It looked as if the attack had missed, but the Swordfish had already rammed into it.
"Pfft —" A blue light flared in space. Then, the core of the light turned black.
A moment later, the light and the Swordfish vanished, leaving behind only a vital crystal floating in the air.
How did he do it?
Ling Ya watched in bewilderment.
Was this warship really that strong?
Moreover, his prediction was so accurate!
But a patrol boat, no matter how powerful it was, was able to kill a swordfish with a single shot? That was inconceivable.
The Northern Alliance had been in combat mode for some time now, and had done a lot of research on the aliens.
Although the Seventh Fleet had been wiped out, they had managed to send back some valuable information.
The Swordfish's defenses were incredible.
She could even memorize the data.
Even a capital ship might not be able to kill it with a single shot, let alone a patrol ship.
Removing her helmet, Lan Jue told Lin Guo-guo. "Don't get distracted."
Lin Guo-guo answered honestly. "I know, boss. I was wrong." She sat back down and put her helmet back on.
Lan Jue turned to Ling Ya. "You're cooperating with us, not causing trouble.
Colonel Ling Ya, please do your job, and don't interfere with our investigation. "
Ling Ya was irritated by the dissatisfaction on his face.
What a jerk!
However, she couldn't say anything to refute. It was true that she attracted Lin Guoguo's attention, which led to the accident just now.
"Oh." She returned to her seat and sat down.
"Little Ya, be quiet.
Don't test them.
We'll run into more aliens later, and they'll reveal more than we need to. "Wu Qiu's voice whispered into Ling Ya's ear.
Ling Ya was a little unconvinced. "What's with that guy's arrogance?
He just has some secrets.
And he won't tell us.
Uncle Wu, why were their weapons so strong?
That's a Swordfish!
They killed it in one hit.
Look at them, they took the vital crystals.
It's a lot of money. "
Wu Qiu replied telepathically, "That shouldn't be a ship's weapon.
Instead, it was an attack that combined Esper abilities.
I can't see through Captain Lan Jue's strength either.
But it was indeed quite powerful.
I wonder how many more surprises he will bring us in the future. "
Ling Ya rolled her eyes and said, "Uncle Wu, do you think we can lure him to our Northern Alliance?
That girl who can hide from the aliens is dead set on him. I'm afraid we'll have to poach him to get her to come with us! "
Wu Qiu laughed and said, "It's not like you haven't seen his information.
He was the vice-chairman of the Skyfire Avenue Committee.
You should know that Skyfire Avenue has many Paragons now. His position is even higher than some of them.
What did this mean?
Skyfire Avenue would do whatever it took to keep him here.
This Captain Blue might very well be the future of Skyfire Avenue.
How are we going to poach him? "
Ling Ya's mouth twitched. "He looks like a gentle breeze, but he's arrogant.
He's definitely a pervert. Look at all the pretty girls around him, and they're all dead set on him. I really don't know what's so good about him. "
"Achoo!" Lan Jue sneezed from his vantage point.
Ling Ya's face froze. She could feel that?
Wu Qiu smiled. "Alright, let's keep our mouths shut.
He does have the right to be arrogant. How many people in the entire human race can reach this level of cultivation and ability at his age? "
Zeus -1 continued onward. As expected, the number of aliens they encountered increased. But it was still fewer than the last time they were here.
As they drew closer to the area that once belonged to the Shattered Starfields, Lan Jue had Su Xiaosu fly in circles. They approached the alien planets from the side.
If the planets knew that humanity was about to launch an attack, then they would know the location of the human fleet. The direct line between the planets and the human fleet would be the focus of their defense.
Going from the side, or even behind them, would greatly reduce their chances of being discovered.
Ling Ya didn't cause any more trouble. She was much calmer than before. She sent back the video she captured along the way to Tyrannosaurus.
The more she watched, the more certain she became of Lin Guo-guo's usefulness.
Whenever an alien approached, Lin Guo-guo would put on her helmet.
She must be a psychic Adept!
The more she observed, the more she discovered.
"Boss, let's go to the designated area." Su Xiaosu turned her head to Lan Jue.
