137: Chapter 137 Arrival at Pegasus
Half a month later.
Xuanyuan University, Seventh Starport.
A massive interstellar warship, with a sleek, high-tech design and the Xuanyuan University emblem emblazoned on its hull, was floating quietly above the berth.
This warship, named the "Voyager," was one of Xuanyuan University's top-tier flagships specifically designed for long-range interstellar travel.
Today, it would carry the most anticipated freshman representative team in Xuanyuan University's five-hundred-year history to that planet located in the Pegasus constellation.
"Pegasus Star"!
At the warship's boarding gate.
Fifty freshmen, led by Wang Pingan, were standing in neat rows.
After more than half a month of adjustment and preparation.
The aura on each of them had become more refined and powerful than before.
Especially that lazy-looking young man standing at the very front of the team.
Although he still had that appearance of hands in his pockets, as if he hadn't woken up yet.
But the occasional glint of light flashing through his eyes made everyone who met his gaze feel a sense of palpitation.
During this half-month, Wang Pingan had not been a complete "couch potato" as he had claimed.
After fully researching those few new functions, he ultimately couldn't suppress his heart's desire to "become stronger."
Gritting his teeth, he once again splurged two million pay-to-win points!
He forcefully pushed his cultivation realm from Fifth Rank Peak to Sixth-Rank Early Stage!
Sixth-Rank Triple-Jiao Master!
This was a brand-new realm where the level of life leaped once again!
Martial artists who reached this realm could already preliminarily control the "Gate of Triple-Jiao" within their bodies, performing an initial fusion of blood energy, spirit, and life force.
Compared to a Fifth Rank Martial Artist, their strength had undergone a qualitative leap!
They could even fly and fight in the vacuum of space for short periods without relying on any external equipment!
It could be said that starting from the Sixth Rank, a martial artist truly transcended the category of "mortals" and began to step toward the realm of "gods."
And Wang Pingan, in less than three months since enrolling, had already reached a height that countless martial artists could never attain in their entire lives!
Of course, he had hidden all of this very well.
To outsiders, he remained that unfathomable "Fourth Rank Peak."
"Is everyone here?"
The tall figure of Instructor Shi Yan appeared at the other end of the boarding gate.
Following behind him were Teacher Liu Qing and Mentor Murphy, who had already been promoted to "Special Consultant of the Federation Academy of Sciences."
Mentor Murphy had changed into a brand-new, crisp white research uniform today, and his hair was combed meticulously. He looked vigorous and high-spirited.
He completely lacked the appearance of that sloppy, crazy old man from before.
He looked at Wang Pingan, his cloudy old eyes filled with appreciation and gratitude.
He knew that he was able to have this day all thanks to the little monster before him.
"Reporting, Instructor, the Xuanyuan University freshman representative team, all fifty members, are present! Please give instructions!"
Wang Pingan stepped forward and gave a standard military salute to Instructor Shi Yan.
That serious expression made the corner of Instructor Shi Yan's eye twitch again.
It was a real pity this kid didn't become an actor.
"Board the ship!"
Instructor Shi Yan didn't waste words and directly issued the order.
Led by Wang Pingan, the fifty freshmen marched in neat steps and boarded the "Voyager" in sequence.
The interior space of the warship was even more spacious and luxurious than they had imagined.
Each team member had an independent luxury suite equipped with a Cultivation Room and holographic simulation equipment.
This treatment was simply several times better than the dorms they lived in.
"Damn, this is worthy of being a flagship! This is too luxurious!"
"Yeah! I feel like I could live here for the rest of my life!"
Bursts of irrepressible exclamations sounded within the team.
Even Wang Pingan, upon seeing his "Captain's Exclusive Suite," which was over three hundred square meters and even came with a small private garden, couldn't help but silently give a thumbs-up to Xuanyuan University's "wealth and arrogance" in his heart.
The warship slowly sailed away from the starport.
After passing through several space jumps.
About three days later.
An incomparably huge, beautiful planet that presented a dreamy, azure blue color throughout finally appeared outside the porthole.
Pegasus Star!
The capital planet of the Pegasus constellation!
When the warship slowly sailed into the incomparably huge spaceport of Pegasus Star, which could accommodate tens of thousands of starships at the same time.
All the freshmen, including Wang Pingan, were completely shocked by the magnificent scene before them!
Countless starships of various shapes and sizes, like industrious worker bees, shuttled back and forth inside and outside the spaceport.
Further away, one after another, "Sky Cities" floating in space, filled with a sense of technology, emitted brilliant light like treasures left in the human world by gods.
The entire scene was filled with a breathtaking beauty interwoven with science fiction and fantasy.
"Goodness, this place is much more advanced than our Galaxy Star."
Wang Pingan let out a heartfelt exclamation in his heart.
When they walked off the warship and stepped onto the solid ground of the spaceport.
They immediately felt gazes full of scrutiny and provocation coming from all directions.
They saw that on the berths around them, dozens of equally huge and equally gorgeous starships were docked.
On the hull of every starship, there was an emblem, either familiar or strange to them, representing some top force.
"Look! That's the warship of the 'Imperial First Military Academy'! They actually came too!"
"And over there! That's the 'Pantheon Academy'! I heard that the students of their academy are all monsters possessing mythical bloodlines!"
"Hiss... This invitational tournament is truly full of hidden talents!"
The members of Xuanyuan University, looking at the representative teams from various top academic institutions around them whose momentum was not at all weaker than theirs, all revealed a solemn expression on their faces.
