Chapter 89: Chapter 89: Arrival at Shenxiao, Freshman Ranking!
The next morning.
Lin Yi brought his parents to the Teleportation Hall in Jiangcheng.
Although he had always said that the things at home were too old and they could buy and replace them in the Imperial Capital,
his mother, Xu Qingfang, was reluctant to part with them, and packed up half of the household items yesterday.
Fortunately, Lin Yi also hired a moving team in the morning, paid for their travel expenses, and they went together to the Imperial Capital.
At 9 a.m., Li Yuanjing appeared on time, and after some polite exchanges,
Li Yuanjing first took Lin Yi’s family through the Teleportation Array in Jiangcheng to Tianhai City.
Then, using the giant interprovincial Teleportation Array in Tianhai City, they headed to the Imperial Capital.
After arriving at the Imperial Capital, they moved Lin Yi’s parents into the new home.
Everything was settled by noon.
To thank Li Yuanjing for his care along the way, Xu Qingfang insisted on keeping Li Yuanjing for a lavish lunch at the new home.
Then she pulled Lin Yi, wiping away tears, and reminded him of things to watch out for in university.
In fact, Lin Yi had heard these words so often that he was tired of them.
But he still patiently listened to the end.
Once everything was arranged, Li Yuanjing set off with Lin Yi for Shenxiao.
"Mr. Li, I’ve actually always wanted to ask, which province is Shenxiao Academy in? Is it in the Imperial Capital?"
On the way, Lin Yi inquired about this question.
Li Yuanjing smiled mysteriously: "You’re in luck, it’s currently in the Imperial Capital."
Lin Yi was taken aback: "Currently?"
Lin Yi was a bit confused.
Li Yuanjing didn’t explain much, he just led Lin Yi to the square in front of the Ministry of Education.
"You’re not afraid of heights, are you?" Li Yuanjing asked again.
Lin Yi’s heart became alert.
He had a feeling that something big was waiting for him.
Before Lin Yi could answer, he saw a spherical object shimmering with countless data-based blue lights descending from the sky.
Then, like a lotus, the large iron ball unfolded, revealing its internal structure to Lin Yi.
It was a flight pod just large enough to fit two people.
There were no control panels inside the pod, not even a place to sit.
"Let’s go inside."
Li Yuanjing led Lin Yi into the spherical flight pod.
Once they were in position, the flight pod’s external mechanical components closed in like a blooming lotus, enclosing the two within it.
From the outside, the large iron ball looked full of high-tech features.
But Lin Yi didn’t expect that from the inside, the material turned out to be transparent.
At this moment, everything inside the pod around him became transparent.
It was as if he was standing on a piece of nothingness.
What kind of technology is this?!
"Beep!"
After a soft electronic sound, Lin Yi finally understood why Li Yuanjing asked him if he was afraid of heights.
Because, in the next second, he realized, this flight pod shot into the air with incredible acceleration!
In just the blink of an eye, Lin Yi found himself several kilometers above the ground!
Even the tallest skyscrapers in the Imperial Capital were now beneath his gaze.
The altitude climbed rapidly, yet the speed continued to increase!
Fortunately, Lin Yi wasn’t too afraid of heights.
Especially after obtaining the Gale Wings skill, having flown a few times, Lin Yi was no longer so worried about falling to his death.
Watching the bustling Imperial Capital shrink rapidly below, it wasn’t long before they reached above the cloud layers.
The cityscape below disappeared completely from view.
Shenxiao Academy...
Is it really flying in the sky?
Lin Yi looked up towards the sky.
After reaching the stratosphere, the sky was clear, unclouded, and beside the sun, Lin Yi saw a dark shadow appear.
The shadow resembled a giant ship.
Lin Yi felt the ascent speed of this flight pod was almost breaking the second cosmic speed, and the shadow in the sky continued to enlarge.
When Lin Yi finally saw it clearly, he couldn’t help but be awed!
Indeed, it was an extremely large flying object.
The material used at the bottom of the object was similar to that of the flight pod they were in.
Both were dark gray with a hint of blue, and very solid in texture.
When they flew over the object, Lin Yi was astonished to discover that the lower structure should be the hull base of this celestial aircraft carrier.
Above it was a scenery as if taken from paradise.
The first thing that caught his eye were the towering green mountains at the back of the carrier.
Distant mountains were shrouded in mist, with a waterfall cascading down from a cliff; Lin Yi squinted, feeling like he saw a huge creature’s body amidst the mountain mist.
Its body was covered in coarse scales, overall a blue-gray color.
But it flashed by and disappeared into the mist.
On the plains beneath the mountains, the flora was lush and the scenery was pleasant.
Countless buildings were scattered among them.
Near the main gate closest to him, Lin Yi saw the two flamboyant characters "Shenxiao!"
He never expected that Shenxiao Academy was built atop a gigantic celestial aircraft carrier!
Moreover, the structure above this carrier wasn’t even a cabin.
It seemed like a part of Blue Star’s surface was directly moved up, and landscaped afterward!
It’s magnificent!
"Impressive, isn’t it?"
"I felt just as awed as you the first time I saw Shenxiao Academy!"
"This was the masterpiece of Shenxiao’s former principal, also Xia’s third War God."
"This carrier was named Purple Cloud Celestial Court by him, which is one of the origins of Shenxiao Academy’s name."
Lin Yi looked around.
He discovered that Shenxiao’s location was more than just high.
Further up, he could even see the dark, silent cosmos.
And below, the Blue Star’s spherical appearance was visible.
"Come, let’s report in."
The flight pod landed, the door opened, and Lin Yi and Li Yuanjing stepped out.
Entering Shenxiao Academy.
Lin Yi had worried that being so high up in Shenxiao might make it difficult to breathe.
But once he stepped through the gates, he realized he worried for nothing.
A spherical barrier was present over the entire Shenxiao campus, ensuring the atmosphere wouldn’t escape into outer space.
The hull base below likely also had corresponding air purification and filtration systems.
"Hello, I’m here to register a new student, may we pass?"
Li Yuanjing smiled at the gate-guarding guard at the entrance.
Lin Yi glanced at the guard, feeling a bit stunned.
Wow, even the gatekeepers at Shenxiao are Sixth Transformation professionals?
The guard looked at Lin Yi and said, "Admission notice."
Li Yuanjing handed Lin Yi’s admission notice to the guard; after some confirmations, the guard opened the gate.
And reminded, "The first thing new students must do upon entering is complete their ranking."
"The registration office is in that building just ahead; your information should already be in Shenxiao’s system, but without a ranking, your accommodation and daily resources can’t be determined."
"You’ve arrived rather late; a group of early reporting students is already inside preparing for ranking."
"Hurry up, or you’ll have to wait until tomorrow to rank."
"You might end up living on the street."
