Chapter 375: Subduing Everyone

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
In the vast starry space.
The area ahead was completely empty, with no spirit lifeforms in sight. Sighs of relief could be heard within the flying shuttle.
“How fortunate.”
“We finally escaped!”
“We are going to be safe now!”
…
Inside the Flowerfruit Mountain Space Shuttle, everyone began to chatter in excitement. All of them felt joyful for having escaped the calamity.
Those spirit lifeforms earlier were simply like a gigantic sea that wanted to engulfed everything. Their numbers caused despair to arise in the hearts of everyone.
Finally, they saw a chance to flee and survive.
Numerous gazes turned to the figure in the lead as looks of being impressed could be seen on their faces.
If it wasn’t for Feng Lin being so decisive, it wouldn’t be possible for them to escape. They might truly have died there.
When they thought back to it, all of them felt a lingering fear.
Feng Lin hadn’t completely relaxed. He pointed to the back of the flying shuttle. “Don’t be happy too early, look behind us.”
Everyone turned their heads back and a moment later, waves of shock filled their hearts. Countless spirit lifeforms gathered together, forming a torrent. Their numbers were countless.
From afar, that spirit black hole was truly like a bottomless pit. It kept dividing itself to create spirit bodies to chase after them.
Behind the flying shuttle, a long trail of spirit lifeforms formed again. It seemed impossible to shake them off no matter what.
“Quick, quick, quick. Hurry up and flee!” the freshmen shouted in shock. They were afraid of being surrounded by the spirit lifeforms again.
In truth, they didn’t need to say anything at all.
Feng Lin had long made his preparations. “A.I. enter the wormhole.”
“Yes, captain!” replied the A.I. instantly. A rumbling sound could be heard, and the energy in the flying shuttle was instantly consumed by over 20% as it flew into a wormhole tunnel.
The surrounding space twisted as countless stars flitted by them.
“That’s great, we can return to the university after three hours.”
“After entering the wormhole, those spirit lifeforms would no longer be able to catch up to us.”
“We have truly escaped!”
…
The moment they entered the wormhole, those spirit lifeforms vanished without a trace. It seemed like they had successfully shaken them off their tails.
And given how vast the universe was, it was probably impossible for the spirit lifeforms to find them. They would be able to return to the university in three more hours.
And no matter how fierce the spirit race was, they wouldn’t dare to get near the university.
Even for that fearsome spirit black hole that devoured the instructor, if it dared get near the university, the powerful human experts would instantly shatter it into pieces.
“Many thanks, Feng Lin. If it weren’t for you, we would surely not be able to escape today.”
“After returning to the university, we will pay our gratitude!”
“In the past when you became the captain, I was a little unhappy. But now, I am truly convinced.”
“Luckily, you are the captain or we might really have died here today!”
….
The freshmen heaved a sigh of relief.
Earlier, although Feng Lin took first place on the newbie board and became a captain, not many people were convinced by him.
But now, there were no questions about his qualifications at all.
The truth was before their eyes.
He first took the lead and domineeringly killed the spirit lifeforms. He even came up with a plan to explode their flying shuttle to seize an opportunity to escape.
Such decisiveness wasn’t something ordinary people were capable of.
Only now did they realize that there was a reason why Feng Lin was at the top for such a long time, and yet Donghuang Taichu and Augustus couldn’t catch up to him.
However, when faced with the thanks of his fellow classmates, Feng Lin was frowning. He didn’t say anything, but a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face. “We’ve escaped?”
He seemed to have sensed something and continued, “Flying shuttle, exit the wormhole immediately!”
“What? Immediately exit from the wormhole?!”
“What are you trying to do? Are you trying to kill us all?”
“You can’t do this!”
…
The moment Feng Lin spoke, sounds of objections rang out.
The expressions of the freshmen all drastically changed.
However, they weren’t the ones to decide things.
One must know that this flying shuttle belonged to Feng Lin.
“There’s no room for discussion. This is an order.” Feng Lin couldn’t be bothered to waste time speaking nonsense with them. “A.I. exit the wormhole!”
“No…” A group of people rushed over, wanting to stop him.
However, things were too late. The A.I. had already responded.
“The wormhole is open, commencing exit!”
A tunnel appeared in the wormhole ahead of them. One could already see the astral rivers of the external universe outside.
“Feng Lin, we have only been in the wormhole for less than ten minutes, what are you trying to do?”
“If the spirit lifeforms catch up to us, you won’t be able to live too. This flying shuttle would be destroyed as well!”
“What evil schemes do you have in your heart exactly?”
…
All the freshmen were completely puzzled.
Could this Feng Lin be a traitor?
