Chapter 254: Skirmish Warship [Furious Battle Lion]
Chapter 254: Skirmish Warship [Furious Battle Lion]
After leaving the Merit Tower, Song Chi immediately rushed back to Green Moon Lake, his words and actions revealing his uncontainable urgency.
Although the trip to the Demon Buddha Continent went much smoother than expected, with him returning in just ten days, this wouldn't change the fact that the one-year promotion period for the Roaring Lion Ship was about to expire.
"Carefully calculated, the Roaring Lion Ship's promotion task has been active for almost eleven months, leaving only the final month..."
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
The space shifted, and the Cobalt Number returned to the sky above Green Moon Lake. Before it even landed, several cruisers swooped in from below.
"Not the Roaring Lion Ship or the Mountain Peak Ship, why would so many unfamiliar cruisers suddenly appear in the pulse lineage?"
Song Chi was puzzled at first, but then his eyes lit up as if he had thought of something.
"Could it be from Grandfather..."
The Cobalt Number descended rapidly, and as it got closer to Green Moon Island, Song Chi soon saw more and more Flame Torch Warships. There were over thirty Tier 3 cruisers alone, and the number of Tier 2 and lower warships was even more astonishing.
Moreover, he saw a total of six 3,000-meter Skirmish Warships.
This made Song Chi increasingly confident in his thoughts.
Because all these warships were basically docked around Green Moon Lake, and there was only one warship on Green Moon Island.
And it was also a 3,000-meter Skirmish Warship.
Looking at this familiar warship docked in the exclusive warship docking area of Green Moon Island, Song Chi's eyes shone brightly.
If he wasn't mistaken, this extremely familiar Skirmish Warship was indeed Grandfather Song Ming Song's Roaring Lion Ship. Even though the hull had expanded many times, he could still recognize it.
"The Roaring Lion Ship really did succeed in its promotion..."
Muttering this, Song Chi's thoughts shifted again.
"No, it shouldn't be called the Roaring Lion Ship anymore, but rather [Furious Battle Lion]!"
After a cruiser is promoted to a Skirmish Warship, the ship name changes from three characters to five. This is both to distinguish the difference between Tier 4 and below, and to highlight the prestige of the Skirmish Warship. After all, a unit that can single-handedly elevate a civilization from low to mid-level should no longer be lumped together with lower-tier combat units.
As for the origin of [Furious Battle Lion].
Grandfather had mentioned multiple times before that if the Roaring Lion Ship successfully promoted, it would be named [Furious Battle Lion]. This was known by all core members of the Tenth Direct Line.
At the Green Moon Estate, in the Guest Reception Courtyard.
When Song Chi arrived, this not-so-large courtyard was already full of people. The lowest life aura among them was Tier 2, all of them Flame Torch Captains who had practiced the Guiding Technique to level 20 or higher.
There were also over a dozen Tier 3 Flame Torch Captains, and six Tier 4 existences. These six were undoubtedly clan elders.
The first three direct lines, the two main lines, and the most mysterious and powerful ancestral line, each sent one representative.
Grandfather Song Ming Song sat at the main seat, his face beaming with a radiant smile. While he seemed fine on the surface, a closer look would reveal that the faint aura around him was still far weaker compared to the other six.
The Roaring Lion Ship's successful promotion to a Skirmish Warship did not mean that Song Ming Song, as its captain, had also promoted. His Guiding Technique was still stuck at level 38. To reach level 40 using the level 40 Ether Energy Training Platform on the [Furious Battle Lion], it would still take some time.
This also meant that Song Ming Song was not yet capable of fully utilizing the combat power of the [Furious Battle Lion], as he did not yet possess a Divine Consciousness State.
While the warship itself had gained some level of activity, his mental power was not yet sufficient to transform the warship into a Mythical Mecha form at will.
Of course, Song Ming Song was only in his early 200s, and he had plenty of time to bring his Guiding Technique to level 40 in the future, destined to become a true Tier 4 Flame Torch Captain. This was beyond doubt.
This was one of the reasons why the Song Clan treated this matter with such solemnity. Otherwise, a pseudo-Tier 4 Flame Torch Captain with no further advancement potential would not have the honor of having a Tier 4 clan elder from each of the six main lines come to congratulate him.
However, Song Chi had further thoughts on this.
"The Song Clan's plans on the Demon Buddha Continent must have made some progress, and it must have happened in these past few days..."
