On the 2nd of January, the military of the Pegasus Star Region announced the lifting of military control. Everyone in the Pegasus City was relieved.
Without the patrolling military Star Armors, Galloping Horse City immediately became lively. The emotions that had been suppressed for two days were finally released. Almost everyone rushed to the streets to enjoy the festive atmosphere of the New Year.
Gao Zhengyang didn't like to join in the fun, but Tong Ying and Cheng Qingyun did. He was dragged by two women to the Maroon Cafe.
The two women had completed their shopping spree a few days ago, so they didn't want to go shopping now. They just wanted to stay here and enjoy the liveliness and liveliness of the crowd.
The two women also wanted to see how many people knew them. Unfortunately, although the video of them playing the piano was popular throughout the Alliance, very few people paid attention to Tong Ying and Cheng Qingyun.
It was because Gao Zhengyang's performance was too stunning that Cheng Qingyun and Tong Ying became the background. Moreover, Gao Zhengyang did not show his face in the video. Even Tong Ying and Cheng Qingyun looked weak in front of the camera.
Because this kind of video was not authorized by Gao Zhengyang, he naturally could not put his face in it. It was the same for Cheng Qingyun and Tong Ying.
Light Years Away, on the other hand, became popular because of the video.
TikTok was also very capable. It quickly contacted Gao Zhengyang and spent 10 million yuan to obtain the exclusive license for "Light Years Away", including the rights to promote, disseminate, and so on. Of course, there were some clauses in the contract that stated that Gao Zhengyang would be entitled to 10% of the profits outside of the platform.
Maroon Café is playing the song "Light Years Away." That was how people were. Regardless of the quality of the song, as long as it was popular enough, people would follow it.
Cheng Qingyun and Tong Ying were a little disappointed that they did not receive the attention of the crowd. They sat there listlessly.
Gao Zhengyang, on the other hand, was in a good mood. He had collected 10 million yuan in copyright fees, a windfall. Moreover, his name had spread through the Alliance.
He didn't want to become famous so early, but the situation was already out of his control.
In order to deal with the Lu Family in the Orion Star Region, he had played a big game and destroyed a base. At the time, it seemed to be very secretive, but when the military took over the Lu family, the information about the base could no longer be hidden.
Why was Li Guorui so nice to him, giving him three sets of Silver Star Armor? When he met Li Yunyang back then, he didn't mention this. It was because they had investigated the base and found out how powerful he was.
The three Star Armors were a form of compensation, as well as an emotional investment.
With Gao Zhengyang's talent, he might one day become a Golden Divine General. Although the possibility was very, very low, what if? The three Star Armors were nothing to Li Guorui. However, giving them to Gao Zhengyang was a great favor.
On the way back, they encountered the Chariot pretending to be pirates robbing a passenger ship. Gao Zhengyang could only go on a killing spree and kill another two hundred Star Masters. Although no one knew the process of the battle, Song Wu also reduced the number of kills by half.
However, these two attacks had actually been recorded in the military's records.
Gao Zhengyang knew that it was useless for him to keep a low profile. Those who should know already knew of his existence. Not knowing of his existence meant that the other party posed no threat at all.
Another important reason was that Gao Zhengyang needed more resources in order to advance faster. If they stayed low, they wouldn't be able to get any resources.
This body's background was too poor. It had no background and no resources. If he wanted to get resources, he had to fight. Just like in these two battles, if Gao Zhengyang didn't fight, he wouldn't have been able to get the Biochemical Core and so many Star Force Crystals.
With his age and background, it would be hard to hide once he showed his talent. In order to get more resources, Gao Zhengyang had to work harder.
Although the University League was a virtual game, it was the most important competition for Star Masters. It had been held for thousands of years. It had an extremely important and far-reaching influence in the Alliance.
The reason why there had never been three consecutive champions in the Heavenly King Cup was because the competition was too fierce. All the teams would do their best to win the championship.
The University League couldn't be treated as a game. It was a huge vanity fair. The rewards for the winners would be beyond his imagination.
Gao Zhengyang didn't want to go to the battlefield to fight. As a low-ranking officer, he would be cannon fodder on the battlefield. If he wanted to get military merits, he would have to exchange his life for it.
The attention and influence of the University League made it a shortcut to success. As long as he performed well in the University League, he would have a great advantage.
Even if he entered the military in the end, his starting point would be much better than his peers.
Furthermore, the huge prize money of the University League was very attractive.
Risking his life to a dangerous planet would most likely end up with nothing. Gao Zhengyang weighed the pros and cons and chose the University League. The rewards were clear and the path was clear.
Most importantly, it was in line with his age and also in line with other people's expectations of him.
