Chapter 388: The Royal Family of the Celestial Pillar - The Win Family
Chapter 388: The Royal Family of the Celestial Pillar - The Win Family
In the Zhen Dan Palace, within the Beast Arena.
Boom!
The energy impact from the collision of laws repeatedly manifested on the arena, and after each explosion, it continued to spread outwards, only to be blocked by the isolation array surrounding the arena, with a diameter exceeding ten thousand meters.
As a result, two semi-fourth-rank Advanced Star Sea Aliens, each a thousand meters tall, fought to the death on the arena. The Fire and Metal Origin Laws clashed continuously, and blood soaked the entire white jade platform. Below the arena, tens of thousands of lower-ranked Flame Keeper Captains sat in rings, their faces flushed, cheering wildly for the battle above.
On the top level of the Beast Arena, several elegantly dressed young men and women held tall glasses, watching the scene below with great interest.
"Lin Shao, who do you think will win?" asked one of them.
The young man with a naturally upturned mouth, standing by the high-grade alloy railing, spoke.
Hearing the words of the third young master of the Zhen Dan Commerce Guild, the man behind him, who also came from a distinguished background, casually glanced down. He had already raised his Guidance Technique to the fourth rank, and his aura was evident.
"I'd say the Crimson Fire Tiger. After all, it has the most crucial advantage of timing!"
But the third young master of the Zhen Dan Commerce Guild shook his head slightly.
"On the contrary, in my opinion, the Shattered Gold Beast has a higher chance of winning!"
Just as the two were about to continue their discussion, the third young master's face suddenly lit up with joy. Without even explaining to those around him, his body surged with Ethereal Energy, and he soared into the air, shooting out of the Beast Arena.
Seeing this, the young man known as Lin Shao reacted first and quickly followed.
Finally, the two well-endowed women followed suit.
As soon as they left the Beast Arena, Ke Lin saw the Deer Hunt Ship silently hovering above the Zhen Dan Palace, accompanied by a cruiser by its side.
His pupils narrowed slightly, and he guessed the identities of the two warships in his mind.
Ke Lin was well aware that the Zhen Dan Commerce Guild had strict regulations, prohibiting any warship from entering or exiting the Zhen Dan Palace in a flying manner.
Once, a fifth-rank battleship had openly defied these rules, relying on its own strength, but it ended up having its ship impounded for a hundred years.
It was said that only warships permitted by the Guild could enter and exit the Zhen Dan Palace freely.
Ke Lin was quite surprised by this, as even he, being the current direct lineage successor of the Ke family, had not obtained this privilege.
And the Ke family was a top-tier force in the kingdom, possessing an Ultimate Dreadnought.
Before Ke Lin could think further, the two warships above had already been recalled. Two figures stood in the sky, enveloped in Ethereal Energy.
When Ke Lin recognized the man beside Song Chi, his pupils constricted, and his eyes soon showed understanding.
If it was this person, then both the freedom to enter and exit the Zhen Dan Palace and the fact that the third young master of the Guild came out to greet him personally made sense.
At this moment, the voluptuous woman behind him quietly transmitted a message:
"Young Master, if Zhou Li personally came out to greet you, who are these two?"
Glancing indifferently at the woman behind him, Ke Lin, who was quite fond of her, thought for a moment and quickly explained:
"This is the only person from our kingdom to be selected as an official member of the Northern Dipper Star Chamber in nearly three thousand years."
The woman wasn't ignorant of everything, and after hearing Ke Lin's explanation, her crystal-like eyes trembled:
"The fifth prince of the Frandis Royal Family? The one who joined the Radiant Star Tower three hundred years ago, the generation's pride of the royal family?"
Completely ignoring the three people behind him, Zhou Li saw the 'Blazing Sun' beside Song Chi, and a smile immediately appeared on his face. He quickly approached, controlling the Ethereal Energy within his body.
Unlike the fake smile from before, Zhou Li's current smile was genuine, coming from the heart.
"Fifth Brother!"
