Chapter 588 – Everything Under Control
TL : GoldenLung
“Turn left.”
Upon hearing this voice, Lan Xuanyu’s eyes moved and he quickly led his team to the left as the seven of them charged into a small alley.
Not far ahead, a soul car was already waiting at the alley entrance. A familiar figure waved at them.
Lan Xuanyu leaped onto the pa.s.senger seat without hesitation and the others quickly got into the seats behind him. The door closed and the soul car sped up.
Lan Xuanyu could clearly feel a special energy fluctuation being released from the soul car. This energy fluctuation seemed to block out everything in the outside world, causing his spiritual power to be unable to sense the changes in the outside world.
There was no doubt that this was to prevent the pursuers from tracking them.
The speed of the car wasn’t fast and it quickly merged into the traffic.
The interior of the car was silver-white and looked very high-tech. There were many b.u.t.tons on the steering wheel and a huge screen below. Even the winds.h.i.+eld displayed a lot of data.
While driving, Deng Bo said in annoyance, “Are you guys crazy? Why did you guys go and destroy the Black Fang store and even blew it up? I would never have imagined in my wildest dreams that you guys are so brutal.”
Lan Xuanyu looked at him and said with an aggrieved expression, “You can’t blame us for this! Captain, you’re unreliable! You just threw us down here and we didn’t even have a single Heaven coin on us. If we didn’t think of a way, we wouldn’t even have food to eat. What could we have done ? We could only find out where there was enough money for buying a wars.h.i.+p. Didn’t you say that other than those s.p.a.ce pirates who focus on exploration, all the other pirates are evil and should be killed? Aren’t we doing this to punish evil and advocate good?”
Deng Bo scoffed. “You guys are punis.h.i.+ng evil and advocating good? This is blindness. If I didn’t arrive in time, you guys would definitely have fallen into the hands of Black Horn City. Do you know how much trouble this would bring to your academy? Your strength is not bad, but your temperament is simply too bad. Remember, if a soul master can’t maintain his calm, then no matter how strong he is, he will never become a true expert or a useful person.”
Lan Xuanyu felt even more aggrieved. “But, team leader, I’m only 12 years old this year.” Yes, Lan Xuanyu’s real age was only 12 years old. He was the youngest in the entire first year.
Upon hearing the words’ 12 years old ‘, Deng Bo was stunned. He turned to look at Lan Xuanyu and saw the look on his face saying “What can I do? I’m just a little white rabbit.”. The anger in his heart immediately lessened.
That’s right! These children were only 12 or 13 years old! On the way here, they were so talented in wars.h.i.+p piloting that he neglected their age. In addition, their development was indeed better than their peers and he neglected their age.
12 to 13-year-old children suddenly faced a desperate situation and had no family with them. In a place that was completely foreign and filled with all sorts of dangers, it was indeed easy for them to break down. Their choice just now was barely acceptable.
Furthermore, the strength they displayed when they were fighting against the Black Fang implant store was truly shocking!
At least in Deng Bo’s memory, he had never seen a child of this age display such strength. They were able to win against two Two-Word Battle Armor Masters and Soul Sages, and even destroyed four mechas. They were so ruthless that even the store exploded. The entire Black Horn Plaza was in chaos. It had to be said that the strength they displayed was truly valiant.
The strongest little girl was already at the level of a six-ring Soul Emperor. She was truly a prodigy of Shrek Academy. It was reasonable for her to be a.s.signed such a mission. Other than her immature nature, she was truly flawless.
“Now I understand why your academy wants all of you to carry out this sort of mission. It is mainly to strengthen your ability to survive. Battle power is one aspect, and survival ability is also very important,” Deng Bo said earnestly.
Lan Xuanyu sighed softly and said, “We understand. But the final exam this time is simply too difficult and impossible to complete. How can we possibly return to the academy within 10 days? There’s no other way. We don’t even have enough time to find a wars.h.i.+p, let alone fly back.”
Deng Bo chuckled and said, “Your academy is deliberately making things difficult for you guys. I came here this time to settle some matters, so they invited me to bring you guys over. At the same time, I wanted you to learn how to pilot a wars.h.i.+p and experience dangerous places. In fact, as long as you guys survived here safely for five days, I would have come looking for you guys to bring you back.”
He had actually been observing and protecting Lan Xuanyu’s team from the shadows. They were all elites from Shrek Academy, so how could he possibly ignore them! Who could bear the responsibility if they were in danger?
He wasn’t around when Lan Xuanyu and his team were getting Heaven Coins because he had secretly placed a locator on Lan Xuanyu’s team. When they arrived at the Black Fang store, Deng Bo rushed over to observe what they were doing.
