Chapter 105: The Soul Singer

Upon closer inspection, even the Moqi brothers, Weihao and Weihan, were astonished. How could it be them?

A second look confirmed it: it was indeed Kuang Shao and Zhan Yu.

Unlike the surprise felt by the others, Ai Zhe’s brow furrowed deeply. Why was he here? Ai Zhe recalled that when he first saw Xuan Xuan at the school gates, she had been quite familiar with Zhan Yu.

The others were filled with either admiration or excitement. The girls in the crowd were particularly thrilled; having two such handsome men around during the dull drudgery of military training was a massive bonus.

Xuan Xuan frowned. Were Kuang Shao and the others planning to stay in the Imperial Capital for so long? Did that mean there were no problems with the Zerg?

Zhan Yu seemed relatively lenient on the first day, sparing them any harsh displays of authority.

Of course, as her capabilities grew, she would learn to restrain herself, mitigate her impact on others, and apply her powers with greater precision and wider reach. However, in the current Federation, where combat was dominated by mechs, such a talent had far less practical utility.

Xuan Xuan frowned slightly. Was the girl afraid of her? She set down her things and tidied up, taking out the issued uniform, which they were apparently required to wear from now on. Seeing that Lou Yitong seemed wary of her, Xuan Xuan didn't initiate conversation. Later that night, while washing up, she looked in the mirror. Had she grown up to look intimidating? It didn't seem so.

The next morning, while Xuan Xuan was still in bed, Lou Yitong was already dressed and ready. After hesitating for a long time, she approached and called out twice
