Chapter 974: Arrival At The 7th Fleet

Qian Lei said, "From now on, when we're in battle, I'll be responsible for making the enemy bleed. You can try it out. With a few more experiments, we might find a method that works."
Jiayu's eyes lit up, nodding as he said, "That's a good idea. I've noticed that the sea spirit beasts I summon are very sensitive to blood, and it greatly enhances their ferocity. If I were to self-detonate, the amplification effect on the blood would be best, since all of my power is infused in it. If it's someone else's blood, it should work as long as they have their own energy."
"I think you could use your own blood as a guide. The effect should be good that way. And what about Li Han? Li Han, can your tidal power gather blood?" Liu Feng also chimed in, giving Jiayu ideas.
Li Han said, "In theory, all liquids can be controlled to become tides. Blood is also a liquid, so it should work. If blood can enhance the Sea Soul Beast so much, I think we can try it. Li Bin, can your Bright Moon's power increase under the influence of blood?"
Li Bin smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know either! But our martial soul fusion technique, Bright Moon Rises On The Sea, do you plan to turn it into a Blood Moon Rises On The Sea? What about artistic conception?"
Li Han rolled his eyes and said, "What's the point of artistic conception in front of power? Let's think about it. Maybe we can turn the Bright Moon Rises On The Sea into a combined version of Blood Moon Rises On The Sea. The power will definitely increase significantly. This is good. Jiayu, you have quietly guided us in the right direction. We have you!"
"I didn't do anything," Jiayu said shyly. However, looking at his current appearance, who can imagine that he had just self-destructed and sacrificed himself to perform a desperate soul technique not long ago?
At this moment, Lan Xuanyu had just grabbed Bai Xiuxiu who was trying to escape, and was tickling her under her armpit as Bai Xiuxiu couldn't stop laughing.
"Spare me, I was wrong."
"What did you do just now? Hmph! You still want to see me again? Where do you want to go? Let me tell you, you can't run away in this lifetime."
Lan Mengqin, who had her arms crossed in front of her, rolled her eyes. "I can't stand you two, so cheesy! Qian Lei, come here!"
For a while, the transport ship was filled with laughter and joy. For the Thirty-Three Sky Wings, this was unprecedented. Since they entered Shrek Academy, they had never been so relaxed.
The Dragon Horse galaxy was very far from the mother star, and the transport ship needed to fly for twenty-one days and go through three wormhole jumps before arriving.
After the initial relaxation, everyone's mood calmed down and they each meditated to pass the long time.
Lan Xunyu summoned his Golden Dragon Spear and immersed himself in the spiritual space, continuing to practice his Thousand-Fold Strike. After days of continuous training, he had gradually found some feelings.
The Thousand-Fold Strike displayed by Tang San, the Sea God, was simply powerful with a strong attack. But Lan Xunyu was different; he had many abilities, and each soul ring was at the level of one hundred thousand years. Therefore, he gradually felt that the biggest characteristic of his Thousand-Fold Strike should be in its variability – changes in attributes, instant changes, combinations of elements, and the power of the Golden Dragon King.
With the same Thousand-Fold Strike, every time he thrust it seemed to have a different feeling, guiding different forces and producing different effects.
Because there were too many changes, he needed more time to comprehend all the changes they brought. This required long-term practice, but he seemed to have gradually found his direction.
The Golden Dragon was the bone, and the Silver Dragon was the skin.
They complemented each other and were interwoven with each other.
It was during their respective training that the twenty-one days finally passed.
In the distance, a large fleet of warships appeared outside the portholes. The alert tone inside the transport ship also sounded, "Returning to the fleet soon. All personnel, prepare yourselves."
The alert tone repeated, and Lan Xuanyu also ended his training and opened his eyes again.
Major Zhan Ge had returned discreetly, when he saw Lan Xuanyu open his eyes, he nodded slightly at him.
Lan Xuanyu also nodded in acknowledgement to him and looked outside.
Although it was not the first time he had seen the Seventh Fleet, he still felt a surge of excitement when he saw so many warships outside the portholes.
