Moreover, the aura of the massive golden dragon continued to rise.
Roar, roar, roar
The resounding dragon roar grew stronger, but Tang Les condition seemed to worsen. The giant golden dragons body swelled from one hundred meters to three hundred meters, yet its scales cracked, and faint blood mist erupted, which was immediately swept up by the golden light and disappeared without a trace.
Uncle Le, Lan Xuanyu clenched his fists. He didnt know what Tang Le was doing, but he had a feeling that Tang Le was breaking through, much like his own ascension, but many times more dangerous than when he broke through to five rings.
The intense blood energy fluctuations made Lan Xuanyus inner restlessness grow stronger. The golden dragon rolled in the air, and its wounds increased. These were internal injuries, as if its inner power was trying to burst out.
Its dragon eyes flickered, sometimes shining with golden light, sometimes filled with blood.
It seemed it was struggling with something, releasing something.
At that moment, Lan Xuanyu suddenly felt a warmth on his chest. He instinctively looked down and saw that the dragon scale pendant hanging around his neck was emitting a faint silver glow.
Its reacting. Teacher Nanas token is reacting! Lan Xuanyu shouted, his voice hoarse from the sheer volume, but his intense excitement was evident.
However, he couldnt convey this to Mr Le, he couldnt make a sound.
Just then, a silver light shed, and the Silver Dragon Spear suddenly floated up, hovering around Lan Xuanyu. In the next moment, it disappeared into a sh of silver light.
Teacher Nana! Bai Xiuxiu eximed, equally excited.
The Silver Dragon Spear was gone, transported through space. That was Teacher Nanas weapon!
Immediately afterward, they saw the Silver Dragon Spear appear right in front of the giant golden dragon that Tang Le had transformed into. The spears tip pointed directly at the golden dragons forehead.
Its sudden appearance was like a stabilizing force, causing the violently twisting golden dragon to suddenly freeze. The blood-red in its eyes gradually cleared, transforming back into bright golden eyes.
Roar The dragon roared to the sky, golden light bursting outward from within. In an instant, the golden light surged, and its body rapidly expanded to a length of one thousand meters. The dazzling golden light illuminated the sky, making the distant Seventh Fleet appear dim byparison.
He broke through! Elder Yi eximed in shock.
Yes, at that moment, neither he, Meng Fei, nor Yu Muchen could feel the fluctuations in Tang Les aura anymore, because from that instant, Tang Le had broken through to a level beyond their reach. Level 120!
He had achieved Super God status!
In the next moment, the silver spear in the sky turned direction, transforming into a silver streak as it shot horizontally. The thousand-meter-long golden dragon, without hesitation, pped its enormous wings and chased after the silver light.
This scene was fully captured by the star probe and witnessed by the entire Seventh Fleet. For a moment, the million soldiers of the Seventh Fleet were utterly silent.
Yu Muchen couldnt help but look at Elder Yi and asked in shock, Who is he?

Chapter 941 - 941 – He is Tang Wulin, the Golden Dragon Moon Song
941 C He is Tang Wulin, the Golden Dragon Moon Song
TL: BluVerse
Yi Zichen closed his eyes. He knew that at this point, there was no way to keep it a secret any longer. He let out a long sigh and said, Ten thousand years ago, Shrek Academy was obliterated by a God-ying soul bomb. That was the darkest era in the history of Shrek Academy. During that time, the Abyssal ne invaded, nearly destroying the Federation. It was then that the leader who revitalized Shrek Academy emerged. He led that generations Shrek Seven Monsters and, with the help of the Tang Sect, rebuilt Shrek Academy and established the current Shrek City. He nted the Seed of Life at the bottom of Sea God Lake and eventually created the Eternal Tree by absorbing the energy of the Abyssal ne. He is a hero of the Federation and one of the most significant figures in Shrek Academys history. He was the Tang Sect Master and Sea God Pavilion Master of that generation, a figure who dominated his era, and ultimately fell alongside the Silver Dragon King. He is the Dragon King Douluo, Tang Wulin, the Golden Dragon Moon Song.
Boom Everyone present was left in stunned silence, their minds nk from the shock of Yi Zichens words.
Tang Wulin, the Golden Dragon Moon Song, this name held immense significance for Shrek Academy, the entire Douluo Federation, and the history of soul masters. Without him, humanity might have been destroyed. Legends say he was the son of Tang San, the progenitor and first founder of the Tang Sect, and the Sea God. He was a true descendant of a god king.
At this moment, Major General Zhang Zekai and the colonel next to him couldnt hear Elder Yis voice. Themunication device connected to the mothership also couldnt pick it up, as Yi Zichen had sealed it with his divine sense.
Only the god-level powerhouses present, along with Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu, could hear him.
Lan Xuanyu was in a daze. He suddenly remembered the first time he met Nana was in a mall where he bought a figurine of Tang Wulin, the Golden Dragon Moon Song.
Yes! Just now, when Uncle Le left the star probe, didnt he look exactly like that figurine? Only the real Golden Dragon Moon Douluos battle armor was far more magnificent than the figurine, as it was the real deal.
Uncle Le was actually a mighty figure from ten thousand years ago? How did he survive until now? Isnt it said that even with the help of the Life School, the maximum lifespan for humans is only about a thousand years?
He wasnt he dead? Yu Muchens voice stammered.
Yi Zichen smiled bitterly, Yes, we all witnessed his death back then. When he was the Pavilion Master, I was just an outer court disciple, an ordinary student of Shrek Academy. So, when I saw him again after ten thousand years, I couldnt believe my eyes. But when I sensed his aura, even though he hadnt fully awakened at that time, I waspletely sure I wasnt mistaken. It was him, truly him. In this era, there are only a handful of people who can truly verify his identity and have survived until now. Im one of them.
Yu Muchen swallowed hard. Everything made sense now. He finally understood why Yi Zichen showed such respect towards Mr Le and why he deliberatelygged behind when walking with him.
If this person is truly the legendary Dragon King Douluo, then in Shrek Academy, he would indeed hold an incredibly esteemed position!
Then Suddenly, Yu Muchen jumped up from his chair. His sudden loss ofposure indicated the significance of his realization.
His voice trembled, Then he said, he said, that Teacher Nana is
Yi Zichen silently nodded, his eyesplex as he said, The true King of All Beasts, the god of all soul beasts. Former Spirit Pagoda Master, the Beast God Di Tians master, and once the lover of Dragon King Douluo. They were lovers torn apart by the conflict between humans and soul beasts. She is the Silver Dragon Douluo, Gu Yuena.
His memory drifted back to those turbulent years ten thousand years ago, when humanity was at its most perilous. The names Tang Wulin, the Golden Dragon Moon Song, and Gu Yuena, the Silver Dragon Douluo, were incredibly brilliant and dazzling in the Federation. They were magnificent.
He clearly remembered that proposal, that final duel. It had left countless people in tears, countless people with lifelong regrets.
They they are both still alive how is this possible, how can this be? Yu Muchen waspletely beside himself.
Yi Zichen sighed softly, With Pavilion Master Tang revealing his true martial spirit, along with his Golden Dragon Spear, his identity can no longer be concealed. Historians in the Federation will surely deduce his identity. So, theres no point in hiding it. He was once a great hero of humanity, contributing immensely to the Federation. Now, hes back.
Yu Muchens mind was in turmoil, no, it was in utter chaos. He didnt know what to say.
Lan Xuanyus mind was even more chaotic. His teacher Nana, the Silver Dragon Douluo Gu Yuena, had told him something before she fell into the star.
Bai Xiuxiu, in a daze, said, Yes, he is. I remember now, it was him who avenged my parents. I always wanted to find him to repay the favor, but I never found him. Its him, without a doubt. Uncle Le is the benefactor of my family.
He he dove into the stars surface. Major General Zhang Zekais voice suddenly broke the silence.
Everyone realized that the rescue operation was still ongoing. Their eyes turned to the big screen. Indeed, Tang Le, or rather the giant golden dragon that Tang Wulin had be, had plunged directly into the stars surface, sending up a massive spray of fiery rain.
In the next instant, his enormous body emerged again, following the silver spear in front of him.
Was he swimming through the star? Swimming!
Mothership.
Transmit the order to shut down all fleetmunications and observation equipment. Issue a gag order; all personnel must keep todays events strictly confidential. Any leaks will be severely punished, Admiral Bai Lingmanded without hesitation.
When that enormous golden dragon appeared, swimming through the star, he realized something significant was happening. The existence that Elder Yi respected so much likely had an extraordinary identity. Could he be a hidden powerhouse of Shrek Academy or the Tang Sect?
The specifics would depend on how the Federation assessed the situation.
The evacuation timing no longer mattered. The power that had just broken through, ording to the information from the ster probe, was super-god level. He was likely the first super-god level individual in the history of the Douluo Federation.
What could a super-god level powerhouse do? Consider what the first seat of the Heavenly Dragon had done before.
Its said that a super-god level powerhouse could destroy a small asteroid with their own strength. This already represented a strategic forceparable to the mothership.
Inside the ster probe, Lan Xuanyu was extremely tense. Despite his previous mental exhaustion, he had now forgotten all feelings of weakness. His eyes were fixed on therge screen. Major General Zhang Zekai had already locked the image capture on Tang Wulin, who had transformed into the Golden Dragon King.
Tang Wulin moved quickly, traveling across the stars surface under the guidance of the Silver Dragon Spear. The immense gravity and terrifying heat seemed to have no effect on him.
This was the power of a level 120 powerhouse even a star couldnt consume him.
The ster probe continued to hover at an altitude of five thousand meters, and as Tang Wulin moved, the mothership adjusted the probes position to maintain its distance from him.
The current scene could only be described as miraculous. A colossal golden dragon traversed the burning mes on the stars surface. Golden dragon mes what a magnificent sight.
Chapter 942: Nana was really alive!
Chapter 942: Nana was really alive!
TL: GoldenLung
This was also why Bai Ling, the general, immediately blocked the news and images. The appearance of a 120-level super god-rank expert was too important for the Federation, and they could not allow it to be easily known by hostile forces in the universe.
Time passed by minute by minute, and Tang Wulin, who transformed into the Golden Dragon King, quickly moved around the surface of the star for more than half an hour. Even for a true god-rank expert, it would be difficult to hold on for such a long time and not melt in the intense heat. However, apart from a touch of red on his scales, there seemed to be no other changes.
Just then, the huge Golden Dragon King suddenly paused, and then plunged into a viscous, golden-red liquid. Its massive body quickly disappeared without a trace.
What did it really dive into the star?
One should know that the temperature inside a star was vastly different from its surface. It was an exponential increase!
Everyone''s emotions were on edge. Even though the super powerful deity was strong, there must be limits to their power. Could he really do it?
They didn''t have to wait long as, five minutester, the enormous golden figure reappeared. At this moment, his massive body hadpletely turned crimson, with mes flickering and dancing on his surface. One could only imagine how terrifyingly burning he was.
What caught everyone''s attention was that he seemed to be holding onto something with his front ws, but all they could see was a mass of red, and they couldn''t make out what it was.
With a resounding dragon roar, the Golden Dragon King''s eyes seemed to be filled with excitement as he soared into the sky and shot into space.
Behind it, there was a red glow left behind, like a lingering shadow, being dragged out for thousands of kilometers.
The immense gravitational force of the star couldn''t affect its flight, and in the blink of an eye, it had already flown into space.
"Prepare for interception," the boss called out, and the star detector had already gone to meet it.
But just then, a sound echoed through the detector, "Don''t worry about me, I''ll cool down directly in space."
The huge golden wings pped behind it, and the massive golden dragon king flickered as it flew towards the direction of the mother ship in space.
"Contact the mother ship immediately and tell them his situation, and whatever you do, don''t attack," Yu Muchen quickly realized and said urgently to Major General Zhang Zekai.
The importance of the mother ship was central to a federal fleet, so when any foreign object approached the mother ship, it was sure to suffer a devastating blow. At this time, the Golden Dragon King flew up on his own just to cool down. If he were to be attacked, it would be a big problem. The most important thing was that this was a super god-level powerhouse, and it was not toote to make friends.
In fact, Yu Muchen''s worries were unnecessary. General Bai Ling had always been paying attention to the situation on the surface of the star. When the Golden Dragon King flew into space, he immediately issued orders to all fleets to make way for him.
At this point, the Golden Dragon King seemed to be very lucky. He did not fly directly towards the mother ship, but suspended in space after breaking out of the gravitational range of the star, quietly stopping there. The red color on his body was gradually fading away.
The star detector began to retract under the guidance of the gravitational chain, rising quickly in the direction of the mother ship.
Lan Xuanyu''s gaze remained fixed on the screen, staring at the object in the Golden Dragon King''s w. Unfortunately, with the enormous dragon w of the Golden Dragon King and the distorted light from the red glow, he still couldn''t make out what it was. But his heart was beating faster, and he had a vague sense that Uncle Le might have seeded.
The belly of the mother ship opened up, and the star detector was sucked in.
On the other side, the temperature on the Golden Dragon King had also dropped, and his body began to shrink, before he flew back towards the mother ship.
Thergest passage in the belly of the mother ship opened up, revealing a wide space.
The Golden Dragon King flew directly into it, his body continuously shrinking during the process until he finally transformed back into his human form andnded steadily in the passage. The vacuum had no effect on him at all.
As soon as the Star Detector stabilized, Lan Xuanyu and several other god-rank powerhouses rushed out. Vehicles were already waiting for them to take them directly to the location of the passage to the Golden Dragon King.
Metal doors closed, isting the outside space from the mother ship once again. When Lan Xuanyu and the others arrived, General Bai Ling had already been waiting there with several generals from the Seventh Fleet.
The metal doors slowly lifted, and a figure appeared before everyone''s eyes. He was still the gorgeous golden fighting armor covering the whole body. Tang Wulin did not want to put away the armor, his clothes had already disappeared in the high temperature, and putting away the armor meant revealing his body.
Lan Xuanyu immediately saw that Tang Wulin was holding something in his hands. As the high temperature receded, it finally revealed its true form.
That was an egg, a giant silver egg. It was about one meter and fifty centimeters high, and at that moment Tang Wulin was holding it up above his head with both hands.
The surface of the giant egg was surrounded by a silver light, and had numerous intricate andplex patterns, emitting a soft energy wave.
Lan Xuanyu took a few steps forward and ran up to Tang Wulin, his voice trembling, "Uncle Le, what is this"
There had been a faint red glow in Tang Wulin''s eyes, but it gradually faded when he saw Lan Xuanyu. "Don''t worry, she''s fine. She just entered a state of hibernation and transformed her own elements to resist the high temperature, causing a phenomenon of atavism. As long as we give her enough time, she will definitely recover. I can sense her immense vitality, and there is no sign of any dissipation."
"That''s great, that''s really great." Lan Xuanyu jumped up excitedly, holding Tang Wulin tightly with both hands.
Tang Wulin smiled and said, "Yes! There''s no better news than this."
At this point, the others had also arrived. When General Bai Ling saw Tang Wulin again, his expressionpletely changed, and he respectfully said, "Everything you''ve done is like a miracle in our eyes. Please rest first. Do you have any requests?"
Tang Wulin said, "Just give me a quiet room. I really do need to rest for a bit, but I also need to return to my mother as soon as possible. She needs the nourishment of life energy."
Yu Muchen quickly nodded and said, "We can depart at any time."
Tang Wulin said, "Give me one day. We''ll return after one day."
"Okay."
Soon, the best room on the mothership was arranged for Tang Wulin, along with the silver dragon egg in his hands.
Lan Xuanyu had been following Tang Wulin and went into the room with him. Looking at the giant egg, he was filled with eagerness in his heart.
Actually, he had always known that the rescue of Nana was unlikely to seed. He had known it all along. However, when they truly turned the impossible into possible and a miracle happened, he could hardly describe his feelings at that moment.
Nana was still alive, really alive! What could be more joyful than this?
Tang Wulin carefully ced the Silver Dragon Egg on the ground and looked at Lan Xuanyu, whispering, "Xuanyu, you''ve also overused your spiritual power. You should rest first. I need to organize my thoughts as well. Then, we''ll quickly return to Shrek Academy. Nana''s recovery will take some time after we get back, but don''t worry, I''ll put aside everything else and stay by her side."
"Okay, okay. Uncle Le, you should rest quickly," Lan Xuanyu said quickly.
Just now, Tang Wulin delved deep into the star to rescue someone. Without a doubt, his consumption must have been huge. With such immense expenditure, resting was nothing but normal.
Lan Xuanyu hurriedly exited the room. Although he had overdrawn his spiritual power greatly, it was strange to say that at this moment, under the influence of excitement, he had been in a state of indescribable excitement the whole time, and even the previous sense of weakness had disappeared.
Chapter 943: Breaking Through The 17th Seal
Chapter 943: Breaking Through The 17th Seal
TL: GoldenLung
The door closed and Tang Wulin''s calm expression gradually changed. A hint of pain appeared on his face in an instant.
Previously, when Tang Wulin was present, he tried his best to suppress his body''s internal turmoil. But at this moment, he had reached his limit and could no longer suppress it.
Evil thoughts surged towards his head, and deep inside him, there seemed to be a demon-like voice constantly screaming and howling, trying to break through thest seal andpletely invade his spiritual sea.
His eyes turned red again, and a fierce aura erupted from his body, filling the entire room. His body began to tremble violently, and the golden scales on his body''s surface fluctuated extremely unstably, asionally turning blood red and emanating a strong killing intent.
At this moment, a faint silver halo spread out on the surface of the Silver Dragon Egg. It seemed to sense the ferocity in the air. The silver light was cool and soft, and wherever it passed, the blood-red color quickly faded.
Tang Wulin hurriedly pressed his right hand on the Silver Dragon Egg. His body trembled slightly, and the silver halo climbed up his palm and quickly spread to every part of his body.
With the help of the Silver Dragon Egg, his expression finally became calm again, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"The seventeenth seal has been broken. The eighteenth seal is also unstable. We can''t let it out. Otherwise, I''m afraid I won''t be myself anymore." He kept his hand on the Silver Dragon Egg, and his breath gradually stabilized.
Undoubtedly, this rescue operation would be recorded in the history of the Douluo Federation.
For the first time in the history of the Douluo Federation, a ster rescue mission has been sessful!
The first super god-rank powerhouse in the history of the Douluo Federation had sessfully broken through!
Either one of these two events would have caused a sensation, let alone when the two arebined.
Apart from Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu, the happiest person at this time was General Yu Muchen. The Head God of War felt like he had been possessed by the god of luck. He was grateful that he had agreed to represent the military and put pressure on the Federation to carry out this rescue mission.
Lan Xuanyu appreciated him, and the one they rescued this time was the legendary Silver Dragon Dance Qilin Gu Yuena, and the one who made the move was the greatest person of the Federation ten thousand years ago. In fact, even now he could still be considered the number one figure of the Federation, Tang Wulin of the Golden Dragon Moon Song.
Who could have imagined that these two would still be alive? Not to mention their respective positions in their original forces. Just their personal strength alone was enough to affect the current order of the god-rank experts in the Federation!
Without a doubt, Tang Wulin from the Golden Dragon Moonnguage had already broken through to the super-god level. Gu Yuena from the Silver Dragon Dance Qilin could block the Heavenly Dragon, and having survived for so long within the star, she was definitely at the pinnacle of the true god level. This time, he would undoubtedly win the favor of all three of them, including Lan Xuanyu. This was great news for the War God Temple and for himself.
Regarding this, General Bai Ling had already given him very high praise in the headquarters.
The rescue operation could not be hidden from the higher-ups of the Federation. All the information had been quickly collected and reported to the Federation Council and the military.
The military had directly ordered General Bai Ling to dispatch a reliable fleet to escort Lan Xuanyu and the others back to their home.
At this time, Lan Xuanyu xas unaware of all this and was meditating with Bai Xiuxiu to recover.
His dragon god aura was also extremely beneficial for Bai Xiuxiu, which caused a purification phenomenon to ur in her Abyssal Ice Demon Dragon Bloodline, helping to consolidate her mutated martial soul.
In a meditative state, Lan Xuanyu was influenced by his emotions, and he found himself in a very strange feeling. His consciousness wandered in his mind, while his spiritual sea surged and fluctuated.
Nana''s sessful rescue had a tremendous impact on his spirit, making him even more determined about one thing: where there was a will, there was a way!
In this world, nothing was impossible as long as you wanted it, dared to do it, and had the foundation for sess. Therefore, his mental would be more firm than ever before, and in such a state, his spiritual power subconsciously rose and made a breakthrough towards a higher level.
There were several ways for improving a humans spiritual power, and one of them was through aging, which allowed the spiritual power to continue to increase. However, once the body had reached its peak, ones spiritual power would also gradually decline. Another way was through special spiritual cultivation techniques, which could also help to increase spiritual power. Finally, strong stimuli could greatly enhance spiritual power if the stimuli were positive, just like the enlightenment during soul power cultivation.
At this moment, Lan Xuanyu was in thest state. Within a short span of ten days, he experienced almost the biggest spiritual fluctuations of his life, from great sorrow to great joy. Finally, there was a rtively good ending, and as he calmed down, his spiritual power began to undergo a qualitative change while rapidly recovering.
He had already cultivated his spiritual power to a level close to the peak of the Profound Abyss realm, and now, with this evolution, he was already moving towards the direction of the Spiritual Domain realm.
One day quickly passed. When Lan Xuanyu came out of meditation, he felt as if everything around him had be clear again.
It wasn''t that his room had be clearer, but in his perception, everything that he could sense became clear. He could clearly catch the frequency of Bai Xiuxiu''s breath and feel every subtle wave in her heartbeat. Even alloys couldn''t stop the extension of his thoughts and feelings, and outside noises seemed to be noisy or quiet along with his thoughts. Spiritual power no longer seemed like an intangible force that couldn''t be grasped, but became a special energy that he could fully mobilize and change ording to his own will, even without the Purple Demon Eyes. Unlike soul power, where his will would appear wherever his spiritual power was mobilized.
This was a very strange feeling, as if he could control and feel everything in the outside world with the extension of his spiritual power.
He vaguely sensed that his spiritual level seemed to have entered another realm. The Spirit Realm? Perhaps he had broken through the threshold of the Spirit Realm?
Normally, if a soul master could reach the level of the Spirit Realm, then they would have their own spiritual skills or even a spiritual domain. But at this moment, Lan Xuanyu had not yet felt this powerful change. However, he was certain that he had broken through.
The soulmunicator on his wrist trembled slightly, and Lan Xuanyu looked down to see a message informing him to prepare to depart after resting well, as the shuttle was already waiting at the door.
At this moment, it seemed that Bai Xiuxiu beside him felt the awakening of Lan Xuanyu. Her swollen eyes from cultivation had disappeared, and she looked at Lan Xuanyu with joy, with a smile on her face.
Lan Xuanyu held her hand and pulled her into his arms, giving her a tight hug.
"Be gentle, or you''ll take advantage of me, hmph!" Bai Xiuxiu punched him lightly on the shoulder, her dark blue hair spreading in front of Lan Xuanyu. A silent sense of happiness enveloped them.
"We''re going back to our home. Uncle Le said we need to go back early, as teacher Nana''s recovery requires life energy."
"Okay."
The two of them stood up, left the room, and boarded the shuttle.
The shuttle had already been programmed and started quickly within the mother ship.
The matter was settled, and at this moment, Lan Xuanyu''s mind was broadened, allowing him to have more thoughts to observe the mother ship. The mother ship was really too big, almost like a city. Although the time he spent there was brief, he vaguely understood from the bits and pieces of other people''s words. On the mother ship, there were more than two hundred thousand people.
Chapter 944: Return
Chapter 944: Return
TL: BluVerse
Among these people werebat units, research units,mand units, and more. Each had a clear role and purpose.
Often, a mission for the space fleet took several years, sometimes even over a decade. Some individuals spent half their lives away from home once they set out.
Therefore, romantic rtionships were not forbidden in the space fleet. In fact, to maintain the soldiers'' morale and sense of bnce, the fleet was always equipped with a significant number of female soldiers. Consequently, the number of femalemanders was also quite high.
The Advanced Academy''s Interster Command Department even gave preferential treatment to female students during admissions. However, the selection process for female cadets included additional assessments of their appearance and temperament. As a result, the fleet was never short of beautiful women.
Within the mothership, there were even schools of various levels. If a woman became pregnant and had a child, the child could receive the best education. A space fleet was a self-sustaining world. Many children grew up on the mothership, never leaving it until they were teenagers, and instinctively considered it their home.
Bai Xiuxiu asionally nced at Lan Xuanyu, sensing the eagerness in his eyes.
"Do you want to be amander? Tomand a warship?" Bai Xiuxiu asked softly.
Lan Xuanyu nodded, "It was my childhood dream. Seeing the space fleet in person made this feeling even stronger. The feeling of roaming the universe is truly wonderful."
Bai Xiuxiu smiled slightly, "Yes! Every time our Thirty-Three Sky Wings warship flies through the cosmos, theres a special sense of freedom. I really like it too."
Lan Xuanyuughed, "If I join the military, I will definitely bring you along. Previously, Admiral Yu Muchen suggested that I spend some time training with the fleet. To be honest, I''m quite tempted. I''ll see what the academy thinks when we get back."
Bai Xiuxiu replied, "Wherever you go, I''ll go. I don''t have any other family."
Lan Xuanyu couldnt hide the smile on his face as he gently stroked her long hair. This experience had been full of ups and downs, but it also brought him and Bai Xiuxiu closer together.
To Lan Xuanyu''s surprise, their return trip was not on the original War God No. 17 warship but on a warship belonging to the Seventh Fleet, escorted by four Meteor-ss attack ships.
In fact, with six god-level powerhouses present, such precautions were unnecessary. This was the military''s way of showing an attitude of respect.
Undoubtedly, this respect was not for Shrek Academy or the Tang Sect, and certainly not for Lan Xuanyu. It was for the confirmed Dragon King Douluo, Golden Dragon Moon Song Tang Wulin.
Given his influence on Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect, his return had a significant impact on the Federation. Both the Federation and the military were unsure of his next moves, so it was necessary to show goodwill.
Tang Wulin''s prestige, even after ten thousand years, still held immense sway within the Federation. Not to mention, it was he who had resolved the conflict between humans and soul beasts, and his orders had provided soul beasts with their own habitats.
Both the soul beasts on Senluo and those on Elven were undoubtedly grateful to him.
Moreover, there was the return of Silver Dragon Dance Qilin Gu Yuena. Scientists had thawed Gu Yuena but had not been able to ascertain her identity, causing considerable embarrassment for the Federation Academy of Sciences. Her influence on soul beasts was undoubtedly greater.
In the past, she had even been humanity''s greatest enemy. However, the situation had changed. The conflict and tragic love story between Gu Yuena and Tang Wulin, rooted in their respective racial stances, no longer existed. Humans and soul beasts now coexisted peacefully, and soul beasts had even been granted two administrative stars to live on. The fundamental conflict had vanished.
Therefore, both in terms of influence and personal strength, these two individuals were highly valued by the Federation. The key issue was that the Federation was unclear about their future intentions.
ording to known information, both Gu Yuena and Tang Wulin seemed to have lost their previous memories. For over a decade, they had shown no intention of doing anything significant and lived a peaceful life. If not for recent events bringing them to attention, they would have continued living quietly within the Federation.
As a result, another person came under the Federation''s scrutiny: Lan Xuanyu, a student from Shrek Academy.
Gu Yuena had appeared to rescue Lan Xuanyu, and ording to informationter gathered from the Thirty-Three Sky Wings, Gu Yuena had told Lan Xuanyu that she might be his mother. This information was crucial.
Since Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena had been lovers, Gu Yuenas child would naturally be Tang Wulins child. This meant Lan Xuanyu was very likely their son. Information about Lan Xuanyu was immediately ced before the Federation''s top officials.
Lan Xuanyu did not know the extent of the impact the rescue event had on him. But even if he had known, he would still have done it. Nothing was more important than saving Teacher Nana. No matter what pressure he faced in the future, he felt it was worth it.
Thefort of traveling on the battleship was significantly greater. The massive warship, over two thousand meters long, had various facilities, including dedicated rest areas, entertainment zones, and living quarters. It was almost like a small town.
Lan Xuanyu and his group were naturally arranged in the best amodations. Tang Wulin continued to meditate and rest with the Silver Dragon Egg, and Lan Xuanyu also meditated with Bai Xiuxiu during the journey back. His spiritual power had undergone a strange change, and he knew this was a rare opportunity. The reason he hadn''t manifested a domain was likely because he was on the verge of breaking through to the Spirit Domain Realm but hadn''t fully crossed that threshold.
The Spirit Domain Realm was a crucial milestone in the breakthrough of spiritual power. If one''s spiritual power could reach this level, it significantly increased the likelihood of a soul master advancing to the rank of Limit Douluo in the future. It was also a necessary step towards achieving godhood.
Although the rescue of Nana had been sessful, it reignited Lan Xuanyu''s desire for greater strength. Among the many god-level powerhouses, he felt incredibly weak. Without reaching god-level, he couldn''t be an influential figure.
After the graduation exam, he should have rxed and taken it easy, but the sense of urgency drove him to resolve to work even harder to improve himself and to begin his next breakthrough as soon as possible.
The flight of the warship through space was very smooth; it hardly felt like they were in space at all. The internal simtion system even made it seem like they were living onnd.
Four dayster, escorted by five warships, they arrived outside the atmosphere of their home. The warships from the Seventh Fleet would not stay on the home and would return directly to the Seventh Fleet. Lan Xuanyu and his group transferred to the War God Seventeen warship, returned to the home, and went directly back to Shrek City.
As the air system switched to external cirction, a rich breath of life instantly poured in. Lan Xuanyu opened his eyes and looked out the porthole at the familiar scenery. At that moment, he suddenly felt that he had grown up. He was no longer just a boy but a young man ready to take on responsibilities.
Sunlight poured through the porthole, falling on him. Sitting beside him, Bai Xiuxiu could clearly see his long eyshes and the golden glow that seemed to shimmer on his body in the sunlight, making her momentarily dazed.
They had returned. After rescuing Teacher Nana, they had sessfullye back.

The battleship came to a steady stop at the Shrek City Space Center. There was no grand weing team outside, only vehicles from Shrek Academy, Tang Sect, and the War God Temple.
"We''ll part ways here. Xuanyu, looking forward to your message," General Yu Muchen said with a smile.
Lan Xuanyu bowed to him and said earnestly, "I will definitely consider it carefully. General Yu, thank you again for your help."
General Yu patted his shoulder and smiled meaningfully, "Yourmendation should being down soon too."
After speaking, the general bid farewell to the others, got into his vehicle and left.
The people from the War God Temple left, leaving only those from Shrek Academy and Tang Sect.
Meng Fei stood beside Elder Yi and looked at Tang Wulin holding the Silver Dragon Egg in his right hand, asking tentatively, "Are you going back to Tang Sect with us, or back to Shrek?"
Tang Wulin said, "Let''s go back to Shrek Academy. She needs more life energy to recover. Zichen, find me a ce on the Eternal Tree. I need to go into seclusion with her for a while."
"Yes," Elder Yi respectfully replied.
"Uncle Le," Lan Xuanyu called out, looking at Tang Wulin withplicated eyes. At this moment, he could also guess some of what was going on. But he still needed to confirm it.
Tang Wulin lightly touched his head and said, "My memory has recovered somewhat, but notpletely. During this seclusion, I''ll strive to recover more and sort everything out. My memory loss was mostly to escape reality subconsciously. But I think I no longer need to run away now. We''re in Shrek Academy, so don''t worry. This world is already unfamiliar to me, and it should belong more to all of you. Do whatever you want, even if you make mistakes, I''m here."
After speaking, he opened his left arm and hugged Lan Xuanyu tightly, giving him a strong embrace.
Lan Xuanyu''s eyes were slightly red, but he had aplex emotion spreading in his heart that he couldn''t exin. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn''t say it.
Tang Wulin was the first to get on the car, carrying the Silver Dragon Egg in his hand, and the others followed suit.
Meng Fei and Tang Miao exchanged a nce, and Tang Miao said, "We should notify the leader as soon as possible. This matter is too important."
"Yes, of course. Let the leader decide. However, it seems that this senior hasn''t been involved in the management of the academy or the Tang Sect. His mood seems a bit too calm."
"Too calm? Yeah! Hasn''t he lived for over ten thousand years? He''s even older than Elder Yi. His thoughts are beyond ourprehension. Anyway, we have gained a strong backing. One hundred and twenty level, I didn''t expect it to be possible."
Everything seemed very calm as the soul car from Shrek Academy drove into the campus. At the time, it was during the holiday season, and the campus was very quiet. The rich vitality was lingering, and lush vegetation could be seen everywhere.
The soul car stopped at the dormitory area and dropped off Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu.
As they got off the car, the window opened, and Tang Wulin nodded to Lan Xuanyu. Suddenly, he raised his hand, and a golden light shed. Lan Xuanyu instinctively froze for a moment, and then he felt like he had something in his palm.
When he looked down, he saw that Tang Wulin''s slender golden double-pointed spear was already in his hand.
"This used to be a gift from my sister to me, and now I''m passing it on to you. Its name is the Golden Dragon Spear. It will be very suitable for you to use with your right hand," Tang Wulin smiled and waved to Lan Xuanyu.
Looking down at the golden dragon spear in his hand, Lan Xuanyu took two steps forward subconsciously, but the soul car had already driven towards the direction of the Sea God Lake.
Lan Xuanyu stopped in his tracks, his emotions turbulent. "Is he, is he my father?"
He had of course heard about the story of Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena! If Teacher NaNa was his mother, then without a doubt, this was his biological father.
Everything seemed to havee to light. The Golden Dragon King bloodline and the Silver Dragon King bloodline in his body, weren''t they from his parents?
But how should he ask his father and mother about this?
Originally, he had thought that if he could save Nana, he would ask Nangong Cheng. However, now that Nana had been rescued, he found that he still couldn''t bring himself to ask. Asking his parents if he was their biological child would be too hurtful.
However, all the evidence was revealing that Lan Xiang and Nangong Cheng were not his biological parents.
"Don''t be distressed. You have two dads and two moms, isn''t that good? They are all your rtives! Blood rtion and upbringing are both important." Bai Xiuxiu''s voice sounded behind him.
Lan Xuanyu''s heart trembled slightly and he turned around abruptly to look at her.
Bai Xiuxiu said softly, "You are so clever, what is there that you can''t see through? Your rtionship with Teacher Nana and Uncle Le is beyond doubt. You don''t need any more evidence. Uncle Lan and Aunt Nana will always be your parents! You should feel happy to have more people who love you, how can you feel confused?"
After listening to her words, Lan Xuanyu suddenly felt that his heart was clear. Yes! Having two pairs of parents were the happiest thing for him. How could he feel confused?
"Is there anything else to ask? Not at all! No matter when, they will always be my parents."
He smiled, a bright smile appearing on his face, and suddenly hugged Bai Xiuxiu tightly into his arms.
"It''s not just me who has two sets of parents, you do too! My parents will be your parents in the future, won''t they?"
"You''re so annoying!"
Just then, Lan Xuanyu''s soulmunicator on his wrist suddenly vibrated.
He didn''t look at it.
He was holding a beauty in his arms, and Nana had also been rescued. In his opinion, there was nothing more important than continuing to hold onto the beauty.
"You should answer it." Bai Xiuxiu punched him lightly.
"I won''t answer." Lan Xuanyu continued to hold her.
"What if it''s something important? What if it''s the academy leader looking for you?" Bai Xiuxiu''s face turned slightly red, and she pushed him lightly.
Lan Xuanyu released his embrace somewhat helplessly and looked towards his soulmunicator. As soon as he saw it, his expression stiffened.
"What''s wrong?" Bai Xiuxiu came over and looked at the soulmunicator screen on his wrist.
There were two words on the screen: "Mom".
Lan Xuanyu''s note for his mother was on it, so it obviously couldn''t be Gu Yuena.
Bai Xiuxiu looked up at him, and her gaze was also somewhatplicated for a moment.
Lan Xuanyu took a deep breath and handed her a reassuring look before connecting the call.
"Mom. It seems like we really have a telepathic connection! I just got back to the academy, and your call came in." Lan Xuanyu said with a smile, no different from before.
But on the other end, it was silent. "Mom, what''s wrong?" Lan Xuanyu asked in confusion.
"Lan Xuanyu." Nan Cheng''s voice was slightly hoarse, as if she had been crying.
"Mom, are you okay? Did Dad bully you? I happened to have a break over here, and I''lle see you in a few days. I''ll support you."
"Xuanyu" On the other end of themunication, Nancheng had already burst into tears.
"Mom, please don''t cry! Mom, I love you, and I love Dad too. Whenever, whatever happens, I will always be your son. How about this? I''ll bring Xiuxiu ande back to see you, okay? I''ming home." Lan Xuanyu said softly.
"Mm, okay." On the other end, there was only Nancheng''s choked-up crying.
Hearing her crying, Lan Xuanyu suddenly felt his heart tighten. At this moment, he became even more certain of his thoughts. Mom, you will always be my mom.
"We''re going to grow wings at this rate." Bai Xiuxiu looked at Lan Xuanyu, who had hung up the call.

"Why dont you stay back? You''ve been going non-stop, its too exhausting." Lan Xuanyu looked at Bai Xiuxiu with a bit of concern, noticing that she had lost some weight.
"What are you saying? I have to support you too! Lets go!" As she spoke, Bai Xiuxiu grabbed his hand, not even returning to the dorm. She released their soul-guided car from the storage soul guide and drove away directly.
On Heaven Dou.
Nan Cheng sat dazed in her bedroom, her eyes red and swollen from crying. Lan Xiao sat beside her.
Today, they had just received an inquiry from the Federation. Nothing could be concealed anymore. The fact that Lan Xuanyu came from an egg wasnt known only to them, but also to their colleagues at that time. Many things couldn''t withstand investigation.
To their surprise, the Federation didnt punish them. Without saying much, they politely sent them back.
Nan Cheng realized something and called Lan Xuanyu. Her biggest worry was that Lan Xuanyu would be affected by his origins. But from Lan Xuanyus words just now, it was clear that he knew and wasnt affected by his identity.
"What did Xuanyu say?" Lan Xiaos breath was a bit rapid.
"He said he loves us, no matter what, we are always his mom and dad. He also said he would bring Xiuxiu back to see us soon. Husband, wuwuwu" Nan Cheng threw herself into Lan Xiaos arms and started crying loudly.
Lan Xiao let out a long breath, "What must be will be. We can''t be that selfish in the end! Xuanyus identity must be special. We"
"He is my son!" Nan Cheng choked up.
"Yes, he is."
Lan Xuanyu was at the Shrek City Aerospace Center when he called Liu Feng, telling him to inform everyone that he and Xiuxiu were safe and that Nana teacher was also rescued. He told them they could take a vacation. He and Bai Xiuxiu would also take a few days off to go home.
As for how they would return home, they naturally didnt need civilian spacecraft. They would directly pilot the Thirty-Three Sky Wings warship back. Even with just the two of them, in nonbat situations, piloting the warship was no problem. The cruise mode alone was enough to take them to Tianluo Star.
A few dayster.
"Knock, knock, knock." The sound of knocking came.
Nan Cheng almost reflexively jumped off the sofa. This wasnt the first time there had been a knock at the door these past few days. Although she knew Lan Xuanyu couldnte back so soon, she rushed to the door every time.
And this time.
"Xuanyu!" With a scream, Nan Cheng tightly hugged Lan Xuanyu, tears streaming down.
The travel-worn Lan Xuanyu was startled, quickly holding Nan Cheng and bringing her back inside, while Bai Xiuxiu closed the door.
"Mom, dont cry, dont cry!" Lan Xuanyu gentlyforted her with soft soul power mixed with a bit of water attribute.
Nan Cheng choked up, her body trembling slightly, unable to calm down for a long time.
Lan Xiao wasnt home; he was probably at work.
This familiar home, Lan Xuanyu hadnt been back for several years.
The house hadnt changed, still so familiar, even the aroma remained the same.
After a long while, Nan Chengs emotions finally stabilized. Her hands trembling, she dialed a number, "Ill tell your dad toe back quickly."
"Okay."
An Hour Later
An hourter, Lan Xiao also returned home. Seeing Lan Xuanyu, Lan Xiao pressed his lips together.
Dad. Lan Xuanyu took the initiative and gave him a hug.
Lan Xiao finally smiled a bit more. Although it had been a while since theyst saw each other, he didnt feel any strangeness from his son. This put his heart at ease.
Nan Cheng looked at Lan Xiao and then at Lan Xuanyu. Lan Xiao nodded to her.
Nan Cheng said softly, Xuanyu, there are some things you need to know. Back then
Mom, theres no need to say anything. Didnt I already tell you during our call that day? I will always be your son, no matter what, and no one can change that. I love you and I love Dad. Thats enough. Whatever happened in the past, I dont want to know. Its not important. All I know is that you raised me and made me who I am today. Without you, there would be no me.
Lan Xuanyus words made Nan Cheng tremble slightly, and she began to cry again.
Lan Xiao went over to hug his wife and said softly, I told you, our child has grown up and be more sensible. No matter what, he will always be our son. You worry too much.
Nan Cheng suddenly lifted her head and retorted, Am I the only one who worried? Who was it that stayed up all night, secretly smoking on the balcony until dawn? Hmph! You think I didnt know? The smell of smoke was enough to choke anyone.
Watching their usual banter, Lan Xuanyuughed and felt more at ease.
Dad, Mom. This time, Xiuxiu and I came back for a vacation. Our graduation exams are over, and we should have no problem getting into the inner court of Shrek Academy. The recent exams exhausted us, so make sure to cook lots of delicious food for us. Well be freeloading at home until school starts and wont go anywhere.
Yes, Lan Xuanyu had already decided on the way back that he would spend quality time with his parents. He had been busy with cultivation these past few years and rarely came home. With the inner court and possibly joining the fleet in the future, he would be even busier. It was the perfect time to stay home for a while.
His Uncle Le and Teacher Nana were recovering at Shreks inner court and didnt need hispany. Before leaving, he had specifically called Ying Luohong to ask for leave, which was granted. They had a month off to rx and rest.
Thats great. No problem. Mom will go out and buy some delicious food for you right away. I promise youll gain weight before you go back, Nan Cheng said, her mood clearly lifted by seeing her son and hearing his words.
Wait a moment, Lan Xiao said, pulling Nan Cheng back. Then he looked at Lan Xuanyu and said, Xuanyu, we understand your feelings. Dad is very happy, truly happy.
Lan Xiaos eyes reddened as he continued, But there are some things you should know. After all, it concerns your origins and will help you in the future when you seek out your own background.
Lan Xuanyu was stunned. He originally didnt want to know how he came to be with Nan Cheng and Lan Xiao. After all, it didnt matter anymore. His identity had long been confirmed through their shared bloodline.
Back then, your mother and I lived on our home. We were piloting a survey ship, conducting explorations in the far northern regions of the
We never expected that within this peculiar gold and silver-colored egg, we would find a human baby. Yes, that was you.
Lan Xiao recounted in detail how he and Nan Cheng discovered Lan Xuanyu in the far north.
Since you didnt leave any trace of the egg, we didnt know how to report it to the Federation. After discussing it, your mother and I decided to adopt you and raise you as our own child. So, we dont know your exact origins; we only know that you must have an extraordinary background. A few days ago, the Federation summoned us and specifically inquired about you. We were very worried, afraid that something had happened to you. Fortunately, you are fine. Your mother cried not just out of fear that you wouldnt recognize us, but more importantly, out of concern for your safety.
A child born from an egg.
Lan Xuanyus gaze became a bit vacant. Although he had guessed that he wasnt Lan Xiao and Nan Chengs biological child, he hadnt expected his origins to be so bizarre.
Born from an egg? What kind of weirdness was this
And he had even been picked up from the far northern regions.
Chapter 947: Lan Xuanyu Is Not Human
Chapter 947: Lan Xuanyu Is Not Human
TL: BluVerse
In other words, Lan Xuanyu himself was not purely human?
Various chaotic thoughts continuously shed through Lan Xuanyu''s mind.
Sitting beside him, Bai Xiuxiu was also stunned. He he wasn''t human either? Being born from an egg, he must be a soul beast, right? So, he was actually like her
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was quite strange.
Perhaps because of all the turmoil he had experienced recently, Lan Xuanyu gradually regained hisposure and said with a bitter smile, "I didn''t expect that I came into the world this way. But it seems to confirm history."
Lan Xiao and Nan Cheng exchanged nces. Lan Xiao frowned and asked, "Confirm history? What do you mean?"
Lan Xuanyu murmured, "Dad, do you remember? When I was young, you often told me stories. One of those stories was about the resurgence of Shrek Academy ten thousand years ago. Back then, Shrek Academy had been destroyed, and it was rebuilt through the efforts of that generation''s Seven Shrek Monsters, leading to the current Shrek Academy. The leader of the Seven Shrek Monsters at that time was Tang Wulin, the Dragon King Douluo. That was also the era when humans and soul beasts reconciled. In the final battle, Dragon King Douluo Tang Wulin and his lover, Silver Dragon Douluo Gu Yuena, fought to the death together, transforming into meteors and disappearing. ording to historical records, the direction they disappeared to was the north."
Nan Cheng couldn''t help but ask, "What does that have to do with you?"
Lan Xuanyu smiled bitterly and replied, "Teacher Nana should be Silver Dragon Princess Gu Yuena. She was revived from ice by scientists ten thousand yearster. The ce where she was found was in the far northern regions."
Nan Cheng instantly realized something and covered her mouth. Lan Xiao eximed, "You mean"
Lan Xuanyu silently nodded, "Yes, she is very likely my biological mother, which is why we felt a close blood connection the first time we met. She was seriously injured while saving me and is now in the academy in a deep sleep. When she saved me, she told me she might be my mother. If I really came from the far northern regions"
At this moment, Lan Xiao and Nan Cheng were also somewhat stunned. They never expected that the family teacher they had found was actually Lan Xuanyu''s biological mother. More importantly, Lan Xuanyu might havee from ten thousand years ago.
This was all too unbelievable.
Silver Dragon Princess Gu Yuena was the legendary Silver Dragon King. That meant Lan Xuanyu''s biological father was Dragon King Douluo Tang Wulin, who was both the head of Shrek Academy''s Sea God Pavilion and the leader of the Tang Sect, a rarity in Shrek Academy''s history. Perhaps he was the only one.
After all, even the founder of the Tang Sect, Tang San, never held both positions simultaneously.
They finally understood why the Federation had approached them and, after asking about the past, had politely sent them back. All of this was likely closely rted to Lan Xuanyu''s true identity.
"Nana lived for ten thousand years? Then your biological father" Nan Cheng asked softly.
Lan Xuanyu smiled bitterly and said, "You know him too, you''ve met him. Do you remember Uncle Le? You once said I looked a bit like him. He should be the Dragon King Douluo from back then."
Nan Cheng and Lan Xiao werepletely speechless. Everything seemed like a fantasy to them.
A pair of lovers from ten thousand years ago, perhaps the greatest lovers of that time, were still alive. And the son they had raised was actually their child. This was beyond unbelievable.
Lan Xiao looked deeply at Lan Xuanyu for a long moment before saying, "Son, youve had quite an eventful time recently, haven''t you?"
Lan Xuanyu nodded with a bitter smile, "I''ve only recently started to get used to it." In fact, the more important reason he epted this situation was the entire process of rescuing Nana. Nanas fall into the star had shocked him so much that everything else seemed easier to ept byparison.
"Dad, Mom, dont worry, Im doing well. Uncle Le and Teacher Nana are both recuperating at the academy. No matter what happens in the future, one thing will never change: you will always be my dad and mom. Even if I acknowledge themter, that won''t change anything. What Xiuxiu said to me that day made me understand. Most people only have one set of parents, but I have two. Isnt that double the happiness? Without you, I might have died in the far north long ago, let alone be here today. So, I will only love you more in the future."
"My dear son," Nan Cheng cried out, throwing herself at Lan Xuanyu and kissing him several times on the face before hugging him tightly.
Lan Xiao smiled with tears in his eyes, "Originally, we nned to never tell you about this. Your origins are too extraordinary, and we were worried it would affect you. We were also selfish. You''re our only son, and we were afraid you wouldn''t be able to ept the truth. But now, everything is great. Truly great."
"Son, I''ll go cook for you. Ill make something delicious," Nan Cheng suddenly jumped up and rushed to the kitchen.
Lan Xiao hurriedly said, "Take it easy, you''re still so impulsive."
Bai Xiuxiu also stood up, smiling, "I''ll go help Auntie." She said, heading to the kitchen as well.
With only the father and son left in the living room, Lan Xiao wiped away his tears and smiled, "So, what are your ns now? Will this affect you?"
Lan Xuanyu knew his father was referring to his background. He shook his head and said, "It shouldnt affect me too much. I think both Uncle Le and Teacher Nana have no desire for power. They will probably choose a more secluded life in the future. It wont affect the Federation. Uncle Le has already told me that he wants to live in Shrek City permanently. As for me, Ill continue my studies in the inner court. Ive been epted, and Ive also qualified topete for a position among the Shrek Seven Monsters. I am determined to be one of this generations Shrek Seven Monsters. Although the pressure will be immense, life will also be more exciting."
I recently encountered many things and realized that the Federation''s peace is maintained through powerful military strength. We have always had formidable enemies. In the future, I also want to contribute to the Federations peace.
What he didnt mention was that he also wanted revenge for nearly losing Teacher Nana. He still vividly remembered that persons projection.
When that man had said to him, "Isn''t it good to be alive?" with such an arrogant demeanor.
This experience made Lan Xuanyu even more determined to be stronger. He wanted to be powerful enough to contend with those top experts, to defeat formidable enemies, and to protect his family.
Son, youve grown up. Whatever you want to do, you can choose for yourself. Your mother and I wont offer too many opinions because you''ve grown beyond the point where our advice can influence your path. But as a father, I have one request: I just want my son to be safe. So, whatever you do and whatever choices you make, protect yourself and stay safe. We dont need you to visit often, but at least keep in touch frequently. Call us when you can so we can hear your voice. That will make us very happy.
Lan Xuanyu said, Dad, dont worry. I will definitely be careful. I understand that my life isnt just mine; it also belongs to my family. By the way, would you and Mom like to move to Shrek City? The air is excellent there, and the life energy is much stronger, which would be very beneficial for your health. Plus, Ill be spending most of my time in Shrek City once I enter the inner court. If you move there, our family can be together more often.
Move back to the home? Lan Xiao was a bit taken aback; he hadnt considered this possibility.
Lan Xuanyu nodded and said, Ive been epted into the inner court, and ording to the academys regtions, the families of inner court students can be approved to live in Shrek City. I just need to submit a request, and it should be fine. As for your and Moms jobs, I can help inquire about transferring. It should be possible.
Neither Lan Xiao nor Nan Cheng held particrly important positions, so transferring wouldn''t be too difficult.
Lan Xiao said, Let me discuss it with your mother. When we left the home, we were really reluctant because its the ce where we were born and raised. If we could go back and live in Shrek City, which is like a holy ce for the entire Federation, I would certainly be willing from my own perspective. The most important thing is that we could see you more often.
Chapter 948: Moving to Shrek
Chapter 948: Moving to Shrek
TL: BluVerse
"Moving to Shrek City? I have no objections. Ipletely agree!" Nan Cheng peeked out of the kitchen, her face full of surprise. "Son, is this really possible? It won''t cause you any trouble, will it?"
Lan Xuanyu quickly shook his head and said, "Of course, it won''t be any trouble. As long as you both want to go, I''ll take care of everything."
"Honey, what about you? Will your job" Nan Cheng looked at Lan Xiao.
Lan Xiao was now a senior colonel, having earned several promotions over the years while following the exploration team on variousary missions.
Lan Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Ever since Xuanyu went to Shrek, I haven''t been home often either. These past years, I''ve really neglected you. For the sake of you and our son, work isn''t that important. I''ll apply for a transfer. I won''t go on explorations anymore; I''ll stay home with you to make up for it."
"Really?" Nan Cheng''s eyes widened, her excitement impossible to conceal.
"Yes." Lan Xiao nodded at her with a smile.
Nan Cheng blinked, "You''re so sweet, honey. Love you! I''ll go back to making you both something delicious."
Lan Xiao blushed at her words, but inside, he felt an indescribable sense of contentment. After the worries of the past few days, he finally felt a sense of rxation.
And so, it was decided that the family would move to Shrek Academy when Lan Xuanyu returned, relocating entirely to the academy.
Lan Xuanyu handled everything smoothly. He first contacted Dean Ying Luohong and submitted the request. Such a matter was naturally easy to arrange.
With the identities of Young Master Le and Teacher Nana confirmed, Lan Xuanyu''s status at the academy undoubtedly rose further. Soon, Ying Luohong informed him that not only was the request for his family to move approved, but they were also given a residence within the academy itself, so they wouldn''t need to live in the city. This way, they would be closer to Lan Xuanyu, and the academy''s life energy was also more abundant.
Although they could only live in the outer courtyard, it was more than sufficient for Lan Xiao and Nan Cheng''s cultivation levels. The life energy of a ce like Eternal Sky City would be too overwhelming for them.
As for work, that was even easier to resolve. When Nan Cheng and Lan Xiao requested a transfer to the home, the military approved it immediately, assigning them to work at the War God Temple in Shrek City. The jobs were quite leisurely.
Lan Xuanyu initially thought he might need to contact Admiral Yu Muchen, as he still owed the admiral three favors. But as it turned out, there was no need for that; everything was handled directly. Of course, by transferring Lan Xiao and Nan Cheng to the War God Temple branch, the military''s intentions was clearthey were extending goodwill to Lan Xuanyu.
It was a transparent strategy, one that Lan Xuanyu couldn''t refuse.
The following period could be described as the most rxed time for Lan Xuanyu since he entered Shrek Academy. He stayed away from outside affairs, with no oneing to disturb him, just resting at home with Bai Xiuxiu.
During this time, he contacted the academy to inquire about Young Master Le and Teacher Nana. The inner courtyard''s response was that Young Master Le had entered seclusion with the Silver Dragon Egg and had not emerged since.
Lan Xuanyu had great confidence in Tang Wulin. His Uncle Le had already broken through to an unprecedented level of one hundred and twenty, and since he said that Teacher Nana would be fine, then she would definitely be fine.
Previously, Lan Xuanyu had been extremely exhausted, so when he finally had the chance to rx, he spent his days enjoying a leisurely life, exploring Heaven Duo with Bai Xiuxiu. Besides his daily training, he did nothing but enjoy these carefree days.
He also inquired about the status of his former ssmates. Most of them had been admitted to advanced soul master academies for further study, while some had joined the military. Everyone had chosen different paths.
Time off always flies by quickly, as it does for everyone, but vacations must eventuallye to an end, and the time to return to Shrek had arrived.
Nan Cheng and Lan Xiao had already packed their belongings. There wasnt much to take, and whatever they needed to bring could easily be stored in Lan Xuanyu''s Ring of Fate. With spatial equipment, carrying things was no trouble at all.
For the return trip, Lan Xuanyu piloted the Thirty-Three Sky Wings warship himself, so there was no need to take a civilian spaceship.
Although Nan Cheng and Lan Xiao had ridden on warships many times before, this was the first time they had flown on one piloted by their son. When they boarded the Thirty-Three Sky Wings warship and saw all the advanced equipment and instruments, many of which they didnt even recognize, they were even more impressed. After all, this was a warship that could be piloted by just one person.
The warship took off, heading back to Shrek.
The return journey was smooth, and to Lan Xuanyus surprise, Nan Cheng and Lan Xiao didnt feel much attachment to leaving Heaven Duo. The truth was, they had never really considered Heaven Duo their home; their real home was always the home. Being able to return to the home to live had always been their dream, so this move was like a dreame true for them.
The Thirty-Three Sky Wings warshipnded smoothly at Shrek City''s spaceflight center. This time, Lan Xuanyu didnt store the warship away but instead contacted Tang Sect for maintenance and upkeep.
The academy had already sent a vehicle to wait at the spaceflight center. Even though Lan Xuanyu hadnt officially joined the inner courtyard yet, he was already enjoying some of the privileges.
Back at the academy, the administrative staff arranged a ce for Nan Cheng and Lan Xiao to stay. Lan Xuanyu was pleasantly surprised to find out that the academy had given them a small, standalone house by the shores of Sea God Lake. It wasnt veryrge, just a single story, nestled among the dense vegetation by theke. But just outside the windows was the vast, misty expanse of Sea God Lake, and under the thick life energy that permeated the area, the small cabin seemed to radiate with the light of life.
Living in such a ce would be a blessing for anyone. Because of the richness of the life energy, Nan Cheng and Lan Xiao even felt a bit drowsy. The life energy was so abundant that it would take them some time to adjust.
After settling his parents in, Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu didnt have time to return to their dormitory. The administrative teacher had informed them that Dean Ying Luohong had instructed them to report to the Outer Court Deans office as soon as they arrived.
The two of them walked quickly and headed straight to the Outer Court office building. Unlike when they had left, they now felt rxed and at ease, with their spirits and energy in the best possible state.
The sound of knocking echoed through the office, and Ying Luohong, who was seated at her desk, smiled and said, "Come in."
The door opened, and Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu walked in from outside.
Hello, Principal.
Although Ying Luohong was very familiar with them, she couldnt help but feel a sense of admiration when she saw them now.
Bai Xiuxius bright eyes sparkled, her long dark blue hair flowing down her back. Her fair skin seemed to glow with a soft radiance, and her charming smile made her beautiful eyes appear even more lively.
Lan Xuanyu stood tall and dignified, with a faint smile on his face. His eyes were sharp yet deep and reserved. He had clearly grown moreposed, exuding a quiet confidence.
There was no doubt that the final exam and the rescue of Nana had significantly impacted them. During their recent vacation, they had adjusted well and were now in their best condition.
It looks like both of you are in great shape. Very good, very good. Have a seat, Ying Luohong said with a pleased smile, gesturing toward the sofa.
Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu sat down as instructed.
I asked you to report immediately upon your return mainly because of the matter concerning the Inner Court, Ying Luohong said, standing up from behind her desk and sitting down on the sofa across from them.
Although Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu were confident that they would be admitted to the Inner Court, they couldnt help but feel a bit nervous upon hearing Ying Luohongs words. In fact, no Outer Court disciple could avoid feeling nervous at this moment.
Chapter 949: The Entire Class Enters the Inner Court