Being famous wasn't a big deal. However, if he was too independent, not only would he confuse the people around him, but he would also cause unnecessary trouble.
It wouldn't be easy for the God Masters hiding in the dark to confirm the identity of other God Masters.
The population of the Alliance and the Great Qin Empire was uncountable. With such a huge population and sufficient education resources, it wouldn't be surprising for any kind of genius to be born!
Since Gao Zhengyang had already made a name for himself, he might as well move forward as usual. If he hid himself, it would arouse suspicion.
Naturally, he couldn't share these problems with anyone. Cheng Qingyun and Tong Ying couldn't understand these problems at all. How would Gao Zhengyang share these problems with them? It would be a huge pressure on them.
Two young and beautiful women should be enjoying their wonderful youth and love, and should not be burdened with such a heavy burden. Furthermore, they wouldn't be able to bear it.
Gao Zhengyang only confirmed his goal after sorting everything out. He didn't go on stage to show off on a whim.
Gao Zhengyang was quite satisfied with the publicity this time. Not only did he stand in the limelight, but he also paved the way for the next performance. It also made everything look a lot more natural.
Otherwise, it would be very surprising if a peerless genius suddenly appeared!
Gao Zhengyang was thinking when he saw two familiar people walking towards them.
Wu Song, who was in the lead, was wearing casual clothes and holding Wu Shuang's hand with a relaxed expression. Wu Shuang was wearing a princess bubble dress and had her hair in a small bun. She was holding a big ball of cotton candy in her hand, looking especially soft and cute.
When the father and daughter walked over, they attracted the attention of many passers-by. It was mainly because Wu Shuang was too cute.
"Brother Beichen, Sister Ying, Sister Qingyun …"
Wu Shuang shook off her father's hand and ran over, greeting them sweetly.
Tong Ying saw that Wu Shuang couldn't even open her eyes from smiling, so she ran over and hugged her. In fact, she was only a head taller than Wu Shuang. Tong Ying hugged Wu Shuang and could only lift her feet off the ground.
When the two hugged each other, they looked very much like sisters.
Wu Shuang was very happy. She hugged Tong Ying's neck and rubbed it intimately. "Sister Ying, I missed you so much."
Cheng Qingyun also came over and patted Wu Shuang's little head. She actually quite liked this little girl. It was just that she didn't like her as much as Tong Ying did, so they didn't act so intimately.
Gao Zhengyang also stood up and took a few steps forward. He nodded slightly to Wu Song. "You're so free to come to Galloping Horse City for the New Year."
Gao Zhengyang also noticed that there were at least twenty guards around Wu Song. However, for Wu Song, it was still a risk.
Although the aristocratic families had been defeated, there were still many of them who were fleeing outside. If they knew that Wu Song was here, it was very likely that someone would take the risk and go crazy for revenge.
Wu Song was very relaxed. Although military control was lifted, the fleet had locked down Galloping Horse City, so outsiders couldn't enter at all. The military also had a strong control over Galloping Horse City. It wouldn't let assassins sneak in.
Moreover, he wasn't a dough. Anyone could pinch him.
Wu Song said with a smile, "I didn't bring Wu Shuang this time to go shopping. I specifically came to look for you."
Gao Zhengyang smiled. "General actually came to look for me. It's an honor. Come, please sit inside. I'll treat you to coffee. The coffee here is not bad. "
There were especially many customers during the New Year. The coffee shop was about ninety percent full. Fortunately, Gao Zhengyang and the others were all sitting outside. The space was quite spacious. Although there weren't any partitions, it was still private.
None of the customers drinking coffee knew Wu Song. Although the military and the aristocratic families were fighting, the main battlefield was in space and the major planets.
Although the ordinary people of Galloping Horse City were affected a lot, they weren't familiar with the military leaders. Moreover, the major media and publicity channels didn't dare to carelessly promote Wu Song.
The military was independent, and no media dared to mess around. Doing this kind of thing was strenuous and unrewarding. If it was done wrong, they would lose themselves.
Wu Song wasn't a high-profile person. If it weren't for the aristocratic families taking the initiative to cause trouble, he might not have made a move against them. It was also because of Wu Song's low-key restraint that some of the aristocratic families had the wrong impression. They began to crazily seek death.
However, after this battle, the military was also elated. The remaining aristocratic families of the Galloping Horse Galaxy all behaved themselves. The military also greatly praised and rewarded Wu Song.
Wu Song wasn't old, and many of the military leaders thought highly of him. However, Wu Song wouldn't leave the Galloping Horse Galaxy for the time being.
