Major General Alpha (15): Gu Juntian, could it be that he has a dual personality?
The audience watching the live broadcast fell silent, staring blankly at their handsome crown prince battling the Zerg.
The scene before them, and the person in it, were completely different from what they had imagined!
The viewers on the StarNet thought that Gu Juntian was different from how they had pictured him—and the same went for Zhou Qinghao.
He had never seen Gu Juntian like this before!
How did Gu Juntian turn into this?
No matter what, since Gu Juntian had made a request… Zhou Qinghao seriously helped him record the video.
Then he saw Gu Juntian encounter an attack from the Zerg while performing a difficult maneuver.
Zhou Qinghao was startled and instinctively wanted to rush to the rescue, but at that moment he saw Gu Juntian’s mecha dodge urgently, rolling several times across the ground to evade the attack.
At the same time, Gu Juntian’s voice came through: “Mistake, that was a mistake, I usually don’t do that.”
“My mecha piloting skills are actually very good!”
“A little Zerg like this? I’ll take it down easily!”
…
Gu Juntian spoke as he charged at the Zerg again.
He regretted it a bit.
Over the past few days, he had focused so much on improving his physical fitness that he forgot to practice mecha operation.
Although he had inherited the original owner’s memories and knew how to operate a mecha, and his powerful mental power allowed him to control it as if it were part of his body, he still felt somewhat unaccustomed to it.
It didn’t matter—he was adapting quickly!
Gu Juntian treated the Zerg as a sparring partner, fighting with great enthusiasm and even managing to injure it.
At that moment, someone on the StarNet finally spoke up: “Wasn’t it said that even though Gu Juntian is an S-level Alpha, he’s at the bottom among all S-level Alphas? This is the bottom?”
“How many S-level powerhouses can pilot a mecha and fight a Zerg alone?”
“The crown prince’s mecha skills are really good. Sure, he made a lot of unnecessary moves and rolled around while dodging attacks, but he avoided every single strike from that high-level Zerg!”
“If the crown prince didn’t keep yelling, he’d actually look pretty handsome…”
…
As they were talking, some people went to the comment section of the one who had claimed Gu Juntian colluded with Zergs and questioned him: “This isn’t what you said!”
“Didn’t you say the crown prince colluded with the Zergs to kill Zhou Qinghao? What’s going on here?”
“Were you deliberately framing the crown prince?”
…
Faced with the questioning, that person was at a loss and could only say: “He must have some other scheme!”
He insisted Gu Juntian had another plot, but many people no longer believed him.
In the First Legion, Marshal Lei let out a long sigh of relief.
The situation didn’t seem as bad as he had imagined.
The people around Marshal Lei were even more astonished: “Marshal, the crown prince clearly enjoys fighting, his combat awareness is strong, and his strength is not weak at all… Why didn’t he fight himself before and instead tried to steal Zhou Qinghao’s achievements?”
They had just carefully observed Gu Juntian’s expression.
His excitement and happiness were clearly for the upcoming battle!
In other words, Gu Juntian liked to fight!
And his performance in battle was impressive.
He was a natural-born warrior!
Why would someone like him not fight on the battlefield himself and instead take credit for others’ accomplishments?
Marshal Lei was silent for a moment before saying, “I don’t know either.”
Even to him, the grandson before his eyes felt unfamiliar.
At a certain Third Legion garrison, the second prince, who was watching the live broadcast, had already changed his expression.
Why was Gu Juntian fighting on the battlefield himself?
And why was Gu Juntian so strong?
Would the elaborate trap he had set still work?
The second prince began to panic—given the current situation, the trouble might even rebound onto him.
What was going on? He had planted so many people around Gu Juntian, so how had no one discovered he was like this?
Had Gu Juntian been pretending all along? Had he already discovered his schemes?
No, impossible—Gu Juntian couldn’t have found out about his schemes.
Even though the second prince told himself this, he couldn’t stop feeling guilty, and he asked the people beside him, “Can we stop the live broadcast?”
The person next to him replied, “Your Highness, to make the broadcast spread, we authorized the signal source to several live streaming companies. They can all access it, and the First Legion surely has too. Unless we dismantle the signal transmitter on that barren star, the broadcast can’t be stopped.”
“Damn it!” the second prince cursed.
Now he was riding a tiger and had no choice but to watch how things unfolded.
Meanwhile, Gu Juntian was still shouting, “Qinghao, Qinghao, was I handsome just now?”
“Watch my Whirlwind Kick!”
“Invincible Starfist!”
“Karba Grand Spin!”
The “Invincible Starfist” and so on that Gu Juntian mentioned were moves from a very famous animated series in the human empire, one that had been running for decades.