After greeting each other, the 'Blazing Sun', referred to as Fifth Brother by Zhou Li, patted Song Chi's shoulder and said to Zhou Li:
"Little Li, this is the other new member I told you about, the one who needs that Neutron Star Remnant. You can call him Thunder Awakens!"
After the introduction, Song Chi smiled and spoke first:
"Brother Li, I've heard Brother Blazing Sun mention a close friend of his, just call me Little Awakens!"
This person was a genuine fourth-rank Flame Keeper Captain, and although he wasn't deliberately releasing his aura, Song Chi could see it clearly with his Double Pupil.
Moreover, it was out of respect for 'Blazing Sun' that he had left the Neutron Star Remnant, and it was only right to thank him for it.
Hearing his words, Zhou Li's smile grew even brighter, and without a second thought, he took out a small storage box and tossed it to Song Chi.
As Song Chi scanned the storage box, he saw that it contained the Neutron Star Remnant. Suppressing his joy, he shook his head and said:
"Brother Li, this won't do, no matter what..."
Before he could finish, Zhou Li waved his hand.
"It's not that great of a thing anyway. It's just that my little brother happens to need it. If it were somewhere else, it might not even sell for the value of an orange-grade component. Since he's Fifth Brother's friend, then from now on, he's also my Zhou Li's little brother! Consider it a greeting gift from an older brother to a younger one!"
Zhou Li wasn't some spoiled rich kid; he understood the potential of a Radiant Star Tower member very well, knowing that Song Chi was only at the third rank now, but as long as nothing unexpected happened, he would eventually reach the fifth and sixth ranks.
It was essential to establish a good relationship with such a genius.
Seeing that Song Chi still wanted to say something, the 'Blazing Sun' spoke up.
"Alright, take it and keep it safe..."
Hearing this, Song Chi didn't continue.
The three of them slowly descended, and as they passed by Ke Lin and the other two, Zhou Li thought for a moment and introduced Ke Lin to the two of them.
'Blazing Sun' didn't pay much attention, as someone of his background, a direct lineage successor of a top-tier force in the kingdom wasn't that impressive.
But Song Chi still treated him with the respect he deserved. After all, he was a guest, and his family had an Ultimate Dreadnaught as their stronghold, so they couldn't be considered weak.
Soon, Zhou Li went all out to entertain Song Chi and the others, and even his father, the third uncle of Zhen Dan Commerce Guild and a Fifth Rank Battleship Captain, Zhou Xiao, made an appearance.
There was no other way; the person accompanying Song Chi, "Zhuoyang," was truly extraordinary.
During their casual chat, Song Chi learned the true identity of this Star Tower 19 "Zhuoyang." His name was Gary Frandee, the fifth son of the current King of Frandia and the Fifth Prince of the Frandia Kingdom.
When he first learned of this, he was naturally quite surprised. Even though "Zhuoyang" had already told him that he was from Frandia, Song Chi hadn't thought of the royal family at all.
What kind of power was the Frandis Royal Family?
It was a legacy that had been passed down for over 30,000 years, and they had more than one Star Destroyer Captain. Compared to the Radiant Han Kingdom's Liu Clan, the Frandee Family's heritage was even more astonishing.
It was rumored that they had once received the inheritance of a Dominator-grade Phoenix Immortal. The secret art of the Phoenix Immortal was the foundation of their family.
As he was thinking about this, Zhou Li saw his father leave, and he immediately returned to his previous carefree attitude. He then turned to Song Chi's side and said to his fifth brother:
"Fifth Brother, there's a banquet at the Flame Dragon Castle tonight. Do you want to go and have some fun?"
Hearing this, 'Zhuoyang,' whose real name was Gary Frandee, seemed to remember something.
"The Flame Dragon Banquet at the Flame Dragon Castle?"
"Yes!"
After receiving Zhou Li's confirmation, Gary Frandee turned to look at Song Chi and nodded, saying:
"Sure, if I remember correctly, there should be a dish called 'Blood Dragon Ointment' at the banquet, right?"
Hearing this, Zhou Li immediately became interested.
"Yes, yes, yes! I remember that I followed you, Fifth Brother, and got half of the Blood Dragon Ointment. The next day, I almost couldn't get out of bed."