TL: BluVerse
"So, how do you think you did on the final exam?" Ying Luohong wasn''t in a hurry to announce anything and asked with a smile.
Lan Xuanyu rubbed his nose and said, "It should have gone pretty well. After all, we uncovered a conspiracy. I wonder if the issue with the Dragon Source Crystals has been resolved?"
Ying Luohong replied, "You''re asking about Federation secrets, so I can only tell you that it''s ssified. But I can also tell you that yourmendation has already been issued."
"Commendation? From the Sky Fighter Department?" Lan Xuanyus eyes lit up. "Did they raise the level of our Sky Fighter mission? They should, considering how dangerous it was. If it weren''t for Teacher Nana, we wouldn''t have made it back."
Ying Luohong nodded and said, "That''s right. If Teacher Nana hadn''t saved you, you wouldnt havepleted the mission. So, in a way, you relied on her strength to aplish it. This means that the level of your Sky Fighter mission has actually been downgraded."
"What?" Lan Xuanyu was taken aback, and the smile on his face quickly disappeared. He had thought that they would be highly rewarded and that the mission level would be raised. If it had been raised enough, the entire ss might have had a chance to enter the Inner Court.
Seeing his change in expression, Ying Luohong chuckled softly and said, "Alright, I won''t tease you any longer. The Sky Fighter mission level was indeed downgraded, but it was downgraded from level eight. The officialmendation from the Sky Fighter Department states that the mission youpleted has been re-evaluated as an eighth-level Sky Fighter mission. Given that Teacher Nana yed a significant role, this eighth-level mission was split into two parts. It has been divided into two seventh-level Sky Fighter missions. The exploration part waspleted by you all, while the return and protection part is credited to Teacher Nana. Even though she isn''t part of the Sky Fighter Department, the mission is still consideredpleted by her. So, your finalmendation is forpleting a group seventh-level Sky Fighter mission."
Hearing this, Lan Xuanyu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Sitting next to him, Bai Xiuxiu eximed, "Does that mean wevepleted the academys graduation assessment, and the entire ss can enter the Inner Court?"
Indeed, the academy had originally set the requirement that they needed toplete at least a fifth-level Sky Fighter mission to graduate. If they couldplete a mission of seventh-level difficulty, the entire ss would be considered for entry into the Inner Court.
At that time, neither the academy nor Lan Xuanyu and his ssmates had seriously considered the possibility of achieving a seventh-level mission. Such a mission was of world-ss difficulty, achievable only by making extraordinary contributions to the Federation.
But, against all odds, they had done it and achieved such a remarkable sess.
The entire Outer Court ss being admitted to Shrek Academys Inner Court was an unprecedented event! For a moment, Lan Xuanyu''s breathing became a bit rapid.
Ying Luohong sighed, "You have no idea how many times Hall Master Tang Miao from Tang Sect has visited our academy. He said were not keeping our word. We had promised that most of the Thirty-Three Sky Wings would join Tang Sect, but now were not letting them go. He''s quite upset with us."
Lan Xuanyu asked, "So what should we do?"
Isn''t that right? The original n was that, aside from the students who were admitted to the Inner Court, the rest of the Thirty-Three Sky Wings would join Tang Sect.
Ying Luohong said, "They''ll just have to wait a bit longer. After discussing with your ssmates, we''ve decided that they will still join Tang Sect but will first study in the Inner Court. After graduating from the Inner Court in the future, they will officially enter Tang Sect. This arrangement finally satisfied Tang Sect."
Lan Xuanyu smiled and said, "That sounds good! Let the academy train us more. It would be even better to join Tang Sect after that, right?"
Ying Luohong responded, "It''s not that simple. In principle, Inner Court disciples of the academy are not allowed to join other organizations, including Tang Sect. This time, it''s an exception. So even after you graduate, you''ll technically be part of both the academy and Tang Sect."
Lan Xuanyu said, "This is really great news; everyone must be thrilled."
Ying Luohong added, "It''s good to be happy, but after the school year begins, you need to remind your ssmates. Just because you were all exceptionally admitted to the Inner Court doesnt mean that everyone will necessarily graduate from it. In fact, only about a dozen of your ssmates truly meet the Inner Courts criteria. The rest have limited talent. To graduate from the Inner Court, theyll need to work even harder."
Lan Xuanyu nodded, "Of course, you can count on me. Everyone will be especially motivated now that theyve made it into the Inner Court, and theyll definitely work even harder."
Ying Luohong continued, "The other ss directors in the Outer Court are quite unhappy about your entire ss being admitted to the Inner Court. After some internal discussions andmunication with the War God Temple, we''ve decided to change the focus of your initial training. This will also be a joint experiment between us and the War God Temple."
Lan Xuanyu was momentarily stunned. "Are we going to the military?"
Ying Luohong nodded, "Yes. Up until now, Inner Court disciples of Shrek Academy were not allowed to enlist in the military. There are many reasons for this, the main one being that our Inner Court disciples are exceptionally talented, and it would be rtively easy for them to umte military merit. Moreover, the Inner Court disciples are extremely loyal to the academy, which has been a concern for the Federation. As a result, it became an unwritten rule that Inner Court disciples could not join the military. But this time, for some reason, both the military and the Federation have rxed this rule, allowing you to intern in the military, and youll even hold military ranks. Elder Wang is currently coordinating with the War God Temple on the details. All of the Thirty-Three Sky Wings will participate."
"How long will this period be?" Lan Xuanyu asked.
Ying Luohong replied, "I''ll share a little inside information. This time, when you enter the military, you might face real warfare. This is rted to the mission youpleted during your graduation exam. The issue with the Dragon Source Crystals has enraged the Federation, and they n tounch a war against the Dragon Horse Gxy. The duration of the war is uncertain, but it wont be a full-scale conflict. You will be assigned certain tasks, likelysting one to two years. The real experience of war will be very beneficial for your growth. After you return, you will continue your studies in the Eternal Sky City."
Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu exchanged a nce and said in unison, "We will follow the academys arrangements."
Ying Luohong smiled and asked, "Whats the matter? Are you a bit reluctant to go?"
Lan Xuanyu said, "It''s not that I don''t want to go; I just prefer the academy life more. Besides, the Eternal Sky City has always been a ce we''ve dreamed of. Of course, I''m a bit reluctant. Ive always looked forward to joining the cosmic fleet, but my parents just arrived, and weve only just been admitted to the Inner Court. Im more eager to start our studies in the Eternal Sky City."
Ying Luohong replied, "Entering the Eternal Sky City is inevitable, sooner orter. This time, joining the military will allow you to put the points you''ve earned from Sky Fighter into practical use as military ranks. umting military merits will greatly benefit your future development within the Federation and even your progress within the academy. Dont forget, you''re stillpetitors for the new generation of Shrek''s Seven Monsters. Youre thest group, so in a sense, youre currently behind. The training you''ll receive in the military, along with the military merits you earn, will be crucial in thispetition. Dont underestimate the importance of this military experience. After you return, the officialpetition for Shrek''s Seven Monsters will begin. Everything you do will be evaluated. To put it simply, just aspleting the seventh-level Sky Fighter mission gave you a significant advantage in thepetition, your performance in the military will count as well."
Lan Xuanyu''s heart tightened; indeed, bing one of Shrek''s Seven Monsters was his most important goal.
"Dean, when will we depart?" Lan Xuanyu asked.

TL: BluVerse
Ying Luohong smiled and said, "This isn''t urgent. Let''s wait for the academy''s notice. There''s something else I need to inform you about. Because thepletion of this Skyfighter mission is of great significance to the Federation, and since you''re about to join the military, the military has decided to promote you exceptionally. Based on the military rank corresponding to your Skyfighter mission points, you''ll be promoted by two additional ranks. After joining the army, you''ll still be in charge ofmanding your ssmates."
"Understood." Lan Xuanyu didn''t have many thoughts about the military rank. It didn''t really matter to him. After all, they weren''t actually enlisting in the army; they were just going for training, and after that, they would return to the academy.
"Your ssmates will also be returning soon. Talk to them and make some preparations. Wait for the academy''s notice."
"Yes."
After leaving Ying Luohong''s office, Lan Xuanyu appeared to be deep in thought. Bai Xiuxiu nudged his shoulder, "What are you thinking about?"
Lan Xuanyu shook his head and said, "Nothing. I just think that if we join the military this time, the missions we need toplete might be very challenging. Otherwise, Dean Ying wouldn''t have said that this would count as our Shrek Seven Monsters assessment training."
Bai Xiuxiu asked in confusion, "It won''t be too dangerous, right? After all, it''s a real war. If they put us in a dangerous situation"
Lan Xuanyu replied, "It''s hard to say. The key is that the academy can''t control the war, and on the battlefield, anything can happen. We need to be well-prepared. The outer courtyard is about to start the new term, and the academy won''t let us waste much time. We''ll probably be setting off soon. We''d better prepare in advance."
"Alright. You''re in charge of that. Everyone trusts you."
Lan Xuanyu nodded, then raised his wrist and dialed Uncle Le''s soulmunicator number. They had already returned, and the person he most wanted to see right now was Uncle Le, especially after basically confirming their rtionship.
The call rang for a long time before it was finally answered.
"Uncle Le, I''m back. Am I disturbing your seclusion?" Lan Xuanyu asked softly.
Tang Wulin''s voice came from the other side, "It''s fine. I knew you were back. Wait for me in your dormitory, I''lle to find you."
Hearing that he wasing to see him, Lan Xuanyu''s heart tightened, "Okay."
"Uncle Le said he''sing to my dormitory," Lan Xuanyu told Bai Xiuxiu beside him.
Bai Xiuxiu nodded, held his hand, and said, "Don''t worry, everything will be fine. I''ll go back to my dormitory to tidy up a bit too. I haven''t stayed there for a long time. You should go quickly."
The rtionship between Lan Xuanyu and Tang Wulin had be clear by now. After their identities were confirmed, this was their first time meeting alone, so naturally, Bai Xiuxiu wouldn''t get involved.
"Alright."
Returning to his dormitory, the familiar ce, even the scent was familiar. Thest time he left, it was with Uncle Le, going to rescue Nana.
The problem had already been resolved, but now, facing the once Uncle Le, now the Dragon King Douluo Tang Wulin, Lan Xuanyu couldn''t help but feel nervous. He wasn''t sure how to face him.
In a sh of golden light, Tang Wulin appeared beside Lan Xuanyu as if out of thin air. This time, there wasn''t even a visible process of tearing through the space; he was just suddenly there.
His blue hair flowed down his back, and he wore a simple white outfit. His eyes showed signs of fatigue, and there was a hint of weariness in his expression. His face also appeared slightly pale.
"Uncle Le, are you alright?" Seeing his condition, Lan Xuanyu was startled, his previous nervousness vanishing. He quickly asked with concern.
Tang Wulin shook his head and smiled, "I''m fine. There were just some side effects after my recent breakthrough. I''ll need to go into seclusion for a long time after this. Focus on your studies. I also heard about you going to the military. It''s a good opportunity for growth. Back in the day, I also served in the military."
"You served in the military too?" Lan Xuanyu asked curiously.
Tang Wulin smiled and nodded, "Yes! I even became a general."
Lan Xuanyu''s heart stirred, and he asked, "Have you remembered things from the past?"
Tang Wulin nodded, then shook his head, "I can only remember parts of it, but the more I recall, the more my head hurts, so I try not to think too much. But I do remember the important things."
As he spoke, his gaze fell on the ring on Lan Xuanyu''s right thumb, "Like this ring on your hand. It was once the weapon of the Abyssal Sage King, which we seized after we defeated the Abyssal ne. The Heavenly Saint Abyssal Halberd is considered a super divine weapon, one of only two known on the Douluo Continent. Back then, I forged it into a ring to propose to your mother. But I don''t know why it ended up on your hand."
Lan Xuanyu''s heart trembled slightly; he could sense that Uncle Le seemed to want to tell him something, but he couldn''t quite put it into words. It was as if he was also hesitant to ask about the past.
Tang Wulin sighed softly, "The past is behind us now, and the greatest troubles we once faced no longer exist. That''s really good. Don''t worry, your teacher Nana''s vital signs are stable. I can sense that she''s conscious and gradually recovering. Although she was severely injured this time, the method she''s chosen for recovery requires time. In the Eternal Sky City, with the life energy of the Eternal Tree nourishing her, she will definitely recover. I won''t go anywhere; I''ll stay by her side."
"You focus on what you need to do and don''t worry about us. We''ll be fine, waiting for you at the academy. You''re at a critical time for your growth, and when you return, we''ll be there to protect you during your breakthroughs. There shouldn''t be any problems."
"Alright. Uncle Le, please take care of yourself too," Lan Xuanyu said.
"Don''t worry, for your sake, I won''t let anything happen to me," Tang Wulin smiled slightly. "I have to go back now; I can''t leave her alone. Take care, and I wish you all the best. Remember, no matter how difficult the challenges you face, once you ovee them, a whole new world will open up to you."
After speaking, he took two steps forward, opened his arms, and gave Lan Xuanyu a big hug.
Lan Xuanyu''s body trembled slightly. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, the words never came out.
Tang Wulin patted his back, and in the next moment, he transformed into a beam of golden light, disappearing right in front of Lan Xuanyu.
As the golden light faded away, a sense of loss welled up in Lan Xuanyu''s heart. Before Tang Wulin arrived, he had felt that he was ready, but actually seeing him left his emotions in turmoil.
He thought that perhaps, in the future, he would have two names: Lan Xuanyu and Tang Xuanyu.
Tang Wulin had left, and it took Lan Xuanyu a while to calm down. He first called Bai Xiuxiu to tell her that Teacher Nana was fine.
He had just ended the call with Bai Xiuxiu when another call came in.
"Boss, wahoo! You''re back! Did you know? All of us brothers made it into the Inner Court together. The whole ss! It''s awesome! Hahaha!"
The only person who couldugh so arrogantly was Qian Lei.
Lan Xuanyu replied, "I know, the dean just told me. Are you all back?"
Qian Lei said, "Almost everyone is back, and a lot of people never left in the first ce. We''ve all been waiting for the results! Everyone was really worried about how we''d do this time, especially Old Bing and the others. They were on the edge, either making it into the Inner Court or not. But this time, it turned out greateveryone''s happy."
Lan Xuanyu smiled, "Yeah! Everyone''s happy, and we don''t have to be separated. But we might be going to the military for some training soon."
Chapter 951: Gossip
Chapter 951: Gossip
TL C BluVerse
Qian Lei said, "I heard about that too. Going to the military sounds great! We can pilot warships."
Lan Xuanyu was a bit surprised, "You know a lot! How did you find out?"
Qian Lei chuckled, "Of course, we''ve got an insider. Boss, you dont know this, but while you were away, some major gossip came out."
"What gossip?" Lan Xuanyu asked, puzzled.
"Dean Ying and Teacher Tang got back together. Hehehe. A broken mirror mended, isn''t that amazing?"
Lan Xuanyu was shocked, "They got back together? Seriously?" He knew how much Ying Luohong used to be furious with Tang Zhenhua.
"Of course it''s true. But that''s not all; they even have a son, and he''s in our ss."
Lan Xuanyu was stunned, his mind racing, "So its not you, obviously. Who is it?" Even with his intelligence, he couldnt figure it out right away.
"Hehe, it''s that quiet guy, Ding Zhuohan! Haven''t you noticed he looks a bit like Teacher Tang?" Qian Leiughed mischievously.
Lan Xuanyu was speechless. He honestly hadn''t noticed, mainly because most of the time, Teacher Tang''s face was so dirty that it was hard to see his features clearly.
"Are you saying Zhuohan is Teacher Tang and Dean Yings son? Wow, that guy sure hid it well!" At this point, the fire of gossip was burning brightly in Lan Xuanyu''s heart.
"You can''t me him. The poor guy cried his eyes out that day. He didn''t even know that Teacher Tang was his dad until after the final exams when Dean Ying and Teacher Tang got back together and told him. So, now weve got an insider! You have no idea how strict Teacher Tang used to be with us, making our lives hell in the Star Wars ss. But now, he''s chasing after Zhuohan all the time, acting so obsequious. Haha, just thinking about it makes meugh. Boss, can you imagine how big Zhuohan''s mental shadow must be, suddenly finding out he has a dad?"
Lan Xuanyu was speechless again, "Is there anything else? If not, Im hanging up." He really wanted to ask Qian Lei, "Do you know how big my mental shadow is? I just found out I have a dad too"
"Actually, there is something, Boss. Have you noticed a problem? We havent been admitted to the Inner Court yet, and the Outer Courd ssroom has been taken over by the new sixth years. We dont even have a ce to gather!"
Lan Xuanyu paused, realizing that was true. They hadnt been allowed into the Eternal Sky City yet, and they were technically graduated from the Outer Courd, so they really had nowhere to go. Where could everyone meet?
"Thats a real problem. Ill ask the dean how we can solve it. But I dont think well be staying at the academy for too long. Lets wait for further notice. Dont ck off on your training."
"Of course, Boss."
After hanging up, Lan Xuanyu didnt rush to find Ying Luohong to ask for a gathering ce for the ss. He decided to head to the Tang Sect first.
Since they could be sent to the military for training at any moment, he needed to prepare in advance. After all, it was war.
Then, he dialed Deng Bo''s number. "Brother Deng, Im back. Is Hall Master Tang avable? Id like to see him. Okay, Ill head over now."
Tang Miao happened to be at the Battle Hall when Lan Xuanyu left his dormitory and headed directly to the Tang Sect.
Half an hourter, he met Tang Miao at the Tang Sect headquarters.
When Tang Miao saw Lan Xuanyu again, his gaze was a bit different. Speaking of psychological shadows, Tang Miao and Meng Feis were truly massive. If you considered seniority, forget Tang Wulin; even Lan Xuanyu could be considered their ancestor.
During this time, while Lan Xuanyu was rxing and vacationing on Heaven Duo with Bai Xiuxiu, Shrek Academy, the Tang Sect, and the War God Temple were all in an uproar because of the appearance of Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena.
The three parties were constantly in discussions, and even Spirit Pagoda somehow got wind of the situation and joined in. Dont forget, Gu Yuena was once the Pagoda Master of Spirit Pagoda, known as the strongest Pagoda Master in history. The Silver Dragon Princess, as she was called back then.
This led to a four-way tug-of-war, with the main debate being where the two of them, now that they had returned, should stay.
Shrek Academy was the most rxed because Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena were currently in the Eternal Sky City. The Tang Sect was also rtively at ease since they were closely aligned with Shrek Academy.
The War God Temple, however, felt aggrieved. As Shrek Academy, the Tang Sect, and Spirit Pagoda collectively pointed out, What do these two great beings have to do with you?
In response, the War God Temple weakly argued, At least Gu Yuena was revived by the Federation, wasnt she?
In the end, after much discussion, there was no resolution. Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena were in seclusion, and no one knew when they would emerge. So, they had no choice but to wait until they finished their seclusion to decide.
Given that one was a Transcendent God and the other was at the pinnacle of True God, both being super-powerful individuals, even the Federal Government had no way to intervene. They could only let the two decide for themselves.
At this point, apart from Spirit Pagoda, the other three major forces noticed something. There seemed to be one person who could greatly influence Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena, someone whose opinions would likely guide these two super-powerful beings.
So, the fact that Lan Xuanyu was their child was kept secret from Spirit Pagoda by Shrek Academy, the Tang Sect, and the War God Temple. Few people knew this secret, so Spirit Pagoda had no source of information about it.
As a result, the War God Temple realized that drawing in Lan Xuanyu was their only breakthrough. They even went so far as to break the unspoken rule that Shrek Academy''s Inner Court disciples should not join the military, warmly extending an invitation to him.
As for the Tang Sect, Tang Miao was undoubtedly the most pleased because he was the first to represent the Tang Sect in recruiting Lan Xuanyu, originally because of his talent, abilities, and status as the heir of the Life School.
Now, seeing Lan Xuanyu again, Tang Miao felt entirely different. Previously, he had always approached this young man with a mentor''s mindset. But now, he realized that if they were to discuss seniority, things would getplicated.
"Xuanyu, youve just returned, havent you? Is there something you need?" Tang Miao quickly concealed his odd feelings and asked warmly.
Lan Xuanyu said, "Hall Master, heres the situation. The academy informed us that our entire ss has been allowed to join the Inner Court, and everyone has also joined the Tang Sect. In the next year or two, or even longer, we might be heading to the frontlines for training. You know, the frontlines arent like the Douluo World; it''s a real battlefield, and on such a battlefield, we could encounter danger at any time. The Tang Sect''s soul technology is the best in the Federation, so I was wondering if you could give us some good equipment. One reason is to protect ourselves, and the other is to help us umte military merits more effectively."
Tang Miao sighed with some exasperation, "I knew you were being unusually friendly and came to see me for a reasonyou want benefits. Go ahead, tell me what you want. But dont even think about a warship! The Thirty-Three Sky Wings warship was already an exception for you. Besides, when youre with the military, you might not even be able to use a warship."
Lan Xuanyu blinked and smiled, "How did you know I was going to ask for a warship? That ecological warship we saw on Senluost time was pretty nice"
"Stop right there!" Tang Miao quickly interrupted him. "The ecological warship is one of our biggest secrets, something even the Federation doesnt know about. Do you think we can just let you take that to the military? You''re such a smart kid, why do you keep saying silly things? Do you even know how expensive an ecological warship is to build?"
Lan Xuanyu blinked again and said, "No matter how expensive it is, it''s meant to be used, right? Hall Master, dont be so stingy."
Chapter 952: The Terrifying Tang Sect Warehouse
Chapter 952: The Terrifying Tang Sect Warehouse
TL: BluVerse
Tang Miao rolled his eyes and said, "Is this really about me being stingy? Let''s discuss this face-to-face. The biological warship is still in the experimental phase; there''s no way you could take it with you."
Lan Xuanyu sighed, "Well, what about weapons and equipment? Surely that''s possible."
Tang Miao looked puzzled and asked, "You already have the Thirty-Three Sky Wings warship and the Skywing mechas. What more do you need?"
With an innocent expression, Lan Xuanyu replied, "Oh, just a few antimatter missiles, nothing too fancy."
Tang Miao stared at his beautiful big eyes and said, "Why do I feel like you''re developing a violent streak? The first time you piloted a warship, if I remember correctly, you used an antimatter missile. Do you even realize how terrifyingly powerful those things are? One wrong move and you''d ignite a disaster."
He knew very well that if Lan Xuanyu asked for antimatter missiles, it wasn''t just for showhed actually use them!
Lan Xuanyu sighed again and said, "This is off-limits too? Hall Master, look, our entire ss belongs to Tang Sect! If we suffer any losses on the front lines, it''s a loss for Tang Sect too. No matter how important these materials are, theyre still just dead objects. People, on the other hand, are living. Were all Shrek Academy inner court disciples"
"Alright, enough. Come with me. I''ll get you some good stuff," Tang Miao said, shaking his head helplessly, before turning and walking out.
In fact, Tang Sect was already aware of the Thirty-Three Sky Wings'' uing military service and had discussed it internally. Even if Lan Xuanyu hadn''te today, Tang Sect would still have provided them with some high-quality equipment. As Lan Xuanyu said, talent is the most important thing. Moreover, Lan Xuanyu himself had a unique status.
To put it another way, he''s practically a second-generation godspecifically, a second-generation super-god, and the only one in the entire Federation.
If this were public knowledge, Lan Xuanyu would undoubtedly be the most sought-after individual in the Federation in no time. Given his handsome appearance, it''s not even impossible that hed be considered a national heartthrob.
Tang Sect and Shrek Academy were not organizations that would typically favor members based on their background. However, Lan Xuanyu''s status was too special, andbined with his own talent, it was almost certain that as long as he developed normally, he would eventually rise to a high position in Tang Sect and Shrek Academy. Therefore, ensuring his safety was a top priority for both Tang Sect and Shrek Academy.
His well-being had far-reaching implications. And once he fully matured, there was no predicting what heights he might reach. Moreover, he could influence Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena, the most powerful couple in the soul master world.
Following Tang Miao, they traveled through several corridors, switched elevators multiple times, and descended into the underground world of Tang Sect.
Surrounded by metal on all sides, even with Lan Xuanyu''s spiritual power having just stepped into the Spirit Domain realm, he couldn''t perceive very far. Without a doubt, this ce was equipped with devices specifically designed to block spiritual detection.
Even Tang Miao had to undergo specialized scans at certain doors and switch identity cards several times before they could enter.
Lan Xuanyu didn''t ask any questions; he simply followed behind Tang Miao. The more stringent the security measures, the more important the things Tang Miao was about to show him.
Finally, when Tang Miao led Lan Xuanyu to a metal door, a chilling sensation crept into Lan Xuanyu''s senses.
The metal door in front of them was pitch ck, and even from the outside, its immense weight was palpable. What was more terrifying was the huge, three-meter-tall red skull painted on the door, with a pair of crossed bones beneath it.
Such a menacing symbol appearing deep within the Tang Sect headquarters was truly shocking. Lan Xuanyu didn''t need to ask to know that whatever was stored behind this metal door had to be something extremely dangerous.
Tang Miao nced back at him, then seemed to make up his mind as he nodded at Lan Xuanyu and approached the metal door. He took out a golden key from his pocket. The key was asrge as a palm, engraved with intricate blood-red patterns.
With a series of clicking sounds, he inserted the golden key into a slot beneath the massive red skull. Then, he tapped something on the soulmunicator on his wrist. "Old Meng, we''re here."
It wasnt long before Meng Fei, the Hall Master of the Battle Hall of Tang Sect, arrived. He also held two golden keys in his hands.
"Greetings, Hall Master Meng Fei," Lan Xuanyu quickly greeted him with respect.
Meng Fei nodded, sighing softly. "I don''t even know if bringing you here is the right decision, but the boss said you shoulde, so weve brought you here. This ce stores the most dangerous weapons in Tang Sect. To enter, three keys are required. I have one, Tang Miao has one, and thest one is with the Sea God Pavilion Master. If the Sect Master were here, the key in Tang Miao''s hand would be in his possession. It takes the confirmation of three people to open this door."
As he spoke, he slowly inserted his golden key into the door.
Lan Xuanyu was extremely curious about the weapons stored behind this door. Could their importance surpass that of the biological warship? What kind of existence could it be? Without a doubt, whatever was inside was the pinnacle of Tang Sects technological achievements.
Just then, with a series of grinding noises, the massive skull-engraved metal door slowly began to open to either side, revealing a passageway lit from within.
This ce was undoubtedly deep underground, yet the air inside was fresh and dry, providing a surprisinglyfortable feeling.
"Follow us," Meng Fei said, leading the way inside.
Lan Xuanyu and Tang Miao followed behind.
The interior was entirely a metal corridor. As they walked in, Lan Xuanyu felt as though his thoughts were being restrained, unable to even prate the metal walls around him with his spiritual power. It was a very peculiar sensation, as if this ce was a cage, holding back some ancient and terrifying beast.
Upon entering, they found themselves in a spacious area. The air inside was fresh, clearly maintained by a specialized venttion system. The temperature was around zero degrees, slightly chilly, with rtively dry air that still retained a suitable level of humidity.
Within this vast space, there were numerous metal tforms, each spanning hundreds of square meters. On top of these tforms were transparent domes, containing various objects.
These objects emitted a dazzling array of colorful glows, creating a mesmerizing effect. However, this mesmerizing sight did not feel splendid to Lan Xuanyu. Instead, he felt a profound fear that gripped his soul, causing his body to tremble. This was a genuine fear, one he had experienced before when the leader of the Heavenly Dragon attacked him. He understood that this feeling arose when facing an irresistible force, a situation where death seemed inevitable.
What were these things?
On the nearest metal tform to Lan Xuanyu, there were metal slots, each containing a metal sphere that emitted a soft yellow glow. These spheres were about the size of a human fist, with yellow light flowing inside them, resembling countless yellow threads extending inward, emitting a continuous and steady yellow glow.
There were thirty-six such metal spheres on thisrge tform.
On the adjacent metal tform, there were also metal slots, but the objects inside were different. They resembled wine bottles, with a conical front and a streamlined body, emitting a deep blue glow, as if carved from sapphire. This gave a very peculiar feeling.
Chapter 953: Forbidden Arsenal
Chapter 953: Forbidden Arsenal
TL: GoldenLung
Meng Fei nced at the somewhat dull Lan Xuanyu next to him and said, "You should have learned about the history of our Tang Sect when you were at Shrek Academy. In the history of Shrek Academy and Tang Sect, there was a huge disaster that almostpletely destroyed both. If it weren''t for the preparations made in advance, and if it weren''t for the teachers of Shrek Academy sacrificing their lives to buy some time for the students, perhaps Shrek Academy would have be a relic of the past. It was at that time that the remaining survivors of the academy and Tang Sect joined forces and elected the Dragon King Douluo as the Sea God Pavilion Master and Tang Sect Master of that generation, and rebuilt Shrek Academy and reshaped the Sea God Lake. This is how the current Shrek Academy and Tang Sect came into being. It can be said that he was a great hero of Shrek Academy and Tang Sect."
Lan Xuanyu''s heart trembled, and he certainly knew who Meng Fei was referring to. Although he had always known about this history, when he really connected it to that person, he still felt a dreamlike feeling.
But the fact is the fact, that person who once made contributions to Shrek Academy and Tang Sect, and even to all of humanity, was no less than Tang San, the founding ancestor of Tang Sect.
"And the origin of that great disaster was two stolen federal level Godyer-grade mounted soul bombs. They were known as the existence that could even kill gods. They destroyed the entire Shrek City at that time and caused countless living beings to perish."
"After the reconstruction of Tang Sect and Shrek Academy, and the flourishing growth of the Eternal Tree, the great threat from the Abyssal ne was resolved. However, we did not actually find the true culprit, or rather, the culprit was the entire Federation. Because at that time, the alliance between Shrek Academy and Tang Sect had already posed a threat to the Federation''s rule. If we wanted revenge, we would have to overthrow the Federation. But the restored Academy and Tang Sect did not do so. Because we all knew that if we really wanted to overthrow the Federation''s rule, whether sessful or not, it would lead to a catastrophic situation. And at that time, the''s life force had just recovered and needed to recuperate. Human technology had to develop towards interster migration. Therefore, the ultimate scapegoat was only the former chief of the Spirit Pagoda, the Qian Gu Dong Feng lineage, and the Qian Gu family was also wiped out from then on."
"It was also that time when we realized the fear the Federation had towards Shrek Academy and Tang Sect. At that time, the students and members of Tang Sect were already very powerful, yet they were still almost destroyed. This was because we were not actually strong enough, at least not to the point where the entire Federation would fear us. Therefore, after the reconstruction of Shrek Academy and Tang Sect, the two groups reached a consensus internally that they must be even stronger. Strong enough to the point where the Federation would never dare toy hands on us, no matter how much they feared us."
"Under the leadership of a great scientist, the Academy and Tang Sect began a profound research on soul weapons. Gradually, Tang Sect truly became the strongest scientific research force in the Federation. The Federation government also knew about this, but they had no way to stop us. "
The once god-killing level mounted soul bomb, also known as the twelfth level mounted soul bomb, had aplex structure and immense power. At that time, there were only three bombs, and thest one was used in the fight against the abyssal ne, where it yed a crucial role. Therefore, since then, the Tang Sect began to develop mass destruction weapons, not to kill enemies but for self-defense. Only with strategic weapons can we make the Federation fear us.
The Tang Sect also had its own fleet, but ourrgest warship was only at the level of a warship. This was because the Federal Government would never allow us to establish a space fleet with a mothership. This was the bottom line of the Federal Government, and we also didn''t want to break ties with them. Therefore, in terms of warships, the Federation was still the strongest. Of course, this was assuming that we do not consider our biological warships.
Lan Xuanyu silently nodded his head. The role and usage of the biological warship were extremely different from that of the federal standard warship. Just like that silver armored Dapeng warship, although it was definitely not as powerful as the gship in terms of individual strength, it had many advantages that the gship did not have. However, the biological warship was destined to be a minority and could not be mass-produced. After all, top-level soul beast corpses were too rare.
On the aspect of warships, we were not the strongest. But when it came to weapons and equipment, the Federation had to admit that our Tang Sect was at the forefront of the entire Federation. The once god-killing level mounted soul bomb, although called a god-killer, in fact, couldn''t even kill an Ultimate Douluo. If it weren''t for protecting the academy, the former Sea God Pavilion Master, Qingtian Douluo Yun Ming, could have easily escaped. And now, the weapons developed by our Tang Sect are truly capable of inflicting damage on the gods. However, these weapons were all known as forbidden weapons by us, and the ce where you are now is our Tang Sect''s forbidden arsenal. About 2,300 years ago, a predecessor of our Tang Sect once used a weapon from the forbidden arsenal while carrying out the mission of the Douluo Continent. At that time, the Federation fleet was invincible and expanding into the stars was going smoothly. It was then that the Federation government once again wanted to do something to us.
"Our ancestor used a forbidden weapon and detonated it on a small asteroid,pletely submerging it. Also destroyed were seven god-rank powerhouses of the enemy at that time. It was the strongest opponent we encountered during our exploration of the universe. It was also the explosion that caused great damage to that side''s space force, and eventually, their administrative was upied by us. Although it is not suitable for human habitation, it has be one of our most important resources."
"Our move at that time was to let the Federation understand that the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy cannot be easily provoked. Later, our predecessor relied on our Tang Sect''s forbidden weapons to demonstrate his power in many missions. Finally, he helped the Federationpletely destroy the strength of that side''s space force, bing the only ninth-level fighter in that generation of the Sky Fighting Department."
"The Federation also understood from that time on that the power of the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy was not something they could easily shake. This is what has led to over two thousand years of peaceful coexistence. Therefore, the Federation has actually known all along about our forbidden weapon arsenal, and has tried every means possible to investigate our situation and even attempted to mobilize our forbidden weapons using overt methods, all of which were blocked by us one by one. This is the fundamental basis for protecting the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy, as well as ensuring our independence."
"You apanied the military for training this time, which shouldn''t have been necessary to bring you here. However, your safety has already been raised to the highest level by the academy and Tang Sect. It was almost certain that the military would try to recruit you, and we were not worried about that. What we were worried about was that if the Federation took action against you because of your special identity, you would need to have the ability to protect yourself. The Emerald Demon Swan warship can allow you to navigate in space, but to escape, you need to have enough strength. After all, you are not powerful enough right now. So, this time we will let you carry some protective items with you. Come, let me introduce you to some good things from our Tang Sect."
As he said this, Meng Fei''s face revealed a strange smile.
Lan Xuanyu swallowed his saliva. The Forbidden Arsenal! Just hearing the name gave people an inexplicable sense of awe, not to mention actually using it.
"Master, can I really use the forbidden weapon?" Lan Xuanyu asked tentatively.

