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

Chapter 416 – Arrival

Just like when he was forging, he had to carefully sense the changes in the metal. This perception ability could often allow him to feel small differences.

The spaceship took off. As expected, there was no longer the dizziness from the comprehensive test. After breaking into outer space, the rich life energy gradually faded. There was no longer the feeling of the Mother Planet. This made Lan Xuanyu slightly uncomfortable.

This made him understand how wonderful it was to cultivate on the Mother Planet.

Although the spaceship wasn’t big, it seemed to be very fast. It didn’t take long before it began its interstellar speed journey.

Everyone entered a deep sleep to get used to the spaceship’s space jump.

After an unknown period of time, Lan Xuanyu woke up from his deep sleep. He was surprised to find that everyone else was still asleep, including Xiao Qi. He was the only one awake.

There was a slight warmth on his chest; it came from the rainbow-colored Dragon God scale.

He closed his eyes and sensed the changes in his surroundings. Immediately, Lan Xuanyu saw many dense silver dots.

This is...

This familiar scene caused his heart to skip a beat.

‘These are elements, they must be. But in the vast outer space, in this empty environment, what kind of elements can be produced?’

Space element?

Whether it was in Shrek or Heaven Luo Academy, Lan Xuanyu understood that time and space were the two most mysterious elements.

Among the many elements, the most basic ones were water, fire, earth, wind, light, and darkness. The most mysterious were space and time. Other than that, there was also life and destruction. These two were the source of the universe and were the hardest to control.

On the Mother Planet, the most dense element was life aura. The benefits it brought to soul masters’ cultivation were obvious.

And at this moment, while flying in space, he actually felt the existence of the space element. These lively space elements seemed to be very attracted by him and naturally lingered around his body.

He looked out of the porthole and saw all sorts of lights flickering outside. Was this... a wormhole jump?

His body was firmly fixed to the seat and he couldn’t move. However, these silver space elements gave Lan Xuanyu a peculiar feeling.

He subconsciously used his spiritual power to guide these space elements and tried to communicate with them.

Strangely enough, when his spiritual power came into contact with these space elements, the Dragon God scale on his chest suddenly heated up as if there was a suction force. The surrounding space elements immediately surged towards him and poured into the Dragon God scale.

The bloodline vortex in Lan Xuanyu’s chest immediately started spinning faster. What was even more bizarre was that it was covered in a faint silver glow. That wasn’t the silver color of his bloodline. Compared to that, this silver color was very faint, but it was filled with liveliness. When it was injected into his bloodline, Lan Xuanyu immediately felt that his bloodline power was being replenished and was even slowly increasing.

He immediately understood that absorbing these space elements was actually the same as absorbing life energy and could replenish his bloodline power.

Space elements appeared more easily when traveling through space. He had never seen so many before.

So even space elements were fine ? Then could the water, fire, and wind elements that he had already mastered also replenish his bloodline power? But why hadn’t he experienced this before?

Could it be...

Lan Xuanyu gradually came to a realization. The reason why the three elements—water, fire, and wind—didn’t replenish his bloodline was probably because the strength of the elements wasn’t strong enough. It was because under normal circumstances, how could all three elements be so densely concentrated !

At Shrek, the rich life element was due to the existence of the Eternal Tree. In this spaceship, the richness of the space element was due to him traveling through space.

In other words, as long as there was a place with abundant elements, it could provide him with an effective nutrition. The feeling of cultivating in the spaceship was similar to cultivating in Sea God Lake. Although it was not as abundant as the life element in there, it was much better than during his daily cultivation.

I see, so this is the most suited cultivation method for me, right?

Just as Lan Xuanyu was deep in thought, the spaceship suddenly shook, and the number of space elements around them decreased rapidly. The space jump had ended, as the spaceship had rushed out of the wormhole.

The shining light disappeared and was replaced by the vast cosmos.

Lan Xuanyu took a deep breath and felt his filled-up bloodline vortex as well as the slight increase in the rainbow halo at the core of the vortex. He became more determined. He was gradually understanding his abilities and was looking forward to his future.

The students woke up one after another and the seatbelts on their bodies were removed, allowing everyone to stretch their bodies subconsciously.

“We are about to arrive at our destination. We will land in an hour. Students, please get ready. You will begin the final exam immediately after the spaceship lands. Please recover quickly.”

The prompt was an electronic voice and not Xiao Qi’s.

“How do I recover in a vacuum!” Space travel was quite taxing on the human body, and in an empty environment, there was nearly no energy. The effect of meditating was not great and could only help to adjust their body.

However, despite their complaints, almost all the students quickly entered into a meditative state and tried their best to recover.

Only Lan Xuanyu was in an extremely good state and didn’t need to recover at all.

Very soon, he saw their destination through the window.

It was a silver-white planet. Looking through the porthole, it was clear that this wasn’t a suitable planet for survival. On the surface of the planet, one could vaguely see different colored cyclones rotating. Looking down from space, one could see how huge these cyclones were on the planet.

There were many ring-shaped landscapes on the planet, but no one knew what they were for.

The spaceship brought them around to the side before entering the planet’s atmosphere.

Violent tremors woke up all the meditating students. It was different from the calmness when they left the Mother Planet. At this moment, the spaceship was shaking violently, as though it was about to fall apart.

Lan Xuanyu, who had already seen the situation outside, understood that this was caused by the various airflows on the surface of the planet. It seemed like the environment of this planet was really nasty!

“Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep!” The alarm sounded, followed by an electronic voice. “Everyone, get ready to brace against the impact. Make sure your seat belts are buckled properly. Don’t worry about the shaking, we will be landing soon.”

The scenery outside the window became blurry. In the midst of their shock, all the students had woken up, but they were at a loss.

Finally, after violent tremors, the spaceship slowly landed in a metallic world.

It was a gigantic metal base with a hole at the top, allowing the spaceship to land. The tremors calmed down only at this moment.

It was only at this moment that the students’ hearts finally stabilized. The violent turbulence from before had left them with lingering fear.

Although they were Shrek Academy students and already had a certain level of strength, it was still far from being able to survive in the outer space. In space, one had to have a mecha or a strong Battle Armor to be able to survive for a short period of time. They obviously didn’t have Battle Armors. As for mechas, they were mainly learning about mecha theory and some basic controls for this semester. They hadn’t learned yet how to operate them completely.

Other than the fact that they had a lot of other studies, there was another important reason. They were still young and had not grown up yet, so they were not used to being in the cockpit of a mecha. Even the simulation pods would not adjust to their statures because once they start learning it, it was better to directly let them get used to the interior of a real mecha.
