Chapter 375: Warship Enhancement
Green Moon Manor Underground Warship Summoning Chamber
Song Chi had rented a medium-sized summoning chamber, a confined space over 1,500 meters in length, ample enough to summon the Azure Sky.
In the warship control room, looking at the few items in his hand, Song Chi thought for a moment and finally decided to put away the origin stone that was most likely sealed with the Sovereign Blood.
The Sovereign Blood, even the most ordinary blood of a Sovereign, contained unimaginable power. Before advancing to the fourth rank, Song Chi planned to seal it first and wait until both the warship and himself had advanced before unlocking the secrets of this origin stone.
Aside from this origin stone, he also had two Imperial Remnant Stones, six ordinary origin stones, and a high-grade Void Beast Hide.
After a few minutes, all eight origin stones were unlocked. The six ordinary origin stones provided him with 120 strands of fourth-rank Floating Continent Essence and two purple oddities, while the two Imperial Remnant Stones gave him 215 strands of fifth-rank Floating Continent Essence and 10 strands of sixth-rank Floating Continent Essence.
After a trip to the Vast Market, Song Chi placed the two purple oddities that couldn't be converted into warship components in the Oddity Exchange Shop. Then, he focused all his attention on the high-grade Void Beast Hide in his hand.
This beast hide was extraordinary; even under the eruption of a half-step sixth-rank Law Trace, it hadn't shown any signs of damage.
"Strange, aside from the faint flow of spatial law power on the surface, I can't detect any other special traits..."
Song Chi furrowed his brows, and even with his Double Pupil at its peak, he couldn't discern any abnormalities in the beast hide.
His eyes glimmered as he shifted his thoughts, and the shadow energy within him was summoned, eventually gathering in his right palm.
Unexpectedly, this attempt triggered a peculiar reaction in the beast hide.
The shadow energy that gathered in his palm rapidly flowed into the hide, and out of curiosity, he not only didn't stop but also increased the supply of energy.
After depleting most of the shadow energy within him, the mysterious high-grade beast hide finally underwent a significant transformation.
A pitch-black vortex suddenly appeared on the hide, emitting strong spatial fluctuations.
Upon seeing this, Song Chi sent out a thread of divine consciousness, which, upon entering the spatial vortex on the hide, revealed the hide's unique feature.
Although he didn't know what kind of creature this special hide came from or its rank, it was certain that the creature had unimaginable spatial abilities during its lifetime.
Beneath its leather hide was a vast space connected to it, a space that couldn't be compared to a secret realm. However, it was entirely attached to the hide, making it a large-scale portable storage bag.
Why call it a storage bag instead of a spatial capsule? It's simple; this space could be freely manipulated, capable of absorbing objects far larger than its entrance. As long as the space itself was large enough, it could even actively absorb asteroids with diameters of several hundred meters.
Compared to the cultivation sanctuary on the Azure Sky, this was much more convenient.
The cultivation sanctuary was even larger, capable of accommodating asteroids with diameters of tens of thousands of meters, but it had a limitation. Since it was an integral part of the Azure Sky's equipment, any object to be stored in the sanctuary must first be brought into the warship's cabin.
Therefore, while the cultivation sanctuary had no size restriction, the warship's cabin did, indirectly limiting its storage capacity.
The Void Beast Hide didn't have these issues; it could collect items outside the warship and then bring them inside.
After understanding the high-grade Void Beast Hide's function, Song Chi was satisfied and put it away. He then took out two newly acquired warship components.
Voidbreaker Cone and Taiyi Quantum Sword Beam Platform
The Voidbreaker Cone needed no introduction and was directly installed on the warship.
However, Song Chi wasn't in a hurry to enhance it; he had a limited number of titanium crystals and needed to prioritize the Taiyi Quantum Sword Beam Platform, the silver main cannon.
Recalling the warship, Song Chi left the underground summoning chamber and headed straight for the Dragon Ridge Divine Mountain.
Dragon Ridge Divine Mountain, Family Soulbinding Chamber.
Ever since the family publicly announced the existence of the Tri-Eye Soulbinding Ring, the Soulbinding Chamber had become a popular destination for clan members.
As a flash of white light passed over the token in Song Chi's hand, Song Lun, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly got up and made his way towards the warship summoning platform.
After summoning his 1000-meter-long captain's warship, twelve soulbinding beams shot out from the fourth-rank inherited warship in front of him.
As the twelve beams of Soulbinding Light poured into the warship, Song Lun began selecting the twelve components that needed Soulbinding.
