Interstellar World: Arc 7.2

The hatch slowly descended downwards, and from Bai Lixin's perspective, he could only see the man neck down because of the obstruction of the bulkhead. But this did not stop him from seeing through the phenomenon to its essence; the man standing at the top of the ladder door looked extremely tall and was nothing like the fair-skinned guides outside.

[Lord host, this is the grand prince of the Diyang Empire, Lei Yao]. Bai Lixin was dutifully reminded by S419M.

Bai Lixin nodded, his gaze following Lei Yao's figure closely.

With a "clang," the hatch landed on the ground. It was only when he slowly stepped out of the darkness of the aircraft that Bai Lixin realized that he was not dressed in pitch black, but in a slim indigo trench coat with a pair of black trousers underneath.

Lei Yao looked to be about twenty-six or seven years old, with short hair that reached his ears. His hair looked black but when he stepped out of the aircraft, it reflected an indigo glow in the light of the sun.

His eyes were deep and luminous, and his nose was high. His pink lips were gently pursed as his eyes scanned the sentinel area as if searching for something.

When Lei Yao's eyes fell on Bai Lixin, he gave a slight pause, a surprised look flickering in his eyes before looking away.

While the ordinary guides stood in the special guide area, Lei Qi, the second prince of the royal family, was greeted warmly by the principal of the Sentinel Academy as soon as he stepped off the aircraft.

As he walked slowly alongside the principal, Lei Qi heard the sound of the rear hatch closing and opening again, and he turned his head in surprise, "Royal brother, why are you down here?"

Lei Yao's footsteps did not stop, and he talked as he walked, "I'm tired of sitting, so I came out to move around a bit."

Tired of sitting?

This answer is too capricious.

Lei Qi gave a slight pause when he noticed that the principal standing beside him had moved to meet Lei Yao.

Lei Yao was 28 years old, not too young anymore. Since there was a Sentinel Academy at Diyang Star, there was a Guide Academy. Both Sentinels and Guides could not graduate until they were 20 years old and could only find a partner after graduation.

Although he was the eldest but powerfully prince, he was practically non-existent. Without a sentinel, he couldn't go into battle. He had an exceptional spiritual power that makes people sigh in admiration. But this kind of power, which can only be used for admiration and bragging, was a bit of a crying shame.

This one super strong guide stepped down from the airship, and the sentinel school was overjoyed. The Grand Prince was having a hard time finding a suitable sentinel because of his spiritual power, but once chosen, it would be the strongest combination of sentinel and guide on the Diyang Star!

"Your Highness the Grand Prince, since you are down here, will you also pick your sentinel?" The principal of the Sentinel Academy asked after performing a royal salute to the Grand Prince.

"Your proposal is good. Your school has a lot of talent this year, so it would be a good idea to give it a try." Lei Yao nodded solemnly, his glittering blue eyes glancing once again in Bai Lixin's direction without a trace.

This glance was seemingly unnoticed, but Bai Lixin, who saw it, felt his body suddenly trembling and his chrysanthemum tingle a little.

With all the guides present, the school authorities didn't drag their feet, and after a few righteous opening remarks, they began the spirituality fit test.

The test was simple and only had three steps.

In the first step, the sentinels did not have to do anything, as the guides were let to choose their sentinels. Because guides had strong spiritual powers and a sixth sense, they were able to pick out spiritual powers that were similar to their own.

It was 600 guides against 1,000 sentinels, with each guide picking the one that best matched their spiritual attributes.

The second step was a precision test. After the Guides have chosen their sentinels, they have to go to a special magnetic chamber to test their spiritual compatibility.

In the third step, both partners have to reach an agreement. While the guide has the absolute say in the selection process, the sentinel may still decide to not be the guide's partner. The guide then makes a new selection, and a new round of the process is completed.

In general, however, for a sentinel to have a high level of spiritual compatibility with a guide was a rare occurrence.

As for those pairs whose fit is less than 75%, as well as those Sentinels who are not chosen, they need to go into the second round of selection.