It was an animation where the main characters piloted mechas to go on adventures, and one of the main characters would perform the “Karba Grand Spin.”
For mecha students, it was indeed a difficult move—rumor had it that without S-level mental power, one could never learn it.
The original owner of Gu Juntian’s body had specifically practiced this move to show off in certain situations, and now Gu Juntian executed it with smooth precision, even using it to dodge an attack from the high-level Zerg.
“I’m so handsome!” Gu Juntian praised himself.
Just then, the high-level Zerg suddenly raised its head and let out a sharp, ear-piercing roar.
Gu Juntian, caught up in the excitement, was speaking more casually, and said, “It’s too wicked—realizing it can’t beat me, it’s using a noise attack. Qinghao, I’m so dizzy, I need a kiss to feel better.”
Zhou Qinghao looked helpless.
On the way to the barren star, he had actually harbored many suspicions.
He had wondered if Gu Juntian had brought him out alone to kill him.
Now he knew that wasn’t the case, but Gu Juntian’s behavior was still beyond his expectations.
The audience watching the live broadcast remained calm.
This wasn’t the first time the crown prince had acted coquettish with Zhou Qinghao—they were used to it.
“That video of the crown prince calling Zhou Qinghao a dog—could it have been fake?”
“The crown prince doesn’t seem like a bad person.”
“He doesn’t seem like he wants to harm Zhou Qinghao…”
…
Just then, they suddenly saw the dirt around the high-level Zerg start to move.
Next, four more high-level Zergs emerged from the sand.
Including the original one, there were now five high-level Zergs in front of Gu Juntian.
Gu Juntian spoke again: “That guy said there were no fewer than four high-level Zergs here—he wasn’t lying!”
As soon as he spoke, all five high-level Zergs began attacking him.
If that weren’t enough, one of them even spoke human language: “Zhou Qinghao, this time you’re dead.”
The Zerg race had strict hierarchies—the queen was the leader and could command all Zergs, and high-level Zergs could command mid- and low-level ones.
Low-level Zergs came in thousands of varieties, with intelligence similar to animals. Mid-level Zergs were fewer in number—those with low intelligence were like young children, while the smarter ones were comparable to ordinary humans.
But the Zerg race lacked advanced technology and relied on their strong bodies to roam the universe. Their physiology was different from humans, so mid-level Zergs could not speak human language.
High-level Zergs were different.
They had strong learning abilities and could speak human language.
When Gu Juntian heard the high-level Zerg, he realized it had mistaken him for Zhou Qinghao.
These Zergs were here specifically to ambush Zhou Qinghao.
Gu Juntian said, “Qinghao, you’re really too outstanding! Look, these Zergs are colluding with my dear little brother just to kill you.”
Gu Juntian said it casually, not realizing that his words shook the entire StarNet.
Previously, someone had accused Gu Juntian of colluding with the Zergs to harm Zhou Qinghao.
Now Gu Juntian was saying the second prince had colluded with the Zergs to harm Zhou Qinghao.
Which was true and which was false?
No—that wasn’t the main point. The main point was that there were now five high-level Zergs!
Gu Juntian was strong, and Zhou Qinghao was even stronger, but could the two of them handle five high-level Zergs at once? Probably not, right?
The people on the StarNet were panicking!
Zhou Qinghao was also anxious. “Be careful!”
After saying that, he charged into the battlefield.
The high-level Zergs were as large as Gu Juntian’s personal spaceship, and in their encirclement, the mechas of Gu Juntian and Zhou Qinghao looked tiny.
“Qinghao, you be careful too—don’t get hurt,” Gu Juntian said while dodging the high-level Zergs’ attacks.
Zhou Qinghao asked, “Where’s the reinforcements you mentioned?”
Gu Juntian replied, “I’ve already sent them a message, but they haven’t arrived yet… It’s fine, we can play with these little zergs for a while first!”
As he spoke, his expression turned serious.
Next, he was going to unleash his big move!
Gu Juntian shouted, “Watch how a 3S-level master sweeps away the Zergs!”
The human empire didn’t actually have a 3S classification, but it existed in novels.
The original owner of this body had read a novel where the protagonist, with 3S-level mental power, killed the Zerg queen.
Gu Juntian believed he also had 3S-level mental power and, like the novel’s protagonist, was chosen by fate.
When Zhou Qinghao heard this, he didn’t know what to say.
Could Gu Juntian possibly have a split personality?
The Gu Juntian who had once looked at him with disdain and called him a dog, and the Gu Juntian before him now—they didn’t seem like the same person at all!