Since twelve high-quality components had already been safely uninstalled ten days ago, this second round of selection didn't cause him much hesitation.
Soon, another twelve components were safely uninstalled. By now, there were only a few dozen components left on the warship beneath his feet, most of them blue and white, with the highest-value ones being a few purple components with average attributes.
Seeing this, Song Lun's gaze hardened with determination.
At this point, he was no longer worried about formally activating the warship's promotion. Even after eleven months of continuous alien hunting, the current promotion success rate of the warship beneath his feet had only just reached 48%.
【Warship Promotion Mission (Far Wheel)】
【Current Promotion Success Rate: 48.05% (Initial Success Rate 0.05% + Tier 4 Vampire Marquis Essence Blood 10% + Alien Blood Bath 38%)】
【Special Promotion Resources (2/3): Tier 4 Life Crystal x1, Fire Attribute Law Crystal x0, Ten Thousand Year Pure Yang Jade x1】
【Additional Promotion Resource: A drop of Tier 4 Vampire Marquis Essence Blood】
【Alien Blood Bath: Tier 3 Celestial Star Clan... 38%】
Scanning the warship promotion mission panel of the 【Far Wheel】, Song Lun's eyes revealed a deep regret. He hadn't gathered all the special promotion resources, and if he had, the promotion success rate could have been increased by another 10%.
But there was nothing he could do about it. Fire Attribute Law Crystals were rare, and with several family members attempting to promote their warships to Deer Hunt Ships over the past decade, four of them specifically focusing on the Fire Law path, they had already scoured the family for such crystals, making it nearly impossible to obtain one within the clan.
Although he had asked the family's trading fleet to inquire about these Law Crystals in the Duchy, there had been no leads.
However, Song Lun was quite satisfied with the 48.05% promotion success rate, especially after safely uninstalling 24 crucial components.
It was common knowledge that the average success rate for a regular cruiser to promote to a Deer Hunt Ship was less than 10%.
With the support of his family, not only did he have designated alien hunting grounds, but the clan also provided a steady supply of discounted Tier 4 Essence Blood. Now, with the addition of the 【Tri-Eye Soulbinding Ring】 component, even if the promotion failed, he would have a second chance.
Within the family's Dragon Spine Secret Realm, there was a Blood Soul Tree that produced Blood Soul Fruits, which could reduce the Flame Seed's buffering time by 50%. With this, even if the promotion failed, he would only need to wait for about two decades before binding a new Scout-Class Star Sea Fly Dart.
Although he would have to start over, Song Lun's current status within the clan meant he could skip the Shadow Dart and Shadow Energy Skiff stages. The promotion from a Frigate to a Cruiser might take about ten years.
In other words, even if the promotion failed, Song Lun could cultivate a second Cruiser within the next four decades, and then reinstall the twenty-four undamaged components, restoring about 89% of the warship's original combat power.
With this new cruiser, Song Lun, only four hundred years old, could attempt to promote to a Deer Hunt Ship again before turning five hundred. If successful, he would have a century to work on breaking through the Guiding Art to Tier 4.
This was the reason for his confidence.
It could be said that the 【Tri-Eye Soulbinding Ring】 component handed over by Song Chi completed the family's second warship cultivation plan, and it was this perfect cycle that led to a significant increase in the number of third-tier clan members attempting to promote their warships to Deer Hunt Ships over the past decade.
While most of them failed, there were also successful cases, including Song Fu and a third-tier Flame Torch Warship Captain from the ancestral lineage.
Those who failed were now cultivating their second warships, and some had already promoted their second Flame Torch Warships to Cruisers, successfully reinstalling the undamaged components from the clan's heritage warship onto their new vessels. They were currently exploring the alien star domains, gathering resources for their second attempt at promoting to a Deer Hunt Ship.
Ten days after Song Lun left, Song Chi, who had priority access, took his place. Since he only needed to uninstall one component, another third-tier clan member chose to Soulbind with him, even though this would reduce the number of undamaged components they could uninstall. However, the impact wasn't significant.
...
In the sky above Dragon Spine Continent.
The Cob Alt Number hovered in the depths of the clouds, and in the control room, Song Chi carefully installed the 【Taiyi Quantum Sword Beam Platform】.
The component was installed into the main cannon slot vacated by the Pure Yang Sword Light Cannon.
He immediately proceeded to enhance this silver main cannon.
Soon, after consuming a significant amount of resources, the component successfully reached level 40.
