He was no longer a confused six-year-old child, but he still felt that his situation was quite strange. Why was it that others headed over to the Spirit PaG.o.da to buy the Spirit Soul to increase their Soul Ring, while his first Soul Ring appeared on its own? He asked Lan Xiao and Nan Cheng this question but they didn’t know either.

So he was actually very curious about the circ.u.mstances surrounding how he got another ring. Would he get it directly when he broke through to the second ring? If so, what Soul Skill would it give him?

There were simply too many things to look forward to during the trip to Heaven Dou Planet, not to mention the chance to finally see Teacher Nana.

When he thought of Nana, an inexplicable warmth surfaced in his heart, and he felt very eager to jump into her embrace.

A masked figure came to the economy cla.s.s cabin without a sound and stood at the aisle near the cabin entrance, looking at Lan Xuanyu, who had his eyes shut and was meditating.

His gaze was slightly dazed, and a tinge of warmth surfaced from time to time. However, there were also times where it showed a deep, thoughtful look, and it changed frequently.

Three days went by in a blink of an eye. The s.p.a.cecraft was still flying at high speed in the cosmos. Compared to the vast universe, a s.p.a.cecraft like this was simply too tiny.

Lan Xuanyu slowly awoke from his meditation and felt that his stomach was bloated. Wanting to go to the toilet, he quickly unbuckled his safety belt and stood up.

The toilet in the economy cla.s.s cabin was right at the front. Lan Xuanyu closed the toilet door and relieved himself in the cramped toilet.

“Phew,” he heaved a sigh of relief, and just when he was about to return to his seat, a shrilling alarm rang.

The alarm came too suddenly and gave Lan Xuanyu a fright. He quickly held onto the wall next to him, confused, for he didn’t know what happened.

‘What’s going on?’

‘An alarm on the s.p.a.cecraft? Could it be that the s.p.a.cecraft malfunctioned?’

“Attention please, attention please. We have encountered an interception from an unknown s.p.a.cecraft. Everyone please remain seated, and for safety reasons, your seatbelts will be forcefully buckled until the problem is resolved. Please do not panic and kindly remain seated.”

Lan Xuanyu was frightened and didn’t dare to open the toilet door.

‘Encountered an interception from an unknown s.p.a.cecraft? What is happening?’

The universe was vast and there were simply too many possibilities for being intercepted halfway. Could it be one of those s.p.a.ce sc.u.ms, like s.p.a.ce pirates, that Master mentioned before? They couldn’t be that unlucky, right?

The moment he thought of s.p.a.ce pirates, Lan Xuanyu’s heart clenched. He remembered Yin Tianfan mentioning that s.p.a.ce pirates were best at robbing, kidnapping, and extortion.

However, their usual targets were commercial crafts because they were more profitable compared to civilian s.p.a.cecrafts like this, which wasn’t very profitable.

“s.p.a.ce pirates, oh G.o.d! How did we b.u.mp into s.p.a.ce pirates?”

Lan Xuanyu heard the panicking voices coming from outside of the toilet door, and it sounded like a conversation between the flight attendants.

“Who knows! Five miniature s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps, eh. Although they are small-scaled, a civilian s.p.a.cecraft like ours won’t be able to deal with them!”

“Don’t we have a s.p.a.ce wars.h.i.+p with us? Could we block them off?”

“Are you kidding? How could a s.p.a.ce wars.h.i.+p deal with five meteorite-cla.s.s surveillance s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps? We would need an ace pilot in order for that to be possible. Unfortunately, we don’t have a pilot with us this time; who knew that a civilian s.p.a.cecraft like ours would b.u.mp into these scary chaps.”

“Boom——”

The entire s.p.a.cecraft shook violently, all of a sudden.

“Oh G.o.d, they’re attacking! They are not doing it for extortion; they are trying to kill us! Why are they doing this? This is too scary. I’m afraid the protective s.h.i.+eld won’t last for long, right? We’re doomed, we’re doomed! I’m not married yet, eh, I don’t want to die!”

There were cries resounding outside.

The s.p.a.ce pirates had started attacking, and there were five miniature meteorite-cla.s.s surveillance s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps. They didn’t have the intention to hold anyone ransom but simply wanted to kill.

This was the current situation Lan Xuanyu summed up from their conversation, and there was no doubt that this was a desperate situation. The only thing that stirred up Lan Xuanyu was that there was actually a s.p.a.ce wars.h.i.+p in the civilian s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p. However, there wasn’t a pilot.

“Boom, boom, boom!” The entire s.p.a.cecraft shook fiercely and the piercing alarm comtinued to resound non-stop.

Three years of learning in the Elite Junior Cla.s.s had not only increased Lan Xuanyu’s strength, but also developed a will that surpa.s.sed people his age. Yin Tianfan always emphasized in his teachings that no matter what adversity he was facing, he must first remain calm, almost to the point where he was unfeeling. Panic would never solve any problem. He must calm down and use the most rational way to deal with the issue—this was the best choice.

In the luxurious 1st-cla.s.s cabin.

Seized with panic, Le Qingling grabbed onto Tang Le’s arm tightly. “What should we do? s.p.a.ce pirates, they’re actually s.p.a.ce pirates! What do we do? I don’t want to die, I’m not married yet, I don’t wanna die!”

Tang Le looked on helplessly at her trembling. “It’ll be fine, we will be alright. Don’t we have bodyguards? They should be Mecha Masters. Mechas can also battle in s.p.a.ce. Get them to contact the s.p.a.cecraft quickly and attack immediately.”

“Oh, oh, right, right.”

When Le Qingling went to find the bodyguards, those professional bodyguards had already launched an operation and contacted the crew onboard the s.p.a.cecraft.

Everyone knew how brutal those s.p.a.ce pirates were and they could only fight at this moment. Otherwise, they would all die.

“Tang Le, I’m so scared!” Le Qingling looked at him pitifully.

Tang Le rubbed her head. “Don’t be afraid, we will be fine.”

Le Qingling looked at him nervously and said, “Tang Le, I’ve always had a question for you. Do you like me? We’ve been together for so many years, have you ever liked me before?”

Tang Le was stunned for a moment but then smiled. “Of course, I do. You’re my savior! I’ve always treated you as my little sister. Don’t worry, we will be fine. I will protect you.”

“Little sister! Who wants…”

“Boom——” The s.p.a.cecraft shook violently again.

“Ah——” Le Qingling screamed.

Lan Xuanyu pushed the toilet door open and charged outside. On the makes.h.i.+ft seats next to the toilet, two flight attendants were trembling in their seatbelts.

Lan Xuanyu jogged over to them and unbuckled one of the flight attendants’ seatbelts. He said urgently, “I am an Interplanet Command System student from Heaven Luo Academy, and I major in s.p.a.ce wars.h.i.+p piloting. Quick, bring me to the wars.h.i.+p on the s.p.a.cecraft.”

“Ah? You?” The flight attendant hadn’t spoken yet before Lan Xuanyu was already pulling her.

At this moment, the doors at the bottom of the s.p.a.cecraft opened and over ten figures sprang out. There were eight purple mechas and four yellow mechas; the purple mechas were Tang Le’s bodyguards and the yellow mechas were the security personnel of the civilian s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p.

The biggest difference between a mecha and a s.p.a.ce wars.h.i.+p was that mechas couldn’t battle for a long period of time in the cosmos, only for short periods. However, they didn’t have any other choice now. The s.p.a.ce pirates had immediately launched a full-scale attack and their motive was very clear—they simply wanted to destroy the s.p.a.cecraft. n.o.body could escape, and they would die if they didn’t retaliate!
