Chapter 316: Chapter 316: Baby is here to see Mommy!
Su Wan and Pandora were safe inside the Mecha, but Sheng An was exposed on the outside.
Sheng An gritted his teeth, "It’s fine, we’ll be there soon!"
Pandora looked at the torrential downpour and was stunned...
Ten minutes later, the team members successfully sought refuge inside a cave.
Apart from some mild corrosion scars on Sheng An’s skin, the rest were all safe.
Su Wan hurriedly applied medicine to Sheng An.
Sheng An said, "I’ll be all right, these wounds will heal in half an hour."
Su Wan, "Although the wounds will heal, the pain during the process is real."
Pandora had already retracted her Mecha and hung her head low, a look of guilt on her face.
"I’m sorry."
As Su Wan was applying the medicine to Sheng An, she said without looking up, "Not following orders and causing a teammate to get injured, we will rest and you, Pandora, will be punished to stand guard."
Pandora immediately replied solemnly, "Yes!"
For the time being, Empire University was safe.
The people from Davis University finally broke free from the maze.
However, just as they were about to hurry on their way, they encountered the acid rain and quickly retreated back into the maze.
The people from Prys University had just entered the maze and chose the road on the right, which no one else had taken.
Meanwhile, the five Mermaids from Siren University had run into the ferocious Star Beast in the maze challenge.
The weakest in combat power, they were fortunate that the protective personnel arrived in time to rescue them.
However, their ranking in this competition was already treated as zero points.
As long as the people from Prys University could successfully navigate through the maze,
That would mean Siren University would finish last!
As for the people from Yuanyi University, they had passed the previous few challenges with ease, flying directly here.
But this final challenge with acid rain and flood was specifically targeted at them.
All five were injured to varying degrees.
After frantically flying for a long time, they finally found a place to shelter from the acid rain and avoid the floods.
But they were in quite a mess.
And in terms of location, they had deviated from the endpoint and were now trailing behind the team from Empire University.
The teachers in the control room were all very silent.
It had to be said that at this point, only the team from Empire University was performing relatively well.
The children from the other schools left something to be desired.
Leanna sighed, "Looks like after this first competition ends, we’ll have to go back and give the kids a good lesson."
Adolf said, "Actually, it’s not surprising, after all, the joint examination between our five universities has been suspended for many years. They are all very talented and insightful children. As long as their shortcomings are pointed out and they can correct them, that is progress."
Several teachers nodded in agreement.
Just then, Adolf heard a report from one of his subordinates that the Commander had arrived.
He immediately stood up from his seat and walked out.
Leanna asked, "What’s the matter, Colonel?"
Adolf, "Commander Gu has arrived!"
Everyone was taken aback, their expressions a bit subtle.
Theoretically, they all respected Commander Gu, who was also the first War God of the Empire Federation.
However, Commander Gu’s wife was here.
Was he coming to support his wife?
The group looked at Lan Yurou, who had previously pursued Commander Gu.
Lan Yurou was extremely vexed!
Over there, Gu Jue disembarked from the starship, carrying little Gu Chen, the baby with wolf ears, in his arms.
Little Gu Chen looked around curiously.
His little pitch-black eyes shone brightly.
The Interstellar Warriors at the base saluted Gu Jue first.
Then they all curiously eyed the baby in Commander Gu’s arms.
Was this the naturally Super S-class Beastman?
Too cute!
Just then, Gu Lei also rushed back, almost at the same time as Gu Jue returned to the base.
He had dealt with the family matters and his mood had calmed down.
Gu Lei, holding the data on the light computer, said to Gu Jue, "Xiaowan performed very well, extremely calm and composed. She didn’t panic when facing issues, and she’s bold yet meticulous."
The corners of Gu Jue’s mouth lifted slightly.
When others praised his little charming wife, he felt honored.
It was the wolf-eared baby in Gu Jue’s arms, though, who, hearing the praise for Mommy, clapped his hands happily.
"Mommy, awesome!"
Gu Lei’s eyes were tender; he was growing fonder of Little Gu Chen.
He nodded, "Yes, Xiaowan is awesome, and Xiaochen is as well!"
The wolf-eared baby, praised, got a little shy and snuggled in the father’s chest.
But the large tail that stuck out was wagging back and forth.
It revealed his quite proud little mood.
Ten minutes later, Adolf and the teachers from other schools witnessed this scene.
The handsome and cool Commander, with a stern face.
In his arms, however, was an adorable, incredibly cute wolf-eared baby.
This striking contrast in cuteness stunned everyone in place.
Leanna even clutched at her chest, saying, "The Commander’s little one is just too cute! I wonder if we can touch him."
A few men looked at her speechlessly.
If you dare, you go ahead and touch.
Lan Yurou’s eyes were complex.
So, even the aloof First Commander could have such a gentle side!
Adolf and the others saluted Gu Jue promptly.
Gu Jue, holding the child, walked to the frontmost seat and sat down.
"Everyone, have a seat. I’m just here to see how the first phase of the competition is going," he said.
Adolf said eagerly, "It’s nearly at the end."
Gu Jue nodded slightly, his gaze shifting to the large screen.
He quickly and accurately located his little charming wife.
And Little Gu Chen, upon seeing Mommy, stared anxiously at the Mommy in the screen with big round eyes!
Compared to others with disheveled appearances, Su Wan’s condition was indeed very good.
Her hair was just a bit disordered, and her face didn’t have even a speck of dust.
Standing at the mouth of the cave in the gold-and-white uniform of Empire University, Su Wan was looking outside.
The acid rain was still falling.
Soon, it gathered into rivulets on the ground.
Then flowed off in one direction.
Su Wan squinted.
If she remembered correctly, that direction led to the labyrinth.
This test was truly unforgiving, firmly exploiting each school’s weaknesses.
"I wonder where the people from Yuanyi University are now," she mused.
Pandora, who was standing guard next to her, stiffened.
She spoke somewhat glumly, "If they didn’t reach the end before the start of the acid rain, they’d probably be scurrying around, looking for places to take shelter."
She turned, her eyebrows knit together and a gloomy expression on her face, "Su Wan, I’m sorry."
Su Wan said, "You don’t need to apologize to me. After this first stage of the test is over, the teachers will give us a summary. Just listen carefully to their advice then."
Pandora asked, "Su Wan, why are you so calm and composed when facing issues?"
Su Wan’s smile faltered slightly.
She replied, "Perhaps it’s because, since my childhood, I’ve encountered too many adversities."
Initially, when she first transmigrated to Ancient Earth, Su Wan was also dumbfounded.
Back then, she was only thirteen, not a Beastman.
Suddenly finding herself in a strange world, there was nobody who could help her.
