Ethan didn't have any intention of mocking the Imperial Military Academy for researching this kind of tactic.

Often, without experiencing real war, no one can be sure what effect a theoretical tactic will have.

It was like these three planets that looked quite good from a distance. Once they were actually surveyed, problems were discovered.

After circling the three planets, all they gained was disappointment.

The first planet had very suitable gravity, even closer to the standard gravity of the training ground than Xandar. However, this planet had no water resources, no signs of life, and the air not only lacked oxygen but also contained a large amount of toxic substances.

Everyone just took a rough look around the planet and then left. In this situation, there wasn't even any value in landing.

The second planet seemed decent. The gravity was slightly lower than standard gravity, and the planet was considerably smaller than Xandar.

Other than that, everything else about this planet was a problem.

There were water resources, but they were in solid form, all ice.

The entire planet was like a giant ice chunk. Ethan and the others lived in this vast world of ice and snow for seven days, and the highest temperature did not reach above zero, only rising to minus eighteen degrees Celsius.

Most of the time it stayed between minus fifty and minus seventy degrees Celsius, occasionally dropping to minus eighty or minus ninety.

Based on the data measured by Yondu in space, simulations were conducted, leading to a not-so-optimistic conclusion. This planet would be completely obscured by another planet for a considerable period, unable to be illuminated by a star. This meant the planet would be in a state of polar night for a significant duration, and the temperature would likely drop below minus one hundred degrees Celsius at that time.

"Even without this polar night state, this temperature is not suitable for ordinary people to live in."

Although there was water, there was no other life on this planet. Furthermore, after testing, the components contained in the ice were not suitable for direct consumption.

This landing survey lasted less than five days. Before the fifth day was over, everyone had already moved towards the third target planet.

The situation on the last target planet was even worse. Everyone couldn't even get close.

After arriving in the area where this planet was located, both fighter jets were affected by magnetic interference, so they had to maintain a safe distance and use various equipment to detect the planet's conditions.

Finally, the four detectors sent out one after another were all destroyed on this planet, but they also sent back some data. Based on this data, everyone clearly realized that this planet was not suitable for any life to inhabit.

This was a gas giant planet. The gas composition was very complex, with many unknown components. The known components were all harmful to the human body, and not a single trace of the oxygen needed for human survival was detected.

At the same time, the environment of the entire planet was extremely harsh. With the detection equipment, it was found that the surface temperature of this planet was at least several thousand degrees Celsius. How could anyone live in such an environment?

So everyone directly chose to leave and return to Xandar. By this time, the things to be done next had basically been decided.

The training ground would be moved onto the ocean of Xandar, and then Ethan would leave enough information to encourage the adventurers to explore harder outside the training ground, slowly breaking free from the training ground world and possessing a real planet.

As for who to give the information in his hands to? There was basically no suspense. It certainly wouldn't be the Guild. Ethan would only give these things to people he knew and found agreeable.

Brent was undoubtedly a suitable choice, and he believed that with Brent's personality, he would definitely be willing to take on this responsibility.

"What you need to consider next is how to place such a large training ground onto the ocean of that planet." Star-Lord also took the opportunity to ask Ethan what he planned to do. "If I remember correctly, you said before that you don't have control over that training ground?"

"Yes, that's why I'm thinking about how to do it."

Now he had two options. The first was pure brute force, using powerful magic energy to confine the entire training ground and drag it into Xandar.

His current strength wasn't incapable of doing it, but doing so would be quite exhausting and would drain all his reserves. Although Ethan hadn't made new Arcane Springs, he would make some magic items in his free time during these past few months, specifically to store various types of magic energy for convenient use when needed.

By draining all these stored energies, Ethan could ensure the entire training ground was safely delivered into Xandar without any damage.

But if there was another option, he was naturally willing to save some effort, energy.

The second method was to find Tony. Perhaps this cheat-like guy could crack the training ground's control system, allowing him to directly pilot the entire training ground to land like a spaceship... He suddenly thought of a question. Does this training ground have thrusters?

"No... I don't think so..."

