When the airplane finished its climb, the excitement of Justin Welan from the adjacent seat was hard to suppress as he looked at the boundless sea of clouds outside with gleaming eyes.

Suddenly he said, “Jack, do you think we might be attacked by missiles or something before the plane lands?”

“…Could you say something more pleasant?” Jack Clark was speechless.

Novice cultivators like them would be helpless if they encountered an airborne missile attack, even parachuting in low altitude wouldn’t guarantee a safe landing.

“Hehe… I’m just nervous,” Justin Welan let out a shy laugh.

Jack gave him a side glance, “First time on a plane, huh?”

“You make it sound as if you’ve been on a lot of flights before.”

Justin Welan rolled his eyes, “Now is not the same as fifty years ago, flying has become a dangerous mode of travel, no one would choose to fly unless necessary.”

“Alright, the flight is going to take a while, I’m going to get some sleep.”Jack Clark grinned, of course, he didn’t mention how he had once gotten sick on planes.

Jack closed his eyes, seemingly asleep but in fact, his consciousness sank and he turned into a Heavy Armored Beast, beginning his hunt of the day.

The growth of the Heavy Armored Beast literally depends on a lot of eating – as in the early days, the essence derived from the food turned into evolution values feeding its growth.

Therefore, during this period, the Heavy Armored Beast spends its time eating or traveling to eat, almost never returning to its lair during daylight, and only hiding in the muddy riverbed after eating its fill.

Similarly, under this circumstance, Jack was busy yet fulfilled, spending half of his daily energy here.

The majority of the long flight, barring meal times, Jack appeared to be ‘sleeping’, making Justin Welan quite envious.

He too wanted to be this calm.

Boom! Boom!!

Jack was startled awake by a sudden roar, no sooner had he opened his eyes, he noticed some panic inside the cabin.

At the cabin door, flight attendants were hurriedly calling out, “Everyone stay calm, don’t panic, we have only encountered a group of normal mutated birds.” “Quiet!”

Just then, a low roar that echoed throughout the cabin managed to calm the shaken students.

Standing at the cabin door, Lori Parma from First Class solemnly told them, “As cultivators, you must stay calm while disasters befall, and remain keen to your surroundings.”

“What does it tell if you lose your composure without even knowing what’s going on?”

Bang! Bang!

As Lori was lecturing them, Jack saw missiles hung under the wings of the plane being blasted off and machine guns underneath the cabin roaring continuously, the recoil making the plane shake slightly.

Boom! At that moment, a violent vibration erupted abruptly.

Even Lori couldn’t help but frown, “They even had to use the energy cannon.”

Fortunately, a few minutes later the roaring machine guns gradually ceased and all the students received the news that the group of mutated birds had been completely wiped out.

“That was thrilling,” Justin Welan trembled with excitement.

Jack shook his head, “Sure it’s thrilling, but it’s really irritating to have no control over my own safety.”

Over the following hour, they encountered several more attacks from ordinary mutated birds. It seemed that there were many mutated animals in the area through which the plane was flying.

After passing through that area, there was no more trouble, and after three more hours of flight, they arrived at their destination above Lester City.

They had set off a little after ten in the morning, and due to the time difference, it was evening when they arrived in Lester, where the temperature was slightly lower than in Mist River.

Looking down from the airplane, they could see the city below was full of scars, many places had turned into ruins, buildings had collapsed, and roads had been damaged.

As the plane landed on the runway, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and began to exit the plane one by one.This was a somewhat rundown airport, not very large, the distant tower building gave off a worn feel of several decades past.

By the runway, a band of soldiers attired in black combat uniforms were already waiting.

Lori Parma and his two other teacher colleagues went to them. Parma, dressed in a Second Lieutenant’s uniform, spoke quietly with one of the sergeants while Jack Clark and his student peers waited at some distance.

The idle Jack Clark swept his gaze over the desolate airport, then let it fall on the submachine guns and rifles in the hands of these soldiers.

These guns were a bit different from the regular firearms – bigger caliber, longer body, and the entire gun coated in a metallic sheen, it was apparent at a glance that it was quite heavy, with immense destructive power.

Besides that, Jack Clark could also detect from these soldiers the vibe of the First Layer Heaven cultivators.

However, unlike them – the students, the soldiers’ Qi Blood feel was more steady, profound, their ten-odd men blending together as if a single individual, not as lively as them.

At this moment, Lori Parma walked over to them and spoke solemnly, “Everyone line up, collect your weapons and battle armor, then go to the room over there and put on your gear.”

“Yes.”

Jack Clark’s gaze turned intense, they actually had to put on their battle armor right after getting off the plane, could it be that the situation here was more severe than he had anticipated?

Queuing up, Jack Clark quickly received his long knife and a suitcase.

In the boys’ room near the airport, Jack Clark opened the suitcase, a black-red folded armor suddenly appeared before his eyes.

Following the instructions, Jack Clark started to put on the special steel wire-made pants and fixed the thin but firm alloy around his thighs, kneecaps, and calves.

Then came the chest armor, besides the joints, light alloy covered his front chest, back, shoulders, and arms as well. Lastly, specialty gloves and metal battle boots.

The last piece was a science fiction-like helmet, fully made of reinforced alloy, still black and red with ballistic glasses around the eye area.

As soon as the students put on this gear, their disposition greatly changed, carried a solemn air about them, like some super soldiers from the future.

Justin Welan, holding his helmet, came over beside Jack Clark and started showing off, “Jack, don’t I look cool?”

Jack Clark nodded, “Not bad, looking somewhat human.”

“What do you mean by somewhat human, this is total awe-inspiring dominance.” Justin Welan was not convinced.

Standing one meter eighty-five tall, Justin Welan wearing the full set of armor looked broad and wide. If he puts on the helmet, there would be no sign of him being a 16-year-old adolescent.

Jack Clark was likewise, his physique improved continuously along with the cultivation, diet, and nutrition during the past two months. His height had already reached one meter eighty-two.

However, compared to the tougher Justin Welan, Jack Clark was just a touch more evenly built, upright and tail, a perfect golden inverted triangle.

At this time, after putting on the black and red armor he looked gallant and handsome, stepping out made the few fellow female students’ eyes lit up.

Noticing the gaze of those female students, Justin Welan showed a mournful expression, “Jack, I have a feeling I will need to keep my distance from you whenever we go out.”

“Why is that?” Jack Clark, with the long knife at his back, was puzzled.

“There’s no why, it’s a man’s choice.”

Jack Clark was speechless, “What kind of gibberish is that.”

With that, he glanced at his classmates, each of them had got weapons like a long sword, pole, etc strapped on their backs. There were some special weapons as well.

For instance, the Spiked Shield on Justin Welan’s back that’s wider and taller than a person, Howard Lee had a ‘pillar’ strapped on his back that’s as thick as a thigh and three meters long.

Lori Parma looked at the fully equipped group, speaking solemnly, “The Federation’s earlier attack has completely destroyed the road between this airport and Lester city- it still hasn’t been repaired.”

“We’re the first batch of freshmen from the Martial Arts School sent for aid, now we have to travel more than ten kilometers on foot crossing that destroyed section of the road, there’s a troop-transport vehicle waiting on the other side.”

“At present, the situation in Lester city has not completely stabilized, the federal forces only control the urban region, there are still small bands of rebels resisting in other areas.”

“Therefore we might encounter attacks later, it’s best if everyone puts on their helmets to avoid any accidents, understood?”

“Understood..”
