Chapter 1208: Return Trip
Chapter 1208: Chapter 1208: Return Trip
Yan Xinghe personally took him to the Warship’s warehouse to hand over all the gains before he let him go back for rest and recuperation.
Upon returning to his quarters on the Dragon Three Battleship, all their living spaces were still reserved for them. Looking at the metallic room, although it wasn’t anything compared to the luxurious residence on Sky Dragon Planet, Lan Xuanyu still felt a surreal sense of separation from the past. I’m back! It’s only here that I can truly sleep peacefully.
Today, he unusually abstained from cultivation and directly entered the realm of dreams.
The injuries on his body were actually mostly healed the day before, and although fighting would still be difficult, it wouldn’t pose too much of a problem. His body’s healing abilities had significantly improved. The Dragon God Energy he had forcefully absorbed this time would require him a long time to digest.
Moreover, after the great battle with Qi Tianlong, he further stimulated his own potential, allowing him to suppress his Cultivation and endure even longer.
He wasn’t in a rush for a breakthrough at all. Thinking about soon returning to Shrek Academy, even in his sleep, Lan Xuanyu’s lips curled into a faint smile. I’m going home!
General Bai Ling’s approval came very quickly. Not only did she approve Lan Xuanyu and the others’ return, but she also specifically dispatched a battleship formation to escort them back. It was also to escort all the data they brought back this time. As for the rare metal resources, they were recorded as military achievements. However, the items remained with the Seventh Fleet. Considered war spoils of the Seventh Fleet. Who doesn’t have their little bit of selfishness! Besides, it’s not something as good as Space Source Crystals.
Space Source Crystals had also been listed as controlled items on Sky Dragon Planet, and obtaining them had become very difficult. As for this, Lan Xuanyu didn’t insist, so there weren’t many gains this time.
Riding a battleship back home was naturally more comfortable and reassuring than piloting the Thirty-Three Skywing Warplane. On the second day, everyone from the Thirty-Three Skywing boarded the battleship for rest and Cultivation as they commenced their return journey.
As a brigadier general, Lan Xuanyu was naturally assigned the best room. He and Bai Xiuxiu stayed in one together. Of course, it was for Cultivation.
Although there was no replenishment of Dragon Qi temporarily, with the Dragon Marrow and Dragon Crystals available, and with the vast amount of Dragon God Energy Lan Xuanyu had previously absorbed, they could cultivate separately without any problems.
The cruising speed of the battleship was fast, and although it was affected by the speed of the escorting Meteor-Class Attack Ship, it only took a little over six days to see the Mother Planet.
Perhaps due to a soul connection, as the battleship entered the vicinity of the Mother Planet, Lan Xuanyu woke up from his meditation.
A faint rainbow halo flashed from the depths of his eyes; without releasing a strong aura, his whole being became more restrained than before. Invisibly, he possessed a profound demeanor.
These days of cultivating on the ship not only completely healed his injuries but also further absorbed the Dragon God Energy. The saturation level of his body also became higher. Through the Dragon Power Refining method, he fully immersed this Dragon God Energy within his body.
Although his Cultivation was still suppressed, Lan Xuanyu could clearly feel that he was still making progress. Whether it was Spiritual Power or his overall condition, he was subtly improving.
Bai Xiuxiu’s progress was even faster. With the help of Dragon Marrow, her daily cultivation was like a metamorphosis. Her Cultivation solidified while continuously improving. The enhancement of her physique was the fastest. She was becoming more and more proficient in mastering the strength that came from the merger with the Demon Queen.
“Have we arrived?” Bai Xiuxiu also opened her eyes, and seeing Lan Xuanyu standing by the window of the room looking out, she got out of bed and came to his side.
“Yes! We’re back,” said Lan Xuanyu with a smile.
Looking at the familiar planet outside the window, Bai Xiuxiu couldn’t help but burrow into Lan Xuanyu’s embrace, closing her eyes and saying, “We’re home.”