Generally speaking, about 70% of guides will find a suitable sentinel after the first round, and 90% after the second round.

The rounds usually go on for five theories, but from the third round onwards, it's almost decided.

The Sentinels and Guides who had not found a partner by the end of five rounds would have to wait until the next year to continue or find a partner by themselves within the community.

When this explanation was finished, the principal coughed, "In that case, the guides may now use their mental powers to find their partners."

Guides have very strong control over their power and can have a sophisticated grasp of it even when many of them are using it at the same time. This was also one of the things that the Guide school emphasized. Otherwise, later on in battle, if many guides use their powers at the same time and one loses control, the consequences are unimaginable.

As soon as the principal's words fell, the group of guides in white robes closed their eyes and began to concentrate on using their mental energy to find their sentinels.

The principal looked around and his gaze stopped on Lei Yao, who had his eyes open, "Your Highness, won't you look?"

Lei Yao thought for a moment and said seriously, "There is no need. I had already looked before I got off the ship just now. "

Principal: "..."

Grand prince, when exactly did you look? Does that even count?

Forcing himself to cough calmly, the principal also put on a serious face, "Then did the Grand Prince gain anything?"

"It was a worthwhile trip."

The principal's eyes lit up. Does this mean there is something?!

"Your Highness the Grand Prince, I wonder who is fortunate enough to be able to match your spiritual power?"

Lei Yao glanced at the principal and suddenly smiled softly, "A unique person."

Bai Lixin had been hiding among the sentinels to secretly observe Lei Yao, and seeing his smile, although not directed at him, his chrysanthemums tightened again for some reason.

Bai Lixin wanted to cry. This new conditioned reflex of his was a disease, it had to be cured!

After about ten minutes, the guides opened their eyes, most of them with delighted expressions. Only a small number looked a little forlorn.

[S419M, is it possible for two or even more guides to pick the same sentinel?]

Such cases do occur, Lord Host. Such a situation would require a test of who has the best spiritual fit during the second step, but it is ultimately up to the Sentinel to choose who. [Oh, I get it.]

The Guides had begun to walk one by one to the Sentinels they had chosen. Guides were generally fair and delicate, and as fragile as women. But their spiritual power was so strong that it could shake a sentinel. In the eyes of the sentinels, the guides were undoubtedly the most mysterious and desirable of the third sex.

The guides were reserved but eager, and they moved towards the chosen sentinels. Lei Qi, who was the best looking of the guides, hesitated a little, and with a slight blush, he too stepped forward.

He walked steadily and quickly, stopping a moment later in front of Mo Shaojun. With his head held high, he handed over his hand and asked, "Will you be my sentinel?"

Yet Mo Shaojun hesitated for a moment, glancing in Mo Ye's direction before taking Lei Qi's hand and pressing a kiss on it, "My pleasure, Your Imperial Highness."

His elder brother seemed to have failed to be matched with a guide again this time, and Mo Shaojun's heart was worried. His eyes unconsciously glanced in Mo Ye's direction a few more times.

Lei Yao noticed his actions and made a point to remember Mo Shaojun as he walked toward Bai Lixin with a soldier's stride.

When the crowd saw the Grand Prince, Lei Yao, making a move, they could not help but stop their movements and look over. Every word and action of

member of the royal family would be widely watched by the crowd. Lei Yao graduated from the Guide School as a super genius, but his subsequent development was a big shock.

For the first three years after graduation, every year he would select sentinels to enter the Spiritual Fit Test, but every time he reached this point, the sentinels would suffer mental damage because they could not withstand his mental pressure.

For the next three years, Lei Yao only watched from afar and never selected sentinels again. In the last two years, he simply stopped stepping off the flying machine.

In the first three years, Lei Yao selected a total of six sentinels, each of whom took several months to recover.

So now, when people saw Lei Yao walking among the sentinels, there was a mixture of curiosity and gloating.

Who was the unlucky one to be picked up by the Grand Prince Lei Yao?

They wondered how long it would take for this unlucky man to recover this time.

The sentinels who had already been chosen breathed a sigh of relief, while those who had not were trembling.

