Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting-Novel

736 – Lan Xuanyu’s Unfettered Imagination

In terms of space fighter and small warship piloting, the Star War Experiment class had improved very quickly, and Yin Luohong knew this.

When they were still first years, they did cause quite a bit of trouble, but when they reached their second year, they quietened down.

Ying Luohong also knew that when they brought their Spirit Souls back from the Elven Planet, most of them had quite a good harvest, but she wasn’t too sure about the exact gains. After all, she was the Dean and couldn’t possibly ask about everything.

Hence, although she knew that the fourth years were very strong and thus increased the difficulty level of their Sky Fighter missions, she didn’t expect them to be so strong.

In Ying Luohong’s eyes, the Star War Experiment class led by Lan Xuanyu was bold and reckless. What else did they not dare to do? The second time they went out for their Sky Fighter mission, they stole a pirate team and used antimatter missiles from the Tang Sect. They even registered as a pirate crew. After they returned, they paid for all of the Sky Wings’ production fee.

This audacious team was extremely united and no one objected to Lan Xuanyu’s various plans. In fact, from the perspective of the students in the Star War Experimental class, Ying Luohong could not find a reason to object!

Lan Xuanyu’s every decision would bring benefits to everyone, and this was the key. Everyone could benefit from it, so why should they object?

Lan Xuanyu’s strongest point was that he never ate alone. Just like the Sky Fighter missions this time, if he only went to complete them by himself, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to obtain the 24 difficulty points. Also, individual missions would definitely be much simpler than team missions.

However, he did not choose to act alone. He wanted to bring the entire class with him to complete the missions together and share all the rewards with everyone. This was extremely beneficial to strengthen the cohesion of the class!

Even if Shrek Academy was filled with geniuses, no one in the previous years had done so. There were cases of some taking care of one or two people, but how could one take care of the entire class? Everyone wished that they could stand out and surpass others in the Inner Court exam. But Lan Xuanyu didn’t seem to have this thought at all. All he did was for the benefits of the entire class.

Ying Luohong even thought that doing so would affect Lan Xuanyu and delay him in his cultivation.

However, the competition today allowed her to understand how strong the current Star Wars Experimental class was.

......

Lan Xuanyu’s performance wasn’t outstanding, but his partners were all strong. It was simply unbelievable that the fourth years could achieve an overwhelming victory against the sixth years.

“The fourth years have won the final victory of this competition and also obtained the qualifications to represent the academy to participate in the sparring competition. Today’s sparring will end here, I hope you guys will work harder.” After saying this, Ying Luohong turned and left.

The teachers in the stands weren’t in a rush to leave. They stood on the platform and looked over. There were already a few more teachers beside Xiao Qi and they were whispering to him, but he just shook his head.

Lan Xuanyu walked towards Sima Xian and extended his hand.

Sima Xian looked at him with a complicated expression and then looked at Tang Yuge, who was standing next to him and didn’t want to replace Lan Xuanyu as the class leader just because she was strong.

A bitter smile appeared on Sima Xian’s face but he still extended his hand and shook Lan Xuanyu’s. “You guys win.”

Then, he looked at Tang Yuge again. “Maybe you made the right choice to leave back then. With the fourth years, your growth has become even faster than ours.”

Tang Yuge replied indifferently, “Everyone has to get into their own positions. The earlier you get into your positions, the earlier you will understand. I am not suited to be a leader. I am far inferior to Xuanyu in this aspect, and I might not even be as good as you. My departure is not a bad thing for the sixth years. You guys are not weak, we are just simply stronger.”

That’s right, were the sixth years weak? Compared to the previous graduating classes, they weren’t weak at all. Four seven-ring Soul Sages was already an outstanding achievement. In previous years, only Zheng Longjiang was an eight-ring Soul Douluo. Seven-ring Soul Sages were usually the strongest in a graduating class.

One had to know that they were only 18 years old! An 18-year-old Soul Sage was already very impressive.

But the fourth years were stronger, Tang Yuge was about to turn 18 this year, and her companions were only 16 years old on average. How strong would they be two years later?

There was no doubt that when they graduated, Tang Yuge would have at least achieved eight rings.

“Let’s leave it at that.” Sima Xian nodded at them and turned to leave.

The other sixth years followed behind him and left, leaving only Rong Yuxuan with tears in his eyes. He looked at Yuanen Huihui with a long face and said, “You’re right, I’m still not worthy of your sister! But I will work hard to get into the Inner Court. I might have another chance there. I won’t give up.”

“Get lost!” Tang Yuge pointed at the exit.

“Alright.” Rong Yuxuan coughed and turned to run without any embarrassment on his face. His mental fortitude was definitely the best in the entire sixth year.

The match ended. This match allowed all the teachers in the Outer Court to have a whole new understanding of the Star War Experimental Class.

Those who were truly familiar with them knew that they had yet to unleash their full strength. They still had their Sky Wings.

An hour later.

Lan Xuanyu sat cross-legged on the sofa in Tang Zhenhua’s office and said with a smile, “Teacher, is it really impossible? If it’s possible, it would be a new era for individual combat in the future.”

Tang Zhenhua rolled his eyes and said, “You’re thinking too much. What do you think an antimatter missile is? The storage conditions for antimatter missiles are extremely harsh. Do you think you can carry them around with you just because you want to? And you want to place an antimatter missile on a mecha? Have you thought about it? Even if you could, would you be able to run after launching it ? The shockwaves would kill you.”

Lan Xuanyu was discussing with the teacher whether they could install antimatter missiles on the Sky Wings and launch them in space fighter mode.

If it was possible, then their 33 Sky Wings team would be too strong. In the future, they just had to save up money to equip antimatter missiles. This thing had such great power in space, and if used in ordinary space battles, its destructive power could be imagined.

If every Sky Wing was equipped with an antimatter missile, that would be…

Unfortunately, Tang Zhenhua poured cold water on him.

Lan Xuanyu: “Is there really no other way?”

Tang Zhenhua replied indifferently, “It’s not impossible, but in order for a Sky Wing to have a suitable environment to store antimatter missiles, it has to be at least twice as large and much less flexible. Also, in order to ensure safety, all of you must have at least Three-Word Battle Armors to ensure that you won’t be harmed by the aftershocks.”

“You’re a god-rank pilot, and you already have a serial number. Don’t you know what it means for a pilot to have a space fighter with a larger body? Also, the cost of upgrading isn’t cheap. Maintaining the storage environment for antimatter missiles would consume a lot of energy.”

Lan Xuanyu furrowed his brows and nodded. “This is indeed a problem. Although carrying antimatter missiles would increase the burden on the Sky Wing itself, I feel that it is still necessary under some special circumstances. Teacher, do you think this will work? Can we make a plug-in device that carries antimatter missiles and attach it to a Sky Wing when needed? After it is projected, it can be dismantled at any time? We can hang it up only when needed.”

Upon hearing his words, Tang Zhenhua’s heart stirred. “This sounds like a plan. But I’ll say it again, to ensure your safety, we’ll think about it when you have your Three-Word Battle Armors. The destructive power of antimatter missiles is too strong. With your current strength, there’s a risk of death if you are affected even a little bit.”