The rank of a Galloping Horse Legion Commander was already very high. Wu Song's position was limited. If he wanted to be promoted, he had to at least wait until someone left to make room.
Wu Song also knew that he couldn't leave for the time being, and Wu Shuang was too young. He thought about it again and again, and asked for the opinion of his family, and decided to let Wu Shuang study at Galloping Horse University for two years.
With Wu Shuang's talent and grades, of course, she couldn't enter a second-rate university like Galloping Horse University. Therefore, Wu Shuang was only temporarily studying there, and wasn't considered an official student.
Under normal circumstances, the university naturally wouldn't accept such a young student. However, her father's name was Wu Song, so this wasn't a problem.
Galloping Horse University's basic education was actually not bad. However, Wu Song still hoped that Wu Shuang could learn more. Wu Shuang showed him the video of Gao Zhengyang playing the piano yesterday, and he was amazed after watching it.
As a Star Master, Wu Song naturally knew how difficult this move was. Flexibility, coordination, balance, and control had all reached the peak of what a Silver Star Master could achieve.
Of course, actual combat techniques were advocated for simplicity, directness, and effectiveness. Combat techniques that were too complicated or delicate were proven to be very ineffective.
As a huge and tough combat weapon, the Star Armor didn't need to be too delicate. Only in a one-on-one battle, those complicated techniques were meaningful.
When Star Masters saw the video of Gao Zhengyang playing the piano, they would be amazed by the exquisiteness and delicacy of Gao Zhengyang. However, no one would be too in awe. Because everyone felt that it was a kind of show-off, and had little to do with actual combat.
However, Wu Song was different. He knew that Gao Zhengyang had once killed more than 200 Star Masters by himself. This kind of combat result was unbelievable. In fact, he also had a lot of doubts.
However, when he saw the video of Gao Zhengyang playing the piano, Wu Song suddenly understood that there was no luck in everything!
This time, Wu Song specially ran over to look for Gao Zhengyang. He was a soldier, and he was used to being straightforward.
"Your teacher and I are good friends, so I won't stand on ceremony with you."
Wu Song said, "Xiaobei, I'll be straightforward. I want Wu Shuang to learn from you."
He saw that Gao Zhengyang's expression was indifferent, and he didn't seem particularly happy or disgusted. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "This young man is not old, but he's more mature than his teacher."
Wu Song pondered for a moment, and said very formally, "I want Wu Shuang to formally acknowledge you as her teacher. What do you think?"
Gao Zhengyang laughed again, "You really think highly of me."
"I believe in your ability, and I also believe in my foresight," Wu Song said very seriously.
Wu Shuang acknowledging a teacher was not a small matter. This meant that Wu Shuang and Gao Zhengyang had established a very close relationship. It also meant that the Wu Family and Gao Zhengyang had a close relationship. Moreover, this was related to Wu Shuang's future.
For Wu Song to take this step, it still required a lot of courage.
However, he felt that Wu Shuang was right. Master Qian Jiang was very powerful, and his social circle was also very strong. However, Master Qian Jiang's upper limit was there. He taught a lot of female students, but when did he ever produce a true powerhouse?
Wu Shuang didn't want this kind of social circle. She wanted to become a true powerhouse, and everyone would be proud to know her.
Master Qian Jiang had a fixed income, but the income was limited. Gao Zhengyang was a stock with potential. No one knew what he would gain. However, looking at Tong Ying and Cheng Qingyun, and looking at Gao Zhengyang's own performance, Wu Shuang wanted to take a gamble.
Wu Song thought about it again and again, and also agreed. That was why he took the initiative to look for Gao Zhengyang today.
Gao Zhengyang also admired Wu Song a little. He dared to take a risk with a genius like Wu Shuang. However, it was also because Wu Shuang was a genius that Wu Song was willing to take the risk. If the talent was mediocre, the risk would be meaningless.
"Thank you for thinking so highly of me, and Wu Shuang is willing to learn from me. I'll take her as my student."
Gao Zhengyang didn't decline. Wu Shuang was indeed a genius. With such a student, he would have a helper in the future. Moreover, the Wu family didn't give it to him for nothing.
Otherwise, how could Wu Song become the highest commander of the army at such a young age? His teacher, Bai Zhihu, was very powerful, but he was only the chief of staff of a division.
In terms of position, he was eight streets away from Wu Song's position as the highest commander of the army. Of course, Bai Zhihu was very experienced, and he served in the best division, so his position was still very special.
Gao Zhengyang readily agreed, which made Wu Song very happy. It would be too meaningless to pretend to decline at this time.
Wu Shuang had been listening at the side. Hearing that Gao Zhengyang had agreed, she hurriedly jumped over and bowed deeply to Gao Zhengyang. "Student Wu Shuang greets teacher."