Chapter 954: Gods Wrath
TL: GoldenLung
Meng Fei chuckled, "Don''t give me that. When you were in your teens, you dared to throw antimatter missiles over at the of sin. There''s nothing you''re afraid of. I just want to remind you that you shouldn''t use forbidden weapons unless your life is in danger. The impact is too great."
"Yes, of course."
Meng Fei said, "Also, don''t mention anything about the forbidden weapons to anyone, not even your closestpanion. You cannot let them know such a thing exists."
"Okay."
As they spoke, Meng Fei had already brought Lan Xuanyu to the metallic tform with a yellow light ball.
"We call this forbidden weapon the God''s Wrath. If I remember correctly, you''re also a cksmith, right? What level of forging have you reached now?" Meng Fei suddenly asked.
Lan Xuanyu said, "I can barely do Soul Forging now. I can be considered a Level 7 cksmith."
Hearing this, Meng Fei and Tang Miao couldn''t help but look surprised. A Level 7 cksmith?
Lan Xuanyu was only eighteen years old! An 18-year-old Level 7 cksmith was almost a rarity, and was undoubtedly a genius in the cksmithing world.
Tang Miao asked, "Who taught you forging?"
Lan Xuanyu blinked and said, "Uncle Le."
Tang Miao and Meng Fei both looked enlightened, and Meng Fei couldn''t help but exim, "Being born into a family of artisans is an art itself! No wonder. Senior Tang was the foremost cksmith in the entire federation back then, the strongest god-rank cksmith. He taught you, no wonder you were able to advance so quickly. With the heavy workload of Shrek Academy''s studies, it''s not easy to reach the level of Soul Forging."
"You are a cksmith and should understand that in the field of forging, you can refine rare metals and melt them to achieve metals that underwent hundred, thousand, spirit, soul, and even the highest level of god forging. Metals at the level of god forging have already transcended the category of metals and can even be described as heavenly treasures. They are truly beings endowed with souls and life and possess powerful abilities. They are also necessary for the production of Four-Word Battle Armor. Only the Four-Word Battle Armor made of god-rank metals, tempered continuously by god-rank experts, has the possibility of continuous evolution. It takes at least four types of rare metals melted together to evolve into a Five-Word Battle Armor, and six or more to have a chance of evolving into a Six-Word Battle Armor. In fact, only seven sets of human Six-Word Battle Armor have ever appeared in history."
Lan Xuanyu''s eyes lit up, and he couldn''t help feeling excited. Although he had already reached the level of Soul Forging, he had never learned anything about the knowledge of Five-Word and Six-Word Battle Armor. He only knew that before the evolution of their mother, the highest level of human Battle Armor armor was only Four-Word Battle Armor. It was only after that the concepts of Five-Word and Six-Word Battle Armor emerged.
No wonder Uncle Le was teaching him the method of Fusion Forging and making sure that he could sessfullyplete it before continuing Soul Forging. It turned out that the role of Fusion Forging was so significant.
Meng Fei pointed to the God''s Wrath in front of him and said, "Modern energy has made rapid progress because we, the Tang Sect, invented the Positive Cirction Source Soul Circuit. It can hold a huge amount of energy in a small volume, which became the power source for battleships and allowed us to explore the stars. The God''s Wrath in front of you is also a Positive Cirction Source Soul Circuit, but what makes it special is that it is made from a whole piece of god-rank metal. It is a divine source core."
"You should have known that the biological warships have very demanding requirements for energy, requiring at least rare metals that have undergone spirit forging to be its energy source. They can then be internally converted and transformed into a Positive Cirction Source Soul Circuit. Soul-forged metals are naturally better, while god-rank metals can not be converted into a Positive Cirction Source Soul Circuit through a reaction furnace, thus bing a direct source of energy. At least, the Federation does not have this technology. Only our Tang Sect could produce it through some special means. During the process of manufacturing a god-rank source core, we discovered that when god-rank metals are refined into the Positive Cirction Source Soul Circuit, the energy contained within them is indeed huge. But there is so much that it couldn''t be a stable and continuous output. Once disrupted, an immediate explosion would ur. They were simply unusable as an energy source."
"Just to figure out this reason, we spent more than 1,300 years. During that period, hundreds of researchers died in the explosion of divine-level metal. They were all the best talents of our Tang Sect, but also a group of lunatics in our Tang Sect. But it was precisely these crazy scientists who ultimately developed the forbidden weapon."
"We discovered that the reason why god-rank metals could not be used as energy sources was mainly due to their sublimation. When god-rank metals are forged to the very end, the cksmith will undergo a baptism of heavenly punishment, which you do not know yet because you haven''t reached that level yet. Usually, a god-rank cksmith can only forge for a few years because every time they undergo a heavenly punishment, they will suffer irreversible damage. Only someone with the physical strength of Senior Tang can truly continue to forge god-rank metals. Only he, as a god-rank cksmith, could also be a god-rank powerhouse. Both us and the federal government have conducted various experiments, such as having god-rank powerhouses learn forging or cultivating genius forges into god-rank powerhouses."
"There was not a single sess. Even the most ordinary practice of forging, such as forging with a thousand hammers, was beyond the ability of a god-rank expert in forging. And among the genius forgers, none could be a god-rank expert after reaching the level of god-rank forging. This was because when they reached god-rank forging, they would suffer some damage from the thunder tribtion, not just to their bodies, but even their spiritual consciousness. Moreover, if they spent more time cultivating during the soul-forging stage, they might eventually be god-rank experts, but they would not be able to break through to the level of a god-rank cksmith. In short, the prerequisite for a soul master to be a god-rank cksmith is that they cannot be a god-rank expert, because a god-rank expert cannot attract thunder tribtion, or, if they do attract thunder tribtion, it would be aimed at themselves, rather than the metal they are forging."
Lan Xuanyu understood somewhat. A god-rank cksmith needed to reach that level before bing a god, but after bing a god, they would suffer from thunder tribtion and be unable to evolve further. This was a question he would have to ask Uncle Leter, why it was like this.
Meng Fei continued, "So, as the development of divine-level metals progressed, their only use was to manufacture Battle Armor or the most advanced mechs. They can''t be energy sources. The highest-end energy source in the Federation is a Positive Cirction Source Soul Circuit made of soul-forged metal."
"The divine-level core we Tang Sect manufactured became a unique item and also an internal secret. Our predecessor scientists studied what use this kind of core had. The energy contained within it is even a thousand times greater than that of soul-forged metal! It''s such a waste not to use it."
After undergoing the baptism of thunder tribtion, the metal is sublimed, just like when us soul masters ascend to godhood. After the transformation, the metal itself has already transformed into a living being and an energy body. The source core was equivalent to merging all of this together, even to the extent of sacrificing the life of a divine metal. What was contained inside became violent. In other words, a divine source core had emotions. Therefore, it waspletely uncontroble and could not be used as an energy source. Therefore, after continuous research and development, we discovered that although a divine source core can not be used as an energy source, it can be used as a weapon. However, divine metal is too difficult to forge and has its own life. Using it to create weapons is contrary to the natural course of life. Therefore, afterpleting the research back then, the Tang Sect ancestors discussed and decided to seal this technology and no longer produce any Gods Wrath. Therefore, the 36 Gods Wraths you see now are already out of production, and using one means there is one less. This is the technological crystallization of 7,600 years of blood and sweat.
Chapter 955: Get Out!
Chapter 955: Get Out!
TL: BluVerse
Lan Xuanyu eximed in surprise, "So, these thirty-six Gods Wrath devices were created 7,600 years ago?"
"Yes, and as long as theyre not triggered, they remain stable. The method of using them is also quite unique, perfected through countless experiments by our scientists. Arent these god-level source cores known to have emotions? Emotions like reluctance and anger. Once they transform into source cores, these emotions be the autonomous emotions of Gods Wrath. We can''t let the energy vent out, as that would cause Gods Wrath to explode, but we found a way to release the emotions. So, if the users spiritual power reaches at least the Spirit Abyss level, and uses god-level metal to guide the emotions within Gods Wrath, these emotions will be released. The guiding god-level metal must be pre-connected to calm the emotions released by Gods Wrath and promise to reforge the god-level body in the future, allowing it to be reborn. This way, Gods Wrath willpletely obey the guide and can be detonated at any time."
Lan Xuanyu was stunned. "Is it really thatplicated?"
"No, not at all. In fact, all you have to do is hold the god-level metal we provide, touch it to the surface of Gods Wrath, and use your spiritual power to tell it when to explode. The god-level metal only needs to be in contact for thirty seconds. The metal we provide will persuade it."
At this moment, Lan Xuanyu felt like his eyes were opened to a new world. Gods Wrath was clearly a super bomb, yet its detonation method was so peculiar.
"Gods Wrath is the purest form of explosive power. Its st radius covers a diameter of 10,000 meters, and the explosions intensity generates a terrifying shockwave. Essentially, within this range, its equivalent to the full force of a god-level expert between level one hundred and one hundred ten. Every corner within this range will experience the same force. Not even a battleships shield can withstand it; it would be torn apart. Its power is about a hundred times that of the original God-ying soul-guided fixed ammunition."
Lan Xuanyu gasped, "So, isnt it more powerful than an antimatter missile?"
"Theyre not in the same league. Antimatter missiles cant break through a battleships defenses. Plus, antimatter missiles are muchrger. Most importantly, Gods Wrath has a special feature we call Divine Radiance. When Gods Wrath explodes, theres an absolute safe zone with a three-meter diameter at the center of the st. This means that when Gods Wrath explodes outward, the very center is safe. So, if you encounter an unbeatable enemy, detonate iteven if you''re holding it in your hand, you wont be harmed. Only those outside the three-meter radius, within the ten-kilometer st zone, will be affected."
"Is that even possible?" Lan Xuanyu was utterly shocked. Truly, this was the crowning achievement of the Tang Sects scientists! This thing could even protect its wielder?
"Gods Wrath is a conscious forbidden weapon. It protects the center because it needs to ensure the holder survives to help it be reborn. This isnt something any technology can achieve. Therefore, after using Gods Wrath, you must immediately return the god-level metal so we can handle the re-forging of Gods Wraths body. Of course, the safest way is to set a timed explosion and move out of the st range of ten kilometers, just in case. This thing hasnt been used in thousands of years. If that absolute safe three-meter zone doesnt work, youll be in serious trouble."
"Uh-huh." Lan Xuanyu nodded repeatedly. Both Meng Fei and Tang Miao noticed that, at this moment, the boy was staring at the thirty-six Gods Wrath devices in front of him with a look of utter fascination. His already beautiful big eyes seemed to be glowing, and his face was filled with infatuation.
Cough, cough, is it really right to give this to him? I dont think the boss knows how daring this kid is, Tang Miao whispered to Meng Fei.
Meng Fei coughed, I understand the bosss intentions. Having this child carry a forbidden weapon is partly to ensure his safety. But its also to let the military and the Federation know that hes one of us at Tang Sect, and that he has our full support. Anyone who wants to mess with him has to think twice about thebined strength of Tang Sect and Shrek Academy. Let him use it, as long as he keeps himself safe.
Ding, ding, ding. Just then, they noticed Lan Xuanyu tapping on the protective shield.
The sound startled both of them. Meng Fei said, What are you doing?
Lan Xuanyu asked, Hall Master, how do you open this? I want to pack up these Gods Wrath devices! Dont worry, the space inside my Ring of Fate is very safe.
Pack them up? Youre nning to take them all? Tang Miao looked at him in shock.
Huh? Arent they all for me? Lan Xuanyu was also confused.
Meng Feis mouth twitched, resisting the urge to smack the boy. Youve got some nerve, thinking theyre all for you. Do you even know the value of these things? Are you nning to blow up the home? Take them all, indeed. Youre allowed to take one Gods Wrath.
Only one? Thats too little. What if I run into several strong enemies in a row? Lan Xuanyu blinked. How about giving me ten? I promise I wont misuse them.
Dont even think about it. Tang Miao couldn''t hold back and pped Lan Xuanyus hand away from the shield.
Lan Xuanyu furrowed his brows and said, But if I use it up, I wont have anywhere to get more. Five, how about five? I think that might barely be enough for the time were with the military.
Meng Fei suddenly felt that Tang Miaos earlier concern was spot on, and he quickly said, Xuanyu, theres something you need to understand first. We brought you to the forbidden arsenal and allowed you to use these not for you to go around killing enemies, but for self-protectionas a safeguard.
Yes, I understand, Hall Master. But at least give me three. Ill need at least three, right? I dont even know how long this mission will take. Lan Xuanyu blinked his big eyes. This time, Teacher Nana wont be with me to protect me. I have to rely on myself for everything. I brought back such important informationst time, and if the Heavenly Dragon from the Dragon Horse Gxy finds out Im still alive, they mighte to kill me. One device would only allow me to escape once, which definitely wont be enough!
Meng Fei closed his eyes for a moment and, after hesitating, said, Alright, three it is.
Thank you, Hall Master! Lan Xuanyu was overjoyed, and under the watchful eyes of Meng Fei and Tang Miao, he moved toward another metal tform nearby. "So, whats next? Whats this one?"
Tang Miao and Meng Fei exchanged nces, and Tang Miao said, What do you mean, whats next? Isnt Gods Wrath enough?
Lan Xuanyu looked innocent as he replied, Just now, the Hall Master said that Gods Wrath was developed by our Tang Sect 7,600 years ago. So it must be the weakest one here, right? Gods Wrath doesnt truly showcase the real power of our Tang Sects weapons. There are so many other forbidden weapons here, dozens of them. Its such a rare opportunity; wont you introduce them to me, Hall Master? At worst, Ill just ask for a little of each one. What do you think?
Get out! Meng Fei and Tang Miao said almost in unison.
Half an hourter, Lan Xuanyu stood outside the main gate of Tang Sects headquarters, looking a bit dejected as he rubbed his nose. So stingy, I was just a little greedy. They actually kicked me out.
Yes, he had been kicked out. Meng Fei and Tang Miao, who hadnt lost their temper in who knows how many years, still ended up throwing him out. In fact, from Lan Xuanyu, they felt a sense of danger.
Since learning about Lan Xuanyus identity, Meng Fei had even discussed with Tang Miao the possibility of, once Lan Xuanyu grew up and became truly powerful, considering him as a future candidate to inherit the position of Hall Master of the Battle Hall, as a way topete with Shrek Academy for talent.
Chapter 956: Gods Protection
Chapter 956: Gods Protection
TL: BluVerse
He had already given up on the idea. Who knew what this kid might do if he got hold of the forbidden arsenal.
This kid seemed to have an unusual passion for immensely powerful forbidden weapons.
Although Lan Xuanyu had been kicked out, his Ring of Fate now contained three glowing yellow orbs of "God''s Wrath," a piece of separately stored divine-grade metal, and a pendant.
The pendant''s core was also crafted from divine-grade source material, but it was one of Tang Sect''stest technological marvels. It couldn''t generate immense destructive power, but it could instantly release a powerful defense. With a defense range of ten meters in diameter, once activated, it would create a protective shield centered on Lan Xuanyu''s body with a ten-meter radius. The shield couldst for a minute, and its defensive strength was equivalent to that of a Dragon King-ss escort ship. Even an eleventh-level powerhouse couldn''t break through the shield of a Dragon King-ss escort ship. Even a super god-level powerhouse would need time to break it from the outside. In other words, it was essentially an invincible shield.
This could be used three times.
Were Meng Fei and Tang Miao really stingy with Lan Xuanyu? Of course not. The value of this invincible shield pendant alone exceeded that of thirty-six orbs of God''s Wrathbined. So far, only three of these pendants had been made by the entire Tang Sect. It was called "God''s Protection." This meant that even when Lan Xuanyu used God''s Wrath, he could remain safe with the defense of God''s Protection, even without the three-meter shield of God''s Wrath. God''s Protection could also be activated reactively; when powerful external energy pressure was detected, it would automatically trigger.
Although Lan Xuanyu didn''t know the exact value of God''s Wrathbined with God''s Protection, he could guess that it was beyond mary measurement. Its value was just too high.
He didn''t bring back much, but Lan Xuanyu''s goal was already fully achieved. With the three orbs of God''s Wrath, which were weapons of mass destruction, there were countless things he could do.
Even on his way back to the academy, his mind was still filled with images of the forbidden arsenal. There were so many valuable items inside, and he didn''t know what they were used for. The God''s Protection around his neck was taken from the deepest part of the arsenal. Clearly, the items inside the forbidden arsenal were arranged by their importance. He really wanted to know what those items were for! That blue bottle must be even more powerful than God''s Wrath.
It wasn''t until nightfall that Lan Xuanyu''s mind gradually settled down. He entered the meditation room, ready to meditate and train.
What he needed most now was to improve his cultivation and strive to break through to higher levels as soon as possible. No matter how powerful a weapon was, it was still external. Only by bing strong oneself can one truly be powerful.
The scene of Tang Wulin transforming into a giant dragon thousands of meters long to rescue Nana on the surface of a star left a profound impression on him. It made Lan Xuanyu realize that when personal strength reaches a certain level, it can indeed rival technology.
Just then, Lan Xuanyu''s soulmunicator rang.
The call was from Tang Zhenhua.
"Teacher Tang," Lan Xuanyu answered the call.
Tang Zhenhua''s voice came from the other side, "Tomorrow morning, log into Douluo World."
"Ah?" Lan Xuanyu was a bit surprised. "Is it the space version or the regr version?"
"The regr version," Tang Zhenhua replied.
Lan Xuanyu asked curiously, "Teacher Tang, haven''t we already graduated?" They had already graduated from the outer court, and logically, they should either be heading to the military or the inner court. What was the point of logging into Douluo World?
Tang Zhenhua exined, "This is a crash course. You will soon be going to the military, where you''ll be executing missions in the dangerous Dragon Horse Gxy, specifically with the Seventh Fleet that youve seen before. There, you will encounter very powerful opponents. Since you were just students before and have never actually been on the battlefield, the academy has decided that its necessary to test and crash-train yourbat skills. The battlefield is no child''s y; often, its a matter of life or death."
"Understood." Lan Xuanyu confirmed the time. A crash course inbat skills? It was more about the mindset of killing, wasn''t it?
In terms of ability, their graduation from the outer court already spoke volumes, but when it came to killing enemies, the mindset was the real hurdle to ovee.
This was something that even the Seven Sacred Abyss couldn''t instill.
After a night of meditation, early the next morning, Lan Xuanyu logged into his simtion pod at the designated time. He hadnt entered Douluo World for quite a while.
The hatch closed, and shortly after, lights flickered, and he was scanned into Douluo World.
Soon, he saw his ssmates at the gathering spot.
"Boss!" Qian Lei greeted him with a big smile and gave Lan Xuanyu a bear hug. Everyone else was there too, and seeing Lan Xuanyu, they all seemed very excited.
While they didn''t know the identities of Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena, they were aware that Teacher Nana had been rescued. She was their savior, after all! Moreover, they had all been admitted to Shrek Academy''s inner court without the usual requirements, which was fantastic news, especially for those with weaker cultivation levels. It was something they had never dared to dream of before.
So now, the whole ss was in high spirits. Just looking at them, Lan Xuanyu could feel their excitement.
Before Tang Zhenhua arrived, Lan Xuanyu pped his hands, drawing everyone''s attention to him.
"The academy''s crash course isn''t without purpose. They say it''s to train ourbat skills, but it''s more about our mindset when facing enemies. Soon, we''ll be heading to the Seventh Fleet, joining the military, and bing soldiers. Soldiers have many qualities, and even though we''re joining temporarily, it''s important to be mindful of this. Once we''re in the military, we''ll be facing real warfare, and on the battlefield, theres no room for mercy. So, please, everyone, stay strong."
"Boss, don''t worry. It''s just killing enemies, right? We won''t have any issues killing aliens," Qian Lei said with augh.
Lan Xuanyu nced at him and noticed that most of the others shared a simr mindset to Qian Lei''sexcited, eager, with smiles on their faces.
With a sigh, Lan Xuanyu gave everyone a meaningful look and said, "I hope your excitementsts for a while."
He could notice the problems, so there was no way the academy wouldn''t. Currently, the mindset of Thirty-Three Sky Wings was a bit offthey were overly excited and didn''t have a clear understanding of what it meant to join the military. Moreover, Lan Xuanyu had long since realized that his ssmates were overly dependent on him.
Previously, in order to help the entire ss get into the inner court together, he hadn''t intentionally tried to control this dependency, but now that they were in the inner court, things were different. The inner court''s future learning process would certainly not be easy, and just getting in didn''t guarantee they would graduate. There were still many challenges they would face in the future. So, it was necessary to give them some "reminders" while they had the chance.
Therefore, he didn''t warn everyone that the uing crash training might not be so simple. They needed this kind of toughening.
At that moment, Tang Zhenhua arrived.
Today, Teacher Tang looked particrly spirited. His hair was cut short and stood up straight, and his expression was cold, giving him a somewhat iron-blooded military demeanor.
Lan Xuanyu took the initiative to approach him. "Teacher Tang."
"Mm. All of you, follow me," Tang Zhenhua said, then turned around and started walking.
Everyone quickly followed, trailing behind him. By this time, the sharper ones had already sensed that something was off about the atmosphere.
Ding Zhuohan caught up from behind and nudged Lan Xuanyu. When Lan Xuanyu turned his head to look at him, Ding Zhuohan gave him a questioning look. Lan Xuanyu shrugged, indicating that he also didnt know the details of the training.
Chapter 957: Blood-colored Gate, Terrifying Trial
Chapter 957: Blood-colored Gate, Terrifying Trial
TL: GoldenLung
Lan Xuanyu actually wanted to ask, "Aren''t you Teacher Tang''s own son? How would I know?"
Ding Zhuohan blinked his eyes, suddenly feeling a sense of foreboding. Since acknowledging this father he had never known for many years, he had been following him closely! But today his attitude seemed a little off! He didn''t even nce at him.
But most people had not yet realized the problem, and they all seemed excited. They were looking forward to the life in the Inner Court and military service that was about toe.
At this moment, Qian Lei was chatting with Liu Feng with pride. "Crazy, our Sky Fighter points can be exchanged for military merits. It should be quite a lot. I think bing a Major is the minimum, maybe even a Lieutenant Colonel. We will be officers in the future!"
Liu Feng nced at him and said, "What''s the use? Actually, I hope to start from scratch, starting as an ordinary soldier."
Qian Lei waved his hand and said, "That''s impossible. We are graduates of Shrek Academy, the elite. My abilities won''t be allowed to start from scratch! Have you ever seen a Soul Sage starting from scratch? Hahaha. In the future, I will be a man who reaches the level of a god."
"Your eyes are about to pop out of your head. Shut up," Lan Mengqin said irritably and kicked him.
Qian Lei chuckled and rubbed his head. "Wife, can''t I be happy? Teacher Nana was rescued, and finally we can breathe a sigh of relief. I''ve been in a great moodtely! By the way, if we join the army this year, we may not be able to make it to the Sea God Fated Blind Date Festival. When wee back, I''ll confess my love to you again at the festival. I''ve heard that our academy''s Sea God Fated Blind Date Festival is very interesting."
"Who''s your wife? Shut up!" Lan Mengqin kicked him again, blushing.
Qian Lei chuckled and leaned over to her. No matter how Lan Mengqin punched and kicked him, he wasn''t upset at all, and his face was full of happiness.
Since he had helped Lan Mengqin solve his mother''s life force problem, there had indeed been some progress in their rtionship, even though she still often spoke harshly to him on the surface. However, in reality, Lan Mengqin didn''t resist when Qian Lei asionally hugged her or anything like that. This made Qian Lei feel so happy that he almost felt like he could fly. Especially after graduating smoothly, this sense of happiness only increased, and he now felt like a winner in life!
Just then, Tang Zhenhua, who was walking at the front, stopped in his tracks, and only then did Qian Lei realize that they had been led into a small alley. In front of Tang Zhenhua was a door that was strangely colored dark red. At first nce, it gave the feeling that blood was flowing down the door.
Tang Zhenhua took out something and stuck it on the door. The dark red door then opened silently. A faint chill seeped out from inside the door, causing even the leading Lan Xuanyu and others to shiver involuntarily.
Tang Zhenhua did not allow them to enter directly, but turned around to face the Thirty-Three Sky Wing as he said, "When you enter this door, each of you will be transported to a separate location for the trial. There are no teams, no mechs. The only thing you can rely on is yourself. You will face all kinds of enemies. The method to pass the trial is simple: when you have killed ten thousand people, you cane out. If you can''t kill enough, you can''te out. By the way, I want to remind you that there is controversy within the academy because you all entered the Inner Court together, and it is believed that your assessment was not selective enough. Therefore, if anyone cannot sessfullyplete the trial and instead suffers a mental breakdown and withdraws from the trial, they will not be allowed to enter the Inner Court. Okay, let''s go in now."
The people who were still happy in the back were suddenly stunned after hearing Tang Zhenhua''s words.
Wasn''t this supposed to be an intensive training session? How did it turn into a trial? And, if one fails, one would be eliminated and could not enter the Inner Court?
"Teacher Tang, is this true? Haven''t we already been allowed to enter the Inner Court? Why are we still being assessed?" Qian Lei couldn''t help but ask.
The other students beside him had the same expression.
Tang Zhenhua coldly snorted, "Do you think that entering the Inner Court guarantees your ce? Let me tell you the truth, there is also a high elimination rate within the Inner Court. Entering the Inner Court does not mean you will definitely graduate from it. This is your first assessment since entering the Inner Court. Those who fail will be eliminated. Thepletion time of this trial will determine your evaluation in this assessment, as well as the kind of position you will have in the military in the future. You will still be dispersed during the trial of the Seventh Fleet and will not be together. Now, begin. Anyone who does not enter within one minute will be deemed to have given up."
As they listened to Tang Zhenhua''s icy voice, everyone felt like they had just been sshed with cold water. The first trial in the Inner Court had arrived so suddenly. Although the Douluo world was only a simted time and not real, if they were eliminated, all their previous efforts would be in vain.
Lan Xuanyu didn''t say anything else, he didn''t even cheer on his teammates. He was the first to step into the blood-red gate and disappeared inside.
He couldn''t help his ssmates forever. Everyone had to walk their own path. He had done everything he could. Entering the Inner Court and being able to stay depended on their own abilities. This trial was even more important in testing their individual abilities and willpower.
At this moment, he couldn''t help others. Everyone had to rely on themselves to get through it.
"Kill ten thousand people! A horrifying trial!"
The second person to enter was Tang Yuge, her expression was calm, even a little indifferent. She strode in without any hesitation. Ever since her background was revealed, her emotions had not been very good, including during the graduation exam before. After the graduation exam ended, she didn''t even go back home. Because she didn''t know how to face them.
The others walked in one after another. Some of them had already understood the situation and their expressions became calm. Others were still in a somewhat confused state. However, they all realized that this trial was probably not going to be easy.
Tang Zhenhua watched all the students enter the gate before he closed the bloody gate and his icy expression returned. He muttered to himself, "The academy is harsh! They actually let these children participate in the Blood Trial. This should only happen after one or two years of study in the Inner Court. It seems that their mission to the front line won''t be easy. The Blood Trial doesn''t belong to the Douluo World itself, to be precise, ordinary people cannot enter this ce through simtion pods because it is too difficult for them and can easily cause psychological trauma. It was developed by researchers from Shrek Academy and Tang Sect, specifically as an add-on that hangs in an area within the Douluo World. Only personnel approved by Shrek Academy and Tang Sect can enter.
In fact, major forces also had their own exclusive areas like this, and as long as they paid a certain fee to the federation, they would be able to keep them.
In fact, the Douluo World itself was a source of huge profits for the Federation. After Tang Zhenhua sent them in, he quickly left the Douluo World and went straight to Ying Luohong''s office.
At this point, many people had already gathered in the office. If Lan Xuanyu were here, he would have found that he only knew a few of these people, and most of them he didn''t recognize.
Among them were Wang Tianyu, Ying Luohong, Xiao Qi, and Tang Zhenhua, all of whom were known to Lan Xuanyu and his group, while the rest were all new faces to them. Undoubtedly, these people all came from the Inner Court of Shrek Academy.
Chapter 958: Bloodsong Blade
Chapter 958: Bloodsong de
TL: GoldenLung
Therge screen on the wall of Ying Luohong''s office was showing images of the Star Wars experimental ss students undergoing the Blood Trial. They could observe any student''s trial and interrupt it immediately if any special situation urred.
However, Tang Zhenhua had not been bluffing the Star Wars experimental ss before. If any student failed the Blood Trial this time, they would be eliminated for real. As Lan Xuanyu had anticipated, the Blood Trial was not only a test of their strength but also a test of their willpower.
They had already gone through a character assessment in the graduation exam, but willpower was highly valued in the Inner Court. After a Soul Master''s cultivation reached a certain level, they often needed to take some risks to continue breaking through and improving. The better the student''s talent, the greater the risk. This was very evident from the situation Lan Xuanyu encountered when he was breaking through.
Thus, willpower became a top priority. When breaking through, the strength of ones willpower could determine sess or failure. A soul master with strong willpower, even if their talent was weaker, was likely to go further. Of course, the students of Shrek Academy were all talented, but willpower often could not be determined by talent alone. It required countless experiences to enable them to go further.
The performance of the Star Wars Experimental ss in the Outer Court for six years was stunning,pleting many tasks that Outer Court disciples could not aplish. However, the teachers of the Academy also saw very clearly that in order to achieve this level, Lan Xuanyu and those highly talented students yed a major role, and the Star Wars Experimental ss turned them into a whole, with all actions being collective actions.
This was certainly a good thing for a team, but it was not necessarily a good thing for individual growth.
As the leader, Lan Xunyu naturally underwent a great deal of training, but his significant contributions would inevitably lead to other students depending on him.
Therefore, after these students were approved to enter the Inner Court, the Inner Court teachers discussed that the first issue to address was the students'' dependence on Lan Xuanyu. A united team would only be truly powerful if each individual became even stronger, and then came back together as a team.
The Inner Court had already decided to admit them, with the readiness to cultivate their team into talented individuals. The first thing to do was to make each of the 33 Sky Wings be stronger. Only then would theirbined strength be even greater.
The Blood Trial was a test, and those with weak willpower were certain to be eliminated in this trial. This meant that they had relied too much on the collective during the graduation exam and other assessments before, and their personal strength was not sufficient to continue to move forward with the collective.
As Tang Zhenhua said, entering the Inner Court did not mean that one could rest easy. In fact, thepetition in the Inner Court would be even more intense. Excellent people would be even better, while those who constantly fell behind would be eliminated and could only leave in disappointment.
This was also why the number of disciples in the Inner Court of Shrek Academy ws so small, but every disciple who graduated from the Inner Court of Shrek Academy was undoubtedly one of the top talents in the federation today. However, they would not be recruited by major forces and would only choose to stay in Shrek or Tang Sect.
"Teacher, who should we look at first?" Ying Luohong asked Wang Tianyu.
Wang Tianyu replied, "Let''s start with a regr student, randomly choose one."
"Sure."
Ying Luohong answered and pressed the control button to randomly select. Soon, a figure appeared on the screen.
It was a student who looked a bit thin and weak, not like an adult who had already exceeded the age of eighteen, but rather looked a bit short, only like a fourteen or fifteen year old.
Even Xiao Qi and Tang Zhenhua, who were the ss teachers, had to look carefully to recognize who he was. This child in the ss really didn''t have much presence. His abilities were also in the middle and lower levels.
"He is called Tan Xiaodao. His martial soul is the Bloodsong de. He is in the middle and lower level in the ss. A six-ringed, second-level Battle Armor Master." Xiao Qi reported to Wang Tianyu.
"Okay, let''s see how he performs." Wang Tianyu nodded.
Xiao Qi and Tang Zhenhua exchanged a nce, both feeling a bit nervous. The top ten students in the ss, including the seven from the Lan Xuanyu team and others like Ding Zhuohan and the Bing Tianliang trio, were all present. However, Tan Xiaodao was definitely not among them. This child was usually very low-key and didn''t seem to work very hard in cultivation. To put it simply, he went with the flow.
Xiao Qi was really worried. If this kind of student''s performance was not good enough right from the start, it would leave a bad impression on the internal teachers present and be detrimental to the overall situation of the 33 Sky Wings.
The Inner Court teachers didn''t say anything and all eyes were focused on Tan Xiaodao.
At this moment, Tan Xiaodao was walking on a corridor that was about three meters wide but seemed to have no end. The front of the corridor was pitch ck, and there were dim red halos on the walls on both sides.
He walked forward cautiously, looking around from side to side. He moved quietly, as if afraid of stepping on something.
He didn''t even release his martial soul, looking around from time to time. The only thing that made the teachers curious was that the child''s face was always smiling, and it was an excited smile.
Tang Zhenhua even wondered if the child had not yet recovered from the excitement of passing the graduation exam.
Any teacher will inevitably have some bias in the teaching process, at least in their hearts. Excellent students would inevitably receive more attention.
ording to Tang Zhenhua''s memory, Tan Xiaodao''s ability in star warfare was ranked second or third from thest in the ss, near the bottom. If he were to evaluate him, Tan Xiaodao would definitely not qualify to enter the Inner Court.
At this moment, a shadow quietly appeared behind Tan Xiaodao. This position happened to be his blind spot in his field of vision, and coupled with the cover of dark areas, Tan Xiaodao seemed to have not noticed the other party at all.
Just then, the shadow moved, its speed incredibly fast, like a ghostly figure pouncing towards Tan Xiaodao from behind.
Meanwhile, Tan Xiaodao was poking his head forward, looking ahead, seeming to have no sense of the attacking from behind.
Many teachers from the Inner Court frowned upon seeing this,menting on his poor vignce. They wondered if this child would fall in the hands of the first enemy?
Just as the dark figure was about to pounce on Tan Xiaodao, he suddenly moved. His movement was small, and it felt like his right shoulder had just shrugged back slightly.
A red lightning shed by, and with a "pu" sound, that ck figure had already been cut in half by a particrly even cut, splitting open from the top of the head all the way down to the crotch.
Blood spurted out, spraying Tan Xiaodao''s back.
Tan Xiaodao turned his head to look at the body lying on the ground, a pale-faced man dressed in all ck. At this point, he was naturally as dead as he could be, with a miserable appearance and arge amount of viscera already spilled out onto the ground.
He crouched down, his smile not diminishing but instead showing a few more shades of surprise. He reached out and touched the body, saying, "Wow, it''s still warm. The Douluo World really made it realistic. The feel of the organs is the same as that of a real person. Interesting!"
Of course, he didn''t know that his voice could be heard by the teachers.
At this moment, the previously furrowed-browed teachers in the Inner Court all showed looks of astonishment.
This child wasn''t afraid at all! Just now, that attack was extremely swift and clean, it seemed like he didn''t even need to release his soul ring before he had already killed the enemy with one sh. Although the enemy attack was only at around the four-ring level. But his killing blow was too clean, wasn''t it? Also, he seemed more interested in the corpse being alive. At this moment, Tan Xiaodao was carefully examining the heart of the corpse he had just picked up. He even licked the fresh blood on his hand to discern the taste and temperature.
Chapter 959: Devils Zither
Chapter 959: Devils Zither
TL: GoldenLung
Wang Tianyu couldn''t help but nce at Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi''s mouth twitched and he said, "I didn''t teach him that." He suddenly realized that he didn''t know his own student very well.
Ying Luohong smiled bitterly and said, "Teacher, I really picked randomly."
"Keep watching," Wang Tianyu said calmly. He still knew a lot about the Star Wars experimental ss and he knew for sure that there was no one among those outstanding students who was like the one in front of him.
Tan Xiaodao yed with the corpse on the ground for a while, wiped the blood on his hands on the clothes of the corpse, stood up and muttered, "This ce is good, I like this ce! Why didn''t the academy open it earlier?"
As he spoke, he no longer proceeded cautiously as before, but suddenly increased his speed and ran forward.
His speed of rushing forward was moderate, consistent with the speed of a six-ring Soul Emperor. Within the corridor, figures emerged quietly from the darkness. As he moved forward quickly, there were suddenly figures rushing towards him from all directions.
"Hehehe." Tan Xiaodao''sughter sounded, and in the next moment, the darkness around him bloomed like a blood-red rose. Blood-red sword energy burst out one after another. The ck shadows rushing towards him were instantly cut into two halves in a very uniform way, falling to the ground and staining it with blood almost instantly.
"tter, tter!" Tan Xiaodao made strange sounds with his mouth, as if he was providing voiceover for those fallen bodies, while bouncing and continuing to run inside.
"If this kid hasn''t already killed before, I''ll twist my head off and use it as a ball to kick. He''s too proficient in killing," said an old teacher from the Inner Court, unable to hold back.
A pale-faced female teacher standing beside him smiled and said, "It''s interesting. He''s from the Blood de n. This child must be quite exceptional in the Blood de n, which is why he was able to enter our academy, right?"
"Blood de?" Wang Tianyu looked towards her.
The female teacher nodded and said, "Yes, from the way he wields his de. You may not have heard of the Bloodsong de, but if I say Crimson Bloodsong de, you might recall it."
Wang Tianyu''s eyes lit up and he said, "ying evil in the world, avenging injustice, Crimson Bloodsong de? Those fanatics?"
"Yes, that''s them. They''re a group of somewhat paranoid lunatics, but they''re elusive and the Federation can''t do much about them. Later, they were said to have gone to Sin, where they continued to thrive. However, they were hunted down by the major powers on Sin and have been silent ever since. I never expected that there would be a sessor who joined our academy."
Wang Tianyu furrowed his brow and asked, "How is Tan Xiaodao''s record?"
"His record is normal. All of his psychological assessments were normal, but he had a tendency to hold grudges against evil people," Ying Luohong had already pulled up Tan Xiaodao''s record.
"Since he''s from the Bloodsongy de n, there''s no need to look any further. Let''s choose another one. How could the Bloodsong de n be afraid of killing people?" Wang Tianyu couldn''t help but chuckle. He didn''t reject the Bloodsong de Bloodsong. This group of people only killed evil people, although they determined what was good and evil themselves. That''s why they were not tolerated by the Federation.
Shrek Academy had always only epted monsters, and it was fine if they were a bit extreme and abnormal. As long as their character was okay, they could still be tolerated. If Tan Xiaodao had any problems, they would have manifested during his six years in the Outer Court.
Ying Luohong pressed the random selection button again, and a sh of light appeared, changing the screen.
"ng ng ng!" A sound like metal colliding echoed. An eerie golden light danced in the corridor, with blood sttering and pieces of flesh falling to the ground. Yes, just pieces of flesh, as there were no intact corpses.
It was a little girl, looking thin and small, with her left hand held out in front of her, firmly holding a dark golden guzheng. Her right hand yed on the guzheng, and with each stroke, a dark golden de shot out from the guzheng. She walked forward while ying, and even bounced and jumped around, singing a nursery rhyme.
"Lla,l, going to school, going home!" Her sweet voice,bined with the falling pieces of flesh around her, created a particrly impactful scene.
Even Luohong''s expression was somewhat strange this time. "Soul Weapon: Guzheng. This child''s name is Piao Xiaoxu."
"The Devil''s Zither was this the one that Tan Xiaodao got in with? The Bloodson de and Devil''s Zither, they really are a pair!" the female teacher couldn''t help but say, "Dean Ying, the Outer Academy really upholds the school motto of only epting monsters and not ordinary people!"
The Bloodsong de and Devil''s Zither were definitely a representative of monsters.
"Teacher, should we change to another one?" Ying Luohong tentatively asked Wang Tianyu.
"Um, let''s change it," Wang Tianyu''s expression was also a bit strange, as if there were some hidden talents in this Star Wars experimental ss.
Neither Tan Xiaodao nor Piao Xiaoxu were among the outstanding students. It seemed that they had been overshadowed by Lan Xuanyu and others. This solo operation, on the other hand, seemed to have given them a stage to show off.
The scene changed again, and this time, Wang Tianyu looked a little dissatisfied with the expression on Luohong Luo Hong''s face. The reason was simple: the new person who had juste in was none other than the leader of the Star Wars experimental ss, Head Wing, Lan Xuanyu!
"Teacher, can I switch again?" Ying Luohong was also a little tired. She really did randomly select.
"Don''t switch, let''s take a look at Lan Xuanyu. The teachers in the Inner Court are all interested in how he canmand the whole ss with just a five-ring level." Wang Tianyu also wanted to see Lan Xuanyu''s performance.
The teachers'' eyes were focused on Lan Xuanyu in the picture. At this time, Lan Xuanyu had been walking in the corridor for some time.
From all directions, even from above and below, figures would constantly emerge andunch attacks at him. Lan Xuanyu already understood before he came in that this trial was more of a test of their mental strength and an exercise of their abilities. Therefore, he was very serious.
The five soul rings hovered around his body, and after being concealed by the Treasure Seeking Beasts, they were now all white. Yes, they were just the white color of ten-year soul rings.
Lan Xuanyu didn''t know if anyone could see his assessment! Anyway, the color of the soul ring could be whatever he wanted it to be. The reason for choosing the white color of ten-year soul rings was because the lighting effect was better. It could make the surrounding light a little brighter
At this moment, there were six ck shadows rushing towards him from all directions like lightning, and arge number of sonic booms appeared in the air for a moment.
Lan Xuanyu stomped his right foot in front of him, and giant earthen spikes instantly pierced out of the ground. The six shadows hadn''t evene close to him yet, but they were already lifted up like skewered candied haws, and then engulfed by a yellow light and disappeared.
Lan Xuanyu put his hands in his pockets and walked steadily forward. He didn''t even need to look at these attackers. They were just too weak!
He now understood the true power of his spiritual power that he had reached the spiritual realm. In his spiritual perception, he could detect the enemy''s presence from wherever they appeared, and the elements he controlled would attack them instantly.
At the beginning, he was a little nervous, after all, Teacher Tang had made this assessment sound so serious. But soon he realized that those who attacked him were only at the level of around four-ring. Dealing with them seemed a bit simple.
The wind element bound in the air, the earth element pierced through, and then the earth element buried them.
It was so disgusting and bloody! But burying them with earth elements made it out of sight, out of mind.
His forward speed also began to increase continuously. As he walked, more and more figures were swallowed up by the blue and yellow light.
In the world of Douluo, various elements were very abundant, and it was veryfortable to invoke them. If it weren''t for fear of affecting the assessment of his ssmates, Lan Xuanyu would have wanted to unleash an elemental storm and see how much energy it could umte here.

Chapter 960: First Stage Cleared
960 C First To Pass

Outer Court Deans office.
"Who is he trying to deceive with these white soul rings?" A teacher from the Inner Court couldn''t help but ask, "His control over the elements is just like second nature. How much spiritual power does he have, Dean Ying?"
Ying Luohong said, "He should have traveled quite a distance in the Spirit Abyss realm."
"Spiritual power at the Spirit Abyss realm is indeed very strong, but the problem is, why can''t I feel his soul power consumption during thebat, as if he had a soul core?" the teacher continued to ask.
"I don''t know either," Ying Luohong looked at Xiao Qi, and Xiao Qi also shook his head repeatedly.
Wasn''t it? Left behind by Lan Xuanyu, the trails of defeated opponents had already reached hundreds. But he still looked rxed and at ease, releasing a simr amount of soul power each time, without any intention of conserving it. This was clearly something only a soul master with a soul core and above seven rings could achieve. He didn''t even need to use his Battle Armor to rely on its amplification.
Could a five-ring soul master possess such elemental control ability? Could the teachers in the Inner Court believe it?
"Keep watching," Wang Tianyu waved his hand.
The teachers quieted down, and Lan Xuanyu had already passed through the previous passage and arrived at a rtively spacious area.
In this wide space, a two-meter-tall man silently stood there, seemingly waiting specifically for his arrival.
The man had two purple and four ck soul rings hovering around him, indicating his cultivation level as a Soul Emperor with six soul rings. It was a stark contrast to the five white soul rings on Lan Xuanyu''s body.
The man held a heavy sword in his hand and wore jet-ck armor, a Battle Armor. His Battle Armor didn''t have wings and appeared to be a in one, but it was much thicker and had an impressive defensive capability.
"Hmph!" The man in ck armor snorted when he saw Lan Xuanyu. Suddenly, he took a step forward and stomped his left foot heavily on the ground. The earth shook with a deafening roar, and the powerful shockwave reverberated within the 30-meter radius of the space.
A gust of green wind surged towards his opponent from all directions, simr to his previous tactic of Wind Restraint.
The ck-armored man moved and behind him, ck mes seemed to spew out, propelling his body to dash towards Lan Xuanyu like lightning. He lifted the heavy sword in his hand and flicked it upwards, shing through the blue wind. At the same time, the third soul ring on his body flickered, and ayer of dark purple patterns appeared on the surface of the heavy sword. Vaguely, there was an eruption of dark aura in the air, incredibly sticky.
In this short period of time, he had already rushed to within five meters in front of Lan Xuanyu, and the heavy sword in his hand was about to strike down.
It was also at this moment that Lan Xuanyu took a step forward, and his body suddenly lit up, dazzling golden light even causing the watching teachers to feel a bit dazzled.
All the darkness was dispelled in an instant. When the picture on the screen became clear again, the teachers first saw the figure that had previously rushed towards Lan Xuanyu, because he was very tall, while Lan Xuanyu was standing in front of him.
The tall and massive ck-armored warrior held his heavy sword high in both hands, but his strike never came down. His entire body was emitting smoke, purple smoke. Then, Lan Xuanyu pressed his left hand against the warrior''s chest.
After retracting his hand, Lan Xuanyu calmly walked around the ck-armored warrior and continued down the corridor behind him. However, a hole had already been punched through the warrior''s chest armor at some point, and his entire ck armor began to swell. Apanied by a series of nging sounds, ice spikes burst out of his body and armor, like a huge ice flower.
His six-ring Soul Emperor wearing a One-Word Battle Armor was insta-killed!
This was a feat even a seven-ring Soul Saint might not be able to achieve.
His control over the elements
After identifying the opponent''s martial soul as the dark element, Lan Xuanyu unleashed the power of the light element, which restrained the opponent''s abilities and defense by countering the dark element. He shattered the opponent''s chest armor with his left hand, and the ice element prated, causing countless ice thorns to bloom inside the opponent''s body.
That was the process of the entire battle. How did he shatter the armor? When Lan Xuanyu pped it, his left hand was covered with scales, resembling a w.
In the next scene, Lan Xuanyu had already entered the back passage. Various elements kept appearing around his body, and any enemy that rushed out would perish in a short time. He moved forward step by step without any hesitation or pause. Killing these enemies seemed to him like a normal and simple task.
Willpower was never innate, it was constantly developed through postnatal training. Although Lan Xuanyu was young, he had experienced too much over the years. As the ss leader, he had to calmly face various situations and lead his teammates forward. But even with such strong willpower, he had copsed not long ago because of Nana''s fall in the stars.
Rescuing Nana and ultimately seeding was also a journey of self-improvement for him. At this moment, Lan Xuanyu only had one thought in his mind, which was to be stronger, strong enough to protect his family and teammates.
Only by defeating the enemy can he better protect those he wants to protect. Being merciful to the enemy was being cruel to himself. Under the influence of this firm willpower, he would not be affected at all.
"First level passed, seventeen people," Ying Luohong timely reported to Wang Tianyu.
The so-called first challenge was the six-ring ck-armored warrior that everyone had to face. So Lan Xuanyu wasn''t the fastest in his ss to pass this challenge. There were already more than ten people who had passed before him.
"Eighteen people, twenty people" more students were still passing this assessment. For students graduating from the Outer Court, this challenge was not considered difficult. It mainly tested their determination and will when facing enemies and killing them.
"Very soon," whispered one of the Inner Court teachers.
Tang Zhenhua looked at the Inner Court teachers and said, "Their willpower is stronger than you think."
The training in Star Wars had greatly helped the students'' willpower. Without strong willpower, how could they face the pain of controlling the soul mechas under overload every time? Being able to enter the simtion pod for soul mecha training again and again required strong willpower.
After witnessing the performances of Tan Xiaodao, Piao Xiaoxu, and Lan Xuanyu in session, Tang Zhenhua''s state of mind had stabilized. As the saying goes, "worry leads to chaos," he suddenly felt that he should trust this group of kids more. They were able toe this far not just because of Lan Xuanyu alone.
Was Lan Xuanyu''s contribution significant? Of course, it was. Not only was he of great help to his ssmates, but more importantly, he yed an exemry role.
Just like when he was piloting the soul fighter, he achieved the Super God Fifty-Eight rank. Naturally, all his ssmates would look up to him as a role model.
For ordinary pilots, their greatest dream in life might be to enter the top ten thousand in the entire federation. But for the Thirty-Three Wings, they didn''t feel anything even after entering the top ten thousand. Their ss leader was already in the double digits. Even if they entered the top one thousand, they still felt they had a long way to gopared to their ss leader.
In actualbat, why couldn''t we, who are five or six rings, do what the ss leader, who is only four rings, can do? The ss leader spent so much time crafting Battle Armors for us, would it be fair to him if we couldn''t graduate? Moreover, if the ss leader can do it, we could do it too.
When Liu Feng and Qian Lei first entered Shrek, what was their cultivation level? Now they have both broken through to seven-ring. How could the other ssmates take it easy?
Chapter 961: Is He Really Five-Ring?
Chapter 961: Is He Really Five-Ring?
TL: BluVerse
Shrek Academy offered great freedom in both learning and cultivation. Only the individuals themselves truly knew how much effort they had put in. The sess of the Star Wars experimental ss up to this point was inseparable from everyone''s hard work and perseverance.
The scene did not switch, but five minutester, all thirty-three students had passed the first challenge.
No one hesitated or faltered because of the need to kill. Not a single one.
Lan Xuanyu continued moving forward. At this point, he even closed his eyes. His pace was not fast, which was why he had fallen behind some of his ssmates. However, as he advanced, he constantly used his spiritual power to sense where his enemies would appear, then used his spiritual power to manipte the elemental forces to eliminate them. He waspletely fighting with his mind.
This sensation captivated him. The four basic elements naturally formed an Elemental Core, orbiting his Dragon Core, continuously replenishing his soul power consumption through their mutual reinforcement. As an Elementalist, it was incredibly easy for him to control the elemental forces, and his consumption was minimal.
Thebination of different elements became increasingly intricate under the guidance of his spiritual power. He had already forgotten where he was, as he immersed himself in the ocean of elements, just like his usual cultivation practice.
Gradually, the teachers noticed a faint circle of light flickering beneath Lan Xuanyu''s feet. At first, the glow was very dim, hardly noticeable under the illumination of the five white soul rings on his body. But as he kept advancing, defeating his opponents one by one, the light became more pronounced. Inside the halo, mysterious patterns flickered in and out of view.
A spiritual domain? Is he about to step into the Spirit Domain Realm? one of the teachers couldn''t help but ask.
The office fell intoplete silence. Everyone knew what the Spirit Domain Realm meant for a Soul Master. The Spirit Domain Realm was the foundation for stepping into the ranks of a Super Douluo, which was level ny-five or above. If the Spirit Domain could stabilize and the spiritual domain became strong enough, entering the Ultimate Douluo rank would be a certainty in the future.
Even Wang Tianyu, at the age of 18, had far from reached the level of the Spirit Domain Realm in terms of spiritual power. But Lan Xuanyu had done it.
At this moment, even Wang Tianyu couldn''t help but share the same thought as Tang Miao: he really picked the right parents! This kind of gic strength couldnt bepared withjust iparable!
Lan Xuanyu also increasingly felt as if something was emerging from his spiritual sea. Everything around him became clearer in his perception, and his body felt f, as if it was about to release something outward.
Step by step, he moved forward, merging with his surroundings. Suddenly, the tunnel opened up, revealing a massive space over 500 meters in diameter. In front of him, the area was crowded with people. Thousands of them.
They were all dressed in ck, each with different facessome were old, some were young, both men and women. They all held weapons in their hands and looked at Lan Xuanyu menacingly. In the next moment, like a tidal wave, they charged toward him.
The second trial of the Blood Test had arrived: The Sea of People!
The enemies here were not individually powerful, each ranging between three and four rings, but their numbers were in the thousands. Breaking through such a situation was no easy task. Even more importantly, the sheer amount of killing would affect anyone, even if this was only a simted world.
Around Lan Xuanyu, the elements surged, and any enemy who came within ten meters of him was instantly torn apart. For a moment, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the dense stench of blood became overpowering in the special environment.
The heavy scent of blood made Lan Xuanyu frown slightly, and it felt as though his sea of consciousness pulsed. A wave of violence, deeply ingrained in his bones, surged outward for an instant.
In that moment, it was as if the final barrier had been pierced, and the halo beneath Lan Xuanyus feet suddenly blossomed.
It was an invisible ring of light, but everyone could feel its presence. It was as though a call from the void had appeared. Even the teachers from Shrek Academys inner court, who were observing the battle, experienced a moment of emotional disorientation.
Mysterious patterns began to flow outward from beneath Lan Xuanyus feet, spreading to every corner. The brilliant glow flickered and disappeared in an instant. In the vast space, everything fell silent. It was as though time had frozen.
Lan Xuanyu extended his left hand, and from his palm, covered in silver scales, a silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass silently emerged. Blue, red, yellow, and greenthe four-colored lights swirled together, forming a vortex that began to grow in his palm.
Step by step, he moved forward, and the enemies frozen before him turned to ashes and vanished. The four-colored vortex in his hand continued to grow, and even as it obliterated his foes, it remainedpletely stable.
The qualitative leap in his spiritual power gave Lan Xuanyu greater control over his elemental storm, making it more stable, and even more terrifying!
Is his spiritual domain rted to time? one of the elder inner court teachers asked with difficulty.
There was no doubt that everyone knew space and time were the most difficult abilities to master, but also the most powerful.
All god-level beings, upon breaking through to that level, gained a certain understanding of space, allowing them to use spatial power to some extent.
Andpared to space, the power of time was even more mysterious, one of the deepest secrets of the universe.
Some had even said that thebination of space and time gave birth to the entire world.
Lan Xuanyus spiritual domain was connected to time? How could that not shock everyone?
The only one who remained calm was Wang Tianyu. Ever since rescuing Nana, he had returned and reviewed many historical records, especially those about the Golden Dragon Moon Song and Silver Dragon Dance Qilin.
ording to historical records, the spiritual domain of the Golden Dragon Moon Dance, Dragon King Douluo Tang Wulin, was called "Time Reversal," allowing time to turn back. It was incredibly powerful.
So, when Lan Xuanyus spiritual domain awakened with time-rted abilities, he wasnt surprised at all. After all, he had a powerful father! It was all determined by gics!
By this time, Lan Xuanyu had already reached the center of the open space, and the four-colored vortex in his hand had grown several timesrger, now raised above his head, with a diameter exceeding three meters. It continued to grow stronger, and the rate at which it increased was also elerating.
The surrounding enemies still couldnt move, their feet trapped within the glowing halos.
Time was frozen, and life withered!
Compared to Time Reversal, time freezing seemed slightly weaker. However, Lan Xuanyus time freezested longer depending on the strength of his opponents. The weaker the enemy, the longer they would be controlled by it. Additionally, his domain had destructive power, continuously consuming the life force of all enemies within its range.
At this point, he had only just acquired this powerful spiritual domain, and its current ability was limited to time freezing. The enemies he faced, though numerous, were vastly inferior in strengthpared to him. Moreover, this was the Douluo World, and these enemies were much weaker in spiritual power, barely stronger than ordinary people. How could they possibly awaken from Lan Xuanyus Time Decay domain?
The four-colored light finally erupted, and a terrifying storm descended, with Lan Xuanyus body at its center, tearing through everything around him, annihting everything in its path. Countless enemies vanished silently, swept away by the elemental stormthere were no screams, no bloodshed, only ashes scattered in its wake.
Is he really a five-ring? I wouldnt believe it even if you beat me to death, one of the inner court teachers couldnt help but say.