Then, he saw Fatty Jin valiantly pus.h.i.+ng back a cyborg. The seven little guys entered the store and even came out to test the firepower of a weapon. Then, for some reason, they started fighting. That battle left Deng Bo dumbstruck! He simply couldn’t believe that a group of 12-year-olds could do this.
But seeing that they had made a big deal out of it, he couldn’t just ignore it, so he stepped in and saved them.
“So that’s how it is! That’s great. Team leader, you have to praise us when we get back! We didn’t want to do that either, but didn’t you say that the implant store there is the richest, so… why don’t we survive for a few more days and you can then bring us back?” Lan Xuanyu said in embarra.s.sment.
Deng Bo sighed and said, “Alright, we’ll talk when we get back. I don’t dare to let you kids act alone anymore. Also, after creating such a big mess, do you think it’s already over? You guys will definitely be wanted by Black Horn City or even the entire Heaven Planet. I will bring you guys back to the Mother Planet as soon as possible and hand you guys over to the academy. As for the test results, I will tell the academy the truth about your performance. How much you guys get will be up to the academy.”
Lan Xuanyu nodded dejectedly and said, “Alright, I’ll have to trouble you then.” With that said, he didn’t speak anymore and leaned back in his chair as though he was resting.
What Deng Bo didn’t notice was that the other six people seated at the back didn’t say a word, especially Liu Feng. He kept looking out of the window and didn’t look in his direction.
They drove along the main road for half an hour before going through the streets and into a small courtyard.
The gate closed and a faint energy fluctuation appeared above the small courtyard. It was similar to the isolation energy released by the car and was clearly able to isolate everything.
Deng Bo got out of the car and gestured for Lan Xuanyu and the rest to get off as well.
Lan Xuanyu got off the soul car and looked around.
This courtyard wasn’t big and was only big enough to accommodate two soul cars. There was a small two-story building in the courtyard that looked very simple and unadorned. It was made of stone.
“Come in.” Deng Bo waved at them.
Lan Xuanyu and the rest quickly followed him into the house.
There was no one else in the house, and the furniture was very simple, looking like an ordinary family.
“This is our Tang Sect’s place. Don’t worry, although this place looks ordinary, it has the best isolation system. Even the satellites can’t detect any changes here. Let’s rest here for a day and wait for the sound of the wind to stabilize before returning to the wars.h.i.+p,” Deng Bo said.
Lan Xuanyu looked around and asked, “Commander, are you the only one staying here?”
“En, this is a temporary base, whoever has something to do can stay here. We will be the only ones here for the time being. There are rooms upstairs, you guys can go and choose later,” Deng Bo said.
Lan Xuanyu said, “Team leader, will we be in trouble when we leave? Will we be discovered?”
Deng Bo rolled his eyes and said, “You’re starting to worry now. What about when you were busy fighting ? Why didn’t you think about this? Don’t worry, it’ll be fine. Our car has a s.h.i.+elding system that will help us until we’re out of the city and reach the edge of the forest. There won’t be any scanners inside the forest. The forest here has a magnetic field produced by a large amount of life energy. Any detection will be blocked.”
Lan Xuanyu was enlightened. “I see. We can rest a.s.sured then. Team leader, we actually made some special discoveries when we went to Black Fang implant store today.”
Deng Bo had already sat down on the chair and asked curiously, “What special discoveries ?”
Lan Xuanyu walked to his side, lowered his head, and whispered into his ear. “ROARRRRR.”
A golden dragon head shadow charged out almost instantly and enveloped Deng Bo’s entire head.
In that instant, Deng Bo felt that he lost his hearing and his entire head went blank.
He never thought that Lan Xuanyu would actually ambush him. The Golden Dragon Roar was executed at such a close distance. No matter how strong Deng Bo’s cultivation was, he couldn’t block it at all.
At the same time that he let out the Golden Dragon Roar, Lan Xuanyu grabbed Deng Bo’s shoulders with both hands. The golden-patterned Blue Silver Gra.s.s and silver-patterned Blue Silver Gra.s.s surged out crazily, and his bloodline power was released, turning into a gold and silver vortex that drilled into his body and paralyzed Deng Bo’s bloodline.
Five-colored light flickered as Tang Yuge arrived in front of Deng Bo like a bolt of lightning. The Five Elements Divine Light blossomed and her palm landed on Deng Bo’s dantian. It erased the soul power fluctuation that Deng Bo’s body instinctively produced.
Without any soul power fluctuation and mobilization of his bloodline power, it meant that he could not release his Battle Armor.
