Chapter 905 - No. 4 Defense Planet  

“You know him!” Wang Teng was a little surprised when Di Qi spoke of Nangong Yue’s identity.

After all, Nangong Yue had been dead for more than a million years. He assumed that not many people would remember him after all this time.

So was Di Qi a… history enthusiast?

“It’s nothing. Only a few barons from the empire have disappeared for so many years. I would naturally remember them,” Di Qi said.

The two chatted as they entered the planet surrounded by the Great Qian Empire’s fleet.

From their conversation, Wang Teng knew that this planet didn’t have a name. It only had a code… No. 4 defense planet!

Under Di Qi’s directions, the QY-E63 spacecraft stopped at the planet’s dock.

This planet was a military fortress. Spacecraft couldn’t fly around as they pleased. Without Di Qi’s directions, foreign spacecraft that entered the planet’s atmosphere would be bombarded by heavy weapons on the ground.

Even a cosmos-level spacecraft would be shot down!

Even if it wasn’t a military fortress, some important life planets had similar regulations as well. Spacecraft couldn’t fly around there randomly either.

Wang Teng noted this point down in his heart.

This was common sense. It would be a disaster if he was shot down without knowing why.

The port of the no. 4 defense planet was extremely huge. A large number of spacecraft were densely parked in the port. They were all of different sizes and types.

Some spacecraft were dozens of meters long and were generally owned by individuals. Others were thousands of meters, which were large transport ships…

Wang Teng stood at the port and looked up at the gray sky.

This planet was considered a life planet, but it had a harsh environment. Looking down from a high altitude, one could see that the entire planet was dark brown with few areas of green and blue. This meant that water and plants were rare here.

The gravity of the no. 4 defense planet was about three times that of Earth. After Wang Teng got used to it, he started moving about freely. After all, he was a planetary stage martial warrior. As long as the gravity was not too great, it had little effect on him.

Seeing that Wang Teng was curious, Di Qi casually explained, “This planet’s resources have been exhausted. On top of that, it is in the border zone. As a military fortress, it has suffered from a wide range of attacks which had destroyed its ecosystem. Most of the life here has withered, making it what it is today.”

He explained as he walked toward the port. Wang Teng quickly followed.

“You still have wars?” Wang Teng seemed to have picked up something from the conversation and asked in surprise.

“It’s not strange. Every empire is engaged in wars to compete for resources. Furthermore, there are dark apparitions too. Do you know about the dark apparitions?” Di Qi mentioned.

“Yeah, I do. Our planet has been invaded by dark apparitions.” Wang Teng nodded.

“Then you people are a miserable lot,” Di Qi was a little surprised and said with sympathy.

“It has been temporarily resolved.” Wang Teng said.

“Oh?” Di Qi was even more surprised. “Your planet can deal with dark apparitions on its own? Your combat power is not weak!”

“I’m the strongest warrior at the moment!” Wang Teng said casually.

Di Qi stopped and looked at Wang Teng. “So, you dealt with the dark apparitions?”

Wang Teng didn’t deny it.

Di Qi didn’t delve into the topic and brought Wang Teng out of the port. They then came to a fortress that was made of steel.

They were surrounded by people soon.

They were all dressed in the uniforms of the Great Qian Empire. When they encountered Di Qi, they would stop to salute and watch both of them leave.

“You have a high status here?” Wang Teng asked curiously.

“This fortress must have a cosmos-stage martial warrior guarding it at all times. We are changed every three years. Now, I’m the head here.” Di Qi smiled.

While speaking, a group of young people walked over as if they were about to leave the fortress.

These young people were wearing battle armor, and they were dressed differently from the Great Qian Empire soldiers. There was even a slight difference in their auras. They didn’t look like soldiers, more like… students!

Indeed, students!

Wang Teng sensed a familiar feeling from them.

“Master Di Qi!” The group of young people approached and stopped before bowing respectfully at Di Qi. At the same time, their gazes landed on Wang Teng with curiosity.

Who is this young man? Master Di Qi is actually accompanying him personally.

Di Qi nodded. He then looked at a particular girl and said helplessly, “Olivia, I see you. Stop hiding.”

“Cousin!” The girl came out of the group and stuck her tongue out at Di Qi playfully.

“Cousin?” Wang Teng looked back and forth between the girl and Di Qi in amazement.

These two don’t look like cousins at all. And there seemed to be a huge age gap between them.

“What are you all up to?” Di Qi asked.

“We heard that celestial-stage vampire dark apparitions have appeared nearby, so we wanted to hunt down a few of them to complete the academy’s mission. Hehe.” Olivia smiled.

“Celestial-stage vampires.” Di Qi frowned and chastised, “What a load of nonsense. Planetary-stage brats like you hunting celestial stage vampires? You must be courting death!”

“Ah, we have so many people here. With Clive leading us, dealing with a first-level celestial-stage vampire wouldn’t be a problem. Our evaluation for the semester would be the best if we killed a celestial-stage dark apparition. People would be happy back at home too.” Olivia ran up to Di Qi and shook his arm. She was just like a little girl.

Hearing her words, a brown-haired youth standing in front of the group lifted his chest and smiled in a reserved manner.

Wang Teng saw that and was amused.

He had experienced too many things and bore the fate of Earth on his shoulders, which affected his state of mind. It had been a long time since he saw such ambitions from young people like them.

“No, it’s too dangerous!” Di Qi completely ignored Olivia’s begging and shook his head. “If something happened to you, Grandpa would skin me alive.”

“Hmph!” Olivia grunted and shook off Di Qi’s hand before glaring at him. “You are just afraid of Grandpa. You are not worried about my safety at all. I know you, Di Qi.”

“Don’t give me that. It’s useless. No means no.” Di Qi ignored her and turned back to Wang Teng. “Let’s go. Ignore them. They are just mischievous. Excuse them.”

“We were all young once!” Wang Teng shook his head and smiled.
