Amidst the noisy environment, they heard several excited shouts from different areas.
Examinees from all over the country gathered together; even though the total number was less than 0.1% of all Grade Three students, it was still an astonishing figure.
230,788 people.
That was the final data compiled by the Ministry of Education.
Even though Emperor Capital Airport was the largest airport in the country, Terminal 1 could accommodate tens of thousands of people at once.
But it absolutely could not handle 230,000 people at once.
Even if it could, such a large number of people could easily lead to accidents.
For example, stampedes, or difficulty in management.
Therefore, led by the Ministry of Education, with assistance from the Military and Police Department and the National Aerospace Administration, these 230,000 students were divided into 20 batches.
Examinees from each school entered the terminal in batches according to their time slots, and then were transported to the space station by a traction engine.
Even so, Terminal 1 at this moment was still packed like a can of sardines.
It was a sea of people, understand!
⌓ ‿ ⌓
It was hard for Mingxi to still spot those familiar figures in this vast sea of people.
A sweet smile bloomed on her lips as she waved to the boys and girls rushing towards her.
“Senior Ye, Senior Chen, Senior Chuchu...”
Those excited faces were all very familiar to Mingxi.
Ye Xuanwu, Chen Xuan, Chuchu... they were all seniors from the Joint Training Camp.
After several months, they hadn't changed much.
Ye Xuanwu and the others pushed through the crowded people like wild bulls, as if they were rushing to a scene with ten thousand people.
There was an inexplicable aura of 'I will go even if there are millions of people'.
They successfully met up with Mingxi.
“Ming Shen, I knew you’d come!”
“Long time no see, Ming Shen.”
“Ming Shen, how have you been lately?”
“This time, it seems we can fight alongside you, Ming Shen.”
“Ming Shen...”
In the blink of an eye, Mingxi was surrounded by a group of people, who chattered incessantly, almost drowning out all the other sounds in the terminal.
The situation here was truly special, and many examinees had already noticed them.
“Who is that Xiao Guniang?”
“Did you hear that? Didn’t that group of people just call her Ming Shen?”
“Ming Shen? Who is that? Who dares to use such an overbearing title?”
“I know, it’s Mingxi! It’s the Mingxi from the New Talent Rankings!”
“Mingxi? The little sister with three new evolved forms?”
“My goodness! Didn’t they say she’s only in Grade One of high school?”
“That’s not right, is it? Isn’t she a 14-year-old Xiao Guniang? Then she should be in Grade Two or Grade Three of junior high, right?”
“Are you out of touch? She skipped the junior high entrance exam and just started Grade One of high school this year!” freewebnoveℓ.com
“Isn't that young man Ye Xuanwu from Bei Yi Vocational High School? I heard he’s the strongest Grade Three student at Bei Yi Vocational High School this year, and he’s arrogant and doesn’t respect anyone!
But look at him, smiling so cheaply at Mingxi. Arrogant? He’s more like a clown!”
“It’s not just Ye Xuanwu; that beautiful woman next to him is also from Bei Yi, Qiuhaitang. She’s also a genius Beast Tamers. Look at her attitude towards Mingxi...”
“The one on the right is Chen Dali from our Sihai High School, the most impressive big shot in our school.”
“...”
Whether it was Ye Xuanwu, Qiuhaitang, or Chen Dali, Chen Xuan, those who could be selected for the special training camp, apart from the special case of Bei Yi, were almost all prodigies of this generation.
They had previously achieved excellent results in the National High School Beast Tamers League, either reaching the top eight or the top four.
Therefore, quite a few examinees present recognized them.
And now, ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) so many prodigies were actively approaching the same person, and their gazes towards the girl were very similar.
Adoration, respect, admiration.
That was the gaze of the weak looking at the strong!
“Who exactly is this Mingxi?!”
Many people were asking themselves the same question.
More and more gazes focused on Mingxi, as if they wanted to pierce through her.
Although she had grown accustomed to being stared at, being watched by so many people at once still made Mingxi feel as if her clothes weren't thick enough.
Fortunately, they soon began boarding under the guidance of the staff.
The traction engine was a transfer aircraft for landing on the space station.
Two hours later.
Longhua Country's Space Station No. 04, named 'Fortress', thus unveiled its mysterious veil before these half-grown youths.
“Is this the Fortress Space Station? It’s so magnificent!”
Mingxi’s large, bright eyes were wide open, her hands propped against the huge observation window, her gaze passing through the transparent porthole and directed towards the mysterious and magnificent universe outside.
And this city in the sky made of steel.
The space station's exterior gleamed with a cold metallic luster; it was composed of countless sturdy modules pieced together.
Every piece of metal, every bit of air within it, carried humanity's dream and courage to explore space.
Without the atmosphere's barrier, the sunlight became even more dazzling.
The surface of the space station reflected a dazzling light, like a brilliant pearl embedded in the dark backdrop of the universe.
From here, Mingxi could see distant planets, large or small, bright or dim, each emitting its unique charm.
Some planets' surfaces were covered with ravines and mountains, as if they were masterpieces of nature;
Others were enveloped by thick atmospheres, presenting a dreamlike array of colors.
Around the space station, there were also countless asteroid belts.
They twinkled with faint light, like diamonds embedded on black velvet, shimmering brightly.
Faintly, one could also see some distant galaxies, like giant swirling vortices, slowly rotating and emitting an endless mysterious aura.
In this vast universe, even this magnificent Fortress Space Station seemed so tiny.
Many students around were excitedly screaming and shouting.
Although humanity's exploration of the interstellar universe had long reached an extremely high degree, in reality, most people on Blue Star might never even have the chance to leave Blue Star once in their entire lives.
Not only because the country's review of interstellar travel was extremely strict.
But also because the cost of interstellar travel was extremely expensive, beyond the means of ordinary families.
That's why, despite the high mortality rate of the January Global Martial Exam, so many students still chose to sign up.
Many students came for the opportunity to board the space station and spacecraft for free this time.
After all, if they lost this opportunity, they might never have the chance to see this vast and boundless universe again.
“Is this the universe?”
Mingxi sighed.
She never thought she would one day stand on a space station and gaze at the universe.
“How is it? Isn’t it stunning?”
Ms. Chen Haiyan, wearing a sexy yet elegant cheongsam, had appeared beside Mingxi at some point.
Mingxi nodded.
“Teacher Chen, do you know which direction Green Field Star is in?”