Before this, the clan's high-tier combat forces were very tight. Even when the Sequence competition officially began, only Clan Head Song Xuan Cang's true body had returned once and quickly left again.
Now, all six of them were here in their true bodies. Other than the progress on the Demon Buddha Continent, Song Chi couldn't think of any other reason.
At the main seat, seeing Song Chi enter, Song Ming Song's smile grew even brighter. However, this time he clearly suppressed his usually rough voice and said calmly:
"Since you're back, why don't you come over and greet the clan elders?"
As Song Chi quickly approached, Song Ming Song introduced him in a timely manner.
"This is Clan Elder Daijiang of the Ancestral Line."
The first person introduced was Song Daijiang, who sat in the main guest seat and was from the Ancestral Line. Once Song Ming Song finished speaking, Song Chi immediately bowed.
"Meeting Clan Elder Daijiang!"
"This is Clan Elder Changping of the Heavenly Line…"
After all the formal greetings, the several clan elders smiled and began to speak, revealing some secrets about the Demon Buddha Continent, which further confirmed Song Chi’s previous speculations.
"One of the final three candidates for the third phase of the sequence competition, Ming Song. Your Tenth Direct Line has truly produced an outstanding genius."
"Little one, the third phase is the Bodhi Inheritance Tower. Remember to give it your all; you might just gain something extraordinary…"
…
Song Chi did not take the praise of the six clan elders too seriously. What he was truly interested in was the term "Bodhi Inheritance Tower" mentioned by Clan Elder Song Daijiang.
According to what he said, the final third phase of the sequence competition would no longer involve fighting. The final goal was the Bodhi Inheritance Tower.
This Bodhi Inheritance Tower was similar to the "Supreme Immortal Puppet Tower" in the family’s Immortal Ash Secret Realm. It stood in an unknown star domain, unlocatable and undetectable. No one knew its exact location, and one could only reach the unknown place through the path it actively projected.
The mechanism of the Bodhi Inheritance Tower was also similar to the Supreme Immortal Puppet Tower. As long as one could reach a certain level in the tower’s challenges, they would receive inheritance rewards. The higher the level one reached, the more valuable the rewards.
Although the two towers had extremely similar mechanisms, they should not be confused.
While the family’s "Supreme Immortal Puppet Tower" was not inferior, it could only produce orange-quality puppet components at its highest. However, according to the information collected by the family over the past few hundred years, the "Bodhi Inheritance Tower" had produced red, silver, and even higher-quality artifacts multiple times, with astonishing quality.
When he first heard this news, one could imagine how excited Song Chi was. He had enough confidence in the Cobalt Number.
Time passed quickly, and a day later, all the congratulating clan members had left. However, this did not mean that the area around the Blue Moon Lake would become peaceful. The celebrations for the entire Tenth Direct Line would continue for over a month.
The appearance of the "Furious Battle Lion" was not just a simple representation of a Skirmish Warship. For all the clan members of the Tenth Direct Line, it meant so much more…
- The only direct line under the six major lines to possess a Skirmish Warship.
- Increased influence in the Clan Elders' Council.
- A significant increase in the number of alien star domains under jurisdiction.
Any one of these meant unimaginable value for a direct line that had only been rebuilt for a few years.
Although Song Chi was aware of the matters within the direct line, he did not participate in them. He had more important things to do at the moment.
He needed to enhance the reinforcement levels of the various components of the Cobalt Number as much as possible.
Since he had learned about the details of the "Bodhi Inheritance Tower" in advance, he naturally had to prepare as much as possible. Only then could he have more possibilities for the subsequent challenge of the "Bodhi Inheritance Tower."
Even if it wasn’t silver or higher, just obtaining a red epic-quality artifact would be enough to satisfy him.
Despite the Cobalt Number having many silver and red components, it did not mean that a red epic-quality artifact was easy to obtain.
For example, the current engine, space radar, main cannon, and secondary cannons of the Cobalt Number were only orange or lower.
"Let's do this, Clan Brother Song Chi. This peak Fourth-Rank ancient corpse will count as 120 gold achievement points. After deducting the family’s portion, 100 gold achievement points, how does that sound?"
In the Merit Tower, after multiple negotiations, Song Chi finally exchanged the last ancient corpse, which was over ten thousand meters long, for 100 gold achievement points with the family’s Merit Tower.
Normally, Song Chi would not have done this, as it directly reduced the value by one-sixth.
