Soul Land IV - The Ultimate Combat

Chapter 25 - Spacecraft

Lan Xiao and Nan Cheng had booked the tickets for a vacation a long time ago. It was considered a rare opportunity for them to go on a trip, they had stayed on their mother planet ever since they were young and they moved over to the Heaven Luo planet after getting married. They had never visited the Heaven Dou Planet.

Since it was the first planet that was chosen for humans to migrate to, it holds significant importance to the history of mankind. They wanted to visit and have a tour around the first planet developed out of their homeland to see how far it had gone.

"Mom, will we be sitting inside the spacecraft soon?" Lan Xuanyu sat in the car and pulled onto his mother's sleeves excitedly.

Nan Cheng looked at her son's large eyes, she then giggled and replied, "Silly boy, this is the sixth time you've asked me this question. Yes, yes. We will be boarding soon and we will be sitting in the spacecraft in a while and then, you will be able to witness the vast space around us."

"Oh yeah, that's awesome!" Lan Xuanyu shouted out enthusiastically.

Lan Xiao turned back and took a loving glance at his son. As he grew older, Lan Xuanyu had turned from an extremely adorable baby to a young lady-killer. Especially with his pair of large eyes. Apparently, as Lan Xuanyu grew older, his pair of black eyes had been laced with a tinge of purple. His crystal clear eyes looked as though it was able to reflect the entire world as he blinked his long eyelashes. It was a look of someone that would be adored by everyone, no matter where he was.

Finally, the Spirit Guidance flying car arrived at its destination; the aviation base located in Zi Luo city. They had to make a stopover at Zi Luo city to board a Spirit Guidance plane towards Heaven Luo Planet's capital, the Heaven Luo City to get to the spacecraft that would take them to the Heaven Dou Planet.

At present, only the capital, the Heaven Luo City had the capabilities of sending vehicles into space. Moreover, there were very few flights that required early reservations.

Lan Xuanyu had some experience in terms of sitting in a spirit guidance plane while he was travelling with his parents around the Heaven Luo Planet to sightsee. He was anticipating his ride with the spacecraft since to this generation of children, every single child wanted to go to space.

Three hours later, the plane smoothly landed in the heart of Heaven Luo City's airport. They had another half an hour ride through the flying car until they reached the vast Main Space Flight Center.

The entire center was constructed and decorated in white with a gigantic metal wall that acted as a large screen that projected some various images.

"Woah! Mom, is that a battleship?" Upon seeing those images, Lan Xuanyu jumped up in excitement.

Nan Cheng bent down and placed a finger over her lips. "Shhh, Xuanyu, lower your voice. You shouldn't make too much noise in public, it is the most basic of behaviors. We cannot disturb others!"

"En, en. I got it, but mom, are those battleships!?" Lan Xuanyu lowered his volume but his tone still had that same sense of eagerness.

Nan Cheng raised her head and looked towards the screen. On the screen was a backdrop of the endless starry sky with a swarm of silver spacecrafts at its forefront, traveling in line with each other despite their varying sizes. The largest one resembled a fortress with many other smaller battleships that surrounded and protected it.

"Yes, son. Those are battleships. Check the units on those ships, they should be the federation's newly launched Fourth Galactic Battle Group," Lan Xiao clarified.

"Dad, that's awesome! When I grow up, I want to pilot a battleship, ok?" Lan Xuanyu tugged onto Lan Xiao's sleeves repeatedly with an endless sense of excitement.
