Chapter 697 - Sky Wing Ranking
“Familiarize yourself with the warship first, then get everyone to give it a try. Everyone must familiarize themselves with the various functions of the warship. Fortunately, if necessary, you will be able to override the control of any position,” Lan Xuanyu instructed before heading to the forging room.
The duties were different according to the position. The more familiar one was with different positions, the more familiar one would be with the entire spaceship.
Meteor-class assault warships were the mainstream on the battlefield, and many pirate warships were only at this level. It was a precious learning opportunity to let everyone familiarize themselves with it.
Previously, when everyone was learning how to pilot a warship, they were mostly doing it in a simulation pod provided by the academy and there were very few opportunities to actually pilot a real warship and fly it out. There were only a few times in a semester. If not for Lan Xuanyu’s team getting a warship back from the Tang Sect, there would be even fewer opportunities.
But Tang Zhenhua’s teachings had always been very bold, which was why they got so many opportunities to pilot warships.
Now, piloting a warship to carry out a mission was another feeling. It was the best opportunity for them to practice.
This was also the reason why Lan Xuanyu insisted on choosing the team’s mission. Not only did they have to carry out missions, but more importantly, they had to grow in the process of carrying out missions. It gave everyone the opportunity to become a warship commander and familiarize themselves with every function of the warship.
After reaching the fourth year, the learning freedom in the Outer Court had increased even further. The reason why there was a mandatory Sky Fighter mission was to allow the students to improve greatly in actual combat. It was also to test their comprehensive ability and temperament through actual combat. The results obtained from this process were very important for them to get into the Inner Court in the future.
Lan Xuanyu was completely immersed in forging, while his teammates were rotating around the warship, familiarizing themselves with it.
In order to familiarize oneself with the various functions, there would naturally be different degrees of wastage to the warship’s energy. However, the Tang Sect’s warship was indeed advanced. Not only did it have an array formed from a Positive Single Source core, but there was also a device that could absorb the various rays of energy in the cosmos. This allowed the warship to reduce its consumption during the flight.
After a few days, everyone became more familiar with the warship and felt more like its owner. This was their own warship!
“Boss, we’re about to enter the wormhole, you should come back.” Ding Zhuohan was still in the main control seat. After all the students had tried the main control seat, he was still the one in control.
Lan Xuanyu stopped forging and returned to the front from the rear cabin. He stretched his body and his eyes revealed a hint of fatigue.
Although the wormhole jump would not affect the warship, there would still be some tremors and energy impacts. For safety reasons, it was better to have him pilot.
Ding Zhuohan gave up the main seat, but Lan Xuanyu wasn’t in a rush to sit on it. Looking at the wormhole that was getting closer, he took out some things from his Ring of Fate and distributed them to everyone.
They were all black masks, just ordinary masks, but it was enough to cover their faces.
“Once we’re out of the wormhole, we might bump into pirates at any time. We will act according to the situation. When communicating with pirates or if we really assault them, everyone should put on a mask and not reveal your face, for the sake of secrecy. Everyone must have their own serial number. The serial number doesn’t represent strength. I am First Sky Wing, Tang Yuge’s Second Sky Wing, Bai Xiuxiu’s Third Sky Wing, Lan Mengqin’s Fourth Sky Wing, Yuanen Huihui’s Fifth Sky Wing, Liu Feng’s Sixth Sky Wing, and Qian Lei’s Seventh Sky Wing.”
At this point, he paused for a moment before continuing, “Ding Zhuohan’s Eighth Sky Wing.”
Upon hearing this, Ding Zhuohan was overjoyed and looked at Bing Tianliang provocatively.
Bing Tianliang scoffed and muttered to himself, “Nine is the highest number.”
Lan Xuanyu continued, “Bing Tianliang, 9th Sky Wing, Lin Donghui, 10th Sky Wing, Yutian, 11th Sky Wing…” This was striking balance amidst helplessness. After putting Ding Zhuohan in eighth place, Bing Tianliang’s team was in ninth, 10th, and 11th consecutively, so they wouldn’t disagree too much. If they continued to argue, there wouldn’t be any results, so he might as well make the final decision.
He quickly gave everyone a number.
“After that, be it during our target planet’s activities or when facing pirates, we will use our numbers. At the same time, we must wear a mask to conceal our appearance and maintain a sense of mystery.”
The 33 Sky Wings pirate warship began to jump into the wormhole.
The wormhole outside started to become weird and colorful. The protective barrier of the Meteor-class assault warship became more stable, and the warship itself wasn’t affected too much as it continued to move forward.
Lan Xuanyu closed his eyes and quietly sensed the layers of spatial fluctuations in the outside world. He was actually looking forward to being able to control the spatial elements as soon as possible. It would be great if his fifth soul ring brought about the spatial elements, but this wasn’t something he could decide. According to the sequence of elements, it was very likely that it would be the light attribute.
Lan Xuanyu clearly remembered what the Beast God Di Tian said to him. His future breakthrough would require more accumulation, so he also needed more resources. Without resources, how could he exchange them for Heaven and Earth treasures ?
He had to complete more missions in order to complete the mandatory mission. He hoped that he would be able to advance to the rank of a five-ring Soul King when he graduated from the Outer Court. He didn’t want to fall behind too much.
He calmed his mind and gradually entered a meditative state to recover the energy he had expended during the past few days.
The warship shook slightly and Lan Xuanyu opened his eyes. The starry sky appeared once again and they had completed the wormhole jump.
There were many wormholes in the universe that could fold space, and each wormhole had to go through countless explorations before one could determine the location of the teleportation. Furthermore, not every wormhole was safe, and there were some wormholes that were extremely risky.
And those who could explore wormholes were god-ranked powerhouses. Only god-ranked powerhouses equipped with a god-ranked mecha and Battle Armor could survive in dangerous wormholes.
The confirmation of the location of any wormhole teleportation would be of great help to the development of the Douluo Federation because it meant that there was another space where humans could reach and the sea of stars that they could conquer would expand as well.
The peaceful time was over. Entering this planet, they were already not far from Sin Planet. The Federation had garrisoned troops here as well and were monitoring them near Sin Planet. Of course, to truly enter the range of Sin Planet, they still had to pass through a small wormhole guarded by one of the Sin Planet’s pirate warships.
The destination of Lan Xuanyu’s team was obviously not Sin Planet, but another nameless planet. According to the information provided by the Tang Sect, Sin Planet had named it the Third Trading Center. This was a place for pirates to transact. Even the Soul Federation officials would transact with pirates under certain circumstances because space pirates could sometimes obtain some extremely unique resources from far away places. They would not only plunder the Soul Federation, but also plunder other intelligent races.
Space pirates were like the vampires of the universe. They would bite anyone they encountered, and once they discovered that their opponents were too strong, they would immediately flee far away and never stop. They were cruel, cunning, cautious, and brutal; they had always been one of the most dangerous existence in the universe.
