Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting Chapter 978: A Bit Easy

Chapter 978: A Bit Easy

TL: GoldenLung

At that moment, He Qingyi's voice had already sounded ahead, "Everyone, set off. Our destination is Starry Sky City. During the journey to Starry Sky City, you will encounter various enemy attacks. It's a ten-kilometer journey, and you must arrive within thirty minutes. You'll be scored based on your time. Let's go."

As they walked out of the room, their field of vision suddenly widened, and a wilderness lay before them. Looking around, they could see hills and valleys in every direction.

They didn't need coordinates or navigation; Lan Xuanyu and the others could see where Starry Sky City was, as it was a city floating in the sky.

In their diagonal front, a huge city floated several kilometers high. The city seemed to be entirely made of steel, and they could see it clearly. Moreover, there was a layer of light s.h.i.+eld released on the city's surface, seeming like a protective s.h.i.+eld.

The sky was free, but in the sky, there were many creatures flying. These creatures, which looked similar to flying spirit beasts, hovered in the air. Obviously, they were the obstacles for those who wanted to go to the Starry Sky City. To reach the Starry Sky City, one had to pa.s.s through these flying creatures.

Not far from Lan Xuanyu, Ye Lingtong turned her head and glanced at him without saying anything. Suddenly, a black mecha appeared in front of her with a flash of light. The height of this mecha was only 4.5 meters, and it looked relatively small among mechas. But the black coating already indicated its strength. As the mecha opened, Ye Lingtong leaped into it. At the moment the cabin door closed, Lan Xuanyu clearly saw the burning fighting spirit in Ye Lingtong's eyes.

The next moment, the black-grade mecha had already taken off and rushed into the sky like an arrow.

A large bird with a wingspan of over six meters was the first to spot her, and it instantly charged towards her mech. The metallic sheen of the bird's wings sparkled in the sunlight.

However, Ye Lingtong's black grade mecha didn't even try to avoid it. It charged forward with a fierce determination, and suddenly a bright white light appeared on the surface of the mech. With a loud bang, the bird's body shattered upon impact, and Ye Lingtong's black grade mecha soared higher into the sky. Facing the obstruction of flying creatures, it unhesitatingly continued its fierce onslaught.

The other officers also displayed their abilities and put on their mechs, taking to the sky. They were all clearly soul masters, but within the military, their reliance on mechs was obviously stronger. Mechs ascended into the air, fighting against the flying creatures while flying towards Starry Sky City.

However, the seven members of Lan Xuanyu's team remained motionless in place. Because Lan Xuanyu didn't move, the others waited as well.

They looked up and observed for a while, and then realized that those flying creatures were probably not soul beasts because they didn't see any powerful soul skills. In relative terms, it was more like a group of flying creatures with much stronger combat power than ordinary birds, but only relying on physical fitness in combat. There were more of them, but their individual combat power was not too strong, at most equivalent to the level of a hundred-year soul beast.

He Qingyi also watched below, and he had already noticed that the seven people led by Lan Xuanyu had stopped moving, but he didn't urge them. After all, Lan Xuanyu's military rank was higher than his. Although military ranks couldn't be displayed here, a general was still a general.

"Let's go up, Sky Wings Fighter mode. We still need good results." Lan Xuanyu smiled and said. In front of the seven people, a light s.h.i.+mmered simultaneously, and seven purple mechas appeared in front of them.

Upon seeing the purple mechas they released, He Qingyi furrowed her brow. As outstanding students from Shrek Academy, and even as Inner Court students, did they only have purple-level mechas? Moreover, their mechas appeared to be larger, all over six meters. According to modern mecha standards, the more powerful a mecha, the more it should control its size to ensure agility.

In the sky, Ye Lingtong, who had already flown out more than half the distance, naturally saw the situation below. Seven purple-level mechas? And they only looked like ordinary purple-level mechas? Was this the level of Shrek Academy?

