Chapter 35 The Marshal Refuses to Divorce (9)
Aside from occasionally acting coquettishly in front of her father, Qin Xiao rarely showed a hint of shyness on her face.
Although he still tried his best to keep a calm face in front of Han Fengting, pretending that he didn't want to talk to him.
But she couldn't help but purse her lips, wanting nothing more than to rush over and hug Gu Tang.
"Thank you, Uncle Gu." Han Fengting's eyes lit up immediately.
He bowed obediently to Gu Tang and said softly, "When will you be free, Uncle Gu?"
Han Fengting tilted his head back, his longing and anticipation written all over his big, round eyes: "How about the day after tomorrow? School will have a day off the day after tomorrow."
He looked at Han Xuan as he spoke, and added, "Uncle has been at home a lot lately and has plenty of free time."
Gu Tang hesitated for a moment: "The day after tomorrow..."
He should be fine.
Gu Tang was about to agree.
Han Xuan spoke first: "Feng Ting."
He stopped his nephew in a deep voice: "You and Qin Xiao go play over there first. Uncle has something to say to Mr. Gu."
"Oh," Han Fengting replied obediently.
He casually reached out and took Qin Xiao's arm: "Qin Xiao, shall we go play over there?"
As Han Fengting spoke, he turned to look behind them.
There, the tall, black standard mechs stood proudly.
The mech will not move without someone controlling it.
But Han Fengting is too young.
Looking up at it like that, he felt that the mecha was too tall for him, as if it would rush towards him at any moment.
Han Fengting couldn't help but shrink his neck.
But he really wanted to go up and take a look.
Qin Xiao's dad was really amazing just now, and his fight was really good to watch!
"Qin Xiao, shall we go take a look?" Han Fengting grabbed Qin Xiao's arm and shook it, urging him on.
With Qin Xiao by his side, he definitely won't be scared.
Qin Xiao: "..."
"Go ahead." Gu Tang almost laughed again.
It has been said that everything in the world has its nemesis.
For every one thing, there is always something else to come and subdue it.
Unexpectedly, Qin Xiao, who is smart but always reluctant to interact with people, was actually won over by Han Fengting, a soft and sweet little dumpling.
"Take good care of Fengting." Gu Tang waved to his son.
Qin Xiao pursed her lips even tighter, her delicate jawline clenching.
A rare hint of shyness appeared on his small face.
But he still didn't refuse Han Fengting, and instead let the other man pull him toward the tall, black mecha.
Gu Tang watched the two children walk to the bottom of the mecha.
He watched thoughtfully as Han Fengting continued to chatter away like a happy little sparrow.
In the future, perhaps we can let Qin Xiao have more contact with this Han Fengting.
Gu Tang himself had a mission, the most important of which was to change Qin Xiao's current personality and make him willing to communicate with others.
Once the two children had walked a little further away, Gu Tang turned his attention back to Han Xuan.
Han Xuan is very tall.
No matter the occasion, this marshal of the blazing sun regiment always stood ramrod straight.
Gu Tang had previously searched for his information online. Although there wasn't much useful information, he still had a general understanding of the person.
"Marshal Han." With his son not by his side, Gu Tang's gentle expression vanished.
Looking at Han Xuan's handsome, aloof face, he took the initiative to ask, "May I ask what brings you here?"
"Han Xuan." Han Xuan corrected Gu Tang's way of addressing him, "Feng Ting and Qin Xiao are good friends, Mr. Gu, there's no need to be so polite."
Gu Tang did not refute, seemingly acquiescing to this form of address.
He neither liked nor disliked Han Xuan.
It's just that he's on par with Qin Junche, and Qin Xiao does have a good relationship with that nephew.
That's why he was willing to stand here and listen to Han Xuan speak.
"Your mental strength..." Han Xuan pondered for a moment before finally speaking, "is not above Grade A."
All men and women in the empire who are twelve years of age or older will undergo a mental strength test.
Grade A and above are considered geniuses and are the focus of the Empire's training program, with the expectation that they will be able to demonstrate their full potential in the Legion in the future.
As for S-class students, they will definitely receive a lot of resources to ensure their success.
Han Xuan and Qin Junche were born into wealth and privilege.
In addition to their S-level mental strength, they also have the Empire as their true backing.
It's almost a given that he has grown into the genius warrior he is today.
As the marshal of the Blazing Sun Legion, one of the six major legions of the empire, Han Xuan was qualified to access the list of all testers of A rank or above.
But he remembered very clearly that Gu Tang was definitely not among them.
Otherwise, Gu Tang wouldn't be teaching botany at a third-rate university now.
But just now, Han Xuan witnessed firsthand that spectacular, overwhelming mech simulation battle against a B-class opponent.
While people were still discussing whether Qin Xiao's father, who was piloting the mecha, possessed A-level or S-level mental strength.
Having carefully observed every detail, Han Xuan, a master mecha pilot, almost instantly determined—
S-rank!
Or rather, the pinnacle of A-level!
Although the battle lasted five minutes, the details it revealed demanded extremely high levels of mental strength from the mech pilots.
Han Xuan couldn't believe he didn't know someone with such high mental strength.
He stared intently at Gu Tang.
In his dark eyes, it seemed as if a fire was burning.
The young and handsome man in front of me has a son who is very talented in mecha.
So he himself...
Gu Tang's mind raced.
Although he had never piloted a mecha, he understood the principles of everything.
Since he knew who Han Xuan was, he knew all too well that he had no way of deceiving this expert on mecha.
Since he knew he would eventually reveal his true identity, Gu Tang paused for a moment and said, "My mental strength is indeed not at the A-level."
Han Xuan: "..."
He didn't know whether he should believe it or not.
The battle just now is still fresh in my mind.
But the man in front of her was far too calm.
Han Xuan had rarely seen anyone as calm and composed as Gu Tang under his watchful gaze.
"As for how you won," Gu Tang blinked.
Mental strength couldn't fool Han Xuan, but on the other hand, he was familiar with it.
He had never piloted a mecha before.
But Gu Tang, standing next to Qin Junche, clearly saw every move of the two mechs during their close combat.
Although the quantum longsword is different from the sword used by cultivators, the winning techniques are similar.
In fact, this thought had already popped into Qin Junche's mind when he exchanged his first blow with that parent.
However, at the time, his thoughts were very vague, and Gu Tang was not sure whether his thoughts were correct or not.
After watching the entire battle, Gu Tang felt that his idea was feasible!
From Gu Tang's perspective, the entire battle was essentially just two taller men wielding longswords and sparring.
He knew that mental strength was needed to operate the mecha well.
But what if two people with the same A-level mental strength were to pilot mechs in close combat?
Who will win?!
Gu Tang could say with almost certainty that whoever had the superior swordsmanship would win!
He was unfamiliar with mechs.
But when it comes to sword techniques...
I'm afraid there are very few people in the entire empire who can surpass Gu Tang, who has cultivated for ten thousand years and has a sword cultivator partner!
Gu Tang hesitated for a moment before meeting Han Xuan's still deep eyes.
He raised his hand.
Although I only watched it once, and my view was inside the mech's cockpit.
But he would never forget the moves Qin Junche and his opponent used once he saw them.
Based on his memory, Gu Tang demonstrated the quantum sword moves he had just made.