"Can an eight-ring Soul Master who controls pure elements, unleash such a powerful area attack?"
"If they charged up, they should be able to. That soul skill he just used must have taken a long time to prepare. An elemental storm is created by the four elementswater, fire, earth, and wind. This is a four-element boost, reminiscent of a Four-Element Martial Soul Fusion Skill, so the power increase is significant. His control over the elements is astonishing, and their intensity is extremely high. Could he be a Four-Element Master?"
"I think so too. His big move seems to take a while to charge, but if youbine it with his time-freezing type of spiritual domain, its a perfect match. Therge-scale destructive power is terrifying, especially when facing weaker but numerous opponentsits incredibly effective."
"No wonder he leads this ss. Even though he only has five rings, his overall strength is probably around eight rings, right? And thats just based on what weve seen so far."
"The scariest thing is that with five rings, he already has thebat strength of a normal eight-ring Soul Master. When he reaches eight rings, wouldnt he be able to ughter a god-level opponent?"
"Ahem, Master Wang, I didnt mean you!"
"Master, I also specialize in elemental control. I think this kid is promising. Let him be my disciple. Ill take him under my wing," said an elder teacher from the Inner Court with a white beard,ughing.
Wang Tianyu nced at him and said, "This child will not take any master."
"Second stage, passedone person." Ying Luohongs voice echoed.
Yes, earlier there had been more than a dozen people ahead of Lan Xuanyu, but he was the first to pass the second stage.
Thousands of peoplehe dealt with them in one move. By this time, he had already entered the passage leading to the third stage.
Lan Xuanyu didnt know how many stages the Blood Trial had. He only remembered Tang Zhenhua saying that he had to kill ten thousand people here. Although he hadnt been counting carefully, it felt like after thatst move, most of them should have been dealt with.
Using arge-area destructive soul skill to massacre, honestly, it reduced the psychological burden a little. After all, it ended in an instant, and there werent bodies scattered everywhere.
As he entered the third passage, he continued to probe with his spiritual power, but he was surprised to find that there were no enemies within his perception. However, an overwhelming pressure came at him from all directions, pressing down on him.
It was a pressure that made it hard for him to breathe, as if an immense force was invisibly crushing him, trying to grind him down.
With each step forward, the pressure grew stronger and stronger.
Gradually, the pressure shifted, no longering from all sides but instead pressing toward him from the front.
The enemy was ahead!
At this very moment, in the same Blood Trial, everyone was struggling through their most difficult second stage.
As Lan Xuanyu had previously thought, Soul Masters withrge-scale destructive soul skills had an easier time in this stage because they could kill quickly. In contrast, melee Soul Masters faced much greater psychological pressure in this stage.
A faint silver light flowed around Liu Feng''s body. His speed was incredibly fast, and when facing opponents with three or four rings, it was a one-sided ughter.
However, corpses piled up beneath his White Dragon King Spear, falling into spatial cracks. The entire world around him had turned blood-red, to the point that even his eyes had turned red.
The various negative emotions brought on by the ughter began to manifest gradually. A faint bloodthirsty aura started to surround him.
"Frenzy, stop for a moment, calm down." At that moment, a ribbon-like burst of silver light radiated outward from Liu Fengs body. Under the swirling silver light, arge number of enemies charging toward him vanished, swallowed by the cracked space.
A figure beside him became solid, and a pair of silver-haloed eyes gazed at his now-bloodshot ones.
The White Dragon King Spear in Liu Feng''s hand almost struck the figure that suddenly appeared in front of him, but he stopped just in time, his mind somewhat dazed.
"Sit down and rest. Calm your mind. You need to think of yourself as a general on the battlefield. The ones you face are enemies who wish to wipe out your entire n. Only by killing them can you protect yourrades and family. Only then can you continue forward with yourpanions."
The deep voice echoed in Liu Feng''s mind, and he gradually calmed down. He sat heavily on the ground, no longer paying attention to the surrounding enemies, and crossed his legs to focus and clear his mind.
The figure that appeared next to him, providing crucial help at that moment, was naturally his Spirit Soul, the Thorn Dragon. This was the advantage of having a true Spirit Soula genuine Spirit Soul carried with it the knowledge and experience of its past cultivation and could assist its Soul Master in critical moments. In this situation, fighting wasnt Liu Fengs main challenge; keeping his mind calm and avoiding being consumed by his bloodlust was the most important thing. With the Thorn Dragons guidance, passing this stage became much easier for him.
It wasnt just Liu Fengeveryone in this stage received help from their Spirit Souls.
Qian Lei was also in the second stage at that moment, though he had his hands over his eyes, mumbling, "Goldie, youre so disgusting."
Not far in front of him, the Golden Behemoth was wreaking havoc, not just killing but also eating.
It crunched as it ate
Around Qian Lei, enormous light gates opened one after another, and a dozen Behemoth Beasts had gathered around him. The destructive power of these ordinary Behemoths was far beyond what the three- or four-ring Soul Masters could handle. Moreover, as Qian Leis cultivation improved, the Behemoth Beasts he summoned became increasinglyrger, developing toward adulthood.
At this point, Goldie, the Golden Behemoth, stood over six meters tall. Its sharp ws spread wide, far more terrifying than even the Dark Gold Terrorw Bear. Its instinct was to kill, and no one was more excited than it in this Blood Trial. As it ughtered, its instincts grew stronger, and even Goldies body became more powerful. The blood in this ce was elerating its evolution.
In contrast, Soul Masters with group attack abilities had a rtively easier time in this stage.
Bai Xiuxiu was like this. Although the range of her "Withering of Death" wasnt asrge as the Elemental Storm, within the hundred-meter radius around her, no enemy could step inside. As she moved, enemies melted away, consumed by the Withering of Death. She didnt need to do anything; she just had to wait for the enemies to keep rushing into the Withering of Death and be annihted. All she had to do was maintain it. Having already formed her soul core, her continuously regenerating soul power ensured the strength of her ability.
The entrance to the third stage was right in front of her.
In the Blood Trial, the test of willpower actually ended at the second stage. As long as someone passed the second stage, they were considered to have passed the trial and would not be eliminated from the Inner Court. That was the rule. The third stage, however, was a test of strength for the participants.
Lan Xuanyu was the first to pass the second stage, so he was also the first to meet his opponent in the third stage. The space here was wide open, not asrge as the second stage but with a diameter of about 100 meters. The ceiling was about 20 meters high. In the center of this open space stood a single person.
Even though there was only one person, Lan Xuanyus expression became serious for the first time.
That person held a long spear and stood there as though he had merged with the entire world. More importantly, there were nine pitch-ck soul rings circling his body.
Nine ringsa Titled Douluo!
Yes, this was the challenge of the third stage of the Blood Trial: extreme suppression!
The purpose of this stage was to push the participants to their limits when facing a powerful opponent. ording to the Inner Court''s rules, victory wasnt required in this stage; the key objective was to be pushed to one''s extreme limits under pressure.
Generally, after one to two years of training in the Inner Court, disciples could reach the level of eight rings. While there was still a significant gap between eight rings and nine, it wasnt an instant defeat. Under the suppression of a nine-ring expert, the potential of an eight-ring Soul Master was most easily brought out.
Chapter 963: Jiayu
Chapter 963: Jiayu
TL: GoldenLung
In the Outer Court Deans office.
Therge screen had already shown several scenes of the second level in session. The students of the Star Wars Experimental ss had all reached this level and were fighting hard in it.
At this point, the teachers in the Inner Court had already seen what was happening. These children from the Outer Court were really amazing! Almost everyone had a real Spirit Soul helping them in battle, which allowed them to maintain their rity as much as possible in the Blood Trial. When they were soaked in their bloodlust, their Spirit Soul woulde out to protect them, giving them a chance to recover their senses. With the two working together, continuous killing was only a matter of time.
What surprised them was that none of the students showed any fear of killing. By the time they reached the second level and faced so many enemies, they all chose to attack.
This made the teachers in the Inner Court quite satisfied. If the graduates from the Outer Court were to falter when facing arge number of enemies, that would truly disappoint them.
Ying Luohong seemed to have thought of something and adjusted the screen to focus on a student.
Jiayu was already covered in a Two-Word Battle Armor, and he was also a six-ringed Soul Emperor, but he was among the students with the lowest cultivation level. He was one of the weakest in the ss. His strongest ability was actually the martial soul fusion technique hepleted with Li Han and Li Bin, Bright Moon On The Sea.
But the problem now was that he could only rely on himself. His martial soul was also quite unique, which was summoning marine creatures.
If he was in a ce with water, even if it wasn''t seawater, hisbat power could be greatly enhanced. If he was in the sea, even with only six rings of cultivation, hisbat power could surpass most of the people in the ss.
However, the Blood Trial had no water or ocean. The first thing he needed to maintain was the fighting environment of marine life, which greatly consumed his soul power.
More importantly, he was the only one in the ss who did not have a Spirit Soul.
Back in the Heaven Luo, only he and Lan Xuanyu did not obtain a Spirit Soul. His problem was that he could only choose one that waspatible with his martial soul, which could only be a marine creature. Although the soul beasts on the Heaven Luo were willing to follow Lan Xuanyu and his ssmates, there were no soul beasts of this type.
Even Li Han, whose martial soul was Tide, had a recognized soul beast, but Jia Yu did not. He had always been the weakest in terms of individualbat power in the ss.
Therefore, Ying Luohong adjusted the screen to his side to watch his challenge situation.
Based on the previous trial, the performance of the Star Wars Experimental ss was outstanding, demonstrating strong abilities. The expressions of the teachers present showed that they were satisfied with the trial. Therefore, Ying Luohong now needed to pay more attention to Jia Yu, who was most likely to encounter problems. Although Jia Yu possessed a fusion technique for his martial soul, his personal willpower also needed to be tested in this trial.
At this moment, Jia Yu did not venture into the second level. Instead, he was at the entrance position, where he was a little dumbfounded upon arrival.
Looking at the vast and endless number of enemies, he knew very well that he could not pass this level.
He had no assistance from a Spirit Soul, and his own soul core could not sustain long periods ofbat. Moreover, in this kind of environment, it was simply not suitable for his martial soul to perform. From any perspective, this ce was the most disadvantageous for him.
Therefore, when he arrived at the entrance, he was a bit stunned. He wasn''t afraid of killing, and he had walked with confidence all the way. His belief came from a simple idea, which was to cherish life.
Initially, he, Li Han and Li Bin were eliminated in the entrance exam. However, because their Bright Moon On The Sea soul fusion technique with Lan Xuanyu''s cooperation could produce a qualitative change, they were allowed to enter the school.
That moment was an absolute surprise for the three of them, especially for Jiayu.
He knew his own shorings best. From the day he entered school, Jiayu understood that he had the weakest strength in the ss. Although Lan Xuanyu had weak soul power, his talent far surpassed Jiayu''s, not to mention that Lan Xuanyu''s wisdom had already earned him the position of ss leader.
Being able to enter Shrek Academy, he had already be the pride of his entire family, and even of his hometown. He cherished this opportunity immensely. Every day, he quietly put in effort, without anyone knowing, and he never fell behind.
At level 65 of soul power, it wasn''t anything special in the Star Wars Experimental ss, where there were plenty of Soul Saints with seven rings. However, considering Jia Yu''s own talent, it was already something to be very proud of.
He was born in a small seaside vige, where the majority of awakened martial souls were ocean-type. They were called sea soul masters.
Even his ssmates didn''t know that Jia Yu was the first sea soul master in history to be admitted into Shrek Academy. Yes, the first one.
The limitations of Sea Soul Masters were immense. Within the ocean, their strength would multiply, making them much more powerful than Soul Masters of the same level. However, once they left the ocean, their cultivation would be greatly affected and weakened.
In fact, as humans began to explore the stars, the disadvantages of Sea Soul Masters became increasingly apparent. Not to mention a prestigious academy like Shrek, even other higher education institutions would not normally ept Sea Soul Masters.
In such a situation, Jiayu did not fall behind and even rushed to graduation with hispanions. It can be imagined how much he had to pay. Without the sea, his progress would be slower than everyone else''s, even slower than Lan Xuanyu''s. He used all of his Shrek badges to buy the qualifications to practice in the Sea God''s Lake. Lan Xuanyu and the others didn''t know that every time they practiced in the Sea God''s Lake, Jiayu was quietly cultivating nearby, immersed in the water. It was with the help of the Sea God''s Lake that his cultivation progress could keep up.
Therefore, Jiayu really cherished the opportunity to study and cultivate at Shrek Academy. Whenever he felt he couldn''t hold on any longer and was about to fall behind hispanions, he gritted his teeth and constantly reminded himself of how hard-won everything was. And every time he broke through a bottleneck and experienced the exhration of entering another level, he understood that everything he had put in was meaningful.
This feelingpletely immersed him, and he truly loved Shrek and everything about it.
He rarely spoke, even when he was with his closest friends Li Han and Li Bin, he just stood by and listened with a smile. But in his heart, his determination was never inferior to anyone else''s. He was very clear about what he wanted.
He was greatly impacted when he was able to enter the Inner Court this time. He never thought that one day he could enter the Inner Court of Shrek Academy. For him, this was definitely the most incredible thing. He was also the first sea soul master to be an Inner Court disciple! His inner cherish was magnified to an unprecedented level, and he had made up his mind that he would never leave the Inner Court, even if he died of exhaustion from cultivation.
Therefore, when Tang Zhenhua said that those who couldn''t pass today''s Blood Trial would be eliminated from the Inner Court, Jiayu''s eyes turned red. After entering the Blood Trial, he didn''t hesitate at all and fought his way through here.
However, when he saw the huge number of thousands of enemies in front of him, he understood that he probably couldn''t pass this level. Even with a strong willpower, if his strength didn''t allow it, he had no way to seed.
Chapter 964: Blood Sacrifice, Bloodthirsty Sea Spirits
Chapter 964: Blood Sacrifice, Bloodthirsty Sea Spirits
TL: GoldenLung
Around Jiayu, illusory lights and shadows emerged one after another. They were the appearances of sea soul beasts that blocked the enemy''s attack and guarded the entrance. Under the sea soul beasts'' tearing, the enemies were continuously torn into pieces.
Jiayu''s aura also began to change at this moment. Even the teachers who were watching the game in front of the screen seemed to feel a sense of determination and cruelty emanating from him.
A faint red halo began to appear on Jiayu''s body surface.
"What is this kid going to do?" Tang Zhenhua looked at Xiao Qi with some confusion.
Xiao Qi also shook his head with some confusion, "I don''t know either. Teachers, Jiayu''s ability is actually quite special. He is a rare sea soul master. He is very likely the first sea soul master in the history of our Shrek Academy. His abilities will be constrained when he leaves the environment of the sea. At the same time, he is also the weakest member of our ss in overall strength. But when he teams up with two other students, they can perform a three-in-one soul fusion skill that is powerful and extremely rare. It can also be amplified by the ss leader, Lan Xuanyu."
He said these words because Xiao Qi could also see that Jiayu would not be able to pass this level. But he never hoped that any of his students would be eliminated in today''s Blood Trial.
Everyone worked hard and finally got special approval to enter the Inner Court. If they were eliminated just like that, he could imagine how much of an impact it would have on the children''s hearts.
Jiayu''s efforts were all seen by him, because of his own talent and the problem with his martial soul, Jiayu had always been extremely hardworking.
"Let''s see what he can achieve," Wang Tianyu said lightly.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Wang Master''s meaning was clear. As long as Jiayu could demonstrate enough willpower, even if he couldn''t pass this test, there was still a possibility of not being eliminated. This was already a preferential treatment for the Star Wars Experimental ss.
The academy attached great importance to the Star Wars Experimental ss, and the most important thing was their unity.
Shrek Academy hds always been known for cultivating elite talents and top talents. However, in this cultivation process, these elite talents were usually individual heroes, and there were rarely strong team collectives. Even the Shrek Seven Monsters were only seven individuals. And when they became powerful, they also acted separately.
In the past, the Thirty-Three Wings were extremely exceptional in strengthpared to others of the same age, and their unity was outstanding. With such potential, their future development was practically boundless.
Furthermore, Tang Sect''s biological warships were bing more and more mature, and their greatest advantage was the need for fewer personnel. Discussions had already taken ce within Shrek Academy and Tang Sect, and it was highly likely that in the future, a powerful biological warship would be assigned to the Thirty-Three Wings as a representation of Tang Sect and Shrek Academy''s formidable strength.
Therefore, Wang Tianyu did not want anyone from among them to be eliminated in today''s Blood Trial.
At this moment, Jiayu on the battlefield began to change. The schrly aura emanating from his body became stronger and stronger, and there were even faint glimmers of light flickering. The blood-red aura spread outwards, and wherever it reached, his soul beasts became clearer and stronger as well.
A strange smile appeared on Jiayu''s face. At that moment, he looked somewhat ferocious. On the surface of his skin, there were bloody patterns appearing, as if blood vessels were about to burst out of his body.
This feeling was really creepy.
He slowly raised his right hand. Somehow, his right hand had already turnedpletely blood-red, almost transparently so. The blood-red color started to spread down from his palm, over his wrist, and gradually spread to his shoulder and continued downwards. His clothes began to shred, and even his battle armor was dyed the same color of blood.
In just a few seconds, he had turned into a blood-red entity, as if carved from a blood-colored crystal.
"Go die, all of you. Blood sacrifice, Bloodthirsty Sea Spirits!"
"Boom!"
Amidst the violent roar, Jiayu''s body, which had turned blood-red, exploded with a loud bang. Countless bursts of blood light erupted and instantly transformed into a sky-covering tsunami of shocking waves, the blood-colored waves madly rushing forward and sweeping over the entire Second Level.
In that sea of blood, one after another, the sea soul beasts crazily drilled out. They too had all turned blood-red, expanding to ten times their size within the bloody sea and frantically devouring all opponents in front of them.
At this moment, there was dead silence in front of the screen. All the teachers, upon seeing this scene, only had one feeling in their hearts: horror!
Even though this was in the Douluo World and there was no real death, a suicide attack from sacrificing one''s own body was still a terrifying sight.
In the history of Soul Masters, having such a Soul Master was very rare. Everyone was afraid of death, and they would subconsciously fear death. Only those who truly had no fear of death could possess such an ability.
In the distant past, during the same era as the Dragon King Tang Wulin, there were two powerful existences known as the Ruthless Douluo and the Passionate Douluo. They were both high-level members of the Tang Sect and possessed a powerful soul fusion technique that used their own lives as sacrifices.
It was with this soul fusion technique that they sealed a powerful abyssal ne, buying time for Tang Wulin, the Dragon King, to ultimately defeat the abyss.
And now, the ability that Jiayu had disyed was also one that required sacrificing his own life! This was no longer just a matter of willpower. Even the teachers were a little afraid that he would be crazy.
Wherever the Blood Sea Spirits went, it was truly a massacre. Those enemies who had previously blocked Jiayu were torn into pieces one after another, bing sacrifices to his technique. And as it continued to devour its enemies, the Blood Sea became even stronger and surged towards the entrance of the third level and crazily rushed inward.
Wang Tianyu had already instinctively sat up straight, his expression somewhat nk. If he had previously doubted the individual strength of these young people from the Thirty-Three Heavenly Wings, that doubt was now rapidly disappearing.
This was the weakest person among the Thirty-Three Heavenly Wings, yet the power he had unleashed was so terrifying.
At that moment, within the passage of the third level, a figure burst out and countless gunshots erupted. One by one, blood-colored sea soul beasts fell in the midst of the gunfire, but the blood sea seemed to have found a vent and surged forward, madly rushing towards that figure.
It was true that this ce was not suitable for Jiayu to fight, but when he released the blood sea spirits, he had formed a blood sea with his own blood as the cost. In this enclosed environment, the blood sea surged and would not dissipate at all. Facing any living being, it wouldunch indiscriminate attacks. Instead, this enclosed world greatly increased the strength of his technique.
If it was in an open terrain, the bloodthirsty sea spirits would gradually dissipate and spread outwards. But here, they had just devoured thousands of lives, and the bloodthirsty sea spirits had already grown to an extremely terrifying level.
Under the gaze of many teachers in the Inner Court, the figure brandishing the gun was eventually engulfed by the frenzy of bloodthirsty sea spirits.
Despite numerous sea soul beasts being killed one after another, even more sea soul beasts kepting.
Ten minutester, a strange sound came from Sakura Falling Red, "Third level, passed, one person."
Yes, he died. The powerful nine-ringed Soul Douluo expert died under the bloodthirsty sea spirits assault.
Chapter 965: Lan Xuanyu’s Battle
Chapter 965: Lan Xuanyus Battle
TL: GoldenLung
In the Star Wars Experimental ss, the weakest person was the first to pass. Even though he paid with his life, he used a powerful blood sacrifice soul skill to ovee the obstacles of the second and third levels.
"I''m going to check on Jiayu," Xiao Qi suddenly realized something and got up to leave. After releasing such a powerful blood sacrifice soul skill, even in the virtual world, his body and spirit would likely be affected, just like in the Ascending tform of the Spirit Pagoda.
"I''ll go with you." A teacher in the Inner Court who was skilled in healing followed Xiao Qi and quickly moved forward.
Not only the teachers in the Inner Court but also several Outer Court homeroom teachers from the other years came to observe this blood trial today. They all stood in rtively backward positions.
Regarding the ability of the Star Wars Experimental ss to enter the Inner Court as a whole, they were really dissatisfied. This meant that in the future, when the sses they taught graduated, the number of spots avable to enter the Inner Court would definitely decrease. It was precisely because of their dissatisfaction that the academy became aware and sent the Star Wars Experimental ss to the military for further testing.
At this time, the homeroom teachers were all silent and couldn''t say anything. They were too strong, really too strong!
Even the weakest-ranked Soul Master could release such decisive power. One feels all of the pain of dying in the Douluo world. In fact, in today''s blood trial, everyone''s pain was set to one hundred percent real. That was to say, if you were injured in it, it was no different from being injured for real. If you died, it was no different from really dying.
Jiayu obviously knew this and decided to release the Blood Sea Evil Spirit. This determination made everyone understand that even in the real world, his soul skill could be used when necessary.
How many people of his age had such determination?
And he was still the lowest ranked.
"Take a look at Lan Xuanyu''s side." Wang Tianyu said in a deep voice.
"Yes." The scene changed and returned to the cave, the third level.
When Lan Xuanyu faced the strong enemy in front of him, his first reaction was not fear, but excitement. He actually knew that his overallbat power should beparable to that of an eight-ringed soul master. Especially after awakening his spiritual domain just now, this feeling became even stronger.
Since his breakthrough, he had not encountered a true opponent. The opponents he faced brought him immense pressure, but at the same time, they also squeezed out his potential. He was very curious about how long he could endure facing a ninth-rank Titled Douluo, or to what extent he could seed.
A strong light flickered in the air, and a faint divine light shone on Lan Xuanyu''s face. His hands were sped in front of him, and around his body, the light of the four basic elements of water, fire, earth, and wind faintly surrounded him.
Ayer of golden scales covered his body first, and then the joints of his body shone with light. The golden scales began to protrude outwards and merged with each piece of battle armor, enveloping his body.
His soul power connected with the battle armor. A powerful aura also instantly erupted from Lan Xuanyu''s body.
The roaring sound of a majestic dragon came out of his mouth, and a huge golden dragon head abruptly emerged, roaring towards the Titled Douluo ahead.
The Titled Douluo reacted at this moment, pointing his spear forward, turning into a sh of light that almost instantly arrived in front of Lan Xuanyu.
It was fast, really too fast. With one stab, it seemed as if all the surrounding light was devoured by it. Even the four basic elements around Lan Xuanyu''s body were affected in that instant.
In Lan Xuanyu''s perception, he felt like he was in a void with nothing but the opponent''s spear.
At that moment, Lan Xuanyu''s eyes lit up, and a faint white light shone in his eyes. The charging spear suddenly stopped for a moment.
The next moment, a burst of colorful light spurted out, and a deep blue halberd had already blocked the long spear.
The Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd was the form of the Hua Gan Fang Tian Ji, with a de on each side, and it was best at locking and seizing other weapons.
Time froze, causing the opponent''s attack to pause for a moment. The next moment, they were caught by the des of the Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd.
Despite this, the tremendous impact still caused Lan Xuanyu to retreat continuously, and the Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd was pushed towards him by the opponent''s long spear.
At this moment, seven-colored light had already spread to every corner of his body. Faced with a Title Douluo-level powerhouse, how could Lan Xuanyu dare to hold back?
He had already used his Dragon God Transformation.
Power, perception of elements, everything soared in an instant. It was a feeling of melting into one with the surrounding elements in an instant.
The white light in Lan Xuanyu''s eyes also turned into gold at that moment.
"Condense!" he shouted loudly.
The assault of the Titled Douluo suddenly paused, and Lan Xuanyu firmly rooted both feet on the ground. At the same time, his left hand had already punched out. In an instant, a crazy four-color light burst out.
It was a small-scale elemental storm!
The Titled Douluo only felt that the elements in front of him had gone berserk in an instant, tearing everything around him madly, as if even space was going to be torn apart at this moment.
His body shook slightly and retreated backward. However, his retreat also pulled Lan Xuanyu forward, as Lan Xuanyu''s Heavenly Saint Abyssal Halberd had locked onto the opponent''s spear, which was like being dragged by the opponent''s spear.
However, despite the strength of the Titled Douluo, he couldn''t pull his spear out of the blockade of the Heavenly Saint Abyssal Halberd with this pull.
This was a contest of strength. Although Lan Xuanyu was only at the fifth ring level at the moment, his strength was still above Qian Lei''s.
Every time his body evolved, the first thing that evolved was his physical strength. Because only with enough strong physical strength could he withstand the impact he would experience during his breakthrough.
Therefore, Lan Xuanyu himself wasn''tpletely sure how much his physical strength had reached.
At this moment, even though he was being dragged by the Title Douluo, his halberd wasn''t pulled away.
With golden light flickering, a golden glow apanied by a deep dragon chant shed across the sky. It was the Golden Dragon Spear, a gift from Tang Wulin.
On the surface of the Golden Dragon Spear, there was also a touch of seven colors. With the injection of these colors, a three-foot-long spear glow burst out from the tip of the Golden Dragon Spear and almost instantly arrived in front of the Title Douluo.
At the same time, the light pattern under Lan Xuanyu''s feet became moreplex, and his breath became violent in an instant. It was precisely the fourth soul skill of the Golden Soul Blue Silver Grass C the Golden Dragon Rampage Domain.
Feng Hao, the Titled Douluo, furrowed his brow and suddenly released the long spear in his hand. The long spear disappeared in an instant as soon as he let go of it. This was the manifestation of his martial soul, and whether it appeared or was withdrawn waspletely under the control of the soul master.
As he released the long spear, the nine soul rings on Feng Hao''s body disappeared for a moment, and he floated back just in time to avoid the Golden Dragon Spear that Lan Xuanyu thrust forward. In the next moment, the long spear had already reappeared in his hand.
Thousands of spear radiance spurted out from the long spear, sealing off all the paths Lan Xuanyu could dodge.
In that instant, Lan Xuanyu felt as if he was enveloped in a violent storm, and each of the spear radiance was almost fatal to him. It couldn''t bepletely blocked by the Two-Word Battle Armor on his body. Even if he was in the Dragon God Transformation state, he would definitely be injured if he was pierced by such spear radiance.
Taking a deep breath, Lan Xuanyu withdrew both the Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd and the Golden Dragon Spear in his hands at the same time. In that instant, his body seemed to have suddenly be much slimmer.
The golden light in his eyes turned into purple, and faint purple electric currents seemed to shoot out from his pupils. Everything around him suddenly became a bit sluggish, and the Time Freeze Domain once again came into effect, causing the speed of the spear attack to seem to slow down for a moment.

