Chapter 622: Ro Wang Island
Chapter 622: Ro Wang Island
On June 25th, at noon, Du Yi Hotel.
Chen Chuan had invited a group of old acquaintances and classmates to have a meal here. Wei Chang'an and his team, Feng Xiaoqi, Luo Kaiyuan, Ren Shixiong, and Lin Xiaoti, among others, had all arrived.
Although it had been a long time since they last met, they had kept in touch through phone calls, and after a few exchanges, the atmosphere quickly became lively. Before long, the dishes they ordered were served one by one.
Feng Xiaoqi picked up his chopsticks and said to Luo Kaiyuan beside him, "Do you feel that something's missing with the absence of Wu Xuelang and Wei Dong?"
Luo Kaiyuan agreed, as the presence of those two always made the food taste especially delicious. His eyes shone with eagerness, "Wei Dong has been studying at Wu Yi Academy for so long, I wonder how much stronger he has become compared to before."
Feng Xiaoqi muttered softly, "I guess he's surpassed us..."
The group was fairly evenly matched, but Wei Dong excelled in horizontal training and always managed to endure until the end, indicating his higher potential. This allowed him to stand out and eventually gain admission to the Central City Wu Yi Academy.
And once in Central City, with access to more resources, his improvement would undoubtedly be rapid.
Luo Kaiyuan's expression turned serious, "Xiaoqi, we must catch up with him when we go to Central City."
Feng Xiaoqi nodded in agreement.
If there was no hope of advancing further, it would be fine, but in their batch, they were the most outstanding students aside from Chen Chuan. The academy teachers believed they had the potential to reach higher limits, and they themselves had not given up, continuously striving to improve.
However, Yangzhi had limited resources to offer, and in the border city, few could break through to the third limit on their own. Only in Central City could they find a path forward.
Across from them, Wei Chang'an was chatting with Chen Chuan at that moment.
"Last time, you told us not to go to Central City yet, so we didn't set off. We took the opportunity to tie up some loose ends. I wonder how things are there now?"
Chen Chuan replied, "It was resolved a few days ago."
Cai Si asked from the side, "What happened, junior? Was Central City unable to handle it?"
The others also turned to listen, curious about the same question.
Those who had never been to Central City had a certain perception of it, even after hearing Chen Chuan's stories about the place. It was hard to imagine what kind of incident could affect the entire Central City.
Chen Chuan explained, "According to the official statement, the Linaksa Federation had been conducting illegal biological experiments at sea, causing a massive influx of biological creatures into Central City. Some mercenary groups took advantage of the chaos, and it was suspected that the Linaksa Federation was inciting them from behind the scenes, forcing the entire city into a state of martial law for several days.
During that time, Central City conducted rigorous checks on outsiders, and anyone suspicious would be arrested according to temporary regulations. So, it wasn't a good time to visit."
The group understood, but they looked at each other, realizing that there was more to the story than the official statement. However, they also knew that whether Chen Chuan was aware of the full details or not, it was not appropriate to press for further information.
Cai Si asked, "Is everything fine now?"
Chen Chuan replied, "It's back to normal now, and there's no hindrance to going to Central City."
"Good!" Wei Chang'an slapped the table and exclaimed, "Then we'll prepare and set off for Central City in a few days!"
Chen Chuan nodded lightly.
Everyone present had potential, and entering Central City would provide them with the environment to grow. As the other world drew closer to this one, every cultivatable power was precious.
Gao Ming had advised him to support those coming from Yangzhi as much as possible, and he agreed. However, he was about to leave for the outer islands first, and specific arrangements would have to wait until his return.
After the meal, he and the group agreed on future communication methods and parted ways, with Chen Chuan returning home.
Once in his room, he took out a map of the outer islands brought from Central City.
According to the information provided by Mr. Zuan, the rift existed on an island called Fei Guang Island. According to normal travel time, it would take approximately seven to ten days to reach there.
It was late June, so setting aside some extra time, he had a month to cultivate.
Airships were faster, but they were more affected by weather and air currents. He had checked and found no fixed flight routes there, and a transfer would be required, so he decided to take a ferry instead.
Two days ago, he had asked the duty personnel to book his ticket, and the departure date was set for the 28th, three days later.
Originally, his aunt had heard about his three-month vacation and suggested that he visit his great-aunt's family if he had time.
Since his great-aunt's family lived in the military, they could only send gifts during the holidays. Now it seemed that he would have to find another opportunity to visit them in the future.
Aside from cultivating at the rift, he had many other tasks to complete.
