High Martial Arts: Liver Becomes the Master of the Universe

Chapter 77 The League Begins

At the very front of the group stood a dozen or so mentors.

Leading the group was Professor Gu Yue, an "old acquaintance" of Qin Feng.

He wasn't wearing his usual research clothes today, but rather a crisp instructor's uniform, his expression solemn.

Qin Feng didn't know most of the other mentors.

Despite the large number of people in the square, their discipline was surprisingly good.

The students spontaneously maintained an orderly queue, and even when talking to acquaintances, they deliberately lowered their voices, demonstrating extremely high personal qualities.

The entire square was solemn, yet it also exuded a tense atmosphere of impending battle.

Just then, a low hum came from the horizon.

hum - hum - hum -

Everyone looked up at the same time.

Above them, a massive black shadow was breaking through the clouds at an astonishing speed completely disproportionate to its enormous size, rapidly approaching the plaza.

It was a flying shuttle.

A colossal vessel brimming with futuristic, sci-fi aesthetics.

Its shape is perfectly streamlined, with a long hull that is over 300 meters long. The outer shell is made of a dark alloy that can absorb radar waves and reflects a cold metallic luster in the sunlight.

On both sides of the ship, several huge psionic engines spewed pale blue flames, propelling the giant ship to hover steadily above the plaza.

Planetary-class Type I transport shuttle.

Using high-purity psionic ore as its core energy source, it is specifically designed for large-scale, high-efficiency transportation of personnel or supplies across planetary surfaces.

"My God... that's so cool!"

Qian Duoduo looked up, her eyes filled with longing, "I wish I could own a shuttle like this someday."

"Is this a planetary-level shuttle?"

Shi Potian asked.

"Yes, type I."

Qian Duoduo immediately switched to "intelligence popularization" mode.

"The ship in front of us is a planetary-class I vessel, primarily used for transport. It is enormous and incredibly fast, but it only possesses some of the most basic self-defense firepower."

"The next level up is the Planetary II type. Those shuttles are smaller, but they are purely designed for combat, and are equipped with a large number of psionic main cannons and electromagnetic railguns."

"As for the top-tier Planetary III type, it can no longer be called a 'shuttle'. It is a mobile 'space military base' that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of Star Force soldiers and can carry hundreds or thousands of Type I and Type II shuttles."

He paused.

"Even the most ordinary, civilian-use flying shuttle that can only carry a few people starts at one million Imperial coins. A Planetary Type I like the one used by the school is worth at least hundreds of millions. As for the Type II and Type III, which have powerful combat capabilities, they cannot be bought with money alone; they are strategic weapons strictly controlled by the Empire."

"after all,"

He lowered his voice, "An ordinary person, just by sitting in the cockpit of a Planetary II shuttle, can easily destroy a hive city in a few minutes by moving their fingers and pressing a few buttons."

Qin Feng listened quietly.

The empire will carry out various adaptations and modifications on the planets it has just conquered, and then build hive cities. It takes thousands or even tens of thousands of years for a hive city to develop into a planetary metropolitan area.

Qimingxing, where Qin Feng is located, is an urban area.

However, hives and metropolitan areas are only different in terms of social hierarchy. In terms of scale, hives are extremely large, with some large hives even occupying one-tenth of the surface of a planet.

An ordinary person piloting a Planet II-class aircraft could destroy such a massive hive city with the flick of a finger... "Is this what a psionic weapon is?"

Qin Feng was filled with emotion.

At this moment, Professor Gu Yue's voice, amplified by the loudspeaker, clearly resonated throughout the entire square.

"Attention, everyone! Board the ship in order of grade! First-year high school students, first floor; second-year high school students, second floor; third-year high school students, third floor! Maintain discipline and no noise!"

"Yes!"

Thousands of students responded in unison.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
The moment the words were spoken, all the students sprang into action.

Their movements were perfectly synchronized, without the slightest crowding or chaos. They formed three streams of people and quickly entered their respective cabins through the traction beams descending from the shuttles.

Qin Feng mingled in the crowd, his eyes filled with curiosity, but more so with scrutiny and contemplation.

"No wonder the school strictly prohibits students from using high-powered psionic weapons when carrying out missions. These things can indeed give an ordinary person terrifying destructive power in a short period of time, and it's too easy to become dependent on them."

"but……"

Qin Feng thought to himself, "If one can reach a high level in martial arts cultivation, its power will surely be countless times more terrifying than these spiritual energy weapons. Otherwise, the empire would not have spent so much resources to promote martial arts so vigorously."

The records he had seen in history textbooks and online came to mind.

"Putting aside everything else, if a martial artist can reach the 'planetary level,' they can traverse the vacuum of space with their bare body, shatter asteroids, and even destroy stars with their physical bodies. If they reach the 'stellar level,' their power can even extinguish a star. Not to mention, above that, there are the 'galaxy level' and 'black hole level' martial artists guarding the Great Wall of the Empire's borders, each with their own fists, slaying billions of alien races..."

Amidst his racing thoughts, Qin Feng had already entered the spacious and bright first-floor cabin.

The shuttle's interior is extremely spacious; even with thousands of new students inside, it doesn't feel crowded at all.

He found a seat by the window and sat down. The shuttle began to slowly rise into the air and accelerate.

Through the huge porthole, the entire Qiming No.1 High School campus, and even the distant Qiming metropolitan area, can be seen.

Countless towering skyscrapers, like a steel forest, and between them, thousands of ships and civilian shuttles of various sizes, like schools of glowing fish, shuttle back and forth on fixed waterways.

Looking at the scene before him, Qin Feng felt his heart expand and he felt a sense of exhilaration and pride.

He couldn't help but mutter to himself softly:
"A thousand buildings are ablaze with fire, ten thousand ships shuttle back and forth..."

"Giant towers dance in silver armor, magnificent buildings race with golden light..."

Just as Qin Feng was engrossed in his work, a hand reached out and offered him an energy bar.

"Old Qin, what are you muttering about? So literary. Come on, want something to eat? To replenish your energy."

It's all about money.

After two months of rigorous martial arts training, Qian Duoduo is no longer as fat as before; instead, he is strong and robust, resembling a bear.

"Haha, where did you get these energy bars?"

Qin Feng smiled, took the energy bar, and chatted with Little Fatty and Shi Potian next to him.

The shuttle was very fast.

The scenery below rushed past.

After about half an hour, the shuttle hovered in the air, and Instructor Gu Yue gave the students the command to leave the shuttle.

At Professor Gu Yue's command, thousands of students disembarked from the shuttle in an orderly fashion.