At this moment, Lan Xuanyu moved. His body flickered like a ghost, trying his best to move through the spear shes. It was Tang Sect''s unique skill, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step!
With the help of his Time Freeze Domain, he used the Purple Extreme Demonic Pupil to identify the attacks and the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step to evade. He looked like a colorful shadow, shuttling through the spear shes.
Not only that, ice walls, earth walls, fireballs, and wind des bloomed outward crazily, blocking the spear shes that could not be avoided. Even if it was just for a moment, it could buy him time.
And the most powerful ability that Lan Xuanyu demonstrated at this moment was that he could sense the speed and direction of the spear shes and avoid them in the first time while blocking the opponent''s attacks with his elemental power.
His spiritual power had entered the Spirit Domain realm, and his perception had evolved into a whole new world. One should know that even for a normal Soul Master at the eight-ring level, it was extremely rare to have spiritual power that could reach the Spirit Domain level. And for a Titled Douluo, the most desired thing after reaching nine-ring was to evolve their spiritual power to the Spirit Domain level, thereby having a chance to break through to the Super Douluo level.
Lan Xuanyu was only at the five-ring level, but his spiritual power had already reached such a level, which also made his ability to control elements exceptionally strong.
Don''t forget that all five of his soul rings were at the one hundred thousand year level, each with control over a specific element.
For a moment, the cave''s defenses had already turned into a colorful world. When Lan Xuanyu passed through that burst of spear shes, he already had many marks on his body left by them, but not a single one had hit his vital points.
Lan Xuanyu''s chest was heaving heavily. Faced with tremendous pressure, he had already tried his best. The fighting power of the Titled Douluo was truly formidable. Moreover, he strongly suspected that the Titled Douluo standing in front of him was not just an ordinary one, but one from Shrek Academy.
The long spear continued to sh without pausing. In an instant, Lan Xuanyu felt that the intensity of the spear''s radiance in front of him had weakened, but it was still dense and covered the entire space. Even his Purple Demonic Eyes couldn''t find any ws in it.
Within this dense spear radiance, there was a hidden sense of ferocity. Once he was entangled by the spear radiance, he would likely face a fatal blow.
Lan Xuanyu frowned, and the Dragon God Transformation was activated to its fullest extent. Even the sound of his heartbeat could be heard clearly. His eyes became even brighter. He pointed his toes and turned around to run.
Yes, he ran away.
The previous spear thrusts were too fast, and he couldn''t run away even if he tried. However, the current dense assault, although they blocked the space, were a bit slower in speed. He pped his wings behind him and, pushed by the wind element, quickly ran towards the direction he came from.
The terrain here was too narrow. Fighting against the Titled Douluo here, he didn''t even have space to move around. Otherwise, dodging the spear just now wouldn''t have been so difficult.
When the opponent''s attack method changed, Lan Xuanyu immediately turned around and ran away. At the same time as he turned to escape, he raised his hand and threw something.
It was a yellow spherical object. When he threw it out, the Titled Douluo felt a huge threating, and his spear stopped abruptly, pausing instantly.
But immediately after, with a "swoosh", the yellow spherical object suddenly disappeared, condensed by Lan Xuanyu''s wind element into a thin thread, and pulled back to him, falling back into his hand.
Taking advantage of the brief moment, Lan Xuanyu had already rushed out of the cave and arrived at the open space of the second level he had previously been on. His wings spread out behind him as he flew into the sky. At the same time, his Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd was already in his grasp.
He only had the Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd, not the Golden Dragon Spear.
After all, he was not familiar enough with the Golden Dragon Spear, while he was much more familiar with the Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd.
The Titled Douluo furrowed his brow and also arrived in the open field, looking at Lan Xuanyu with some doubt. "What was that thing you just used?"
Just now, when he saw that yellow spherical object, a soul-shaking fear appeared in his heart, otherwise the attack would not have stopped. He had already anticipated that Lan Xuanyu would run, so he was ready tounch his gathered strength in a spear attack.
Back then, he saw a yellow spherical object, and in that moment, he felt that if he made a move, he might die. He instinctively interrupted his attack.
Lan Xuanyu grinned and said, "So you can speak! What did you say? I don''t know!"
This Titled Douluo looked to be in his thirties with an ordinary appearance. However, his aura was full of oppressive sharpness.
He didn''t speak again, and a pair of ck wings slowly spread out behind him. At the same time, ck armor covered his whole body, and a ck-purple halo appeared under his feet.
Lan Xuanyu''s mouth twitched, "You don''t have to be like this. Do you need a Three-Word Battle Armor to deal with a small fry like me?"
The answer to Lan Xuanyu was a burst of spear shes, faster than before. Not only that, but Lan Xuanyu felt the space around him suddenly twisted violently, and his spiritual sea boiled as a powerful spiritual attack rushed towards him.
In terms of spiritual power, his opponent had also reached the Spirit Domain level.
The killing blow,bined with the spiritual realm, was even more terrifying. What''s more, the halo of the opponent''s Three-Word Battle Armor under his feet also shone, and Lan Xuanyu suddenly felt unable to move.
Three-Word Battle Armor domain, space imprisonment. The effect was to imprison for one second.
If the opponent''s strength was extremely strong, perhaps it could only imprison for a moment. However, in the battle of the strong, even if it was just a moment, it could very likely determine the oue.
Upon arriving at this vast space, the Titled Douluo used his full strength right away C spiritual domain, spiritual attack, battle armor domain, space imprisonment, and the lightning-fast shot under the enhancement of the battle armor.
He wanted to show Lan Xuanyu through his actions that the enemy wouldn''t give him a chance to talk or survive. Victory often urred in the blink of an eye when facing any opponent.
There was an absolute gap in cultivation that could not be countered.
This shot was meant to teach Lan Xuanyu a lesson. In reality, facing such an attack would undoubtedly result in his death.
The Blood Trial was not only a test, but also a means of striking the students of the Star Wars Experimental ss, preventing them from bing overly proud of being admitted collectively to the Inner Court. It was to make them more cautious when facing formidable enemies.
However, it was at this moment that the Titled Douluo saw the strange smile on Lan Xuanyu''s face.
A yellow light ball silently floated up from above his head. The next moment, an extreme sense of terror instantly swept over him.
The piercing spear shes and the utilized domains both had an effect in that split second. However, at that moment, the titled Douluo felt an indescribable sense of great danger.
All weapons and equipment in reality could be replicated by projection and brought into the Douluo world. In the Douluo world, these weapons and equipment would have their original power. Of course, the premise was that the Douluo world could judge the power of such weapons.
The God''s Wrath had appeared in human history and yed a huge role. Naturally, this kind of thing existed in the program library of the Douluo world. It''s just that it existed thousands of years ago and hasn''t appeared since.
When Lan Xuanyu was withdrawing backwards just now, he threw out the God''s Wrath for the first time and had already activated it. The set explosion time was five seconds, yes, it was five seconds.
Throwing it out, retracting it, one second. Rushing out, one and a half seconds. Being pursued by the opponent, one second. At this time, the timing was just about right.
Chapter 967: Gods Wrath Erupts
Chapter 967: Gods Wrath Erupts
TL: GoldenLung
When Lan Xuanyu burst out of his timel domain, he immediately released his power, causing the opponent''s attack to slow down for a moment. Then, he was met with the abilities of two great domains.
The gun rays had already reached Lan Xuanyu''s proximity. He couldn''t move at all, and could only watch as his spear was about to pierce his chest. Even his Two-Word Battle Armor had already shown signs of cracking.
However, the radiance of the God''s Wrath had already begun to bloom. In that instant, as the opponent''s long spear pierced into his body, all Lan Xuanyu could do was to use the Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd to lock onto the opponent''s long spear, preventing the opponent from escaping at the first possible moment.
The absolute safe distance of the God''s Wrath was only three meters in diameter, while the Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberdbined with the opponent''s long spear was much longer than three meters. Therefore, this Titled Douluo would face the eruption of the God''s Wrath.
A powerhouses survival instinct was very keen. At the moment when the long spear pierced the battle armor, the Titled Douluo had already seen the blue light shining on Lan Xuanyu''s right hand, and the appearance of the Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd.
He immediately understood what Lan Xuanyu wanted to do. If his long spear pierced Lan Xuanyu''s heart, thebination of his body, battle armor, Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd, and his time freezing domain could be used again to make his body stop for a moment. And if that happened, he would die!
Therefore, his long spear did not pierce Lan Xuanyu''s body. Almost in an instant, he suddenly twisted his body and kicked Lan Xuanyu''s chest, sending him flying far away. He himself used the recoil force to rush out of the entrance to the third level.
"Boom!"
The dazzling golden color seemed to turn the whole world into a golden sea.
The teachers who were observing in the Outer Court dean''s office could no longer see everything that was happening on the screen at this moment.
A fierce burst of light erupted, projecting an incredibly intense light and shadow. The entire cave was shaking, copsing, and melting violently.
A piercing rm sounded continuously, indicating a rare situation of energy overload within the Douluo World.
"What, what is that thing?" One of the Inner Court teachers couldn''t help but ask.
More teachers were shaking their heads in confusion.
The taboo weapon of the Tang Sect, was it something that everyone would recognize? It hadn''t appeared in thousands of years.
If Meng Fei and Tang Miao knew that Lan Xuanyu had already used the Gods Wrath after just obtaining it, even if it was only within the Douluo World, they would probably be so angry that they would vomit blood.
And the reason why Lan Xuanyu had made up his mind was simple. In fact, he had already had this idea before he entered the Blood Trial today. He hesitated before when clearing the second level, whether to use Elemental Storm or God''s Wrath.
His understanding of the power of the forbidden weapon, God''s Wrath, was only from Meng Fei''s mouth. He had to try it himself to see if it was reliable. Especially the safe center zone, whether it was really safe or not, would determine how God''s Wrath should be used in the future.
From the moment he got his hands on it, Lan Xuanyu had been thinking about how to use this weapon of mass destruction to unleash its maximum power.
As for what Meng Fei and Tang Miao said about keeping himself alive, he listened to them. But when it came to staying alive, one was enough. Wasn''t it a waste if he didn''t use the other two? Tang Sect still had so many of them
Lan Xuanyu''s courage had never been small, in fact, he was very brave. His calmness was more evident during team actions. He had always been someone who dared to take risks, and don''t forget, how his first teacher Yin Tianfan had taught him.
Tang Zhenhua''s way of teaching was simr. During team actions, Lan Xuanyu had always suppressed his desire for unconventional and adventurous fighting styles. But he always felt that this kind of fighting style could bring the maximum benefit with the least cost.
After his recent growth in mindset, he became more mature, but his adventurous spirit became even stronger. How could he be strong quickly without taking risks? After all his ssmates had been admitted to the Inner Court, Lan Xuanyu no longer had any burden in this regard. What he wanted to do now was to be stronger.
The fact proved that the power of God''s Wrath was more terrifying than imagined. Everything around was vaporized, and the piercing rm continued to sound.
Wang Tianyu said in a deep voice, "Immediately strengthen the energy injection and carry out spatial istion. If the federation asks, just say that we are conducting some experiments within the Douluo World. The experiment went wrong and caused an explosion. No need to say more."
"Yes!" a teacher in charge of the Douluo World rushed to do it.
Wang Tianyu''s face was unpleasant and somewhat livid. The teachers may not recognize God''s Wrath, but would he not recognize it? He certainly knew what it was.
Were Tang Miao and Meng Fei crazy? They actually gave this thing to that brat? And this brat dared to use it in the Douluo World? Wasn''t he afraid of the federation suspecting that Tang Sect had restarted manufacturing the forbidden weapons ?
The golden strong lightsted for more than a minute before gradually subsiding. When Lan Xuanyu regained rity of his surroundings, as the initiator of all this, he couldn''t help but gasp in astonishment.
Everything around him was melting, yes, melting. The exit to the second level was already gone when he came in. The entrance to the third level was also gone.
Everything around him was golden-red, giving him a feeling that he hadnded on a star. All the rocks were melting, and the hollows were gettingrger. He could even vaguely see some strange lights flickering overhead, making the world no longer seem so real.
The power of God''s Wrath was amazing!
Lan Xuanyu''s eyes were sparkling, and what he wanted to do most now was to plunder the forbidden arsenal of the Tang Sect. With this thing, there were just too many things he could do.
Just as Lan Xuanyu was excited, suddenly, there was a loud noiseing from the distant cave wall, and a somewhat embarrassed figure flew out from inside.
"Not dead?" Lan Xuanyu had several question marks floating above his head. How could he not die from such a big explosion?
Indeed, the one who rushed out of the cave wall was the Titled Douluo from before. It had to be said that his survival had a lot to do with luck.
The previous explosion was absolutely terrifying in power. He immediately fled back into the third level''s cave and copsed the entrance as soon as possible.
God''s Wrath was an all-around explosion that couldn''t target the third level''s passageway, plus Lan Xuanyu was kicked away by him and hit far away, causing their distance to widen.
Even so, he still felt like he had been melted, that terrifying heat, that terrifying explosive force, almost tore him apartpletely.
At this moment, the appearance of the Titled Douluo was truly worrying. The Three-Word Battle Armor on his body was in a state of disarray and hanging off, swaying back and forth. The pair of wings on his back were long gone, and half of his body was burnt to a crisp, with smoke still emanating from his body.
He looked so disheveled, far from his previous demeanor.
"Ahem." Lan Xuanyu cleared his throat. "Senior, actually I didn''t want to do this. But, you are just too powerful, so I had to resort to this. Don''t worry, I promise not to use it again. Let''s have a fair fight."
"Pu!" The Titled Douluo spewed out a mouthful of blood.
A fair fight? It was amazing that this kid could say that.
"What? Are you saying you don''t want a fair fight? Do you want to experience that feeling again? That''s fine. It''s not really wasted in the Douluo world anyway." As he spoke, Lan Xuanyu flipped his wrist and pulled out another God''s Wrath.
"Stop it!" The Title Douluo couldn''t help but speak up again, "We can''t use that thing anymore, otherwise it will destroy this virtual world."
"Oh? I see. Okay then." Lan Xuanyu quickly put away the God''s Wrath. In fact, he had no intention of using it again.
Chapter 968: A Fair Battle?
Chapter 968: A Fair Battle?
TL: GoldenLung
With the Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd raised up, Lan Xuanyus wings spread out behind, elerating with the wind element, and darted towards the opponent like lightning.
Yes, he was now taking the initiative! "Lets have a fair battle!"
Five minutester, Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd pierced through the chest of the Titled Douluo.
Why did Lan Xuanyu choose to rush out for battle earlier? With the wings of the Two-Word Battle Armor, he could fly. Don''t forget, he was also the 58th Super God. Although fighting by pping his wings was different from using a fighter jet, in fact, there were many simrities. In a spacious environment, flying in the air could greatly enhance Lan Xuanyu''sbat power. Moreover, he was facing a semi-disabled Titled Douluo.
Office of the Outer Court Dean!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Wang Tianyu pounded on the table in front of him three times, angrily saying to Ying Luohong, "Immediately, right now, bring that stinky kid to me."
Ying Luohong felt likeughing a bit, but she knew it wasn''t appropriate tough at this moment.
"Teacher, don''t be angry. I think this is a special situation" Ying Luohongforted Wang Tianyu moderately.
Wang Tianyu rubbed his brow and realized he had a headache.
Who gave God''s Wrath, wasn''t it obvious? Tang Sect was really daring! They actually gave this dangerous thing to this kid, undoubtedly in preparation for him to go to the military.
If it were any other disciple from the Inner Court who did this in the trial, Pavilion Master Wang couldn''t tolerate it. However, considering that he had a father at level 120, although he didn''t know if Mister Le was a protective father, he felt it was better not to try.
"Bring him to me first." Wang Tianyu''s anger had clearly diminished a bit. As he spoke, he stood up and walked out. Obviously, he didn''t intend to continue watching this blood trial.
Before the trial began, nobody believed that anyone in the Star Wars Experimental ss could pass the third level. But now? Two had already passed all of the levels, yes, two!
It was hard to say if there would be more ahead.
Hopefully not!
When Lan Xuanyu stood in front of Wang Tianyu, he was still a bit nervous. But he had no regrets. The God''s Wrath, such a deadly weapon, he was a bit afraid to use it without testing it first. At least he couldn''t judge its specific power. It had been stored for thousands of years, what if it broke?
But as it turned out, products from the Tang Sect were always of high quality. This thing didn''t break at all, and its power was still so terrifying.
"Do you know that if the Federation found out that someone was using God''s Wrath in the Douluo world, how much trouble Tang Sect would be in?" Wang Tianyu angrily said, his words hitting hard. "How much trouble would it cause the academy? Is that something that can be used casually? Do Meng Fei and Tang Miao have a problem with their brains, giving you this thing?"
Lan Xuanyu tentatively said, "Uh, you might have to ask those two about that."
"You still dare to talk back?" Wang Tianyu red at Lan Xuanyu, and a strong pressure immediately rushed over him.
Lan Xuanyu took a step back, his face full of apologies, but he still held his ground. The spiritual power increase from the Spiritual Domain realm had greatly enhanced his mental resistance.
Wang Tianyu''s chest heaved a little, "Why did you use it? Give me a reason."
Lan Xuanyu blinked his eyes and said, "The main purpose was to conduct an experiment. After all, God''s Wrath hasn''t been used for thousands of years. I was afraid it might have expired. What if it doesn''t work when I''m on a military mission? That would be a big problem. Besides, I know that our academy''s exclusive Douluo world area is isted from the overall Douluo world. It shouldn''t be discovered by the federation. But I don''t know if the virtual world can be destroyed by powerful weapons. Space warships have been fighting, and nothing has happened, right?"
"That''s different. It''s aplicated matter. Are you really nning to use God''s Wrath?" Wang Tianyu looked at Lan Xuanyu and didn''t know what to say.
Lan Xuanyu said solemnly, "For the federation, it''s my duty."
"I''m praising you, okay?" Wang Tianyu almost pped him, but considering whether someone would do the same to him, he held back.
"Master, don''t worry, I won''t abuse it. Also, to open the Forbidden Armory, it seemed like we might need a key from you, Master. So, hehe" Lan Xuanyu grinned a little mischievously, at least in Wang Tianyu''s eyes.
"You get out of here, I don''t want to see you again." Wang Tianyu decided to kick the guy out in order to keep himself from getting too angry.
Seeing that he had passed the test, it would be foolish not to run, so Lan Xuanyu turned and ran outside.
"Stop." Wang Tianyu called him back again.
"Youmand, Master." Lan Xuanyu quickly turned around and smiled.
"Turn around and get in touch with Elder Shu, he has something to tell you. Also, based on your performance in today''s battle, your talent and abilities in all aspects were not a problem. However, you need to work harder on yourbat skills. Your strength has not been fully utilized, so don''t underestimatebat skills. Only with powerfulbat skills can you unleash your fullbat power, and even exceed your limits. I have nothing to teach you in this regard, you can consult Senior Tang for advice."
"Thank you, Pavilion Master." Lan Xuanyu sincerely bowed to Wang TianYu, then turned and ran.
The Blood Trial ended one hourter. Three people passed the third level.
Yes, three, in addition to Jia Yu and Lan Xuanyu, there was another. This third passer also perished. Simr to Jia Yu''s situation, but the battle process waspletely different.
The Twelve Heavenly Stem Qilins fought with eleven falling in battle and thest one self-destructing. The Heavenly Qilins merged into one, and Tang Yuge, as the cost of perishing with her powerful Titled Douluo opponent in battle, fell into aa in the real world.
In the Blood Trial''s second level, only 31 people passed, with only two people fighting until thest moment. Their martial souls were not suitable for group battles, and without soul cores, they couldn''t sustain the fight and failed.
No one was weak, and no one was cowardly. The Star Wars Experimental ss demonstrated their collective strength and proved their worth in entering the Inner Court!
After returning to the dormitory, Lan Xuanyu carefully summarized the gains and losses of today''s battle, especially his response to the pressure of the Titled Douluo.
Overall, it was eptable, but as Wang Tianyu pointed out, hecked explosive attack power inbat.
When he was fighting against opponents of the same level, this was not apparent. The powerful attack of the Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd, which ignored defense,pensated for this. But when he faced opponents at the level of a Titled Douluo, the problem became apparent. The opponent''s strength made it impossible for him to hit them with the Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd. After all, the Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd was still a melee weapon.
He also knew some martial skills, like the Golden Dragon Ascends to the Sky and the Golden Dragon Shakes the Earth, but they seemed to be insufficient. At least in terms of attack power, they were not enough.
He contacted Elder Shu, and Elder Shu told him that he woulde to see him tomorrow.
As for contacting Tang Wulin, Lan Xuanyu hesitated for a moment but ultimately decided not to. His Uncle Le was in seclusion and was helping Teacher Nana heal her injuries. Lan Xuanyu had already bothered him once and didn''t want to disturb him again.
Sitting in the meditation room, Lan Xuanyu took out the Golden Dragon Spear that Tang Wulin had given him and ced it horizontally on his legs.
The surface of this double-pointed long spear was covered with hidden dragon patterns, and the golden spear des on both ends emitted a mysterious and gloomy aura. The fierce energy was looming.
This was a gift from Uncle Le to him. Lan Xuanyu gently touched the surface of the spear with both hands, feeling the breath of the long spear.
There was no doubt that this was a powerful weapon at the level of a divine artifact. Lan Xuanyu felt a bit frightened by the fierce aura contained within it. Compared to it, the Heavenly Splitting Abyssal Halberd was more restrained and profound. But the aura of the Golden Dragon Spear was wild and intimate. It was a feeling of "this was originally a part of my body."
Chapter 969: Passing On The Spear
TL: GoldenLung
Touching the long spear, Lan Xuanyu''s mind gradually sank in, and unconsciously, the long spear in his hand trembled slightly. In the next moment, Lan Xuanyu''s spirit froze, and he was surprised to find that he seemed to have entered another space.
This was a spacious hall, with giant stone pirs on both sides, dozens of meters high, and because of the dim light, he could not even see the dome clearly.
In this hall, there was an intangible feeling of pressure.
Where was this ce? Lan Xuanyu subconsciously looked around, and just then, a familiar voice sounded, "Xuanyu, when youe here, it must be the moment when you seriously feel the Golden Dragon Spear. Giving you the Golden Dragon Spear is not actually for it to be your weapon, the Heavenly Saint Abyssal Halberd is much stronger than the Golden Dragon Spear and is an extremely rare divine weapon."
The sound belonged to Mister Le and Tang Wulin. Upon hearing his voice, Lan Xuanyu immediately felt relieved.
"For us soul masters, during battles, we rely more on our own martial souls. With the development of the soul master world, it has evolved from the cold weapon era of your grandfather''s generation to the invasion of the Sun Moon Empire under the collision of 2 continents, bringing about soul tools. Then, we developed mechas and battle armor ten thousand years ago. The times are always changing, but the only thing that remains unchanged is the foundation of soul masters, which still belongs to our own strength."
"My memories are graduallying back. Although I still can''t remember everything from the past, I have remembered many important things."
In the past, I was unwilling to recall, perhaps because everything in the past was too painful. At that time, your mother and I were in two different camps, she represented the interests of soul beasts and was the true Soul Beast King. The soul beasts were on the brink of extinction under the oppression of us humans. This was a struggle between two races. Your mother, because she loved me, chose to die rather than harm me in the end. At that time, although we were the strongest beings at the time, we still could not change the problem of the two opposing races. Before we left, I left a message for mypanions, hoping that they could let the soul beasts and humans coexist peacefully in the future.
The ending of that era was a tragedy, with my and your mother''s tragedy as the ending. At that time, we didn''t know that she already had you. If we had known, we would never have let you suffer even a little bit, even if it meant betraying the whole world. And now, as I gradually recover my memory and discover our true rtionship, I don''t even have the qualification to say "I love you" to you. We made you suffer for ten thousand years. I''m really sorry.
Upon hearing this, Lan Xuanyu''s eyes were gradually turning red. In fact, he had never hated Teacher Nana and his Uncle Le. Over the years, they had always been with him, helping him to grow up. Even though they didn''t know their blood rtionship, they still came together unconsciously under the pull of blood ties. At this moment, listening to Uncle Le''s words, he finally understood why he had only said a few brief words and left when he met himself that day.
"Your mother fell into a star to save you. As parents, that was what we should do. If it were me at the time, I would have made the same choice. After I came back, I chose to go into seclusion because there were some issues with my breakthrough. The bloodline of the Golden Dragon King has problems. The Golden Dragon King not only inherited the power and physical strength of the Dragon God but also inherited the Dragon God''s evil thoughts and violent aura. This is something you must pay attention to in the future."
"The Divine Realm truly exists, and I can tell you for sure that your grandfather was the founder of the Tang Sect, the strongest powerhouse on the continent 30,000 years ago, and the king of the Divine Realm, the Sea God Tang San. The disappearance of the Divine Realm was due to a catastrophe between universes. The Divine Realm was swept away by space time turbulence and its whereabouts are unknown. But I can sense that your grandfather and the others must still be alive. One day, they wille back."
"It was during that divine cmity, that the half-sealed Dragon God and Golden Dragon King escaped. Although it was killed by your grandfather, it injected all its essence into my body when I was just born, intending to destroy me and cause pain to your grandfather and grandmother. Helpless, your grandfather ced eighteen seals inside me to prevent me from absorbing too much of the immortal energy and to prevent the essence of the Golden Dragon King from being stimted. Before the Divine Realm was swept away, he left me in the Douluo Continent. This is how I came to be and grew up on the continent.
It can be said that the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King was the core that helped me achieve my current strength, but it has also always been my biggest problem that troubled and bound me. Back then, when I was frozen with your mother, my bloodline had already broken through sixteen seals, giving me such power. This time, in order to save your mother, coupled with umted power over ten thousand years, I broke through the seventeenth seal. The Golden Dragon King''s will has awakened again, contending for control of my body. Fortunately, thanks to you, my heart remained steadfast. I went into seclusion to better suppress it, to seal it at the eighteenth level and strengthen the seal. Before your grandfather returns, I will ensure that this seal is not broken. Otherwise, when the soul of the Golden Dragon King ispletely released, I may lose controlpletely.
I really wanted to be with you all the time, to watch you grow up. But now, my own problems have be too serious, and I cant let them affect you. During your cultivation, you must remember to keep your Golden Dragon King Bloodline and Silver Dragon King Bloodline bnced. I fully understand your situation now. The Dragon God Core is in your mother''s possession. When she wakes up, she will give you the Dragon God Core. When your future cultivation reaches its peak, it may be possible to revive the true Dragon God. I hope you can do what your mother and I couldn''t. And the Dragon God you revive must be a presence that rejects violence and only holds benevolent thoughts. This is our greatest hope. And at that time, perhaps you could also help me solve my own problems.
In front of you, I couldn''t even say all these words. Because deep down inside, I was afraid. I didn''t know how you would perceive us. But I really wanted to tell you that when I found out you were my child, I wished I could give you my entire life to make up for all the years of debt we owed you. I''m sorry, son, really sorry. But I couldn''t help it, I still want to say one thing to you, on behalf of your mother and me, we love you."
Tears flowed uncontrobly down Tang Wulin''s face, and Lan Xuanyu could clearly feel the deep emotions in his voice.
He himself was born from an egg, and his parents had chosen tomit suicide and freeze themselves forever. It took who knows how many years for him to be born, and as the ice melted, they were separated.
It was precisely because of the immense emotional pain they had experienced in the past that they selectively chose to forget and lost their memories when they woke up. But in fact, they did not abandon themselves.
"I have never truly hated you guys, never. With you guys around, I only had happiness and joy," murmured Lan Xuanyu, tears streaming down his face.
Tang Wulin seemed to let out a sigh of relief, "It feels good to say it out loud. Although I don''t know if you can ept it. But, child, you have to learn to be strong. To be honest,pared to me, you are still fortunate. Until now, I have not seen your grandparents. I have also been missing my dad and mom."
Chapter 970: Divine Realm, Xiao Wu
TL : GoldenLung
"In the past, although they were taken away together with the Divine Realm, your grandfather left me with many teachings. The Golden Dragon Spear in your hand was left to me by your aunt, who was my only sister. You must have heard of her, she was the Dragon Butterfly Douluo from twelve thousand years ago. My brother-inw, your uncle, is the founder of the Spirit Pagoda Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao. Your grandfather also left me his Golden Trident from back then. The Golden Trident, also known as the Trident of the Sea God, was your grandfather''s ultimate divine weapon. However, because it had a grudge against the Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd, I did not give it to you this time."
"Your grandfather was the wisest person I have ever met. In the historical records, it is recorded that your mother and I worked together to turn the tide and defeat the entire Abyssal ne. However, in reality, the process of crushing the Abyssal ne was all part of your grandfather''s n. It was your grandfather''s design that ultimately turned the Abyssal ne into nourishment for the Douluo Continent, and allowed us to emerge victorious in the final battle."
"Under normal circumstances, we soul masters only have weapons that are formed from our own soul. Later on, we developed soul tools. However, for truly powerful soul masters, they always believed that soul tools were just external objects. But in order tobat against soul tools, soul masters created the battle armor. Battle armor is different from mechas; it is a part of our body, but it is also loaded with external objects. And among these external objects, the one that can greatly enhance ourbat power is the Divine Weapon. I know many such weapons. However, there were only two that could truly be called Great Divine Weapons, and those were the Trident of the Sea God that your grandfather passed down to me, and the Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd in your hand. These were only possessed by the strongest of a ne. The Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd came from the Abyssal ne, which was formed by countless years of umtion by the Abyssal Saint Lord. Its power was extremely strong, and even now, I havent truly unraveled its secrets. Initially, after obtaining the Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd, I molded it into a ring and gave it to your mother as an engagement ring. Although I don''t know how it ended up in your hands, it was probably she who gave it to you. Go and feel the secrets within the Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd. If you can truly unlock all its secrets, your limits in the future may even surpass the former Dragon God. You could lead a new generation of gods and truly create your own Divine Realm.
Inside the Golden Dragon Spear, some of the skills that your grandfather taught me back then are imprinted. You should study and ponder them carefully, but it doesn''t necessarily mean that you have to replicate them entirely. Each soul master is unique. My teacher told me to find my own path. You grew rapidly, possessing the bloodline of both the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King. Their ultimate fate is to merge and be the bloodline of the Dragon God. In this process, you must make your own path more stable while also finding the one that belongs to you. What I taught you was only my own path for you to learn from, but not necessarily to replicate entirely. Only by finding your own path can you be a true powerhouse."
"Okay, it''s time for your grandfather to make an appearance. When I first met him, it was also in this ce. Now I am materializing this spiritual space for you. However, your grandfather''s figure is formed by my divine consciousness and he can no longermunicate with you. But study well, your grandfather is the God King of his generation of god, a true peak powerhouse. The divine skills he taught me, even now, I dare not say I have fully mastered them."
The voice stopped, and in the depths of the hall, a figure gradually took shape.
Lan Xuanyu quickly wiped away the tears from his face. After listening to Tang Wulin''s words, he finally understood that the legends were true. Golden Dragon Moon Song, Tang Wulin, was really the Thousand Hands Douluos son, also known as the Sea God Tang San. And he himself was the grandson of the Sea God Tang San!
A faint golden halo surrounded the figure, and when hepletely appeared, his gaze subconsciously turned towards Lan Xuanyu.
It was a indescribable sense of familiarity and warmth. Judging from their appearances, Tang San and Tang Wulin looked very much alike, with Tang Wulin being slightly more handsome. One could imagine that this was due to their grandmother having improved the family''s genes.
However, the sea god possessed a special aura that was not haughty or distant, but rather a very unique quality that made people unconsciously feel a sense of closeness to him.
As their eyes met, even though Lan Xuanyu knew that the person in front of him was just a simtion of Tang Wulin''s spiritual power, he still felt like he was seeing the real person.
"Hello, sir," Lan Xuanyu bowed and saluted.
The sea god Tang San smiled slightly and waved his right hand, and the trident of the sea god had alreadynded in his palm.
In the distant space.
A soft, colorful light ball slowly flew through space, and its speed was already indistinguishable.
Its auta didn''t seem strong, but when any extraterrestrial beings sensed its presence, they instinctively avoided it from afar.
If you look closely, you''ll notice that this cluster of colorful halo is actually gas-like and very peculiar. The colorful halo even drags a tail of mes during flight, while inside the core, there seems to be a strange entity resembling a.
However, this seems not to be aplete entity but formed by many existences relying on those colorful halos.
At this moment, inside this massive cluster of colorful light, there was a pce.
A man with long blue hair suddenly opened his eyes, and a strange golden light shed from the depths of his eyes.
In front of him was a solid cluster of colorful crystals emitting a colorful glow, and besides him, there were people sitting in a circle around him, all in a state simr to meditation.
"Yuhao, could you take over for me?" The blue-haired man stood up and whispered.
"Okay." With a sh of light, a figure appeared by his side, bowing to him before sitting cross-legged in his original position.
The blue-haired man took a step forward and disappeared as if entering a void.
In the bedroom, a stunningly beautiful andnguid woman was sitting on the huge bed, weaving something in her hand. Her long scorpion braid hung on one side.
With a flicker of light, the blue-haired man appeared in front of her bed.
"Hey, why are you back so early? It''s not time to change shifts yet, is it?" The woman raised her head, surprised to see her husband.
The blue-haired man''s eyes were filled with excitement. "I found it, Xiao Wu, I found it."
Xiao Wu "swooshed" and jumped up from the bed, jumping directly into the arms of the blue-haired man, trembling as she said, "Don''t lie to me! Is it true? Did you really find him?"
"Well, just now, I felt it. There''s no mistake, that''s our son''s aura. He''s still alive, and even stronger than before. He should have the aura of a first-grade God. I knew it, my son wouldn''t fall so easily. This is great, really great. I can''t be wrong about this. He''s our blood!"
Xiao Wu hugged him tightly and burst into tears.
"Don''t cry, baby, don''t cry! This is great news! We should be happy."
Xiao Wu cried even harder.
The blue-haired man hugged her and said softly, "Ever since we lost our connection to him, we have been flying in that direction. Just now, I felt it again and adjusted our coordinates. I believe that this time, we can definitely return in the shortest time possible. Although we don''t know the exact time, we will definitely be able to make it back."
"Mm, mm," Xiaowu buried her head in his arms and nodded vigorously.
The blue-haired man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Our family is finally going to be reunited!"
Chapter 971: Tang San, How Dare You Cheat On Me
TL: GoldenLung
Xiao Wu lifted her head and looked at the blue-haired man through tear-filled eyes. The blue-haired man lowered his head and lightly kissed her lips, "Are you still making clothes for your son? Make them a little bigger. He should have a simr body to mine, just slightly taller."
Tears continued to fall from Xiao Wu''s face as she raised her hand and gently caressed Tang San''s face, "If you can find our son, that would be really great. With him here, I can finally rest assured."
"What are you so worried about? Alright, I need to hurry back now. I need to work more these days so we can return faster. The coordinates will be affected by the wormhole jump and will still shift, so I need to constantly adjust them to save time."
"Okay," Xiao Wu meekly nodded her head.
Just then, Tang San''s body suddenly shook and he turned his head to look at Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu''s heart tightened and her face turned slightly pale. "What''s wrong?"
Tang San looked at her in shock, "I, I think I felt it."
Xiao Wu held his hand tightly and lowered her head, "What did you feel?"
"A new life, I felt a new life," Tang San said excitedly.
"Hey, you wish. I''m not pregnant," Xiao Wu scoffed and pushed him away.
"No, not you," Tang San quickly said.
"Hmm?" Xiao Wu suddenly raised her head, her eyebrows furrowed, and for a moment, the room was filled with a chilling atmosphere. The strong pressure even startled Tang San, who was a God King. "Who is it? Tang San, how dare you cheat on me?"
"What are you thinking?" Tang Sanughed and said helplessly, "What do you mean, cheating on you! Whether it''s in this life or the next, I only love you and will only love you. When I talked about a new life, I meant not here, but on our son''s side. It seems like we have a grandson now. Although it''s still weak, I can feel his presence with my son''s aura. It seems to have triggered my divine sense. We, we should have a grandson! This little guy, Wulin, is amazing! Hahaha, I''m going to be a grandfather."
Xiao Wu was also stunned, and her killing intent suddenly dropped. "We have a grandson? Do we really have a grandson? This, this is really great!"
"Hahaha, today is truly a beautiful day. I''m going back quickly, trying to see our precious grandson as soon as possible. Hahaha!"
Xiao Wu rolled her eyes and said, "Just now you said you wanted to see your son earlier." At this point, she lightly coughed and covered her mouth with her right hand, seeming to beughing. But Tang San didn''t notice that there was a touch of crimson in her palm.
Tang San chuckled, "We already have a grandson, why do we still need a son? His mission is alreadypleted!"
After speaking, he turned around and walked out. Just then, a woman with long pink and blue hair walked in and was surprised to see him. "Dad, I understand now why Yuhao suddenly left. It turns out you called him to fill in for you. You''re just beingzy, hmph!"
Tang San said impatiently, "You forget about your dad as soon as you get a husband. By the way, work hard and quickly give me a grandson." After speaking, he walked away quickly.
Tang Wutong watched Tang San leave in surprise and turned to Xiao Wu, "Mom, what''s wrong with dad? Why is he suddenly urging me to have a baby?"
Xiao Wu chuckled, "He must have been stimted. Your younger brother has news," she said to her daughter, as she quietly moved the back of her hand, which had been covering her mouth, behind her back. A faint halo shimmered and the crimson mark disappeared.
"Thousand-Fold Strike, break downplexity into simplicity." Lan Xuanyu repeated the same phrase in a whisper.
In front of him, Tang San stepped forward with the Trident of the Sea God in hand. The trident instantly transformed into numerous lights and shadows, which ovepped in the air before finally taking shape as the original object. The entire space waspressed and trembling during the process of merging into one.
This was no longer a simple skill, but an understanding and control of space. The trident stabbed out, giving people a feeling of being unable to escape.
At this moment, Lan Xuanyu also manifested his own Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd and followed Tang San''s example to stab out.
The shadowy figure seemed to have a feeling of connection with him. When he thrust the Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd in his hand, the shadowy figure had already floated behind him, ovepping with his body. His bloodline power naturally flowed and his soul power pushed forward, making the thruste naturally.
The trajectory of his soul power cirction and even the pathways for mobilizing his spritual power appeared clearly in Lan Xuanyu''s memory.
When the Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd was thrust out, the vortex of his own bloodline seemed to be its power source, while his spiritual power gave him a feeling ofplete unity with the Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd.
Before, when he used the Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd, he relied entirely on its ability to ignore defense. As long as it hit the opponent, it would definitely cause heavy damage.
However, with the improvement of his strength, simply using it was no longer able to keep up with his abilities. This move, Thousand-Fold Strike, came at just the right time.
It was just a single movement, but the entire process had already been etched deep into Lan Xuanyu''s memory, and the Sea God Tang San disappeared along with it.
Lan Xuanyu looked around but couldn''t find his grandfather, then he looked down at the Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd in his hand. He closed his eyes and savored the feeling of thrusting the spear just a moment ago.
After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes, took a step forward, and thrust the spear. Light and shadow appeared, instantly merging together. The general form was correct, butpared to the feeling when Sea God Tang San thrust it out, it was still a far cry.
However, Lan Xuanyu was not disappointed at all. The improvement of ones skills required continuous practice. Even with highprehension abilities, it was impossible to improve without hard work.
In this virtual space, he repeatedly wielded the Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyssal Halbert and felt the mystery of each strike. Gradually, his bloodline vortex fused with elemental fluctuations. Each strike seemed to bring a different understanding, and he was unconsciously immersed in the process of continuous practice, much like meditation. Since breaking through to five-ring, Lan Xuanyu had made a significant leap in his cultivation, thanks to the help of the five hundred thousand-year soul rings. However, what hecked was a consolidation process.
It wasn''tcking in elemental control, but rather in fusing his different abilities from the Golden Patterned Blue Silver Grass.
This was a problem that Tang Wulin and Gu Yue hadn''t encountered before, but Lan Xuanyu had to face it.
The Golden Dragon King and Silver Dragon King did not equal the Dragon God; the perfect fusion of the Golden Dragon King and Silver Dragon King was the Dragon God.
The fusion process was not just the constant merging of the bloodline vortex within him, but also in his spiritual world. He had to feel the fusion whenever he used his own power. The Dragon God Transformation was just a simtion of the fusion state, and true fusion still relied on him alone.
Fusion, elevation, breakthrough. These were the things he should have done most at the moment. It was precisely under such circumstances that he was given this opportunity thanks to the Thousand-Fold Strike technique.
That was why he had a wonderful feeling every time he thrust his Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyssal Halberd, and he could clearly feel his progress. The different abilities from the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King were also constantly converging.
This was also why Tang Wulin did not continue to teach him about the Golden Dragon King''s abilities, such as Tang Wulin''s Nine Golden Dragon King''s Techniques, because it was only tailored for the Golden Dragon King.
But the Thousand-Fold Strike was different. This was the battle technique that Sea God Tang San taught Tang Wulin,ing from a God King. The purest battle technique.
Using the battle technique to mobilize his own abilities, he felt the intricacies of fusion during the process of disying the battle technique. This was the opportunity that Lan Xuanyu had been waiting for, the real breakthrough for him. A breakthrough in terms ofbat power.
For the next week, Lan Xuanyu secluded himself in training,pletely immersed in the practice of the technique.
Chapter 972: Awards Ceremony
TL: GoldenLung
During the Blood Trial, Lan Xuanyu realized his own problems, but he didn''t expect to find a solution so quickly. Since he found it, of course, he worked hard and persevered.
His seclusionsted until a notification from the academy arrived.
The Star Wars Experimental ss was about to depart, with their destination set to the Seventh Fleet base of the Federation.
The Shrek City Aerospace Center.
After gathering the 33 Sky Wings, they were now standing in a row in the waiting hall, neatly arranged.
In front of them were a group of bigwigs.
From Shrek Academy, Wang Tianyu personally attended, while Tang Miao came on behalf of the Tang Sect. The military sent most people, including the Head War God of the War God''s Temple, Yu Muchen in person. Behind him, soldiers also stood in a row, each holding a tray in their hands.
At this moment, the 33 people of Lan Xuanyus team had already changed out of their Shrek Academy uniforms and reced them with dark blue military uniforms. These were the standard military uniforms of the Federation fleet.
Before they set off, they were to undergo amendation ceremony, where Admiral Yu Muchen would personally award them their military ranks.
"Jiayu, step forward for the awards ceremony!"
Jiayu, dressed in a sharp military uniform, strode forward and stood before Admiral Yu Muchen.
Admiral Yu Muchen solemnly saluted, and Jiayu quickly returned the salute. His face appeared somewhat pale, as he had slept for three full days after using Blood Sacrifice, Bloodthirsty Sea Spirits in battle. It was only thanks to the good resources provided by the School of Life and the careful treatment of healing-type soul masters that he was able to recover without causing permanent damage to his body and spirit.
Jiayu didn''t regret at all, he personally experienced the power of the Bloodthirsty Sea Spirits, which gave him a new understanding of his martial soul and found his own path. The direction of his future development had begun to change.
He was very clear that with his talent, if he wanted to keep up with hispanions, he had to do things that ordinary people dared not do. He had to go crazy in order to constantly break through. As the saying goes, one cannot truly live without a touch of madness.
Therefore, Jiayu''s eyes now were much deeper than before, and even his pupils were slightly red, with an invisible killing intent permeating around his body.
When Yu Muchen conferred his rank, he even felt like he was facing a veteran of a hundred battles.
Two stripes, two stars, the rank of colonel.
This was the rank exchanged by the umted points of the Skyfighter mission. An 18-year-old colonel, which was absolutely the most outstanding talent that can be obtained in the military. It was also the reward that Skyfighters could receive for risking their lives for the Federation.
Not only him, since the whole Thirty-Three Sky Wingspleted the team mission, everyone''s Skyfighter points were almost the same.
The deep blue military uniforms were sharp and profound, embodying the spirit and resilience of a soldier, leaving an indelible mark on these young men. The moment they bore ranks on their shoulders, the gleaming gold stars added a touch of unyielding strength to their character. From that moment on, they were true soldiers.
As the rank was awarded one by one, new colonels appear.
"Lan Xuanyu,e forward and receive your rank." Finally, it was the ss leader Lan Xuanyu''s turn.
Lan Xuanyu stepped forward and took the initiative to salute Yu Muchen.
Yu Muchen''s serious face finally showed a smile as he returned the salute to Lan Xuanyu,
"Lan Xuanyu, you achieved outstanding results during your missions in the Skyfighter Hall. You led your team toplete multiple difficult tasks. It has been confirmed that the special mission youpleted on Proto Dragon has made a great contribution to the Federation. As the leader, and the one who bore the greatest pressure afterwards, the Federation has decided to give you a specialmendation. Considering that you graduated from the Shrek Academy, the medal may not hold much significance to you, so we have decided to convert the Federation Hero Medal into a military rank and award you"
At this point, he paused for a moment and unveiled the red cloth on the tray held by a soldier beside him, picking up two military ranks.
"We award you the rank of Major General!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room was filled with shock. If it weren''t for the solemn asion, there would have been an uproar.
Even Tang Miao and Wang Tianyu looked surprised.
Major General? Are you kidding me? That was a general''s rank.
One should know that in the modern federal army, the requirements for promotion were extremely strict. The Skyfighter Hall was an exception, because every Skyfighter mission could potentially endanger their lives, and they had indeed made great contributions to the federation. Therefore, afterpleting missions, Skyfighters could exchange their points for military merit. But even so, bing a general was not an easy task. Only a level five or even level six Skyfighter had the possibility to be one.
Lan Xuanyu''s Skyfighter points were the same as hisrades'', but the federation directly gave him the rank of Major General with the reason being his Federation Hero medal.
What did Major General mean?
Themander of a warship held the rank of Major General. Moving from a lieutenant officer to a general officer was often a step that many officers cannot cross in their lifetime without exceptional contributions. It was absolutely impossible to be promoted to Major General without outstanding contributions.
Just like the previousmander of Proto Dragon, he had already been promoted to the rank of lieutenant general, but this time, due to the major issue with the Proto Dragon Crystals, he was directly demoted back to major general.
There was no doubt that this was the most direct form of bribe from the military and the federal government to Lan Xuanyu.
An 18-year-old major general was simply unheard of. Even Tang Wulin, who was known the Golden Dragon Moon Song back then, didn''t be a general at the age of 18!
Lan Xuanyu was also shocked and wanted to ask something, but General Yu Muchen had already put on the rank of Major General for him.
The Major General''s rank had no bars, and there was a big golden star on each shoulder. Three centimeters away from the big star, there was also an arc-shaped pattern formed by a string of branches and leaves, which was a shrunken version of the Eternal Tree''s branches and leaves.
"At the same time, you have been promoted to a level 6 Skyfighter. All your points have been reset." Yu Muchen said with a smile.
"Thank you, General." Lan Xuanyu saluted him again. Although he felt helpless, Lan Xuanyu naturally understood why this situation had arisen. It was not just because of his own talent and importance at Shrek Academy, but also had an inseparable connection with his parents.
Putting aside Tang Wulin''s previous contributions to the Federation, the fact that he was currently the only Super God level powerhouse in the entire Federation had greatly changed the Federation''s attitude towards Lan Xuanyu.
While Tang Wulin was now in seclusion at Shrek Academy, Lan Xuanyu was entering the military. The Federation government would not let go of such a great opportunity!
Whether it was the academy, Tang Sect, the military, or the Federation, they all provided full support to Lan Xuanyu. For a while, it made Lan Xuanyu feel a little ufortable.
Of course, only the true high-level officials within the Federation knew about his situation. This was the most important secret of the Federation.
Lan Xunyu returned to his position, andpared to the colonel rank of his apanyingrades, his Major General rank was quite prominent. The key was that he was too young!
Lan Xunyu himself was a bit helpless. With his age, wearing this Major General rank, he would probably be criticized when he arrived at the Seventh Fleet. However, since it was already like this, then let it be. Being a general, this feeling seemed really good.
His dream from childhood was to be a warshipmander, and now it seemed that his rank was almost enough!
"Prepare to board the ship," a Major General officer shouted loudly.
The next moment, military personnel were already clearing the way in front, leading Lan Xunyu and the others to board the transport ship from the Seventh Fleet.
At this moment, the Thirty-Three Sky Wings soldiers finally rxed, and everyone looked at the military rank on their shoulders with a strange feeling.
The few people who followed closely behind Lan Xuanyu all had their gaze unconsciously fixed on the star on Lan Xuanyu''s shoulder, and they all clicked their tongues in amazement.
Chapter 973: Hello General Lan
TL: GoldenLung
"General Lan, hello," a lowugh rang out.
Lan Xuanyu turned around and saw Bai Xiuxiu smiling brightly behind him.
"Goodbye, General Lan," Bai Xiuxiu waved to him, and Lan Xuanyu couldn''t help but itch to catch her hand. But with so many soldiers watching, and him having just been promoted to the rank of major general, he restrained himself.
Everyone boarded therge transport ship. General Yu Muchen, Wang Tianyu, Tang Miao and others personally escorted them to the entrance of the warship before stopping.
The hatch of the warship closed. After a short while, the transport ship slowly lifted off, elerating suddenly under the escort of two meteor-ss assault warship, heading straight for space.
Watching the transport ship disappear into the sky, Yu Muchen couldn''t help but smile and say, "The vast sky is open for them. I hope they can find their own direction in the army."
Wang Tianyu said lightly, "No matter how high an eagle spreads its wings and soars, it will always return to its nest someday."
Yu Muchen looked at him with a smile that wasn''t quite a smile and said, "It depends on the individual''s choice."
For some reason, as Wang Tianyu looked at Yu Muchen''s expression, he suddenly had a feeling that something wasn''t quite right. He began to feel that the decision to allow the experimental ss to go to the military for training was somewhat questionable.
ording to the negotiations with the military, the training period would be one year. After a year, they would return to the academy for further study.
Tang Miao lightly tapped Wang Tianyu on the shoulder. When Wang Tianyu turned to look at him, Tang Miao''s expression was somewhat strange. His lips moved as he whispered something.
Wang Tianyu''s originally gloomy expression suddenly improved, and there was also a hint of strangeness as he nodded lightly to Tang Miao.
Yu Muchen, although having a higher cultivation level than them, found it very difficult to eavesdrop on the transmission of messages from such god-rank powerhouses. For some reason, he also felt a sense of unease.
The military''s n for Lan Xuanyu and his team was simple C spare no effort and focus on their training.
All kinds of information about Lan Xuanyu had already beenpiled by the Federation and the military. They were even aware of his childhood dream.
The military''s arrangement was simple C didnt Lan Xuanyu want to be a warshipmander? Give it to him!
Create opportunities for him, let him keep advancing, and make him a warshipmander within a short period of time. This way, they could keep him tied to themselves and to the military.
Tang Wulin''s position was extremely important within the federation. His return had significant meaning for both Shrek Academy and Tang Sect. He was the uncontested leader of his generation! Even as a symbol of spirit, his significance to the two major forces was already extraordinary. Moreover, his personal strength had reached the unprecedented Super God level.
Directly winning over Tang Wulin was a difficult task, if not impossible. But Lan Xuanyu was possible! He was still young and in his growth period. Besides, with parents like Tang Wulin of the Golden Dragon Moon Song and Guyue Nana of the Silver Dragon Dancing Qilin, how could this child''s talent be inferior? Even before reuniting with his parents, he had received great attention at Shrek Academy.
Therefore, afterprehensive analysis, the federation ultimately gave instructions to spare no effort to win over Lan Xuanyu.
As for what Tang Miao said to Wang Tianyu, it was simple. Lan Xuanyu was not a child who followed the normal path. He was ustomed to using unorthodox tactics inbat, coupled with his unparalleled audacity, and most importantly, he had a good thing in his hand C the Gods Wrath. How could he not use it?
In the military, the probability of him causing trouble was much higher than the probability of him not causing trouble. So, there was no need to worry too much. Let''s see what this kid could do in the military within a year''s time.
Especially since the Seventh Fleet was one of the federal fleets stationed in the Dragon Horse Gxy, where Lan Xuanyu and the Dragon Horse Gxy had a deep-seated grudge.
For the first time, Tang Miao felt that giving Lan Xuanyu only three Wrath of the Gods might have been a bit too little
Upon hearing his words, Wang Tianyu immediately remembered the incident when Lan Xuanyu and his group went to Sin. They even stole the Tang sects warship and nearly angered Deng Bo to death. They even had the audacity to use antimatter missiles and blew up a pirate warship. How old were they at that time?
This group of 18-year-old kids were fearless and full of courage. Releasing them was no different from letting loose a group of tigers.
Furthermore, Wang Tianyu also thought about the situation during the Blood Trial. It seemed like there weren''t many normal people in this ss.
There was Bloodsong de, Devil''s Zither, and the Bloodthirsty Sea Spirit. Just thinking about them gave him a headache. Let the military worry about them for now.
Therefore, both sides had their own thoughts as they watched the transport ship disappear into the sky.
The transport ship.
At this moment, without the presence of the big shots from both sides, the members of the Star Wars Experimental ss became lively.
The military transport ship was veryfortable. Don''t ever think that the military warship would sacrificefort. On the contrary, because the soldiers had to live in space for a long time, the Federation had a specialized research team to ensure thefort of the warships, just to ensure that the soldiers could rest well and maintainbat effectiveness in the warship. In therge warships, there were also rich living areas.
The officer in charge of the seventh fleet, which was responsible for leading the team on the transport ship, had only a few people, and the highest rank was that of a major general. From the rank, it was the same as Lan Xuanyu.
Therefore, as soon as the transport ship took off, everyone immediately became active.
In the end, no one was eliminated in the Blood Trial. The next step was a year of military life and starry warfare experience.
Without the supervision of the academy, and with the confirmation of entering the Inner Court, everyone''s mood was a little exuberant.
"General, could you introduce us to the situation of the Dragon Horse Gxy?" Lan Xuanyu came to the young general with a smile.
The young general, looking at the 18-year-old boy with the same rank as himself, felt a little uneasy. "My name is Zhan Ge, the deputy chief of staff of the Seventh Fleet. As for the situation of the Dragon Horse Gxy, we can''t tell you right now. It''s a federal secret. General Lan Xuanyu, please restrain your subordinates."
Lan Xuanyu was stunned. It seemed that this General Zhan Ge''s attitude towards him was not very good.
"They are not my subordinates, they are my ssmates," Lan Xuanyu said calmly with a restrained smile.
Zhan Ge furrowed his eyebrows and said, "That was in the past. Now that you have joined the military, there is only a distinction between superiors and subordinates. The most important thing is to obey orders. If you cannotply, you will be subject to militaryw." The excited young men in the cabin were a bit noisy, which would not be tolerated in the military.
"Okay. I understand," Lan Xuanyu nodded.
He returned to his seat, but he didn''t have any intention of restraining hispanions. Since the entrance exam, everyone had been under a great deal of pressure. Now that it was finally over, they could rx, and emotions needed to be released. Besides, they were still on a transport ship and hadn''t officially joined the military yet!
Zhan Ge saw that Lan Xuanyu had no reaction and wanted to say something more, but he remembered Yu Muchen''s advice and restrained himself. Out of sight, out of mind, he went to the lounge to rest.
"Jiayu, you were amazing! I heard that even the teachers were scared by your sacrificial ability. You were also the first one to pass the blood trial assessment. When did you be so powerful?" Qian Lei asked curiously as he approached Jiayu.
Jiayu replied shyly, "I had this idea before. My ability has always been too limited by the environment. Without water, mybat effectiveness would decrease significantly. At that time, I was thinking about how to have water around me all the time. Then I thought of blood. And gradually developed the Bloodthirsty Sea Spirit."
Qian Lei scratched his head and asked, "Can you only use your own blood? Can others'' blood work too?"
Jiayu hesitated for a moment and said, "It should work, but my own blood has a higher degree ofpatibility with my martial soul."
Chapter 974: Arrival At The 7th Fleet
TL: GoldenLung
Qian Lei said, "From now on, when we''re in battle, I''ll be responsible for making the enemy bleed. You can try it out. With a few more experiments, we might find a method that works."
Jiayu''s eyes lit up, nodding as he said, "That''s a good idea. I''ve noticed that the sea spirit beasts I summon are very sensitive to blood, and it greatly enhances their ferocity. If I were to self-detonate, the amplification effect on the blood would be best, since all of my power is infused in it. If it''s someone else''s blood, it should work as long as they have their own energy."
"I think you could use your own blood as a guide. The effect should be good that way. And what about Li Han? Li Han, can your tidal power gather blood?" Liu Feng also chimed in, giving Jiayu ideas.
Li Han said, "In theory, all liquids can be controlled to be tides. Blood is also a liquid, so it should work. If blood can enhance the Sea Soul Beast so much, I think we can try it. Li Bin, can your Bright Moon''s power increase under the influence of blood?"
Li Bin smiled bitterly and said, "I don''t know either! But our martial soul fusion technique, Bright Moon Rises On The Sea, do you n to turn it into a Blood Moon Rises On The Sea? What about artistic conception?"
Li Han rolled his eyes and said, "What''s the point of artistic conception in front of power? Let''s think about it. Maybe we can turn the Bright Moon Rises On The Sea into abined version of Blood Moon Rises On The Sea. The power will definitely increase significantly. This is good. Jiayu, you have quietly guided us in the right direction. We have you!"
"I didn''t do anything," Jiayu said shyly. However, looking at his current appearance, who can imagine that he had just self-destructed and sacrificed himself to perform a desperate soul technique not long ago?
At this moment, Lan Xuanyu had just grabbed Bai Xiuxiu who was trying to escape, and was tickling her under her armpit as Bai Xiuxiu couldn''t stopughing.
"Spare me, I was wrong."
"What did you do just now? Hmph! You still want to see me again? Where do you want to go? Let me tell you, you can''t run away in this lifetime."
Lan Mengqin, who had her arms crossed in front of her, rolled her eyes. "I can''t stand you two, so cheesy! Qian Lei,e here!"
For a while, the transport ship was filled withughter and joy. For the Thirty-Three Sky Wings, this was unprecedented. Since they entered Shrek Academy, they had never been so rxed.
The Dragon Horse gxy was very far from the mother star, and the transport ship needed to fly for twenty-one days and go through three wormhole jumps before arriving.
After the initial rxation, everyone''s mood calmed down and they each meditated to pass the long time.
Lan Xunyu summoned his Golden Dragon Spear and immersed himself in the spiritual space, continuing to practice his Thousand-Fold Strike. After days of continuous training, he had gradually found some feelings.
The Thousand-Fold Strike disyed by Tang San, the Sea God, was simply powerful with a strong attack. But Lan Xunyu was different; he had many abilities, and each soul ring was at the level of one hundred thousand years. Therefore, he gradually felt that the biggest characteristic of his Thousand-Fold Strike should be in its variability C changes in attributes, instant changes,binations of elements, and the power of the Golden Dragon King.
With the same Thousand-Fold Strike, every time he thrust it seemed to have a different feeling, guiding different forces and producing different effects.
Because there were too many changes, he needed more time toprehend all the changes they brought. This required long-term practice, but he seemed to have gradually found his direction.
The Golden Dragon was the bone, and the Silver Dragon was the skin.
Theyplemented each other and were interwoven with each other.
It was during their respective training that the twenty-one days finally passed.
In the distance, arge fleet of warships appeared outside the portholes. The alert tone inside the transport ship also sounded, "Returning to the fleet soon. All personnel, prepare yourselves."
The alert tone repeated, and Lan Xuanyu also ended his training and opened his eyes again.
Major Zhan Ge had returned discreetly, when he saw Lan Xuanyu open his eyes, he nodded slightly at him.
Lan Xuanyu also nodded in acknowledgement to him and looked outside.
Although it was not the first time he had seen the Seventh Fleet, he still felt a surge of excitement when he saw so many warships outside the portholes.
At that time, the warship became noisy again. Among the 33 members of the Sky Wings, only Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu had been in close contact with the fleet before, while the others were experiencing it for the first time. Suddenly, their emotions were all aroused.
Leaning against the porthole, they looked at the variously shaped warships outside, especially the huge mother ship, which was like a city, seen through the gaps between the warships. The vastness of space and the strength of the space fleet gave rise toplex emotions of excitement in everyone''s hearts.
The transport ships flew past one warship after another. As they were from the Shrek Academy and had special status, they had to report to the mother ship first before being arranged to serve in the military. Especially since they were all officers, further arrangements were needed.
Lan Xuanyu''s mood at this time waspletely different from thest time he came to the Seventh Fleet. Thest time he came, he had only one thought in his mind, which was how to rescue Teacher Nana and how to save her from the stars. But now he was rxed, and his whole person was in the best state of mind.
For his uing military career, he was indeed very much looking forward to it. Undoubtedly, he took a shortcut. A person who had just entered the army for the first time had unexpectedly been promoted to the rank of Major General. Even Lan Xuanyu himself found it unbelievable.
The mother ship opened a passage and guided the transport ship inside. After a series of scans and inspections, it finally entered the interior of the mother ship.
General Zhan Ge had already started to contact the mother ship. When the transport ship finally stopped, he came to Lan Xuanyu and said, "Major General Lan Xuanyu, ording to the fleet staff notice, please report to the staff department. Other personnel will be arranged separately."
Lan Xuanyu asked, "General Zhan Ge, will we be scattered to various departments?"
Zhan Ge replied, "I''m not sure how the staff will arrange it. You should find out the specifics when you get to the staff department." He didn''t have a good impression of Lan Xuanyu and even felt a bit jealous. An 18-year-old general! He had achieved many sesses step by step, and after more than 20 years, he became the youngest major general in the Seventh Fleet. Butpared to the person in front of him, he felt like crying. How could someone be a general at the age of 18? How was that possible?
"Okay," Lan Xuanyu could also feel Zhan Ge''s indifferent attitude towards him and didn''t ask any more questions. Anyway, he would find out the specifics when he got to the staff department.
Below, there was already a shuttle waiting, which waspletely different from thest time he came. This time, there was no one to greet them. Under the guidance of Zhan Ge, Lan Xuanyu boarded a specialized shuttle, while the others boarded another shuttle.
Lan Xuanyu waved goodbye to his teammates and pointed to the soul
municator on his wrist. The two shuttles headed in different directions. Lan Xuanyu passed through multiple checkpoints on the shuttle and arrived at the headquarters of the Seventh Fleet.
He was taken to a meeting room where Zhan Ge asked him to wait and then left.
Looking around, Lan Xuanyu saw that the meeting room was also styled the same way as the warships metal. It was small, could amodate about ten people, and was considered a small meeting room.
He found a ce to sit down and waited quietly.
After a short while, the door to the meeting room opened and Lan Xuanyu quickly stood up. A general with the rank of admiral walked in from outside.
The person looked to be in their fifties, with a refined temperament and a handsome appearance. Their eyes were bright and full of vitality, and they wore a faint smile on their face.
"Hello, sir," Lan Xuanyu quickly performed a military salute that was not quite standard.
The admiral smiled slightly and said, "Don''t be so formal. We are family now. I am Chen Yilei, the chief of staff of our Seventh Fleet. Originally, themander was supposed toe and meet you today, but he happened to be inspecting the escort ship, so I came instead. How was your journey? Please sit down." As he spoke, he sat down opposite Lan Xuanyu.
Lan Xuanyu quickly replied, "It was fine."
Chen Yilei said, "That''s good. I have reviewed your information and consulted with themander. After considering the opinions of your academy, we will arrange the following for you. The thirty-three of you will be dispersed to various fleets. Because your personal abilities are all very outstanding, you will be assigned to the exploration teams of various fleets. Although you will be dispersed, it will be ensured that you are in groups of at least five people, after all, you are familiar with each other. It will probably be divided into five groups. You will decide specifically how to group yourselves."
Chapter 975: Dragon Three
Upon hearing Chen Yileis words, Lan Xuanyu felt a sense of relief. He had been somewhat worried that if everyone went their separate ways, they would not be able to take care of each other during the mission in theing year. However, if they were divided into teams and sent to different warships, this wouldn''t be a problem.
"No problem. Chief of Staff, what kind of task is the exploration team going to perform?" Lan Xuanyu asked.
Chen Yilei said: "The mission of the exploration team is quiteplicated and bears certain dangers. Generally speaking, exploration teams wouldplete different exploration tasks based on their ranks. The most difficult task is to execute missions within the territory of hostile forces. You should be mentally prepared for this, as you may very likely carry out such tasks. Of course, the premise is that you first be familiar with our fleet. The exploration process includes special operations, which I believe is what you are best at. Although you already hold the rank of Major General, because your situation is quite special and your rank was solely based on the tasks you''ve aplished as a Sky Fighter, at present, I can only give you the position of exploration team leader and hang abat staff member in the staff department. After you have made military contributions, your position can be adjusted."
"I understand," Lan Xunyu had never imagined that just by receiving the rank of Major General, he would be a fleetmander upon arriving here. This was the military, and his rank was essentially meaningless; it had the grade, but no real power.
"That''s the general situation. You have one day of rest time. After you return,e back with the groupposition as soon as possible. Within twenty-four hours, we will assign you your tasks."
"Yes," he replied.
The entire debriefing process was not long. Lan Xunyu took the shuttle, and Zhan Ge, a major general, sent him to the temporary residence.
The temporary residence was on the edge of the living area of the fleet. Every officer above the rank of colonel had their own room with a bathroom on the gship, and the higher the rank, therger the room. Below the rank of colonel, four people shared a room.
The living area on the mother ship was quiterge, really not much different from a city. Lan Xuanyu and his team had not been assigned yet, and were probably not going to stay on the mothership. Zhan Ge instructed him not to leave the rest area and wait for his assignment.
Before Lan Xuanyu returned, his other camarades had already been settled. Since it was a temporary residence, there were two people per room. Thirty-three was an odd number, so they naturally left the single room for Lan Xuanyu.
Lan Xuanyu immediately gathered his teammates together, and the first thing he had to do was group them.
If thirty-three people were divided into five groups, each group would have six to seven people. The seven people in their team would naturally not be separated, and when they returned to Shrek Academy, they would still have topete as Shrek Seven Monsters.
Grouping was not difficult, as everyone had been learning and practicing together for so many years, and they were all familiar with each other. Everyone knew who would be in which group. For example, Bing Tianliang, Lin Donghui, and Yu Tian would definitely be in the same group. Li Han, Li Bin, and Jia Yu would also be in the same group to ensure the strongestbat power.
Tan Xiaodao and Piao Xiaoxu were a childhood couple, so naturally they would be in the same group.
The grouping was quicklypleted, with two groups of six people, but these two groups were rtively strong as a whole. The other three groups consisted of seven people each.
Each group had its own leader. Lan Xuanyu''s group was self-evident. The leaders of the other four groups were Ding Zhuohan, Bing Tianliang, Wang Ziyao, and Shi Xinyu, respectively.
Among them, Shi Xinyu was the Twelfth Wing of the Thirty-Three Sky Wings, and Wang Ziyao was the Thirteenth Wing, both with the cultivation of a seven-ring Soul Sage. Wang Ziyao had powerful skills in mid-rangebat, with her martial soul being the Purple Gold Hairpin, and she specialized in the Tang Sect''s unique Art of Hidden Weapons, making her almost invincible against all agility-basedbat Soul Masters.
Yuenen Huihui was the top scorer in long-range attacks in the whole ss, but in mid-rangebat, Wang Ziyao was the most powerful.
Wang Ziyao also had a younger brother who was the Twenty-First Wing of the ss, a six-ring Soul Emperor, with a rare body-type martial soul. His martial soul was his hands, and he and Wang Ziyao cooperated with each other, one far and one near. Although they didn''t have a soul fusion skill, their tacit understanding added to their strength, which was not inferior to that of a soul fusion skill.
Shi Xinyu was a traditional control-type Soul Master, best at reconnaissance and control. When he had a one-on-one match with Ding Zhuohan, they once fought for more than three hours, both being tortured by the other''s control.
The Bing Tianliang Trio brought along the Li Han, Li Bin, and Jia Yu trio. Because all six of them were experts in offensive abilities, with Li Han''s group being particrly skilled in area-of-effect attacks and control, they were familiar with each other''s strengths and coordinated well.
After the groups were assigned, they were likely to not see each other for the next year. Lan Xuanyu reminded everyone to be careful during missions and prioritize safety. If they encountered danger, they were to immediately request assistance.
The Space Fleet came equipped with a satellite system for inter-fleetmunication. Therefore, as long as they used the fleet''s satellite ry, they could contact each other. Of course, it was not allowed to contact across ranks, and requests for assistance could only be made within their own fleet.
After submitting the group list, everyone returned to their rooms to rest. Eight hourster, themand center issued orders.
The thirty-three members of the Sky Wings were divided into five small groups and assigned to different fleets, each group to be led by a different warship.
Among them, the other four groups were all assigned to warships, while Lan Xuanyu and their group were assigned to the third Dragon King-ss escort ship of the Seventh Fleet, abbreviated as Dragon Three within the Seventh Fleet.
This was unavoidable, as Lan Xuanyu''s own rank was too high, and the captain of the warship was only a major general. How could hemand him to carry out missions? The Dragon King-ss escort ship was different, as the captain was a lieutenant general, and some senior captains even held the rank of general, with higher military ranks than him, somanding him was naturally not a problem.
After the assignments werepleted, they immediately set off. The mothership dispatched transport ships to send Lan Xuanyu and their group to their respective warships.
Thus began the Thirty-Three Sky Wings military career.
The Dragon King-ss escort ship was the second most powerful presence in the Federal Fleet system, surpassed only by the mothership, with strong offensive and defensive capabilities. Each Dragon King-ss escort ship was an extremely powerful existence.
Lan Xuanyu, Bai Xiuxiu, Tang Yu Ge, Lan Meng Qin, Qian Lei, Liu Feng, and Yuenen Huihui Hui, a group of seven, were sent to the Dragon Three escort ship on a small transport ship.
The transport ship was sucked into the Dragon Three and slowly docked in the berth area.
A major general and four military officers of various ranks were already waiting outside. Lan Xuanyu straightened his military uniform and walked down the transport ship with his colleagues.
The old major general, with white hair and a weather-beaten face that gave off a sense of killing intent, was at least sixty or seventy years old. Lan Xuanyu approached him and they saluted each other.
The old major general, Shen Junkai, spoke in a deep voice: "Greetings, Major General Lan Xuanyu. I am Shen Junkai. On behalf of the Dragon Three, I wee your arrival."
"Greetings, General Shen. Please take care of us in the future." Lan Xuanyu smiled and said.
The two shook hands, and Shen Junkai''s hand wasrge and powerful. His soul power was extremely strong, and in Lan Xuanyu''s perception, he should be at the level of a eight-ring Soul Douluo or so.
Shen Junkai said in a deep voice, "I am in charge of the operations in Dragon Three. ording to the orders from the fleet headquarters, you will be assigned to the Dragon Threebat unit from now on. Since you have no military experience, you will need to undergo a month of training first, and then your positions will be arranged ording to your performance during the training. I hope you can showcase your strengths during the training."
"Understood," Lan Xuanyu nodded in agreement.
Shen Junkai turned to the person behind him and said, "Colonel He Qingyi will be in charge of this training. You will undergo this training together with the newly promoted officers."
Colonel He Qingyi was a middle-aged man with a darkplexion and piercing eyes. He walked up and greeted Major General Lan Xuanyu with a military salute, saying, "Greetings, Major General Lan Xuanyu, I am He Qingyi. In training, regardless of rank, everyone is treated equally, please be aware of this. During military training, everyone will only wearbat uniforms and not disy their ranks."

