Chapter 686: Chapter 686 - 33 Sky Wings

686 – 33 Sky Wings

Elder Shu waved at him and said, “I’ve already lived for 1,000 years, what’s there to be upset about? Actually, it’s meaningless to live for too long. The key is to live meaningfully. Furthermore, even if I really leave, I will become a branch of the Eternal Tree. I won’t really die, but become a part of the Eternal Tree.”

Tang Yue lowered his head silently. He really couldn’t bear his teacher to leave! Although many people in the academy disapproved of the School of Life and Elder Shu often offended people, he was really good to his disciples and the members of the School of Life. He had always protected and supported them, allowing the School of Life to have an extremely high status in the Federation. In a sense, the School of Life didn’t just belong to Shrek Academy anymore.

At the same time, the School of Life had the ability to communicate with the Eternal Tree. The Eternal Tree was the life core of the entire Mother Planet!

In the entire Life School, there was only one god-rank powerhouse, Elder Shu. Generally speaking, it was very difficult to cross the threshold of godhood when one has Life Affinity Physique. The past leaders of the School of Life would choose a part of their body to merge with the Eternal Tree when they were unable to do so. They would then use the power of the Eternal Tree to cross the threshold and become a god-rank powerhouse.

Hence, the School of Life always had a god-rank powerhouse. This was also an important reason why the School of Life could maintain its lofty status.

Elder Shu had been cultivating for a thousand years, but he still hadn’t decided on a successor until Lan Xuanyu appeared. There were different opinions within the School of Life, but Elder Shu’s prestige in the school was too high, so the different voices didn’t dare to raise too many objections.

As Elder Shu’s youngest disciple, Tang Yue completely agreed and supported Elder Shu’s decision. He was a quiet and indifferent person, and he had personally witnessed Lan Xuanyu grow day by day. This child seemed to have a unique quality that matched very well with life energy.

“Tang Yue, prepare for a School Assembly next month. I need to start making arrangements,” Elder Shu said indifferently.

Tang Yue trembled and replied respectfully, “Yes.”

Elder Shu looked at Lan Xuanyu in the lake. “Although he is still young, some responsibilities still have to fall on him.”

Tang Yue hesitated. “Isn’t it a little too early?”

Elder Shu smiled. “Time waits for no man! This is the first time in my life that I feel time passing too quickly.”

Tang Yue’s eyes reddened as he understood what Elder Shu meant. Elder Shu might not have much time left.

Elder Shu sighed softly. “It would be great if we had encountered him ten years earlier. That way, we would have ample time to make arrangements. But right now, we have to rely on him.”

Lan Xuanyu slept very comfortably and when he woke up, it was already the next morning. His entire body was filled with a rich life energy and the fatigue from the previous month was swept away in an instant.

After leaving the Sea God Lake and bidding farewell to Tang Yue, Lan Xuanyu started to get busy. He had many things to do in these three days. He had to prepare the supplies for the next operation, exchange for emblems, increase his Sky Fighter rank, set up the next mission, and prepare accordingly.

He had not forged for a month and he still had to familiarize himself with forging. At least, he could not lower his forging standard.

Just as Lan Xuanyu had predicted, one Sky Fighter point was enough to exchange for half a white emblem. To Lan Xuanyu, 200 white emblems were nothing, but to his classmates, it was already quite satisfying to have such a big harvest from a single mission. Furthermore, this was under the condition that it didn’t affect their Sky Fighter’s ranking up.

In the Mission Center, Lan Xuanyu and his teammates completed the upgrade. There weren’t many changes from a reserve Sky Fighter to a first rank Sky Fighter. There was only an update in the Sky Fighter system, and everything else was the same. The points used to exchange for levels had also decreased by 100, and each of them still had over 300 Sky Fighter points. Only by accumulating 1,000 points could they be promoted to a second rank Sky Fighter.

Regardless of strength, this process was indispensable. Everyone had to complete more missions before they could level up gradually.

“After becoming official Sky Fighters, we can set up a Sky Fighter team. What is our name? Does anyone have any thoughts? Once a Sky Fighter team is named, it cannot be changed, nor can we have the same name. Everyone, think about it.” Lan Xuanyu called all the students who had just completed the rank up.

A Sky Fighter team could accept some team missions. Comparatively speaking, the team missions were more complicated than ordinary missions, and they were all determined by the Sky Fighter Division that it required a team to complete.

Such a mission would be more complex and might involve many tasks. It would be more difficult to complete but the rewards would be higher too.

Without a team, they would not be able to take on a team mission. There was no doubt that for the Star War Experiment Class, it was obvious that they had to establish a team.

Everyone looked at each other in confusion.

They were not geniuses when it came to names.

“Why don’t we call it the Sky Wings team?” Lan Mengqin said.

Lan Xuanyu said, “Let’s check and see if there are any similar names.”

The answer was obvious. The name ‘Sky Wings’ was very catchy, but it was naturally already taken. After a simple search, it was displayed that they couldn’t use it.

Lan Mengqin pouted and said in dissatisfaction, “We will all have Sky Wing Mechas in the future, how great would this name have been!”

Bai Xiuxiu, who was standing next to her, said, “Why don’t we add a prefix to it then? We have a total of 33 people, how about we call it the 33 Sky Wings?”

Lan Xuanyu’s eyes lit up and Qian Lei praised, “This is good, 33 Sky Wings. It feels similar to the 18 War Gods of the War God Temple.”

Ding Zhuohan burst out laughing. “You sure know how to flatter your ego, comparing yourself with the 18 War Gods. In that case, are we going to have a number assigned as well ?”

Bing Tianliang: “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that!”

As he spoke, he turned towards Lan Xuanyu and used his right hand to point at the communication device beside his ear. “First Wing, I am Third Wing. Please reply if you copy.”

Ding Zhuohan was enraged upon hearing this. “Where is your face? Who gave you the confidence to call yourself Third Wing? Have you considered Yu Ge’s feelings? Have you considered Mengqin’s feelings? Ah?”

Bing Tianliang kicked him. “Stop picking on me.”

Ding Zhuohan dodged to the side. “I’m telling the truth. I only dare to call myself Eighth Wing at most. You shameless brat, how dare you call yourself Third Wing?”

Him saying Eighth Wing was obviously after considering Lan Xuanyu and the rest of his team. He had chosen the number following just after the seven of them.

“You as the Eighth Wing ? You’re the shameless one.”

“Alright, alright.” Lan Xuanyu pulled Bing Tianliang and said, “We’ll talk about the number of wings later. What do you think of the name ‘33 Sky Wings’?”

“I think it’s good.” Liu Feng nodded.

Tang Yuge and Yuanen Huihui nodded at the same time. After nodding, they looked at each other and turned their heads away.

This name was meaningful and included all 33 of them. Very soon, everyone agreed.

33 Sky Wings. This name did not exist before and the registration was successful.

And thus, the 33 Sky Wings battle team was established in the Sky Fighter Division.

Lan Xuanyu as First Wing, or rather, Head Wing, naturally had everyone’s approval. But the rest of the rankings were different. Everyone wanted to fight for a higher ranking.

The reason was very simple. The stronger the War God Temple’s 18 War Gods were, the smaller the number. All of a sudden, there was a lot of noise.

With regards to this, Lan Xuanyu was helpless as well. He couldn’t make a decision on this either. Many of his classmates had similar strengths and wouldn’t submit to anyone!
