front of Li Qifeng and Ning Dan simultaneously. The screen was somewhat dark, as if it had been filmed in a poorly lit place. However, due to the indeed dark surroundings, the image was not clear; only a small dot of light could be seen in the center of the screen.

Li Qifeng frowned, trying hard to see what the light spot was. Just as he was about to move closer, the camera in the video suddenly zoomed in, and the small light spot gradually magnified.

As the camera zoomed in, the small dot of light became clearer and clearer. Finally, a massive starship appeared prominently in the center of the video, occupying most of the space.

The sheer size of this starship is breathtaking. Its hull features sleek lines, its outer shell shimmering with a faint light, as if inlaid with countless stars. The starship's details are displayed vividly in such a large frame; every line and detail on its hull is clearly visible.

The design of this starship is simply breathtaking! Its shape resembles a silver eagle spreading its wings, its smooth lines and metallic sheen creating a stunning effect, as if the starship were meticulously crafted from liquid silver. The bow is sharp like an eagle's beak, and on each side are rows of blue energy cannons, which, like the eyes of an eagle, emit a chilling light.

The ship's hull was covered in mysterious runes, which flickered faintly in the dim light, adding an air of mystery and solemnity to the entire starship. The propellers at the stern were shaped like flames, currently spewing out pale purple plasma flames, which resembled the burning tail feathers of an eagle, dazzling and cool, captivating all who beheld them.

When Li Qifeng first saw the starship, his eyes widened instantly, filled with shock and confusion. Could this be his starship—the Silver Eagle? He knew his starship intimately; how could he possibly mistake it? Yet, the scene before him was unbelievable. What was going on? Was this fabricated evidence deliberately edited and pieced together by Ye Ye?

Just as Li Qifeng was about to speak and question everything, something unexpected happened. The Silver Eagle slowly began to turn around, its movements elegant and steady, like a real eagle circling in the sky. Finally, the Silver Eagle completely changed direction, pointing its sharp bow out of the camera's view.

As the camera slowly panned, his heart pounded faster and faster. Finally, when the camera was fully focused on that direction, he could see clearly that the place was actually an asteroid! This asteroid was one of the Lion's bases!

Just as he was astonished, several streaks of light, like lightning, suddenly streaked towards them from afar. Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be several missiles! These missiles, like meteors, hurtled straight toward the asteroid in front of them at an astonishing speed.

The missiles were moving so fast that their trajectories were almost impossible to track with the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, they vanished into thin air, completely disappearing from sight.

However, in the next instant, a dazzling burst of fire erupted across the asteroid's surface. This fire was as brilliant and spectacular as fireworks, yet it possessed unparalleled destructive power. In the blink of an eye, the asteroid was engulfed by the violent explosion, its entire surface covered in flames.

In just a dozen seconds, the asteroid was already struggling to withstand the immense destructive power of the explosion. It began to disintegrate, its once intact surface cracking with countless fissures, as if it might shatter completely at any moment.

Upon seeing this, Li Qifeng's face turned pale. His eyes widened, staring at the scene before him in disbelief, a surge of indescribable fear and shock welling up inside him.

I've been set up.

Ye Ye did it on purpose!

Now he's really in deep trouble, like mud has fallen on his pants.

Just as Li Qifeng was watching the video, the surrounding starry sky suddenly became lively. One starship after another streaked across the dark universe like shooting stars, appearing in his field of vision. These starships belonged to the other students, who had received the coordinates sent by Ning Dan and Ye Yeguang and were rushing to this place.

Li Qifeng's mood grew increasingly heavy. He stared at the approaching starships, their numbers growing until they completely surrounded his. He clenched his fists, his palms slightly sweaty, a strong sense of unease rising within him.

Bad thing!
