Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

902 – Ready To Depart
TL: BluVerse

He spent more than an hour elaborating on over ten missions.

“That’s the situation. Do you have any suggestions, teachers?” After Lan Xuanyu finished, he turned to Xiao Qi and Tang Zhenhua.

Xiao Qi said, “Your analysis is thorough, and I have no objections. I agree with your selection.”

“Agreed,” Tang Zhenhua concisely added.

Lan Xuanyu nodded and turned to his classmates, saying, “We’re all in this together. Feel free to share your thoughts and opinions. Let’s have a discussion first. We need to decide whether to choose from the three missions I’ve filtered, and anyone with different opinions can voice them.”

“No objection, Captain, you decide, why bother with three missions? You make a decision, and we’ll follow. It’s less of a hassle for us,” Ding Zhuohan said nonchalantly.

Lan Xuanyu replied sarcastically, “You can only represent yourself, not everyone.”

Ding Zhuohan laughed, “I can’t represent them, but you can, right? What do you guys say?”

“Right!” echoed everyone simultaneously, without any dissent.

This was unity and, more importantly, trust. The Thirty-Three Wings had reached this point today due to this fundamental reason. Over six years, Lan Xuanyu’s contributions to the class were evident. Without him, at least one in three people in the class wouldn’t have graduated.

Many of them would have been satisfied just to graduate from the Outer Court. All of this was achieved under the leadership of Lan Xuanyu. Therefore, his prestige in the class even surpassed that of the two teachers.

It was the result of numerous trials and the accumulation of selfless efforts. Despite having the fewest soul rings in the class, Lan Xuanyu had the respect of every single person.

Entering Shrek Academy, every one of them was a prodigy. People like Ding Zhuohan were all outstanding youths with their own personalities. Yet, in the end, they all admired and respected him. This was earned.

Lan Xuanyu asked twice more, and with no objections, he reluctantly resorted to distributing anonymous ballots, allowing everyone to choose from the three missions he had filtered.

Soon, the votes were collected. Lan Xuanyu began counting. In the end, one mission out of the three was selected with twenty-six votes.

Looking at the mission that was ultimately chosen, a smile appeared on Lan Xuanyu’s face. In fact, this was the one he favored the most.

Level 5 Fighter Team mission: Dragon Source Exploration.

Mission Description: The mission involved traveling to Dragon Source Planet to explore the mysteries deep within. Despite the continuous development by the Federation, the number of Source Dragons on Dragon Source Planet remained undiminished. In the depths of Dragon Source Planet, powerful Source Dragons existed. However, some exploration teams composed of strong individuals disappeared mysteriously during several explorations. It seemed that there was a hidden secret in the depths of Dragon Source Planet. Exploring this secret became an important mission for the Federation, assigned to the Sky Fighters. Sixteen batches of Sky Fighters had already gone for exploration, with five batches missing and eleven returning without any harvest. The completion level of the mission was calculated based on the degree of exploration and the extent of discovering the secret. Hunting Source Dragons also contributed to the mission completion. Killing a Level 9 Source Dragon, and delivering its Dragon Source Crystal, was considered equivalent to completing the mission.

Yes, this mission was to go to a familiar place. It was the same place where they first started executing Sky Fighter missions – Dragon Source Planet!

The Dragon Source Crystals produced by the Source Dragons on Dragon Source Planet had become an important energy resource for the Federation. Their previous missions on Dragon Source Planet had brought great gains to the Thirty-Three Wings when they first entered the Sky Fighters world.

The main reasons for choosing this mission were several. First, they were relatively familiar with Dragon Source Planet and had experience fighting Source Dragons, familiar with the conditions of Source Dragons.

Second, although the main purpose of this mission was exploration, there was also the possibility of indirectly completing the mission – hunting Source Dragons. Back then, they could already hunt Level 7 Source Dragons, and now, with much stronger abilities and Thirty-Three Sky Wings Mechas, along with Lan Xuanyu’s Emerald Demon Warship and Tang Yuge’s Heavenly Qilin, all targeting the formidable abilities of Source Dragons, the threat from Dragon Source Planet to them was relatively small, ensuring higher safety.

Lastly, and most importantly, the accumulation of merit points. The mission clearly stated that killing Source Dragons to obtain Dragon Source Crystals could increase the mission level and earn points. While hunting ordinary Source Dragons might not have significantly increased the mission level, hunting Level 7 or higher Source Dragons was different. The Dragon Source Crystals from higher-level Source Dragons were very pure and contained immense energy. If they could accumulate enough, it would undoubtedly raise their mission level. This was what Lan Xuanyu valued most.

Although it might not have reached the height of a Level 5 Fighter mission, no matter how much they accumulated, it was probably the only way to accumulate. The specific level of accumulation needed to be assessed. What if the exploration mission was completed along with hunting Level 9 Source Dragons? How much could the mission level be increased?

Therefore, when Lan Xuanyu first laid eyes on this mission, he had already set his sights on it in his heart. This was now the most suitable for them.

As expected, the majority of people also shared the same idea. The final exam content for the Star Battle Experimental Class was decided!

Departure was in four days!

Before departure, they naturally had to do some preparation work. Four days were sufficient.

“Alright, that’s the decision. Everyone, go back and prepare individually. I will use all the class funds for unified preparation work. It’s estimated that we’ll spend all the class funds,” Lan Xuanyu said.

The people below immediately burst into laughter, but within the smiles, each person carried a sense of reluctance. Yes, this would be their last mission together in the Outer Court. After graduation, it would be difficult to gather together again.

Because of this, everyone had a strong determination. This time, they must go all out and strive to complete the mission.

“Teacher Xiao, Teacher Tang, do you have any further instructions?” Lan Xuanyu consulted the two teachers. Xiao Qi stood up, came to Lan Xuanyu’s side, looked at the students below, and said in a deep voice, “Six years. You’ve been at Shrek for six years. The final push is here. A Level 5 team Fighter mission is almost equivalent to a Level 6 personal Fighter mission. The difficulty is comparable to all of you facing a god-level powerhouse. So, don’t be careless just because you are familiar with Dragon Source Planet. Every planet has its own mysteries. Students from our academy have died in action during the Dragon Source Planet mission. So, be cautious. Each one of you, come back safely for me.”

Tang Zhenhua also walked over, “Yes, coming back safely is the most important. That’s my only request. Come back safe and sound. Xuanyu, as the class leader, this responsibility falls squarely on you. You should understand what we mean.”

Lan Xuanyu nodded. Of course, he understood that being alive was more important than completing the assessment. This wasn’t a simulation pod but a real combat situation. Although they had experienced real battles before, the difficulty this time was different. He wouldn’t be the slightest bit careless.

Dismissed, get ready!

For this assessment, each person had to make thorough preparations. The academy gave them a month for the assessment. In other words, within a month, they had to accumulate as much merit as possible in this mission and strive to complete the missions as much as possible.

According to previous experiences, they needed to allocate ten days for the round trip, leaving them with approximately twenty days on Dragon Source Planet. The time seemed ample, but if they wanted to exceed expectations and increase the mission level to raise points, it needed to be more. After all, a Level 5 Fighter mission was already very challenging in itself.