Mo Shaojun's eyes followed Lei Yao's figure, his heart was curious. But when he saw Lei Yao standing in front of Mo Ye, his heart was no longer curious, only full of horror.

"Is it convenient to tell me your name?" Lei Yao stood in front of Bai Lixin, blocking out the sunlight that was in full bloom above.

Bai Lixin looked up at Lei Yao as the sunlight struck him from above, laying on his back and haloing him with a golden glow. He was slightly lost in thought, "Bai...oh I mean, Mo Ye."

Lei Yao gave a shallow nod and reached his hand out to Bai Lixin, his deep blue eyes looking fixedly at him as if he could look into the depths of his heart.

Lei Yao then said, word by word: "I, Lei Yao, wish to dedicate my soul and life to Sentinel Mo Ye and enter into a soul contract with him. From now on, I will stay with him for the rest of my life, and after my death, I will turn into a spirit to guard Mo Ye's side. Do you wish to enter into a soul contract with me? "

The people around them exploded when they heard the content of his words.

S419M hurriedly explained, [It is the soul contract of this world, an advanced contract that is more powerfully binding than the spiritual contract between a sentinel and a guide].

Bai Lixin nodded and was about to speak when he heard someone shout, "No!"

Mo Shaojun left Lei Qi's side as he hurried over to step between the two and snapped, "Brother Mo Ye, you can't agree to his request, it's too dangerous! With your low spiritual power, you simply can't withstand his spiritual power. "

Without waiting for Bai Lixin's reply, Mo Shaojun turned his head to look at Lei Yao and said, "Your Highness the Grand Prince, my brother simply cannot withstand your generosity. If you must find a sentinel this year, please sign a spirit contract with me. I rank first this year. My spiritual power is S-ranked and my physical body is SS-ranked. "

S419M explained it again to Bai Lixin, [The standards for determining attribute levels in this world are different from those of the system. They are one degree lower than the system. In other words, your soul attribute is S-rank and your physical attribute is SS-rank. If you use this world's instrument to determine, your spiritual power attribute will be SS-rank and your physical attribute will be SSS-rank. Lei Yao, on the other hand, has reached double SSS in both spiritual power and physical body attributes. "

Bai Lixin's eyes flashed, and he smiled as he walked out from behind Mo Shaojun.

He was about to open his mouth when he heard Lei Yao's voice coming from above his head, "Do you think I'm hungry and will eat any meal? To be my sentinel? Are you worthy of that? Are you here to insult me or Mo Ye? "

Bai Lixin raised his eyebrows. His lover in this world is not only powerful in mental power and physical attributes, but his mouth is not shallow either.

Mo Shaojun's face turned red, and he was speechless.

Bai Lixin saw this and patted Mo Shaojun's shoulder, "Thank you for your concern. But this is my life; please give me the space to think for myself. "

With these words, he turned and lowered his head to take Lei Yao's slightly calloused hand and put it to his mouth to send a sincere message, looking up to gaze at Lei Yao's blooming face with pale golden eyes, "I do."

The moment his words fell, a pure white light wrapped the two of them in it. Bai Lixin only felt his soul being pulled out of his physical body by a force, and at the same time, another, even larger soul wrapped itself around him. The soul was warm and strong, yet so gentle.

The soul that wrapped around Bai Lixin danced in the white circle for a while, and then Bai Lixin flew back into his body altogether.

[Ding, congrats to the host on gaining spiritual power enrichment; soul attributes increased by 10% to S rank]

The white light gradually dissipated, and Bai Lixin covered his chest, feeling the power filling it, and suddenly puffed out a laugh, "Thank you, Your Highness, the Grand Prince, for choosing me, a five-year repeater."

Lei Yao sighed, "When you say that, you remind me that I repeated a grade for the equivalent of eight years. Hey, I'm the one taking advantage of you. "

Bai Lixin choked. You are a dual 3S ability holder, who was taking advantage of who."

Mo Shaojun was originally a once-in-a-thousand-year genius in the Sentinel School, but, of course, there was still a big difference between a once-in-a-thousand-year genius and the eternally rare Lei Yao.

