On the night before their departure, Bai Luo Yin went to bed early to sleep—thinking about returning to Beijing the next day, his mood was outstandingly buoyant! All the other pilots were tossing and turning in bed, feeling tense with anxiety about the following day's flight performance, which made it impossible for them to sleep. Good thing that obstacle was not riling Bai Luo Yin's mind, since he passed out the moment he dug into the blankets.

At seven o'clock in the morning, those pilots got up and conducted the last collaborative practice. So far, there were genuinely only ten pilots participating in the final flight performance. With the exception of Zhou Ling Yun, there were nine, including Bai Luo Yin and Liu Chong.

"There is no need for everyone to be nervous today. If there are any mistakes, I'll come find you later!"

All the soldiers' faces collapsed. Commander... no, Master Zhou, is this how you comfort people?

Once nine o'clock peacefully rolled in, ten fighter jets steadily rose into the sky and started to advance toward Beijing in a uniform velocity.[1] Perhaps, God was empathizing with those pilots for their arduous training regime, since the sky of Beijing was remarkably clear and boundless, making the flying conditions just perfect!

Gu Hai sat at the outer stage of the arena and looked up at the sky, feeling extremely anxious, with absolutely no excessive expectation. While others hoped to see a brilliant performance, he only hoped for Bai Luo Yin to safely complete the mission. It did not matter if he was a bit inferior to the others or made a mistake, as long as he could reach the ground, it was more than enough to assuage the tension in Gu Hai's mind.

"Hey, who are you? How come I've never seen you before," an air force officer asked Gu Hai.

Gu Hai responded with indifference. "I'm not in the military, just a family member of one of the pilots."

"No wonder," The officer ridiculed. "I can see that you're more nervous than they are."

No kidding!! Gu Hai mentally roared, throw your wife into the sky for a try and see how it feels!!

Bai Han Qi also sat at the outer stage, viewing the performance when he was asked the same question, and gave the other person the same exact answer. The venue there did not permit in spectators outside of the military, therefore, Bai Han Qi's solo entry only occurred due to Gu Hai's strenuous efforts. That was for nothing else but to let him see how much his son was worthy of being his pride.

After each finger was abused by no one else but himself, five fighter jets finally flew into Gu Hai's line of sight.

Obviously, all five fighter jets were identical in every way possible, and were in five parallel positions. However, Gu Hai could easily make out which was controlled by Bai Luo Yin with just one glance.
