World-saving Plan: The Only Savior-Chapter 597 - 462: The Path of the Newcomer in the Star Alliance (Two in One)_2
Chapter 597: Chapter 462: The Path of the Newcomer in the Star Alliance (Two in One)_2
That curious look and the way he peered around never ceased.
On the journey from the tarmac to the underground base, the Transcendent from before had given them a rough introduction to the place.
He felt as though this place was a hidden paradise, secreted away from the world.
The delightful environment, the unique architecture, the ancient and mysterious legends, and the exotic spiritual beasts that appeared everywhere along the road.
Everything here perfectly matched his previous fantasies of the Extraordinary World.
The flame within his heart soared in an instant, and he couldn’t wait to start his exceptional new life.
Upon entering his room, he first took a good look at the surroundings.
Although it seemed a bit small from the outside corridor, once inside, he discovered that the space was not cramped at all, but quite spacious instead.
Aside from the main bedroom, the room also came equipped with a bathroom, a kitchen, a study, and even a small balcony.
"A balcony?"
Li Xiang was curious as to why there would be a balcony in an underground base like this.
He immediately set down his suitcase and walked over.
Upon opening the door, he discovered that the patch of green he saw from inside the room was real.
Behind his bedroom was a small park.
A rather large space had been artificially carved out there, with flowers, plants, trees, and even streams and artificial mountains.
Above his head, there was even a warm artificial light source.
If one didn’t pay close attention, they would never realize this place was tens of meters underground.
"How beautiful..."
He sighed to himself.
Next door, the sound of sliding doors could be heard again.
It turned out to be Zhou Yu coming out from his room, and through the balcony, they could see each other.
Zhou Yu and Li Xiang got along quite well, becoming friends in just a few short hours.
And, luckily, they had turned out to be neighbors, too.
"Hey, Li, how does it feel?"
Zhou Yu greeted.
"Great, I didn’t expect this place to look like this; it’s truly amazing."
Li Xiang tried to suppress the excitement in his heart, not wanting to appear too overwhelmed.
However, his slightly trembling hands betrayed his current feelings.
Zhou Yu nodded empathetically, seeing the signs.
Though he was a rich second generation who was used to luxurious scenes, he too couldn’t hide the shock in his heart.
There was still about an hour left until five o’clock, so they didn’t chat much longer and returned to their rooms after a brief talk.
Li Xiang organized his suitcase and looked through the living supplies that had been provided for him.
They were very comprehensive; almost everything he could think of was there.
After tidying up a bit and taking a shower, it was almost time to gather.
...
On the underground first floor, inside the Inheritance Hall.
At this moment, all the members of the Star Alliance had already gathered here.
There were Awakeners as well as ordinary members.
Several newcomers had also changed into the white and grey uniforms.
Wearing the uniform, they immediately felt more integrated.
"Hello everyone, I am Lu Fan, living in 3201, Block B of third level, currently part of the craftsmen group; from now on, we’re all companions. If you need help with anything, feel free to come find me."
To the side, an older member came over to greet them.
"Ah, so it’s Brother Lu. We are all new here and not quite familiar with everything yet, so please look after us in the future..."
Zhou Yu was sweet-tongued, addressing everyone as "brother."
"Right, why is everyone gathered here today? I just heard Brother Bai Ze mention the Enlightenment Ceremony. May I ask, what does this mean?"
"Oh, the Enlightenment Ceremony, didn’t Bai Ze tell you about it? Right, this thing, I remember it’s written in the newcomer’s guide, ’Things You Must Know,’ you probably haven’t had time to read it yet, have you?"
Lu Fan recalled the scene when he first arrived some time ago and explained:
"The Enlightenment Ceremony is a kind of test for ordinary people to become Awakeners. I heard that the recipient has to go through their worst fears in a powerful Spiritual Illusion."
"If one can endure till the end and break the illusion, they will be imprinted with the symbol of the Eye of the Starry Sky, guiding Dark Energy into their body, becoming an Awakener with extraordinary powers!"
His face was filled with longing as he spoke.
"Then... I wonder how one could participate in such a ceremony? Are there any restrictions?"
Zhou Yu asked.
"To take part in the Enlightenment Ceremony, there aren’t any other restrictions as long as you can pass the monthly assessments."
Lu Fan looked eager to try.
"Speaking of which, it won’t be long until the next assessment. I’ve been preparing for it for some time now, hoping that I can pass the test and earn the qualification for Enlightenment. Otherwise, I’ll have to wait for another month if I miss it."
"Ah! Can we participate too?"
"Hmm... According to the rules, all members of the Star Alliance can participate. However, the instructor told us it’s best to sign up when we’re confident because the trial for qualification will be very difficult. He said it’s something we will definitely not want to try a second time."
While he spoke, he suddenly raised his head and looked around.
He saw one male and one female, two blond-haired and blue-eyed Caucasians pass by and even took the initiative to greet them.
"Aaron, Bena, good evening!"
On hearing this, the two turned their heads and smiled at him with a nod.
Using not too fluent Chinese, they also spoke a similar sentence.
Once they were gone, Zhou Yu leaned in and asked quietly:
"Brother Lu, who were those two just now? The clothes they’re wearing don’t seem to be that of Awakeners."
Clicking his tongue, Lu Fan showed a touch of envy and said:
"They are Aaron Griffin and Bena Braun, the instructor’s best students, and the two most likely to pass the next assessment."
"I heard they both come from America, and their entire family was killed by an Alien Species. Later, they were taken in by the Star Lord and joined the Star Alliance. They train like mad every day so that they can become Awakeners and avenge their family by killing all those monsters." freēwēbηovel.c૦m
At this point, he couldn’t help but sigh:
"Honestly, I really admire their kind of relentless training. Although I also follow the instructor and practice daily, I just don’t have the confidence to do it like they do."
"So, everyone respects them. It’s not just for anything else, but for their kind of die-hard spirit, I have to give them this."
Zhou Yu looked at the thumbs-up gesture in Lu Fan’s hand and nodded thoughtfully.
After a brief moment of contemplation, he then spoke:
"By the way, Brother Lu, I heard you keep mentioning ’instructor,’ who exactly is he?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Fan gestured in a certain direction with his mouth:
"Look, the instructor is here."
Everyone around followed the direction he indicated.
A tall, well-muscled Caucasian man walked out from the entrance of the underground base.
He wore a green uniform with gold trim, and even the newcomers knew this to be the Daring Clothes of an Awakener.
And green and gold represented one of the Three Great Sanctuaries, the Star Palace.
The instructor before them was naturally an Awakener from the Star Palace, known as—Forest Guardian.
"Keep quiet, the Enlightenment Ceremony is about to begin. Those who came to spectate, step behind the white line and clear this area."
Lord Bear clapped his hands, signaling for people to move back.
The normally amiable-looking Lord Bear, now after intense training and battles with Alien Species over this period, had regained the formidable presence he had during his time with the Royal Air Force.
In fact, compared to then, the aura he now exuded was even more majestic and awe-inspiring, instilling reverence at first glance.