At that time, the warship became noisy again. Among the 33 members of the Sky Wings, only Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu had been in close contact with the fleet before, while the others were experiencing it for the first time. Suddenly, their emotions were all aroused.
Leaning against the porthole, they looked at the variously shaped warships outside, especially the huge mother ship, which was like a city, seen through the gaps between the warships. The vastness of space and the strength of the space fleet gave rise to complex emotions of excitement in everyone's hearts.
The transport ships flew past one warship after another. As they were from the Shrek Academy and had special status, they had to report to the mother ship first before being arranged to serve in the military. Especially since they were all officers, further arrangements were needed.
Lan Xuanyu's mood at this time was completely different from the last time he came to the Seventh Fleet. The last time he came, he had only one thought in his mind, which was how to rescue Teacher Nana and how to save her from the stars. But now he was relaxed, and his whole person was in the best state of mind.
For his upcoming military career, he was indeed very much looking forward to it. Undoubtedly, he took a shortcut. A person who had just entered the army for the first time had unexpectedly been promoted to the rank of Major General. Even Lan Xuanyu himself found it unbelievable.
The mother ship opened a passage and guided the transport ship inside. After a series of scans and inspections, it finally entered the interior of the mother ship.
General Zhan Ge had already started to contact the mother ship. When the transport ship finally stopped, he came to Lan Xuanyu and said, "Major General Lan Xuanyu, according to the fleet staff notice, please report to the staff department. Other personnel will be arranged separately."
Lan Xuanyu asked, "General Zhan Ge, will we be scattered to various departments?"
Zhan Ge replied, "I'm not sure how the staff will arrange it. You should find out the specifics when you get to the staff department." He didn't have a good impression of Lan Xuanyu and even felt a bit jealous. An 18-year-old general! He had achieved many successes step by step, and after more than 20 years, he became the youngest major general in the Seventh Fleet. But compared to the person in front of him, he felt like crying. How could someone become a general at the age of 18? How was that possible?
"Okay," Lan Xuanyu could also feel Zhan Ge's indifferent attitude towards him and didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, he would find out the specifics when he got to the staff department.
Below, there was already a shuttle waiting, which was completely different from the last time he came. This time, there was no one to greet them. Under the guidance of Zhan Ge, Lan Xuanyu boarded a specialized shuttle, while the others boarded another shuttle.
Lan Xuanyu waved goodbye to his teammates and pointed to the soul
communicator on his wrist. The two shuttles headed in different directions. Lan Xuanyu passed through multiple checkpoints on the shuttle and arrived at the headquarters of the Seventh Fleet.
He was taken to a meeting room where Zhan Ge asked him to wait and then left.
Looking around, Lan Xuanyu saw that the meeting room was also styled the same way as the warship’s metal. It was small, could accommodate about ten people, and was considered a small meeting room.
He found a place to sit down and waited quietly.
After a short while, the door to the meeting room opened and Lan Xuanyu quickly stood up. A general with the rank of admiral walked in from outside.
The person looked to be in their fifties, with a refined temperament and a handsome appearance. Their eyes were bright and full of vitality, and they wore a faint smile on their face.
"Hello, sir," Lan Xuanyu quickly performed a military salute that was not quite standard.
The admiral smiled slightly and said, "Don't be so formal. We are family now. I am Chen Yilei, the chief of staff of our Seventh Fleet. Originally, the commander was supposed to come and meet you today, but he happened to be inspecting the escort ship, so I came instead. How was your journey? Please sit down." As he spoke, he sat down opposite Lan Xuanyu.
Lan Xuanyu quickly replied, "It was fine."
Chen Yilei said, "That's good. I have reviewed your information and consulted with the commander. After considering the opinions of your academy, we will arrange the following for you. The thirty-three of you will be dispersed to various fleets. Because your personal abilities are all very outstanding, you will be assigned to the exploration teams of various fleets. Although you will be dispersed, it will be ensured that you are in groups of at least five people, after all, you are familiar with each other. It will probably be divided into five groups. You will decide specifically how to group yourselves."
