Transmigration: Children of The Plane

Chapter 193 Second Guesses About Xiao Xuan



However, once they got onto the airship, the faces of the students lit up in astonishment.

Just like its outside, the inside of the Black Ghost was a pristine-looking matte black that almost looked like an eternal void. And to the young Black-Robed Students, it was a beautiful color.

Coupled with the large array of furniture and rooms, the inside of the Black Ghost, rather than looking like an airship, was more like a luxury hotel!

With long stretch hallways with dozens if not hundreds of rooms and a huge floor dedicated just to be a training field. So many things onboard the Black Ghost resembled the luxury hotels in the Gen Empire that it excited the students.

If it weren\'t for Feng Hui, who was standing next to them, they would\'ve taken off and tried to explore everything in the Black Ghost they could!

But to Xue Bai, who was standing on the side, none of what he was seeing gave him a wow factor, and he stayed calm in the face of it all.

Sure, everything he saw was extravagant and nice looking, but not only had he seen better back at home in the Great Xuan Empire, but also he felt like the airship looked exactly like the luxury cruises from his previous life.

Though he spent most of his memorable life in a hospital room, he and his parents had gone on one before it all. And the inside of the Black Ghost reminded him of the one he went on.

And what the other students were going through right now, Xue Bai had already done, hence his lack of excitement.

"Oh my god, it\'s so large, even on the inside! I thought that it was all armor!"

"Idiot, if it was so thick, how could the thing fly? If you\'re going to act like a bumpkin, try not to be stupid!"

Gossip and curious discussions quickly filled the hull of the airship, but once every one of the 50-odd students in attendance entered, Feng Hui\'s impatience was revealed.

"Humph!" While he only snorted, Feng Hui had also infused some of his Spiritual Qi into it, so the second it was released, it was like a dog whistle.

Every student became mum and looked over at Feng Hui, who had now seemingly regained a few years of youth.

Long gone was his walking cane, and now he even was able to stand straight with his arms crossed at his chest.

"Students, stop gawking at the Black Ghost. Once you reach the level of this old man, such scenes will be a dime a dozen. Won\'t you become fools if you continue acting like that, then?" Feng Hui scolded.

However, inwardly he was gloating.

Before he was given control of the Black Ghost a few days ago, he, too, had never seen such a luxurious airship. But after adjusting to its beauty over the past few days, he had long gotten used to its majesty and beauty and felt like he was able to make fun of the students who were acting like country bumpkins entering a city for the first time.

It was vain and conceited, but Feng Hui didn\'t care. He was hedonist by nature.

Thankfully his childish thoughts weren\'t known by the students in front of him, and rather than laugh at him, they all felt embarrassed at how they acted.

Sure, they were young, but that was only in the sense of the cultivation world. Truthfully they were all either in their mid to late twenties, yet they had been running around and discussing the Black Ghost like they were half of their age.

After seeing them all become humble and embarrassed, Feng Hui smiled and began to talk.

"Students, follow me to where you\'ll be staying during this voyage. I\'ll explain to you what is happening now and where you all are going on the way!" Feng Hui announced.

And with a \'follow me\' hand gesture, Feng Hui started walking up one of the many staircases nearby.

"A few days ago, at the border between the Kun Empire devils and us, one of our loyal soldiers discovered a secret realm! However, like the devils are, they cruelly killed our brave soldier and took over the secret realm location claiming to find it first!" Fang Hui spat angrily. It was as if he was truly angry over the death of the footsoldier.

Of course, there was no way Fang Hui, who had submitted to Long Tian, had any affection toward a random foot soldier, but that wasn\'t true about the students.

For the Black-Robed Students in attendance who still had a strong moral binding with their Empire, once they heard the horrible fate one of their own went through, they erupted in anger.

"Those damn Kun Empire devils!"

"How dare they kill one of our men!"

However, unlike the calm and bored Xue Bai, the other Black-Robed Students were like trails of gasoline which were lit by the match known as Feng Hui.

Like sleeper agents, once the Kun Empire was mentioned, rage and killing intent erupted out of their youthful bodies.

Feng Hui, who was at the front of the group, could hear the rage oozing out of the Black-Robed Students, and he smiled.