The principal originally thought that Lei Yao had liked Mo Shaojun, but to his surprise, he was half right. The prince had liked someone from the Mo family, but it wasn't the genius brother Mo Shaojun, but his untalented brother Mo Ye!

The principal covered his face; the image was so cruel that he couldn't bear to look at it.

"Imperial brother, this is your sentinel?" Lei Qi stepped forward with an indescribable lightness and pleasure in his tone. Lei Qi took the opportunity to enquire just now but found he was just a D-ranked ten-thousand-year-old sentinel. Lei Yao had picked such a sentry after eight years, and he didn't know what to think.

Lei Yao swept Bai Lixin into his arms naturally, "Yes."

Sentries were usually tall and imposing, but Mo Ye did not possess these characteristics. Instead, his appearance was more akin to that of a guide. With his slender build and fair, glowing skin, he stood there not like a warrior, but rather like a frail guide.

Lei Qi's tone was even lighter as he smoothly took Mo Shaojun's arm beside him and smiled coyly, "Imperial brother, this is my sentinel, Mo Shaojun, SS-ranked in physical ability."

Lei Qi and Lei Yao are half brothers. Lei Yao's mother died early, and the King of the Empire re-married a new queen who gave birth to Lei Qi.

Ever since he was a child, Lei Qi had been compared to Lei Yao, who stood like a mountain over his head that he was unable to climb over.

Lei Yao's dual SSS abilities were unprecedented, while Lei Qi only had a B level physical body and an SS mental ability, which was already amazing to ordinary people but compared to Lei Yao, it was simply worlds apart.

The comparison between the princes was not important, but this was about the battle for the throne. However, with Lei Yao's graduation, Lei Qi smiled for the first time in his life.

What was the use of a double 3S rank? Isn't it impossible to find a matching Sentinel?

God has made you so outstanding that you will be on top of the mountain all alone.

Long before they came to the Sentinel School, he had already taken a fancy to Mo Shaojun, who had SS-ranked physical attributes and S-ranked mental attribute abilities; his mental power was more powerful than that of a normal guide, and he was a bright and handsome-looking sentinel, making it easy to fall in love with him.

The moment Lei Yao stepped off the flying machine, he thought he was here to compete with him for Mo Shaojun's attention, which was why he set off early to get a head start.

But to his surprise, Lei Yao, who had always been boasted about, had chosen a hangdog who had repeated five years.

Sentinels are supposed to be strong and fierce, and the stronger the sentinel, the more courageous the bestial form will be. However, Mo Ye...

Glancing at Bai Lixin, Lei Qi let out a laugh.

Lei Yao glanced at Lei Qi without a trace and said, without raising an eyebrow, "You should know that Mo Shaojun begged me to take him as a sentinel just now, but I refused."

Lei Qi no longer felt like laughing when he heard this.

It was the principal who stepped in to break the awkward situation and seeing things moving in an increasingly unknown direction, he hurriedly raised his voice and said, "Since the guides have all picked their sentinels, then let each pair please go to the spirit testing room to test the spirit fit."

Putting down the microphone, the principal came to Bai Lixin and Lei Yao.

Glancing at Bai Lixin with a frown, the principal hesitantly asked Lei Yao, "Your Highness, Grand Prince, why don't you go for the test as well?"

The principal was asking Lei Yao, but Lei Yao looked at Bai Lixin and said, "Want to go?"

Bai Lixin nodded, "Why not? Let's go. "

Only then did Lei Yao turn to the principal, "Since Xiao Ye said he wants to go, we'll go. In the future, ask Little Ye directly about such matters; I'm just a messenger. "

The implication was that from now on, it would be Mo Ye's call on all matters between the two of them.

The principal was dazed by this answer, his eyes sweeping back and forth over the two of them several times before he nodded, "In that case, this way please."

The principal sighed in his heart.

The Grand Prince, Lei Yao, had always been the idol of the entire empire, a flower of the highest mountain. How could such a fine flower be swallowed by a pig?
