Arrival at the Desolate Planet!

Upon hearing that, Wang Yangming smiled and said, "Of course."

He paused for a moment and sorted out the thoughts in his mind he continued.

"This desolate planet is a planet that belongs to the Mukda Federation."

"Although this desolate planet belongs to the Mukda Federation, its position is rather awkward. It's almost at the edge of our Mukda Federation borders. Furthermore, other than the Mukda Federation, there are also quite a number of hostile families on this planet due to the lack of resources such as The Empire."

"During the trial, if you recklessly enter the other party's territory, you run the risk of being killed

"Therefore, try your best to stay within the territory controlled by our Mukda Federation government

"Of course, staying within the territory controlled by our Mukda Federation government does not mean you'll be safe either. Be it the Alien Beasts or those shrewd space pirates, your lives might be threatened at any time!"

All the students present swallowed their saliva nervously and said.

"Teacher, don't worry. We'll stay vigilant at all times."

"Yeah! Even if it's for the sake of our lives, we won't go beyond the borders!"

"F*ck, you must protect us!"

"Other than the Alien Beasts, there are so many potential dangers."

A portion of the people could not help but show a look of fear after they heard Wang Yangming's account of things.

On the other hand, Qin Yue also felt surprised after he heard about the distribution of forces on the desolate planet.

The planet they usually lived on looked so peaceful and lively!

However, he did not expect that there would be so many dangers once they left the protection of the Federation.

The universe was not as peaceful as it appeared to be.

If he did not have strength and power behind him, It would be very difficult for him to survive in this chaotic world.

Beside Qin Yue, Ling Ru seemed to have sensed his worries as she blinked her beautiful eyes and said softly.

"Qin Yue, don't worry. We're squadmates. Don't you still have us?"

"That's right, Little Brother Qin Yue. We're squadmates." Tang Lin smiled with her usual charm. 

Li Yanyan also puffed her cheeks and said from the side, "Yep, we'll always be squadmates, Big Brother Qin Yue."

The expressionless Wang Jun also nodded at Qin Yue.

Their families had allowed them to see a lot of the world since they were young. They better understood things outside of the federation than Qin Yue, who had only learned about it for a few dozen days.

Qin Yue smiled in relief as he looked at all of them.

That's right!

It was unknown when it started, but since he had no friends since he was young, he had unknowingly gained four friends who cared about him during his time at the academy.

A few days passed without incident…

After everyone had slept for two nights, the cruiser finally reached the mobile fortress that the desolate star was located in.

The cruiser's cabin door had just opened when a small city shrouded in yellow light came into view.

At that moment, the people who saw the mobile fortress for the first time were shocked again.

The mobile fortress was built using all kinds of metal materials which gave it a sci-fi Vibe!

Instead of calling it a fortress, it should have been called a City of Steel, that was a more fitting name for what everyone saw!

"F*ck, this is even more sci-fi than the Cybertron, the hometown of those robots in the Transformers movie I watched!"

As he stood at the cabin door of the cruiser and looked down at everything, Qin Yue could not help but exclaim.

"We're finally here. After a few days of idleness, my body is almost rusty!"

"Hehe, who isn't!"

Just as everyone whispered to each other, Wang Yangming's voice entered everyone's ears.

"We're here, let's disembark!"

Wang Yangming stood at the front of the group at the exit. He waved his hand and directed everyone to get down from the cruiser.

"Okay, teacher Wang."

Soon, all thirty-five people got down from the cruiser to the port of the mobile fortress. Just to find that there was no one at the port. It was unusually quiet for a place as large as the fortress they were in.

The seven squads looked around and did not see a single person.

Confusion and puzzlement immediately surrounded everyone's mind.

Since this was the port of the mobile fortress, why was there no one here? Moreover, was there no one in charge of guiding them?

Finally, a student could not hold it in anymore and started asking questions.

"Teacher, do we need to transport our mecha down ourselves?"

"Yes, go!"

Wang Yangming did not look at the student who asked the question. Instead, he examined the empty environment around him.

From the side, Qin Yue noticed that there was a cautious and tense expression on Wang Yangming's face ever since he got off the cruiser.

From the teacher's expression and the fact that the huge port was empty, Qin Yue could sense that something was wrong.

However, for now, they had to first retrieve their mecha from the cruiser.

After all, the mecha were the best way for them to deal with unexpected situations.

Following that, Qin Yue did not delay any further. He boarded the cruiser with his classmates once again and personally piloted the mecha off the ship.

As he stood near the ship, Wang Yangming's brows were constantly on alert, not daring to relax in case he had missed something.

According to the usual protocol, whenever a student went to the barren planet for a trial, there would be a staff member responsible for handovers at the port of the fortress.

This time, it was exceptionally unusual since there was no one at the port... 

In Sky Hunter's cabin, Qin Yue communicated with Ling Ru and the rest through its communication system.

Qin Yue instructed with a heavy tone, "Everyone, be mindful of your surroundings! There's no one around at such a huge fort's port. This is too strange!"

"No problem."

"Alright."

Ling Ru and the others, as well as all the students around them, also sensed that something was amiss. All of them stayed alert.

Just as Qin Yue, Wang Yangming, and the rest were still trying to figure out the abnormal situation, in the distance, the figure of a middle-aged man suddenly appeared in everyone's field of vision.

Wang Yangming did not remind the students, because from the moment he came to the desolate star, he was destined to be an observer.

Qin Yue was the first to notice the incoming person, and through the public channel, he immediately informed all the students.

"Attention, movement at nine o'clock, full alert!

"It could be the handover personnel, or it could be the enemy!"

Shua~

In an instant, more than thirty mecha immediately moved, emitting mechanical creaks.

In just an instant, everyone was on alert, ready to fight.

After a few breaths, the figure in the distance ran to Wang Yangming.

"Hello, instructor Wang, I am the fort's handover staff."

The handover man looked at the 30-odd mecha around him, ready for battle at a moment's notice, and subconsciously shivered.

Damn, he had not seen this scene for a long time.

'As expected of the so-called top-notch class of geniuses!' The man thought to himself.

After the students and Wang Yangming heard that it was just the transfer staff of the mobile fortress, their tensed nerves finally relaxed a little.

"Okay."

Wang Yangming nodded and responded. However, he still wore a dissatisfied expression, seemingly unhappy with the transfer.

Seeing his scowl, the staff responsible for the transfer opened his mouth to explain, "I'm sorry. We don't have enough people because another fortress recently docked with us to exchange energy. A lot of work had to be arranged in advance, so things were delayed for a while."

Wang Yangming suddenly understood and expressed his understanding, "So it's to do with an energy exchange."

The energy exchange between fortresses was to alleviate the energy shortage between the fortresses. They sometimes gathered to exchange energy and replenish supplies.

If there was insufficient energy and no exchanges we performed, the fortresses would completely stop functioning, which was not ideal for the many people stationed on the fortresses.
