Chapter 93 Departure, Destination: Heaven Dou Royal Academy (2)
"Let's go! Heaven Dou Royal Academy!"
As soon as Director Han finished speaking, he led Qian Yuhan and the others towards the enormous soul-guided spaceship. This spaceship had a unique design, its entire body gleaming with a metallic sheen; it was the same model they had ridden in during their previous outdoor combat exercise. Everyone filed in and placed their belongings in the designated areas. In no time, all the luggage was properly stored.
With a soft rumble, the soul-guided spaceship started up and gradually ascended. Like a lithe bird, it sped northwest, its destination the Heavenly Dou Empire. Sitting inside the spaceship, one could see the scenery rushing past below through the porthole, marveling at the convenience brought by modern technology.
Thanks to the use of advanced soul-guiding technology, the journey to Heaven Dou City by spaceship is extremely fast. It is estimated that it will take only about three hours to arrive smoothly. However, Director Han said, "When we approach the border of the Heaven Dou Empire en route, we will need to make a temporary stop to complete the relevant border crossing procedures."
Time passed unnoticed, and two hours went by in the blink of an eye. The soul-guided spaceship slowly descended and finally landed smoothly on the border of the Heaven Dou Empire. Here lay a city called Yelin City, situated at the border between the Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire. This city was renowned, known as the "First City on the Border." Not only was its geographical location important, but it was also a thriving commercial center with a large population, making it a bustling and vibrant place.
Do not underestimate Yelin City. Although it is far from the central city of the Heaven Dou Empire, it is a mainstay of the Heaven Dou Empire in terms of both strategic location and economic status.
The lantern festival in Yelin City is renowned throughout the entire Douluo Continent, attracting countless visitors every year. A massive soul-guided spaceship slowly docked at the soul-guided spaceship port in Yelin City. As the hatch opened, a group of figures filed out. Leading the way was Director Han Xue, followed by six young people, including Qian Yuhan.
The group followed Director Han Xue to the service hall, which was bustling with activity. Qian Yuhan and her six companions sat quietly in the waiting area, waiting for Han Xue to process their paperwork. However, when Han Xue walked towards them with a serious expression, Qian Yuhan felt a sense of foreboding.
Han Xue approached and said to everyone in a heavy tone, "Children, although the formalities have been completed, an unexpected situation has arisen. Due to some special reasons, there is currently a no-fly zone within the Heavenly Dou Empire, and we were not notified of this beforehand. Therefore, unfortunately, we cannot continue our journey by airship and will have to travel by carriage instead. However, carriages in the Heavenly Dou Empire usually travel in convoys, and the convoy heading to Heavenly Dou City departed this morning, so there are no carriages available for us today. Unfortunately, we will have to rest briefly in Yelin City and set off again tomorrow during the day. Fortunately, there is still some time in the afternoon, so you can explore Yelin City and visit the lantern festival in the evening, but please be sure to pay attention to safety!"
Upon hearing this news, everyone exchanged glances, a hint of disappointment on their faces. At this moment, Tang Xuan asked, "Okay, Director Han, where will we stay tonight?" Han Xue smiled slightly and replied, "Don't worry, I've already inquired. There should be hotels nearby where the lantern festival is being held. Let's go check it out first." With that, she led everyone out of the administration hall and headed towards the lantern festival. Along the way, everyone's feelings were somewhat complicated; they were looking forward to spending a pleasant afternoon and evening in Yelin City, yet also felt somewhat frustrated by the disruption to their journey.
Everyone nodded and followed Director Han out of the affairs hall. Once outside, intending to return to the airship to retrieve their luggage, they arrived at the spaceship docking port and saw a large crowd surrounding their soul-guided spaceship.
The group, unaware of what was happening, continued walking. As they drew nearer, they saw a man pointing at the Spirit Hall Academy emblem on the airship and yelling, "Come look, everyone! This is the Spirit Hall Academy's airship! That lousy academy's airship doesn't even deserve to appear in our Yelin City..."
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces instantly darkened. Qian Yuhan frowned deeply, while Mu Chen, being an impatient person, rolled up his sleeves and was about to go up and beat him up. Fortunately, Fang Ya reacted quickly and pulled Mu Chen back. Even Han Xue's eyes showed considerable anger.
"This lousy academy—hey, you guys over there, what are you doing?! Who are you trying to impress with those sour faces? Did I say something wrong? Last time in the Soul Master Competition, my brother was a key member of Linlong Intermediate Soul Master Academy, and those bastards completely destroyed his meridians! It's infuriating! Anyway, the more I talk about it, the angrier I get. I'm going to get my revenge on those bastards' spaceship." The man noticed Qian Yuhan and the others' expressions and complained angrily.
After hearing what this person said, Qian Yuhan couldn't help but sneer, "Brother, didn't you ever think that you would be arrested for infringing on other people's property if you used your soul skill to destroy this spaceship?"
"Arrested? Hahaha, what a joke—everyone around here knows my name, humph—"
A passerby next to Qian Yuhan whispered in his ear, "Little friend, you're from somewhere else, aren't you? I advise you to keep your mouth shut. This guy is not someone to mess with. Let's just observe from the sidelines. His name is Cain, the son of Gai Yutong, the deputy city lord of Yelin City. You—"
"Brother, I really didn't know!"
passerby: ………
Upon hearing Qian Yuhan's sarcastic tone, Mu Chen almost lost his composure and whispered to Fang Ya, "Fourth Brother is planning to find a reason to make a move."
Fang Ya was a little confused and didn't quite understand what Mu Chen meant when she heard the man angrily shout, "Kid, don't you recognize me?!"
Should I get to know you?
"you--"
"I?"
"Fuck you, Cain..." Cain was also short-tempered, so he directly possessed his martial soul and became a second-ring great soul master, throwing a punch at Qian Yuhan.
Qian Yuhan's lips curled slightly upwards as she calmly said, "Get lost."
Although his words were unremarkable, his aura suddenly surged, and the pressure of the Soul Master was released directly, which sent Cain flying backward and crashing hard into the Soul Guidance Ship. Cain slid down and smashed a large crater in the Soul Guidance Ship.
Qian Yuhan: I...I didn't mean to.
Qian Yuhan turned around awkwardly and glanced at Han Xue. Han Xue shook her head helplessly, smiled bitterly, and didn't say anything.
Just then, the crowd began to disperse, leaving a passage, and the guards walked in formation, surrounding the crowd.
"We received a report from the public that someone is sabotaging someone else's soul-guided airship here. Who is it?"
Seeing the guards arrive, he stood up despite the pain and pointed directly at Qian Yuhan, saying, "Captain Li, this is the kid causing trouble here. Look, they smashed a deep crater into the Spirit Hall Academy's airship..."
After saying that, he moved his body aside, revealing the pit behind him.
"Did you do this?" Captain Li of the guard team asked.
Qian Yuhan did not answer his question directly, but turned to look at Director Han.
“Director Han—” Qian Yuhan said.
Director Han understood immediately and slowly walked up to Qian Yuhan, embracing him...
