Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

Chapter 263: Takeoff

Being able to be here, able to get through the layers of selection, made them undoubtedly the most outstanding, Not just in terms of individual strength but also in terms of maturity and thought when compared to their peers.

Seeing the fastened seat belts on their bodies, they knew that it was too late to regret it now. The spacecraft wouldn’t turn back no matter how unwilling, nervous, and frightened they were. They all had to face the real comprehensive test that was coming up.

Entering a battlefield! A real battlefield! When compared to learning federal secrets, this was what really scared them.

Whether you could live or not was no longer an issue with strength alone.

Compared to most people, who were feeling nervous, Liu Feng and Qian Lei, who were seated next to Lan Xuanyu, appeared quite relaxed. Especially Qian Lei, he even had a smile on his face.

A survival test, actual combat, and the battlefield. Putting all of these together, he was sure Lan Xuanyu’s talent for command would be brought out during a test like this. That was Qian Lei’s thought process. Since it was a test, it can’t be that everyone would die, right? As long as someone was alive, Lan Xuanyu wouldn’t have a problem for sure. It was no longer just confidence in Lan Xuanyu. It was blind faith.

Since arriving at Shrek, Lan Xuanyu’s commanding ability had not been brought out. Individual strength didn’t matter. After all, Lan Xuanyu’s team managed to entrap Bing Tianliang’s entourage of nine and emerged as champions.

These candidates may all be very strong, but they couldn’t compete with Lan Xuanyu’s pervertedness! No, his wits and farsightedness! That put Qian Lei in a very good mood. He thought that no matter what, Lan Xuanyu would definitely be able to help them survive.

“Xuanyu, we will be faced with foreign enemies for the test this time. Do you think we should get together and let everyone listen to your mobilization? That way, that’d make it easier to survive, right?” Qian Lei grinned as he whispered into Lan Xuanyu’s ear.

Although he wasn’t loud, Liu Feng could still hear him. Before Lan Xuanyu could reply, Liu Feng said in annoyance, “Fatty, are you dumb? As if anyone would listen to us!”

“Why not?” Qian Lei retorted, “We have Bing Tianliang and his team’s acceptance, as well as Dong Qianqiu and Lan Mengqin – that’s already a total of eight people.”

Liu Feng spoke with disdain as he said, “People said that one’s Spiritual Power is proportional to one’s IQ but I think it’s the other way round for you. Let me ask you, how many candidates are able to get into Shrek? Should we help them survive then, by letting them listen to Lan Xuanyu? What if someone backstabs us halfway through? Have you thought of that? Where is your brain?”

“I...” Qian Lei was somewhat speechless.

Lan Xuanyu laughed, “There can’t be too many people, you’re right. The more people we have, the bigger of a target we become. Also, Frenzie is right, not everyone would be willing to listen to us. We can’t help too many people either.”

“Alright,” Qian Lei was a little let down. He realized the problem with his ideas too and he couldn’t help but think that maybe he had been working too hard on cultivating his Spiritual Power recently, which resulted in a decrease in his IQ.

“As we are about to enter a hyperspace jump, please prepare to enter deep sleep.” The announcement was made and in the next instant, clear protective shields slowly rose up and covered every individual in their seats.

Hyperspace jump? What on earth was that?

Everyone looked at one another, no one truly understanding what was happening. In the next moment, a layer of fog arose in the protective shields and their eyelids suddenly became very heavy, falling into a deep sleep very quickly.

Before sleeping, Lan Xuanyu felt changes in his body, entering dreamland in the next moment.

Lan Xuanyu wasn’t sure how much time had passed when he woke up amidst the tremors but the protective shield was already open. The fog was gone too. He rubbed his eyes and realized that many people around him were still in deep sleep, but there were some that had already woken up too. contemporary romance

The tremors in the spacecraft were very strong and another announcement was made, “We will be landing soon, please be prepared for the impact.”

Within a few minutes, everyone woke up, one after another, most of them looking very confused. 20 minutes went by and the spacecraft reduced its speed suddenly, a slight sense of weightlessness coming over everyone, followed by a low rumbling, then the landing was complete.

This spacecraft was truly piloted in a more savage way than the civilian spacecraft.

The safety belts unbuckled at that moment.

“Disembark,” Xiao Qi’s voice came from overhead.

Along with the other candidates getting off of the spacecraft, Lan Xuanyu took a deep breath and composed himself, feeling the changes in his body. He turned to look at his teammates and his heart calmed down.

“AH!” One of the candidates in front, who had already gotten off the spacecraft, yelled, which added even more tension for the candidates behind him.

They finally got off the spacecraft, Liu Feng and Qian Lei’s expressions changing as well.

Their spacecraft had landed on a flat plane, meaning it definitely wasn’t a space center or something similar.

The entire place was overgrown with underbrush and there was a desert not far away, but near where they were, there were huge undercarriages and large brigades of mechas patrolling past them.

What shocked the candidates the most was the sky. In the sky, there were many gigantic spacecraft suspended amidst the clouds.

This was the first time seeing a real warship for most people at the scene.

These warships were too huge, as if they covered the entire sky. Based on the logo on them, they belonged to the Federation fleet.

“Oh god! It’s a real battlefield!”

In the sky above the spacecraft, there were two suns suspended: one was blue and the other was purple, both giving off different types of light.

After getting off of the spacecraft, the candidates could clearly feel that the air here was slightly thin, at least thinner than the planet they lived on. The Soul Power in their bodies was working by itself, helping to adjust their bodies and to adapt to the environment.

If they were ordinary people, it would feel like they were suffocating in this environment, but Soul Masters’ ability to adapt was much stronger and surviving here wouldn’t be a problem.

Xiao Qi and over ten people from Shrek Academy led the way, a group of soldiers coming towards them.

The man leading the soldiers was tall and had general stars shining brightly on his shoulders – he was a major general rank officer. Dressed in martial attire, he appeared to be in his forties, had tanned skin, eyes brimming with life, and a dignified bearing.

He gave Xiao Qi a military salute and Xiao Qi shook his hands, the two parties saying something to each other in low voices.

Xiao Qi then turned around once again and appeared before the candidates.

“We have arrived at our destination. You don’t have to know which planet this is. It is not made known to the public and it is also an administrative planet that we are colonizing. The overall environment here is most suited for human existence. Next, each of you will receive a locator. You must protect this locator carefully because it is also a recorder of your assessment this time. It will record everything that happens during the test. Each of you will get a supply kit and there is a day’s supply worth of food and water inside.”

With that, Xiao Qi’s gaze swept across everyone, “From now on, all of you will be temporary soldiers. Soon, all of you will be entering the battlefield as soldiers and what I can tell you is that your gains on the battlefield, such as killing the enemies and such, would earn you Shrek emblems. Even if you do not get into Shrek in the end, these emblems can be used to obtain some resources at Shrek Academy. Those candidates who manage to get in, this will also be your first actual combat class, your first battle assignment. The rewards of this assignment will depend on your own efforts. Later, all of you will be flown and air dropped into the battlefield. Your mission is to survive the next three days or get back here using the locator. Those who are able to get back here earlier will get additional points. The emblem reward system will not be announced for the time being but I believe none of you will doubt the fairness of Shrek. Next, you’ll be handed the locators and headed off immediately!”
