Chapter 1058: Chapter 1058: Wherever You Are, We Are There!

“Through some missions I’ve undertaken recently, I’ve found some opportunities that might provide us all with more cultivation resources and allow us to grow together. Let us, the Thirty-Three Skywing, remain united as a whole. I’m not going to say any of that pretentious stuff about anyone who doesn’t want to be part of this collective being free to leave. What I can tell you is, follow me, and I’ll lead you to divinity.”

When Lan Xuanyu said the last sentence, he couldn’t help but laugh first.

“Long live the class president!” Ding Zhuohan was the first to shout.

The atmosphere instantly heated up, and everyone’s gaze upon Lan Xuanyu turned exceptionally fervent.

They had been together for six years, growing from adolescents into young adults, and whether it was as their class president, team captain, or even their lead wing, Lan Xuanyu’s words had never been empty. He would never make promises that he wasn’t certain he could fulfil.

Although they didn’t know what had happened to Lan Xuanyu, once he said he would lead them to divinity, they understood that he must be confident in his statement.

“Class president, you just tell us what to do,” Jiayu said.

Lan Xuanyu replied, “For now, you don’t need to do anything. Focus on cultivating and improve your cultivation. Don’t rush for the Three-Word Battle Armor. I’ll prepare more for everyone and forge better ones for you. Once the year-long military training is over, return to Eternal Sky City. I’ve just visited the academy, and with our contributions to the academy, everyone will be able to cultivate in the Inner Court without anyone else being able to find fault.”

“I have a suggestion,” Bing Tianliang suddenly raised his hand and said.

Lan Xuanyu looked at him, “Go ahead.”

Bing Tianliang said, “Class president, if I understand you correctly, after a year, we’ll return to the academy. But you might not necessarily return with us, right?”

Lan Xuanyu nodded, “Due to military secrecy, there are some things I can’t divulge. But staying here will allow us to bring back more cultivation resources for everyone.”

Bing Tianliang said, “I understand. But, class president, we all don’t want something for nothing. Actually, we have discussed this privately numerous times. Over the years, everything you’ve done for us has not gone unnoticed. It’s always been you making sacrifices for us, and we haven’t really done anything for you. We all feel guilty and even anxious about this. We don’t want to be parasites, but rather your true partners. And also…”

He was speaking when Ding Zhuohan, standing next to him, took over, “Class president, wherever you are, that’s where we’ll be. If you’re on the front lines, we’ll be on the front lines. If you go back to Shrek, we’ll go back to Shrek.”

“Yes, class president, wherever you are, that’s where we’ll be,” everyone said, looking at Lan Xuanyu with a firm gaze, expressing their own sentiments.

Lin Donghui, who rarely spoke up, said, “They’re right, class president, we all hope we can help you.”

Without a doubt, the growth of the Thirty-Three Skywing was inextricable from Lan Xuanyu’s contribution, and everyone had witnessed his dedication. But they were also outstanding students of Shrek Academy; no one wanted to be beneficiaries forever. They equally hoped to be able to do something for Lan Xuanyu.

Lan Xuanyu, looking at the passionate gaze of his companions, felt warmth and was moved inside. He took a deep breath and said, “Alright, then we’ll always be together. Currently, we’re on a mission to infiltrate Sky Dragon Planet. Once we’re able to stabilize our position there, we’ll bring everyone to Sky Dragon Planet. Let’s strive together. The seven of us will be setting off soon, Meng Qin, distribute something to everyone.”

The items he spoke of came from the Land of Immortal Spirits, fruits produced by plant-based entities that were over a hundred thousand years old. While these fruits could not be compared to the entities themselves, they still contained vast energy and were even more suited for direct consumption and absorption by them.

By matching the fruits with each person’s physical traits, the benefits they received would be substantial. Normally, hundred thousand-year-old plant entities would never give away such items, as they constituted part of their life force–giving them away meant surrendering a portion of their life energy. But with the Treasure Hunting Beast and Lan Xuanyu, plus the opportunity this trip to Sky Dragon Planet presented, they naturally wouldn’t be stingy. This was how these wonderful items came into existence.

