Chapter 149: Change of attitude

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“A god-rank elite or a six-word Battle Armor Master’s instant acceleration would definitely be faster than a Mothership’s. Until a Mothership accelerates fully, its speed can’t match that of a Battle Armor Master’s. In this case, the god-rank elite would have a chance to sneak into the Mothership. Once they’re inside the Mothership, only someone of the same level can fight them off. Each Mothership is equipped with a god-rank elite. Why? To protect the interior of the Mothership from being intruded. Do you agree with this?”

Yin Tianfan was silent. Ji Hongbin was right; in all the major fleets of the Federation, each Mothership had a god-rank elite overseeing it to prevent the infiltration of strong enemies at critical moments. Of course, this sort of situation had never happened before. It was mainly to prevent rebellion. In a certain sense, a god-rank elite assuming personal command in the Mothership was also to supervise the military. They had an absolutely detached position.

Ji Hongbin continued, “A person’s battle power cannot be compared to a spaceship’s, especially during a space war. But how big can a person be? Humans are able to do many things that a space fleet can’t. Furthermore, a human’s potential is almost infinite. Ever since the evolution of our Mother Planet, mankind’s Soul Power increased from a limit of rank 99 to a limit of rank 120. Four-word Battle Armors used to be the highest rank, but now it has increased to six-word. This has opened a whole new door for mankind. I can safely say that actually, in the world of mankind, the most powerful is still this group of Battle Armor masters. If a Federation space fleet is faced with a group of god-rank Battle Armor Masters, the group of Battle Armor Masters will win.

“The Federation space fleet might destroy their homes, but in the end, these Battle Armor masters could definitely destroy the entire space fleet. You’ve studied there before so you should know how scary top Battle Armor masters are. Just because we don’t witness it doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist, so don’t say such ignorant things.”

Hearing Ji Hongbin’s ridicule, Yin Tianfan answered sarcastically, “As if you’ve seen it before either. You talk about six-word Battle Armor masters, but have you seen a six-word Battle Armor master or an almighty over the rank of 110?”

Ji Hongbin sneered, “Go and say this in Shrek if you dare, see if you’ll be slapped.”

Yin Tianfan said, “Anyway, I don’t care. I can already guarantee that Xuanyu will be able to enroll in the Space Commander System. Why should he risk it and learn from you? I want to strengthen his practical operation these coming few days and let him pilot a real space warship, then bring everything he has learned together and master it thoroughly.”

Ji Hongbin furrowed his brows. Yin Tianfan was right. With Lan Xuanyu’s performance in the actual combat previously, getting into Shrek Academy’s Space Commander System was practically a guarantee. But for the Battle Armor system, it would be extremely challenging.

“Master Yin, since I can already get into the Space Commander system, then I wish to learn the control of elements from Teacher Ji.” Neither of them expected that Lan Xuanyu would suddenly speak up at this time.

Ji Hongbin’s eyes lit up, and Yin Tianfan looked startled because during his lessons before, due to the slow increase in his Soul Power, Lan Xuanyu actually preferred space warship piloting.

“Alright, alright, alright. He is a far-sighted child, indeed. Fatty, what else can you say?” Ji Hongbin chuckled loudly and pulled Lan Xuanyu to his side.

Yin Tianfan was displeased. “Xuanyu, have you taken the wrong medicine? Do you know what sort of test you’ll be facing?”

Lan Xuanyu nodded and said, “The selection for Shrek Academy, right?”

Yin Tianfan was taken aback. “You really do know. Who leaked it? Shrek made it clear that we can’t disclose this to any of you before passing the preliminary test.”

Lan Xuanyu criticized him in his heart. ‘From the way you acted just now, didn’t you already want to tell me?’

“I heard from someone else,” Lan Xuanyu said. “Master Yin, don’t be mad. Since you said that I could definitely get into the Space Commander system, then let me try the Battle Armor system too, since I am quite interested in it. May I?”

“No.” Yin Tianfan scoffed. “Do you know that if you enrol in Shrek’s Space Commander system now, you’ll struggle for ten years less? You can’t take this lightly at all! What you’ll be facing are the elites from the entire Federation. Don’t think you’re very outstanding because in the Federation, your bit of strength isn’t much.”

“Alright, stop exaggerating to scare him,” Ji Hongbin said. “Let’s do this—give me a bit more time, and I will allow him to pilot the space warship for two hours every day. We’ll set it this way. Not only is he your hope, he’s mine too. Old Yin, you can’t be too selfish! It took me so long to find this opportunity.”

Yin Tianfan looked at Ji Hongbin, and Ji Hongbin stared back like he wasn’t going to back down.

Thinking about Lan Xuanyu’s performance in real combat, Yin Tianfan scoffed harshly. “You’re ruthless. Find me right after you’re done learning from him.” After that, he left in a huff.

Ji Hongbin watched him leave and patted Lan Xuanyu’s shoulders, pleased. “Seems like your interest in Battle Armor masters has increased! This break wasn’t given to you in vain. Could you tell me why?”

Lan Xuanyu replied earnestly, “Teacher Ji, I would also like to become an elite who can destroy a spaceship by myself.”

Ji Hongbin burst out laughing and felt a little disapproval in his heart. Destroy a spaceship with his own strength? How could it be so easy? Child, you have no idea how strong a spaceship’s protective shield is! But he wouldn’t pour cold water on Lan Xuanyu’s enthusiasm at this time, so he merely nodded. “You’ll have to work harder, then. Let’s go, we’ll begin now.”

In the coming days, Lan Xuanyu had been plunged into dire suffering. He basically only had two hours to meditate everyday, or could only meditate to recover after he was out of energy and had exhausted his Soul Power.

Ji Hongbin was determined and prepared huge amounts of rare ingredients for him. Other than training, he ate and meditated. He didn’t have any free time at all, which caused Lan Xuanyu to be so tired that he was somewhat vacuous.

At the same time, Yin Tianfan proceeded as mentioned and began letting Lan Xuanyu pilot a real space warship and try flying in space, allowing him to achieve mastery through comprehensive training.

Yin Tianfan was actually most satisfied with Lan Xuanyu’s courage. He was able to perform the move he learned during training on his first time in the battlefield and really destroyed his enemy. Yin Tianfan was most excited, for this meant that Lan Xuanyu wasn’t timid and wouldn’t be afraid when confronted with a real battle. This was the most important trait of a space warship pilot.

If he didn’t possess this courage, then no matter how well he performed during practices, when there was a real battle, he would only chicken out and wouldn’t be able to display even 30% of his capability.

The values that Yin Tianfan instilled into Lan Xuanyu were courage and wisdom. Having courage wasn’t enough, one must be able to accurately calculate all of the data in the space warship and couldn’t be careless at any time. These were the qualities that an outstanding pilot should possess.

“Alright, you may rest now for about eight hours. You don’t have to meditate; go have a good sleep, replenish your energy, and relax,” Ji Hongbin said to Lan Xuanyu, whose gaze was already vacant.

Lan Xuanyu’s eyes were almost losing focus already. “Teacher Ji, when does the trial begin? Where is it held?”

Ji Hongbin said, “It starts in nine hours, and the preliminary test is held in our school. Only the Elite Junior Class will be participating. The preliminary test is very easy, you don’t have to worry about it. The first selection test is mainly to verify qualifications, and after that, it will be the qualifier. The qualifier is in three days, so once the preliminary test is over, we can continue.”

“Oh.”
