714 – This Is Our Last Chance
Lan Xuanyu was actually very unwilling to think about this because when he had to face this problem, it meant that Elder Shu’s life had come to an end.
Tang Zhenhua said, “Let’s not talk about this for now, you should prepare for this sparring match first.”
“En, Teacher, I’ll leave first.” Lan Xuanyu was indeed in a rush to go back. The sudden situation made him change his plan immediately.
Tang Zhenhua said, “We haven’t completed the production of the Sky Wings yet, but we should be able to provide you guys with 10 sets first. I will get the relevant people to come over for a test drive later.”
“Alright.” With ten Sky Wings coordinating with the warship, they would be safer during the mission.
After leaving the Interstellar Center, Lan Xuanyu returned to his dorm.
The moment he laid on the bed, his entire mind went blank. After completing a mission, he was very tired, mainly due to his mental fatigue because he had to concentrate on thinking and dealing with everything that could happen.
Every decision he made was related to the safety of the entire class.
It was only at this moment that he relaxed. Everything the sparring match and missions were temporarily put aside. His classmates needed to rest, and so did he.
His thoughts had become clear. Completing both the academy’s mission and the Sky Fighter mission was what they had to do in the next phase.
As for the sixth-year’s challenge, he didn’t really care.

Sima Xian hung up the communication and looked at Li Siming and Li Siqi, saying in a low voice, “They’ve agreed.”
The two brothers were invigorated and subconsciously clenched their fists. “This is our last chance.”
Sima Xian nodded and said, “That’s right! We have never forgotten the humiliation in the past few years. We are about to graduate from the Outer Court. If we can’t wash away this humiliation, I’m afraid we won’t be able to remain calm during the Inner Court exam. This time, we will definitely give them a surprise.”
“En. I just don’t know how strong they are right now. They have been too quiet these few years and didn’t make any noise. They should have started carrying out the Sky Fighter missions recently and I’m not sure how they are doing,” Li Siming said.
Sima Xianxian: “The more quiet they are, the more careful we have to be. We all know Tang Yuge’s strength, but I heard that she hasn’t been able to break through to the seven-ring for some reason. If she only has six rings, we have an 80% chance of winning. Even if she has broken through to the seven-ring, our chances of winning should still be around 70%.”
“En, we’ll plan our tactics for the next few days. We still have to deal with Lan Xuanyu first. The more there is no news, the harder it is to say. Although we have an absolute advantage in terms of Battle Armor and cultivation, wasn’t it the same back then? We still lost in the end. The most important thing for us is to be steady so that they don’t have any chance of creating a miracle.”

Lan Xuanyu slept all the way until night time. He planned to inform everyone about the situation tomorrow and let everyone have a good rest today.
He picked up his soul communication device, laid on the bed, and dialed a number.
Very soon, a gentle female voice came from the other side. “You’re back?”
“En, Teacher Nana, we might not be leaving for the time being. The academy wants us to compete with the sixth-years. Are you at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy?” The person on the other side of the communication device was his Teacher Nana.
Nana smiled. “It’s good to have more actual combat experience. I’ll come over, I miss you guys too.”
“Great ! Great !” This was what Lan Xuanyu wanted to say. He had been on two consecutive Sky Fighter missions and he had not seen Nana since.
Not long after, a silver door of light quietly opened in Lan Xuanyu’s living room. A slender figure stepped out and arrived before Lan Xuanyu.
Her long silver hair was let down and she was dressed in a long white dress that made her look even more ethereal. Nana was still as beautiful as ever. Although so many years had passed, she was like a fairy with no traces of time on her face.
“Teacher Nana.” Lan Xuanyu pounced forward and hugged Nana.
Nana smiled and rubbed his head. “You’re almost an adult but you’re still acting like a child.”
Lan Xuanyu raised his head and looked at her. “I will always be a child in front of you.”
Nana smiled. “Did the mission go smoothly?”
Lan Xuanyu nodded and said, “It went quite smoothly, everything is fine.”
Nana sensed the change in his aura and nodded slightly. “You’ve made some progress. Just keep steadily improving your cultivation.”
“Alright.” Lan Xuanyu nodded.
His soul power was still increasing very slowly, much slower than his companions. If not for the fact that he had been purchasing large amounts of Heaven and Earth treasures from the academy and cultivating in the Sea God Lake, he suspected that his soul power would have stagnated.
The Purple Immortal Spirit Ganoderma was indeed quite useful. His bloodline didn’t have any signs of absorbing spiritual power recently and was constantly growing stronger. But Lan Xuanyu felt that the effects of the Purple Immortal Spirit Ganoderma were no longer as good as when he ate it first. It might be because he had absorbed too much when he broke through to the four-ring.
Nana said, “I’ve looked for high-grade Heaven and Earth treasures in the market, but I didn’t find anything. It seems like you can only look for them in Shrek Academy. I’ve asked around and found out that most of the truly high-grade treasures are controlled by Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect. If you want to improve faster, you need to eat more good things. You don’t have to worry about your bloodline being unable to accommodate them.”
Lan Xuanyu nodded and said, “I’ve kept eating Endless Life Fruits recently and the effect is quite good. After breaking through to four-ring, my soul power has completely stabilized. But I feel that the effect of the Purple Immortal Spirit Ganoderma is weakening. Is it lacking in nutrients?”
Nana nodded her head and said, “That’s possible. You still need more of those Heaven and Earth treasures. It would be best if you could have 100,000-year Heaven and Earth treasures, especially for the next time you break through. According to my calculations when you broke through to the four-ring, you need a 100,000-year immortal herb to break through successfully next time. It would be best if you could prepare two of them.”
Lan Xuanyu scratched his head and said, “It doesn’t seem so easy. Although the academy has some, it should be quite expensive. I think I might not even be able to break through to the five-ring when I graduate from the Outer Court.”
Nana said, “Not necessarily, we’ll see. If you can’t, I’ll think of something for you.”
“Alright.” Lan Xuanyu hugged Nana tightly again.
Nana asked, “Where is Xiuxiu?”
Lan Xuanyu said, “I didn’t tell her that you’re here. Otherwise, she would have snatched you away again. I’ll tell her tomorrow.”
Nana laughed. “Aren’t you afraid that she’ll be unhappy?”
Lan Xuanyu blinked. “Should we tell her now?”
Nana’s lips curled up. “It seems like you really care about Xiuxiu’s feelings.”
Lan Xuanyu replied helplessly, “Because I can’t afford to offend her !”
Twenty minutes later, Bai Xiuxiu arrived at Lan Xuanyu’s dorm. Upon seeing Nana, she naturally gave her a warm welcome.
“Teacher Nana, I’ve broken through.,” Bai Xiuxiu said excitedly.
“Oh? Show me your soul skills later.” Nana smiled.
“Sure!”
Lan Xuanyu’s cultivation room was quickly occupied by Bai Xiuxiu. He stood outside helplessly as he watched Bai Xiuxiu unleash her soul skills.
“I knew that if she came, I would be ignored. Hmph!” Lan Xuanyu could only watch enviously as Nana guided Bai Xiuxiu in the cultivation room. Who asked him to not have any breakthroughs recently?
The next morning, Lan Xuanyu gathered everyone and told them about the sparring match with the sixth-years.
