Wei Lanshan and Jiujiu successfully arrived at the spaceport of Aola Star's fifth defense planet, and the two changed their appearances and identities.
Wei Lanshan didn't know Long Xingxue's identity. She only met her master after she turned sixteen and followed her, learning intermittently. Most of the time, she studied in the virtual training rooms on the Star Net. Her master gave her several training books and told her to practice according to them.
She practiced like this for over ten years and finally achieved results.
She knew her master was a successor of Shangyue Star. Later, she learned her master had taken in disciples, but she didn't ask too many questions.
According to the rules of Shangyue Star, once you leave the sect, you don't inquire about it.
You just need to remember not to bring shame to the sect, not to do evil, and not to bully others with your power. If you can't uphold justice, you should at least maintain your true self.
Wei Lanshan etched these principles into her heart. For decades, she hadn't violated them, except for the little person beside her now.
It was Jiujiu who made her have concerns and guilt again, which is why she risked saving her and taking her away from Tianning Star.
This time, the two were traveling on a commercial Star Shuttle. These Star Shuttles had robust security measures and were faster.
Looking at the colossal vessel before her, Jiujiu was still amazed by the technology.
This Star Shuttle could accommodate up to six thousand people, and it had rooms, living areas, dining rooms, and training rooms—everything was available.
Wei Lanshan had booked a suite this time, which included a training room. She planned to put Jiujiu through grueling training.
From Aola to Anvile, they would spend a longer time, and this time shouldn't be wasted.
Jiujiu changed her clothes and stood straight, listening to Wei Lanshan's explanation: "The mass and gravity of each star system and planet are different.
Starting today, you will train your Martial Skills in the gravity chamber, beginning with the lowest gravity. I hope that by the time the Star Shuttle reaches its destination, you will have adapted to all twenty gravity levels."
"Yes, I will work hard," Jiujiu replied with determined eyes.
She knew survival was difficult. The appearance of the Snow Dragon Mercenary Group made her deeply realize that she was currently being hunted.
Without Wei Lanshan, she had no skills to protect herself.
She had been desperately learning, learning, and learning during this period, hoping that the heavens hadn't brought her here just for a cameo before the game ended.
They had escaped from Q68, and so far, they had only encountered one crisis, and that was because Long Xingxue had held back.
Greater enemies awaited them ahead. The Tang family and Tang Yongyu were relentless in their pursuit.
After entering the training room, Jiujiu's young body once again felt the pain of oxygen deprivation.
She gritted her teeth and persevered. If she couldn't even get through the first gravity level, what about the remaining nineteen? Giving up was not in her nature.
Large beads of sweat broke out on her forehead, and her small body moved forward step by determined step.
Her feet felt as heavy as if they were cast in lead, and every step was a struggle. Jiujiu felt she couldn't be discouraged. She thought of the meditation mantra, a secret that had accompanied her through four years of experimental life.
Jiujiu closed her deep, pool-like black eyes and began to silently recite the mantra, taking a step forward with each recitation. After fifty repetitions, she finally felt much more relaxed.
Her steps were no longer so heavy. She began to practice the Martial Skills taught by Wei Lanshan. After adjusting her breathing, she was delighted to find that she could perform simple movements.
The feeling of oxygen deprivation in her chest and abdomen finally subsided. Seeing Jiujiu's hard work and unwillingness to give up, Wei Lanshan felt an indescribable emotion.
Her talent was indeed astonishing. She had fully adapted to the first level of gravity in just over thirty minutes, and her progress was truly shocking.
A five-year-old body, an adult's soul, and incredible talent—would the Alliance have another legend because of her?
Wei Lanshan harbored a faint sense of anticipation.
This escape journey through space ended with Jiujiu's sweat.
When the Star Shuttle smoothly docked at the spaceport, Jiujiu had completed the twenty levels of gravity training, and her Martial Skills had reached a minor accomplishment.
Her speed was fast, and her posture was agile. Apart from a lack of strength, she was already very proficient.
Wei Lanshan admitted that at Jiujiu's age, she couldn't achieve her current level of skill at all.
"Let's go, we've arrived at Anvile," Wei Lanshan said, taking Jiujiu's hand as they disembarked from the Star Shuttle and took the spaceport's sky rail to the ground.
As they walked, Wei Lanshan introduced the star system to Jiujiu. Anvile was a native planet. Wei Lanshan didn't explain to Jiujiu why it was called a native planet.
The architecture here was very different, more exquisite. Unlike Aola Star, where Jiujiu had briefly stayed, the designs here leaned towards softness, whereas Aola's architecture conveyed a sense of ruggedness.
The people walking towards them made Jiujiu's eyes widen. So beautiful.
They all had golden pupils, golden hair, and faintly golden eyebrows. Their facial features were deep-set, their skin was very fair, and their demeanor was ethereal and refined, appearing flawless in every way.
They resembled the pictures of elves she had seen in her past life. She hadn't expected there to be such perfect humans in the interstellar world.
Seeing Jiujiu's small eyes blinking continuously, Wei Lanshan chuckled inwardly and clarified, "The Anvile People are the most beautiful beings in the entire Alliance."
"Does everyone in the Anvile star system look like this?" Jiujiu began her daily hundred questions of curiosity.
"Yes, regardless of gender."
Shocked, Jiujiu wondered why the distinction of gender used "male and female." Were they animals?
"Aren't they human?"
"They are different from us, but we are all carbon-based life forms. They have always lived in this star system. Before our ancestors crossed the vast sea of stars to come here, they already inhabited this place. We use their star system's name to refer to them. Anvile, in their language, means 'guardian'."
This piece of information was substantial. Jiujiu committed it to memory, thinking that once they reached a safe place, she would definitely catch up on the history of the Alliance.
She finally understood what Wei Lanshan meant by "native planet" when they landed the Star Shuttle.
The Anvile People had lived in this star domain for a much, much longer time than them; humanity were latecomers.
"Are they the guardians of this star domain?" Wei Lanshan's words should have meant that.
"Yes. They have guarded this star domain for tens of millions of years and are the guardians of the Star Domain Gate. It's also said that the Anvile royal family has two forms, though no one has ever seen them."
Jiujiu didn't ask what the Star Domain Gate was. Wei Lanshan hadn't said, so it must be a very important place.
"Is there anything I need to pay special attention to here, like taboos?"
Wei Lanshan smiled. She hadn't expected Jiujiu to ask this question first upon arriving in a strange place. This was good; she wouldn't be rash in the future.
"There aren't many taboos. They have a monarchy with an emperor. Commoners don't usually see members of the royal family, so they won't accidentally break any taboos. Just remember one thing: don't ask about the current Grand Princess Jing Xi of Anvile, and don't be curious if you hear her name."
Wei Lanshan told Jiujiu everything she knew.
It was a long story, and disputes between star systems had never ceased.
After humanity entered this star domain, the kind Anvile People accepted them, and they coexisted peacefully for a long time.
Later, a powerful human fell in love with an Anvile princess. They had thought they would have no offspring in this lifetime, but unexpectedly, they gave birth to a uniquely talented half-blood.
At first, things were calm. By the time that child grew up, their talent was astonishing. Not only did they possess the Anvile People's healing and guardian powers, but their Mental Power was also at its peak.