The "Roaring Lion" had already successfully ascended to the Fourth Rank. With some time, he could extract the source blood from the ancient corpse himself, without needing to go through the family.
However, the issue was that he lacked the time. To continue enhancing the various components of the Cobalt Number, he needed more Fourth-Rank Floating Continent Essence, law stones, titanium crystals, and other resources, all of which required gold achievement points.
With the 100 gold achievement points, Song Chi could continue with his preparations.
A few days later, in the Market Mystic Realm, the free stall area.
Inside the quietly docked Cobalt Number, Song Chi looked at the various components before him with satisfaction.
Over the past week, the clan members of his lineage had successively exchanged over 50 law stones, 2,000 Titanium Crystals, and other resources for him. Although this also depleted his three-digit gold achievement points, the improvement of the Cobalt Number was very real.
【Immortal Realm Five Elements Celestial Energy Shield】lv40→lv42
【Central Star Nuclear Armor】lv40→lv43
【Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon】lv40→lv49
【Shadow Demon Cannon】lv40→lv44
【Cold Light Heavenly Frost Cannon】lv30→lv40
...
The enhancement of these five components significantly boosted the Cobalt Number's combat power, both in defense and offense.
However, this also exhausted Song Chi's high-rank resources.
Of course, even if there were still some left, he would not easily perform further enhancements. The 【Light Energy Aggregation Engine】 had already reached the limit of its power supply balance after being enhanced to its current maximum.
If not for this, he would likely not have enhanced the 【Shadow Demon Cannon】, but continued to enhance the two defensive components instead.
Unfortunately, these two components are continuous energy-consuming components. Further enhancement would break the power supply balance.
Not only that, but even with the 【Void Escape Pearl】, 【Phantom Propulsor】, and 【Void Gate】—all at the 3rd Tier—he did not dare to continue enhancing them.
At this point, the enhancement of the Cobalt Number had come to a temporary halt. Without further enhancement or replacement of the ship's engine components, there would be no significant improvements in the future.
However, this does not mean that Song Chi's preparations were over. He still had much more to do.
In the void space outside the Market Mystic Realm, a crystal emitting a dazzling light was quietly suspended. The radiance it emitted was particularly noticeable in this eternal silence, especially to the Void Demons, who are extremely sensitive to light.
As a result, within a few hours, wave after wave of Void Demons came rushing towards the light. The Cobalt Number, hidden in the background, would immediately kill all the Void Demons as long as no 4th Tier or higher Void Demons were detected.
Wave after wave, within just twenty days, Song Chi accumulated over two hundred Void Crystals, nearly ten thousand 2nd Tier and below Void Crystals, and even two 4th Tier Void Crystals.
These Void Crystals were contributed by the Void Demons killed by the Void Demon that Song Chi had enslaved. In the void dark side space, there is no concept of core rules enhancing, and with the assistance of the Cobalt Number, killing two 4th Tier Void Demons was not difficult.
Killing two Void Demons was not difficult, but it did not mean the process was smooth.
When killing the second 4th Tier Void Demon, it again alerted a 5th Tier existence behind it, posing a significant threat to the Cobalt Number. If Song Chi had not been vigilant and immediately teleported back to the Market, who knows what might have happened.
This marked the end of the Cobalt Number's hunting.
In the Multiverse Market, looking at the over five-digit Void Crystals in his hand, the tight expression on his face finally showed a long-awaited surprise.
These Void Crystals would be the capital for his subsequent transactions with the numerous high-ranking aliens in the 【Bodhi Inheritance Tower】.
Within each ten thousand years, the number of paths actively derived by the 【Bodhi Inheritance Tower】 is limited, and quite scarce.
However, the age of this extremely mysterious ancient tower is almost endless. Over this long period, the accumulated number is certainly not small.
The more paths there are, the more Star Sea aliens will gather. Over time, a unique trading market has formed around the 【Bodhi Inheritance Tower】. According to the clan elders, anything can appear in this trading market. Preparing more universal trading currencies might bring unexpected gains.
What are universal trading currencies?
Void Crystals, 3rd and 4th Tier Floating Continent Essence, high-rank creature blood, star sea rarities, and so on. These are all universal trading currencies.
And what Song Chi prepared for himself were these Void Crystals.
"I hope to get Ice Source Stones and 3rd Tier Blood Cores. If I could get an Orange Supreme Upgrade Fire Source, that would be even better."
PS: I'm not feeling well and had to go to the hospital today, but it's not over yet. I'll try not to miss any updates!
