53: Chapter 53 Xia Wu Void Ship

On the massive plaza at the foot of Sacred Martial Mountain.

The 1,100 genius students who had qualified to enter the ruins were all present and ready to depart.

When Golden Horn and the other foreign geniuses who had suffered crushing defeats yesterday saw Ning Yuan, an imperceptible trace of wariness flashed in their eyes.

A day had passed.

However, the psychological shadow left by that figure on the arena yesterday, standing like a God of War, had still not dissipated.

Ning Yuan acted as if he didn't see their complex gazes, instead giving them an incredibly kind and bright smile.

However, it was precisely this smile that caused several of the foreign geniuses to shudder in unison, subconsciously averting their eyes.

Golden Horn even lowered his head directly.

But his fists, hidden beneath his sleeves, were already clenched tightly, and his eyes were filled with a sinister intent.

"Just wait! Once I successfully break through to the Transcendent Realm in the ruins this time!"

"I will definitely return the humiliation I suffered yesterday a thousand, ten thousand times over!"

On the other side.

The Yu Ling girl, Yu Ling, was also staring fiercely at Ning Yuan with an extremely complex gaze.

Yesterday, that big foot stamped onto her pretty face had given her nightmares all night long!

She could accept defeat.

But she could not accept failing in such a humiliating manner!

She tugged on the sleeve of her cold and aloof clansman, Yu Wangji, and whispered:

"Brother, once we enter the ruins, you must help me get revenge!"

Yu Wangji merely gave her a faint glance.

"That is your own business."

Within his right pupil, a scene of reincarnation rising and falling flashed by; his heart was already filled with burning anticipation for the ruins.

He had only one goal!

That was to find the supreme opportunity within these ruins that could make his incomplete Reincarnation Immortal Eye truly whole!

As long as he could achieve this, he would soar to the heavens and be invincible among his peers!

He had a premonition that these ruins contained what he needed.

As for that HumanKid named Ning Yuan.

He was indeed quite powerful.

But so what?

A fellow who hadn't even stepped into the Transcendent Realm was simply too far apart from him in cultivation stage.

He couldn't muster much interest.

Seeing this, Yu Ling could only pout her lips in dissatisfaction.

Not far away, after seeing Ning Yuan, Ling Wanhe gave him a gentle smile.

Ning Yuan also chuckled and waved his hand at her.

Although he still hadn't figured out how to make this goddess of the ling clan feel admiration for him,

building a good impression first was certainly not wrong.

Further away, Chai Youpeng of the Three-Eyed God Clan watched this flirtatious scene, his face so dark it looked like it might drip water, his eyes filled with venom.

"You little bitch... just you wait!"

He had already recorded all of this humiliation and hatred under Ling Wanhe's name.

The series of events yesterday had turned him into a complete laughingstock for the entire academy!

He was practically equated with a clown.

While everyone was lost in their own thoughts and whispering amongst themselves,

Boom!

The void ahead suddenly produced a violent fluctuation!

Visible spatial ripples rippled out in all directions!

Immediately after, a massive battleship made entirely of a mysterious silver-white metal, its hull covered in menacing cannon muzzles, slowly squeezed out from the center of those spatial ripples!

Dimensional Ion Main Cannons, Subspace God-Hunter Secondary Cannons, Void Interference Force Fields...

Those menacing weapons, full of sci-fi and violent aesthetics, caused all the students present to feel waves of heart-palpitations!

This was the Great Xia Martial Academy's crowning treasure, the xiawu voidship that had once achieved illustrious military merits on the starry battlefield!

It was said that when this battleship's firepower was at full power, it was enough to suppress and kill a top-tier existence at the Sovereign level on a frontal battlefield!

This was also one of the highest crystallizations of human interstellar technology developed to date!

The reason humanity could rise so rapidly in just ten thousand years and rank fourth among the myriad races

was not just due to powerful martial artists.

Equally important was this powerful technology capable of deterring the sea of stars!

And the source of most of this technology came from the excavation and study of Ancient Ruins, as well as self-development and innovation based upon them.