To break through to a higher realm, besides the hard conditions of spirit and body, one's own power techniques must also keep up.
He needed to make good use of this time, deeply research his own power, and create a unique heart energy of his own.
Since this requires the combination of spiritual power, it cannot be taught by others, but can only be acquired through self-cultivation.
He had already rested for a period of time, and the next two months would be a period of self-cultivation.
Three days later, he brought Chao Ming with him, bid farewell to his aunt's family, boarded the special vehicle, and after more than ten hours of driving, arrived at the Farview Port once again.
This time, as the trip was mainly for self-cultivation, and it was said to be a sea tourism trip, he didn't plan to bring the special vehicle's escort personnel. After arriving at the port, he asked them to return to the Processing Bureau to stand by.
It was now 9 a.m., and under the bright sunlight, he was accompanied by Chao Ming, carrying a luggage bag with his personal belongings, and headed towards the boarding bridge.
He had booked a first-class cabin, so he had priority boarding privileges.
After showing his ticket, the security personnel immediately cleared the way, and the ship's staff helped him untie the blocking rope and a dedicated bellboy came to carry his luggage, leading him to his own cabin.
Currently, most of the cruise businesses on the outer ocean were under two companies, Canglong Corporation and Ocean Expansion Group. However, due to the restrictions of the Great Prosperity government, there was still room for other cruise companies to survive. This time, he intentionally avoided booking tickets with these two companies.
He booked a ticket that was a combination of 1, 6, 1, 9, a book, and a look, which was a unique version!
The main reason was that his identity was sensitive, and these two companies would definitely pay attention first, making it inconvenient for him to act when the time came.
Upon reaching his cabin, he took a look around and was quite satisfied. The cabin had an independent living area, a living room, a dining room, and a mini kitchen, all in one. There was also a private viewing terrace with dedicated service staff, and a private training room for his own use.
There was also a public training ground on the ship, which was even larger, occupying almost an entire deck. There would be combat gambling tournaments held there in the evening, but he had no interest in them at all.
After putting his things away, he changed his clothes and went to the training room for his daily cultivation. At noon, he went to the restaurant for a meal and then returned to continue his cultivation.
By the time evening arrived, the cruise ship finally set sail, cutting through the deep blue waves under the colorful sky at dusk.
For the next several days, Chen Chuan, besides his daily training and pondering over heart energy, could completely relax. In his free time, he enjoyed the scenery on the sea, tasted delicious food, and watched various shows on the cruise ship.
Eight days later, the cruise ship arrived at the Ro Wang Island port.
Ro Wang Island was a famous tourist island, where the locals worshipped a goddess named Ahna. It was said that she created the life in the surrounding sea and suppressed the sea monsters trying to break through to the surface day and night.
The locals held grand worship ceremonies every month, but with the rise of the tourism industry, these ceremonies had mostly turned into song and dance performances.
Fei Guang Island, Chen Chuan's destination, was not too far away, but there was no direct route. He needed to find a ferry to get there.
After disembarking, he asked around and learned that it would take about half a day to get there. It was a volcanic island with few residents, and frequent earthquakes in recent years made it even less populated. Only the islanders came to buy supplies every half a month, and he was told that he might have to wait until the next time the islanders came to buy supplies.
However, it had only been three days since the last purchase, so if he waited, it might take around ten days, which was too long.
He thought for a moment and decided that there must be someone on the island who could take him there, but as he was unfamiliar with the place, he directly sought out the sheriff of the port town and gave him some money, asking him to help find someone on the island to take him to Fei Guang Island.
The sheriff, having received the money, confidently promised to arrange it within three days.
With that, Chen Chuan decided to stay at a local inn.
As a famous tourist island, Ro Wang Island had beautiful scenery. It was July, and the island was filled with vibrant hibiscus flowers. The white sandy beaches were crowded with tourists, and the blue sea was dotted with white sails.
The island also offered unique local delicacies, such as raw fish marinated in coconut milk and lime juice, charcoal-grilled shrimp and pork, and fresh tropical fruits. He sampled some of the food and also bought some local handicrafts as souvenirs, keeping some for himself and planning to give the rest as gifts.
This time, he didn't bring much, only the Snow Lady Sword, some spare clothes, and some gold notes from the Wan Sheng Corporation. Fortunately, there was a redemption point for the Wan Sheng Corporation on the island, so he didn't have to worry too much about expenses.
After waiting for two days, the sheriff received news and informed Chen Chuan that he had found a suitable person to take him to Fei Guang Island.
