Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

Chapter 262: Move out

He enjoyed the dense life energy here as it felt extremely special and miraculous to him.

Upon arriving here, he felt as though he had morphed into an entire new being and felt the reluctance of leaving the place.

After driving for half an hour, the three Soul Guidance buses arrived at an empty plaza. Upon disembarking from the buses, the students all exclaimed in surprise. In front of them was the Space Center. It was actually not smaller than the Federation’s Ming Capital but was even larger in size.

Shrek City held the qualifications to have its independent satellite system. There were even rumors that this was the Federation’s true scientific center.

Under Xiao Qi’s guidance, they entered unobstructed without any check or procedure whatsoever and arrived at the heart of the Space Center.

Compared to the public center, there were far fewer people here so much that the place was practically empty. The large Space Center was actually empty.

They entered the inner region and changed to a ferry and were then sent to a spaceship. The gigantic spacecraft’s conveyor belt was already attached to the ground. They stepped onto the conveyor belt and were transported into the interior of the spacecraft.

All of the students sat in the most ordinary of seats. Upon sitting, metallic safety belts automatically locked them in place.

“Everyone, sit tight. We are about to move out.” Xiao Qi’s voice came out over the comms.

All the students were at a loss and somewhat nervous. Shrek Academy was truly too loaded. The school was actually flying out into space just for an exam.

After everyone was seated, a low rumbling sound was heard. Without any warning, the spaceship took off. contemporary romance

Lan Xuanyu felt his head go dizzy and faint under the intense rumbling and shakes. The flying speed of the spaceship seemed to be far faster than the public spaceship, so the impact was much stronger.

The thrusters were engaged to the maximum and very soon, they broke through the atmosphere. After a violent bout of vibration, the entire craft became calm. This meant that they had formally entered space.

Lan Xuanyu’s face revealed a strange expression along with a frown as he quietly sensed the changes in his body.

Right at this time, the comms sounded out.

Xiao Qi’s voice came through, “Welcome to Shrek Comprehensive Exam journey. I do not know if all of you will survive. But I will first emphasize on this: every word that will be spoken in a bit has to be kept as a secret if you are able to return. For this, all of you will sign a confidentiality agreement when you return. The reason for signing when you return is that it is meaningless for those who won’t come back.”

With the threat, the atmosphere inside the spaceship became even more anxious. A student was no longer able to tolerate the suspense and questioned, “Teacher, where are we going?”

Xiao Qi: “I will now tell all of you a story, which is also a secret that belongs to the Federation. It is also considered the final destination to all of the Shrek members.”

“All of you must have realized that the number of students inside the academy is very few, but why is that? That is because the majority of them have left to complete missions.”

“There had been various rapid developments in the Federation’s scientific department. From the great battle between the Sun Moon Continent and Douluo Continent, where the Soul Guidance technology was introduced—that was the very beginning of the Federation. All the way until the appearance of Battle Armors, Soul Guidance technology had gone a long way. Ten thousand years ago, the development of Soul Guidance technology had determined humanity’s interplanetary colonization to lessen and alleviate the pressure on the Mother Planet. A few thousand years later, the Federation’s science department developed and improved significantly. There is no doubt on the fact that we now hold various administrative planets and even the soul beasts have their own planets.”

“All of these administrative planets are planets suitable for us to live in. But do all of you know how difficult it was to even find and occupy such planets? Do you think it is so easy for us to take over those planets?”

“Of course not,” Xiao Qi answered his own rhetorical question. “Planets that allow us humans and soul beasts to co-exist mean that it has to have a large land space for all the living beings to thrive and to hold other living things at the same time. So, colonization is extremely cruel. We want to occupy other people’s homes and thus have to clash with many of the aboriginals. So, I need to tell all of you that in the universe, there are all sorts of lives and races. Our arrival will definitely encounter their strong resistance, so we can never avoid battles. In all of these administrative planets, only two of them were obtained without any fights, as there were no intellectual races there. But all the other planets had gone through large wars. Otherwise, what do you think our space fleets are for?”

“So, the process of colonization is, in fact, an invasion. To obtain more resources and allow our human race to survive, we have no choice but to clash with the aboriginals. All of you might ask, can’t we live peacefully with them? This is, in fact, impossible. Let me ask you this. If aliens from outside enter our Mother Planet and wish to occupy our space, will we allow them to do so? Just like how the Abyss wanted to devour the Mother Planet back then but was devoured by the Mother Planet instead. The clash between races is extremely cruel, and there is no way around it.”

“And in these interplanetary race wars, we have weak opponents but also strong opponents with their own rich and strong culture. And all of these opponents had brought us devastating losses. This is so that the human race can live better and obtain even more resources for our science development. We have to win them and obtain control over the planets.”

“All of you should know Sin Planet, the place hailed as criminal paradise. In fact, that is where space pirates come from, and there are not only human space pirates. And there are a few powerful beings who are actually remaining survivors from the other planets that had been driven away. They have unified and formed a power to resist us human beings. Sin Planet by itself can move, but they used a scientific method from an intelligent race to allow the planet to roam the universe. However, they are never far from the administrative planets that we control and would occasionally plunder for their growth. Our space fleet has repeatedly repelled them many times. All of them are our—and your future—enemies.”

“Shrek Academy can only groom so few people because the academy resources are limited. The academy’s main view is to groom a few elites to handle unexpected incidents. As the real sharp blade of the Federation, there are always traces of Shrek Academy in the most difficult of places. As participants, being able to arrive at this point proves that you are outstanding enough. The future you are destined to go into the real battlefield and not stay and immerse yourself in the fabricated Soul World. So, this final comprehensive exam, you will all face a true battlefield.”

“All of you are seated in this spaceship, which will bring you to an intelligent planet that the Federation has occupied. All of you will fight against the intelligent beings there. What you need to do is to do everything you can to survive on the battlefield. You are all humans. Once the enemies discover you, they will spare no effort to kill all of you. So, the mission is to survive. And when every single one of you faces a life threatening situation, it is where you will receive the largest stimulant that will stir all your potential. All of you will be equipped with a recording device that will record everything that you meet. In the end, the survivors will be evaluated. Our teachers will do our best to save you to ensure that not all of you are killed. But the students that are saved by the teachers are usually those that lose their qualifications to continue participating, so your grades will be determined there and then. So in the remaining journey, all of you will need to think of how to better survive under the threat of the enemies.”

At this point, Xiao Qi seemed to have sensed the break in atmosphere in the cabin. He paused for a moment before continuing: “I have shared all of the information. As for whatever enemies you will meet and how you will face them, that is something you can think of on the real battlefield. I wish all of you good results.”

The comms ended, and the entire economy class cabin was filled with an indescribable pressure. But right at this time, the inner quality of the students appeared. If it were any ordinary peers of their age, they would have cried for their parents. But the 140-odd students did not do such a thing.
