They watched as the gleaming sword strike came from an angle they could never have imagined!
...
This is the first time for all of this!
Then what are they?!
Have you ever managed to touch the scraps of a mecha with an F-level mental strength?
With his final move, the quantum sword flew out of his hand, pointing towards the sky.
Gu Tang certainly didn't intend to cause a major upheaval in the capital.
After the quantum sword left his hand, he severed his connection with it, allowing it to gradually disappear into the air.
But the dazzling brilliance left by that sword strike remained vivid in the memories of the Japanese soldiers for many years to come, who were still mesmerized by it.
Sitting in the Star Rift, Gu Tang slowly exhaled.
He finally... succeeded!
Qin Junche arrived at the training ground at some point.
He slowly walked to Han Xuan's side and looked up with him at the star-shaped rift that he knew all too well.
“He’s very strong!” Han Xuan said.
"Mm," Qin Junche replied.
His expression was somewhat complicated, as if it were excitement, love, and something else that Han Xuan couldn't understand.
"I just asked him how exactly his mental strength was improved," Han Xuan said slowly. "He said it was by using the things that caused him the most pain to hone his spirit little by little. Then, he used this sharp blade to slowly rebuild his mental strength."
Qin Junche's body seemed to tremble.
Han Xuan turned around and looked coldly at Qin Junche.
His gaze was sharp as a knife.
In that instant, the marshal of one of the six major legions of the capital, the marshal of the Blazing Sun Army who could strike fear into the hearts of enemies on the northern border of the empire when piloting the Blazing Flame, finally revealed his true colors.
“If you cause him this much pain, I will…” He took a step closer and said firmly in Qin Junche’s ear, “Take him away!”
Qin Junche raised his eyes and looked at Xing Lie, which had stopped moving.
His eyes shone brightly.
“It wasn’t me,” he said softly.
But even the smile on his lips turned bitter: "But I'm probably a jerk... Sometimes, I wish I were myself."
Han Xuan naturally couldn't understand the nonsensical sentence.
But they didn't continue the topic; Gu Tang had already jumped down from the cockpit elevator.
He put away the Star Rift and strode towards Qin Junche.
While stretching his arms and legs, Gu Tang said to Qin Junche, "It seems you're adapting quite well. At least for now, things are stable."
He said, "Then when can I have my mech?"
He looked at Han Xuan and then at Qin Junche with a strange expression.
"What's wrong with you two?" Gu Tang asked. "You look so grief-stricken and unhappy, like you've been robbed? What's going on..."
He blinked: "Jealous of me?"
He asked, somewhat incredulously.

Chapter 42 The Marshal Refuses to Divorce (16)
Han Xuan's expression remained unchanged, but Qin Junche's face darkened considerably.
Gu Tang glanced at them thoughtfully.
He then quickly put the matter out of his mind.
He looked down at his long, slender fingers.
The original Gu Tang in this world only ever touched paper and pen; he was a botany professor with a strong scholarly air.
His fingers had virtually no calluses.
His skin used to be very fair, and wherever he went, people would think he was an ordinary scholar.
But now, these hands have gradually been tinged with a faint bronze color from the rigorous, hellish training they undergo every day.
Next, he will seize the strongest fighting force in the capital and completely destroy the entity that makes his son unhappy.
Gu Tang narrowed his eyes. This feeling was truly wonderful!
The training ground remained completely silent.
Those mecha warriors of the blazing Japanese army were once the pride of heaven, surrounded by admirers.
At this moment, they stared blankly at Gu Tang's tall and straight back with a look of utter disbelief and shock.
If bullet comments could be visualized, people would definitely see many bullet comments floating above their heads right now—
"This is my first time piloting a mech?! My first time?! It feels like all my previous mech piloting experience was just playing video games!"
"I don't believe it! I refuse to believe it!! What happened to my values?!"
"My mom asked me why I was kneeling while listening to the lecture. I think I'll never be able to stand up and attend Instructor Gu Tang's class again?!"
"...I don't know why, but I suddenly want to know, if Instructor Gu Tang and the Marshal were to fight, who would win?"
"Want to know +1"
"Want to know +2"
...
Gu Tang didn't think that much about it.
Although the process of improving his mental strength was very difficult, the result was better than he had imagined.
What pleased him most was that once he understood one method, he understood all methods.
Although this was the first time he had used his mental power to control a mecha, the feeling was not much different from using spiritual power to control a magical artifact.
So he adapted very well.
Gu Tang's gaze swept back and forth between Qin Junche's dark face and Han Xuan's expressionless face.
He thought for a moment, then suddenly became very interested and challenged him: "Marshal Han Xuan, how about... we have a fight?"
Qin Junche: "..."
Han Xuan: "..."
The mech warriors of the Blazing Sun Legion: "..."
Instructor Gu Tang is really bold!
But I really want to see it, what should I do?!
"What are you fighting for?" Qin Junche's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
He grabbed Gu Tang's arm menacingly: "Are you really courting death?"
He paused, then, seeing Gu Tang's furrowed brows, quickly added, "Qin Xiao is still waiting for you at home."
Gu Tang nodded.
His son must be very worried about Qin Xiao, having not seen him for two days and two nights.
He returned the mecha space bracelet to Qin Junche and said goodbye to Han Xuan: "Thank you, Marshal Han Xuan. See you the day after tomorrow."
Although he had been promoted to S-rank, he still wanted to fulfill his promise.
"Goodbye." Han Xuan said in a deep voice, "Once you get your mecha, if you need someone to help you get used to operating it, you can contact me anytime."
"Thank you." Gu Tang smiled slightly at him.
The black hovercar, carrying Gu Tang and Qin Junche, drove smoothly toward the Qin family villa.
In fact, the day after Gu Tang joined the Lie Ri Army as an instructor, Han Xuan transferred the manor under his name to Gu Tang's name.
However, Gu Tang has no intention of moving there yet.
He understood the principle that a tall tree catches the wind better than anyone else.
Gu Tang didn't care in the past because he was powerful enough.
Before his mental strength was enhanced, Gu Tang had to be more careful.
Gu Tang still lives with Qin Xiao in the same villa they started in.
He taught in the Lie Ri Army on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, and in the Xing Chen Army on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
I saw Qin Junche much more often than before.
At this moment, Qin Junche sat next to Gu Tang, his face showing a look of wanting to say something but holding back.
"What do you want to say?" Gu Tang asked proactively.
"Qin Xiao must be very happy," Qin Junche said. "He's been especially worried about you these past few days."
"Um."
“Last night he was crying and wanted to come to you, refusing to sleep no matter what I said, and I ended up beating him up,” Qin Junche added.
