Chapter 15: Ye Lingtong
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Zi Luo City was situated at mid-west of the Mo Lan Continent—one of the two continents on Heaven Luo Planet—and was one of the top ten cities here at the Mo Lan Continent.
Compared to the mother planet, Douluo Planet, Heaven Luo Planet was the most similar to it among the other planets; it was even more similar than the very first planet where interstellar migration happened, Heaven Dou Planet. Whether it was the climate or environment, it was very suitable for humans to live in. By the time mankind discovered this place, Heaven Luo Planet had already started to birth its own life forms, especially plants.
But as a planet that had just started to grow and contain lifeforms, it was obviously easily controlled by the Soul Federation. After over a hundred years of scientific exploration, the migration finally began gradually, and the process of interstellar migration was much more successful than Heaven Dou Planet.
Of course, as mankind became more proficient and familiar with the development of planets and interstellar migration, the development of the later planets was faster. Other than the current seven planets, the Federation had already set a target to complete at least three interstellar migration within the next hundred years.
Now the biggest problem was the population; the Federation had just officially launched a policy to encourage childbirth.
Zi Luo City was a very modern city and no soil could be seen here; it was mostly tall buildings made out of metals.
The winding and snaking tunnels in the sky allowed the soul guidance vehicles to travel around at high speed.
The soul guidance cars today had already developed into soul guidance flying cars but because of the importance of aviation control, the Federation built many metal tunnels in the sky at various major planets that were financially-able, thus allowing these soul guidance flying cars to move around in an orderly manner. Only military flying vehicles were allowed to fly freely and had fewer restrictions.
At this moment, Lan Xuanyu was seated in his father’s soul guidance flying car while he looked out at the tunnels. Overtaking another car was not allowed in the tunnels, and one would be punished severely for it. They were only allowed to move in an orderly manner at a certain speed, and if everyone complied with it, this would actually be much more efficient.
“Xuanyu, don’t be nervous, you’ll make many new friends in school. You don’t have to worry about the entrance test either. There shouldn’t be many kids that have a spirit skill at your age. I’ve amended your record slightly, so if anyone asks about your age, you must say that you’re seven, not six. Just say that because you were ill, you attended school a year later.” contemporary romance
“Father, but Mother said that good kids don’t lie.” Lan Xuanyu looked at his father with big crystal clear eyes.
Lan Xiao paused for a moment before he said sternly, “Sometimes, in order to protect ourselves or others, a white lie is allowed.” Lan Xiao deliberated carefully before he decided to lie about Lan Xuanyu’s age since it was impossible to hide the fact that Lan Xuanyu already had spirit power that was over Rank 10 in front of the spirit power detector.
Rather than think of how to hide his spirit power and spirit skill, he might as well lie about Lan Xuanyu’s age and say that he had high perception skills and advanced by leaps and bounds during this one year.
It was indeed something to be proud of for Lan Xuanyu to be Rank 10 at his age. It was to the extent that even after declaring that he was seven instead of six, Heaven Luo Elementary Spirit Master Academy still accepted him.
“Oh.” Lan Xuanyu responded obediently.
Seeing how well-behaved his son was, Lan Xiao sighed. Lan Xuanyu was a good boy, but he was just too obedient and timid at times. He was a little weak psychologically. Among the children his age, he wasn’t considered strong at all and these might seem very normal. But he knew in his heart that his son was not someone who was ordinary and normal!
“Sou!” The navigation system in the car drove the flying car out of the high-speed tunnel and reduced its speed before it made a turn. A metal door had already been raised, and they entered into the tunnel of a huge building.
Lan Xiao operated the settings on the display and followed the instructions which led him to the carpark in the building.
The car came to a stop slowly and released the safety belts. Lan Xiao ruffled his son’s hair and said, “We’re here, let’s go.”
The father and son got off the car, and Lan Xuanyu held Lan Xiao’s hand as he looked at him with those big round eyes that revealed a tinge of nervousness.
“Son, you’ll be fine. Have you forgotten? You’re the most popular no matter where you go!” Lan Xiao squatted down. He gently pinched Lan Xuanyu’s tender and fair cheeks as he smiled encouragingly.
“En.” Lan Xuanyu nodded. While he was in kindergarten, he was the baby of the entire class. Both the teachers and students adored him, and this was the gift of being good looking.
After getting on two lifts, they finally arrived at the enrolment office located on the 9th floor. As a matter of fact, this metal building was 32-story high and a branch of Zi Luo City.
There were a couple of parents who were registering their children at this moment. Lan Xiao brought his son to queue up at the back. He was used to wearing his military uniform, but a lieutenant colonel was evidently not a big deal to the parents. Just in front of them, there was a senior colonel with two stripes and four stars holding a little girl’s hand, and he seemed quite close in age with Lan Xiao.
The registration process was very quick. The main thing was to verify their identity and go through a few simple spirit-power tests. Then, the children would go inside and the parents would go back. The parents would be back at night to fetch their children back home.
Very soon, it was that senior colonel’s turn.
When the teacher in charge of registration saw the military rank of the little girl’s father, her attitude toward her was particularly nice, and she smiled widely as she asked, “Little beauty, what is your name?”
The little girl was very beautiful indeed. She had long and naturally curly brown hair, her skin was fair, and she was average in height among children her age. Her eyes were a beautiful shade of light green, and her pupils appeared to have a shade of deep emerald blue.
She looked at the teacher and smiled sweetly. “Hello, Teacher, I am Ye Lingtong.”
“You have a really nice name. I need to verify your identity, could you tell me when your date of birth is...”
The identity verification was the same as the rest, but during the spirit power test, it caused the parents in the queue to let out a gasp.
The spirit power test apparatus revealed eight inches; Rank 8! A six-year-old little girl with a Rank 8 spirit power! She had just awoken for sure which meant that her innate spirit power was already Rank 8. This was incredible.
“Ye Lingtong, spirit power Rank 8, you may go in.”
From the beginning to the end, Ye Lingtong’s father had never left her side and didn’t say a word. Until it was time to leave, he nodded toward the teacher before he turned around and left.
When he turned around, Lan Xiao then saw the appearance of this 1.9-meter tall man with broad shoulders and eyes filled with hostility. He had a firm expression like his face was chiseled with an ax while his eyes were brimming with radiating vigor.
He saw Lan Xiao the second he turned around, and he glanced at the military rank on his shoulders.
Lan Xiao immediately stood upright and saluted him. “Senior.”
In the military, ranks were strongly regarded, and an officer with a lower rank had to salute the officer with a higher rank.
The senior colonel returned the greeting. “You’re a civilian soldier?”
“Yes,” Lan Xiao said.
