Lan Xuanyu had improved in leaps and bounds compared to three years ago when he went giddy from sitting in the s.p.a.ce wars.h.i.+p. Three years later, where he was able to control his own wars.h.i.+p through the simulation pod.

Yin Tianfan had taught him to pilot the s.p.a.ce wars.h.i.+p and imparted knowledge pertaining to a s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p, but had yet to teach him to pilot a s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p.

He had also informed Lan Xuanyu that a s.p.a.ce wars.h.i.+p was a miniature version of a s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p and that many s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps’ styles of combat were developed from s.p.a.ce wars.h.i.+ps. Grasping the basics of piloting a s.p.a.ce wars.h.i.+p well would build up a strong foundation in becoming an excellent s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p commander.

As Lan Xuanyu continued to learn, he began to enjoy riding s.p.a.ce wars.h.i.+ps. But at the moment, he had never truly experienced riding a real s.p.a.ce wars.h.i.+p, only the simulated version in the simulation pod. Yin Tianfan had promised him that at the age of 20, he would let Lan Xuanyu have a real taste of the marvel of s.p.a.ce wars.h.i.+ps and let him pilot one for real.

“Mommy, look. That is Star Luo Mark I Mothers.h.i.+p, she is our Federation’s largest type of mothers.h.i.+p with a length span of 3200 meters––it’s basically a small city. She is equipped with the most advanced soul guidance core response formation. If she is to focus her firepower, she is capable of destroying a planet. So cool!” Lan Xuanyu voiced out excitedly beside Nan Cheng.

Nan Cheng listened on with a smile while Lan Xiao continued to guide their son. “What is that s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p over there? That smaller one.”

“Dad, that is a Mark I Mothers.h.i.+p’s guardian vessel, which are over a thousand meters long, it should be the Dragon King rank guardian vessel. They are also very powerful and are capable of long-distance attacks. An interstellar fleet can only have one star-rated Mothers.h.i.+p, and at most four Dragon King rank guardian vessels. These five s.h.i.+ps form the core strength of the entire fleet.”

“Yes, that is right. It seems like my son will truly become a s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p commander in the future. Daddy will wait for the day that he can board the s.h.i.+p you’re in charge of.” Lan Xiao smiled.

Lan Xuanyu frowned and replied, “Dad, according to the rules of the military, family members are unable to board the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p.”

“Hahaha, son, you’re already enforcing military rules onto yourself already?” Lan Xiao disturbed him. Lan Xuanyu was only twelve and needed to know how much longer it would take to become a s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p commander.

Lan Xuanyu laughed as well. “Teacher said that we must have high standards and strict demands on ourselves. Daddy, I will definitely become a commander.”

Nan Cheng asked, “Xuanyu, tell Mommy. What do you like about s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps?”

Lan Xuanyu replied, “Because s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps are strong! T.V. shows did mention that the interstellar s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps are the Federation’s strongest weapons. Following the advancement of Soul Guidance Technology, a Soul Master’s individual strength is no longer able to influence the battlefield, and the true powerhouse is the interstellar fleets. No matter how strong a Soul Master is, they are unable to withstand the main cannon of a s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p. I want to pilot the strongest and biggest power.”

Lan Xiao held Nan Cheng in his arms and replied, “See how grown up my son is? This is a very far-reaching dream, so if you want to do it, do it to the best of your abilities. Daddy will support you.”

They never thought that in their son’s eye, the reason for wanting to be a s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p pilot was because the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p was the Federation’s strongest weapon. What if it was not? Would he change his mind?

The family of three continued chattering happily and entered the waiting area. After a series of checks, they strolled onto the s.p.a.cecraft with ease. Of course, due to their economic situation, they were the most ordinary of pa.s.sengers.

It was his second time boarding an interstellar flight. Still, from the abundance of knowledge in his three years, Lan Xuanyu was no longer at a loss towards the s.p.a.cecraft. He looked around and out of the window as he thought to himself, that is where the Soul Guidance core response is, that’s the shooter and that’s the main power cabin. En, this civilian s.p.a.cecraft is, in fact, a miniature version of the military’s taotie rank transport s.h.i.+p. En, it should be one-tenth of the size of the original transport s.h.i.+p.

