Lu Sheng looked out the window, and what met his eyes was a scene similar to Space Orbital Station No. 128 in the Celestial Mist Star System.
However, in the endless space outside the orbital station, stars were floating, each one radiating different colors of light.
Faintly, Lu Sheng could even sense the breath of cannon fire.
It felt different from the Celestial Mist Star System.
After all, the Celestial Mist Star System was still one of the four major star systems at the rear of the Human Federation, while the Star River Star System was one of the front-line three major star systems.
After watching for a while, Lu Sheng slowly withdrew his gaze and followed the crowd off the transport spaceship.
Du Bai followed Lu Sheng closely behind.
Outside the spaceship, a middle-aged man dressed in sky-blue clothes was already waiting for them.
On his garments, there were stars carved into them, as if starlight was twinkling.
"Welcome to the Star River Star System. Here, your three-hundred-year journey at Star River University will begin."
"Next, according to the mentors you have chosen, we will send you to the planets where your mentors are located. Those whose names I call will step forward and someone will guide you to the spaceship you will board."
The middle-aged man didn’t beat around the bush and immediately took out a list and started reading aloud.
A young man waved his hand and then stepped forward, promptly being led away to the spaceship he was to board.
One by one, names were called, and over six thousand students from Tianqi Star left one by one, leaving fewer and fewer people behind.
The middle-aged man suddenly called out.
Chen Moyun, who was standing next to Lu Sheng, smiled faintly, lightly punching Lu Sheng’s chest and saying, "I’m off!"
After speaking, Chen Moyun turned and stepped forward elegantly.
The middle-aged man also smiled at Chen Moyun and said, "Good lad, remember to study hard and strive to become an outstanding student in the future!"
Then a staff member stepped forward and led Chen Moyun away.
Lu Sheng watched Chen Moyun’s departing figure, silently offering his blessings. Although he hadn’t known Chen Moyun for long, Lu Sheng already considered him a friend.
Before long, Lu Sheng’s name was also called.
The middle-aged man looked at Lu Sheng, giving him the same smile he had given Chen Moyun, and said, "Follow Mentor Gumo well, and you will undoubtedly become an excellent student in the future!"
Lu Sheng remained composed, nodding calmly.
Behind him, Du Bai quietly stood, head bowed, as if afraid the middle-aged man would notice him.
However, this ostrich-like behavior couldn’t fool anyone, and the middle-aged man simply laughed and said, "Du Bai, you’re hitching a ride with this junior again?"
"You’ve been at Star River University for so long and you still seem so unreliable!"
Du Bai lifted his head, giving an awkward smile, then quickly lowered his head again, saying no more.
Lu Sheng felt a bit strange hearing the middle-aged man’s words, glanced at Du Bai behind him, but said nothing.
Under the guidance of the staff, they walked out of the space jump station to where a small spaceship was docked.
"Planet Level Shadow Eagle II Exploration Ship!"
Lu Sheng looked at the smaller spaceship with slight surprise, comparing it to the rookies and falcons.
"The main feature of the Shadow Eagle model exploration ship is its speed. In front-line operations, such ships are used to gather information, much like scouts in ancient times."
"Extremely fast, but with limited internal space, comparable to ancient fighter jets, only able to accommodate two or three people."
"Still, it’s sufficient for just Senior Brother Bai and me!"
Lu Sheng nodded to himself, and he and Du Bai boarded the Shadow Eagle Exploration Ship.
They didn’t have to wait long before the Shadow Eagle Exploration Ship took off, heading in a specific direction.
Sitting on the spaceship, Lu Sheng couldn’t help but look at Du Bai.
At this moment, Du Bai seemed dazed, staring blankly ahead, his thoughts unknown.
Lu Sheng coughed, bringing Du Bai out of his contemplation.
"Senior Brother Bai, can you tell me about our mentor?"
Lu Sheng asked Du Bai.
Du Bai was initially stunned, then came to his senses, putting away his laziness, and slowly began to speak.
"Actually, you don’t need me to tell you; once you get there, you’ll naturally understand the situation. But since you asked, I’ll give you an introduction first."
"Do you know that at our Star River University, research factions are divided into many branches?"
Lu Sheng nodded. He had seen similar content on the Star River University forum and said,
"I know this. Different directions in research have led to the formation of many branches. Some factions like to study machinery, often providing mecha research for New Wu, while others explore the mysteries of the human body, striving to push the limits of the human form."
In short, it’s research in different fields.
"That’s right. Different fields of expertise lead to different factions. For example, our Life Factions excel in the research of the life domain, founded a thousand years ago by a seventh-level Martial Artist."
