Chapter 76 The Grand Stage of Exams: Come and Try It If You Dare!

Nuwa's affirmation of the value of the Fourth Star Ring Network exam was like a shot in the arm, giving Melina and others a lot of motivation.

They vowed to make this year's military academy assessment a major success, leaving a significant mark on the history of the Fourth Star Ring.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

The airship docked at the port of Haigexing.

"Dear Lin Xiaohe, after we disembark from the spaceship, we need to keep our distance. I wish you good luck on your exam."

Melina arranged for a flying car to take the Lin family to the Whale Hotel.

That's the safest hotel in Haigexing, and also the hotel that test takers like to stay in the most, similar to the outlet mall in the Fifth Star Ring.

Sitting in the flying car, Lin Xiaohe, like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world, stared wide-eyed at the scenery outside the window.

There was no sun in the sky, only an energy dome shimmering with a blue glow.

A giant, azure-blue whale soared into the air and crashed headlong into the energy dome.

Its fins spread out like a veil of stars. With each stroke, it creates a trail of twinkling light behind it, making it look absolutely dreamlike.

Its mouth was open, as if it were crying out in sorrow.

The moment it collided with the energy dome, its enormous body exploded with a deafening roar, like a brilliant shower of blue stars.

"What...what is this?" Lin Xiaohe was deeply shocked by this scene.

The driver in the flying car glanced at the blue sky and explained, "We are an ocean star, and the entire city is built inside a bubble space. What you see is an energy dome, used to protect us from stardust pollution."

"No!" Lin Xiaohe pointed to the dissipating blue starlight, "I'm talking about the blue giant whale."

The driver said "Oh," and glanced at the tiny blue dot out of the corner of his eye: "That's the afterimage of the [Mega Whale], a native creature of the Sea Song Star."

"Afterimage?"

"Yes, just like a mirage, under certain circumstances, it shows a scene that happened in the past."

Lin Xiaohe stared as the last wisp of blue completely dissipated into the air, and murmured, "Why did it crash into the dome?"

"Perhaps it's because they regretted it. This happened a long time ago. The Federation decided to build the fourth star ring and chose Sea Song Star as the political center. So they used an anti-gravity field generator to target the underwater hydrothermal vents and create a giant bubble."

The driver thought for a moment and continued, "The Federation brought technology to Sea Song Star, but it also brought stardust. Many marine creatures were affected by the stardust and went extinct. In order to continue their species, some of the Megalodons voluntarily accepted the stardust pollution, became mutated beasts, and flew into deep space, while a small portion remained on Sea Song Star."

Lin Xiaohe pressed further, "Are there still giant squawks now?"

"Haha, how could that be?" the driver laughed. "The Sonic Whale is beautiful. The iridescent scales covering its body, if implanted into a person's skin, would cause the skin to change with temperature. It's a very popular modification material."

The driver clicked his tongue softly: "Its song is also very beautiful, and it is said to be able to transcend time. People have discovered that if you tap its skull lightly, it can produce a sound that is even more beautiful than a pipe organ. The skull has become one of the most expensive musical instruments, commonly known as the 'whale sound'."

Lin Xiaohe didn't ask any more questions; a faint sadness welled up in her heart.

Seastar rose to prominence because of the giant whale, but now, Seastar still exists, while the giant whale has disappeared from the planet.

The car arrived at the Whale Hotel.

The hotel's exterior resembles the giant whale Lin Xiaohe saw, with iridescent film covering its facade, creating a flowing, pale blue hue under the dome.

The hotel looks like a giant sonar whale lying on land.

Lin Xiaohe developed a slight liking for the hotel because of her fondness for it.

But this initial goodwill turned into shock and disgust the moment she stepped into the hotel lobby.

The hotel is indeed built based on the skeleton of a massive sonic whale, which is remarkably well-preserved and radiates a soft, white glow. In the very center of the lobby stands a crystal harp, crafted from the whale's skull.

As soon as the breeze passed through the hall, the harp began to play ethereal music.

In front of the harp was a seabed stone with the following inscription:

They are the flowing Milky Way, hiding stars in their folds. When darkness engulfs all the lighthouses, only the whale's cry redraws the star map for the lost.

"Captain Lin, you also like megalos? They are the spirits of the ocean, so beautiful." The hotel manager greeted him.

The other staff members helped carry Lin Xiaohe's luggage to her room.

Lin Xiaohe: "I like the way they swim in the ocean and the sky, rather than looking like a fossil."

The hotel manager's expression froze.

Halder, who had been waiting in the lobby, clapped his hands and said, "Great minds think alike! Lin Xiaohe, would you be interested in joining our environmental organization?"

Halder said with deep sorrow, "Humanity has traversed the cosmos, yet brought devastating disasters to the native creatures of many planets. Our organization's philosophy is to protect life and coexist harmoniously!"

Lin Xiaohe had a very good impression of the young man in front of her: "Who are you?"

"Hard".

Well, my impression of him instantly plummeted.

Lin Xiaohe's gaze shifted from admiration to wariness, which aroused Halder's suspicion.

what's going on? !

Lin Ye and the others sneered as they watched Halder's attempt to curry favor fail.

Under the angry glares of the fourth star ring examinees, Lin Ye and the others approached Lin Xiaohe, their eyes filled with disdain as they sized her up.

"Someone that Marshal Chu values? I look forward to your performance in the exam. But I must remind you that the difficulty of this exam is unprecedented, comparable to the actual combat assessment at the Central Military Academy."

Lin Ye approached Lin Xiaohe, his deep eyes icy cold: "For some reason, the Education Bureau has reopened the registration channel. As far as I know, the top five of the Third Star Ring and the top 100 of the Second Star Ring have all registered."

His voice was sinister: "Their strength far exceeds your imagination. In order to attract Marshal Chu's attention, they will definitely join forces to kill you. You should know that what no one else can have, you, a commoner, should absolutely not have."

"In such a desperate situation, you cannot survive. Only by cooperating with us and relying on the strong can you win a glimmer of hope."

As if to verify his words, another group of test takers arrived at the hotel entrance.

The leader was a tall man with handsome features that exuded a cold and stern air. His eyes were sharp, and his thin lips were tightly pursed, giving him an undeniable air of dominance.

His gaze fell on Lin Xiaohe, his voice so cold it could shatter ice: "Lin Xiaohe?"

Lin Ye softly introduced to Lin Xiaohe, "You An, a big shot in the Third Star Ring, has one-quarter Chinese blood. Oh dear, what would you do without our help?"

Yu'an means someone of noble birth.

Lin Xiaohe scoffed; when it came to nobility, she was the most noble.

Her soul comes from the Blue Star, China!

Lin Xiaohe patted Lin Ye's face, her eyes filled with warning: "Since you share the same surname as me, I'll give you a piece of advice. Don't try to manipulate me, I don't fall for it!"

She met Yu An's gaze again, and beckoned with her finger: "The exam stage is here, come on if you dare. Go ahead?"