He had not had a real rest in all of the three years, but he felt that it was worth it. The feeling of being able to apply what he learned was nice.

When all the economy cla.s.s pa.s.sengers had boarded the s.p.a.cecraft, one last group of people boarded. Eight tall bodyguards protected a mysterious person in the center, who was covered in a hood and a mask. Even the lady figure beside the figure donned a mask.

They boarded the s.p.a.cecraft quickly and took the lift up all the way to the top floor, where the luxurious 1st cla.s.s cabin was situated.

The luxurious 1st cla.s.s cabin could only be described as astronomical and extravagant, specially furnished and supplied for the rich and powerful. The entire floor had four bedrooms, a customized study, a movie theatre, and a bathroom. There was even a small scale swimming pool; the rooms were extremely lavish.

Le Qingling took down her mask and gestured towards the bodyguards. “All of you can go take a rest.” After entering the luxurious cabin, they naturally had no need to fear being surrounded by fans.

Tang Le took down his mask as well. On this day, he was dressed in full grey leisure well, accentuating his tall and perfect build.

Le Qingling glanced at him and resisted the urge to touch his body. “Take a rest first, I’ll grab a cup of water for you.”

“Alright.” Tang Le nodded.

He sat on the sofa and looked out of the large windows, somewhat out of sorts. But for some reason, the corners of his mouth were slightly curved up.

In time, rumbling noises were heard outside of the s.p.a.cecraft as it gradually took off. The intense gravitational pull caused everyone to stick firmly to their seats.

Compared to before, Lan Xuanyu felt extremely relaxed and free this time. This bit of driving force was simply poles apart from what he had experienced on a daily basis in the s.p.a.ce wars.h.i.+p. It was already considered too stable for him.

The only thought in his head was of when he could command a s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p and soar in the cosmos!

Under Yin Tianfan’s tutelage, he had a clear understanding of the Federation’s military system. In the military, the strongest standing military capability was undoubtedly the Federation’s fleet, and the promotions within the hierarchy were also the most difficult, where one could only progress incrementally.

Firstly, one needed to have sufficient capabilities, as their abilities determined their starting point. The higher their capabilities evaluation, the higher the starting rank. This required a comprehensive inner quality evaluation. To be under Yin Tianfan’s tutelage on s.p.a.ce wars.h.i.+p piloting like Lan Xuanyu was a huge bonus point for the military rank evaluation. An ace pilot could also earn many additional points since the purpose of s.p.a.ce wars.h.i.+ps is to battle in s.p.a.ce. And although they are only miniature versions of s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps, it is still piloting.

Moreover, with the acc.u.mulation of flight time as one flew in s.p.a.ce longer and longer, this represented abundance in experience. In terms of military achievements, the pilot would receive a promotion even faster. Therefore, one could not lack either talent, acc.u.mulation, or luck. It was definitely not an easy dream to want to be a commander of a s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p, especially in the ranks of a Mothers.h.i.+p or Dragon King rank guardian vessel. Even if one was able to become a commander of a lower rank s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p, it meant an immediate climb to becoming an essential figure in the Federation.

I will definitely become a s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p commander, the strongest one at that. Upon thinking about piloting a s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p, Lan Xuanyu’s heart immediately fluttered with excitement.

The carrier they were on took off exceptionally smoothly. Everything immediately became smooth upon breaking through the atmosphere. The speed of the s.p.a.cecraft increased and moved steadily towards their destination.

A s.p.a.ce flight was undoubtedly a very long process. Lan Xuanyu and his family had been to Heaven Dou Planet before, but their current trip was only a 20 days vacation, where 14 days would be inside the s.p.a.cecraft for the round trip. As his excitement slowly dwindled, Lan Xuanyu began immersing himself in a meditative state.

He was at the pinnacle of rank 19 and was close to rank 20. By stabilizing his cultivation, he would naturally breakthrough upon meeting Teacher Nana.
