Holding into the sides of their boats, everyone felt an immense adrenaline rush through their veins.
Donghai''s eyes widened, seeing the boats rise several inches above the waters.
This... This...
Police Academy had never prepared them for such a magical sight.
Can he say his heart was too thunderstruck to be ready?
Whoosh!
The boats became flying before everyone could react
"Hold on!!!" Someone eximed, and everyone quickly reached for either one another or the corners of the boats.
However, they soon realized that physics didn''t matter in this situation.
There was no heavy air draft blowing in their faces and nothing that could shake them heavily.
It was strange to say that the boat was an open-air one, yet it felt as though they were some protective shell that deviated the massive airflow that should be blowing in their cheeks and eyes.
"So steady?"
Ghu Dwo was shocked, realizing he didn''t fall backward from momentum.
No...
Move left, move right; he found he could walk about as though the boats were stationary.
What a magical experience.
Everyone else thought the same, calming down and focusing on the stunning sights before them.
.
Whoosh!
The costs, several inches above the waters, soon became slowly down, as though to let them take in all sights around them.
"Wow! Look at the waters!"
Sota was so mesmerized by the strange link fishes that suddenly emerged. They began glowing the money they reached the surface. But what did they see? These fishes suddenly shit out of the water, and their find turned from pink to blue wings.
That''s right.
Blue Wings!
These fishes began pping away, flying into the academy alongside them.
"Dad, what sort of bird is this?"
Ghu Dwo didn''t answer, also dumbfounded by the scene before him.
Hello? He too was seeing this for the first time, okay?
Everyone gaped with widened mouths, seeing the birds fly beside them.
What''s more, these fish-birds were blowing beautiful bubbles too mesmerizing not to pay attention to.
Wow!
Many eximed, taking in the many strange fishes they saw on the water''s surface.
At this point, they even began wondering if they were still in their original world.
But how would they have known that this was just the tip of the iceberg?
Old Hou squinted his eyes, seeing them approaching the beautiful seashores.
"Old Gia, Old Ghu, Old Madam Ghu... It looks like we''ll soon be leaving the boats."
"Mmmm."
The old cronies hummed with their canes in their hands.
Please, their backpacks were held by their respective butlers. So they were as free as a bird.
Old Madam Ghu thinned her lips. "We''re about to step into the ind. In such a ce, danger will always be imminent."
Right.
p Everyone nodded, keeping their vignce the closer their boats advanced.</anda>
But when they thought things woulde to a half, the boat''s sudden ascent even higher to the sky, and it was only then that they recalled Butler Sheng''s words once more.
[The boats will take you HALF-WAY through the journey...]
Halfway...
Indeed.
The ind was too big! Halfway would mean they still had a long way before getting off.
Everyone looked at each other, smiling wryly.
Such distances would take weeks and even months to move through, thanks to the ridiculous high mountains, low cantons, and strange regions.
And why was there a stairway alongside such a powerful waterfall? Who is going to use this ascent using this road?
The more they looked at thend from far above, the more cold sweat formed on their backs.
F***!
Just how massive is this ce?
(?0?)
.
Very steadily, the boats flew high.
First, after leaving the shores, they passed through a strange jungle with strange nts reaching out to grab them off the boats.
But that wasn''t all.
Following that, the boats suddenly dropped several feet down into a massive hole-like space filled with blue-glowing nts and low-level trees.
Their hearts almost leaped off their chests when the boats dropped to such low depths.
F***!
They could say the depth was akin to a mountain''s; only they were going that same length downwards, along the waterfalls.<sub> </sub>
This descent should take a person several days and even a few weeks toplete if overly slow.
Yet, they passed through in no time, reaching the bottom.
But what''s this? Why were the tiny creatures here also so strange? The frogs were odd colored and the butterflies the size of a mouse.
So peculiar...
The journey was too eventful.
They once again passed through the strange blue forest before ascending far up another mighty height again, now passing through and of inds with purple root pirs elevating them far above the waters, making one feel they were floating.
These elevatednds were all connected by beautiful stone bridges.
But what also surprised them was that looking at the clear waters, there seemed to be some inds submerged underwater.
Wow!
The boats left the scene, taming them through another open in filled with ankle-length grass that stretched for very far distances.
And here, they saw another bunch of strange animals grazing about thend.
Up next, they passed through a ce filled with giant nts and flowers.
In short, all sorts of strange scenarios were passed by them for over 4 and a half hours now.
They had interacted with some birds and animals while also making a mental note of the routes passed.
Up, down, sideways, underwater through some hidden passages, up again, down, and so on.
With all they saw, it might take several weeks and even months to pass through if they didn''t get lost.
But even after seeing all this, their excitement knew no bounds.
Their muscles clenched, their lips quivered, and their eyeballs burst out exaggeratedly.
The heavenly Tian Academy sight didn''t disappoint them.
Who knew that all this was only half of the journey?
.
Vmmmm~
Every gently, thest finallynded on several of the floatingnd masses they reached.
That''s right.
Thesends weren''t held by anything but were actually afloat far high up.
And now, Butler Sheng''s following instructions echoed out in their minds again.
[Hop on the floating stones to continue.]
Floating stones?
(?^?)
On the floating inds, one could see several rocks elevating inches off the ground.
These should be the stones they were looking for, right?
But what if they fall?
Gulp.
Deputy Director Xiang Shore took deep breaths and stepped on a nearby stone.
And unexpectedly, the stone began to rise, kidnapping him away.
Ahhh~
He lost his bnce, falling straight down. Everyone had a grim expression, a little scared to be the 2nd to test things out.
However, they had concluded things too early.
Whoosh!
The stone rushed to his side.
And with quick hands, Xiang Shore granted on it and was now seated on the stone.
"Hahahahahaha~... So awesome!... I feel alive!!! Hahahahaha~... See you slowpoke, Gia... Hahahahaha~"
Everyone watched him vanish forward before their very eyes.
"..."
.
Slowpoke? He... Old Gia?
Good. Very good.
Old Gia quickly took a seat on one and flew away.
''Slowpoke?''
Squinted his eyes, he soon realized that the more he leaned forward, the faster the time went.
Hehehehehehe...
"Old Xiang... How about we race?"
[Old Master Hou]: "Mind if I tag along?"
[Old Madam Ghu]: "If I can beat all of you when we were younger, I can bloody well do it again."
[Old Master Ghu]: "It looks kike the old team is back."
Old Ghu, Old Madam Ghu, and Old Hou had appeared beside Old Gia and Deputy Director Xiang Shore!
Everyone chuckled, seeing the adults being so silly. It was a great sight to see them look normal, having fun.
The gang stared at each other with smiles on their faces.
1 2, 3...
Go!
The race was on!
