Chapter 110 - Space Warship

The fat vice president laughed and brought his arms down and supported Lan Xuanyu up. “Good, good, good. I finally found myself a successor. I will take you in. You will be my pupil from now on. RIght, this teacher’s name is Yin Tianfan, but it’s enough for you to know it. When you’re outside, don’t let anyone else know that you’re my disciple. This will be our little secret, ok?”

Lan Xuanyu was startled and was somewhat unclear of what the teacher’s intent.

By the side, Ji Hongbin muttered faintly, “Right, never mention his name outside, otherwise…”

“Hey, no one will treat you as a mute if you keep quiet! Shut up for me,” Yin Tianfan retorted.

Ji Hongbin laughed, stood up and replied, “Seems like you’ve changed somewhat. At least you know how to take care of your own pupil. I’ll head out first. Go ahead with your class, but given your glorious history, better think well on how you plan to educate this child. Lan Xuanyu is a good kid.”

“What do you mean by that?” Yin Tianfan fumed with rage.

Although Lan Xuanyu did not understand the sarcasm in Ji Hongbin’s tone, he knew for sure that it was not anything good.

Ji Hongbin straightened his lapels and placed both hands behind his back, instantly giving off the vibe of a man aloof of mortal matters. “Devil Fox Yin Tianfan, aren’t you very impressive?”

“Beat it, get lost. Get out of here,” Yin Tianfan retorted in exasperation.

Ji Hongbin sighed and turned to leave.

Lan Xuanyu watched Ji Hongbin leave before turning to the teacher he had just paid respects to, at a loss as to what to do.

Yin Tianfan’s face returned to normal after Ji Hongbin’s departure as a faint look of disappointment flashed past his eyes. He muttered to himself, “No matter what, I don’t regret anything. Hmph!”

“Teacher,” Lan Xuanyu called out meekly.

Yin Tianfan immediately regained his senses and a smile immediately appeared on his face. “I just can’t help it. Why can’t I control my temper every time I see Teacher Ji? You have to know that I rarely fly into a rage in the past. Seriously, ok, ok, since you have nothing much going on, let us begin our class today.”

“Yes,” Lan Xuanyu immediately became energetic. Although he was still suffering from fatigue due to the test, it was not enough to discourage him from piloting warships, which was his favorite interest.

“Teacher, have you really commandeered a warship before? How big was it? Tell me all about it.” Lan Xuanyu revealed him a face overflowing with excitement.

Yin Tianfan squinted his eyes and replied proudly, “Yes, I’ve commandeered a warship before. I have been in charge of all sorts of warships, even the biggest ones. You know about spaceships, but do you know its different types?”

Lan Xuanyu gave him a puzzled look. “I don’t! Up till now, I’ve only attended the warship piloting foundation course that only teaches us to pilot all sorts of Soul Guidance vehicles.”

“What’s the point of all that, they ain’t stimulating enough.” Yin Tianfan’s lips curled as he rolled his eyes. “Shall I bring you to experience what true outer space travel feels like?”

“Yes!” Lan Xuanyu immediately replied with great excitement.

“Come.” Yin Tianfan had finally made his move on Lan Xuanyu. He turned to open the sliding door to lead Lan Xuanyu in.

It was an extremely spacious room with a simulation pod four times the size of the ones he had used previously in the middle. Obviously, it was not a bedroom.

The simulation pod occupied more than 20 meters square worth of space, was completely white and had an elegant streamlined shape. It was extremely majestic and looked to be of extremely high quality.

“Woah, it’s huge! Teacher, is this a simulation pod as well?”

“Of course it is.” While saying that, he placed his hand on a Soul Guidance Communication Device. Following his action, the enormous simulation pod in front of them gradually opened, revealing the world within it.

Radiance twinkled from within as there were countless signal lights inside. Lan Xuanyu realized that it was unlike the simulation pod he had encountered before which was filled with a viscous liquid.

“This is a dual-seater simulation pod which allows up to two people to use together. It was actually…” At this point, Yin Tianfan paused, then continued. “Alright, you’ll be here. Just lie down. You don’t have to do anything else.”

“Alright.”

Lan Xuanyu stepped into the pod. The instant he laid down inside, he felt an extremely soft texture that gradually enveloped his entire body as though he was being submerged. The interior of the pod was actually completely soft.

Yin Tianfan stepped into the simulation pod and laid on the other side. The entire pod started to close.

The instant the simulation pod closed, everything before Lan Xuanyu turned bright as the boundless space appeared before him. There was no instance of darkness like the normal simulation pods that he had used before.

A gold light swept past them.

“Scanning… Identity confirmed… Heaven Luo Institute, Lan Xuanyu. 0 Piloting level.”

Right at this time, Yin Tianfan’s voice came up. “You ready? We will be entering the universe. What you will be experiencing is the sensation of flying inside a space warship in the cosmos. The impact on your body will be strong, so you better be ready. You can use your Soul Power to protect your body.”

“Alright teacher, I’m ready.” Lan Xuanyu gazed at the endless space with his big eyes. He did not know anything about an interplanetary warship but somehow, it seemed very interesting.

“Space warship 128, ready for take-off.” A static sound came out. Their surroundings lit up instantly.

Only then did Lan Xuanyu realize that it felt as though he was a flying vessel but was unable to sense his own existence and unable to move an inch.

Right then, an immense pushing force suddenly came from the back. He wanted to cry out in surprise only to feel that the intense force had locked him in place and disabled him to make a sound.

As though he was being pressurized and squashed to pieces. The Soul Power within his body moved automatically, but under his current circumstance, it revolved around his body at an apparent slower rate. Fortunately for him, his meridians emitted a warm feeling that pervaded out from his chest to his entire body endlessly, making Lan Xuanyu feel better.

His body suddenly lightened as the pressure from before decreased. Space appeared before him in the distance.

‘Are we in space?’

Lan Xuanyu looked around him. The warship he was in was apparently transparent, allowing him to see everything in all directions.

The vast space was boundless. Although he had sat in an interstellar vessel before, it was his first time immersing his entire being in space.

This feeling was simply too miraculous.

Lan Xuanyu’s excitement flew to the top, reducing the unbearable feeling he had previously.

A strong force came out from behind again. Lan Xuanyu immediately looked ahead, in the distance, there seemed to be an object that was growing bigger in his vision.

It felt as though the space warship was extremely fast. In a short timeframe, large asteroids had appeared before him.

‘Is this an asteroid belt? It seems rather dangerous.’

Although he knew that they were still in a simulation pod, Lan Xuanyu had subconsciously become more anxious.

“Kid, sit tight and watch closely.” Yin Tianfan’s voice came out.

“Entering the battlefield,” The electric voice said.

‘Battlefield?’

Even before Lan Xuanyu could comprehend anything, he felt the entire ship perform an abrupt right turn before increasing in speed and plunging straight into the middle of the asteroid belt.

The spaceship moved inside the asteroid belt extremely quickly to the extent that he was unable to see the surroundings. Asteroids of different shapes and sizes flew past them swiftly. Suddenly, he realized that the space before them had turned immensely bright as the warship seemed to have shot out a beam of light.

The warship shook, spun and rolled, or that was what Lan Xuanyu felt.

The crucial thing was even during the spins, a violent force had pushed him out from behind. Lan Xuanyu became confused and disoriented with a buzzing and ringing sound in his ear.

As they continued to spin with the buzzing sound, countless flickers of lights appeared, but he was unable to make out as to what they were.

20 minutes later…

The simulation pod slowly opened.
