Chapter 568 - Tang Sect’s Warship
Chapter 568 – Tang Sect’s Warship
“…” Lan Xuanyu and his team were speechless. This was too tight. They were notified only today and they had to set off tomorrow?
There was no doubt that this final exam would take place on another foreign planet. It definitely wouldn’t be in Shrek City or the Mother Planet.
Xiao Qi stood up and walked over to Lan Xuanyu. He said in a deep voice, “As the class leader, you are also the captain of your team. Remember this. You guys are going on a real mission this time and not a test that the academy has specially set for you guys. This means that you guys might really be in danger. Do you still remember what I told you before ? No matter what, don’t rely on others and rely on your own strength. The Tang Sect’s seniors will definitely take good care of you, but it doesn’t mean that you don’t have to do anything, nor does it mean that you aren’t in danger. My first request for you is that all seven of you must return in one piece.”
“Yes, I understand.” Lan Xuanyu nodded solemnly.
They still didn’t know what Tang Sect’s mission was, but since the academy had selected it for the final exam, it shouldn’t be easy. Since that was the case, they had to make ample preparations.
After walking out of Xiao Qi’s office, the seven of them looked at each other. The muscular Qian Lei asked Lan Xuanyu, “Boss, what should we do now?”
Lan Xuanyu thought about it and said, “I’ll go and do the preparation work. You guys go back and rest first. I’ll also buy the Endless Life Fruits that I promised to everyone. I’ll also buy some supplies for us.”
“Alright, boss, I’ll let you use all my emblems too,” Qian Lei said generously.
Lan Xuanyu glanced at him and said, “You can keep them. I still have enough. I will make ample preparations for this mission.” Emblems were no longer as important as when he first entered the academy after he became able to earn them through forging. So what if he spent some, he could earn more. The most important thing was to complete the final exam.
The night passed uneventfully. Early the next morning, Lan Xuanyu’s team of seven received a notification on their souldevice. Gather, set off!
No one sent them off as the other first years were still in class. A bus with the Tang Sect logo arrived at the academy to pick up the seven of them. It drove out of Shrek Academy silently and headed straight for Shrek City’s Space Center.
Lan Xuanyu and his team were all empty-handed and dressed in Shrek Academy’s uniform. Looking at the scenery outside the window, everyone couldn’t help but feel dazed.
Ever since they returned from the Elven Planet, everyone had put all their energy into cultivating. Everyone worked very hard and put in all their effort. They worked hard every minute and even forgot about time. Unknowingly, another semester had passed.
Now that they were out of the academy, at least they wouldn’t have to study or cultivate today, causing everyone to fall somewhat into a daze. They weren’t used to being relaxed.
Very soon, the soul bus drove into the Space Center and entered through a special channel. They arrived at a huge hangar and Lan Xuanyu’s pupils constricted.
It was a spacecraft parked quietly on the tarmac. No, to be precise, it should be a warship.
Although they had never been on a warship before, after so many years of learning and training in the Douluo World, they were still very clear about warships and civilian spaceships!
This warship was a silver streamlined warship with a length of about 40 meters. It was a small-sized warship and had a non-sophisticated appearance. The streamlined warship shell looked very beautiful and resembled a large space warship, but its main body was much thicker than a warship. There were no markings on the warship, nor were there any Tang Sect markings.
Lan Xuanyu had learned forging for such a long time and had a deep understanding of metals. But from the metal on the warship’s hull, he couldn’t recognize what metal it was.
There seemed to be a layer of water-like flowing light on the metal shell as though there was a layer of water that was constantly cleansing the warship. He didn’t have to ask to guess that this should be a special alloy that was specially made for warships.
“Warship, boss, it’s a warship!” Qian Lei exclaimed excitedly.
Lan Xuanyu now understood why the academy allowed them to follow the Tang Sect on this mission. More importantly, why did they only have to tag along with the Tang Sect’s team and not complete the mission.
Firstly, riding a warship was already an incredible feat for first years from the Outer Court. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible to be allowed to board a warship without sufficient training.
The requirements for warship soldiers were extremely high. They had to be specially trained for at least six years and undergo specific training.
And they had never even come into contact with a warship before. Lan Xuanyu, who had the most understanding of space command, was still stuck in the learning of space fighters and space mechas. He was still far from being qualified to be part of a warship’s crew.
There was no doubt that being able to board a warship was a very special experience for them.
Right at this moment, the water rune on the belly of the warship flickered as though it had dissolved. A ladder slowly descended and a person walked out.
It was a young man who looked to be about 27 or 28 years old. He was wearing a simple silver uniform and strode towards them. Then, he waved at them.
Lan Xuanyu’s group of seven quickly walked forward. The soul bus that sent them over had already left.
The youth came before the seven people and looked at Lan Xuanyu before looking at the other six people. He smiled and said, “You guys must be Shrek Academy’s first years.”
Lan Xuanyu: “Hello, first-year from the Outer Court, Lan Xuanyu, reporting to you.”
The other six also reported their names.
The young man smiled. “Let me introduce myself. I am Deng Bo from the Tang Sect’s Douluo Hall, and I will also be your team leader this time. Firstly, I welcome all of you for joining this operation team. Lan Xuanyu, you are the team leader of your team, right? Then, from now on, I am the team leader of this operation team and you are the vice team leader, assisting me in all my work. Come, let’s board the warship.”
With that, he turned around and walked towards the warship.
Upon hearing his words and seeing his actions, everyone was slightly stunned. This person was truly swift and decisive! But just a few simple exchanges made Lan Xuanyu and his team gain a favorable impression of him.
The source of this favorable impression was very simple. After all, Lan Xuanyu and his team were only 13-year-olds. Tang Yuge, who was the oldest, was only 15 years old. At their age, they were most afraid of not being acknowledged, especially since they came from Shrek Academy and had their own pride.
And this Tang Sect’s Deng Bo didn’t have any intention of looking down on them. Instead, he directly accepted Lan Xuanyu as the vice team leader. This made them feel like they had been acknowledged.
They followed Deng Bo onto the warship. The interior of the warship was very simple, and the space within the 40-meter-long warship wasn’t very big, so they could see everything once they got on.
The complete cockpit had all sorts of assistive facilities. The strangest thing was that the entire warship was completely transparent from the inside out. This was obviously a scene caused by material made from rare metals. It immediately gave everyone an eye-opener. A transparent warship! It was very advanced.
Lan Xuanyu’s group of seven couldn’t help but feel an inexplicable sense of ferocity from it.
But at this moment, Lan Xuanyu suddenly realized something and couldn’t help but ask Deng Bo, “Senior Deng, are you the only one from Tang Sect?”