Betty was also confused. She didn't know if the training ground could navigate and land like a spaceship. In her impression, the training ground was a main structure built directly in space. After the main framework was completed, it was equivalent to a small artificial celestial body, and subsequent construction work was all done on it.

From beginning to end, the training ground was built in space, and its position was fixed directly during construction, so it basically wouldn't be moved.

Considering that when the Empire had problems back then, the military also chose to evacuate their own people and leave the training ground there, perhaps the training ground itself didn't have the capability to navigate.

"Alright, the second method can be set aside."

It seemed his newly saved reserves were going to be gone again.

But thinking about it, it didn't matter. After this busy trip, there shouldn't be anything that would significantly deplete his energy for a while, and he could slowly save it back up.

After a period of navigation, the Milano returned to the asteroid belt outside Xandar, where the training ground was located.

"Before doing this, shouldn't I solve the spaceship problem first?"

To be honest, the space in these two Ravager fighter jets was really small. With such a large group of people squeezed into this small space, it was far from comfortable. Many times, men like Ethan and Logan would just find a random spot to rest. Fortunately, their need for sleep was very low now, so there were no conflicts due to sleep issues.

Previously on Xandar, there were houses they built themselves that could be used for living. Although they were a bit rough and simple, living in them was quite atmospheric, and the space was large enough.

"I think you don't need to rush with the spaceship matter. You can deal with the training ground first."

Ethan felt that Logan's suggestion made a lot of sense. Even if he brought the spaceship back, he couldn't use it directly. He would still need to send it to Tony for some modifications.

Besides that, they also needed some relevant training. Although everyone had been consciously learning about space navigation during this time, it was impossible to study in detail in such a short period. The level of mastery varied among everyone, and this situation was not suitable for direct space travel.

In other words, in addition to the spaceship needing modification, everyone also needed to undergo systematic learning before they could begin their adventurous life in this vast universe.

This work could also be done separately. For example, Ethan could learn and practice with Nebula first, and at the same time install specialized learning equipment on the new spaceship for everyone to use.

At this point, he had to rely on Nebula to be the pilot of the new ship, which was originally why he brought Nebula along.

"Let's solve things one by one first."

After asking everyone's opinion, including Star-Lord, everyone said they would just stay here and watch Ethan perform.

Nobody wanted to run to Xandar first and wait for Ethan to set up the training ground, and then have Ethan pick everyone up to leave.

There were no fools here. Although the training ground was significantly smaller than Xandar, it was still a very large celestial body. For something this big to enter Xandar's atmosphere and land on its ocean, even if Ethan's control was extremely powerful and his magic was very miraculous, minimizing the impact on the planet's climate, there was no way to avoid the resulting tsunami.

Waiting on Xandar would be like wanting to personally experience what the end of the world felt like. It was better to just stay honestly on the spaceship.

So everyone watched with anticipation as Ethan, looking as if he had become ethereal, passed directly through the front of the Milano and walked outside the Milano.

Standing in the void, Ethan showed no discomfort. Although he was wearing a standard protective suit, everyone present knew that Ethan had not activated its protective functions. He was just standing directly in the cosmic void, and then flew rapidly towards the training ground ahead.

Ethan only stopped when he flew to a position about five hundred meters above the training ground.

Considering the size of the training ground, plus the light radiating from within it, and looking at the clouds that seemed almost within reach, if he hadn't looked up and seen the cosmic void, he would have even felt like he was still inside the training ground.

"This is not the time to think about that."

Collecting his thoughts, Ethan took out several containers from his storage space. These contained magic energy he had extracted from multiple planes, including Holy Light, Arcane, Elemental energy, and various other types. These energies had undergone his initial adjustments and could be easily mobilized by him.

Normally, these energies would be very effective for casting spells of the corresponding attributes. Using them so simply and crudely as raw energy was actually a bit wasteful.

But now he couldn't afford to think about that much. If he didn't use these external forces and only used his own magic power, it would be too damaging to his vitality. Relatively speaking, losing some external things was nothing.

As bottles of energy with different properties were released, they all merged and spread under Ethan's control, transforming into a giant energy net that spread downwards, slowly enveloping the entire training ground.