Every member, except for Lan Xuanyu himself, had a share in this. The primary reason Lan Xuanyu didn’t partake was that he had absorbed the God-level Life Essence from the Eternal Tree and was still unable to digest it fully.

After settling his companions, Lan Xuanyu and his seven teammates no longer delayed their departure, immediately setting off in their Thirty-Three Skywing Warship and quietly left Dragon Three, heading straight in the direction of Sky Dragon Planet.

To coordinate with his actions, the federal fleet had withdrawn to the edge of the Dragon Horse Star System, but the Seventh Fleet remained stationed at the location nearest to Sky Dragon Planet.

Returning to Sky Dragon Planet, Lan Xuanyu’s identity had changed drastically. As a level 8 Sky Fighter, he could now mobilize warships to support them at any time. He could also call upon many resources of the federation. Even large-scale weapons of mass destruction were now under his authority.

For Sky Dragon Planet, Lan Xuanyu didn’t really want to bomb it. Its abundant resources had not been developed or utilized much yet. If Sky Dragon Planet could belong to humans in the future, that would be the most perfect scenario. The planet’s greatest resource was the planet itself.

Three days later, on the Thirty-Three Skywing Warship, Lan Xuanyu once again beheld that beautiful and enormous planet.

Arriving at the outer space around Sky Dragon Planet, he instantly felt a sense of familiarity.

The warships of the Sky Domination Clan were nowhere to be seen; it was unknown what agreement they had reached with Sky Dragon Planet. In any case, there seemed to be no more standoffs.

Sky Dragon Planet seemed much more peaceful than the last time he was here, and there were no obvious signs of any warships stationed around.

Lan Xuanyu controlled the Thirty-Three Skywing Warship to hover in space, maintaining a silent state.

This time, before leaving the Mother Planet, Tang Sect had informed him that upon his next return, the Thirty-Three Skywing Warship could undergo an upgrade–a comprehensive upgrade that would make the warship even more powerful.

“Prepare to set off,” Lan Xuanyu said as he stepped down from the main control seat. Everyone unbuckled their safety belts and gathered beside him.

They checked themselves, leaving behind anything on the warship that might reveal their human identities. Then they proceeded to the rear cargo compartment and boarded their respective Skywing Mechas.

The rear cargo bay doors opened, and the seven of them exited one by one. Once in space, they quickly transformed into Skywing Warplanes and formed a squadron, flying directly towards Sky Dragon Planet.

The Treasure Hunting Beast’s Illusion Ability was activated, enveloping all seven Skywing Fighters, along with the fighters’ own stealth capabilities. Soon, they disappeared silently into space.

Entering the atmosphere, they slowed down. The Treasure Hunting Beast’s Illusion Ability was fully deployed, covering the seven Skywing Fighters without a trace. As the fighters lightly pierced through the atmosphere, they were inside it. Through the air exchange system, they felt the life breath of Sky Dragon Planet once again.

Lan Xuanyu piloted the fighter towards Fenglong City with extra caution.

This time he was particularly careful. The divine consciousness of the Treasure Hunting Beast was activated to its peak to protect them at great cost.

By now, the powerful beings of Sky Dragon Planet ought to have returned, including the Super God-level powerhouses. According to the news from the academy, there were at least four Super God-level powerhouses in the Dragon Horse Star System. This was a terrifying number. The exact number on Sky Dragon Planet was unknown. However, given the Life Force of Sky Dragon Planet and Sky Horse Star, it was apparent that these Super God-level powerhouses must be residing on these two planets.

Therefore, one can never be too careful. Of course, unless they were unlucky enough to bump into an Ultra Divine-strong being, none of the top powerhouses would be scanning the airspace with their divine consciousness at all times.
