Chapter 59: Chapter 59: Hundred Boats Vying to Stream

Translator: 549690339

It was Sunday, and Jack Clark was still in his usual outfit of a white t-shirt, black casual pants, and flat shoes, carrying a backpack with two sets of clothes in his hand.

Doris Raven and Glenn Clark saw him off at the entrance to the courtyard.

Doris voiced her concerns: “Jack, you need to be careful this time. I’ve heard that things are pretty chaotic in Koroya, people die there every day.”

After learning that Jack was going on this trial with his teacher, Doris had become particularly attentive to the matter, so she had done some additional research and knew that the trial site would be in Koroya.

In contrast to Doris’s concern, Glenn was merely curious and excited.

Jack responded with a small smile: “Mom, don’t worry. The situation there is now controlled by the Federation, and we students are just going to observe.” “Even if a few powerful experts slip through the net, the stronger adults like our teachers will block them. At most, a few fledglings will get through to give us some combat experience.”

After comforting Doris, Jack waved goodbye, slung his backpack over his shoulder, and headed toward the school.

When Jack arrived at the school gate at nine in the morning, there were already two buses waiting, filled with students who had chosen to take part in the trial. Upon seeing Jack, Justin Welan excitedly waved at him: “Jack, over here!”

This time, Jack wasn’t the last to show up. Crystal Leinster, Freya Louise, and some others hadn’t arrived yet.

The two boys stood at the edge of the crowd. Jack looked at the excited Justin and curiously asked: “Mr. Willard, why are you participating in this trial? You don’t really need to, do you?”

For most students, the trial was a chance to earn contribution points, gaining combat experience was only secondary.

After all, they’d have plenty of opportunities to sharpen their combat skills in the future when they’re more advanced in their cultivation.

Therefore, someone like Justin who was rich and even had people to provide him with high-level resources really had no need to take risks.

He could just continue cultivating in peace, wait until next year to break through the ‘Triplex’, then join the trial when his strength was greater, which would be much safer.

Justin huffed with some indignation: “Jack, are you looking down on me, Justin Welan? If you dare to go, why wouldn’t I?”

Jack gave him a sidelong glance: “It’s not like you’re stronger than me or anything.”

Justin chuckled and pretended not to hear his comment: “No real reason, actually. 1 just want to go and see what it’s like. My dad and my older brother both support me on this.”

“According to my brother, cultivating requires unyielding determination.”

“If I can’t even dare to participate in a trial supervised by the school, how could 1 dare to face those terrifying giant beasts in the future? Where would I get the courage to comprehend the great terror between life and death?”

“As long as my family doesn’t object, I, the mighty Justin Welan, will certainly not be afraid. And, 1 have brought some good stuff with me this time. My cultivation will certainly soar.”

“By then, none of the likes of Jane Aiken and the Class Leader will be a match for me, hahaha…”

His excitement grew as he spoke, and in the end, Justin even burst into laughter, as if he had already seen himself rising up during the trial and overpowering all the geniuses of his age.

“Ahem…”

While Justin was immersed in his fantasy, Jack cleared his throat and looked at him with an odd expression: “Mr. Willard, I think you should take a look behind you before you laugh.”

Justin’s laughter froze on his face, and a sense of foreboding rose in his heart. No way, it can’t be this unlucky. The Class Leader heard him again, right?

With this thought, Justin slowly turned his head, only to see Crystal quietly standing behind him, with a pink ladies’ backpack on her back.

Additionally, Matt Watkins, Freya, Mandy, and Maria were also there, the three girls stifling their laughter.

“Ha, hahaha… Good morning, everyone.” Justin gave a chuckle, his smile perfectly natural, without a hint of embarrassment.

The others, already accustomed to Justin’s habit of boasting, just glanced at him indifferently.

After everyone else had gathered, Vernon Leinster, Lori Parma, and some other teachers also arrived.

This time, fifty-seven students from South Sky Martial Height were participating in the trial. After confirming that everyone had arrived, the students and teachers all boarded the two buses.

Two hours later, they arrived at a suburban airport, and after going through some check-in procedures at the airport, the bus directly took Jack and the others to the runway.

On the side of the runway, two sci-fi style large airliners quietly stood.

But calling them airliners wouldn’t be as accurate as calling them fighting passenger planes.

Under the airplane, two large-caliber machine guns were installed on the left and right, in the middle was a special weapon similar to a railgun with a barrel about thirty centimeters thick.

In addition to these, there were short-range air missiles and other airborne weapons suspended under the wings, and even a bomb release port at the belly of the plane.

There was no other way. With the continuous emergence of mutated beasts, many birds had also mutated, especially some large eagles.

Over the years, whenever satellites detected threatening powerful mutated birds, the authorities would send out cultivators and fighters to exterminate them, not giving them a chance to grow.

If they allowed these mutated birds to continue to breed and grow, humans would slowly lose their air superiority.

However, this extermination operation only targeted large or powerful mutated birds, those with some signs of mutation but with average strength were ignored.

There was no helping it, there were too many to kill.

Therefore, these weapons were used to guard against those ordinary mutated birds, preventing them from causing air accidents.

After everyone got off the bus, Vernon, holding a name list, said gravely, “Your weapons and the battle armor given to you are in the belly of the plane, remember to claim them after getting off the plane.”

“Also, there are two trial locations this time, Kaleb Tuul city and Lester City in Koroya. Now, I will start calling names.”

“Those who are called will board Flight 075, which 1 will lead to Kaleb Tuul city.”

“Jane Aiken.”

“Present.”

“Crystal Leinster.”

“Here…”

Those whose names were called walked up into the airplane with their bags.

After more than twenty names were called, Jack was shocked to find that except for him and Justin, everyone else from Class 9 and Class 3 had boarded Flight 075.

Unexpectedly, this ad hoc team hadn’t even started and was already disbanded.

Jack shook his head, swung his backpack over his shoulder, and followed Lori Parma and the other three teachers onto Flight 076.

Due to the modifications, a part of the large airplane was occupied by weapons and ammunition and could barely seat about thirty people, including Jack.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I am the flight attendant for this flight, which is expected to last eleven hours. If you need anything during the flight, please feel free to find me.”

“Please fasten your seatbelts now and carefully read the flight manual placed on your seat.”

“It details what to do in case of an attack by a mutated beast during the flight…”

Buzz!

Accompanied by the roar of the engines, the two airplanes began to taxi one after the other during the flight attendant’s explanation, spreading their wings towards the heights of the clouds.

Moreover, one or two fighting passenger planes took off from every city in Eastern Summer that had first-class universities and headed in the same direction.

Seen from space, it gave a sense of a hundred boats racing, giving a sense of vigor and vitality..