Chapter 976: Meeting With An Acquaintance
TL: GoldenLung
"Understood." Lan Xuanyu nodded again, with some doubts in his mind about whether the rule of not wearing military ranks was specifically made for him. But he did understand that it was really not justifiable for a general to receive training from junior officers.
Shen Junkai said, "Okay, then you will undergo training first. After the training, tasks will be assigned."
After saying this, Shen Junkai left. He Qiying then took Lan Xuanyu and the others to another car. The Dragon King-ss escort ship was over 4,500 meters in length, equally huge in size, but it was not as spacious as the mothership and was rtively narrower and more flexible.
He Qiying asked Lan Xuanyu and the other six people to get on the shuttle and said, "General Lan Xuanyu, during the training, all trainees need to live together. Four people will temporarily stay in one room. After the training is over, we will arrange amodation. Please understand."
"Ok, understood," nodded Lan Xuanyu. They were all neers, and military ranks meant levels, but here, ranks probably meant nothing. This was evident from the attitudes of the several generals they had met. Most of the officers from the Seventh Fleet were somewhat disdainful of them. After all, Lan Xuanyu and his team were too young, and while a colonel was eptable, being a major general made him the center of attention. So, now it was useless to say anything. In the military, if you wanted to have a say, you had to rely on strength.
Dragon Three''s training area was in the middle of the warship, a separate area. He Qingyi first assigned rooms to the seven of them, then issuedbat uniforms and the exclusivemunication passwords for the Dragon Three warship. With this, they could use their own soulmunication devices to connect to the internalmunication system of the Dragon Three fleet. Of course, themunication could only be within the Seventh Fleet, and satellite signals would not be opened for remotemunication.
Two days ofbat uniforms were given to them, without any weapons or equipment. These were all the items they received in Dragon Three.
Lan Xuanyu, Yuenen Huihui, Qian Lei, and Liu Feng shared a room, while Bai Xiuxiu, Lan Mengqin, and Tang Yuge shared another. He Qingyi instructed them to change out of their military uniforms and intobat gear. They would all gather together in an hour.
"Boss, do you think they''re trying to intimidate us?" Qian Lei asked Lan Xuanyu as he changed into hisbat uniform.
Lan Xuanyu chuckled. "It''s only natural. After all, we''re outsiders and we hold higher ranks. It''s normal for them to be cautious until they get to know us. We''ll just do whatever they ask of us."
Yuenen Huihui added, "Exactly. When it''s time to carry out missions, they''ll see our abilities. I wonder what they''re going to train us for next."
Lan Xuanyu said, "We have not received formal military training before, everyone should take this training seriously, especially the knowledge concerning the space fleet. We came here to learn and gain experience. Even if the other trainees are hostile towards us, lets bear with it for now."
The other three nodded in agreement. This was not a school, and as neers, it was necessary for them to keep a low profile.
Thebat uniforms of the Seventh Fleet were also navy blue. As He Qingyi had mentioned, there were no military ranks on the uniforms, and all the uniforms looked the same. They were made of special materials with an automatic temperature control system that could adjust the temperature on its own, making them veryfortable to wear. Thebat uniforms also had an automatic oxygen supply system inside, which could sustain life for a short period even in space. All of these were the crystallization of the Federation''s technology.
An hourter, some sharp bells suddenly rang, waking up the people who were resting. Quickly walking out of the room, they saw dozens of soldiers dressed inbat uniforms walking out of the dormitory.
Although Lan Xuanyu and his friends did not know where to gather, they could naturally find the gathering ce by following these people.
The seven of them gathered together first, and then followed the others quickly.
There was an empty space in front of the dormitory, and the others quickly lined up in a neat formation in front, obviously they had been training here for more than one day.
Lan Xuanyu and his seven friends stood at the back, and through observation, he found that the officers being trained were both male and female, each with a serious expression and no talking, standing in strict military posture.
He Qingyi and another colonel walked over from a distance and came to the forefront of the crowd. Compared to when he previously met Lan Xuanyu and the others, the colonel appeared more serious at this moment.
"Today, seven new recruits have joined the training. Since the training is about to enter the second stage, new members need to self-study the first stage''s regtions, discipline, and officer duties. Relevant materials will be sent to yourmunicators. The second stage is more like a test than training. Each of you will face tasks andplete them in a simtion cabin. Thepletion of the tasks will determine your subsequent allocation. Being here means that you havepleted your responsibilities well in your previous positions, but if you want to go further, you need to work harder. Everyone, turn left and enter the simtion cabin."
Lan Xuanyu listened carefully at the back. The things about military regtions and officer duties were indeed what they needed to learn and study on their own afterwards. Was the current training more about assessing their abilities on the field? If it was, they had never been afraid of it before. They had passed the graduation exam of Shrek Academy. The assessment of the army couldn''t be more difficult than that.
Normally, in order to be a soldier in the space fleet, one needed to undergo years of training. The training at regr military schools, various tests, and at least five to ten years of cultivation were required for outstanding individuals to join the fleet. The space fleet was the most powerful force in the Douluo Federation, and the requirements for every soldier were extremely high.
Lan Xuanyu even suspected that the military regtions and discipline mentioned today were mainly targeted at them. They joined the army directly without any military training and became officers.
Of course, the fleet did not treat them like regr soldiers. They would be assigned to exploration teams to carry out special missions. There were other people who joined the army as "Skyfighters" and were treated in the same way. This allowed everyone to make the most of their abilities. However, it was rare for someone from a "Skyfighters" background to rise to the level ofmanding a warship in the military. Of course, top-tier experts still yed an extremely important role in a fleet, and their status was not lower than that of amander.
For example, in the seven major fleets of the Federation, the gship of each fleet was almost alwaysmanded by a god-level expert. While their authority was rtively small, their status was high. "Skyfighters" were generally ssified in this category.
The training that Dragon Three designed for Lan Xuanyu and his team was actually a test of their abilities to see how far they could go, and to assign tasks ordingly. They were already given the green light. Normally, even if a fighter joins the military with a certain rank, they still need to undergo some training, let alone jump straight into the Dragon King-ss warship to perform missions.
The simted cabins in the military looked very distinctive, without any fancy decorations. They looked like metal coffins
Entering the simted cabin required special connectors on the wrists and ankles, as well as a special connector on the head. It felt a bit like ascending the Spirit Tower or the Soul tform.
Lan Xuanyu and his team were introduced to such a simtor for the first time. Under He Qingyi''smand, they were taught by other school-level military officers on how to operate it. The officer in charge of teaching Lan Xuanyu was a female officer. Upon receiving the teaching order, she turned around and walked straight to Lan Xuanyu.
A chilly voice sounded, "Four mps, mp them on your wrists and ankles respectively, connect them smoothly, and the mps will turn blue. Put on the headgear, make sure the conductive patches on the forehead, temples, and headgear are in contact, and tighten the back. After entering, lie down. The pain in the simtion cabin is one hundred percent real, and there is no difference from reality. If you die, it is likely to cause a shock to your nerves, so do not treat it as an ordinary weakly-painful simtor."
The female officer in front of them had a neat brown bob, and as she spoke, she lowered her head to pick up the corresponding item in the simted cockpit and gestured towards Lan Xuanyu. However, she didn''t even look at Lan Xuanyu, and her demeanor, just like her voice, carried a hint of coldness. It was obvious that she projected an auta of keeping people at a distance.
Lan Xuanyu looked at her intently, his eyes showing some confusion, as he asked tentatively, "You are?"
The female officer lifted her head, her light green eyes coldly gazing at Lan Xuanyu. But when their eyes met, she also hesitated for a moment.
Lan Xuanyu''s beautiful ck eyes made her feel very familiar, and the coldness on her body dissipated slightly. "You," he said.
"Ye Lingtong?" Lan Xuanyu asked tentatively, looking up and down at her, not entirely sure.
The female officer was around 1.7 meters tall, with a slender and upright figure, delicate and beautiful facial features, and a cold temperament that made her an absolute beauty in the military. She looked about the same age as Lan Xuanyu. "Lan Xuanyu?" Ye Lingtong could hardly believe her eyes.

Chapter 977: It Hurts…
TL: GoldenLung
Since the day Lan Xuanyu left Heaven Luo, they hadn''t seen each other again. It had been six years since they parted ways, and in those six years, they had both undergone significant changes from adolescence to young adulthood. So when they first saw each other again, they were both a bit unsure if it was really the other person.
Lan Xuanyu was able to recognize Ye Lingtong because her light brown hair was quite rare. When she looked up and revealed her light green eyes, Lan Xuanyu was finally certain it was her. Her unique hair and eye color,bined with her familiar face
"It''s really me! This is so unexpected, we actually ran into each other here," Lan Xuanyu eximed in surprise.
Ye Lingtong was equally surprised. "Didn''t you go to Shrek Academy? Have you graduated already?"
Lan Xuanyu nodded and said, "I guess we graduated now. We graduated from the Outer Court. What about you? You joined the military?"
Ye Lingtong looked at Lan Xuanyu with aplex expression in her eyes, just like her attitude towards him back then. Since Lan Xuanyu killed her in the Douluo world, she really hated this guy at that time. Later, when Lan Xuanyu was admitted to Shrek Academy, she felt even more jealous.
During that time, her mentality had a big issue, and it was only after under her father''s guidance that she gradually came out of it. But it also further stimted herpetitive spirit. Following her father''s arrangement, she chose a high-level military academy to enter and study. Over the six years, she put in much more effort than her peers did, coupled with the excellence of her own Sky Dragon Martial Soul, she graduated as the top ranked student in the military academy, directly joining the Federal Seventh Fleet.
Someone as outstanding as her was very wee in the military, especially since she graduated with the highest grades from the affiliated military academy of the Seventh Fleet. After graduating from the academy, she should have held the rank of second lieutenant, and the most outstanding graduates could be awarded the rank of first lieutenant. However, she was promoted to the rank of major, bing the first graduate of the academy to do so. During her time in school, she received almost all the honors that the academy had to offer and was the center of attention.
In her heart, she always felt like she needed to prove herself. What was so great about Shrek Academy? Even though she didn''t pass the exam, she had to be better than Lan Xuanyu. Joining the Seventh Fleet as a major only increased her confidence. But as she grew older, her mentality also matured, and her experience as a top student made her constantly evolve. The paranoia of her youth has diminished, but herpetitive spirit has only grown stronger.
A few days ago, Ye Lingtong was still thinking about what choices Lan Xuanyu would have if he graduated from Shrek Academy. But she didn''t expect to encounter Lan Xuanyu on the training ground today. For a moment, her heart was filled with mixed feelings and she couldn''t find the words to say.
"Hurry up and enter the simtion cabin as soon as possible," came He Qingyi''s voice.
Only then did Ye Lingtong wake up and quickly said, "You go into the simtion cabin first. Every assessment is important." After speaking, she hastily nced at Lan Xuanyu before turning around and entering her own simtion cabin.
Although it was just a quick nce, Lan Xuanyu''s figure was instantly imprinted in her mind.
The changes of a boy from 12 to 18 years old were much greater than those of a girl. Compared to before, Lan Xuanyu had grown a lot taller, with a height of over 1.9 meters, broad shoulders, slim waist, and a pair ofrge, restrained and shining eyes. His handsome face could be described as impable.
Although deep down inside, Ye Lingtong had always had the desire topare herself to him, and even thought about stepping on him for revenge. But at this moment, she was surprised to find that she didn''t seem to hate this guy anymore. Not only that, but she also had some strange feelings towards him. She couldn''t help but ask herself in her heart, what was wrong with her?
And she suddenly realized that Lan Xuanyu had alsoe to participate in this training, which meant that he was also a field officer? Had she still failed to close the gap between them? He was still so outstanding.
One by one, the simtion cabins closed and connected.
Lan Xuanyu''s vision was plunged into darkness, and the next moment, a series of prompts sounded.
"Body monitoring: vital signs normal, mental fluctuations normal. Permission granted to enter."
"First connection detected, body scan and identity are being conducted."
"Wee, Major Lan Xuanyu. This is the exclusive Douluo World of the Seventh Fleet. You are currently in the exclusive training area. Do you want to connect ?"
Lan Xuanyu chose to connect.
The next moment, his eyes lit up, and his body felt a change. After a momentary dizziness, Lan Xuanyu found himself standing in a room.
All the field-level military officers participating in the training appeared here. Not far in front of Lan Xuanyu was Ye Lingtong.
At this moment, Ye Lingtong was also looking in his direction.
Just then, Lan Xuanyu suddenly felt a pain in his lower back and quickly turned his head to look back.
Bai Xiuxiu was smiling at him. Her deep blue long hair wasbed into a scorpion braid behind her head, which did not affect her movements. Her stunning beauty was like a blooming flower in her smile. "Did you meet an acquaintance? Care to introduce me?"
A sense of unease instantly rose in Lan Xuanyu''s heart. At this moment, Ye Lingtong naturally also heard Bai Xiuxiu''s voice and looked towards her.
The two women''s eyes met, and Bai Xiuxiu smiled and nodded at Ye Lingtong. However, upon seeing her, Ye Lingtong''s heart slightly shook.
The girl standing beside Lan Xuanyu, with a scorpion braid behind her head, was too beautiful. Her deep blue eyes were like deep and cold pools, and her long eyshes trembled slightly with a smile. She had a high nose bridge, lips that were thin and just the right thickness, and bright and discerning eyes. She was slightly taller than Ye Lingtong, and at this moment, her body was leaning slightly towards Lan Xuanyu''s side. From the perspective of Ye Lingtong''s line of sight, it looked like she was cuddling up to Lan Xuanyu.
Ye Lingtong had always been confident about her appearance, but looking at her, especially when she stood next to Lan Xuanyu, there was a feeling of reluctance to look directly at her. Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu stood together, like a perfect match made in heaven, the Creator''s most perfect masterpiece.
"Cough, cough. Let me introduce you guys, Xiuxiu, this is Ye Lingtong. We were ssmates in Heaven Luo before. Hmm, she also knows Qian Lei and Frenzie," Lan Xuanyu exined.
Bai Xiuxiu listened to Lan Xuanyu''s exnation, smiled politely, and nodded to Ye Lingtong, saying softly, "Hello."
What Ye Lingtong couldn''t see was that her fingers, which were pinching Lan Xuanyu''s waist, had rotated ny degrees.
Lan Xuanyu gritted his teeth in pain and said to Ye Lingtong, "This is my" He had only said three words when he clearly felt the fingers behind him tighten, and without hesitation, he continued, "girlfriend Bai Xiuxiu."
After listening to his introduction, the fingers behind the waist immediately loosened and rubbed lightly on the previously twisted spot. Obviously, Xiuxiu was satisfied with his introduction.
Ye Lngtong''s eyes narrowed slightly, and she calmly said, "Romance in the army must be cautious. To avoid viting militaryw."
Bai Xiuxiu smiled and said, "We are new here and don''t understand militaryw. We will ask for your guidance in the future."
Ye Lngtong frowned slightly, nodded, and walked away.
Lan Xuanyu was about to breathe a sigh of relief when his ear suddenly hurt. It turned out that Bai Xiuxiu had grabbed him and whispered, "Not bad! Childhood sweethearts are pretty."
Lan Xuanyu smiled wryly and said, "Be gentle. Where did the childhood sweethearte from? We not only don''t have a childhood sweetheart, but we also have grudges. If you don''t believe me, ask Frenzie and Fatty. But it''s been so many years, everyone has grown up, so let it go. Who still cares about what happened when we were kids?"
"Hmph!" Bai Xiuxiu let go of his hand and rubbed his ear. "Let''s see how you perform."
Lan Xuanyu chuckled and said, "I didn''t expect you to be so jealous!"
This remark only earned Bai Xiuxiu an eye roll.

At that moment, He Qingyi''s voice had already sounded ahead, "Everyone, set off. Our destination is Starry Sky City. During the journey to Starry Sky City, you will encounter various enemy attacks. It''s a ten-kilometer journey, and you must arrive within thirty minutes. You''ll be scored based on your time. Let''s go."
As they walked out of the room, their field of vision suddenly widened, and a wildernessy before them. Looking around, they could see hills and valleys in every direction.
They didn''t need coordinates or navigation; Lan Xuanyu and the others could see where Starry Sky City was, as it was a city floating in the sky.
In their diagonal front, a huge city floated several kilometers high. The city seemed to be entirely made of steel, and they could see it clearly. Moreover, there was ayer of light shield released on the city''s surface, seeming like a protective shield.
The sky was free, but in the sky, there were many creatures flying. These creatures, which looked simr to flying spirit beasts, hovered in the air. Obviously, they were the obstacles for those who wanted to go to the Starry Sky City. To reach the Starry Sky City, one had to pass through these flying creatures.
Not far from Lan Xuanyu, Ye Lingtong turned her head and nced at him without saying anything. Suddenly, a ck mecha appeared in front of her with a sh of light. The height of this mecha was only 4.5 meters, and it looked rtively small among mechas. But the ck coating already indicated its strength. As the mecha opened, Ye Lingtong leaped into it. At the moment the cabin door closed, Lan Xuanyu clearly saw the burning fighting spirit in Ye Lingtong''s eyes.
The next moment, the ck-grade mecha had already taken off and rushed into the sky like an arrow.
Arge bird with a wingspan of over six meters was the first to spot her, and it instantly charged towards her mech. The metallic sheen of the bird''s wings sparkled in the sunlight.
However, Ye Lingtong''s ck grade mecha didn''t even try to avoid it. It charged forward with a fierce determination, and suddenly a bright white light appeared on the surface of the mech. With a loud bang, the bird''s body shattered upon impact, and Ye Lingtong''s ck grade mecha soared higher into the sky. Facing the obstruction of flying creatures, it unhesitatingly continued its fierce onught.
The other officers also disyed their abilities and put on their mechs, taking to the sky. They were all clearly soul masters, but within the military, their reliance on mechs was obviously stronger. Mechs ascended into the air, fighting against the flying creatures while flying towards Starry Sky City.
However, the seven members of Lan Xuanyu''s team remained motionless in ce. Because Lan Xuanyu didn''t move, the others waited as well.
They looked up and observed for a while, and then realized that those flying creatures were probably not soul beasts because they didn''t see any powerful soul skills. In rtive terms, it was more like a group of flying creatures with much strongerbat power than ordinary birds, but only relying on physical fitness inbat. There were more of them, but their individualbat power was not too strong, at most equivalent to the level of a hundred-year soul beast.
He Qingyi also watched below, and he had already noticed that the seven people led by Lan Xuanyu had stopped moving, but he didn''t urge them. After all, Lan Xuanyu''s military rank was higher than his. Although military ranks couldn''t be disyed here, a general was still a general.
"Let''s go up, Sky Wings Fighter mode. We still need good results." Lan Xuanyu smiled and said. In front of the seven people, a light shimmered simultaneously, and seven purple mechas appeared in front of them.
Upon seeing the purple mechas they released, He Qingyi furrowed her brow. As outstanding students from Shrek Academy, and even as Inner Court students, did they only have purple-level mechas? Moreover, their mechas appeared to berger, all over six meters. ording to modern mecha standards, the more powerful a mecha, the more it should control its size to ensure agility.
In the sky, Ye Lingtong, who had already flown out more than half the distance, naturally saw the situation below. Seven purple-level mechas? And they only looked like ordinary purple-level mechas? Was this the level of Shrek Academy?
Just as she was doubting in her heart, Lan Xuanyu and the other six people had already climbed into their mechas, and the seven figures soared into the sky.
As the mechas began to rise, those purple-level mechas had already started to transform.
Skywing Mecha, transform!
Almost in an instant, the seven Sky Wing mechas transformed into Sky Wing Fighters, with their tail mes spitting out and breaking the sound barrier with a deep roar. The seven fighters soared up into the sky, forming a neat triangr formation and instantly charging into the high altitude.
Flying creatures also noticed them and tried to intercept, but the problem was that the flying speed of these creatures was too slow for the Sky Wing Fighters, and they couldn''t catch up with them at all.
As the leader of the formation, Lan Xuanyu easily piloted his fighter, evading the creatures with small movements and breaking out of their encirclement. With the absolute advantage of speed, he effortlessly weaved through the gaps between the creatures and soared into the high altitude.
Back when he was in the Chaos Star Field, he dared to challenge warships with his fighter, let alone this kind of childish assessment in front of him. He had no desire to fight at all.
In almost just a few breaths, the seven Sky Wings fighter jets had surpassed everyone before and arrived outside the Starry Sky City shield.
The fighters transformed again, and Lan Xuanyu reached out to touch the shield. He discovered that the shield was strong, but not too strong. It was probably only meant to defend against flying creatures equivalent to hundred-year soul beasts.
It seemed that passing through the shield was also part of the test, but it didn''t pose a challenge to him. With a sh of deep blue light in his hand, Lan Xuanyu wielded the Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd, and the shield couldn''t withstand the power of his unstoppable divine weapon. He sliced open a gap, and the other six people followed him into it. Lan Xuanyu was thest one to enter.
After he entered, the shield disappeared without a sound.
"What''s going on?" Lan Xuanyu was a little stunned, but the Starry Sky City was right in front of them. They flew directly towards the floating city.
In fact, breaking through the shield was not even a part of the assessment. It was not something that a regr mecha pilot could break through. It was just that Lan Xuanyu and his team were flying too fast, and the shield didn''t have time to deactivate
He Qingyi was a little absent-minded as she watched from below, and even Ye Lingtong, who was charging forward, was a little distracted, causing her to deviate from her original position and be hit by a flying creature.
Mecha transformed into a fighter jet? What kind of ck technology was that!
At this point, Lan Xuanyu and his team of seven had alreadynded on the Starry Sky City. They didn''t know exactly where they shouldnd, so they justnded on the surface of the city and retracted their Sky Wings mechas. Thirty minutes? They didn''t even need thirty seconds!
This assessment was not particrly difficult, especially for Lan Xuanyu and his team, who found it very simple.
Six minutester, Ye Lingtong broke through the encirclement. The closer she got to Starry Sky City, the denser the flying creatures became. It was already very impressive that she could reach there in six minutes, which earned her the top spot among the officers of her school. However,pared to Lan Xuanyu and the others who rushed up in just over ten seconds, she still had a long way to go.
Landing not far from Lan Xuanyu and the others, Ye Lingtong retracted her mecha and her gaze changed when she looked at Lan Xuanyu and his group. Her strongpetitiveness burst into mes.
A special mecha? A mecha that could transform into a fighter? If she had such a mecha, she should be able topete with them, right? Sheforted herself in her heart.
However, none of the seven people in Lan Xuanyu''s group paid any attention to them. Under Lan Xuanyu''s leadership, they all looked at the content about military rules and discipline that had already been transmitted through the soulmunicator, using the time to learn while they had nothing to do.
When thest school-level officer finally boarded Starry Sky City, it took him 25 minutes. All the people hadpleted the assessment tasks.