"Don\'t get angry now, children. Get angry once you see them. You\'ll need it." Feng Hui said as he motioned for the students to quiet down.

"Going back to the story, there is some good news. Our loyal soldier didn\'t fall into greed and hold back the news of the secret realm, so the second he discovered it, unaware of his impending death, he sent the coordinates to his superiors. And now, a few days later, through some annoying but lengthy diplomacy, we have managed to secure 60 spots in the secret realm!" Feng Hui said proudly.

\'You discovered a secret realm first but are happy you got 60 spots? Aren\'t the finders of a secret realm able to dictate who enters and who doesn\'t?\' Xue Bai thought inwardly.

While throughout most of the Baishen Plane, the rule of the jungle was active, when it came to powers of equal strength, whether it be two people or two Empires, it was usually finder\'s keepers.

So whoever found something first would be able to control it.

However, Feng Hui proudly announced that even though they found it first, the Gen Empire could only bring in 60 Black-Robed Students.

This meant that either Feng Hui\'s previous story was nonsense or that the Kun Empire was just that much stronger than the Gen Empire.

After all, being able to not only kill a soldier of theirs but also take their secret realm away meant that there was a serious power gap between the two neighbors.

And Xue Bai was more inclined to believe the latter.

But it wasn\'t his place to speak up about this, and he let Feng Hui continue narrating the story.

"The laws of the secret realm are rather simple. The only people allowed inside have to be under the age of 30 while also having a cultivation base under the Dharma Idol realm. As long as you fulfill those two requirements, you can enter. And you all are the best students we have that fit those requirements." Feng Hui finished. However, as he did, he couldn\'t help but slightly turn his head and look at Xue Bai.

\'Well, except for one. But what does that matter? The faster this brat dies, the better.\' Fang Hui menacingly thought before he turned his head back around and continued guiding the students to their rooms for the next few days.

"But beyond those rules set by the Senior who created this secret realm, the Kun Empire Merit Board is now being activated!" Fang Huo proudly announced.

Xue Bai was confused about the noun, but it didn\'t last long as, coincidentally, the students near him started to discuss the Kun Empire Merit Board.

"I remember that I still have 400 points on the Kun Empire Merit Board! So if I get 100 more, I can get that peak Yellow-grade sword I was looking at!"

"You\'re lucky. I wasted all of my points on healing pills. I almost died in the last skirmish."

Hearing the information-packed discussion, Xue Bai was easily able to understand what the Kun Empire Merit Board was.

Apparently, by killing Kun Empire cultivators, depending on both their standing and cultivation base, one would be able to redeem points in the Kun Empire Merit Board.

And the Kun Empire Merit Board itself was basically a shopping catalog funded by both the business of the Gen Empire and the Empire itself.

\'More ways to get resources, I guess?\' Xue Bai inwardly shrugged.

He didn\'t care for the prestige of the Gen Empire nor about protecting it. But he was able to get behind the idea of killing people for money. Human life was cheap in this world. Being able to get some money from killing someone was far more than most people could get.

Even more so now that he knew that Xiao Xuan was from the Kun Empire. Something about the man\'s name made Xue Bai think of Xiao Mo, especially since Xiao Xuan seemed like the devouring protagonist troupe.

After all, the man had only a low Yellow-grade Martial Vein but could cultivate at speeds that could contest a Child of the Plane. If he wasn\'t a devouring protagonist troupe, then he had to have been lying about his true Martial Vein rank.

However, it still didn\'t connect in Xue Bai\'s mind.

What the hell did two random people on two separate continents have to do with each other?

The most reasonable explanation, and the one that Xue Bai wanted to think was true, was that after he slashed open the void, he also caused something to fall at Xiao Xuan\'s feet and make him into the genius he was.

But something in Xue Bai screamed that wasn\'t the case.

Something deep inside him was screaming that Xiao Xuan was something far beyond what he was thinking.

Yet Xue Bai didn\'t know what else to think!

What was connecting the two?

What was inside Xue Bai that was warning him?

What could possibly be scarier than Xiao Mo?

It was an enigma, and this entire week, Xue Bai had lost sleep over it. However, hopefully, now, it will all come to an end.

Once they entered the secret realm, Xue Bai was just going to kidnap the first Kun Empire citizen he found and get the information he needed!
