Chapter 449 - 314: Hundred Battle Royal Court 2
The Cosmic Spaceships were clearly of two different designs. One was saucer-shaped, belonging to the Hundred Battle Royal Court’s Sixth Fleet.
The Hundred Battle Royal Court had six major fleets in total, each representing one of the six great military powers within the Royal Court.
In truth, these six powers had their own conflicts of interest and engaged in open and secret strife. They were each independent. The Sixth Fleet, in particular, possessed advanced Laser Weapons and had its Cosmic Spaceships equipped with numerous Laser Cannons, specializing in suppressive fire.
The other type of Cosmic Spaceship was fish-shaped. These were the vessels of the Fifth Fleet. The Fifth Fleet had advanced combat Mechas and formidable medical capabilities, specializing in infiltration, small-scale combat, and logistical support.
Yodari believed that with these two Starry Sky Fleets, dealing with the new Royal Court shouldn’t be too much of a problem.
Soon, Yodari departed aboard the [Sailor], one of the Hundred Battle Royal Court’s most advanced Cosmic Spaceships. His heart was filled with anticipation as he officially began his first battle in the Starry Sky!
Meanwhile, on a stranded asteroid in the Strongest Royal Court’s World Line, Jelena, Wang Bushi, Xiang Yun, Zhao Wukang, and over a hundred others had arrived. They stood before the Mysterious Shop, watching and chatting idly.
"So many people came?"
Wang Yi smiled. "It’s a shame that opportunities are limited. Only a select few can enjoy them. The items in this shop are restricted to Adventurer Players, so most of you can only watch the excitement! In the future, the Military Affairs Office and the Eco-Castle will have to come up with a charter. Any future opportunities will be distributed as rewards based on merit. Does anyone have any objections?"
Naturally, no one dared to object.
Next, Jelena, Nangong Jin, and the others discussed seriously for a while before putting forward Yue Zheng, Ji Liangren, Zhao Mei, Liang Xiaoyu, and Yun Rou.
Yue Zheng was a Demon Gun Knight, currently Level 16!
Ji Liangren was a Great Slave Lord, Level 33!
Zhao Mei was a Sect Leader of the Refining Profound Sect. Her class was Pill Dao Venerable, and she was currently Level 59!
Liang Xiaoyu was also a Sect Leader of the Refining Profound Sect. Her class was Divine Refiner, and she was Level 12!
Yun Rou’s class was Sky Breaker. She was currently a menial disciple at the Refining Profound Sect, and her level was LV95!
There really weren’t many Adventurer Players in Wang Yi’s territory. Besides these five, there was only Yun Qiaomeng, who was still in Cultivation at White Bone Mountain, and Liu Chenglin’s underlings.
As for Chaos Lords, Wang Yi had four under him: Ye Qitian, Xue Shentian, Li Mingli, and Liu Chenglin. Among them, aside from Li Mingli who possessed the A-Class Talent [Continuous Blink], the other three all had S-Class Talents.
Yue Zheng, Ji Liangren, and the others had no Star Yuan. Due to the setting that items would be bound upon purchase and could not be traded again, Wang Yi had to give them Star Yuan so they could shop for themselves.
"Consider this Star Yuan a loan. You’ll have to pay it back later!"
Wang Yi said half-jokingly. ’It’s a shame these Skill Books can’t be used by Indigenous People like Xiang Yun,’ he thought. ’If they could, I would use them to train Hatchers or Indigenous People like Xiang Yun without a moment’s hesitation.’
Compared to Xiang Yun and the others, Wang Yi felt that Players were ultimately too restless, not composed enough, and didn’t work hard enough.
Yue Zheng and the other four discussed for a while. It was unclear what agreement they reached, but in the end, it was Yue Zheng who walked into the Mysterious Shop with a grin. He bought all five of the Adventuring Skills Enhancing Items by himself.
’That guy must have paid some price. But this strategy is correct. It’s better to concentrate the opportunity on one person than to scatter it!’
Wang Yi nodded silently. He didn’t want to interfere with how the Players in his territory handled their Cultivation.
A moment later, Yue Zheng finished enhancing his skills. His level shot up directly to LV99!
"This is so intense!"
Yue Zheng’s face was full of joy. He said to Wang Yi, "This is amazing! I used all five Skill Enhancement Scrolls, and I used them all to Enhance [Thunder Shock Strike]. Its damage is boosted, its attack range is increased, and from now on, when I use the skill, it will also come with Frost Shock, Vampire Self-Healing, and Shadow Summoning. How intense!"