Gary Frandee glared at him.
"Don't act cute after getting the benefit. Without that boost to your constitution, could you have improved your Mind Power to Seventeen Focuses of Mind at the Third Rank?"
As soon as the word 'constitution' was mentioned, Song Chi immediately understood.
He had previously mentioned high-level constitution-enhancing resources in the Star Order group chat. It seemed that Gary wanted to take him to try the Blood Dragon Ointment.
A warm feeling rose in Song Chi's heart, but he didn't say anything and just made a mental note.
As for Ke Lin, who was sitting next to them, his attention was completely focused on the words 'Seventeen Focuses of Mind.' He couldn't help but smile wryly.
Back when he was at the Third Rank, even after using many high-level soul resources provided by his family, he had only managed to improve his Mind Power to Fifteen Focuses of Mind. Even so, he had been excited about it for quite some time.
Now it seemed that compared to the truly top-tier forces of the kingdom, there was still a considerable gap.
With Zhou Li's heartfelt hospitality, Song Chi and the others stayed the night at the Zhen Dan Palace.
The next day, at night.
Several of the latest model hovercars sped out of the Zhen Dan Palace's main entrance. In the middle car, excluding the driver, Song Chi, Gary, Zhou Li, and Ke Lin were all present.
Of course, Ke Lin sat in the co-pilot seat while Song Chi and the other two were in the back. Zhou Li and Gary seemed to have endless topics to discuss.
Suddenly, Song Chi's heart skipped a beat as Zhou Li and Gary's conversation turned to the Radiant Han Kingdom's expansion war.
"Fifth Brother, what do you think about the Radiant Han Kingdom's expansion war?"
Gary Frandee glanced at Zhou Li and didn't beat around the bush. He said directly:
"You want to make some extra money from this expansion war?"
After Zhou Li nodded, Song Chi heard Gary Frandee casually say:
"I've only heard that this war was instigated by the Immortal Qin Dynasty, and they seem to want to support the rise of a new kingdom. But it's also possible that the Radiant Han Kingdom is vying for it themselves."
Zhou Li nodded.
"The fourth Star Han Expedition's defeat did indeed weaken the Immortal Qin Dynasty's power significantly. Now, after such a long period of recovery, it's normal for the higher-ups of the dynasty to want to expand further and restore their strength. But if that's the case, does that mean the 'Win Family' of the Heavenly Disc Galaxy will take the initiative to seize the other half of the galaxy's high-level resources?"
After saying this, Zhou Li's expression became tense. This was the critical question he wanted to ask. If it were true, he must not invest in those strategic and super-strategic resource businesses, or he would likely end up working for others without any gain.
Gary Frandee fell silent for a moment.
"According to the information I received, that's indeed a possibility, but it only involves those truly high-level resources. After all, they are the winners of the Heavenly Disc Galaxy, and they won't make a scene. Moreover, it's only limited to those below the Dominator Rank!"
Upon hearing these words, everyone in the hovercar had their own thoughts.
The phrase 'below the Dominator Rank' was easy to understand; it referred to those without the protection of a Dominator-level force. However, this wasn't good news for Zhou Li.
The Zhen Dan Commerce Guild was not weak, and his father, the third uncle of the guild, had the backing of an Ultimate Dreadnaught Captain. But even so, an Ultimate Dreadnaught was still a Dreadnaught, and there was an unbridgeable gap between it and the Star Destroyers and the Dominator-level lifeforms of the Shattered Star Sea.
As for Song Chi, his thoughts were in disarray at this moment.
If it were as Gary Frandee said, this was certainly not good news.
The only consolation was that the big shots of the Immortal Qin Dynasty wouldn't interfere with ordinary high-level resources and wouldn't occupy the star domains and floating continents of the Heavenly Disc Galaxy. Overall, the impact wouldn't be too significant.
Of course, the best solution would be to seek the protection of a Dominator-level force, which would bring the most benefits.
As he was thinking about this, a majestic, fiery castle appeared at the end of their sight.