"Alright!" Lan Jue headed for the resting area.
The designated area was the area that once belonged to the Shattered Starfields. Once they passed through a belt of asteroids, they would reach the alien planets.
Once they were here, they had to be careful.
Of course they had to invite the Paragons.
Wu Qiu sighed inwardly. This girl was a genius!
Not only did she control the ship like it was her own arm, but she also seemed to know the Shattered Starfields very well. Many of the scouting parties set out at the same time. It would take more than a day for the other teams to reach the area.
And that was with a guide who was familiar with the Shattered Starfields.
Skyfire Avenue was a place of great talent!
If he'd known this was the Moonfiend Empress, he wouldn't have known how shocked he'd be.
Before Lan Jue and the others left Skyfire Avenue, the Pontiff's Citadel Geneticists had come to a decision. Two-thirds of them decided to stay on Skyfire Avenue and join Star Division.
They had already begun training with Star Division.
Star Division's forces were quickly replenished. They were now fifty percent stronger than before.
Now there were over one thousand three hundred Adepts.
The new Adepts were divided into four battalions and assigned according to their abilities. First they underwent a physical examination, then the rigorous training.
The Paragons filed out and found a place in the front row.
Their arrival drew Wu Qiu and Ling Ya's attention.
They'd been out for days, but they hadn't seen any of them. Wu Qiu and Ling Ya had almost forgotten they were there.
Now that they were here, what was their purpose?
Lan Jue returned to Xiaosu's side. "Let's go!"
"Yes, sir!" Xiaosu answered. She steered the ship toward the asteroid belt.
The Driver removed his helmet and walked over to Lan Jue. "I've digested most of it. One more time and I'll be done.
I've been trying to suppress my Discipline, but I can't seem to get it under control.
What do we do? "
Lan Jue smiled. "If we can't suppress it, we'll just let it run its course.
But based on your current condition, if you can't suppress it, you'll probably break through.
Once it's done, you'll probably break through.
So, let's wait until we get back before you fuse with it.
Otherwise, it'll be a waste. "
The Driver chuckled. "I never thought I'd see a day like this. I'm actually worried about breaking through too early. Let's talk about it when we get back."
What were they talking about?
Ling Ya looked at the Driver and Lan Jue suspiciously. To her it sounded like they were talking in riddles.
Break through?
To the next level?
That man must be a ninth level Adept.
But why would he be so worried about breaking through?
Wu Qiu didn't understand either. They were allies, and he couldn't use his Discipline to test the Driver's Discipline.
Zeus -1 began to tremble under the influence of the asteroid belt's magnetic field. Lin Guo-guo was in a state of complete psychic control.
The asteroid belt was the most dangerous place to be attacked by aliens. She had to be vigilant at all times, and if she detected any psychic fluctuations she had to simulate them to avoid being targeted.
The journey was more daunting than dangerous.
They were just about to exit the asteroid belt.
"We're about to reach the scouting area.
Mom, get ready. "Lan Jue turned to speak to Roxanne and the Wine Master.
Roxanne and the Wine Master rose to their feet. They were both wearing helmets, so it was impossible to see their faces.
However, Lan Jue's' mom 'had surprised Ling Ya.
Captain Lan had brought his mother to the battleship?
In all the information they had, there had never been any mention of Captain Blue having a mother!
According to their research, he was an orphan.
His brother was in the limelight as of late. He'd broken through to Paragon and become a Reflection of Heaven and Earth, the Eastern Alliance's God of War, Admiral Lan Qing. But weren't they orphans?
The Wine Master and Roxanne stood shoulder to shoulder, sensing the changes outside.
This time they didn't have Jueti with them. If they sensed something was wrong, they'd have to teleport as far away as possible.
The Gourmet, the Pauper, and the Clockmaker rose to their feet as well. They each took up a position in a corner of the ship's control room.
In a critical moment, they'd need to work together.
Each of the five of them held a metal sphere in their hands, connected to the ship by a metal rod.
At first glance it looked like it was used to stabilize their bodies, but Wu Qiu could see it could also be used to transmit Disciplines.
All of them were strong Adepts?
This team's composition was …