Chapter 979: We Could Do It Without Them
TL: GoldenLung
He Qingyi also arrived, "Everyone assemble. The assessment just now was just an appetizer for you. The time to show your abilities as Starry Sky Warriors ising. Enter the airport through the entrance 700 meters to the left, prepare to take off, and pilot the fighter to perform the mission."
Pilot a fighter to perform the mission? Only now did Lan Xuanyu and his sevenrades raise their heads. Compared with the previous assessment, remembering military regtions and discipline was much more daunting for them. There were many items in the military regtions and discipline, and it really took some time to memorize them.
Lan Xuanyu took a few steps forward, saluted, and said, "Report." This was a military regtion he had just learned, and he had to say "report" when speaking to a superior.
He Qingyi was stunned for a moment, and quickly returned the salute, "Please speak." He added a "please" to Lan Xuanyu.
"May we use our own fighters?" Lan Xuanyu asked.
He Qingyi said, "Permission granted." He also wanted to see what advantages the Sky Wings fighter jet of Lan Xuanyu and his team hadpared to ordinary fighter jets. Their transforming mechas were really advanced. It was worth noting that the military equipped by the space fleet included both fighter jets and mechas, but their roles were different. One excelled in speed, while the other in groundbat. If these two could be integrated, it would be much more convenient for both space and groundbat. Undoubtedly, the Sky Wings mecha could bring great benefits to the military.
He had just sent the video to General Shen Junjie. If the military could be equipped with the Sky Wings mecha in the future, their Dragon 31 team should strive for it first. Therefore, he eagerly wanted to see what capabilities the Sky Wings mecha could disy, so that he could record and strive for it in the future.
Upon seeing the Sky Wings Mech, He Qingyi felt for the first time that bringing Lan Xuanyu and the others to Dragon Three was a good thing. At least they brought thetest technology! However, he didn''t know if this was Tang Sect''s technology or Shrek Academy''s.
He Qingyi said, "I have sent the details of the next mission to your soulmunication devices. You can confirm the mission objectives and carry out the mission. Let''s begin immediately."
"Yes." Although Lan Xuanyu had a higher military rank, he was currently receiving training from the instructor. Following the military rules he had just learned, he responded immediately.
Soon after, the mission objectives were transmitted through themunication devices.
The next assessment was called "Aircraft Confrontation." They faced an unknown enemy fleet with a total of sixty enemy nes, more than double their own. The assessment required them to survive in the uing aerialbat and destroy as many enemy nes as possible to determine their score based on realbat performance.
After reviewing the assessment content, Lan Xuanyu couldn''t help but nce at the field officers still running towards the airport.
Qian Lei couldn''t help but say, "I think we could do it without them, dont we?"
"Lay low!" Lan Mengqin tapped him lightly.
Before He Qingyi could understand their meaning, the seven of them had already boarded the Sky Wing mechs and ascended into the sky. The seven Sky Wing fighter jets streaked across the sky and instantly soared into the high altitude.
Ye Lngtong rushed into the hangar, her speed was the fastest, and she immediately chose the nearest fighter and boarded it. All the students in the Star Command System must learn to pilot a fighter. This was the foundation for entering the space fleet and the basic course formanding star wars.
She activated the buttons on the fighter, and after a simple check, she confirmed the mission. The fighter slowly slid out under her control and entered theunch orbit.
Three, two, one, countdown.
With a "whoosh," the fighter wasunched, its tail mes spewing out as it charged into the void.
If she had a fighter just now, she could have rushed to the Starry Sky City just as quickly. It must have been because they relied on the advantage of the mecha''s ability to transform. ?
Ye Lngtong was also confident in her piloting skills. She had put in a lot of effort in this area.
The fighter jet rushed into the air, adjusted its position, and activated the manual driving mode. Truly excellent fighter jet pilots drove their aircraft manually because manual driving allowed for greater limits to be pushed and extreme maneuvers to be performed duringbat.
But at that moment, she saw seven fighter jets flying towards her direction.
The enemy was here! Ye Lingtong''s pupils contracted, her whole body tensed up, and her spiritual power flowed through her body as she entered her optimal state. Her hands moved quickly, and the fighter jet was prepared forbat at any moment.
However, in the next moment, she suddenly felt that the fighter jets in the distance looked familiar. The other party also clearly had no intention of fighting her, as the fighter jet slightly adjusted its direction and flew to the side.
"Beep beep beep, emergency notice. Assessment has changed. All fighter jets return to the hangar. Repeat, emergency notice"
Holding the microphone in his hand and issuing an emergency notice, He Qingyi''s emotions were mixed.
Just moments ago, he had understood the meaning of Qian Lei''s words. Yes, the other field officers didn''t need to go. The problem had already been solved.
Sixty enemy nes in just a few minutes. While the other field officers were still in the process of boarding their nes, the battle had ended.
Seven Sky Wings fighter jets had flown into the enemy''s ranks, and the actual fighting processsted only two minutes and forty-seven seconds. The battle was over.
He Qingyi had only seen a burst of explosive mes, and even the monitoring system couldn''t capture the entire process of the battle. The fight was over.
The seven Sky Wings fighter jets were intact and had already returned, while the other nes were just taking off.
Even if it were just Lan Xuanyu alone, let alone the seven people, handling 60 fighter jets wouldn''t pose much of a challenge for him.. He was Super God 58, a top-level fighter pilot in the entire federation. Those who were stronger than him in this aspect were mostly existences at the level of Titled Douluo. Lan Xuanyu''s piloting skills hadn''t even incorporated his own soul techniques yet.
He Qingyi now began to understand why the Fleet Headquarters attached so much importance to the arrival of the Thirty-Three Sky Wings. It seemed that they were really different!
Was the Shrek Academy''s education in fighter piloting also this impressive? Weren''t they mainly focused on teaching soul masters?
He now realized that Dragon Three''s decision was wrong, to train them together with a group of field officers didn''t seem appropriate. With such a big gap, wouldn''t it put pressure on other field officers? Or make them have a mental breakdown?
So he didn''t mention that sixty fighter jets had already been destroyed during the emergency notification.
All the fighter jets returned to the hangar, and Lan Xuanyu and his team also returned to their side. Seeing their bewildered colleagues, Lan Xuanyu and his team didn''t say anything. It wasn''t worth showing off; they were too weak.
It was still much harder to learn military rules and discipline.
He Qingyi didn''te directly, but instead called Shen Junjie''smunication number and reported the situation on their side.
After Shen Junjie listened, he was also shocked.
"Have them stay put for now, I''lle over right away."
Ten minutester, Shen Junjie arrived at Starry Sky City. When the junior officers saw the general, they immediately stood up straight, not daring to rx in the slightest.
Shen Junjie''s gaze swept over Lan Xuanyu and his team, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Lan Xuanyu''s team, follow me."
Lan Xuanyu and the other seven people walked out and followed Shen Junjie.
As they left, the other school-level military officers visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Wow, these new guys are quite impressive. I wonder where they came from. Their previous actions may have earned Shen Junjie''s appreciation, or perhaps they angered him. Let''s hope it''s not thetter, or they''ll be in trouble."
Shen Junjie was the vice-captain of Dragon Three and also the head of the operations department. Despite his advanced age, he was known for his tough and upromising style. However, he had offended high-level officials in the military, or else he would have long been more than just a major general.
Shen Junjie led Lan Xuanyu and the seven others into a separate room and closed the door behind them. He gestured for them to sit down.
Chapter 980: Check-in at Dragon 3
TL: GoldenLung
"I''ve heard some things about your situation, Major Lan Xuanyu, but it seems that my understanding was not profound enough. I apologize for that. This training may not be very meaningful to you. However, you still need to learn the basic military rules andws. I will immediately arrange for you to enter the barracks and assign you a ce to stay. Because of your special nature, you will be assigned together. May I ask what level of Sky Fighter missions you canplete?"
"We shouldn''t have a problempleting a level five mission," Lan Xuanyu said.
Shen Junjie''s expression changed slightly. A level five Sky Fighter mission was already a high level. He knew that he had underestimated the strength of these young people. Even if they graduated from Shrek Academy, if they only graduated from the Outer Court, they would not be able to perform a level five Sky Fighter mission under normal circumstances.
"Okay, I understand. We will have someone send you to our Dragon Three living area and arrange your amodation. Please wait for further notice."
"Okay."
Although the training had just started, Shen Junjie knew that military training had little significance for Lan Xuanyu and the others. It would only affect other field officers here. It was better to make other arrangements.
Shen Junjie hurriedly left, and Lan Xuanyu and the others returned to the ranks of field officers.
Ye Lingtong came to Lan Xuanyu and asked in confusion, "What did Head Shen want with you guys?"
Lan Xuanyu replied, "We may have other arrangements and cannot continue to participate in the training."
"Is that so? What arrangements?" Ye Lingtong couldn''t help but ask again.
Lan Xuanyu had not spoken yet, but Qian Lei beside him had already said, "This doesn''t seem like something you should be asking. Isn''t it a military rule that you can''t inquire about other people''s tasks in the army without permission? This is military confidential information."
Qian Lei had also recognized Ye Lingtong by now, but he never had a good impression of this girl. Ye Lingtong was too self-centered and too strong-willed.
Lan Mengqin gently squeezed his hand, and Qian Lei looked at her with confusion, only to receive a look of admiration that instantly boosted his spirits.
Lan Xuanyu didn''t say anything, he just politely smiled and nodded at Ye Lingtong.
At this point, He Qingyi had already walked over and signaled to Lan Xuanyu''s group of seven to follow him. It was time for them to leave.
Ye Lingtong watched them leave, feeling a sense of loss for some reason.
Her former ssmates have already gone their separate ways. The other excellent students from Tianluo Academy have been left behind by her. She had reached a cultivation level close to six rings, which was a remarkable achievement at her age. The academy teachers said that she had the potential to enter the War God Temple in the future.
However, years of hard work and dedication had cost Ye Lingtong all her spare time. Suddenly seeing Lan Xuanyu, who still seemed so outstanding, touched her heart.
But for Lan Xuanyu, meeting Ye Lingtong was just a small episode.
After leaving the simtion cabin, the shuttle was already waiting outside. They were instructed to go back and pack their things before being taken to the living area of the Dragon 3 warship.
The living area of the Dragon King-ss escort ship, although notparable to that of the mothership, was still quite spacious and located in the middle of the warship. Lan Xuanyu and his team were assigned to the living quarters of senior officers, which consisted of a series of connected metal houses. The other rooms were around 100 square meters each and included a dedicated living room, bedroom, and bathroom. The military provided food uniformly, and if anyone wanted to improve the quality of their meals, they had to buy it themselves from the living area, so there was no kitchen in the amodations.
Lan Xuanyu''s room was asrge as 200 square meters and had moreplete facilities. This was the amodation corresponding to the rank of Major General. The others were actually benefiting from his status, otherwise,cColonel officers were not qualified to live in this type of amodation. A room of 100 square meters corresponded to the ranks of Colonel and Major General.
The room was simply decorated, but veryfortable. Especially in Lan Xuanyu''s room, there was some soft decoration. The walls were surprisingly soft to the touch, without the coldness of metal. The floor was covered with a carpet, not a luxurious brand, but it was neat and clean, andfortable to walk on with bare feet.
Moreover, there was a small conference room in Lan Xuanyu''s room that could amodate eight people.
Such sophisticated facilities could only be found insiderge warships like Dragon-ss escort ships. After Lan Xuanyu and his team settled in, someone led them on a tour of the living area.
The living area was not small and was open to everyone. Whether officers or soldiers, they coulde to the living area for leisure without being on duty. There were various facilities such as bars, cafes, game rooms, and restaurants. There was no school on the escort ship. If the soldiers here had children, they would be sent to the school on the mother ship to study. The mother ship was the safest and also had enough space.
The living area here was more for leisure and entertainment. Lan Xuanyu even saw hourly rooms for rent.
Ordinary soldiers lived in dormitories with multiple people, and in the space fleet, it was not forbidden for male and female soldiers to fall in love. After all, life in space as lonely, without some adjustment, would drive people crazy. Hourly rooms were naturally prepared for ordinary soldiers, with cheap prices and booming business, often requiring reservations.
At a certain level, officers in the military no longer had this issue, as they all had their own exclusive rooms. Therefore, it was much easier for officers to find a partner within the Space Fleet. Having their own independent room was also a goal that many soldiers worked hard towards.
There was no ss system within the Space Fleet, and graduating from a prestigious school did not necessarily guarantee bing a senior officer. Here, it was all about strength and military merit. Even an ordinary soldier could umte enough merit to be an officer if they performed well in battle.
The term of service for soldiers in the Space Fleet was ten years, while officers'' terms varied ording to their rank. Among all professions in the federation, soldiers in the Space Fleet had the highest ie. If an ordinary soldier served for ten years and returned to an administrative, their ie would be enough for them to live a wealthy life for the rest of their lives.
So, many retired soldiers from the space fleet were very popr among women. The federation regarded every retired soldier as a hero. Of course, they could be called up as reservists at any time before the age of 60.
The generous treatment also made more people hope to be space warriors.
Rtive to other positions in the space fleet, soldiers had a certain degree of risk, especially the mecha soldiers who participated innding operations. They often needed to fight on the front lines against the enemy. The safety of the shipmanders was much higher. After all, therger the warship, the higher its safety during fleetbat.
What surprised Lan Xuanyu and the others was that the living quarters did not have the cold and tough style of the military, but instead were very warm andfortable. From the colors to the music, the feeling of warmth was like being back in a big city. It wasfortable andzy.
The mostmon ce was the bar, but each bar had a warning sign at the entrance. It warned the soldiers that they could only drink during their leave, and if there was any trouble while drinking, they would be punished by militaryw.
Lan Xuanyu inquired and found out that drinking in bars was amon hobby among all the soldiers. However, the alcohol could only be consumed on the premises and could not be taken away.
The construction of living areas in the space fleet was highly emphasized, even for meteor-ss assault ships and meteor-ss reconnaissance ships without living quarters. After an extended period of being in the field, they could return to the mother ship or the affiliated escort or warship for rest. This bnce between tension and rxation allowed the fleet to maintain strongbat capability at all times.
Lan Xuanyu and his team didn''t have any mission at the moment, so they wandered around in the living area. The fleet''s living area had an interesting feature, which Lan Xuanyu discovered: no matter what level of military personnel, they would take off their rank before entering the living area.
Chapter 981: War Is Imminent
TL: GoldenLung
Within the army, the requirements for hierarchy were extremely strict. However, if this kind of hierarchy existed in the living area, it was not easy to rx. Taking off military ranks and entering the living area was not a mandatory requirement, but it was an unwritten rule here. Even the captain would oftene to the living area.
In the following days, aside from the necessary daily practice, Lan Xuanyu and his team wandered around in the living area. Surprisingly, the restaurant here served food that tasted quite good.
One should not think that the food in a space fleet was monotonous. In fact, there was even a specialized cultivation area on the mother ship where various vegetables and fruits are grown. As for meat, it was stored inrge quantities under refrigeration.
Of course, these foods were considered luxury items within the space fleet. Nutrient paste would get tiresome, and asionally new vours were wee for ones taste bud.
After a few days of getting familiar, Lan Xuanyu and his team started to have some understanding of life in the space fleet. They didn''t have any missions at the moment, and for ordinary officers and soldiers, they usually worked for a period of time and rested for a period of time. Each position was rotated between at least two or even three people taking turn to work.
This was a non-war period, but once they entered war period, it would be different. The whole army would be mobilized and engaged inbat.
However, such peaceful days did notst long. Lan Xuanyu received amunication and was summoned by the captain.
Dragon Three Warship Command Center.
As a Dragon King-ss escort ship, themand center was located at the highest point of the warship''s front end. There were spacious portholes here that could see the vast space at two hundred and seventy degrees.
When Lan Xuanyu arrived, there were already more than a dozen officers in themand center, looking at the electronic map in front of them and discussing something.
"Report!" Lan Xuanyu stood at the doorway, saluting.
The officers inside couldn''t help but look in his direction.
In the center, a middle-aged man with the rank of major general on his shoulder smiled and said, "Our youngest general has arrived. Xuanyu,e in."
Lan Xuanyu stepped forward, and he could feel the curious eyes of the senior officers of the Dragon Three warship on him. Yes! His young and handsome face, and the stars on his shoulders were somewhat ipatible. At least that''s how it looked in the eyes of these senior officers.
Although it was his first time meeting the major general sitting in the main seat, Lan Xuanyu knew that he should be the captain of the Dragon Three fleet, and one of the representatives of the young faction in the military, Major General Yan Xinghe. At only 47 years old, he was already a powerful figure in the military, and was hailed as the most likely sessor to General Bai Ling to be themander of the Seventh Fleet.
Apart from Yan Xinghe, Lan Xunyu also knew Major General Shen Junjie and Colonel He Qingyi. He had never met any of the other military officers before, including three other Major Generals and the rest being Colonels.
Yan Xinghe obviously did not mean to introduce everyone present to Lan Xunyu. At this moment, a three-dimensionalbat map was suspended on the table.
Yan Xinghe said in a deep voice, "War is imminent, and the mobilization order will be issued shortly. Our Seventh Fleet will be the main force in this operation. The Third and Fifth Fleets will attack the Dragon Horse gxy from the nks. We will coordinate our actions with them."
Upon hearing this, Lan Xunyu, who was standing at the end, couldn''t help but be shocked. Was the Federation going to take action against the Dragon Horse gxy?
Beforeing here, he had studied a lot of information about the Dragon Horse gxy. The information about the system was ssified, and the War God Temple had specially sent him the data to review.
The Dragon Horse gxy was extremely vast, evenrger than the entire region currently upied by the Douluo Federation. Within the Dragon Horse gxy, there were hundreds ofs. In the areas that the Douluo Federation had explored so far, they had discovered over five hundred resources that could be used as administratives to sustain human life, and there were dozens of them. And this was still without fully exploring the Dragon Horse gxy.
It should be noted that in the universe,s that humans could directly inhabit without modification were very rare. That was to say, if the Douluo Federation could conquer the Dragon Horse gxy, the entire Federation''s territory would expand by almost ten times, and the number of administratives would increase by at least five times.
The Dragon Horse gxy was in a semi-encircled shape with regards to the region controlled by the Douluo Federation. Therefore, it was also a necessary path for the Douluo Federation to continue interster colonization.
In the Dragon Horse gxy, there were many powerful races. Among them were two huge administratives, known as the Dragon Horse Twin Stars. The volume of boths was more than ten times that of the Douluo Star, and they had abundant resources and excellent environments. However, there were also two major races, the Celestial Dragon n and the Celestial Steed n, living there.
The Celestial Dragon Stars head that Lan Xuanyu had encountered was one of the strongest beings on the Celestial Dragon Star.
These two major races ruled over most of the other races in the Dragon Horse gxy. Within the Dragon Horse gxy, there were hundreds of known races. In rtive terms, the entire Dragon Horse gxy was a loose collection of independent entities that did not belong to each other. The Celestial Dragon Star and the Celestial Steed Star were nominal allies, and other races had to submit resources to avoid being attacked by the two major races.
Celestial Dragon and Celestial Steed were both staunch supporters of the bloodline theory. They firmly believed that, except for themselves, all other races were inferior, so they disdained to conquer the territories of those inferior races, but only required them to surrender resources.
Therefore, the Celestial Dragon n and the Celestial Steed n did not mine resources themselves, but only collected them.
The expansion of the Douluo Federation inevitably led to collisions with the Dragon Horse gxy. The two major races sent envoys to make the Douluo Federation submit.
As the Douluo Federation was unwilling to do so, a war ensued.
Both the Celestial Dragon n and the Celestial Steed n were extremely powerful races. Their adults could freely soar in space. However, they were technological dinosaurs. In that war, the Douluo Federation actually won. With the powerfulbat capability of their space fleet, they defeated the two major races.
However, the Douluo Federation suffered heavy losses in that battle, with three cosmic fleets almostpletely wiped out. If the battle had continued, the oue would have been difficult to predict, if it weren''t for the need to prevent the Mother Ship from directly attacking the Dragon Star and Celestial Steed Star.
It was precisely after that battle that both sides began to be cautious. The Dragon and Celestial Steed ns realized that there were enemies in the universe who could rival them, and began to pay attention to the Douluo Federation and gather various forces in the Dragon Horse gxy.
The Douluo Federation also elerated its development, adding two more cosmic fleets, increasing its original five to a fullplement of seven cosmic fleets.
In terms of technological development, the Celestial Dragon and Steed ns were unable to catch up with the Douluo Federation for a while, and the two sides were in a stalemate.
The Dragon Source Crystal conspiracy discovered by Lan Xuanyu was a major operation orchestrated by the Celestial Dragon n against the Douluo Federation. If it weren''t for Lan Xuanyu''s timely discovery, the Douluo Federation would have suffered heavy losses. The Celestial Dragon and Steed ns would definitely not have let such an opportunity slip by.
Why did the mother ship of the Space Fleet need four Dragon King-ss escort ships to guard it? In fact, it was because after a major war many years ago, such arrangements were made to guard against infiltration attacks by the top-level powerhouses of the Celestial Dragon and Steed ns.
With four Dragon King-ss escort ships guarding it and a powerful all-around radar detection system, even super-god-rank experts could not sneak into the mother ship without making a sound. Once detected, the mother ship would immediately activate its protective shield.
Lan Xuanyu didn''t expect that right after joining the Seventh Fleet, he would be involved in such arge-scale military operation. The Federation was about to go to war with the Dragon Horse gxy again.
The Dragon Source Crystal incident infuriated the high-level officials of the Douluo Federation, who were also shocked at the same time. The fact that the Celestial Dragon and the Steed ns came up with such a method to deal with the Federation was a surprise, while the Federation was unaware. They had understood how to manipte the Federation''s strong desire for resources.
Chapter 982: Reconnaissance Blockade Network
TL: GoldenLung
Although the Federation was continuously developing its resource extraction capabilities, the resources it controlled were still limited. In this regard, the Dragon Horse gxy had a huge advantage.
In recent years, the Celestial Dragon and Celestial Steed ns had also focused on researching warship technology and have already developed some of their own warships. Although they could ot yetpare with the warships of the Douluo Federation, they had already taken shape. Their biggest advantagey in the abundant resources of the Dragon Horse gxy. Once given enough time, the Dragon Horse gxy could develop energy cores such as the Dragon Source Crystal, and the innovation speed for warship development would surely elerate. With an overwhelming domination in resources, with a few hundred years at most, the Dragon Horse gxy would be able to catch up with human technology. At that time, it would ring the end for the Federation.
The Federation had always known about this oue, but the aftermath of a full-scale war was too great, and the parliament dared not make a hasty decision, so they could only focus on developing themselves, which caused dys.
However, the Dragon Source Crystal incident had a huge impact on the Federation. They had not yet taken action, but the Celestial Dragon n had already made a move against the Federation. If they continued to wait, the Federation would be increasingly passive. It was time to turn the tables and take the initiative.
They had to take action to suppress the development of the Dragon Horse gxy, otherwise, the development speed of the Douluo Federation would not keep up with theirs. Even though the warships developed by the Dragon Horse gxy were still rtively weak, with enough resources, they could manufacture a farrger number of space fleets than the Douluo Federation in a short period. By then, it would be toote to act, especially since the Dragon Horse gxy had many top-tier experts, including the Celestial Dragon n and the Celestial Steed n who both had super god-rank experts.
Therefore, after a series of secret meetings, the Federation finally passed the order tounch war against the Dragon Horse gxy. This was not going to be the decisive battle, but a war of attrition. The operational goal was to weaken the strength of the Celestial Dragon and Celestial Steeds, with a focus on targeting their achievements in warship manufacturing.
The Federation had also been conducting reconnaissance on the Dragon Horse gxy, and they were well aware of the locations of some important military bases. These ces were the targets of their attack this time.
"The First and Second Space Fleet are also approaching the Dragon Horse gxy as our support forces. The military''s order this time is one word: fast. We need tounch a lightning quick attack on the Dragon Horse gxy, destroying their military and research facilities as much as possible. If possible, we will also conduct some resource looting."
Shen Junjie furrowed his brows and said, "Captain, what about the reconnaissance blockadework when weunch this attack? Once we make a move, the reconnaissance blockadework will definitely not remain intact. If enemy powerhouses infiltrate the federal territory, it will be big trouble."
Yan Xinghe said in a deep voice, "We can''t worry about that now. Our attack will be sudden, and the enemy may not react in time. At the same time, the Federation has already notified the War God Temple, the Spirit Hall, Shrek Academy, the Tang Sect, and other forces. If any powerhouses from the Dragon Horse gxy infiltrate the Federation, they will unite to resist them."
Lan Xuanyu had been standing quietly at the end, and he had already understood somewhat.
The positions guarded by the Federal Fleet were all releasing reconnaissance blockades. This was a kind of super radar device that could cover vast star territories. Once an enemy entered this range, they would be discovered and even locked onto as soon as possible.
The Federation had been blockading the powerful members of the Dragon and Celestial Steed ns in this way to prevent possible attacks on the Federation from within. That was probably why the Head of the Dragon Star onlyunched a projection attack.
As for the Sin, it was probably not considered enough of a threat, so there was no such blockade. Otherwise, how could space pirates still be able to raid within the Federation? It was simply impossible.
If the Seventh Fleetunched an attack now, the reconnaissance blockadework would be iplete, and there would be a possibility of enemy powerhouses breaking into the Federation. But for the sake of this military operation, it was probably not a concern.
In this war, the core objective was destruction, to destroy as many military bases in the Dragon Horse gxy as possible. The current target was set at 10, with 38 of them beingrge targets. Resource acquisition was a secondary objective. Therefore, after the war started, whileunching frontal attacks, infiltration attacks would focus on these targets. Some ces requirednding operations. The firepower of the mothership would be used to suppress the Celestial Dragon and Celestial Steed. At the same time, special tactics would be employed to lure the enemy deep into our territory, thereby inflicting heavy damage on them and suppressing their strong forces. Regarding thending operations, speed was of the essence.
"General Shen," Yan Xinghe''s gaze turned towards Shen Junjie as he spoke.
"Here!" Shen Junjie immediately stood at attention.
"Our Dragon Three Operations Department will be under yourmand. Thisnding operation is the best opportunity to gain merit. Your orders will determine the sess of our brothers'' efforts. I believe this type of battle is also most suitable for you."
"Understood, I will ensure thepletion of the mission," Shen Junjie said in a deep voice.
Yan Xinghe said, "Our Seventh Fleet will lead the attack this time, lure the enemy deep, and annihte them. We will mainly rely on ourselves. The specific details of the operation are still ssified. Thending troops should be prepared to start thending operation immediately after achieving the established goals on the main battlefield."
"Yes!" Everyone stood at attention and saluted.
Lan Xuanyu quickly followed suit.
Although Admiral Yan Xinghe never explicitly stated what the mission was or how the fleet would attack, he could vaguely guess that it was probably rted to the Dragon Source Crystal.
When he discovered the situation with the Dragon Source Crystal, he was immediately attacked by the projection of the leader of Celestial Dragon, and the final blow threw them into a star. At least from the other party''s perspective, the possibility of his own destruction was very high.
After receiving the news, the Federation didn''t know how it was done, but they thought it wouldn''t rm the Dragon Horse gxy. And tounch a war so quickly, with such a short time for preparation, it was just the right time for themselves. He didn''t believe that it had nothing to do with the Dragon Source Crystal incident.
Thinking of this, Lan Xuanyu nodded secretly in his heart. The Federation''s decision making speed was still very quick. If they could use this opportunity to deal a heavy blow to the Dragon Horse gxy, it would also be helping him get revenge. The pain he had endured before would not be in vain.
"Lan Xuanyu, Major General." While Lan Xuanyu was thinking, Yan Xinghe''s voice suddenly came. At the same time, the gaze of all the officers present fell on Lan Xuanyu.
"Yes." Lan Xuanyu stood at attention.
Yan Xinghe said in a low voice, "Your team will also participate in thisnding operation, and important tasks will be assigned to you. Any questions?"
"No problem, we guarantee toplete the task," Lan Xuanyu immediately replied. When he thought about being able to participate in such arge-scale battle, he couldn''t help but feel a surge of excitement.
Yan Xinghe smiled slightly and said, "Okay. The meeting is adjourned. The specific actions will be sent to each department in a confidential manner. Everyone, be prepared. The mobilization order will be issuedter. You can all leave now, except for Major General Lan Xuanyu."
Everyone saluted again and the military meeting ended.
The other senior officers of Dragon Three went off to their respective duties, while Yan Xinghe waved to Lan Xuanyu, signaling him toe over.
Lan Xuanyu took a few steps forward and came to Yan Xinghe''s side. This was his first time meeting the captain, so he wasn''t familiar with him.
Yan Xinghe smiled and said, "General Yu Muchen introduced you to me personally. I rarely hear him praise someone so much. It''s clear that you''re different from others."
Lan Xuanyu immediately understood why he was assigned to Dragon Three. It seemed that Yan Xinghe and General Yu Muchen belonged to the same faction in the military. No wonder they assigned him here, was it to take special care of him?
Chapter 983: Preparations Before War
TL: GoldenLung
Yan Xinghe said, "This war is of great significance. If we can achieve victory, it will bring us greater opportunities. In recent years, the Federation has elerated its development of the space fleet and has made rapid progress in technology. However, our enemies have also developed rapidly and must be contained. During the uing war, you and your team wille to my headquarters to observe. Once the initial goals of the campaign are achieved, you can follow the operational department to carry out the tasks."
Lan Xuanyu''s eyes tightened, and he couldn''t help but feel moved. He saluted Yan Xinghe again and said, "Thank you, Captain, for your guidance."
As a senior officer of the Seventh Fleet, Yan Xinghe was among the most important figures in the fleet, second only to the gship were the four Dragon King-ss escort ships. The importance of the missions undertaken during the war could be imagined. Being able to witness Yan Xinghe''smand of Dragon Three was of immeasurable benefit to Lan Xuanyu''s growth in star warfare. Even as a new recruit, he had the opportunity that many seniormanders did not have!
Commanding arge warship required an overview of the entire situation, and everymand could be critical to sess or failure.
As soon as Yan Xinghe saw Lan Xuanyu''s expression, he knew he understood what he meant. It was easy to talk to smart people. He also had a good impression of Lan Xuanyu. This young man was very spirited, with a handsome appearance and a tall, military bearing that was enough to impress anyone.
If there was a charm attribute, Lan Xuanyu would definitely have scored full marks in this area. Coupled with General Yu Muchen''s extra admiration for Lan Xuanyu, as well as his significance in other aspects, Yan Xinghe naturally had to promote him. Of course, it also depended on Lan Xuanyu''s own performance. After all, as a junior general, his value was rtively low. If he wanted to be a general who truly lived up to his name, there were still many things he needed to do. In the army, achievements still mattered.
Having just joined the army, he was fortunate to have the opportunity to participate in such arge-scale battle, and the chances of gaining military merit were much greater. This was an opportunity for Lan Xuanyu. This was also why Yu Muchen hoped he would arrive at the Seventh Fleet at this time. As the main assault fleet, the chances of gaining military merit would naturally be greater.
"Okay, then you can rest first. Before the war begins, I will have someone notify you toe over," Yan Xinghe said with a smile.
Lan Xuanyu said, "Captain, I have a small request."
"Oh? Please go ahead," Yan Xinghe looked at Lan Xuanyu curiously.
"We brought our own Meteor-ss assault ship with us this time. It mighte in handy in the warter on. Can we register it on our side and confirm that it belongs to our fleet?" Lan Xuanyu exined.
"That''s easy. I''ll have someone take you to register it and confirm themunication connection. No problem," Yan Xinghe said.
"Thank you, Captain," Lan Xuanyu thanked him again and bowed.
Yan Xinghe waved his hand and said, "We don''t need to be so polite when we''re alone. You''re young and can be considered my junior. I''ll just call you by your name, Xuan Yu. This war is extremely important for the Federation, and for us soldiers, it''s equally important. Where do soldiers'' meritse from? Theye from the battlefield. War is the opportunity for us soldiers to demonstrate our abilities. Soldiers in peacetime are never as important. Since you''ve joined the military as a real man, you must make achievements. I will choose an appropriate time to let you participate in this war, but all I can do is give you the opportunity. What you can achieve depends on yourself."
"I understand, thank you." This time, Lan Xuanyu didn''t salute again, but bowed to Yan Xinghe as a junior.
Yan Xinghe patted his shoulder and said, "Go."
Leaving the Dragon Three Headquarters, Lan Xuanyu instinctively clenched his fists. It seemed that his one-year military career was going to be extremely exciting. First, he went to register the Thirty-Three Sky Wing Warship, and then he told hisrades about this news to prepare everyone.
Unfortunately, their Thirty-Three Sky Wings team had already been disbanded, and they couldn''t act together. Otherwise, if everyone gathered together, the effect would be better. But there were also advantages to being spread out. By being in various ces, as long as everyone could exert enough ability in the war, it would be easier to obtain the total amount of achievements.
However, he was not without worry in his heart. In such arge-scale battlefield, individualbat power would be greatly weakened. Even if one''s personal strength was strong, facing the attack power of warship main guns, they were as weak as ants. Although they were all two-word battle armor masters and had excellent personal strength, they could still easily be killed in such a battle. Therefore, safety was the most important thing.
After registering and docking the Thirty-Three Sky Wings warship directly inside Dragon Three for maintenance, Lan Xuanyu returned to his residence and told hispanions about the impending war.
It was at this time that the war mobilization order was issued. They found that the light colors in all the rooms had changed from the original warm tones to cool tones. Although the war had not yet begun, a sense of killing had already permeated the air, making everyone feel a sense of urgency.
Throughmunication, Lan Xuanyu reminded the other groups of the Thirty-Three Sky Wings that once they were engaged in the war, safety was the top priority, and they should not engage in frontalbat upon entering the main battlefield. The main guns of any warship could be catastrophic for them. If there was any danger, they should immediately seek assistance.
At first nce, the Seventh Fleet did not appear to be any different from before, still neatly arranged in space. However, upon closer inspection, it could be seen that the frequency of transport ships running between fleets had increased, indicating resource allocation.
"Knock, knock, knock" C the sound of knocking on the door interrupted Lan Xuanyu as he was checking the star map in his room. He stood up and walked over to open the door.
Outside was Bai Xiuxiu. Lan Xuanyu let her into the room, and as soon as she entered, she saw a three-dimensional star map floating on the table. "Commander, are you studying tactics?" Bai Xiuxiu smiled.
Lan Xuanyu said, "I am taking a look at the star map of the Dragon Horse gxy. We are currently approximately at this position. If we were tounch an attack, the first target should be the Celestial Steed," he said, pointing to arge star on the star map.
"As soon as we make a move, the military of the Dragon Horse gxy will definitely detect us and try to intercept us as soon as possible. The first battle on the main battlefield is the most important collision. If we lose, it may be aplete defeat. If we win, we will have the opportunity to prate the Dragon Horse gxy, carry outnding operations, and destroy or obtain resources."
Bai Xiuxiu looked at the star map and said, "Based on what you told us before, it seems that the Federation is very confident in winning on the main battlefield!"
Lan Xuanyu said, "I also think so, although I don''t know what the Federation is going to do. But I always feel that it has something to do with the secret of the Dragon Source Crystal that we discoveredst time."
Bai Xiuxiu asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Lan Xuanyu replied, "I''m considering how to use the dragon source crystal to tilt the war in our favor as themander. By exploiting the information asymmetry between the two sides."
Bai Xiuxiu appeared thoughtful and said, "This is not something that can be aplished simply through tactics. It''s probably going to be veryplicated. Don''t think too much for now. Rest well. After all, once the war starts, we may not have any time to rest. Xuanyu, do you know why I came to find you?"
Lan Xuanyu smiled and said, "Because you like me, right? Come on, let me give you a kiss. It''ll give me more inspiration."

Chapter 984: Grand Battlefield
TL: GoldenLung
As he was speaking, he approached Bai Xiuxiu, but she pushed him away by the face.
"You''re dreaming. Don''t be silly, listen to me." Bai Xiuxiu grabbed Lan Xuanyu''s hands.
She lifted her head and stared intensely at Lan Xuanyu''s eyes. "War is about to begin, and we are just a small, insignificant part of the army. I know your personality, and in battle, you always prefer to use unconventional tactics to achieve maximum gains. That''s your way of fighting, and I support you. However, when making any decisions, you must always be mindful of safety, just like when you reminded everyone. I want to tell you that wherever you go on future missions, I''ll be there with you. If you encounter danger, it means I''m in danger too. Therefore, you must protect me and, more importantly, protect yourself. I don''t care about military merits; I only want you to be safe and sound. War is an opportunity for soldiers, but it''s also the most brutal."
Watching as Bai Xiuxiu''s eyes gradually turned slightly red, Lan Xuanyu nodded seriously and said, "I understand. Xiuxiu, don''t worry, I will never take risks lightly. Teacher Nana''s incident has taught me a valuable lesson."
As he spoke, he pulled Bai Xiuxiu into his arms, tightly embracing her delicate body.
Bai Xiuxiu pressed her cheek against his shoulder and said, "I don''t care about the oue of the war, I only care that after the war, everyone is still here. To be honest, if there was a choice, I really wouldn''t want there to be a war."
The two of them embraced each other, silently feeling each other''s heartbeat and warmth.
No matter how many people do not want war to happen, and how many people yearn to make a name for themselves in the war, war would stille!
The Seventh Fleet, like an awakened dragon, lit up the main thrusters of all the warships and began tounch.
Just as expected by Lan Xuanyu, the direction of the Seventh Fleet''s advance was towards one of the two main stars of the Dragon Horse Gxy, the Celestial Steed Star. It would take only five days to reach Celestial Steed Star from their current position, with full-speed flight and wormhole jumps.
At this point, Lan Xuanyu and his seven teammates were already in themand center. Of course, they only had the right to observe. At the same time, they could not leave themand center unless ordered by Yan Xinghe, in order to protect military secrets.
Through the huge 270-degree porthole, they could clearly see the fleet flying in space. Four Dragon King-ss escort ships surrounded the mothership, with arge number of other warships surrounding them.
"We are about to make the first jump. Everyone, take your positions and prepare for the jump. Activate the shields at 45%." Yan Xinghe sat in the main seat, constantly giving out orders.
By observing, Lan Xuanyu understood that the mission of a Dragon King-ss escort was much more than he had imagined. A space fleet was arranged in this way. The highest level was the gship, but in reality, the gship only oversaw the deployment of four Dragon King-ss escorts and issued missions specifically for the four escorts. Each Dragon King-ss escort was in charge of three subordinated War God-ss warships.
Each warship also oversaw its own Meteor-ss assault ships and Comet-ss reconnaissance ships, forming a pyramid-like system. Therefore, Dragon Three not only had to manage itself but also had to oversee the three warships below it. These three warships were on the periphery of Dragon Three, forming a semi-circr encirclement with lower-level warships guarding the outside. In the entire fleet of warships, the closer a warship was to the core, the more powerful it was.
When the first time the wormhole jump was initiated, Lan Xuanyu deeply felt the power of thisrge warship.
The protective shield was activated, and the entire process of the wormhole jump was surprisingly smooth, without even a slight vibration. It was no different from normal flight.
Although the protective shield of the Dragon King-ss escort was only activated to forty-five percent, it not only protected itself but also included arge number of small-scale warships and even warships around it, all jumping together through the wormhole.
As for the mothership, it released an evenrger protective shield, almost protecting the entire fleet within it. The Seventh Fleet was truly a unified whole.
Looking at everything outside the porthole, Lan Xuanyu and the other six people all felt the same feeling in their hearts, magnificent!
Indeed, it was the strongestbat power of the Douluo Federation!
Lan Xuanyu and his team could only rest within themand center, meditating and recuperating in their seats. During the war, there was no real food to eat, and everyone had to consume high-energy nutrient paste, including Yan Xinghe, who was the captain. This was the rule of the Space Fleet, even the fleetmander could only eat nutrient paste during the war. This was because nutrient paste could replenish the body''s nutrients in the shortest amount of time without wasting time.
Three dayster, after the fourth wormhole jump, the speed of the Seventh Fleet suddenly began to slow down.
Through Yan Xinghe''s orders and observation, Lan Xuanyu discovered that all the warships below Meteor ss, including transport ships, in the Seventh Fleet had all moved to the rear of the fleet. The entire fleet began to change formation.
Four Dragon King-ss escort ships lined up in a row, with the mother ship flying out from the center at the forefront. Twelve warships followed behind the Dragon King-ss escorts. The three most powerful warships formed a triangr formation and flew forward, while all the small warships and transport ships flew behind.
"Beep beep beep", the harsh rm sounded, and the lights in themand center became brighter. On one side of therge screen, the radar continued to zoom in and explore.
Yan Xinghe stood up and said in a deep voice, "We are about to enterbat zone. All units, prepare for battle."
Lan Xuanyu also saw the enemy through therge screen. They were bright dots, particrly clear in space.
The Dragon Horse Gxy had obviously already detected the Seventh Fleet''s advance and, of course, they could not let the battlefield be near the Celestial Steed. Therefore, they had deployed their formation here, two days'' journey away from the Celestial Steed, and were ready to meet the enemy.
The distance between the two sides gradually closed, and Yan Xinghe, themander of the Dragon Three, looked calm and not nervous at all. He turned around and waved to Lan Xuanyu, saying, "Xuanyu,e here."
Lan Xuanyu quickly stood up and came to Yan Xinghe''s side. In themand center, the senior officers were all staff officers, and other senior officers were at their own posts and not on this side of themand center.
Yan Xinghe said in a deep voice, "Zoom in on the screen."
On therge screen, the image was erged, presenting the shape of warships from the Dragon Horse Gxy.
Yan Xinghe said to Lan Xuanyu, "Although the Dragon Horse gxy is working hard to catch up in terms of warship technology, there is still a big gap between them and us. This is why we have absolute confidence in being able to crush them on the front battlefield. Even if there is a 30% chance of them winning on the front battlefield, they will not let us blockade the airspace of the Federation, because they certainly have much more resources. If they can hold us off on the front battlefield for a period of time, they may be able to produce more warships. In fact, we have been conducting some attrition warfare over the years to ensure that the number and power of warships in the Dragon Horse gxy are not enough to pose a threat to us. You see, the warships of the Dragon Horse gxy are like a ragtag army."
At this moment, Lan Xuanyu was watching the screen for the first time, which showed warships of alien technology.
Indeed, as Yan Xinghe had said, the warships of the Dragon Horse gxy were really like a motley crew. This was mainly due to the significant variation in the individual ships.
Firstly, Lan Xuanyu saw a warship that looked a bit like a fish. From the disy of the radar data, the length of this warship was approximately three hundred meters, and its surface was covered with brown scales that emitted a halo of protective energy. There were three pairs of wings open on the top, and behind the wings, there was a jet of light.

Chapter 985: Enemy Fleet
Chapter 985: Enemy Fleet
TL: GoldenLung
Beside it, there were about a dozen warships of different sizes, with the smallest being the size of a meteor-ss reconnaissance vessel, and thergest being three hundred meters in length.
These dozen warships formed a unit and flew together. Beside them were another type of warship, which were roughly the same size, around 150 meters in length, with a wide, t front end like a hammerhead and honeb-shaped exhaust ports on top. The rear was narrow, with engines arranged on both sides of the waist.
In the center of the enemy fleet, there were two types of warships that were the most numerous, with both exceeding two hundred vessels. One type was silver-white throughout, shaped like a shuttle, and rtively closer in appearance to a human warship, resembling a War God-ss warship, but smaller in size by a third. They were also of varying sizes, but overall their shapes were simr.
Another type of warship was presented in a fan shape, with the curved side facing forward and all propulsion systems on the back t surface. What could be seen was the curved side, which surprisingly had a sharp feeling and emitted a light simr to a de.
Simrly, there were ships of varying sizes, with thergest one being over two hundred meters wide and exuding a somewhat fierce feeling.
Opposite them were fleets of various sizes, totaling over a thousand ships. In terms of quantity, they far surpassed the Seventh Fleet. However, as Yan Xinghe had said, this was a ragtag army. There were more than ten types of warships, clearly not under the same direction, each with their own area.
Despite this, the fleet, with such a massive number of ships, still looked like it covered the sky and the earth from afar, in a semi-encirclement towards the direction of the Seventh Fleet.
Yan Xinghe''s expression was not the least bit serious. He said to Lan Xuanyu, "Did you see that? They are fighting with quantity rather than quality. In terms ofbat power, their warships are far inferior, but the Dragon Horse Gxy is rich in resources and they can build warships quickly. However, theirbat power has never been able to reach the same level as us. Butpared to thest time we confronted them, their numbers have increased. The longer the warsts, the more it bes a battle of attrition. That''s why I have always believed that the earlier the war against the Dragon Horse Gxy starts, the better."
The fleets of both sides came to a standstill in the sky, facing each other, withoutunching an assault at the first moment. The huge gship of the Seventh Fleet emitted a faint halo, and a faint blue light condensed on its surface. It was clear to see that countless huge gun barrels opened up, and for a moment, it was even impossible to count how many gun barrels were on the gship.
All federal warships had their weapon systems and protective shields fully activated. The leading mothership and four Dragon King-ss escort ships were arranged horizontally, followed by the warships.
As Lan Xuanyu watched the densely packed enemy ships ahead, his heart couldn''t help but skip a beat. It was his first time facing such arge-scale interster war! In the face of such a massive space battle, individual strength seemed so insignificant.
He was now like a staff officer, following closely beside Yan Xinghe and listening to his analysis and exnation of the battlefield.
In this scale of space warfare, the most important thing was firepower. Large-scale space battles usually took ce in open terrain, especially for the stronger side, which would choose this way. If it wereplex terrain such as an asteroid belt, the opponent might have a chance, but in open terrain, the two sides were almostpeting in firepower. At least that was the case at the beginning of the collision. In the face of powerful firepower, all techniques were in vain. It was all about whose energy intensity was stronger and whose weapons were more advanced.
"Ifplex terrain appeared, the first thing to do would be to clear the terrain, even if a small asteroid blocked the way, it must be destroyed first."
Yan Xinghe spoke calmly, but from his words, one could hear how confident he was in the strength of the space fleet.
Currently, based on theparison of the fleets, the total strength of the Dragon Horse Gxy''s space fleet was roughly equal to thebined strength of three Federation fleets. They also had to divide their defenses. The reason why the Federation had notunched a full-scale attack was because they were afraid of a sneak attack by the top-level experts from the Dragon Horse Gxy, whose destructive power was too strong. If they prated an administrative, even a single person had the potential to destroy it single handedly. Even if our warships could kill them, it would almoste at the cost of the. This is something we cannot afford. Therefore, up to now, we have never reallyunched a full-scale attack on the Dragon Horse Gxy. The Dragon Horse Gxy also knows this. If their top experts attacked our, our mother ships'' firepower would definitely rain down on their main. It was equivalent to both sides having their own ace in the hole, and neither dared to overturn the other easily.
Within the Federation, including your Shrek Academy and Tang Sect, as well as the War God Temple and Spirit Pagoda, all concentrated various resources hoping to cultivate Super God-level experts. However, reaching that level was too difficult. Even our mother seemed tock the energy level required, and thus no Super God-level experts have been born. If we could have a few Super God-level experts to suppress the top experts of the Dragon Horse Gxy, we would haveunched a full-scale attack on them long ago."
As he listened to the captain''s words, Lan Xuanyu sensed that he was hinting at something. He understood that the captain probably already knew about Uncle Lei''s breakthrough to the Super God-level. After all, it happened right under the Seventh Fleet''s nose.
"It''s about to begin. Believe it or not, the other side won''t confront us head-on. They''ll just make some gestures and retreat, harassing us and dragging out our attack time," Yan Xinghe said with a smile.
Lan Xuanyu nodded slightly, "Is it because they can''t withstand our firepower head-on?"
"That''s right, they cannot. Even if we only had one fleet, we can''t win against so many warships in a head-on fight. But they can''t break through our defense, and we can hold on until reinforcements arrive. And our firepower can shred their defenses and constantly whittle down their numbers."
"All fleets, prepare." The red lights turned on, and the entiremand module turned red.
Yan Xinghe didn''t give any orders, but instead turned to Lan Xuanyu and said, "All fleets operate together, and allmands are unified by themand center. Until we give the order for free operation, all warships above the level of warships act together. The red light indicates that the gship has taken control of our warships."
Lan Xuanyu suddenly realized that it was no wonder he had seen it in a video before: when the massive fleetunched a full-scale attack in Star Wars, the firepower was so unified, it turned out to be the result of the mother ship''s simultaneous control.
"Captain, is this kind of control easy to be stolen by the enemy?" Lan Xuanyu asked.
Yan Xinghe smiled and said, "No, at least not with the current known technology in the universe. Because remote control of other warships requires not only electronic waves but also memory through biological waves. The two arebined. Simply put, it is thebination of divine consciousness and electronic waves to control. On the mother ship''s side, if they want to control us on this side, first they need our electronic password, which is constantly changing. Secondly, they need a god-rank powerhouse as a bridge using divine consciousness,bining electronic waves and divine consciousness through special conductive devices for uniquemunication. Moreover, when conducting internalmunication and control, our protective shield is fully activated, shielding all external electronic waves. Therefore, it ispletely impossible to steal our control."
Lan Xuanyu nodded slightly.
Just then, Yan Xinghe''s gaze turned towards therge screen, and he said in a deep voice, "It''s starting."
As expected, aDragon-ss escort suddenly shook, and then Lan Xuanyu saw that the porthole became covered by a burst of light. For a moment, the space outside the porthole waspletely obscured by the light, leaving only a radiance flooding in.

Chapter 986: War Begins
TL: GoldenLung
He quickly turned his head to look at therge screen beside him. The panoramic projection of the battlefield showed that, with the mothership at the center, four Dragon King-ss escort ships and twelve War God-ss warships had opened fire, with the beams of the huge soul cannons sweeping across the enemy in an instant, like ploughing and sweeping the ground.
At the same time, the opposing side also lit up, with thousands of warships bursting out various colors of light, shooting towards the Federation''s side.
As Yan Xinghe had predicted before, the enemy warships were unable to stop the firepower of the Seventh Fleet. One by one, the enemy warships kept exploding, while on the Seventh Fleet''s side, a series of brilliant halos erupted from the protective shield system powered by the mothership, but no enemy rays could prate into the protection range.
Amidst the violent roar, no sound could prate the interior of the warship, but the vibration could, and even with protective shields, Dragon Three still trembled constantly.
Lan Xuanyu instinctively clenched his fist. This pure head-on confrontation was undoubtedly magnificent and powerful. But in his heart, he actually disliked this kind of battle. This kind of battle had no tactics at all, it was just a brute force sh, with each side bombarding each other, fighting to win with firepower.
"Captain, is there really no tactics involved in open spacebat?" Lan Xuanyu asked in confusion.
Yan Xinghe said, "There is a tactic. It''s just that when our protective shield is strong enough and the opponent can''t break through our defense, what''s the use of tactics? Even if they go around to our back, they still can''t break through our defense. The importance of a mother ship in a space fleet is not about its attack power, but its defense power. You may have noticed that the mother ship doesn''t have a particrly powerful main cannon. It''s not that it''s not equipped, it''s just that it''s not easily used because it consumes too much energy. All the energy is focused on defense, and the overall protective shield formed by the mother ship and the four Dragon King-ss escort ships at its core is imprable even to Super God-level experts. This is our strongest point. So, those strong individuals in the Dragon Horse gxy came up with a n to undermine us from the inside."
Lan Xuanyu knew that when he talked about undermining from the inside, he was referring to the Proto Dragon Crystal.
At this moment, the fleet of the Dragon Horse Gxy on the opposite side changed formation. Thousands of warships quickly dispersed like arge pocket, surrounding the Seventh Fleet.
In the previous round of exchange, the opposite side lost at least over thirtyrger warships. This was still due to the fact that the distance between the two sides was far, and the firepower couldn''t fully exert its power.
The Seventh Fleet slowly moved forward, maintaining its firepower, constantlyunching attacks towards the front and sides.
As Yan Xinghe said, the attack of the Dragon Horse Gxy fleet was unable to break through the defense of the Seventh Fleet, which made this war seem somewhat boring, as if it was just a continuous consumption of resources.
Yan Xinghe smiled and said, "Now let''s see if they can hold back."
Lan Xuanyu curiously asked, "Hold back on what?"
Yan Xinghe said, "Hold back on using what gave you so much military merits." As he spoke, he pointed to the constetion on Lan Xuanyu''s shoulder.
Upon hearing this, Lan Xuanyu immediately understood. Obviously, the Federation had a n against Proto Dragon Crystal, specifically targeted at them. If they were to use tactics corresponding to Proto Dragon Crystal at this time, it would mean the tactics would be exposed.
An interster fleet may not satisfy their appetite.
"What if they hold back?" Lan Xuanyu asked.
Yan Xinghe said, "ording to the information we have gathered from our current investigation, the Dragon Horse Gxy has approximately 3,000 warships. There are over 1,000 here, and arge portion of them are scattered around the gxy. If one fleet is not enough, don''t we still have two wings and two other fleets behind us? The attraction of three space fleets should be enough. Actually, they don''t want to fight us so soon. They were probably hoping we will develop Dragon Source Star for a longer period of time and rely more on Proto Dragon Crystal as a power source. Only then will there be more warships equipped with Proto Dragon Crystal. Their leader is really daring and almost seeded." ?
The gunfire on the battlefield began to thin out, for a simple reason: the warships from the Dragon Horse Gxy had expanded the scope of their encirclement, moving out of range of the Seventh Fleet''s artillery fire. However, the Seventh Fleet paid them no attention and continued to fly forward, still aiming for the direction of the Celestial Steed Gxy.
Lan Xuanyu was after all the most outstanding student in the Star Wars Command Department of Shrek Academy. Under the guidance of Yan Xinghe, he had basically understood the operational n of the Seventh Fleet. No wonder Yan Xinghe appeared so rxed. This tactic was carried out on the premise that our side knew the opponent''s biggest conspiracy, while the opponent still thought that their conspiracy had seeded.
Yan Xinghe looked at his soulmunicator and said, "The Third and Fifth Fleets should have already taken action. For the opponent, the opportunity wille soon."
"Dragon Three, Dragon Three." A low call came from themunicator.
"Dragon Three in position." Yan Xinghe took a few steps forward and came to hismand position.
The big screen shed, and the face of General Bai Ling, themander of the Seventh Fleet, appeared on the screen. "The Third and Fifth Fleets have already made contact with the enemy. Prepare to implement the Crystal Source n."
"Yes!" Yan Xinghe stood at attention and saluted. He did not exin any further to Lan Xuanyu, but instead gave a series of orders.
"All space mechas and space fighters are ready to engage in battle. The crystal source n has been initiated, reporting the induced area reaction at any time."
Lan Xuanyu''s gaze was firmly fixed on the holographic image.
At this point, the local warships had basically surrounded the Seventh Fleet in an encirclement, but kept a considerable distance away from the firing range of the Seventh Fleet. As the Seventh Fleet advanced, they also advanced.
In fact, such a surrounding tactic had no tactical significance, as it was more like an escort. As long as the Seventh Fleet entered into space jump, the encirclement would naturally be lifted.
At that time, each warship in the Seventh Fleet had a separate metal room. Inside the room, there were small machines with various shapes and sizes of Proto Dragon Crystals inside each machine. Some of therger Proto Dragon Crystals were so rare that not even Lan Xuanyu had seen them before.
On the surface, the Proto Dragon Crystals shimmered with a dazzling light, emitting a captivating glow. The internal energy of the Proto Dragon Crystals continued to output outward, as if providing a constant source of energy.
These separated energies were then converged through a special channel and transmitted to an unknown location.
The system was called the Energy Filtering Conduction System by the scientists of the Douluo Federation. Its existence was previously used to test the energy intensity of individual Positive Cirction Source Soul Circuits.
After the outbreak of the Proto Dragon Crystal problem, the scientists within the Federation urgently consulted with each other and then sent this device to various fleets.
Their function was simple, which was to keep the Proto Dragon Crystals in a state of continuous energy release. And such a state was like being always in use
Although the spiritual consciousness of the Head Dragon of the Celestial Dragon was powerful and was seeded among so many Proto Dragon Crystals, he only sensed the state of these crystals from a distance and could manipte them in the simplest way. Like when Lan Xuanyu and the others discovered itst time, it was because the exposure was too obvious, and there happened to be a fragment of Celestial Dragon''s divine consciousness guarding the base where the Proto Dragon Crystals were produced, which led to them taking action against him.
After researching within the Federation and with many powerful individuals, even if the Celestial Dragon was strong, it was impossible for him to sense the true situation around each Proto Dragon Crystal across interster space. Lan Xuanyu and the others must have encountered one of his fragments of divine consciousness at that time.