"This is that xiawu voidship that once blasted and killed the Golden-Eyed Sovereign of the Three-Eyed God Clan in the Golden-Eye Campaign, right? It's so domineering!"

All the human students showed expressions of immense pride when they saw this battleship.

Meanwhile, the faces of Chai Youpeng and several other exchange students from the Three-Eyed God Clan became somewhat unsightly.

But they didn't dare to make any insolent moves.

"All students, board the ship immediately!"

Jiang Baihe's dignified voice came from atop the voidship.

This trip to the ruins was of no small importance.

Therefore, he and Ren Wanlong, the two deans, would personally escort them.

After all, these 1,100 students on the ship could be said to be the very essence of the Great Xia Martial Academy's future and hope, and no mistakes could be allowed.

Hearing this, everyone was incredibly excited.

Ning Yuan's heart also felt a slight sense of wonder.

Although his family also owned several voidships of the same grade,

in terms of the glory of their combat records, they probably couldn't compare to the one before him.

Under the guidance of the instructors, everyone stepped onto the voidship in an orderly fashion.

With a roar!

The massive battleship tore through the void in front of it once again, and the entire ship instantly vanished into subspace, beginning its spatial jump.

The surrounding scenery instantly became brilliantly colored and surreal.

With the cultivation of the students present, except for a few top Prodigys, they simply couldn't clearly perceive the changes in the surrounding space-time.

No one knew how much time had passed.

The voidship let out another violent roar.

"We've arrived."

Ren Wanlong's low voice rang out.

Everyone looked out the portholes and found that the battleship had jumped out of the subspace layer.

This was no longer the sky above Sacred Martial Mountain.

What met their eyes was a majestic river spanning the land like a heavenly river!

The surface of the river was so wide that the horizon was nowhere in sight!

This was the mother river of the Ancestral Star, the Yan River!

"Legend has it that the True Dragons of the ancient era all loved to live near water. According to the deductions of the academy's Ruins Department, the body of this ruin should be a world fragment peeled off from the ancient Dragon Realm, which eventually fell into the depths of our Ancestral Star's Yan River over endless ages. The entrance to the ruins is right above this river."

Jiang Baihe's figure appeared before everyone, explaining to them.

Then, he and Ren Wanlong glanced at each other and simultaneously mobilized the power within their bodies!

In an instant!

Two terrifying pressures belonging to Martial Emperor experts soared into the sky!

The entire void trembled because of it!

Under the guidance of their two powers, an incredibly massive azure vortex slowly emerged above the Yan River.

"All students take orders, enter immediately!"

"You only have fifteen days! Dean Ren and I have left a mark on each of you. Within fifteen days, you only need to resonate with the mark in your body to return to the Ancestral Star through this entrance. But if you exceed the time, the entrance to the ruins will completely close! At that time, you will be forever lost in the endless turbulence of space-time! Remember this! Remember this!"

Jiang Baihe exhorted with utmost seriousness.

Hearing this, everyone's expressions turned solemn as they responded in unison.

This was a matter concerning their own lives; no one dared to be negligent.

Then, under the guidance of the instructors, figures began to dive into the massive vortex one after another, like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

Before entering, Ning Yuan glanced sideways at the distant void.

He could clearly perceive that as the voidship steadied itself, several equally powerful foreign figures were faintly appearing and disappearing in that distant void.

Those should be the Guardians of the foreign geniuses traveling with them.

Normally, they were forbidden from entering the Great Xia Martial Academy.

But at such a critical moment, they would still rush over.

After all, they were also worried that if their own geniuses obtained some incredible harvest within the ruins, they would be forcibly detained by the humans.

Their deliberate arrival served as a silent deterrent and insurance.

Seeing this, Ning Yuan merely sneered and didn't care.

Immediately, his figure also vanished into that azure vortex.

After a bout of dizziness.

When he opened his eyes again, the world before him had completely changed!

This was no longer above the Yan River.

Instead, it was a lush, ancient forest filled with a primitive and desolate aura!

Towering trees rose from the ground, each one hundreds of feet tall!

Their thick trunks were like pillars propping up the heavens!