Just as she was doubting in her heart, Lan Xuanyu and the other six people had already climbed into their mechas, and the seven figures soared into the sky.

As the mechas began to rise, those purple-level mechas had already started to transform.

Skywing Mecha, transform!

Almost in an instant, the seven Sky Wing mechas transformed into Sky Wing Fighters, with their tail flames spitting out and breaking the sound barrier with a deep roar. The seven fighters soared up into the sky, forming a neat triangular formation and instantly charging into the high alt.i.tude.

Flying creatures also noticed them and tried to intercept, but the problem was that the flying speed of these creatures was too slow for the Sky Wing Fighters, and they couldn't catch up with them at all.

As the leader of the formation, Lan Xuanyu easily piloted his fighter, evading the creatures with small movements and breaking out of their encirclement. With the absolute advantage of speed, he effortlessly weaved through the gaps between the creatures and soared into the high alt.i.tude.

Back when he was in the Chaos Star Field, he dared to challenge wars.h.i.+ps with his fighter, let alone this kind of childish a.s.sessment in front of him. He had no desire to fight at all.

In almost just a few breaths, the seven Sky Wings fighter jets had surpa.s.sed everyone before and arrived outside the Starry Sky City s.h.i.+eld.

The fighters transformed again, and Lan Xuanyu reached out to touch the s.h.i.+eld. He discovered that the s.h.i.+eld was strong, but not too strong. It was probably only meant to defend against flying creatures equivalent to hundred-year soul beasts.

It seemed that pa.s.sing through the s.h.i.+eld was also part of the test, but it didn't pose a challenge to him. With a flash of deep blue light in his hand, Lan Xuanyu wielded the Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd, and the s.h.i.+eld couldn't withstand the power of his unstoppable divine weapon. He sliced open a gap, and the other six people followed him into it. Lan Xuanyu was the last one to enter.

After he entered, the s.h.i.+eld disappeared without a sound.

"What's going on?" Lan Xuanyu was a little stunned, but the Starry Sky City was right in front of them. They flew directly towards the floating city.

In fact, breaking through the s.h.i.+eld was not even a part of the a.s.sessment. It was not something that a regular mecha pilot could break through. It was just that Lan Xuanyu and his team were flying too fast, and the s.h.i.+eld didn't have time to deactivate…

He Qingyi was a little absent-minded as she watched from below, and even Ye Lingtong, who was charging forward, was a little distracted, causing her to deviate from her original position and be hit by a flying creature.

Mecha transformed into a fighter jet? What kind of black technology was that!

At this point, Lan Xuanyu and his team of seven had already landed on the Starry Sky City. They didn't know exactly where they should land, so they just landed on the surface of the city and retracted their Sky Wings mechas. Thirty minutes? They didn't even need thirty seconds!

This a.s.sessment was not particularly difficult, especially for Lan Xuanyu and his team, who found it very simple.

Six minutes later, Ye Lingtong broke through the encirclement. The closer she got to Starry Sky City, the denser the flying creatures became. It was already very impressive that she could reach there in six minutes, which earned her the top spot among the officers of her school. However, compared to Lan Xuanyu and the others who rushed up in just over ten seconds, she still had a long way to go.

Landing not far from Lan Xuanyu and the others, Ye Lingtong retracted her mecha and her gaze changed when she looked at Lan Xuanyu and his group. Her strong compet.i.tiveness burst into flames.

A special mecha? A mecha that could transform into a fighter? If she had such a mecha, she should be able to compete with them, right? She comforted herself in her heart.

However, none of the seven people in Lan Xuanyu's group paid any attention to them. Under Lan Xuanyu's leaders.h.i.+p, they all looked at the content about military rules and discipline that had already been transmitted through the soul communicator, using the time to learn while they had nothing to do.

When the last school-level officer finally boarded Starry Sky City, it took him 25 minutes. All the people had completed the a.s.sessment tasks.
