Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

654 – Arriving At Dragon Source Planet

Everyone was in a daze from the long meditation and had long forgotten about time.

Lan Xuanyu stretched lazily. ‘Are we almost there?’

He turned his head instinctively and looked out of the window. As expected, a yellowish-green planet had appeared in the warship’s field of vision and they were slowly flying over.

The planet gradually enlarged as the spacecraft entered the atmosphere.

There seemed to be some metal powder in the atmosphere, as there was a series of rustling sounds outside the spacecraft as though it was being baptized by a sandstorm.

When they passed through the atmosphere, they could finally see the surface of the planet.

The vegetation was green and the water source seemed to be yellow. This was the source of the yellowish green color of Dragon Source Planet.

Right at this moment, a group of space fighters arrived from below and flew around their spaceship to protect it.

This was a squadron of 10 soul warships. Seeing them, Lan Xuanyu couldn’t help but feel a sense of familiarity.

From the moment he started learning how to pilot a space fighter until now, he had already gone through that painful process and was filled with a favorable impression towards it. He could be considered an experienced pilot now. Even his teacher, Tang Zhenhua, said that there was nothing left to teach him in terms of piloting a space fighter. He had to figure out the higher levels of piloting by himself.

Very soon, they saw why the protection of the space fighters was necessary.

A flying creature flew up from below and quickly appeared before them.

It was a creature with four wings. Its four wings were spread out and its head was especially big, almost as big as its body, so its flying speed could not be considered fast. There was a huge yellow crystal at the top of its head and it was about six to seven meters long. When it was still very far away, the yellow crystal on its head shot out a golden light towards them.

A strange scene occurred. The golden light gradually solidified as it flew, as though it had absorbed something from the air and turned into a javelin-like existence. It flew towards the spacecraft at an extremely fast speed.

The space fighters’ soul rays shot out and intercepted it in midair, producing a loud boom.

The shockwave even caused the spacecraft to tremble.

After that flying Proto Dragon’s attack, it actually backed down instantly and ran away without looking back. It didn’t continue attacking.

Lan Xuanyu furrowed his brows. It seemed like this Proto Dragon wasn’t completely brainless! It didn’t attack blindly.

From inside the spacecraft, he couldn’t sense the aura of that Proto Dragon, nor could he judge how strong it was. But judging from its ferocity, it was probably at least a rank five or above Proto Dragon. The rank of a Proto Dragon corresponded to the rank of its Dragon Source Crystal. This was a ranking established by the Federation.

There were no more Proto Dragons behind them. The spacecraft landed steadily in the Federation’s Dragon Source Planet base under the protection of the space fighters.

This was a fortress-like base and was different from what they saw on Planet Number Four. Most of the bases on Planet Number Four were underground because the environment there was too harsh.

The base here was more like a fortress city. The entire fortress was square, and looking down from the sky, it felt as though they had returned to an ancient city.

All sorts of heavy soul weapons covered the city walls. Lan Xuanyu didn’t doubt that this place had an extremely strong soul shield that could defend the entire fortress.

The fortress was located on a flat plain, and everything within a radius of a few kilometers was flat. All the vegetation had been cleared out. This was to prevent any sneak attacks from Proto Dragons.

After the spacecraft landed in the fortress, Lan Xuanyu felt the hostility from this planet the moment the cabin door opened.

The life energy was very faint and the air also very thin. There was even a metallic smell in the air. Lan Xuanyu could tell that the metal elements in the air were very dense here, and there was even powder. It was definitely bad for the body to breathe too much.

Among everyone, Tang Yuge was probably the only one who felt good because her five elements had the metal attribute to begin with, and it was rare to find a place with such rich metal elements !

Below the spaceship, three officers were waiting for them. One was a lieutenant colonel, one was a major, and one was a lieutenant.

Yan Ruoting walked in front and got off the spaceship first. The three officers took the initiative to salute her.

After that, all the Sky Fighters got off the spacecraft.

After everyone came down, the lieutenant colonel finished his conversation with Yan Ruoting and said to everyone, “Welcome, Sky Fighters, to the military base on Planet Source Dragon. I believe everyone has already understood your mission. As for logistics and supplies, you can purchase them in the base. You will have a map of the base specially prepared for you. Please abide by the rules strictly and show your emblem when entering and exiting. Please note that once you leave the base, you will be responsible for your own safety. The base will not provide any support to prevent unnecessary losses.”

The lieutenant colonel’s attitude was gentle, but his words were cold. He didn’t seem to care much about Sky Fighters like them.

Lan Xuanyu vaguely understood that Sky Fighters were like mercenaries to the military in a sense. The Federation provided points and military achievements while Sky Fighters worked hard and carried out missions. This was an equivalent exchange.

Even the logistics and supplies had to be purchased by the Sky Fighters themselves. Of course, this was also very likely because they were the most basic Sky Fighters. If they were high-level Sky Fighters, the treatment would probably be different.

The map was directly transmitted to everyone’s soul communication device, allowing everyone to clearly know where to leave the base and where to enter. Within the attack range of the base, which areas were safe and which ones were dangerous.

That was it, that was it. Of course, there were also records of where the Dragon Source Crystals were handed in.

He had to complete his mission. Otherwise, if he failed the mission, he wouldn’t get a single point and would even have to pay for the spacecraft travel expenses. But after completing the mission, he wouldn’t have to pay for the travel expenses, and he would be rewarded with points and military merits.

Before the actual mission began, Lan Xuanyu and his classmates were given a lesson on the real world.

This society was realistic. Before they displayed their abilities, they would not be respected just because they came from Shrek Academy. In the world of Sky Fighters, one’s rank was everything.

Yan Ruoting brought them to an exclusive barracks area, which was a place for them to rest. It was just a very ordinary barracks. There was a simple toilet and a room for four people. They could return to rest at any time during the mission but they had to buy food and water here.

It should be known that all the physical objects and drinking water here were transported over by spacecraft and were extremely precious. Lan Xuanyu asked around and was speechless. All the prices here were more than 10 times that of the Federation. Of course, this was targeted at Sky Fighters and it was free for soldiers.

There were about 30,000 permanent soldiers here, and they would rotate once every five years. They had all sorts of advanced soul weapons and would fight the Dragon Source Planet’s Proto Dragons at random times to collect the Dragon Source Crystals.

The Sky Fighters also had to carry a similar mission, but there wasn’t any support from the military.

The Sky Fighters didn’t need to rest at all. After meditating on the spacecraft for over ten days, everyone was in their best state. The only thing they needed was to familiarize themselves with the environment here.

Lan Xuanyu also started the first meeting of their Sky Fighter mission.

He gathered all 32 people together. Including him, there were 33 people. Lan Xuanyu looked at his teammates with a solemn expression.contemporary romance
