A huge surprise, a battleship for free!

Modu University.

Inside the teaching building.

Second floor.

“Cough, cough!”

Principal Long Zhenyu cleared his throat and continued:

“Regarding this, our Modu University has specialized training courses specifically for battleship pilots. These courses are not simple; they combine the experience of many Seniors and the latest scientific research achievements!”

“In these special trainings, there will be simulations of real zero-gravity environments in space, allowing pilots to adapt in advance to various complex situations in space, such as asteroid fields, cosmic storms, or attacks from the Demon Race.”

Hearing this, Su Bai’s eyes immediately lit up.

If he understood correctly,

According to Principal Long’s words… this special training… included battleship piloting skills training!

He even had the chance to personally pilot a battleship into space!

After glancing at the few people, Long Zhenyu nodded with satisfaction.

Then he continued:

“Another point is the pilot’s own Realm!”

“You must know that we are now in the year 4065, unlike thousands of years ago. Our Blue Star has long entered the Spiritual Qi Resurgence Era!”

“Therefore, the strength of the pilot’s own Realm is actually the biggest determining factor in the safety of piloting a battleship in space!”

“For example, if the pilot of a battleship is a Ninth-rank Awakened One, then even if he fights the Demon Race in space or encounters cosmic meteorites, which leads to his battleship being destroyed, still…”

“With the strength of a Ninth-rank Awakened One, he would at most suffer minor injuries!”

“So, Students, to forge iron, one must be strong oneself!”

After speaking, he glanced at the few people again.

Shangguan Yan nodded silently, indicating understanding.

After a moment of silence, Long Zhenyu suddenly raised his voice:

“Furthermore, this old man has another matter to announce!”

“Previously, this old man received news from Emperor Long Chen of the Great Emperor Pavilion. He said… he would personally gift a battleship to Student Su Bai in his name!”

“However, Emperor Long Chen said it would have to wait until this special training ends!”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present widened their eyes.

They… suspected they had misheard!

What the heck?

The Emperor giving a battleship?

How could that be!

After reacting, Su Bai’s face showed a burst of ecstasy.

He hadn’t expected… that he had just arrived at Modu University… and he had actually… actually just picked up a battleship for free!!!

A battleship!

This was a new strategic weapon loaded with spiritual energy!

He knew that all battleships had one characteristic—

The stronger the Awakened One’s own strength, the stronger the battleship’s attack!

If he had a battleship in his previous life… what Succubus Elder?

A Ninth-rank top Demon Race member?

One shot, and he could blast her into a cripple!

Moreover, battleships had spiritual energy shields, with extremely strong defenses!

Even if attacked, it was highly unlikely anything would happen.

And he certainly wouldn't be instantly killed by a single sword strike!

At the same time, Xia Qingyan also showed a surprised expression.

She was genuinely happy for Su Bai.

Heh!

Su Bai’s battleship… wasn’t that hers?

No difference!

Similarly, Ye Fan, who was beside them, also opened his mouth wide,

His eyes were almost popping out in shock!

He suspected he had misheard!

What the heck?

The Emperor personally gifting Su Bai a battleship???

This was a battleship!

This kind of thing,

He had only seen it on TV and in short videos on Douyin before!

As for him getting one?

That was something he didn’t even dare to dream of!

Why?!

They were all SSS-rank Talent Awakeners… why was it only given to Su Bai… why didn’t he, Ye Fan, get one?!

Why???

It’s unfair!!!

So, he carefully asked:

“Pri… Principal… is what you said true…?”

“What about… us… the rest of us? Do we get one?”

Hearing this, Long Zhenyu shook his head:

“No.”

It was very direct, without any hesitation.

In an instant, Ye Fan was utterly disappointed.

He immediately became emo!

“N-no?”

After repeating it, a sudden surge of jealousy rose in his heart.

He looked at Su Bai with a resentful expression.

He wished he could pin him to the ground and beat him up right now.

Unfortunately… he couldn’t win.

Seeing this, Long Zhenyu smiled and comforted him:

“However, Student Ye Fan, don’t be disheartened!”

“I will make the decision, and after this special training ends…”

“I’ll give each of you an SSS-rank battle armor!”

“So, you must participate in this special training well!”

Before Ye Fan could react, Su Xiaoya eagerly asked:

“Really? Grandpa Principal, does Xiaoya get one too?”

“Xiaoya also really wants a set!”

“I want a set of… very pretty, very pretty battle armor!”

Looking at the excited Loli, Long Zhenyu was momentarily stunned.

A hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

He reached out and stroked Su Xiaoya’s little head, laughing:

“Haha, little Student…”

“For someone of your physique…”

“There isn’t one~”

Hearing this, Su Xiaoya was a little disappointed.

Her eyelids drooped.

She silently retreated behind Xia Qingyan.

At this moment, Shangguan Yan suddenly stepped forward and asked:

“Principal Long… may I ask… why?”

“Why would the Emperor personally gift Student Su Bai a battleship?”

This was a battleship!

As a member of the Shangguan Family, she also really wanted one!

Even in her dreams, she wished to own her own battleship!

She had dreamed countless times—

Dreaming of herself piloting a battleship, traversing the starry Universe… hunting the Demon Race!

Unexpectedly, Long Zhenyu actually shook his head:

“I don’t know.”

“Student Shangguan, I completely understand your feelings!”

“However, we can only obey the decisions made by the Emperor. Perhaps… there are considerations behind this that we are unaware of?”

“Alright, don’t be disheartened!”

“I promise you here!”

“After this special training ends, I will give you SSS-rank battle armor!”

“This SSS-rank battle armor… in terms of individual combat capability…”

“It’s not weaker than a battleship at all!”

Hearing this, Shangguan Yan nodded silently, not speaking.

As a member of the Military God Family,

Others might not know, but how could she not know?

There was a huge difference between this SSS-rank battle armor and a battleship!

The two simply couldn’t be compared!

They were completely different things!

Because—

A pilot could wear battle armor and then pilot a battleship!

Doing so would further enhance combat capabilities!

She always felt… that the SSS-rank battle armor… might have originally been only for Su Bai… and that the few of them were just included as an extra.

Because—

Generally speaking, Su Bai’s Realm was currently low, so even if he obtained a battleship, he still couldn't directly pilot it due to safety concerns.

However, once Su Bai put on the battle armor, it would be different!

Even if his Realm had not yet reached the Seventh-rank,

He could still survive in space by relying on the battle armor!
