“Explode the flying shuttle?”

“What joke is this?”

“Without the flying shuttle, wouldn’t we all be dead?”

“No, absolutely not!”

...

A tossed stone caused a thousand-layered wave to manifest.

The moment Feng Lin spoke, everyone instantly objected. Quarreling voices could be heard everywhere.

Yet, Feng Lin was as calm as ever.

“Feng Lin, what do you mean?” Donghuang Taichu asked in a heavy voice.

“Exploding the flying shuttle. Do you want us to be completely exposed in outer space? There are so many spirit lifeforms out there, how can we survive?” Augustus’s expression turned unsightly.

“That’s right, what shitty idea is this?”

“Are you trying to harm us?”

“If you are ignorant, don’t speak blindly!”

...

As the two other captains exhibited their doubts, their team members began to shout again one after the other.

Feng Lin wasn’t angered. He merely smiled coldly. “When it comes to fighting against the spirit race, tell me if you are more experienced or I am?”

The volume of this sentence wasn’t great, but it effectively silenced everyone.

Everyone exchanged glances. They suddenly recalled that Feng Lin was a bane to the spirit race. When the Great Qin Flying Shuttle was attacked, he managed to kill his way out and survived despite the fact that his cultivation base back then was very low, merely an elite cultivator. This was what led him to become a legend in the university.

If based on one’s understanding of the spirit race, who could rival him?

Donghuang Taichu and Augustus exchanged glances and started to speak.

“Feng Lin, it isn’t that we are doubting you. But your plan is too crazy!”

“That’s right. Without the protection of the flying shuttle, how can we kill all the spirit lifeforms out there.”

The other freshmen all nodded in agreement.

“Look...” Feng Lin didn’t answer them. He merely pointed outside.

Everyone glanced over. Their eyes widened as their hearts palpated with fear.

The outside of the flying shuttle was completely surrounded. There were no gaps at all. Even starlight couldn’t enter the window. It was like the flying shuttle was surrounded by a layer of membrane.

The protective barrier wouldn’t last for long. The energy within it kept gushing out due to the spirit lifeforms devouring it.

Feng Lin slowly spoke, “If we don’t explode the flying shuttle, will we have a chance of victory? These spirit lifeforms treat energy as their food. If we continue waiting here, the energy in the protective barrier would be devoured sooner or later, and the flying shuttle would become nothing but a pile of scrap metal. It wouldn’t be able to block the advance of the spirit race. At that point in time, escape is impossible even if we wanted to do so. Hence, if we continue waiting like this, we would simply be waiting for our deaths!”

“Then what solution do you have?” Donghuang Taichu heavily spoke. Although his background was extraordinary, he had never encountered such a dangerous situation before. It was understandable that he would panic.

The others also glanced over, understanding the gravity of the situation.

“There’s only one method.” Feng Lin was as calm as ever. “We have to use other flying equipment and at the point of explosion, all of us will split up and flee to prevent all of us from being surrounded again. One must know the logic of never placing all eggs in one basket. All of us are shouldering the final mission given to us in exchange for the instructor’s life. We have to do this cautiously; we cannot all die here!”

He calmly explained. Even in such a dangerous situation, he didn’t lose his calm and thought of a solution that had the highest possibility to succeed.

The other freshmen couldn’t help but nod when they heard his logic.

They were freshmen, but they were also soldiers. In such a dangerous battle against another race, understanding flashed in their eyes.

Sizzle~

The energy of the flying shuttle was being devoured rapidly. The lights in the interior kept flickering, growing dimmer and dimmer, almost to the point of darkness.

“The energy of the flying shuttle is being exhausted. 18%, 17%, 16%...” The flying shuttle’s A.I. warned.

The faces of everyone was filled with terror.

If this carried on, things would be as what Feng Lin had said.

Once the flying shuttle lost its energy completely, it would be destroyed. At that time, the countless spirit lifeforms would swamp them completely. They wouldn’t even have a chance to fight at all.

“Right!” Now that things had come to this state, Donghuang Taichu and Augustus exchanged a mutual glance and decisively agreed. “What do you want to do?”

“Make your preparations then.” Feng Lin calmly spoke. “All freshmen will be split into three teams, and we shall break out from three different directions. Those with collapsible shuttles, don’t be selfish! Take out the shuttles and let others board as well. In such dangerous times, if you still want to hold back, none of us will be able to live.”

“Right. When the flying shuttle here explodes, I will activate my collapsible flying shuttle, the Golden Crow. Members of the second team will board my ship with me.” Donghuang Taichu took the lead and spoke.

“People of the third team will board my Angel!” Augustus also stated.

These two were from interstellar mythological clans that had deep foundations.

Although the price of a collapsible space shuttle was priceless, it wasn’t difficult for them to obtain one.

“The members of the first team shall board my Flowerfruit Mountain!” Feng Lin spoke after that. This caused the perspectives of many people to change.

After such a long time, those people present were all very clear about Feng Lin’s background. Feng Lin came from an extremely inferior and desolate region in the solar system. His foundation was too shallow. Yet, he could take out an object like a collapsible shuttle? It seemed like all of them had underestimated him.

“Make your preparations.” Feng Lin commanded.

The existing state of affairs was too urgent. The freshmen didn’t have time to dispute anything. They rapidly made their preparations, regulated their breathings, and checked their equipment, etc...

These actions continued silently, and the atmosphere grew increasingly tense.

This was because everyone was very clear about the danger they had to face soon. If they were the slightest bit careless, they would definitely die a miserable death.

“The flying shuttle has activated self-destruction mode. Countdown begins! 10, 9, 8...”

The countdown began, stirring the hearts of people.

“Everyone, let’s meet again if we are able to. I hope that we can see each other once more at the university.” At this moment, Feng Lin smiled. His smile was so relaxed and confident, easing the tension in the hearts of everyone. After that, many people began to smile as well.

“3, 2, 1!”

BOOM!

In outer space, a radiant ball of sparks suddenly erupted forth.

The metallic shell cracked as a boundless energy storm blasted outwards along with the broken shards.

The spirit lifeforms outside were forcefully dissipated from the blast and became the most basic atoms in the universe.

A gigantic hole had appeared in the sea of spirit lifeforms.

And amidst the explosions, while taking advantage of the lapse of the spirit race’s concentration, three flying shuttles abruptly shot out in three different directions.

Chi, chi, chi~

Sharp electromagnetic waves suddenly rang out in the air.

Those spirit lifeforms began to roar in rage as they surged over in pursuit.

Bang, bang, bang~

A bright light flashed as the three shuttles opened fire simultaneously, shooting out countless light cannons and leaving behind resplendent trails in the air.

Countless spirit lifeforms that were unfortunate enough to be in the radius of the attacks were instantly disintegrated into sparks.

But even so, more and more spirit octopuses floated over, wanting to engulf the three shuttles.

RUMBLE~

The three flying shuttles unleashed their maximum firepower, ignoring the energy consumption. They took advantage of the hole created in the wall of spirit lifeforms by the explosion and rushed out with their greatest speed.

Long trails of spirit lifeforms could be seen following behind each shuttle, but soon after, the three shuttles vanished into the horizons; each could no longer see the other.

Now, their lives depended on their fates! The path ahead was filled with endless danger!
