1641 An Ancient Warship! Ancient Runes! (1)


    An ancient warship flew through the emptiness at a swift speed, too fast to be seen by the naked eye.


    At the ship’s bottom deck, in a spacious and luxuriously decorated room—Wang Teng saw a familiar figure.


    “Invigtor Sikong!” the hero eximed in surprise when he saw the expert.


    “Haha, surprised to see me?” asked the senior with augh.


    Wang Teng: …


    This invigtor is a little cheeky.


    “Invigtor, why are you here?” he asked.


    “To wee you personally. Our academy values you highly.” The elderughed once more.


    Wang Teng blinked; he was honestly startled. “I’m honored.”


    Sikong the Second was a profound eternal stage expert. Even so, he personally went there to greet him.


    Is it true, as he said, that the Seventh Ster Academy values me greatly?


    “Don’t overthink. You entered the Star Rankings; this treatment is only natural,” said the elder.


    The hero nodded in response.


    “You can call me Instructor Sikong from now on, as I also teach at the academy.”


    “All right.” Wang Teng was surprised, only then realizing the man’s additional identity. Nodding, he said, “Instructor Sikong!”


    “Good. Rest assured, choosing our Seventh Ster Academy is the wisest decision you could make,” the elder replied happily.


    “I’ve never regretted the choice I made,” Wang Teng said calmly.


    Now it was time for the instructor to be shocked. He nced at the young student and chuckled. “I like your character. No wonder you’vee this far.”


    “You tter me, Instructor,” the hero replied in a humble manner.


    The senior beckoned him and said, “Come, let’s sit and have a chat.”


    Wang Teng epted the offer and sat down on afortable sofa. “Instructor, how long does it take to reach the academy?”


    “Our warship, although equivalent to eternal ss, is three times faster than the ordinary vessels at full speed. We’ll reach the Seventh Ster Academy in just a few days,” Sikong the Second exined while pouring a ss of fragrant wine for the hero. He then crossed his legs.


    “What?” Someone gasped in Wang Teng’s mind. It was Round Ball, taken aback by the revtion.


    The hero was simrly dumbfounded, knowing how fast simr-ss ships were.


    Previously, when he returned to Yuming, he had actually used an eternal-level spacecraft. Such a speed was far beyond what a universe-level ship couldpare to, saving him a considerable amount of time.


    And yet, Sikong the Second told him that their vessel’s speed was three times that of a normal eternal-level spacecraft. It was terrifying!


    “Wang Teng, ask him if the warship was built using the Paleo n’s technology! Ask him! Hurry!” Round Ball’s eager voice resonated in Wang Teng’s mind.


    “The Paleo n’s technology?!” A trace of curiosity shed in Wang Teng’s eyes. The fact that the ship was rted to the Paleo n surprised him. Keeping hisposure in check, he asked, “Instructor Sikong, why is this warship so fast?”


    “Because it’s a Paleo n’s warship,” Sikong the Second nced at him and said.


    “A Paleo n’s warship!” Wang Teng pretended to be confused. “How amazing.”


    “All right, enough with the acting. You should know a little about the Paleo n,” Sikong the Second said.


    “Instructor, what are you saying? I don’t understand. I don’t know what the Paleo n is.” The hero kept ying the oblivious part.


    “Kid, stop pretending. The physical skill you used back in the League of Talents belongs to the Paleo n,” said the elder as he pointed at his new junior with a wry smile.


    “Cough, all right. The secret is out.” Wang Teng coughed awkwardly.


    He should have guessed that he couldn’t fool the instructors from the Seven Ster Academies. The golden symbol that appeared on his forehead whenever he executed the Ancient God’s Body was written with the Paleo n’s Language.


    Perhaps he could deceive the ones unaware, but he couldn’t deceive the instructors from the Seven Ster Academies.


    The senior smiled and said nonchntly “How cautious of you. That’s good. Being cautious will keep you alive.”


    “However, I don’t know anything about the Paleo n’s warships,” Wang Teng said.


    “Let me exin to you then.” Sikong the Second contemted for some time before continuing, “The warship was discovered in some ancient ruins, and the consensus is that it was behind by an ancient race. Not only does it possess astonishing defensive capabilities, the speed surpasses that of modern ships, and the difference is significant. It garnered much attention when it came out; we conducted research on it and managed to acquire some ancient runic knowledge. We found that the runic technology from back then differs greatly from the ones used today.”


    “It seems that we are far inferior to those ancient ns!”


    “Oh my…” Wang Teng didn’t know what to say. It was truly shocking to hear such a statement from his instructor.


    The man admitted that they were inferior whenpared to the ancient races!


    While our hero was aware of the immense power those ancient ns held, and of their countless legends throughout the universe, he had always believed that modern day humanity was stronger.


    After all, the ancient ns were already gone, while the human race was the true dominator of the universe in recent times.


    “Surprised?” Sikong the Second asked with a smile.


    “Yes.” The young man nodded.


    “There’s no shame in admitting that we’re not as great as our predecessors. We are still researching what they left behind, hoping to one day surpass them,” the senior said.
