Free Web Novel“Teacher Luo, can we really find the Time Shipyard in this direction? This compass points north one moment and south the next, as if it’s deliberately toying with us. It’s too unreliable.”
Chang Yunlin, tired and cold, felt as if his limbs no longer belonged to him, especially his legs, which were sore, weak, and on the verge of giving out.
They had been circling in the Icefield Sea all day.
The compass needle was acting erratically, spinning wildly in all directions.
If not for Luo Yang’s gloomy aura, he would have cursed out loud long ago.
Hearing Chang Yunlin’s complaint, Luo Yang’s gaze sharpened. “Don’t forget the agreement you signed before we set out! Also, the compass will never be wrong!
If there’s a mistake, it’s because you three are too useless to stabilize the Time Shipyard.”
The compass in his hand was actually an item from the Directionless Ship, obtained by the principal.
It had only one function: to sense the exact location of the Time Shipyard.
Legend has it that every ship in the Time Shipyard has such a compass, guiding those favored by time back to the shipyard.
However, the Time Shipyard is hidden in the Time Realm, and its position changes slightly with the passage of time.
This is what is meant by ‘the vast changes of time’.
Its location appears to be constantly changing, but in reality, it is not; what is changing is the surrounding environment.
If the Time Shipyard is to open to someone, it will fix itself at a specific point in time, and its position will not change for a short period.
So, the problem isn’t the compass; it’s these three, who are too useless and not favored by time.
The three youths, mercilessly belittled, felt ashamed and angry, but dared not retort due to Luo Yang’s status.
They awakened a Five-Star quality Soul Key with their first one; how were they useless?
There were only three geniuses like them in the entire country this year, alright!
“Don’t be unconvinced; at least you can’t compare to Mingxi.”
Luo Yang, being an old fox, naturally saw their resentment. “It’s a pity that Mingxi doesn’t know what’s good for her, otherwise there would have been hope for the Time Shipyard to reappear.”
Thinking of the girl who had made him frustrated, Luo Yang felt both annoyed and regretful.
But it was also that girl’s bad luck; if she had agreed to the internal recruitment, she would have definitely come with them this time.
With the compass guiding them, perhaps she really could have entered the Time Shipyard.
It was just that Mingxi’s vision was too narrow.
Luo Yang didn’t know that the world before the Mingxi he regretted and despised was rapidly changing.
It was as if a large hand was peeling off the yellowed wallpaper, layer by layer, revealing the true world behind it.
There, a quiet, ancient shipyard stood silently by the seashore.
The marks of time’s erosion were clearly visible.
The wooden ships on the frames had lost their former glory, appearing dilapidated.
The walls were covered with unfamiliar vines, flourishing in the tranquil sea breeze.
“Is this... the Time Shipyard?”
Mingxi stared blankly at the scene before her. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
She somewhat doubted if she was dreaming.
She stood outside this world, her eyes bewildered yet tinged with anticipation.
“Thump, thump...”
Her heart pounded like a drum, threatening to burst out.
But even so, she didn’t forget to quickly form a hand seal to summon Lan Yue.
She didn’t know what awaited them ahead, but deep down, a voice seemed to echo constantly.
“Bring your pet beasts in!”
Mingxi looked at Golden Yuanbao and the two other beasts beside her.
She asked for their opinions.
“This is most likely the Time Shipyard that Brother Zhou mentioned. We can’t be sure if there’s danger inside, so do we go in or not?”
“Lei!”
“Luo Luo!”
“Ice Extremity!”
Golden, Silver, and Lan almost answered in unison, their three pairs of eyes filled with curiosity and a desire to explore the unknown world.
Mingxi nodded.
“Alright then, we’ll go in together. Golden Yuanbao leads the way, Little Silver Flower is ready with the Barrier and healing, and Lan Yue, you provide support.”
They could be reckless and adventurous, but necessary precautions still had to be taken.
Mingxi thought for a moment, still feeling a bit uneasy, and took out three zhuangdan fruits from the Time Realm.
“You each eat one first.”
The energy value of Lan Yue after evolution had thoroughly proven the effect of the zhuangdan fruit, so the value of the zhuangdan fruit could no longer be measured by previous standards.
Mingxi estimated that it could increase a hundredfold, or even a thousandfold.
However, she was always generous with Golden Yuanbao and the others; her purpose in earning star coins was originally for them.
So, no matter how precious the zhuangdan fruit was, she would never hesitate to use it when needed.
Golden Yuanbao and Lan Yue straightforwardly took the zhuangdan fruit.
Little Silver Flower, who disliked the bitter taste of the zhuangdan fruit, hesitated.
Mingxi stroked its dull gray fur and advised, “Be good, what if there’s danger inside? An extra bit of strength means an extra bit of security.”
“...Luo.”
Little Silver Flower pouted, its lips sticking out so much that an oil bottle could hang from them.
But it still took the zhuangdan fruit, though its expression was as if it were eating poison.
Golden Yuanbao, who had already swallowed the zhuangdan fruit, watched Little Silver Flower’s hesitant and dawdling manner, and then looked at its younger brother’s swift and decisive movements...
Its blood-red eyes flickered slightly.
It seemed Little Silver Flower was still too delicate, which meant it hadn’t suffered enough.
It would need more training later.
Ding!
Your demon drill sergeant is online.
Please check in promptly!
With everything ready, Mingxi no longer delayed and fearlessly walked towards the dilapidated shipyard ahead.
The moment Mingxi’s foot touched the ground of the shipyard, everyone currently in the Icefield Sea felt the ground shake violently.
It was as if an extremely heavy and massive object had suddenly fallen nearby.
In the distance, a mysterious colorful light flashed and disappeared.
Luo Yang, not far ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) away, felt his heart tighten. He stared wide-eyed at the compass in his hand; the trembling needle had stopped.
Not even a slight tremor appeared anymore; it was motionless, solid as a rock.
“How could this be? Has the Time Shipyard really appeared?” frёewebnoѵēl.com
He turned around; the needle pointed back the way they had come.
But there was nothing there except an endless snowfield.
A bad premonition rose in his heart.
At the same time, Mingxi had already led Golden Yuanbao and the two other beasts into the Time Shipyard.
Upon entering, a decaying, old scent wafted over them.
The metal platforms and handrails were covered in rust, and the ground was covered in dust and wood chips.
It looked like a dilapidated shipyard that had been abandoned for a long time.
Aside from those broken-down small boats, there was nothing else.
An ordinary, utterly ordinary abandoned shipyard.
But it had indeed appeared suddenly before Mingxi’s eyes; she could feel that it was real, definitely not an illusion or a mirage.
“Could it be that because of its age, the Time Shipyard has long been abandoned?”
Mingxi stood at the outermost edge of the shipyard, not making any rash moves.
