As a prince of the royal family, Si Tingfeng had a better understanding of the empire’s situation than Lu Yuan and the others.
“So there are so many dangers around us?”
Lu Yuan had always lived in the slums of Xili city. He was already very satisfied to be able to live, so how could he understand these things?
Now that he heard Si Tingfeng’s words, Lu Yuan felt that the Red Maple Empire was not living a comfortable life.
Si Tingfeng nodded, his expression grave.
“Yes, that’s right. The Empire hopes that there will be more geniuses, the better. In the future, there will be more powerhouses. Who knows, when the time comes, we might be able to completely level the forbidden zones at the two borders, and even suppress all the races on the other side of the space crack.”
He glanced at Lu Yuan and smiled.
“Ah Yuan, with the talent you’ve shown, many people have high hopes for you. Many strong cultivators think that you’ll become a battle god. By then, it’ll be easier for the high-level combatants.”
“I’ll try my best,” Lu Yuan smiled.
As they spoke, all the teachers and students boarded the fighter jet. The fighter jet rose into the air, turned into a stream of light, and disappeared from its original spot. It flew towards the Red Maple Empire’s border at several times the speed of sound.
……
In the center of the Red Maple Empire’s southern border, a huge city was situated.
One side of the city was within the Red Maple Empire, while the other side was an endless mountain range.
The mountain range spread out and was covered with forest vegetation. From time to time, the roars of ferocious beasts could be heard.
The city was made of black metal and had a radius of several hundred kilometers. It was even comparable to the White Cloud City in the Land of Origin.
In the sky above the city, there were quite a number of aircraft flying by. There were also genetic warriors riding on flying beasts and flying machines.
At every moment, there were genetic warriors entering and leaving the city gate.
This was the central fortress city of the Forbidden Zone of the endless mountains at the southern border, the endless fortress.
The endless fortress was not only the headquarters of the southern guards. It was also a bustling city of genetic warriors.
Most of the genetic warriors and adventurers who wanted to go to the Forbidden Zone would stop here to collect information and Exchange resources.
At this moment, five streams of light streaked across the sky. A huge black fighter jet appeared in the sky not far from the endless fort. Its speed gradually slowed down as it flew towards the endless fort.
The black fighter jet did not stop at an ordinary spaceport. Instead, it flew directly towards the headquarters of the southern defenders.
A team of adventurers in a pitch-black triangular fighter jet in the air saw the huge fighter jet flying across the sky not far from them, and their eyes widened slightly.
A man with a beard couldn’t help but exclaim,
“This is the Neltharion, right? There were actually five of them? Which great power was so rich? I heard that each fighter costs 500000 Grade 5 spirit crystals.”
“Eh? No, they seemed to have gone to the military camp earlier. could it be an official force of the empire?”
A middle-aged man said in surprise.
Everyone came back to their senses and watched as the Neltharion streaked across the sky and disappeared into the spaceport of the headquarters of the southern guards.
……
In the huge spaceport, the five Neltharion mecha stopped. The cabin doors opened, and the genius camp’s teachers and students walked out.
At the square of the spaceport, a few guards in black military uniforms were already waiting for them.
The leader of the group was a black-haired middle-aged man.
The man stood straight like a long spear. his eyes were extremely sharp. When Lu Yuan was swept by his gaze, he felt as if he was stabbed in the heart.
He strode forward and saluted the grey-haired old man with a serious expression.
“Headmaster Li, there’s an unusual movement in the restricted area. The commander is busy with official business and has sent me to receive you! In addition, the commander has already arranged the duties of everyone in the genius camp. the stage 1 warriors and research-type warriors will be placed at the last defensive camp, the stage 2 and stage 3 warriors will be placed in the middle of the defensive line, and the stage 4 warriors will be placed at the camp at the front of the defensive line. If there’s a need to change it, I’ll contact the commander!”
Hearing this, the grey-haired old man nodded his head slightly,
“Let’s distribute them according to Carlo’s method.”
The middle-aged man nodded.
“I understand! If you don’t need to rest, you can set off for the defense camp now. The military transport ship is ready!”
The grey-haired old man’s eyes flickered as he sized up the middle-aged man. He nodded slightly,
“That’s right. You’re very fast. Since that’s the case, I’ll leave the arrangements to you.”
The middle-aged man nodded and turned to look at the genius camp students. His gaze was sharp as he said,
“All stage one and research-type warriors, step forward!”
Upon hearing this, Yang Ping glanced at Lu Yuan and the others, then walked out dejectedly.
Out of the four people in the dormitory, he was the only one who was at the first rank.
Soon, all the stage 1 warriors and research-type warriors stepped out. There were more than 200 people in total.
Lu Yuan saw that other than Yang Ping, he also saw two other familiar faces, Lin Wei and Min’er.
They had taken the test together with Lu Yuan.
At this moment, the two of them seemed to have seen Lu Yuan as well, and they both nodded at him.
Lin Wei still had a bright smile on her face, and her eyes were wandering.
Lu Yuan smiled at the two of them and nodded in response.
Generally speaking, first-year students were all rank one.
Only a small number of people had reached the second rank. Of course, there was also Si Tingxue, who had reached the third rank in her first year.
After the first-stage and research-type talents stepped out, they were brought by the soldiers onto a military transport ship that was about a hundred meters long.
