Baiyu looked up.

The gigantic steam airship anchored in the sky, countless cloud paddles rose from the holes on its sides, resembling mechanical wings.

Every ten minutes.

The top layer of the airship’s thousands of vents would emit dense white steam.

The body of the airship is assembled from numerous alloy iron plates.

It doesn’t seem big from afar, but in reality, a single iron gate is roughly the size of a basketball court.

A massive number of iron plates closely bonded together form this colossal entity.

"Ika Erza, ranked thirty-seventh among the Imperial steamships, has served for over twenty years, carrying countless Imperial soldiers..."

Baiyu saw the five words "Ika Erza" written in East Prosperity Imperial language on the side of the airship, and recalled this illustrious history of the steamship.

The top fifty ships of the Imperial fleet are all legendary ships.

The East Prosperity Imperial, able to suppress the four corners and become one of the strongest empires on the Southeast Continent of Canglan Star, relies on unmatched military power. Steamships are a direct representation of a nation’s military might.

Baiyu organized everyone to disembark sequentially.

As the class monitor, he mostly acts in an honorary role, mainly for appearances, not really managing affairs.

The whole class knows he likes studying, so generally, the responsibilities of the class monitor are divided and handled by the study committee member, the life committee member, and the publicity committee member, and all three are happy to do so.

Today is a rare occasion seeing Baiyu organizing his classmates.

"Brother Yu, what do you think today’s exchange class will test?"

"Right, monitor, you are quite experienced in this, do you have any ideas?"

As everyone walked toward the steamship, they were also asking about the assessment.

This is the utmost importance.

After all, those who could come this far possess a certain level of strength and have steadfast minds.

They are all here to participate in the training camp.

"I’m not sure about the specifics, but one thing is certain, the upcoming assessment should not be easy. It’s an environment that schools cannot provide, perhaps a combat test..."

Baiyu thought of this point as soon as he saw the steamship.

In terms of volume, Baiyu estimated that steamships are ten times that of the aircraft carrier on Earth.

In other words, its length reaches a few thousand meters, and its width exceeds a thousand meters.

These are truly astonishing figures.

Looking up from the ground, the entire steamship resembles a moving continent.

Only the combination of magic energy and massive steam engines could drive such a miraculous mechanical creation.

Ika Erza did not anchor.

There’s no facility here for it to land.

The teaching group from Linjiang First Middle School, led by Qiong Jiu, awaited everyone in front of a small guard ship of Ika Erza.

Worth mentioning.

The elusive leadership team of Linjiang First Middle School was also present.

Vice Principal, Jiang Gan.

Jiang Gan is a middle-aged man with a prosperous gut, giving signs of excessive social engagements.

Every time Baiyu saw him, he was always smiling merrily, with a bald head, giving off a warm yet incredibly dependable vibe.

"Little Yu."

Jiang Gan saw Baiyu approaching, his double-chinned face beamed even brighter, patting the shoulder and saying:

"Do your best today, beat the other schools, and bring glory to Linjiang First Middle School."

"Vice Principal, aren’t you teaching us to be united?" Ning Qian asked from the side.

Jiang Gan’s smile stiffened for a moment, "Of course, unity is crucial, our Human Race has lasted this long due to unparalleled unity surpassing other races!"

But appropriate competition is needed for you youngsters to stir your fighting spirit."

"But last time you told me to be happy as a salted fish in the rear." Ning Qian asked again.

Jiang Gan’s smile truly froze.

This kid has the same demeanor as her father, sharp-tongued and daring to speak out.

"Xiao Qian, go help Baiyu and me buy a bottle of water, your Brother Baiyu must be thirsty, hurry along."

Jiang Gan found a reason Ning Qian couldn’t refuse to send her off.

Then instructing Qiong Jiu to organize the Martial Artist Class students to board the guard steamship to Ika Erza for the final exchange class assessment.

After accomplishing all these, he pulled Baiyu aside.

"Little Yu, Qiong Jiu must have told you, this exchange class is quite important, although it happens every year, this year is special as you may know."

Jiang Gan pulled Baiyu aside.

"How is this year special?"

"Uh, honestly there is no harm in telling you.

Due to certain teaching philosophies, our school’s college entrance exam results haven’t been ideal in recent years.

This year, the Martial Arts School Alliance can’t bear the pressure anymore.

Unless we exceed Pinghong in the number of top students this year or attain the top scorer in the college entrance exams, half of our teaching resources might be cut.

You wouldn’t want to see your juniors suffer, right?

This exchange class is crucial, usually, past top scorers achieved excellent results in exchange classes and entered the training camp where they emerged."

Jiang Gan appeared helpless.

"So Principal Jiang, you’re hoping I can attain the top scorer?" Baiyu asked.

"Absolutely, you are the most hopeful this year."

"But as you know my personality, I don’t like being too conspicuous." Baiyu hesitated, rubbing his thumb and middle finger together.

Jiang Gan immediately understood, amused by this kid:

"As long as you become the top scorer, the benefits are plentiful.

Needless to say, the top scorer from Linjiang City can attend any university nationwide.

I’ll arrange some adjustments, ensuring comfort in the martial arts school. Moreover, if you become the top scorer, I’ll make you a living iron weapon!"

"Principal Jiang, I’m embarrassed, living iron weapons are precious to you."

Baiyu stopped his gestures, seriously said: "Principal Jiang, I have another request. After this exchange class, could you grant me access to the fourth level of the school library? I want to familiarize myself with some university-level knowledge."

Jiang Gan frowned slightly, not immediately agreeing: "Little Yu, it’s good you like studying. But if your mental capacity doesn’t meet the requirements, recklessly accessing mysticism knowledge can easily cause issues."

"I will proceed accordingly, and back off immediately if it doesn’t work."

"Well, I’ll accompany you after the assessment ends."

Jiang Gan was not at ease.

Everything else is minor, he couldn’t let such a promising student be ruined.

Soon.

Baiyu and Jiang Gan came to an agreement, arm in arm, heading to the guard ship, each smiling mischievously.

Ika Erza’s guard fleet consisted of dozens of ships.

Each school basically took separate guard ships up, and this time, the assessment was judged by five parties.

Namely, Linjiang Armed Department, Anomaly Bureau, Martial Arts School Alliance, Church.

These four parties will send representatives.

Along with the leadership from each school, forming five parties making the judgment.

However, typically these four parties are just going through the motions; ultimately, the schools generally decide the rankings.
