5: Chapter 5 Airport, Interstellar Train

"You mastered it?" Ye Jianxing, who had been staring closely at the changes, widened his eyes and jumped straight out of his chair.

"Teacher, what's wrong?" Chen Xing opened his eyes.

"You... follow the guidance I just gave you and show me a set of basic fist and leg techniques." Ye Jianxing's expression turned solemn.

"Oh."

Chen Xing got out of bed, stood barefoot on the floor, and reviewed the movements in his mind.

Then, he executed the Light-Speed Punch and Light-Speed Kick. The entire set of movements was fluid, accompanied by flowing light that left trails in the air like the tails of meteors.

*Thump!*

"Huh?"

Chen Xing wasn't paying attention and accidentally kicked the foot of the bed. If he were still an ordinary person, he would definitely be grimacing in pain right now.

But now, the entire bed foot was kicked to pieces, and there was even a flash of golden halo. A piece of wood even smashed through the ceiling, causing large chunks of rubble to fall.

"Holy crap... Luckily, this residential area I chose is old and dilapidated, and no one lives upstairs. Otherwise, calling the police would have been a real headache!" Chen Xing stopped immediately, filled with both shock and joy.

"Wait, I've become this strong?" He looked down at the top of his foot and found no damage at all, not even a hint of pain.

"But how am I going to explain this to the landlord?" Chen Xing scratched his head.

"Don't worry, the Academy will help you with the compensation," Ye Jianxing spoke up, looking at him meaningfully.

"Really? Then thanks." Chen Xing was surprised.

"The hallmark of the Light-Speed Punch and Light-Speed Kick... He really mastered it, and it took him less than an hour?" Ye Jianxing was inwardly shaken to the core.

He knew S-class was ridiculous, and almost every S-class Esper had a strong learning ability, but that was an S-Rank Combat Technique! The previous fastest record in the Academy had taken a full day!

Chen Xing's appearance immediately shattered the record, and the time was even fixed within an hour. This was so absurd that it would be treated as a rumor if it were told to others.

"Could it be that I've picked up a real treasure this time?" Ye Jianxing thought to himself, a hint of a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

To be honest, he didn't really want to teach students at first, but the Dean insisted on pushing one onto him. Once he heard it was an S-class student, he had no reason to refuse.

He never expected such a huge surprise. Not only was the ability Rank high, but even the Comprehension Ability was this powerful!

"This way, the Demon Alliance will surely value him even more. With a gold-medal bodyguard around, there might not be any problems tonight, but tomorrow might be a different story," Ye Jianxing pondered.

"Forget it, I'll go personally."

"Teacher? What's wrong with you?" Seeing Ye Jianxing's strange expression, Chen Xing was somewhat puzzled.

"Cough... It's nothing." Ye Jianxing snapped out of it.

"Teacher, can this be considered mastering it?"

Chen Xing chuckled and gestured in the air, his movements so proficient he didn't look like a novice at all.

In this world, going to any school required taking [Combat Class] to train one's physique and Martial Skills. Chen Xing's usual grades were also in the top tier.

"Um... I suppose so." Ye Jianxing's mouth twitched. This efficiency was so fast he didn't know how to evaluate it; he felt like someone had just flexed on him hard.

*Ahem!* "Alright, you should continue to Cultivate. Don't get arrogant just because you've mastered it; you still need to polish it further." He cleared his throat.

"Understood." Chen Xing nodded and sat back down.

...

This immersive session of Cultivation lasted for twenty hours. By the time he came to his senses, it was already 6:30 in the morning.

Chen Xing sat cross-legged on the bed and exhaled a long breath of turbid air. He felt refreshed and clear-headed, without the slightest bit of fatigue or sleepiness; instead, he felt like going for a morning run.

"This Enlightenment Space is truly useful. My first time practicing had this kind of effect; my entry speed is much faster than others," he thought to himself.

"It's 6:30 already? Time really flies; I didn't feel a thing." Chen Xing got out of bed and went to the living room to drink a glass of cold water.

"Brother Yang?" As soon as he stepped out, he saw Yang Qishan sitting cross-legged in the living room, in a posture similar to his own when he was Cultivating.

"Boss." Yang Qishan immediately stood up, standing straight and formal.

"You've been here all night?" Chen Xing asked.

"Yes." Yang Qishan nodded.

"Cultivating is truly amazing. Sitting all night doesn't even cause back pain; it's really good," Chen Xing laughed.

"Strictly speaking, Cultivation is rest and healing. it digests the toxins in the human body and enhances the good parts. Therefore, practitioners do not need to sleep, with the exception of certain dream-type abilities," Yang Qishan said.

"It's almost seven o'clock. I plan to head out." As Chen Xing spoke, he went back to his room to get his phone and dialed Lin Gong's number.

"Now?"

"Yes, please see if someone can come to pick me up."

"I understand."

Lin Gong hung up the phone without any nonsense or emotion.

By the time Chen Xing had finished dressing, he also received a text message from Lin Gong: Wulian Airport, North Side.

"The airport? I've never been to one in my life." Chen Xing turned his head.

"I know the way," Yang Qishan understood, indicating he knew the route.

"Thanks for the trouble."

...

Wulian City is a large city with a total of four airports, and the one Chen Xing arrived at was the largest among them.

If he were to walk, it would probably take him half a day.

"Sir, vehicles are not allowed into the airport." Yang Qishan was about to drive in when he was stopped by a staff member.

"Alliance authorized." Yang Qishan didn't say much and took out an ID card. It was issued to him by the Alliance Academy to facilitate taking Chen Xing to any location, and it had a time limit.

"Sir, this way please." The staff member's attitude changed immediately, inviting them to the VIP lane and notifying the higher-ups.

...

Chen Xing didn't know what kind of car Yang Qishan was driving, but he could clearly feel that the speed was comparable to a high-speed train. They soon arrived at a section of the airport.

Out of curiosity, he still asked.

"These vehicles are similar to Spiritual Artifacts. Their exterior can withstand missiles, and they can even dive into the sea and turn into submarines," Yang Qishan explained.

"Good stuff. Maybe I should get one later?" Chen Xing thought to himself, though he didn't know if it was expensive.

Then, he turned his gaze back to what was in front of him.

Strangely, what was parked ahead wasn't some airplane, but rather looked more like a... maglev train?

"An Interstellar Train? I didn't expect such a thing to actually exist." Chen Xing was surprised; usually, these could only be seen in wealth-flaunting videos on the internet.

A woman with short black hair wearing a baseball cap and a pencil skirt walked over with large strides, the sound of her high heels hitting the ground crisp and loud.

She walked up to Chen Xing and said with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Chen. I am your private train assistant. My name is Li Qingyi, and I am responsible for your itinerary."

Chen Xing nodded. "Hello. The Alliance has really thought of everything, bothering so many people for just one trip."

Li Qingyi smiled and said, "Boss, it's not just for this one time. I will be responsible for all your future travels."

"Future travels?" Chen Xing was surprised.

"Yes, this Interstellar Train was a gift to you from the Academy. Whenever you use a train for travel in the future, I will be in charge," Li Qingyi explained.

"This entire train is mine?" Chen Xing was stunned.