"Get up." Gao Zhengyang held Wu Shuang's little arm. "There's no need to be so formal between us."
Wu Shuang insisted. "Becoming a disciple is a big thing. Teacher can relax, but students have to be serious."
"Yes, you're really a good student." Gao Zhengyang smiled and didn't insist.
Wu Shuang bowed very formally three times, which attracted a lot of attention from the surrounding people. Wu Shuang looked so cute and young, but her serious look was very different.
The others originally wanted to watch the show, but they realized that this group of people wasn't playing. Whether it was Wu Song or Gao Zhengyang, they both had their own temperament. One look and you could tell that they weren't ordinary people.
Especially Gao Zhengyang. Although his expression was relaxed, he sat there with an indescribable master's aura.
After Wu Shuang bowed three times, she took the cotton candy from Tong Ying's hand and handed it to Gao Zhengyang. "There's no tea, I'll give this cotton candy."
She was afraid that Gao Zhengyang wouldn't like it, so she added, "It's very sweet. I haven't eaten it yet."
"I can't stand on ceremony with this cotton candy."
Gao Zhengyang took the cotton candy and took a bite. It was really delicious. The cotton candy was soft and sweet, and it was pure and not greasy.
Tong Ying jumped over and grabbed the cotton candy. "Let Master's wife try it too."
She took two bites and handed it to Cheng Qingyun. "Old Cheng, try it too …"
Tong Ying also said to Wu Shuang, "Come, you try it too."
Wu Shuang didn't stand on ceremony. She smiled and went over to share the cotton candy.
Wu Song was also happy to see that they got along so well. Even if he didn't learn anything from being a disciple, it would be good for Wu Shuang to find a few friends.
Wu Song said to Gao Zhengyang, "I'll hold a banquet in a few days."
Becoming a disciple was naturally a big deal. If the conditions were met, a banquet would be held to introduce the teacher and students to others. It could also be considered a public announcement.
Bai Zhihu was quite open-minded and didn't care much about these empty titles. Moreover, he was already competing with the aristocratic families at that time. Therefore, he didn't hold a banquet to accept an apprentice.
With Wu Song's identity, his daughter naturally had to hold a banquet to celebrate. Otherwise, it would inevitably make people doubt their sincerity.
In fact, Gao Zhengyang didn't care about this. The so-called teacher-student relationship still depended on how the two sides got along. If they didn't get along well, even a father and a mother would fall out, let alone a teacher-student relationship.
However, since Wu Song put on an attitude of importance, he didn't need to be too modest. He said, "Okay, then I'll have to trouble you, General."
"You're my daughter's teacher. If you continue to call me that, you'll be treating me like an outsider. In the future, you can call me Third Brother." Wu Song said straightforwardly.
Gao Zhengyang laughed. "Then I'll climb up the social ladder, Third Brother."
"Hahaha …" Wu Song was also very happy. It was rare to see an interesting and capable person like Gao Zhengyang.
Two days later, Wu Song sent out invitations to all the high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Galloping Horse City, inviting them to attend Wu Shuang's discipleship banquet.
Wu Song swept away several aristocratic families. At this time, his power was at its peak. Other people couldn't find a way to curry favor with him. Those who received the invitation didn't dare to be slow.
On that day, the largest six-star Pegasus Hotel in Galloping Horse City gathered distinguished guests. Those who went in and out were either rich or noble. The invitation to attend the banquet was actually a kind of identity verification. Those who didn't receive an invitation meant that they weren't qualified enough.
All the high-ranking officials and dignitaries who came to attend the banquet naturally attended in splendid attire. Just like Cheng Qingyun's mother, Hao Fengjiao, specially wore the green jade pendant given by Gao Zhengyang and wore the most beautiful phoenix dress.
With Cheng Ye's status, he naturally had to sit in the first row to observe the ceremony. When it was time for the discipleship, Gao Zhengyang walked out from the backstage and sat in the middle of the chair. Wu Shuang formally stepped forward and bowed three times before serving tea to thank him.
Hao Fengjiao looked at Gao Zhengyang sitting there with a face full of surprise. She pulled Cheng Qingyun's hand and asked, "That, that's Xiao Bei?"
Cheng Qingyun said with a face full of uncertainty, "Right?"
"You damned girl, you're still showing off in front of me!"
Hao Fengjiao wasn't stupid. She quickly realized that Cheng Qingyun was teasing her. She angrily grabbed Cheng Qingyun and couldn't help but mutter, "This is the army commander's daughter. Tsk tsk, this son-in-law is amazing, amazing …"
