Chapter 1826

The streets on both sides were lined with towering buildings, neon lights flashing.

One could look up.

But the sky was largely obscured by those floating islands, casting the entire city into shadow.

Most people walking through the city were Blue Star humans, but many clearly came from other planets.

The reason is simple—the aura gap is too great!

Although Blue Star has been developing rapidly in recent years.

There are almost no ordinary people left.

Yet overall, most people are only at the level of third- or fourth-tier ability users.

Those aliens, each and every one, are at the Star Radiance or Star Core stage.

Naturally, they stand out prominently.

These people don't seem to be doing anything particularly excessive.

But as they walk, their auras erupt, directly pushing aside ordinary Blue Star humans nearby.

In the eyes of these aliens,

Blue Star humans don't even qualify to walk the same road as them.

This is a humiliation more terrifying than words or actions.

Xu Jingming watched all this as he continued forward.

Yet the suppressed killing intent around him grew stronger and stronger.

Similar scenes kept unfolding along the way.

The heirs of the Sovereign Families ran rampant on Blue Star streets, treating native residents as nothing.

Some floating islands hovered directly above residential areas.

The constant roar of engines day and night disturbed residents below, preventing them from sleeping.

There were energy fluctuations from starships landing.

That shattered the glass of nearby buildings, yet no one compensated.

"Master..."

The Phantom Sovereign felt the impending destructive aura and couldn't help but whisper.

"These guys are too much."

The Frost Crown Sovereign also let out a soft sigh, her ice-blue eyes full of worry.

All along the way, Xu Jingming's killing intent grew stronger and stronger.

She truly feared he would suddenly erupt and go to war with those Sovereign Families!

If that happened, the situation would become utterly uncontrollable!

Unbeknownst to them, the three arrived at the gate of Magic City Ability University.

"Magic City Ability University—this is the school you attended when you were on Blue Star, Jingming."

The Frost Crown Sovereign smiled and spoke, trying to ease the atmosphere.

She knew quite a bit about Xu Jingming's past and understood the significance of this school to him.

"Is this the school Master used to attend?"

The Phantom Sovereign, now transformed into a beautiful young woman, also gazed curiously at the campus.

The campus gate was ancient and majestic.

Inside, teaching buildings stood in rows, and one could faintly sense the vibrant energy of the young students.

"Hmm."

Seeing his alma mater, Xu Jingming's icy expression finally eased somewhat.

However, over twenty years have passed, and this familiar campus is now completely different from memory.

Vice President Ling Shuang had long since become his woman.

Teacher Yang Zhen Tian went to the Noah Holy Land for cultivation, and his classmates from the same year had long since graduated and gone their separate ways.

The entire university now has hardly anyone he knows.

That was what he originally thought.

But when he swept his divine sense, he detected a familiar aura.

"Huh? She actually stayed here?"

Xu Jingming was somewhat surprised, then immediately said:

"Teacher, let's go take a look."

"Alright."

Seeing his expression soften, the Frost Crown Sovereign felt somewhat relieved and naturally wouldn't refuse.

Magic City Ability University, First Training Field.

Sunlight was sliced by the floating islands in the sky into fragmented patches, scattering across the level training ground.

A woman stood in the center of the field, gazing at the over forty students before her.

This woman was tall and slender, with a shapely, lifted buttocks and long, round, tight legs.

Her long hair behind her was tied into a neat ponytail.

Most striking were her eyes, which were as blue as sapphires.

This woman was indeed Ling Shuang's disciple, and she had once gone to the Cherry Blossom Country with Xu Jingming—Xia Lan!

"The core of the Spatial Domain lies in perception and control."

"The core of a spatial domain lies in perception and control."

Xia Lan's voice was clear and bright, echoing across the playground:

"Now, look closely."

She raised her right hand, palm facing upward.

Hum—

With her as the center, the space within a hundred-meter radius suddenly twisted!

The air rippled with visible undulations, as if a stone had been thrown into a water surface.

All students simultaneously felt their bodies stagnate, as if they had sunk into an invisible quagmire.

"This is a space stagnation effect.

It can reduce an enemy's speed, creating a counterattack opportunity for oneself."

While demonstrating, Xia Lan explained:

"What you all possess are spatial abilities.

Pay attention to sensing the fluctuations of spatial laws, and try to attune to them with mental power."

The students focused intently, some closing their eyes to perceive, some attempting to imitate.

Xia Lan's current strength had already reached Star Radiance seventh stage.

In the universe, this strength did not count as particularly strong.

But on Blue Star native soil, this was already the topmost batch aside from Ling Shuang and the other Matriarchs.

And ever since seven years ago, when she stepped into the Star Radiance stage.

She chose to enter Modu Ability University to teach.

By now she was already the principal of Modu Ability University.

It was just that she still undertook teaching duties.

"Principal Xia!"

During a practice interval, a short-haired female student raised her hand, eyes shining bright:

"I heard Lei Di my lord graduated from our school back then, is that true?"

The playground instantly fell quiet, all students pricking up their ears.

Xia Lan smiled faintly, a trace of reminiscence flashing in her eyes:

"Of course it's true.

Twenty years ago, Lei Di my lord participated in the new student grand competition on this very playground.

Back then, she was only a second-stage ability user."

Nearly twenty years had passed since Blue Star entered the interstellar era.

Modu Ability University's students were all eighteen or nineteen-year-old young women.

They were already the new generation of Blue Star people.

Xu Jingming's deeds were widely circulated on Blue Star.

But to these students, he was more like a god existing in legend.

Therefore, everything about him filled everyone with curiosity.

"Wow—!

Second-stage ability user? Wouldn't that be even weaker than us right now?"

The students exclaimed in amazement.

When Xu Jingming entered school back then, freshmen were generally first-stage across the board.

But nowadays, these freshmen, the lowest level among them are all sixth-stage ability users.

This is Blue Star's rapid development speed over these years.

"Principal, I heard you and Lei Di my lord have no shallow relationship?

Back then you even fought side by side over in the former Sakura Country?"

Another male student spoke with a grin.

Once these words came out, many students cast curious gazes over.

Xia Lan's mind instantly conjured that tall, straight young figure.

Xu Jingming......

The man who made her fall for him at first sight for a lifetime.

Even though more than twenty years had already passed.

Even though in these years the number of times she met the other party was extremely few.

But the other party's appearance was still deeply engraved in her mind.

However, she was very clear that the gap between the two was like a natural moat!

"Don't talk nonsense."

Xia Lan's face straightened, feigning sternness:

"Lei Di my lord is the hero of the entire Blue Star.

We all must take him as a model and cultivate well, not gossip about these baseless things."

She was about to continue the class when, in the distant horizon, several streaks of light suddenly lit up!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Three streaks of light descended from the sky, landing at the playground's edge, turning into the figures of two men and one woman.

They wore luxurious golden long robes.

The robe hems were embroidered with golden patterns, their auras flamboyant and overbearing.

At the forefront was a golden-haired youth.

His features were handsome but his gaze arrogant, and his entire being emanated the pressure of an Eternal!

The man and woman behind him were both at the peak of the Cosmos realm!