Lan Xuanyu smiled and said, “Once the issues in the Dragon Horse Star System are resolved, we won’t be busy anymore. We’ll come back to live on the Mother Planet and then travel and explore everywhere. How does that sound?”
Bai Xiuxiu’s eyes lit up, and looking up at Lan Xuanyu, she said, “Are you serious?”
Lan Xuanyu nodded and said, “Of course it’s true. If I really can inherit the Dragon God’s bloodline, then in the future I might actually have a chance to become the Dragon God. When that time comes, won’t I be able to go wherever I want? It’s not impossible that I could even create a Divine Realm just for fun.”
“Ha,” Bai Xiuxiu laughed, “Create a Divine Realm, you say. Aren’t you thinking a bit too much? Xuanyu, do you think Nana has woken up?”
Lan Xuanyu shook his head, “I don’t know. I hope that she wakes up. This time coming back, aside from reporting to the academy, another important task is to confirm that plant-class soul beasts can transfer life energy. There are two other important matters, one of which is to see if Teacher Nana has awakened.”
“What’s the other thing?” Bai Xiuxiu asked curiously. What matter could be so important that it compares to Teacher Nana waking up?
Lan Xuanyu mysteriously said, “I’m not telling you. When the time comes, you’ll naturally know.”
“Hmph, you’re keeping secrets from me.” Bai Xiuxiu wriggled out of his embrace, feigning anger.
Lan Xuanyu laughed heartily and pulled her back into his arms, “It’s not about keeping secrets, but telling you now is useless. It’s only meaningful when the time comes!”
The battleship slowly descended, entering the atmosphere. As a military ship, it naturally couldn’t dock in Shrek City. Shrek City Space Center was also incapable of accommodating a battleship of this size.
After entering the atmosphere, the battleship flew directly to the military port by the coastline and slowly landed.
Now that they had arrived at Douluo Planet, there was no need for Lan Xuanyu and his companions to transfer to another warship. The Thirty-Three Skywing took off in their Skywing Warplanes with military permission, soaring towards Shrek City.
Led by Lan Xuanyu, the Thirty-Three Skywing Warplanes formed a triangular battle formation in the sky, charging straight for Shrek City.
The Skywing Warplane could fight in space; with their incredible speed, it didn’t take long before the massive silhouette of the Eternal Tree came into view.
The Thirty-Three Warplanes dived down, aiming to land in the direction of Shrek.
However, they were not permitted to enter Shrek Academy directly. This was the rule; aside from the academy’s internal Mecha practice, even its own people returning from outside were not allowed to fly directly into the academy with their fighters. The airspace of Shrek was inviolable – a rule set since ten thousand years ago.
The Thirty-Three Skywing Warplanes flew to the exterior of the academy before they gently descended from the sky, landing at the academy’s main gate.
This scene immediately attracted the attention of many passersby who stopped to watch.
The Thirty-Three Warplanes descended from the sky, transforming into Mecha in mid-air before gently touching the ground, a rather spectacular sight indeed!
Lan Xuanyu and the others jumped down from their Mecha, each retracting their own. At this moment, the doors of Shrek Academy were fully opened, and a line of people emerged from within.
Leading them was none other than Elder Yi, the Vice master of Shrek Academy’s Sea God Pavilion. At Elder Yi’s side, followed Thunder God Douluo Wang Tianyu and the outer court’s dean Ying Luohong. Not only them, but also Meng Fei, the master of Tang Sect’s Douluo Hall, and Tang Miao, the vice hall master.
The presence of four Sea God Pavilion powerhouses to welcome them signified a status close to the highest in Shrek Academy.
Lan Xuanyu quickly led his companions to step forward, respectfully saluting Elder Yi and the others.
“Elder Yi, why go to the trouble of receiving us personally?” Lan Xuanyu said somewhat apprehensively.
Elder Yi gave a slight smile and said, “If we speak of generational ranking, we are actually peers. Moreover, the contributions you have made to the academy cannot be represented by a mere welcome. Let’s go, we’ll talk more once we return to Sky City.”
