Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

636 – Second Confirmation

“Are you guys dumb? We don’t even know what the mission is yet. If it’s an individual mission, how am I going to bring anyone ? Let’s hear what Teacher has to say first,” Lan Xuanyu said helplessly.

At this moment, almost all the students in the class were looking at him with fervent gazes. Who was he going to agree to? They would see what happened first.

Just then, Xiao Qi walked in from the outside. Seeing the teacher enter, everyone quickly returned to their seats.

Xiao Qi saw Lan Xuanyu at first glance and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes. His cultivation was naturally much stronger than the students and he could see the change in Lan Xuanyu’s temperament at a glance. It was obvious that he had broken through. He had finally broken through? Although he didn’t say anything about Lan Xuanyu’s three-ring cultivation, he was still somewhat worried.

“Class is about to begin,” Lan Xuanyu shouted.

“Hello, Teacher.”

“En, hello everyone for this new term, please take a seat,” Xiao Qi said.

Everyone sat down. Other than the unreliable Qian Lei and Liu Feng, the entire class was full.

Xiao Qi said, “Other than Liu Feng and Qian Lei, everyone else is here. This time, you guys have had your longest time to rest because you should know why. Next, you guys will have to face your most important period of time in the Outer Court, and it is also the most dangerous one. According to the academy’s rules, mandatory missions will last for a year. This term and the first term of the fifth-year, you guys will have to carry out missions. After that, you guys can choose to go on a mission or stay in the academy to study and cultivate.”

“During the Outer Court classes, the real learning time is in the first three years. The next three years are focused on actual combat and self-training. So, in the first term of the fourth year, you were supposed to carry out mandatory missions. But because our class is the Star War Experimental Class, you guys have to learn much more than ordinary classes, so it was delayed. But this doesn’t mean that our class has special privileges. On the contrary, the missions arranged for you guys will be richer than the other years, and there might even be missions that involve Star Wars.”

“All of you should know about the situation by now, but I will still be try to be as specific as possible.” At this point, Xiao Qi paused and his expression turned grave.

As the teacher-in-charge, he knew very well how important actual combat experience was for these students. They had to go carry out missions, one was for the price they had to pay after obtaining cultivation resources from the academy. At the same time, it was also to test the potential, talent, and temperament of these youths. It was what Shrek Academy had been upholding for many years.

No one was an exception. The most outstanding students would stand out during this year and would truly be recognized by the academy.

Even Lan Xuanyu, who was already internally designated as an Inner Court disciple, would not be able to enter the Inner Court if he did not perform well during the mission, especially if there was a problem with his temperament. If there was a big mistake, even the School of Life would not be able to protect him.

That was why Xiao Qi was especially serious. He was in the Star War Experimental Class and he hoped that the class he was in would have more students entering the Inner Court in the future. But before this most important hope, there was another basic requirement—all the children had to be safe.

“Following the advancement of technology, the Federation had begun its rapid development 10,000 years ago. At that time, the Mother Planet was already unable to bear the speed of our development. We demanded too much from the Mother Planet, causing it to be unable to bear the burden. After that, the Mother Planet evolved after devouring the Abyssal Plane that attacked us. But at that time, the entire human race realized that if they didn’t think of a way out, the Mother Planet would collapse one day even after evolving. So, from then on, the Federation invested a huge sum of money and began the journey to space.”

“The development of spacecrafts began to accelerate along with the successful development of the Positive Circulation Source Soul Core. It allowed us to use rare metals as fuel and produce a large amount of energy, which resulted in our current spacecrafts. After thousands of years, we continued to develop outward and look for planets that are suitable for us humans to live on to truly colonize space.”

“The most difficult times were at the initial stage. Be it technology or colonization, it was very difficult. After the colonization of the first administrative planet, our speed gradually increased. Finally, it developed to the current scale of the Federation.”

“Currently, the Federation has seven Space Fleets. Other than the First Fleet stationed at the base of a small planet near the Mother Planet, the other fleets are outside. The citizens don’t know what these fleets are doing, and in fact, it is thanks to their protection that the citizens of the Federation can live in peace.”

“The Federation has always kept it a secret that other than the humans of the federation, there are actually countless races in the entire universe. We aren’t the only ones that can give birth to life. On many other suitable planets life can also be born. And these planets have all sorts of strange races.”

“For the survival of mankind, we play the role of invaders, but we also play the role of protectors. If we want to develop, we need more resources, and we need to find those planets that are suitable for our survival. And these planets are not all like the Elven planet that can be resolved peacefully, nor do they lack the ability to resist.”

“Some pacifists will think that our invasion is immoral. But in the universe, survival is the most important. Many races have developed faster than us. If we allow them to develop, especially those aggressive races, they will definitely become a huge threat to the Federation. Those who are not of our race will definitely have different thoughts. In the thousands of years of history of interstellar colonization, we have encountered at least four major crises that could overturn the Federation. And in these crises, in order to prevent the citizens from panicking, they were unaware of it. But there were countless heroes who spilled their blood to fight against strong enemies. Our Shrek Academy, the Tang Sect, the War God Temple, and the Spirit Pagoda played a huge role in these battles.”

“Not all battles can be resolved in the universe. Many times, a strong individual’s combat power is more important, especially when carrying out missions on the surface of some planets. The reason why our Shrek Academy enrolls so few students is to groom true elites. When the Federation and all of mankind needs them, they can appear in the most important places. And each of you is a reserve force.”

“When you first enrolled in the academy, I asked all of you if you were willing to contribute to the Federation. Your answer was yes at that time, but perhaps you were still immature at that time. Now, I will ask all of you again if you are willing to carry out these missions that are very likely to be dangerous. Also, there is a possibility that you will carry them out again in the future. All of you can still choose to refuse. If you refuse, you will be transferred to an ordinary soul master academy to continue attending school. In such a future, you can decide your own fate. And if all of you are sure that you want to continue, then most of the time, your safety will depend on yourselves. Children, please choose carefully. Even if you choose to refuse, the academy will not blame you. This is your right.”

At this point, Xiao Qi remained silent and looked at his students calmly.