Wang Yi said, "Congratulations! Don’t forget to pay me back. That was all the Star Yuan I had, and I gave it all to you!"
"No problem, my Lord, rest assured. Once I’ve grown stronger, I won’t let you take a loss!"
"I hope so!"
At this point, Wang Yi turned and waved to Ye Qitian and the other two who had run over to watch the excitement. "There’s still one Skill Enhancement Scroll in the Mysterious Shop, specifically for Lords. Who wants it?"
Li Mingli immediately raised his hand. "I want it! Those two don’t have any skills, but I have one called Jump Slash. Give the Skill Enhancement Scroll to me!"
"I’ll lend you the Star Yuan. Remember to pay it back later!"
Wang Yi took out some Star Yuan and gave it to Li Mingli. The latter was overjoyed and, under the envious gazes of Xue Shentian and Ye Qitian, quickly purchased the last item in the Mysterious Shop. His level also rapidly rose to LV45!
Following that, the entire Mysterious Shop emitted a golden glow, then slowly disintegrated, finally turning into fine particles of light and vanishing.
The stranded asteroid also dissolved into light and dissipated, soon disappearing completely.
Meanwhile, inside the Hundred Battle Royal Court’s Cosmic Spaceship, the [Sailor], Yodari—who was fantasizing about slaughtering his enemies and achieving great deeds—suddenly heard an alarm.
"What’s happening?"
He frowned and asked a communications crewman beside him.
The crewman replied, "The target we had locked onto has disappeared. The radar can no longer detect the asteroid. Councilor, what’s going on?"
"The target disappeared? How could it disappear? Could it have been destroyed?"
Yodari rubbed his chin. "Well, there is one other possibility. When all the items in a Mysterious Shop are purchased, the shop dissolves into light and vanishes. But the goods in a Mysterious Shop require Star Yuan to purchase, and they aren’t cheap. In a new Royal Court, who would have Star Yuan?"
"Wait a minute!"
Yodari’s eyes flew wide open. "Don’t tell me someone beat us to it! Did a Starry Sky God get their hands on it?"
The moment he considered this possibility, Yodari grew anxious. He hurriedly ordered, "Quick, quick! Relay to all ships: proceed to the location where the target’s signal disappeared at maximum speed!"
"Yes, sir!"
The communications crewman immediately got busy.
Soon, the Starry Sky Fleet increased its speed. In less than twenty minutes, it was already approaching Wang Yi’s territory.
"World detected ahead!"
"World barrier detected. Confirmed to be the new Royal Court ahead. Attempting to scan the world’s interior!"
"Councilor, the location where the target’s signal vanished is directly ahead!"
"Councilor, shall we dispatch drones to investigate?"
"Councilor, the Fifth Fleet is requesting Mecha deployment orders! The Sixth Fleet is awaiting bombardment orders..."
In the central control room of the [Sailor], the communications officers reported nervously.
Yodari said, "Inform all ships to prepare for battle. We may engage at any moment!"
Just as his order was issued, an image suddenly appeared on the large screen in front of them.
In the image, a man in black with a leisurely expression was approaching, riding a golden lion.
"Lifeform detected ahead! Displaying on the main screen!"
"Attempting to scan the target!"
"This is not good. The target’s magnetic field is chaotic. The scan is failing!"
"Councilor, based on experience, the target’s strength is not insignificant. Should we attack or evade?"
"Councilor, the Sixth and Fifth Fleets are sending messages, requesting orders!"
A series of reports rang in Yodari’s ears. His expression darkened, and he yelled, "Ignore this person! Deploy the Mechas, charge the Laser Cannons! Force an assault on the World Line and invade this small world!"
"Yes, sir!"
Yodari’s command was carried out swiftly, and the two fleets spread out into a military formation.
At this very moment, Wang Yi was riding his Three-Eyed Golden Lion, curiously observing the fleet ahead. But his expression quickly turned serious.
’Another invasion? A fleet this massive?’
Wang Yi didn’t dare to be careless. When he saw the opposing fleet fire its lasers and attack the World Line, he snorted and shouted, "You’re courting death!"
He swiped a hand across the spot between his eyebrows. It lit up, and a stream of light flew out from it, quickly transforming into a Longsword.
That Longsword was the Qiankun Universe Blade.
"Five Billion Starlight Flying Swords!"
Wang Yi shouted again. At his mental command, the Qiankun Universe Blade shattered, transforming into countless brilliant specks of starlight that blasted toward the fleet ahead.