Chapter 987: The Dragon Crystal Plan Unveils
TL: GoldenLung
So, as long as all the Proto Dragon Crystals were running normally and releasing energy, it wouldn''t arouse suspicion from the Celestial Dragons. That was why this method was chosen. At the same time, by using the energy filtering conduction system, the energy inside the dragon crystals could be separated and used without waste. The energy that was separated was pure energy, and the Celestial Dragons'' spiritual power depended on the existence of the dragon crystals.
Therefore, during this period of time, the Federation had been doing this all along. The energy of the dragon crystals was still being used, and even the mining of the Dragon Source Star had not stopped. Instead, it had increased. However, after the mining, the dragon crystals were transported to a resource star for energy separation and filtering, forming a pure energy storage.
Therefore, although it had been more than two months since the war was first discovered, the Douluo Federation had been preparing intensively during these past two months.
But they couldn''t wait too long, for fear of being discovered by the Celestial Dragons, so they chose tounch the attack at this time.
The third, fifth, and seventh cosmic fleets simultaneouslyunched, and the Source Crystal n was officiallyunched.
At this time, not only was the seventh fleet in a state of remote siege, but the situations of the third and fifth fleets were also the same.
Everyone was waiting, and the Dragon Horse gxy was also waiting for an opportunity to enact their n.
What Lan Xuanyu didn''t know was that for this war, the War God Temple spared no effort, and Shrek Academy, the Spirit Pagoda, and the Tang Sect also mobilized arge number of powerful people to secretly infiltrate the three major fleets and guard every metal room storing Dragon Source Crystals.
The determination of the Douluo Federation tounch this war far exceeded the expectations of the Dragon Horse gxy.
Yan Xinghe''s smile had disappeared from his face at this moment, bing very serious. He held amunicator in his hand and put it to his ear, waiting quietly.
As time passed, half an hour had already gone by. The artillery fire from both sides was only asional, and the war had not yet fully unfolded.
Just then, Yan Xinghe''s face changed, and he suddenly shouted loudly, "Turn off the thrusters, turn off the predetermined energy release. Close the protective shield by 70 percent. Turn off the predetermined lighting system and only maintain the holographic projection."
Suddenly, the entiremand center dimmed, and the Dragon Three warship shook slightly and began to slow down. From the holographic image, one could see that the propulsion thrusters behind the warship suddenly dimmed, and only some parts of the warship''s surface still had energy release, with flickering lights.
Moreover, through the holographic projection, it could be seen that the entire Seventh Fleet suddenly became chaotic. Many of the main thrusters on the warships were shut down, but some were still functioning. For a moment, the ships could no longer form a neat formation, and some even collided with each other.
The overall protective shield''s glow diminished. For a moment, everything fell into chaos.
Inside the crystal storage rooms of each warship, almost all of the dragon crystals lost their light and stopped emitting energy at the same time. The guardians who were protecting the crystal storage rooms all stared firmly at the dragon crystals in front of them, sensing their changes.
As the fleet fell into disarray, the nearby fleet from the Dragon Horse Gxy rushed over from all directions.
The Crystal n was officially enacted.
This was the crystal n belonging to the Dragon Horse Gxy, and it was also the crystal n belonging to the Douluo Federation.
As the enemy warships approached closer and closer, on those warships belonging to the Dragon Horse gxy, the light around the main gun barrels grew increasingly intense, clearly charging up. Lan Xuanyu couldn''t help but say to Captain Yan Xinghe, "Captain, isn''t this kind of baiting too risky? Our defense may not have enough time to activate! Even if we canunch soul cannons, if our protection isn''t raised in time, we may both suffer heavy losses." Charging the shield required time, and only with enough time could it be activated to its maximum capacity and produce the strongest protective effect.
Yan Xinghe nced at him and a strange smile appeared on his face. "You underestimate our conspiracy too much."
They drew closer and closer, and it was clear that the warships from the Dragon Horse gxy were about to enter attack range.
At that moment, a burst of fire suddenly lit up on the holographic projection, yes, a burst of fire. An enemy warship that was charging towards them and was rtively close suddenly exploded without any reason. The explosion of fire was like a fuse, and in the next instant, a brilliant fireworks disy, like a space halo, suddenly burst open. R
The terrifying explosion almost instantaneously enveloped arge number of the Dragon Horse Gxy''s warships. From the holographic projection, it could be seen that, with the Seventh Fleet''s warship group at the center, a brilliant halo exploded around the Seventh Fleet, just within the range of the maximum firepower attack.
The terrifying explosion instantly engulfed arge number of the Dragon Horse Gxy''s warships. The explosion was too violent, and for a while, it was impossible to see how much damage the Dragon Horse Gxy''s warships had suffered.
"Destroy the Dragon Source Crystal. Open all protective shields and full thrust." Yan Xinghe immediately ordered.
n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Meanwhile, General Bai Ling''s face appeared again on themunication screen. "All troops, engage in freebat."
"Dragon Three, roger. Dragon Three, move out." From the holographic screen, it could be seen that four Dragon King-ss escort ships were the first to take action. The previously extinguished tail mes were all activated, and the protective shields were re-ignited. The Dragon King-ss escort ships were apanied by their three War God-ss warships, as well as arge number of Meteor-ss assault ships and Meteor-ss reconnaissance ships, flying in one direction. The four escort ships flew towards four different directions, while the gship remained motionless, sitting in the center.
Lan Xuanyu finally saw the main cannon of the gship. At the front end of the gship, a huge gap slowly opened up. It was a t-shaped cannon with a width of over three hundred meters. The giant sphere on the gship lit up. Countless light converged at the main cannon, disying white, then yellow, gradually turning into orange.
A deep sense of fear arose from the bottom of their hearts. And at the defensive line where the main cannon was aimed, there were no warships from the Seventh Fleet flying.
"Take a look at the strongest weapon in our federation, capable of destroying a. With the current situation, it only needs to exert 30% of its power at most. There''s no need to charge it for too long."
Just as Yan Xinghe was exining to Lan Xuanyu, a bright orange light burst out, and the t light instantly covered the area, then the gship slowly swept across. One third of the range within the encirclement was swept away by it. Within that range, whether it was the previously exploding artillery or the warships of the Dragon Horse gxy, after being swept by the orange light, they seemed to have never appeared before, and their aura was extinguished in an instant by one third.
Lan Xuanyu suddenly felt suffocated, and he understood why Yan Xinghe had said that 30% power was enough, because 30% power was enough to annihte all enemy warships in this direction. At this time, the four fleets led by escort ships had already rushed towards the other four directions.
Countless shells began to pour out.
From the previous big explosion,bined with the firing of the main guns, in this short period of time, nearly half of the thousands of warships in the Dragon Horse Gxy were destroyed.
There was no doubt that the odds of the battle had already tilted in their favour.
Lan Xuanyu was so shocked that he couldn''t speak. Yan Xinghe''s eyes became even brighter, "This is a great gift we are giving to the Dragon Horse Gxy. Not only on our side, but also on the third and fifth fleets. They gave us Dragon Source Crystal, and we will give them a Source Crystal n. Xuanyu, do you want to know what happened earlier?"
Yan Xinghe was visibly excited at this moment, even for him, it was an unprecedented victory. Lan Xuanyu quickly nodded in agreement.
Chapter 988: Tian Long, Tian Ma
TL: GoldenLung
Yan Xinghe said, "Do you remember the order I gave earlier? All space mechs and fighters were prepared. In fact, that was already an order for them tounch an attack. They were all equipped with invisibility coatings and concealed themselves as best they could while sacrificing speed as much as possible. Thistest coating is difficult to detect even by our own main radar as long as it is not deployed inbat. Although this consumes a lot of energy and cannot be sustained for long, it is already sufficient. They carry anti-matter missiles, each of which is also equipped with an invisibility coating. Or you could call it an anti-matter space mine. They always carry these things with them and follow us as we fly. When the fleetes to a halt, they release these invisible space mines into the air and quickly return. So you didn''t even notice it, but our radar actually responded for a while just now, that was their response as they returned. Then the enemy fell into our trap and naturally hit the minefield weid out. Obviously, we seeded. For you, this is also a great achievement. Without the information you brought back, we couldn''t have achieved such a great victory. This victory also confirms your previous contribution."
After listening to Yan Xinghe''s narration, Lan Xuanyu finally realized that without a doubt, this was a grand feast prepared by the Douluo Federation for the Dragon Horse Gxy. The feast was incredibly sumptuous. Half of the warships had already been destroyed, and the pursuit of the Seventh Fleet would undoubtedly result in even more losses.
Celestial Steed.
With a loud bang, the entire room made of special stones had turned to dust.
Tien Long''s face was gloomy and somewhat pale. At this moment, he was in human form, wearing a white robe. In his eyes, six pupils were contracting violently.
Around him, many of the stronger individuals of the Dragon Horse Gxy had been blown away by the earlier explosion. Only one man with a slender figure and handsome face was still standing by his side. At this moment, his face was somewhat flushed.
"Tien Long, you have to give me an exnation. What happened? Why did it turn out like this? Why did all three parties copse?" The handsome man almost roared in anger.
"I also don''t know what happened either. This is a trap set up by the Douluo Federation. How is this possible? How could they know?" Tian Long roared in a low voice, and his eyes, each with six pupils, had contracted like needle tips.
The handsome man looked at him coldly, "Do you know what this means? We have gradually umted strength with great difficulty, but the losses are so heavy. You are solely responsible for this."
Tian Long suddenly turned his head and looked at him with cold eyes, "Tian Ma, does it make sense to say these things now? The most important thing now is to salvage the losses. I will recover the losses that I caused. I am going to the front line now."
He spoke and in a sh, he charged towards the sky. But at that moment, Tien Ma extended his body and a pair of giant white wings that covered the sky opened in the sky, forcefully blocking Tian Long''s path.
A terrifying collision urred with a loud boom, and in an instant, the sky and earth trembled, and became dark and dim.
n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Why are you stopping me? Move aside," Tian Long said coldly.
"Your mind is already in chaos. It''s not yet time to break out into a fight. If you take action, the other side will target our, and Celestial Steed will be the first to bear the brunt. You have made such a big mistake. From now on, I will take over themand of the gxy''s battles. You must return to Celestial Dragon immediately, stop manpower, and prepare to resist the uing invasion of the Douluo Federation. Hide all the important facilities that can be hidden. Later, I will summon manpower. We must go to the Douluo Federation. We will definitely suffer losses this time, but we must minimize them as much as possible."
The pupils of Tian Long slightly erged as he looked at Tian Ma in front of him. His breath became steadier and he frowned, saying, "Why don''t we go now?"
Tian Ma said in a deep voice, "Negotiations also take time. Even with our cultivation, it would still take time to rush over. If we have that time, the damage that the enemy can give us would be too great. Let''s first withdraw our fleet to the vicinity of Celestial Dragon and Celestial Steed, and guard the two main stars. As for the others, we can''t focus on them for now. Let them hold on and try to conceal their locations as much as possible. Let''s arrange our internal affairs first, and then we''ll go to the mother of the Douluo Federation."
Celestial Dragon squinted his eyes, and the light around his body noticeably dimmed. "Should we seek help from the Scarlet Matron?"
Tian Ma furrowed his brow and said, "That fellow is too crazy. We shouldn''t cooperate with her unless it''s absolutely necessary. Although the Douluo Federation is a threat, we can still turn the tables as long as we have enough time. But if the Scarlet Matron is allowed inside the Dragon Horse Gxy, it will be difficult to drive her away again. Working with her is no different than seeking skin from a tiger."
"Well, let''s talk about itter. Let''s do it ording to your n for now. I''ll go back to Celestial Dragon. The responsibility for this incident is mine, and I probably know how it leaked out. Those ants from back then surprisingly didn''t die." Tian Long''s eyes shed with cold light as he mentioned this, and the face from back then appeared in his mind.
The light and shadows flickered, and Tian Long flew towards another direction. In the sky, his huge wings also folded and turned into light, disappearing behind Tian Ma.
Tian Ma fell from the sky, and at this time, many powerful beings from the Dragon Horse Gxy who had been thrown into disarray had already gathered around.
Tian Ma said in a deep voice, "Send my orders, all fleets retreat to the vicinity of Celestial Steed and Celestial Dragon. Retreat at all costs and do not engage the enemy."
"Boom!" A warship from the Dragon Horse Gxy exploded under the powerful firepower of Dragon Three. This was the seventh enemy warship that Dragon Three had defeated in a row.
In terms ofbat power, the warships of the Dragon Horse Gxy were indeed not strong, but at this point, they had already dispersed and were trying to flee the battlefield with all their might.
Soul fighter nes and space mechas had already been deployed, mainly to entangle the enemy and create time for their own side to defeat them. However, as the opponent insisted on escaping, the pursuit from the Seventh Fleet gradually weakened.
The fleet of warships from the Dragon Horse Gxy, although inferior inbat, still had quite good escape skills. This wasrgely due to theirck of coordination, and they had no problem operating smoothly in favorable conditions, but once they encountered unfavorable conditions, their first thought was self-preservation. Therefore, when the antimatter missiles began to explode on arge scale, destroying arge number of warships, many of the Dragon Horse Gxy''s warships immediately chose to turn around and run away. There was no thought of continuing the fight.
Therefore, although the Seventh Fleet pursued the enemy immediately, they only managed to annihte 10% of the enemy. If they continued to pursue, the distance between them and the mother ship would be too great.
Despite this, it was still an unprecedented victory. The third and fifth fleets also reported good news, having destroyed nearly half of the enemy forces. In the three battlefields, a total of over 1,300 Dragon Horse Gxy warships were destroyed, which was an enormous loss.
The coalition of the Dragon Horse Gxy was most afraid of copsing. Once it copsed, all factions would first think about how to protect themselves.
The Seventh Fleet reorganized and headed straight for the depths of the Dragon Horse Gxy. At the same time, the Meteor-ss reconnaissance shipsunched a full-scale attack to conductprehensive reconnaissance.
After breaking through the opponent''s defense, the Dragon Horse Gxy was like a gate that had been opened to the Douluo Federation, with no more ability to block reconnaissance.
The Proto Dragon Crystal, which had almost brought a catastrophe to the Douluo Federation, finally became a counter trump card and allowed them to achieve a great victory. It greatly weakened the enemy''s strength and took the initiative on the battlefield.
This is the importance of intelligence. If it weren''t for Lan Xuanyu discovering the earth-shattering conspiracy, the situation might have already been reversed.
If the fleet suddenly lost most of its power sources and was surrounded by thousands of enemy warships, it would have been a catastrophic disaster.
Chapter 989: Landing Operation
TL: GoldenLung
The impact of the Proto Dragon Crystal incident was truly enormous. Lan Xuanyu''s Sky Fighter mission was rated at level eight, which was undoubtedly well-deserved. Now the evaluation seemed even a bit low.
Of course, the credit for this achievement should mostly go to Nana. If it weren''t for Nana''s rescue, they would not have survived the attack from the Celestial Dragon projection.
At the Dragon Three Command Center,
Yan Xinghe walked down from themand tform, took off his military jacket, and stretched his body. His face was full of smiles.
This great victory was very important for the Douluo Federation. The losses of the Seventh Fleet were negligible. There was no doubt that the next step would be resource plundering. Taking advantage of this opportunity, even though it was impossible to really crush the Dragon Horse Gxy, the benefits obtained would definitely not be few.
"Xuanyu! On behalf of all soldiers, I thank you. Without your discovery back then, it could have been us who suffered defeat now," Yan Xinghe sincerely said to Lan Xuanyu.
"I was doing my duty," Lan Xuanyu hastily replied.
Although they didn''t actually go into battle this time, being in the Dragon Three Command Center and watching Yan Xinghemand the Dragon Three warships in battle was a huge help in umting experience.
Lan Xuanyu carefully observed every order Yan Xinghe gave. Despitemanding nearly 40 warships on the Dragon Three side, they were all following hismands smoothly. He mainlymanded the warship and transmitted orders through it.
They sessively destroyed arge number of warships and did their best to minimize losses on their own side.
Lan Xunyu discovered that themand of suchrge warships waspletely different from that of small and medium-sized warships. For example, the firing of the main gun of the Dragon Three warship was often not to kill the enemy, but to strategically divide the battlefield, protect friendly forces, and supportpanions, and so on.
Yan Xinghe''smand didn''t seemplicated, but it gave him a feeling of controlling the entire battlefield.
Sitting in the center, calm and not rushed, he would rather reduce the harvest and protect his own warships from loss as much as possible. Such amander would definitely be loved by the soldiers.
Everyone wanted to make achievements, but no one wanted to sacrifice blindly. Yan Xinghe''s ability to be the captain of a Dragon King-ss escort at such a young age is definitely due to his true skills. Watching himmand this war, Lan Xunyu learned a lot of things.
n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Yan Xinghe waved to Lan Xunyu and his team, indicating that they should follow him, and then turned and walked out of themand center.
Lan Xuanyu and his sevenpanions quickly followed. Yan Xinghe led them to the exclusive rest area for senior officers behind themand center, where drinks, food, and fruits were immediately served.
Yan Xinghe gestured for the seven to sit down and smiled, "How did you feel about this battle?"
"Sneaky! Oh, no, I mean, wise," Qian Lei blurted out, but immediately realized it was not appropriate and quickly corrected himself.
Yan Xingheughed and said, "You''re right, it was sneaky, but it''s necessary on the battlefield. Ethics and morals don''t matter if you don''t survive. Surviving is the first rule of the battlefield. Only by staying alive can you have any chance of sess. If you die, you lose everything."
As he spoke, his gaze turned to Lan Xuanyu, "Do you think our tactics were too conservative?"
Lan Xuanyu said, "There wasn''t any need to take unnecessary risks. It was reasonable to be conservative and minimize our losses as much as possible, especially since we have already achieved a great victory."
Yan Xinghe shook his head and said, "No one wouldin about having too few military exploits. If one can take certain risks and obtain a great deal of merit, everyone would be willing to do so. If you choose to join the army, you must have this mentality. Otherwise, you can only be mediocre and achieve nothing. However, taking risks doesn''t mean being reckless. First and foremost, we must have a clear understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of our enemy and ourselves."
"You might have seen the coalition of the Dragon Horse gxy defeated, even routed, but in reality, their individualbat capabilities are very strong. Being a part of the coalition meant being the mainbatant species of the Dragon Horse gxy. You may not have seen clearly just now, but some of their warships were actually organisms, powerful organisms. They had all sorts of abilities and their individualbat strength is extremely strong. Our soul masters would find it difficult to fight against the strong ones among them. If we were to split up and let our small warships pursue them, it would likely have a counterproductive effect and result in unnecessary sacrifice."
"We have already entered the Dragon Horse gxy, and you could never have guessed what we were going to do next. Our first mission was to destroy the military bases and facilities in the Dragon Horse gxy, while plundering all the resources we could find. However, in the process, we could only target a maximum of five objectives because our fleet could only be divided into five parts at most. Moreover, the distance could not be too far. In normal circumstances, we could only divide into four parts. The mothership was in the center, providing support at any time. We did this to guard against the top experts of the Dragon Horse gxy. At least a dragon king-ss escort ship is needed to cow them.
In Star Wars, there are actually many unwritten rules. We have been in a standoff with the Dragon Horse Gxy for so many years that such a situation has already formed. For example, we never use warships above the level of a warship to bombards, and the top experts of the Dragon Horse Gxy would not infiltrate the Federation forbat. Both of these are considered strategic weapons, and unless it was a matter of life and death or aplete breakdown, neither side would do so. Therefore, even in the process of destruction and plunder, we would notpletely damage thoses, only targeting the surface. Damaging resources would not benefit us, but it wouldpletely anger the Dragon Horse Gxy''s experts. Unless one side was confident inpletely annihting the other, no one would easily flip the table. This is the unwritten rule.
Lan Xuanyu nodded, and from the previous battle, he had actually seen some hints of that. Although the Seventh Fleet had won a great victory thanks to the trap, it was evident that they still had some apprehension. In other words, this was a battle mainly aimed at weakening the opponent, rather than really invading the Dragon Horse gxy. After achieving their strategic gains, the Federal Fleet would retreat.
Thinking of this, Lan Xuanyu couldn''t help but furrow his brows. "Captain, if that''s the case, were we always at a disadvantagepared to the Dragon Horse gxy before?"
A hint of surprise appeared in Yan Xinghe''s eyes. "You''re observant. Tell me your thoughts."
Lan Xuanyu said: "If the Proto Dragon Crystal incident had really been carried out by the Dragon Horse Gxy, they would likely haveunched a full-scale war against us. Now, we took advantage of this opportunity to crush almost half of their military strength, but we have no intention ofunching a full-scale war. This means that we are not yet ready to engage with them on aprehensive basis."
Yan Xinghe nodded and said, "That''s right. The Dragon Horse gxy has a deep foundation. Even if we could win at any cost, the final result wouldn''t be too good. I''m afraid there wouldn''t be many survivors among the seven fleets, as their super god-rank powerhouses are too terrifying. Currently, the most we can make use of is the fragmented state of the Dragon Horse gxy. Although it is centered around Celestial Dragon and Celestial Steed, different races have different demands, and during war, even if they are conscripted, no one will give it their all. After we defeat them this time, this problem will surely exacerbate. However, if we were to invade the Dragon Horse gxypletely and even exterminate all these races, it would be different. Once they fight us with all their might, the Federation will not be able to afford the losses. Despite having seven fleets, we are somewhat constrained in terms of troop deployment. Our time in the universe is still too short. The human body is still too fragile."
Chapter 990: Lan Xuanyu’s Future
TL: GoldenLung
"Many races in the universe, even at birth, possess cultivation levels as high as a Soul Emperor, or even higher. This applies to the entire poption. The only ones we canpete with are their space fleets. However, our resources are scarce, and the speed at which we build our space fleets is painfully slow. Currently, the eighth and ninth fleets are being built simultaneously, and this is the limit of what we can achieve with the continuous exploitation of resource stars in recent years. If we had dozens of space fleets, we would have already attacked the Dragon Horse gxy."
"I am telling you all this to remind you that when you conductnding operations in the future, you need to prioritize safety and, as much as possible, loot resources. Resources are the foundation of our development. With sufficient resources, especially rare metals, we can manufacture more space fleets and obtain even more resources."
Lan Xuanyu asked, "Captain, when should we get ready forbat?"
Yan Xinghe said, "Soon, we willunch a siege on Celestial Steed, oppress them, and then begin looting. The motherships of the third and fifth fleets will respectively arrive at Celestial Dragon and Celestial Steed. We will deter their top-level experts in outer space, so that they dare not act. Then we can divide our forces for looting. We don''t have too much time. If I''m not mistaken, the top experts of the Dragon Horse Gxy will definitely sneak to the mother for negotiations with us, threatening us to withdraw our troops. This is also expected. And this negotiation process is when we will harvest. Our primary mission in the seventh fleet is looting. In two days, five hundredrge transport ships will arrive. Before they arrive, we must take action. Our goal is to return fully loaded. And your team will also be involved in thisnding operation. Eliminate the enemy forces, find the best resources, and provide coordinates."
"Understood."

"Now, everyone go rest. Wait for the departure order," Yan Xinghe smiled.
"Yes!" Lan Xuanyu and the other six stood up, saluted Yan Xinghe, and returned to the living area.
Watching their departing figures, Yan Xinghe''s face revealed a faint smile, "Senior, let me see what your precious disciple can achieve. The stage has already been set for him."
Home, Shrek Academy.
Dean''s office, Outer Court.
Ying Luohong nced at Tang Zhenhua lying on the sofa, eating grapes with a very bad image, and said impatiently, "What are you doing? What if a teacheres?"
Tang Zhenhuazily said, "Then I''ll just get up!"
Ying Luohong looked out at the sky, "The war should have started by now. Our son is also there, and you''re not worried at all?"
Tang Zhenhua sat up and said with a bitter smile, "Could I not worry? I would have tied him to my waistband if I could. But for his development, we cannot do that! Unfortunately, he couldn''t get into the small team led by Xuanyu. But I believe that my son will definitely make something of himself. He has fully inherited his father''s talent in the star wars field. In terms of star warsmand, his grades in the ss are second only to Xuanyu. In the future, being a warship or even an escort ship captain will not be a problem."
Ying Luohong snorted, "What? Can''t my son be amander?"
Tang Zhenhua chuckled and said, "It will be a bit difficult for themander. It''s not just a matter of personal ability, but rather the result of bncing various factors. Don''t worry, everything will be fine. Choosing the Seventh Fleet is the wisest decision. General Bai Ling is rtively close to our academy. Also, isn''t Xinghe also in the Seventh Fleet? He''s a high-ranking officer in the fleet, and I''ve already talked to him. Your son will be assigned to thebat formation on the mother ship, mainly to study in thebatmand headquarters and will not participate innding operations. To be honest, if possible, I would prefer him to train innding operations, not because he''s my son, but because it''s good for his growth."
"Well, that''s good," sighed Ying Luohong in relief.
Tang Zhenhua continued, "It''s not really good. Without experiencing danger, growth will be much slower. Xuanyu and the others will go directly to Xinghe. Although Xinghe is not as talented as me in strategicmand, he''s very cunning and particrly steady, so he''s better than me in this aspect."
Ying Luohong''s eyes, which were once falling cherry blossoms, softened a bit. "If it weren''t for me back then, you would have had great development in the military."
Tang Zhenhua chuckled. "What''s the use of that? Is having a great wife like you not more important than having great development? I don''t need great development. Unfortunately, my personal cultivation is not enough to break through the God level. Otherwise, I would definitely y with a Super God-ss warrior. Now, I can only hope for my beloved disciple."
Ying Luohong said, "This time, 36 disciples from the Inner Courtyard of the academy went, along with all the teachers, for a total of 63 people. There are seven god-rank powerhouses, which is unprecedented support for the Federation. The Pavilion Master and Elder Yi have also gone to the Federation headquarters to prepare for possible retaliation from the Dragon Horse Gxy''s powerhouses. Do you think there will really be a war this time?"
Tang Zhenhua shook his head and said, "In fact, we were not fully prepared for the outbreak of war. In the past millennium, our development time was short but significant, with a technological explosion and the constant development of powerful weapons. Our resource consumption rate has also be increasingly enormous. For the Federation, this is a critical point. If we can ovee it, we will undoubtedly be a powerful force in the universe. If we fail, there is a risk of being destroyed. Therefore, the Federation will be especially cautious. For us, the Dragon Horse Gxy is a significant piece of meat. If we can really make it fruitful, we will have a solid foundation for great development. However, on the other hand, this piece of meat is poisonous, with lethal toxins, and many top-level powerhouses in the Dragon Horse Gxy. What we want now is more time to develop, to convert our scientific research intobat and productivity."
Ying Luohong said, "The fuse for this incident was on your beloved disciple. If we win, his contribution would probably be increased."
Tang Zhenhua said, "I think that it will not happen. His military rank has already been promoted to major general, which can already count as an additional promotion. When have you ever heard of an 18-year-old major general? The academy will have a breakthrough thanks to Xuanyu in the future. Maybe he will really join the military, representing our academy and Tang Sect, and establishing our own influence within the military. After all, that person has returned, and we no longer have to worry about the federal government''s ideas about us. That person was the former leading figure of Shreks resurrection and now the federal development has reached a bottleneck and must move towards the Dragon Horse Gxy. The federation also needs the full support of the academy and Tang Sect, so it will inevitably allow our true experts to hold a certain position in the military. In fact, we have been waiting for this day, and Tang Sect has done too much preparation for this. Over the years, I have seen some things in Tang Sect, but it should only be the tip of the iceberg. I just don''t know where the warships built by Tang Sect are."
Ying Luohong nodded as she said, "Does Tang Sect really have their own fleet of warships? Do they have any ships that are at the level of the War God-ss warship or higher?"
Tang Zhenhua responded firmly, "Definitely. When I was working with them at Tang Sect, I saw some equipment that should only belong torge warships. They were very advanced, even more so than what the Federation currently uses. Tang Sect and our academy don''t really trust the Federation government, so how could they not have a backup n?"
Ying Luohong nodded again and said, "That makes sense. The Inner Court suddenly requested that we, in the Outer Court, conduct an experimental ss on star warfare. It''s probably rted to this, and they must have received advance notice that the Federation is going to war with the Dragon Horse Gxy."
Tang Zhenhua said, "Tang Sect has a considerable number of disciples who are skilled in star warfare. They have trained many in batches, most of whom are graduates of the Outer Court of the Academy, and some are trained by Tang Sect themselves."
Chapter 991: Joining The Battlefield
Chapter 991: Joining The Battlefield
TL: GoldenLung
Ying Luohong''s heart was moved, "Do you think the academy is preparing the new generation of Shrek Seven Monsters to join the military?"
Tang Zhenhua said, "No doubt. Otherwise, with their age and strength, how could they have been selected? There are also many disciples at the Title Douluo level in the Inner Court, who are also young."
Ying Luohong said, "This year''s military training seems to be both a test and a cultivation opportunity for them."
Seventh Fleet of the Douluo Federation, Third Dragon King-ss escort ship.
Lan Xuanyu, and the other six people were in their own small meeting room in the rest area, looking at the star map.
They had received orders, and the instructions given to them were simple: explore, eliminate, and seek.
Without any specific targets, around fifty administrative resource stars were within the exploration range, with Celestial Steed and Celestial Dragon as the center. Upon discoverings with abundant resources, reports were immediately made and thending forces would go to steal resources and destroy military facilities.
In other words, what Lan Xuanyu and his team had to do was the first step in the uing raid.
The third and fifth fleets had one day left before they respectively arrived at Celestial Steed and Celestial Dragon, while the seventh fleet would begin to disperse after their arrival.
Yan Xinghe gave Lan Xuanyu and his team high maneuverability tasks without any specific direction, allowing them to act ording to their own ideas.
With this level of freedom, it was possible to demonstrate their tactical abilities and train further. Yan Xinghe had great confidence in their abilities. Lan Xuanyu was the Super God Fifty-Eight pilot. Although piloting a Meteor-ss assault ship was different from a fighter jet, the handling of warships and fighter jets had the same origin. He had even more information about Lan Xuanyu than General Bai Ling. Therefore, they let him act freely.
When Lan Xuanyu received the mission instructions, he was pleasantly surprised. This kind of mission with freedom was where they could maximize their abilities. With the strength of their seven-member team, even if they encountered a strong opponent at Title Douluo level, they could still fight. Furthermore, star wars were not just about personal strength. On their Meteor-ss assault ship this time, they carried as many as twelve antimatter missiles. This was not equipment that could be found on a standard military Meteor-ss assault ship.
Yan Xinghe told him to let go and boldly act under the premise of safety precautions. Once their ammunition was depleted, they had to return to Dragon Three for resupply. The 500rge transport ships from the Federation were noting empty-handed. They brought arge amount of energy and ammunition supplies. He was determined to take advantage of this opportunity to weaken the living forces of the Dragon Horse gxy while obtaining enough resources.
Among these 500rge transport ships, fifty were equipped with thetest technology: spacepression technology. The internal storage space was ten times that of ordinary transport ships and they were faster. This was the benefit brought by technological progress.
However, the manufacturing of spacepression technology also required resources, and the most important resource was a kind of ore with space element properties. Proto Dragon was a resource star that produced this kind of ore.
Lan Xuanyu pointed to the star map in front of him and said, "When the third and fifth fleets are in position to suppress the Celestial Dragon and Celestial Steeds, our seventh fleet will spread out and take action. Therefore, the dozen or sos around Celestial Dragon and Celestial Steed would be the main target of the main force. Since our mission is exploration, if we act with the main force, we will gain less. Therefore, let''s go to more distants. Our main target will be resource stars. The administrative must be inhabited by various races of the Dragon Horse gxy, and there must be strong individuals among them who we cannot handle alone. But it''s different for resource stars. In the previous war, the coalition must have withdrawn arge number of troops, leaving these resource stars rtively empty, especially in more distant areas. These are our targets. We will destroy military facilities and provide coordinate guidance for our follow-up forces."
Qian Lei rubbed his hands together and said, "Boss, we''ll do whatever it takes to get the job done. Finally, we can truly engage in star wars. Just thinking about it gets me excited!"
Lan Xuanyu said, "We still need to prioritize safety. Safetyes first. This opportunity is rare. Let''s get ready to depart."
They had no specific deadline forpleting the mission this time. Before the army retreated, they could act freely. Each time a specific target was reported to the army, the would gain merits based on the resulting resources and the damage inflicted upon the military facilities by the follow-up troops. Fifteen percent of the spoils would be credited to them, with the remainder going to the army.
If they brought back the resources themselves, one hundred percent of the merits would be credited to them.
Lan Xuanyu himself was already a major general and did notck merits, but his partners could use them very effectively.
Moreover, this was also an opportunity to prove themselves to the Federation.
Ten minutester, Yan Xinghe received an application from Lan Xuanyu, who requested an immediate expedition to a distant gxy.
After thinking about it for a moment, Yan Xinghe agreed. Although the federal fleet had not yetpleted the suppression of Celestial Dragon and Celestial Steeds, most of the Dragon and Horse starships had already retreated towards the two mains, so traveling through the Dragon Horse gxy was not too dangerous.
By leaving earlier and going further, they would surely reap greater rewards. If they could obtain information on an entire resource star and to a certain extent, destroy military facilities, they would earn more merits.
Thus, the Thirty-Three Sky Wing warship quietly departed from the Dragon Three Warship with special approval and flew high with its wings extended, heading straight to the depths of the Dragon Horse gxy for thirty-three days.
Lan Xunyu and his team had only seven members, so each person had to be responsible for an important system. Fortunately, piloting the Thirty-Three Sky Wing Warship was much easier than a federal-standard warship. Even one person could operate it.
Lan Xunyu sat at the main control position and decisively ordered the activation of the invisible mode flight. On the surface of the warship, all the wing patterns emitted a faint light, and in the next moment, it had silently disappeared into space.
Maintaining invisible flight consumed a lot of energy, but the Dragon Horse Gxy was enemy territory. Although most of the enemy''s warships were on the defensive, there was no guarantee that they would not encounter any. Invisible flight was the safest option, and the Thirty-Three Sky Wing Warship nevercked energy.
In this regard, they had a significant advantage, as Lan Xunyu was a Soul Forging Master at the Grandmaster level.
Back when they were on the Senluo, Da Ming and Er Ming entrusted the Emerald Demon warship to him and told him that the Emerald Demon warship needed to use spirit refined metal as its power source. At that time, Lan Xuanyu thought, "If ordinary warships used spirit refined metals as their power source, would the effect be even better?"
When he returned to Shrek Academy, he had asked Tang Zhenhua. Tang Zhenhua rolled his eyes and told him that of course it would be better, but who would be extravagant enough to use spirit refined metals as fuel?
n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om
The Positive Cirction Source Soul Circuit of the reactor extracted the most essential energy from rare metals. During the extraction process, the higher the quality of the rare metal, the more energy was extracted. spirit refined metal had already undergone extraction and had its own spirituality, which meant that it had already squeezed out the energy of rare metals several times over, resulting in much higher efficiency. Naturally, it provided much more massive energy.
However, ordinarily speaking, even finding spirit refined metals for manufacturing armors was a hurdle, who would use this stuff as a power source?
Lan Xuanyu would!
His sess rate in forging spirit refined metal was extremely high now, with a sess rate of nearly 80%, and he forged at a fast pace. In the Thirty-Three Sky Wing warship, a forging room had been specifically prepared for him, where he could forge ordinary rare metals into spirit refined metal at any time.
As a power source, the metals didn''t need to be Fuse Forged. Although Fuse Forged metals had better effects, Fuse Forging wasplex, time-consuming, and had a high failure rate. It was more efficient to just forge spirit refined metal.
Chapter 992: Warship Clone
TL: GoldenLung
The Thirty-Three Sky Wings now had the foundation for long-term flight andbat. Except for ammunition like antimatter missiles that couldn''t be replenished, all other energy could be obtained through the reactor. For example, the soul energy of the warship''s main and secondary cannons was no problem.
Before departure, Lan Xuanyu shamelessly asked Yan Xinghe for six antimatter missiles. Therefore, they had now a total of eighteen antimatter missiles on his Thirty-Three Sky Wings warship. It should be noted that a war god-ss warship only had a conventionalplement of thirty-six antimatter missiles, and a meteor-ss assault ship didn''t even have these weapons.
The power of antimatter missiles was even greater than Lan Xuanyu''s Dragon''s Fury, but the way they could be used was different. They were more suitable for use in space.
Their warship entered stealth mode, full power, and headed deep into the Dragon Horse Gxy ording to the star map.
n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The Douluo Federation had almost the entire map of the Dragon Horse gxy, despite not havingpleted a full exploration of it. These data were naturally obtained from other races. This highlighted the role of Sin. Although it was a gathering ce for evil, it was also an intelligence center where various information could be purchased. The map of the Dragon Horse gxy was purchased there and cross-checked multiple times before it became the current military map.
Of course, on the other hand, the Dragon Horse gxy also had various intelligence information from the Douluo Federation, which was also obtained from Sin.
Their first target, Lan Xuanyu and his team, took a full three days of flight and one wormhole traversal to reach.
The star map was easy to obtain, but the location of the wormhole was very difficult to obtain and expensive. Therefore, the Douluo Federation had urate positions for less than one-tenth of the wormholes within the Dragon Horse gxy. Obtaining information in this regard was crucial in this invasion. Only by mastering more wormholes could they be more flexible in this vast gxy.
There was silence in space, with no hint of a big battle. The Dragon Horse gxy was just too big. If one flew from one end to the other, it would take more than fifteen wormhole jumps.
The invisible Thirty-Three Sky Wing warship was like an invisible dust particle in the universe, flying silently.
One dayter, they arrived near their target wormhole.
After a simple reconnaissance, they found no enemy traces around the wormhole.
"Prepare to enter the wormhole," said Lan Xuanyu in a deep voice.
On the seats of the crowd, each person clicked their seatbelt and fastened themselves to their seats before entering the wormhole.
Immediately, the surroundings began to present a surreal sight, with countless lights and shadows shing by their sides. Although they had traversed through the wormhole multiple times, they could still feel the mystical nature of space during the journey.
Lan Xuanyu''s spiritual power had now officially broken through to the Spirit Domain realm, and his perception was much more sensitive than before. He could clearly feel that inside the wormhole, there wereyers uponyers ofpressed spaces, connecting one node of the universe to another. It felt extremely miraculous.
A god-rank expert actually had a certain degree of understanding of the simple mysteries of space ovep, which enabled them to travel through space. The stronger their cultivation, the higher the level of spatial ovep pressure they could bear, allowing them to shuttle to farther distances. However, no matter what, god-rank experts could not reach the traveling distance of wormholes. The mysteries of the universe were endless and required continuous exploration to gain more rewards.
"Raise the protective shields power to the maximum. Frenzy, charge the main gun. Prepare for battle. Xiuxiu, prepare tounch the antimatter missile." Lan Xuanyu gave a series of orders.
Everyone couldn''t help but look at him in surprise. They were still traveling through a wormhole, why prepare for battle?
But they only took a nce and immediately followed Lan Xuanyu''s orders. This was trust, and also what they learned to do after joining the army C to execute orders!
The faint white protective shield opened and became increasingly solid, and the vibration caused by the wormhole traversal also weakened ordingly. All weapons and equipment were prepared. Lan Xuanyu put on the main control helmet, and his mental power connected with the warship. He put his hands on the control sphere, and his thoughts werepletely unified with the warship.
Why did they need to prepare for battle? The warship''s invisibility would disappear during the wormhole traversal process, so when finishing a wormhole traversal, they would be exposed.
The fact that the Douluo Federation could obtain information about the wormhole meant that the Dragon Horse Gxy could also know which impulsive positions the Douluo Federation had obtained. It was possible that during the evacuation process, some warships would be dispatched to guard the wormhole exit.
Of course, it was also possible that nothing would happen. But Lan Xuanyu was definitely ready for battle just in case.
The surrounding scenery suddenly became clear, and everything slowed down. Just then, beams of light suddenly appeared without warning in front of the Thirty-Three Sky Wings warship.
At this point, it was impossible for the thirty-three Skywing warship topletely avoid them, but Lan Xuanyu had already prepared himself. His reaction speed was extremely fast, and under his control, the warship immediately rotated ny degrees to the left and turned sideways. Theteral thrusters were fully opened. At the critical moment, they avoided most of the rays.
The rm of the protective shield sounded, and the strong impact force caused the Thirty-Three Sky Wings warship to fly sideways.
At this time, four warships had already appeared on the radar and were firing at them. Because their appearance was also very sudden, the four opposing warships were also firing with their secondary guns.
These four warships consisted of three small ones and onerge one. Therge one was half the size of a War God-ss warship, and the small ones were about the same size as their Thirty-Three Sky Wings warship.
Ignoring the specific shapes of the enemy warships, the four enemy warships had already begun charging their main guns.
Lan Xuanyu''s face was cold, but his control of the ship was incredibly fast thanks to his powerful mental abilities, allowing him to take control of the ship in the first instance.
In a sh of light, suddenly, the Thirty-Three Sky Wings warship that was in the enemy''s sight split into two, and another identical ship appeared.
The four warships on the other side that were charging their main guns were obviously stunned. What kind of dark technology was this? Ship clone technique? How was this possible? This was unheard of! The key question was, which one should they lock on to? Were both of them real or was one of them fake?
For a moment, the secondary guns that were originally covering the Thirty-Three Sky Wings warship split in half, attacking the ship clone that had appearedter.
The attack passed through naturally, as it was just an illusion.
With such a buffer, the Thirty-Three Sky Wings Warship had already stabilized. Under Lan Xuanyu''s control, the warship flexibly avoided subsequent attacks and immediately fled towards the distance.
The warship''s ability to split itself was not inherent, but rather came from the Treasure Seeking Beast. The most powerful ability of the Treasure Seeking Beast was to create illusions. The first time Qian Lei saw it, he was fooled round and round.
Later, it replenished itself through Lan Xuanyu''s continuous supplementation, especially with the power of the immortal energy it gained in the advanced Spirit Ascension tform. This restored part of its strength. It could now createrge-scale illusions. Although it could not give the illusions real abilities yet, mere phantoms still had a very good effect. It was no problem to induce the enemy.
The illusions created by the Treasure Seeking Beast had the same aura as real objects, making it impossible to discern through simple probing.
Lan Xuanyu''s face remained calm, even though he was facing four enemy ships. He was not at all panicked. They had encountered even worse situations when piloting warships in the simtion chamber. Surviving in the Chaos Star Field had long made them ustomed to facing strong enemies.
The four warships behind them naturally chased after them without hesitation, but in their field of vision, the Thirty-Three Sky Wings warship suddenly disappeared. Yes, it vanished into thin air.
Chapter 993: Striking From The Shadows
TL: GoldenLung
In their eyes, the warship in front of them suddenly turned ck and then disappeared.
This was not the invisibility ability possessed by the warship''s stealth form. No warship could disappear so suddenly. It was still Little Trea''s ability. His illusion could create an additional Thirty-Three Sky Wings warship, and could also create a ck box area behind the Thirty-Three Sky Wings warship, making the enemy suddenly lose track of the Thirty-Three Sky Wings Warship in front of them.
In fact, on the enemy''s radar, the Thirty-Three Sky Wings warship still existed, but the loss of visibility would definitely make them panic and confused.
Little Trea''s ability was not used by Lan Xuanyu even during the graduation exam. This was his trump card in Star Wars. Only a few people in their team knew about it.
They turned around and elerated with full force.
The Thirty-Three Sky Wings Warship returned, and under the cover of darkness, it appeared like a ghost, silently returning.
With Little Trea''s illusion ability fully activated, the opponent lost its lock-on. Little Treapletely simted the atmosphere of space, concealing all the movements of the Thirty-Three Sky Wings Warship. It took some time, but during the moment when the opponent was stunned, it was enough.
Why did Lan Xuanyu dare to infiltrate deep behind enemy lines alone? This was his biggest advantage. No matter how many or how powerful the enemies were, they couldn''t detect him. What could they do to him?
After Little Trea awakened from its slumber, it told Lan Xuanyu that its own spiritual energy had be self-sustaining after fully absorbing the divine fragments from the Spirit Ascension tform. Although it did not feed Lan Xuanyu''s spiritual energy, its own state became stable and it no longer needed to absorb Lan Xuanyu''s energy. At the same time, its own abilities also partially recovered, which contributed to the current status.
Of course, this kind of stealth state consumed a lot from the huge warship, and it could only remain invisible for a few minutes before needing to rest and recover. Otherwise, it would affect the source and return to its previous state.
In the battle, a few minutes was already enough time to do many things.
The Thirty-Three Sky Wings Warship disappeared without a trace on the radar, causing panic among the four warships of the Dragon Horse gxy. The secondary guns frantically fired at the previous airspace, but the main guns dared not fire without a target.
It was only then that Lan Xuanyu and his team could really see the appearance of the enemy warship.
These four Dragon Horse gxy warships were obviously of the same race, and their shape resembled a shuttle, which was closer to the appearance of a human warship. However, the armor on the surface was in ayered form and did not appear to be entirely made of metal. It seemed to have a strange gtinous texture and emitted a faint halo.
The warships of the Dragon Horse gxy were really not well known to Lan Xuanyu and his team. There were quite a few gun barrels on the four warships, and thergest one had as many as thirty-six secondary guns. It was precisely because of such dense firing that Lan Xuanyu and his team were unable to avoid it earlier.
The secondary guns of the four warships began to fire in various directions, trying to find the Thirty-Three Sky Wings from the void. But how would this be possible?
Lan Xuanyu controlled the Thirty-Three Sky Wings and slowly cut in from a tricky angle. He did not order the main guns to fire, which would expose their location. Although the main gun of the Thirty-Three Sky Wings was powerful, it could at most destroy a small enemy warship. If locked in at close range by the enemy, it would be very difficult to escape, especially in open space without cover and with the enemy havingrge warships.
"Prepare two missiles, target locked,rge enemy warship spotted." Lan Xuanyu gave themand as the Thirty-Three Sky Wings warship flew almost straight from below towards the center of the four enemy ships.
As they got closer, Lan Xuanyu''s voice grew deeper: "Fire!"
With a "swoosh swoosh" sound, the two antimatter missiles flew out of nowhere and headed straight towards the enemy''srge warship at close range. At the same time, the Thirty-Three Sky Wings warship made a beautiful tail flick and flew out diagonally. During the flick, Lan Xuanyu deliberately allowed the tail of the warship to be hit by a secondaryser beam from the enemy, reducing the energy of the protective shield. However, with the push from the hit, the Thirty-Three Sky Wings warship''s speed increased greatly and quickly flew towards the distance while vibrating.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment. Suddenly, the underbelly of the enemy''srge warship dimmed, and all the lights seemed to be absorbed in that instant. The next moment, the two antimatter missiles had already exploded.
The explosion was devastating.
"Boom-"
A War God-ss warship''s shield would be torn apart by a direct hit from an antimatter missile at close range. Moreover, there was still a gap between the shields of the warships of the Dragon Horse Gxy and those of the Douluo Federation.
Therge warship was instantly breached, and the intense explosion engulfed the three surrounding ships.
Weapons are only valuable when used. Although two antimatter missiles were expensive, it was definitely worth it to exchange them for four enemy warships.
Lan Xuanyu and his team were currently on a lone mission deep inside enemy territory, and their greatest fear was being noticed by the enemy. Therefore, upon discovering the four enemy warships, he immediately decided to annihte all four of them.
"Yuge, intercept the footage," Lan Xuanyu said to Tang Yuge.
"Understood," Tang Yuge immediately began operating.
On the warship, there was a recording system that recorded the process of battles, which was all considered military merit. Destroying an enemy warship was one of the most valuable achievements in the merit book.
But they couldn''t reveal the ability of the Treasure Seeking Beast, so the footage had to be edited, for example, the clone appeared in the footage and had to be removed. However, theter invisibility was not an issue because they couldn''t see it in the recording process from their own warship.
n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Thebined explosion of two antimatter missiles was even more powerful than imagined, saving them the trouble of finishing off the four warships in the Dragon Horse Gxy as they werepletely shattered and turned into cosmic dust amid the one-minute-long explosion, which gradually subsided amidst bursts of mes.
"That was satisfying!" Qian Lei eximed as he punched the air with force.
The invisibility was lifted, and the Treasure Seeking Beast recovered its energy inside Lan Xuan''s body.
"From now on, stealth mode will always be activated,"manded Lan Xuanyu. As the most outstanding Star Combat Commander student in the history of Shrek Academy, taking out four rtively weak enemy warships was really nothing. The opponent didn''t even have decoy missiles or capture missiles, only the most basic attacks. These types of warships had been phased out by the Federation for over a thousand years. Apart from their strong energy intensity, there was nothing worth praising.
Their first military achievement was a sess.
The Y-wing warship flew at full speed for thirty-three days.
Lan Xuanyu''s helmet raised, with sixteen antimatter missiles left.
The power of this thing was really huge. In fact, with the opponent''s defense, in retrospect, one missile would have been enough to inflict heavy damage on the opponent''s main warship and also affect other warships. As long as theyunched an attack, they would have been able to defeat the opponent.
However, two missiles were more convenient and saved follow-up measures.
Opening the star map, Lan Xuanyu checked it out.
"Huihui, transmit a message to Dragon Three and tell them that we have cleared the enemy forces beyond this wormhole," said Lan Xuanyu.
"Okay," responded Yuenen Huihui, in charge of themunication system. The seventh fleet''s mothership was thergest satellite and could transmit information within a certain range. Of course, this transmission required some time. With the current distance, it would take about two hours for Dragon Three to receive the message.
The farther the distance, the longer the transmission time, and if it exceeded a certain distance, information transmission could not bepleted.
With the advancement of space technology, the range of information transmission had also increased more and more. Like the fleet''s mothership, it could maintain contact with the mother star anywhere the Federal fleet had reached.
Lan Xuanyu looked at a silver-white on the star map, his eyes squinting slightly as a hint of burning passion shed in his gaze. This was their first target, and one could even say it was their top priority.
The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and
continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
Chapter 994: Planet Dragon Horse Seventy-Six
TL: GoldenLung
This target was also a destination that the Seventh Fleet would inevitably reach after nearby attacks, so it was cedter in the queue.
This was named Dragon Horse Seventy-Six Resource by the Douluo Federation. It belonged to a powerful race in the Dragon Horse gxy, ranking among the top ten in the gxy, known as the Spaceborne n.
Their warships were also the most distinctive, capable of conducting mid-range space jumps. They could jump almost point-to-point within a range of one light-year without passing through a wormhole, making them extremely agile.
There were not many warships of the Spaceborne n, but they had caused some trouble for the Federation fleet in the past. Fortunately, their warship numbers were not toorge, and theirbat strength was rtively weakpared to their space-jumping abilities. Otherwise, the damage they could inflict would be even more terrifying.
The reason why the Douluo Federation was able to develop the spatial ovep technology, which greatly increased the storage capacity of a storage device, was that they obtained a kind of mineral from the Spaceborne n''s trading on Sin. This mineral was also a rare metal, known as the origin of spatial elements by the Spaceborne n. It was abbreviated as the Space Origin Crystal.
Inside the Space Origin Crystal, there was a very rich spatial element, and more importantly, the spatial element that had always been highly chaotic could actually be contained in a solid form. This thing was really precious, but it was difficult to mine.
The space jumping ability of the Spaceborne n''s warship was developed based on the Space Origin Crystal. This was also one of the most precious rare metals currently known in the Douluo Federation. Moreover, the Space Origin Crystal was monopolized by the Spaceborne n, which was their biggest advantage in bing one of the top ten races in the Dragon Horse Gxy.
Regarding the Space Origin Crystal, even the Celestial Dragon and Celestial Steed coveted it. However, the Spaceborne n held an extremely tough attitude towards protecting the Space Origin Crystal. They would rather destroy it thanpromise with any party.
Therefore, the Celestial Dragon and Celestial Steed could only obtain a certain amount of Space Origin Crystal through trade.
The Space Origin Crystal was also ssified as the most important military material in the Dragon Horse gxy and trading it was strictly prohibited, let alone trading it to the Douluo Federation.
However, wherever there were benefits in the universe, there were ways to obtain them. It was precisely because of its rarity and prohibition that the price of the Space Origin Crystal became particrly high. The exorbitant price of this thing was jaw-dropping.
A fist-sized Space Origin Crystal could buy ten anti-matter missiles. It was that expensive.
The Douluo Federation paid a high price through various channels and means to obtain some resources. However, through research on the Space Origin Crystal, the Douluo Federation made significant technological advances in space, almost advancing an era. Spacepression, space ovep, and space jump technology had all developed significantly. The demand for Space Origin Crystals was almost infinite.
In the assault on the Dragon Horse Gxy, Space Origin Crystal was one of the top three resource targets.
Of course, obtaining Space Origin Crystal was extremely difficult. As the most important resource for the Spaceborne n, the Space Origin Crystal was naturally heavily guarded, with powerful defenders. ording to the current intelligence known to the Federation, although the Spaceborne n did not have super god-rank experts, they did have true god-rank experts, and more than one. They were especially good at various spatial abilities and were very difficult to deal with. This was also why the Celestial Dragon and the Celestial Steed were unable to deal with them.
Dragon Horse Seventy-Six was the most important resource for producing Space Origin Crystals. The Tang Sect Federation had to pay a thousand tons of various rare metals on Heaven Luo just to find out this information.
The was one of thirteen controlled by the Spaceborne n, and it was the most important one.
Lan Xuanyu was incredibly bold to set his sights on Dragon Horse Seventy-Six, so he didn''t even tell Yan Xinghe.
There were always true god-rank powerhouses stationed on the. It was heavily guarded and limited in terms of exploitation.
No one knew how the resource was formed, but the Space Origin Crystals themselves, given a certain quantity, would naturally absorb the power of space and solidify. As long as the exploitation was not excessive, the Space Origin Crystals would continue to provide a steady supply.
This was also why the Spaceborne n did not have enough warships. They calcted that as long as the annual mining volume did not exceed a certain amount, the total amount of Space Origin Crystals on Resource 76 would not decrease. This was the treasure of their entire n, and they would not exhaust it recklessly.
Lan Xuanyu and hispanions carefully considered and discussed targeting this.
They had advantages that others did not have. ording to the intelligence they had, the rare metals produced on Dragon Horse Seventy-Six were not just Space Origin Crystals, but three other types as well. However, these other three rare metals were not as valuable. Tang Yuge''s Five Elements Escape technique was enough to move among these metal ores, making it easier for them to prate deeper. In this way, they had a chance to obtain Space Origin Crystals.
Even if they could only obtain a small amount of the Space Origin Crystals, it would still be a valuable thing! They just needed to avoid the true god-rank powerhouses of the enemy side.
Even a true god-rank expert couldn''t cover the entire with their divine consciousness.
There was a Treasure Seeking Beast that could hide their presence and probe the location of the Space Origin Crystal, and there was Tang Yug''s Five Elements Escape Technique. Their chances were still quite good.
They weren''t here to seize, but to steal.
Space Origin Crystal was one of the most precious resources in the Dragon Horse Gxy. The Federation''s intelligence needs for 76 were also extremely urgent. In this war, they might not be able to reach this side and plunder the Space Origin Crystals. But obtaining enough intelligence was also of great value to the Douluo Federation and was a considerable military merit.
Therefore, after careful consideration and consultation with their partners, they turned their attention here.
"Come on, let''s have a meeting and determine the next course of action." Lan Xuanyu set the warship to cruise mode and called everyone to the front.
After arriving, we immediately begin our operation. Following our previous n, Little Trea will cover our presence as we infiltrate 76. Its illusionary abilities are also on the level of divine perception, enough to shield us and allow us to sessfullynd. Now, the problem we are facing is that we have no knowledge of the''s defense deployment or environment. Meanwhile, someone needs to stay on the Thirty-Three Sky Wings Warship to provide support. This operation is not forbat, but mainly for obtaining information and Space Origin Crystals. Therefore, for manpower, myself, Yuge, and Huihui will infiltrate, while Mengqin, Xiuxiu, Frenzie, and Fatty will stay on the warship, ready to support us at any time. If we encounter any trouble or lose contact, you all must return immediately, understood?"

Qian Lei said, "Boss, why aren''t you taking me with you?"
Liu Feng didn''t say anything and just nodded.
Lan Mengqin bumped Qian Lei and signaled for him to be quiet.
Bai Xiuxiu calmly looked at Lan Xuanyu and said, "I am going with you guys. I don''t want to experience the pain of losing Teacher Nana again. Whether we seed or fail, I want to be with you."
Lan Xuanyu furrowed his brows and looked at the others, but eventually nodded and said, "Alright, that''s settled. The four of us will go." He couldn''t refuse Bai Xiuxiu because he didn''t know how to.
"Since we''re not familiar with the situation on the, once we sessfullynd, Yuge, you''ll immediately lead us to use your Golden Burrow to go underground. Little Trea will help us conceal our aura. We''ll try to go deeper and find the Space Origin Crystals."
"Frenzie, you stay in space, orbiting around 76, with the main engine turned off and all vibrations minimized as much as possible. Don''t worry about energy consumption, and continue to hover in stealth form. Record the surface of 76. Don''t transmit them back yet, wait until we leave. During this time, don''t try to contact us actively. Radio waves will expose us to each other. We will contact you again when we return. "