But this shouldn’t be so. If he really was one, there was no need for him to bring up the suggestion of exploding the shuttle to save the other students.
There were too many puzzling secrets within which made them unable to understand.
Feng Lin didn’t explain because the answer was right before their eyes.
The wormhole opened, and just when the flying shuttle was about to exit, the space in the surroundings trembled.
Ang!
A powerful energy wave gushed over, and a particle storm manifested all of a sudden.
The freshmen couldn’t say anything more. All of a sudden, in the depths of the wormhole before them, a gigantic spirit whale appeared. It howled and directly rushed over.
“Not good, increase speed and exit the wormhole immediately!” Feng Lin shouted. Huge blasts of flames shot out from the back of the flying shuttle as its speed instantly increased.
But even so, it was still a bit too slow.
The gigantic spirit whale ruthlessly headbutted over, and the impact caused Feng Lin and the others to feel that their world was spinning.
A howl of reluctance could be heard. They managed to exit the wormhole in the end.
Also, because they had stayed in the wormhole for ten minutes, they managed to save roughly about ten light-years worth of distance to the university.
In the real world, no matter how fast something was, nothing could surpass light speed.
If the spirit lifeforms wanted to search for them, they would undoubtedly need a huge amount of time to do so.
“The degree of destruction to the flying shuttle is at 32.2%”
The flying shuttle finally managed to stabilize itself and reported a figure.
“Send out the robots to repair it!” Feng Lin commanded. He turned his head and stared at those students who finally managed to climb to their feet after the impact. He calmly continued, “Now, you all should know why I had to exit the wormhole, right?”
“This…” Many freshmen were still feeling fear.
How dangerous.
The shuttle was almost shattered into pieces.
Only now did they understand that Feng Lin had anticipated this.
“The members of the spirit race are energy lifeforms. Once they grow into a gigantic beast, they would have the ability to enter the wormhole and attack their targets. By entering into a wormhole, we can only flee from those spirit octopuses, but if the time we took is too long, the spirit giant beasts would surely chase. We can only enter wormholes for short periods and exit it constantly, hastening our journey bit by bit. We cannot afford to stay too long in the wormholes, maybe only about ten minutes at most or our tracks would be discovered by the spirit giant beasts. Next time, we might no longer be so lucky,” said Feng Lin coldly.
So this was the case!
Everyone felt a sense of lingering fear. If it weren’t for Feng Lin, they wouldn’t know about this. They would have continued traveling through the wormhole, and their endings then would have been unimaginably dire.
“What should we do next?” Everyone no longer dared to doubt Feng Lin.
“I hope that no one will defy my future orders. If something like that happened once more, I will ask the person to leave my shuttle and survive on his own out here in the outer space.” His tone was as sharp as a sword, not giving them face at all.
The expressions of everyone instantly turned ugly when they heard that.
They were all geniuses among their peers. Now that they were berated by someone from their generations, they would naturally feel frustrated.
But when they thought of the terrifying consequences of disobedience, all of their hearts trembled with fear. Without Feng Lin to lead the way, their situation would only become even more dangerous. How would they be able to survive? How could they travel through the universe?
They would die for sure!
Even after a long time passed, no one complained or objected.
Feng Lin nodded silently when he saw this scene. He knew that since these proud freshmen didn’t object, it meant that they had already silently accepted this and had submitted to him.
In extreme situations, one could only use extreme methods!
The future path was still very long. If their hearts weren’t united and they didn’t want to obey his orders, that would put everyone in even more danger.
“There’s plenty of space in the flying shuttle, so find your own place to make your preparations and rest. There’s still a very long path ahead of us. Try to adjust yourselves to your most optimal states, allowing all of you to be able to face any dangerous situations.” After saying that, he left it to the A.I. to assign rooms for them.
After the damage that the Flowerfruit Mountain had suffered, Feng Lin made some changes to its interior and exterior through repairs. It was now different from before.
Feng Lin then returned to the control cabin and began to ponder over the situation.
Ever since he came to the Great Wall University, he had never lived a single day in peace. There were unexpected things every day.
It was fine if it was one or two times. But how could there be so many unexpected accidents happening? This definitely wasn’t a coincidence!
Feng Lin could sense an intense feeling of unease. It was like he had a premonition that a giant calamity would occur soon. This feeling felt like the lava and magma of a volcano were gathering its strength in preparation for a powerful eruption. Once it erupted, the commotion caused would definitely affect the entire Great Wall University and maybe even the universe.
For weaker cultivators, maybe just brushing past the edges of the calamity would already cause them to die.
The path ahead was still long, and he had to make his preparations in advance!