It wasn't that Song Chi didn't want to continue enhancing it, but his stock of titanium crystals had run dry.
The level 50 Pure Yang Sword Light Cannon was given directly to his father, but since his father's ship, the "Qing Kong" (Blue Sky), barely met the requirements of a limit-grade frigate and didn't possess an orange Flame Seed, the main cannon's enhancement level dropped to level 49 after installing the level 50 Pure Yang Sword Light Cannon. The resources spent on promoting it to the fifth tier were wasted, and the resources spent on the previous enhancements couldn't be recovered.
This embarrassing situation wasn't resolved until several months later when Song Chi received the new year's rank subsidy.
Without hesitation, Song Chi immediately enhanced this silver legendary main cannon to level 59 after obtaining the rank subsidy.
Taiyi Quantum Sword Beam Platform - Level 59
Quality: Silver
Attribute: Power Enhancement 238%
Attribute 2: Each ordinary sword beam fired from the main cannon has a 40% chance to trigger 250% critical hit damage.
Attribute 3: True Immortal Quantum Sword Beam
Attribute 4: Taiyi Quantum Sword Array
Consumption: 5,000/shot (Shadow Energy Points)
Attack: 581 million
Charge: 3s; Buffer: 5s
Upgrade Requirements: 50 strands of Floating Continent Essence (Fifth Tier), 1 strand of Floating Continent Essence (Sixth Tier), 500,000 Shadow Energy Points, 250 Titanium Crystals, 120 Law Stones
Note: Unable to enhance further as the warship has reached its maximum enhancement level.
{True Immortal Quantum Sword Beam: Consumes 300,000 Shadow Energy Points. After a 25-second charge, it fires a True Immortal Quantum Sword Beam with 1700% power towards a designated direction. Cooldown: 18 hours.}
{Taiyi Quantum Sword Array: Consumes 600,000 Shadow Energy Points. After a 25-second charge, it gathers thirty-six giant quantum sword beams to form the Taiyi Sword Array, which covers and strikes the designated area. Cooldown: 90 hours.}
As seen, after reaching level 59, the attributes of this silver main cannon have reached an awe-inspiring level, surpassing the Soul Annihilation Pupil Light Cannon at the same level by more than one tier, not to mention the previous Pure Yang Sword Light Cannon.
After thoroughly examining the attributes, Song Chi closed the attribute panel with satisfaction.
If the firepower of the previous Qing Qiong (Cobalt) was somewhat lacking, with the enhancement of the Taiyi Quantum Sword Beam Platform to level 59, this weakness has been completely compensated for, and it's not just a simple boost to the ship's firepower to a normal level. Instead, it has elevated the ship from being weak to a powerful level.
It's easy to imagine that for a long time, the Qing Qiong's firepower will be its advantage, and using the two active attack attributes to deal devastating damage to enemy units is also reasonable.
After a brief moment of excitement, Song Chi sighed again.
Enhancing this component to level 59 in one go was satisfying, but the resources consumed were unimaginable.
Just in terms of titanium crystals, the 3,000 newly acquired crystals, along with the remaining stock, were all used up again.
Enhancing from level 50 to level 59 alone required 1,980 titanium crystals.
He couldn't help but exclaim that while the attributes of silver legendary components were astonishing, each one was a gold-devouring beast, especially when enhanced to higher levels.
And this was just the fifth tier of enhancement; the sixth and seventh tiers would be even more daunting.
He had access to the Multiverse Bazaar, and one can only imagine the situation for ordinary Flame Ship Captains.
Song Chi took a deep breath.
His gaze shifted to the Voidbreaker Cone, an orange component that hadn't been enhanced yet. It seemed that in the short term, it would be impossible to enhance it to a very high level.
After some thought, Song Chi could only enhance it to level 20 for now.
Currently, he had no titanium crystals left, and to enhance the Taiyi Quantum Sword Beam Platform to level 59, he had specifically borrowed several hundred from the elders in the Pulse.
After enhancing the two components, Song Chi was about to take out the last remaining low-tier Space Law Crystal in his hand to continue his comprehension of the Space Law.
Just then, the Shining Light Order 32, which he always carried with him, vibrated.
He quickly took out the token and scanned it, but his eyebrows furrowed in surprise.
"No. 19 'Blazing Sun': @32 'Thunder Rumble', calling Thunder Rumble, calling Thunder Rumble!!!"
PS: A question for you all, do you want the protagonist to comprehend both the Time and Space Laws? How about Light and Space instead?
