All-out: Starting with the Awakening Special Operations Unit, search, attack, and withdrawal.

"You lot are the most talented and resilient young people I've ever seen... Go for it! There's a brighter future for you in Xialong Base City!"

Huangshan Base City, in front of the Pioneers Guild square.

Before a towering pagoda, its material resembling white marble and shimmering with white light, Jiang Xingdong's cloudy old eyes gazed at the four young figures before him, a hint of reminiscence flashing in his eyes.

The teleportation tower has been completed.

From this day forward, he officially becomes a retired former city lord.

Fortunately, the newly appointed city lord of Huangshan Base City was none other than Lei Xiao, one of his former students and the captain of the Lei Kai team who had previously come to support Huangshan Base City.

Lei Xiao stood beside Jiang Xingdong, his expression solemn and serious.

Lei Xiao, now the lord of a city, is no longer the captain who only needed to manage the team and take care of the team members. He is clearly trying to change his identity.

As if he had been prepared, he pulled a box out of his pocket.

"Previously, in order to protect the base city's secret realm [Thunderhorn Lizardman Tribe] from being destroyed by the scum of the Black Hole Council, you took the lead and generously offered up the precious secret realm information that you could have kept for yourself. Before stepping down, my teacher submitted an application for commendation to the Pioneer Headquarters."

The moment Lei Xiao opened the small box, Chu Hong and the other three were instantly shocked upon seeing what was inside.

Song Jiao'er, in particular, covered her mouth in excitement.

Song Ming, who had also come to see off several people, gasped when he saw what was in the box.

"This is... the Medal of Faith?!"

Inside the small box, carefully placed, was a bronze medal depicting a human figure with outstretched arms in a gesture of protection and sacrifice.

Jiang Xingdong looked regretful and sighed softly, "I applied for the Silver Medal of Faith. Considering how Chu single-handedly dealt with several full-strength teams from the Black Hole Council that day, it should have been approved..."

Lei Xiao stood to the side, speechless.

"Teacher, even I don't have a Silver Medal of Faith..."

"It's your problem if you don't have that. Can't you reflect on yourself? What were you doing when you were Chu's age? Back then, you'd be terrified of the Black Hole Council!"

Jiang Xingdong looked displeased, while Lei Xiao, upon hearing these words, nervously and embarrassedly looked around.

"Teacher, you... I'm a city lord now, at least give me some face..."

Then, when Jiang Xingdong looked at Chu Hong again, his aged face was full of satisfaction and pride. He took the medal out of the small box and, in front of everyone, personally pinned it on Chu Hong's chest.

"Don't underestimate this seemingly worthless little gold medal. It can actually give you a good start in Xialong Base City... The medal has a specific number. With this medal, you can apply for a six-month squad base in Xialong Base City for free."

"In addition, you can participate in the Pioneers Guild's collectible auction once a month... which will include red-quality collectibles."

Chu Hong's pupils contracted slightly. Upon hearing about the benefits of these two medals, he looked at the old man in front of him with shock.

Is it a coincidence?

It just so happens that the privileges of this medal perfectly match his current needs, or perhaps...

[Item Name]: Bronze Road Access Medal

[Item Level]: Gold

Value: 100,000

[Type]: Synthetic Medal

【Weight】: 0.3kg

[Occupies backpack slot capacity]: 1×1

[Item Description]: A product synthesized outside the secret realm. Used to reward heroes who possess courage and a spirit of sacrifice.

After pinning the medal on Chu Hong, he straightened Chu Hong's collar. The bronze Tongtu Medal seemed to gleam with a golden luster under the sunlight.

At the center of the medal, the ruby ​​set in the figure's chest shines dazzlingly bright.

Chu Hong bowed deeply to Jiang Xingdong with utmost respect.

"Thank you, Lord City Lord. I will certainly not let you down!"

Lei Xiao, standing next to Jiang Xingdong, opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately held back.

Watching the figures of the group disappear completely from sight after a brief burst of white light from the teleportation tower in front of him, Lei Xiao couldn't help but sigh.

"Hey kid, can't you even see what you're thinking, teacher?"

Jiang Xingdong shook his head, a hint of disappointment in his aged eyes, but then he smiled smugly.

"Well, this old man really doesn't have anything left to teach him these days..."

Lei Xiao was somewhat unwilling: "Teacher, don't worry, I've already had someone inquire about the [Guan Sheng Di Jun Statue] within the Pioneers Guild. Although the drop rate of this item in [Ghost Town] is low, there's still hope."

Jiang Xingdong glanced at him sideways. This student was filial, but sometimes it seemed like his brain was all muscle.

"What? Does our Lord Lei Xiao City have more authority than this old man who used to be a city lord? I couldn't even get it done with my application, but you can?"

Lei Xiao: "..."

It's good that Chu Hong didn't become an apprentice. If he really had a junior brother, how much would he, as the senior brother, be disliked?

......

Inside the portal was a pure white, enclosed space.

It's like a pure white carriage without windows, where you can't feel the movement.

At this moment, besides Chu Hong, Song Jiao'er, Wang Suming, and Luo Xin, there were several other people in twos and threes. Everyone seemed to be under a spell, unable to move.

They could only watch helplessly as a flash of white light appeared around them, and one "wooden man" after another materialized out of thin air.

The train car was almost entirely occupied by people standing around it.

Then, after the white light burst forth, the view returned to normal.

Chu Hong and his companions were surprised to find themselves in a huge, completely unfamiliar place.

The teleportation tower that was the only one in Huangshan Base City was now densely packed in front of Chu Hong and the others.

Standing out like stars scattered across the sky, Chu Hong and the others could clearly feel the energy fluctuations in the air amidst the hazy white light, which were no less intense than those in the secret realm.

As Chu Hong and the others looked into the distance through the towering white teleportation towers, they were once again stunned speechless by the scene before them.

At this moment, the "Xialong Base City Teleportation Station" where they are should be located in a depression somewhere.

Looking up, one can clearly see most of the Xialong base city.

Leaving aside the towering buildings that stretched as far as the eye could see, such as skyscrapers, when Chu Hong and his companions looked up at the sky above Xia Long Base City...

Everyone gasped in shock.

"Holy crap! That's Suspended Dragon City!? I could only see it in videos and news before, I never imagined it would be so spectacular in real life!" Wang Suming's face flushed with excitement.

This period was definitely the happiest time for the King's parents.

My son, whom I hadn't had high hopes for, actually got into the Dragon Roar Holy Academy, the top pioneer energy academy in the Great Xia Dynasty!

The two, who had previously planned to practice playing the trumpet, recently abandoned the idea because of this.

Chu Hong's gaze was fixed on the three towering, three-tiered cities floating above the Xialong base city.

Dragon Roar Academy.

It was right there in the Suspended Dragon City...
