Chapter 231: Warfron (2/2)

Lu Yin nodded. “Got it.”

Uncle You Ling then hung up without saying another word.

Lu Yin put his gadget down. Many of the questions that he’d been pondering over had finally been answered. However, this call had dredged up some bad memories as well. He shook his head and left, following the Explorer realm soldier back to the space station.

It had taken the warship just fifteen days to travel from the Frostwave Weave’s Astral-10 to the warfront of the Innerverse’s Erudite Flowzone. The speed at which they had crossed this vast distance with the expedited military route was astonishing. It also made it obvious how vitally important the Human Domain treated the ongoing battle at the warfront for them to have created this expedited route for the soldiers.

After crossing the Erudite Flowzone’s Tributary Astral River, Lu Yin saw a spectacular sight from the warship. There was a whole line of planets right beside the Tributary Astral River. This was the Human Domain border, and with so many warships in the area, it was enough to send a chill running down anyone’s back.

A single warship had enough power to kill an Explorer, and there were so many of them here.

The entire region’s space had been sealed off, and there were defensive formations everywhere, all centered around the planets. At times, startling beast howls could be heard off in the distance, resounding throughout outer space.

“The commander of our Erudite Flowzone Allied Troops is Shui Chuanxiao. The strongest astral beast that’s fighting against us is called Emperor Blazewhiz.” The pilot had walked up to Lu Yin’s side at some point and started speaking.

“Emperor Blazewhiz?” Lu Yin was confused.

“It’s an ultra astral beast that controls three different flames: black, white, and red. It’s also one of the seven strongest beings in the Beast Domain’s Desolate Beast Alliance. It has a terrifying power level that’s over 200,000,” the pilot explained.

Lu Yin was surprised. A power level over 200,000? That meant that it was much more powerful than a Hunter. In the human region, reaching that level meant being an Enlighter, every one of which was considered all-powerful. It was a surprise to hear that such a terrifying being was on the other side of the battlefield.

“Did you just say the Desolate Beast Alliance?” Silver asked curiously as he walked up.

The pilot glanced at him and said, “The Desolate Beast Alliance is an organization made up of the seven strongest astral beasts. It’s meant to deal with us humans and is the Beast’s version of the Blaze Realm and Sword Sect. Don’t underestimate them; their intelligence isn’t any worse than ours. In order to invade the Human Domain, they’ve been constantly probing us for weaknesses. They even habitually use star energy to forcibly alter the structure of their bodies to gain a human form. Sometimes, they even imitate humans and set up their own academies to discuss ways to fight humans. They are always evolving.”

It was not difficult to use star energy to forcibly alter one’s body structure, but the pain that one had to endure to do so was intense. If these beasts were actually willing to endure such agony, then the threat that the Human Domain was facing was even worse than what the two students had imagined.

With a loud boom, the warship landed on the barren ground. A huge field had been marked out, and the edges of the field rippled, showing that the space had been sealed off. Not too far away, there was a metallic base with glinting light reflecting off of it.

“We’re here. This is one of Planet Conan’s bases. The boss ordered me to send you two here,” the pilot told Lu Yin and Yin.

Lu Yin was filled with gratitude. “Thank you so much for all your help, sir.”

The pilot smiled and patted Lu Yin on the shoulder. “Remember, you need to be careful if you want to survive here.”

Lu Yin grunted in acknowledgement and slowly exited the warship.

Not long after, it rose and flew away.

Lu Yin looked at his surroundings, but there was only brown earth everywhere and a violent gale blowing through it. There was no greenery to be seen anywhere, and the ground under their feet was incredibly desiccated. As the wind whipped up around them, a layer of fine sand blew away and revealed the dark red soil hidden underneath. It was the color of dry blood. This was the battlefield.

There were quite a few troops patrolling the area. The occasional aircraft came and went from the sky; a bit further away from them, another warship landed. It looked like it had come to deliver some supplies.

Lu Yin and Silver were taken to the bottom of a cliff. There were already people there waiting to receive them, and among them was a veteran who was training new troops.

“Astral-10’s Lu Yin reporting for duty.”

“Astral-10’s Silver reporting for duty.”

Everyone looked at the two of them in awe. They weren’t surprised to see the two students since the Astral Combat Tournament had been broadcast across the universe. Countless people now knew these two.

The veteran nodded. The only expression on his aged face was one of calm. “My name is Gildor, and I’m one of the centurions at this base. From now on, I’ll be your instructor. I won’t be teaching you how to fight, but rather how to survive on the battlefield.”

“Yes, sir,” Lu Yin answered seriously.

“Yes, sir,” Silver answered as well, though there was still a smile on his face.

Gildor nodded. “Go to the barracks over there and change into the clothes on your bunks. You’ve got one minute. All miscellaneous items should immediately be stored in your cosmic ring.”

Lu Yin and Silver immediately entered the barracks and changed into their uniforms.

Gildor looked towards the barracks with a surprised expression. He had assumed that these two would be problematic since they were talented geniuses from the Astral Combat Academy, but that didn’t seem to be the case.
