42Chapter 42 Arrival at Tianhai City
When everyone stepped into the soul guide train, they were once again shocked by the scene before them.
The inner walls of the carriage are made of top-grade soul guide alloy, emitting a faint blue glow.
The leather seats are embroidered with the Federation emblem, and each seat is equipped with a small soul guide screen and emergency protection device.
Long Chen touched the seat carefully, as if afraid of getting it dirty.
"Brother Lu." He leaned close to Lu Jun and lowered his voice very low. "Tell me the truth, are you the heir of a hidden family?"
Lu Jun rubbed his temple helplessly:
"If I say I'm from the Leng family, would you believe me?"
In the future, he should inherit Leng Yaozhu's position.
So there should be nothing wrong with saying that I am from the Leng family?
After all, the Leng family can be considered an old family in the Chuanling Tower, only inferior to the Qiangu family.
"Is this true?!"
Long Chen was so excited that he almost jumped up.
"Fake." Lu Jun immediately extinguished Long Chen's expectations and found a seat. "If I were from the Leng family, I should call you Leng Jun, not Lu Jun."
"Forehead..."
Long Chen's expression instantly collapsed, like a balloon that had been popped.
He slumped his shoulders and muttered:
"Brother Lu, you're kidding me. But isn't it a bit too much to ask the Federation to personally escort us?"
"We shouldn't be that important in the eyes of the Federation, right?"
"That's what you think. We are unimportant, but Lu Jun should be quite important. At least the Federation is very optimistic about him."
Gu Yuena had also quietly sat next to Lu Jun and whispered.
"Someone doesn't want us to reach Tianhai City safely. These arrangements are just a warning to the enemy in the dark."
Her purple eyes narrowed slightly, and her voice became a little colder.
"If you want to take action, first consider whether you are qualified."
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly fell into silence.
The train started slowly, and the mechas took off at the same time, forming a guard formation to protect the train in the center.
Through the panoramic sunroof, you can see the black mecha cruising at a higher altitude, with its soul guide cannon ready to fire at any time.
Lu Jun looked at the scenery rapidly receding outside the window and silently withdrew his gaze.
No one should dare to attack them this time.
Practice.
…
As the soul guide train slowly stopped at Tianhai City Central Station, Lu Jun looked out the window and witnessed the splendor of the largest city on the East Coast for the first time.
Tianhai City in the sunlight is like a pearl inlaid on the blue coastline, and the towering soul guide towers sparkle with metallic luster in the sunlight.
The most shocking thing is the boundless blue sea. Looking from the station exit, the whole city seems to be floating on the sea. Dozens of giant warships are anchored in the harbor in the distance, and the black muzzles are shining coldly in the sun.
"That's the home port of the Federation's Seventh Fleet." The teacher pointed to the largest battleship in the distance and introduced it to the students, his tone filled with pride. "It's 480 meters long and equipped with 36 level 9 fixed-mount soul guide cannons. It's the most advanced ship in the world..."
As a supreme ice spirit master, Lu Jun could clearly sense the strong fluctuations of water elements in the air. This city was a holy place for water spirit masters to cultivate.
It can be considered a suitable place for him to practice.
As soon as I got out of the station, I saw a team of officials from Tianhai City who had been waiting for a long time.
The leading man, upon seeing the teacher leading the team, also stepped forward and saluted: "Welcome everyone from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, I am from the Tianhai City Administrative Residence..."
His words were suddenly interrupted by a commotion. The area surrounding the station was filled with onlookers, and a dozen reporters, armed with soul-guided cameras, were desperately pushing their way forward.
"Look! It's the geniuses from Sun Moon Academy!"
"That silver-haired girl is so beautiful!"
"And the boy in white is also very handsome."
"I heard they're going to challenge Shrek Academy this time!"
A female reporter wearing glasses broke through the security line and thrust the microphone directly in front of Lu Jun:
"Classmates! As representatives of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, are you confident that you can defeat the continent's number one academy, Shrek Academy, in the exhibition match?"
Before Lu Jun could speak, the security guards competently drove the reporters away.
"Sorry, the locals seem a little... too enthusiastic towards you." The man said apologetically.
"That's a good thing, too." The team leader nodded, then subconsciously asked, "By the way, is the Shrek Academy team just as lively here?"
"Well, from what I know... Shrek seems to be even more lively than yours..."
As soon as the man said this, the officials beside him twitched their eyes.
You really know how to stir up trouble.
The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and Shrek Academy are inherently incompatible, and both want to step on the other in every aspect.
Wouldn't you provoke their anger by saying this?
"Yeah?"
As expected, the teacher in charge's face turned cold and he snorted unhappily.
"After the exhibition match, I believe everyone will understand which academy is truly the number one academy on the continent."
The security guards also hurriedly cleared a passage, and under the pursuit of countless flash lights, everyone quickly boarded the soul guide luxury car that had been waiting for a long time.
The convoy drove along the coastline for about twenty minutes and finally stopped in front of a uniquely shaped building.
The hotel is like a giant shell half embedded in the sea. It is built entirely with transparent soul-guided glass, reflecting dreamy colors under the sunset.
"The Sea Pearl Hotel," the man leading the group introduced, "is one of the landmark buildings in Tianhai City. Normally, reservations are required at least in advance, but we use it exclusively to entertain distinguished guests."
When Lu Jun and his students entered the hotel, they were amazed by the decoration in the lobby.
The ground is made of transparent crystal glass, and below is the blue sea, with various sea beasts and fish swimming under your feet.
When checking in, a three-meter-long great white shark swam right under Lu Jun's feet, scaring Long Chen so much that he jumped onto the sofa.
"Hahahaha, don't worry. They occasionally come to join in the fun and enjoy the prosperity of human cities." The leading man smiled and explained after seeing Long Chen was frightened. "After all, we have to protect the natural environment and live in harmony with the soul beasts. Don't worry, everything will be fine."
This undoubtedly made Long Chen's face flush red.
No one else was scared, only he had such a big reaction.
It's so embarrassing!
"Everyone, please stay on the top floor." The receptionist handed over the door card with a sweet smile. "Each room has a sea view terrace, where you can enjoy the most beautiful sunrise."
After the elevator reached the top floor, everyone was shocked again. There were floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides of the corridor, and the blue sea and blue sky could be seen.
The seven suites allocated to them are arranged in a fan shape, each with its own curved terrace extending out to the sea.
Lu Jun opened the door of his room and the sea breeze immediately blew towards him.
The main colors of his room are blue and white. The bed faces the floor-to-ceiling window, and outside the window is the boundless sea.
As you approach the terrace, you can clearly hear the sound of waves hitting the building's pillars, as if the entire hotel is breathing with the ocean.
"not bad."
Lu Jun sighed softly.
Viewed from this height, the fleet in the distance became the size of a toy, and farther on the horizon, the setting sun was dyeing the clouds golden red.
Practicing in this environment is not much different from having a dedicated practice room. This unique sea hotel was also built at a huge cost.
Not bad, not bad at all.
"Brother Lu, I'm a little hungry. There's a buffet here. Do you want to go down and eat something later?"
Long Chen rushed in excitedly and said to Lu Jun.
Lu Jun looked at the time and found that it was already noon.
"Alright."
The urge to practice was suppressed, and Lu Jun went down with Long Chen to try out what delicious food was available at the buffet.
As soon as he went downstairs and arrived at the cafeteria that provided buffet food, Lu Jun saw a familiar figure eating heartily at the table, which made his pupils suddenly contract.
