Star Gate

However, planetary-class spaceships are so expensive for a reason; they possess extraordinary capabilities. These ships can reach speeds of up to 30% of the speed of light, making them the primary mode of transportation between planets.

Furthermore, their various laser and energy weapons are powerful enough to easily eliminate a First Order Transcendent Martial Artist.

"Looking at your eyes, are you tempted?"

Zhang Ming, noticing Chu Kuang's expression, asked with a smile.

Chu Kuang nodded. Spaceships are symbols of status and prestige, far more valuable than luxury cars from a hundred thousand years ago.

Seeing this, Zhang Ming chuckled, "This Alligator Dragon is a large-class spaceship, with a market price of one hundred million Federal Coins."

"If it's just a small planetary-class spaceship, you can get one for twenty to thirty million Federal Coins. If you work hard and get into one of the top three prestigious schools, buying a planetary-class spaceship won't be a problem at all."

After a brief chat, Chu Kuang noticed that students from various classes were arriving one after another.

The spaceship's hatch opened quickly, and Xu Yue led the students of Class Seven onto the Alligator Dragon.

Although there were five thousand students boarding, they were all martial artists, so the boarding process took only a little over ten minutes.

"Boom—"

As the last student boarded, the Alligator Dragon let out a slight tremor. Then, the anti-gravity engine activated, and it soon flew out beyond Tian Yuan C Star.

Chu Kuang walked to the porthole and looked at Tian Yuan C Star shrinking below him, a deep expression in his eyes.

This was the first time he had witnessed the full view of Tian Yuan C Star. It was a planet with a diameter of eleven thousand kilometers, and its gravity was 1.26 times that of Earth.

Unlike Earth, which has only one moon, Tian Yuan C Star has three moons, named Red Moon, Green Moon, and Black Moon, from largest to smallest.

The largest, Red Moon, has a diameter of over four thousand kilometers and possesses a Level 1 Dark Domain, which is a rare large-scale dark domain among its kind.

The other two moons are smaller, with diameters of fifteen hundred kilometers and nine hundred sixty kilometers, respectively. Their affiliated dark domains are a Level 1 small dark domain and a Level 0 large dark domain.

"I heard that in the dark domain behind the Black Moon, there's an extremely powerful alien creature, a Black Flood Dragon, which has prevented any progress in conquering it for over seventy years."

Chu Kuang looked at the smaller black moon, a thought quickly flashing through his mind.

The spaceship was very fast. It accelerated with high efficiency, reaching 30% of the speed of light in just two minutes. After flying for another forty minutes, it finally stopped in front of a small asteroid deep in space.

"Asteroid No. 7264 has arrived."

An announcement came from the spaceship. Chu Kuang looked up into the depths of space and saw the trial ground he was about to reach.

It was an asteroid with a diameter of over forty kilometers, irregularly oval in shape, composed entirely of rock and metal, with a small spaceport on it.

The spaceship docked quickly, and Chu Kuang followed Xu Yue onto the asteroid.

As soon as he landed, Chu Kuang was surprised to find that the gravity on this asteroid was not much different from that of Tian Yuan C Star.

Xu Yue explained, "Because special training is required, the school installed gravity generators on this asteroid in advance."

Chu Kuang nodded. For an asteroid with a diameter of over forty kilometers, installing gravity generators would not be very costly. However, if the planet's diameter exceeded one hundred kilometers, the cost would skyrocket a hundredfold.

Xu Yue briefly introduced the asteroid to everyone and then led the students into the spaceport.

It was a spaceport with a diameter of about five hundred meters. In its center was a small Star Gate. Through the spatial rift between the gates, Chu Kuang could vaguely see the dark world behind it.

"Asteroid No. 7264 is not dangerous. Your main objectives here are to adapt to the environment of the Dark Domain and to seize the Source Energy Spring Eyes."

"This is a rare opportunity. Whether you can seize it depends on your strength and luck."

Before entering the Dark Domain, Xu Yue gathered everyone in the class for final instructions. His gaze fell on Chu Kuang, Jiang Feng, and Lin Shuyao, saying, "Especially you three, you must seize this opportunity."

Xu Yue's speech didn't last long before the void gate in front of them trembled slightly, emitting a scorching light.

Then, the rift slowly opened, gradually transforming into a space gate ten meters high and about eight meters wide.

"Hurry up, don't fall behind."

Xu Yue said immediately upon seeing this.

In fact, before Xu Yue could finish speaking, students from various grades were already rushing forward, competing against time.

Especially the top students who had mastered Basic External and Internal Martial Arts were leading the charge, rushing into the Star Gate.

Chu Kuang didn't hesitate either and followed the crowd.

During this process, Chu Kuang, by observing the aura bursts of everyone, preliminarily estimated the strength of each class.

"Over one hundred and twenty people have mastered Basic External and Internal Martial Arts, with Life Levels exceeding 5.8."

Chu Kuang's thoughts churned, and he paid a little attention to these individuals.

Apart from them, no one else posed any threat to Chu Kuang.

A gap of more than one Life Level was basically an insurmountable chasm. As for those students who hadn't mastered Basic External and Internal Martial Arts, their Life Levels were at most around 5.2.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—"

With sounds of air being broken, everyone rushed into the Star Gate.

Chu Kuang felt the world before his eyes tremble slightly, and he finally landed on a desolate land.

"This, is the Dark Domain?"

Chu Kuang's feet touched the ground, and he looked down at his surroundings, finding a small world emitting a faint purple glow.

This world was hidden within space, like a hollow bubble, orbiting Asteroid No. 7264 in the main universe.

"The celestial bodies in the main universe are like the core of a fruit, while the Dark Domain is like the peel, completely encasing them. However, this peel is hidden in the void and isn't in the same spatial anchor point as the celestial bodies of the main universe."

"If viewed from four-dimensional space, the two are actually a single entity. But as three-dimensional beings surviving in the main universe, we need to utilize space technology to travel between these two points – the core and the peel."

Chu Kuang recalled the introduction to the Dark Domain in his mind, then quickly withdrew his thoughts.

Because of the Dark Domain's hollow nature, this miniature Dark Domain was quite vast, covering over a hundred thousand square kilometers, an area comparable to China's Jiangsu Province.

As soon as Chu Kuang landed, he noticed many people rushing in all directions, clearly intending to seize the Source Energy Spring Eyes.

And at this moment, many people from their Class Seven also descended. It was evident that to keep them together, the entire class had been teleported to relatively close locations.

"Chu Kuang."

Just as Chu Kuang was about to get up and leave, he heard Lin Shuyao call out to him, "Do you want to cooperate?"
