Chapter 142 (1/2)

Solemnity enveloped the hall which was made of granite.

It was already midnight, but Shu Sanqi, Fatty Middle-aged man, Young Man, and other two drillmasters got together, waiting for something.

When Old Mo followed Young Ke to arrive there, Shu Sanqi asked him directly, “Old Mo, how is the project of remolding the Ziying Battleship going?”

Looking around the room at the other people present, Old Mo was hesitant to reply to him.

Shu Sanqi said, “Since there aren’t outsiders, you might as well speak frankly.”

After thinking for a moment, Old Mo said, “It has been finished a few days ago actually. As its spiritual furnace has been replaced with a brand-new one, the Ziying Battle’s comprehensive power is over twice larger than before.”

When it came to something that he was literally good at, an arrogant expression bloomed in his skinny face, “It is sure that after this update, its speed would is twice quicker than before, enabling to save the people on it from chases of practitioners in Sea Spirit Realm. In the meantime, if the six spiritual tattoo cannons on the Ziying Battleship are fired with the full firepower, it will be a lethal threat to practitioners in Sea Spirit Realm!”

Hearing this, the people present felt shocked with their eyes shining with excitement. The Ziying Battleship in the past couldn’t pose a threat to the practitioners at the Sea Spirit Realm. Just this aspect had proven that the remolded Ziying Battleship was very powerful.

“More importantly, a practitioner at the Gang Spirit Realm is able to sail the ship. Since you all have participated in the wars between our empire and the Voodoo-barbarian Tribe, you know clearly what I mean,” said Old Mo with sparkling eyes.

All of the people were so shocked again that many of them couldn’t keep themselves composed. Of course, they knew clearly his meaning. His words meant that a Gang Spirit Realm practitioner armed with such a Ziying Battleship would possibly kill a practitioner in Sea Spirit Realm!

In a real battle, a practitioner in Gang Spirit Realm would annihilate a Barbarian Hercules, who was equal to a practitioner at Sea Spirit Realm!

“Awesome!” exclaimed one drillmaster.

His name was Dong Lu who was as tall and sturdy as an iron tower. Each inch of his muscle was as hard as a rock. He stood there, with a kind of oppressive momentum.

“How many spiritual crystals does a remolded battleship consume?” asked Young Man suddenly. Her words came to the point, making the others secretly nod in agreement.

Powerful as the Ziying Battleships were, their power was derived from spiritual crystals. If their power was at the expense of too many spiritual crystals, it was not worth the candle.

Old Mo said with a chuckle, “You can rest assured that the spiritual crystals consumed in the process must be fewer than before.”

At this time, even Shu Sanqi became thrilled. He exchanged a knowing look with the others, and they saw the excitement and shock in the eyes of each other.

“Is the cost of making a remolded Ziying Battleship higher?” asked Shu Sanqi.

“It’s the same as before, but its procedures became more complex. It takes about a month to refine one, which is 15 days longer than before.”

Having thought for a while, he continued, “Even so, if the spiritual tattooists of our empire’s Academy of Spiritual Implements shoulder the responsibilities to make them, the mass production won’t be a problem.”

Until now, each one was fully aware of the uniqueness and greatness of the remolded Ziying Battleship, and they couldn’t hold back their thrills.

“From now on, our empire will possess a new powerful weapon,” said the Fatty Middle-aged man in a low voice after taking a deep breath.

The others all agreed with him by nodding their heads. Then, someone suggested granting a reward to Old Mo.

Old Mo said abruptly, “Credit for this win actually goes to Lin Xun.”

Lin Xun!

The mentioned name spontaneously reminded them of the formidable Meteors Crossbow he used in the quarterly assessment today.

And, thinking of the powerful remolded Ziying Battleship, Shu Sanqi and the others were stunned. How could a 13 or 14-year-old boy possess so stunning ability in spiritual tattoos?

Which hermit was his mentor?

“About his reward, Old Mo, you ask him what he wants. As long as the demands can be met by us, we’ll promise him.”

Having pondered for a while, Shu Sanqi categorically gave an order, “From today on, nobody can divulge this matter. What’s more, no one can tell others that the designs and ideas on the Meteors Crossbow and the remolded Ziying Battleship come from Lin Xun.”

All people fell into a trance, and then they understood that Shu Sanqi was protecting Lin in another way.

“That’s for sure. If someone dares to be a whistle-blower, I’ll be the first one who won’t spare him!” Young Man’s eyes were clear, but her look was unusually serious.

“Chief Shu, since this boy is of great attainments in terms of spiritual tattoos, I wonder whether he can repair Wolf Fang, your armor with spiritual tattoos, completely.”

Out of the blue, the abnormally sturdy Dong Lu spoke out, which immediately drew each one’s attention.

Shu Sanqi felt tempted, but he finally shook his head, giving up on this topic. He took out a jade-like white document and gave it to Young Ke, saying “Lin Xun has passed the County Test of our empire before arriving at the Bloodthirsty Camp. The State Test has been over a few days ago. Although he hasn’t obtained a chance to participate in the test, I’ve entrusted someone to help him pass the State Test of Green-maple County. This is the certificate, and you deliver it to him.”

Young Ke was in a trance, “Chief Shu, do you give him a chance to continue to attend to our empire’s Province Test after he leaves the camp?”

The others felt confused, too. There was no need for a genius like Lin Xun to attend to tests at different levels since he had been quite qualified for a more important position. What Shu Sanqi did undoubtedly squandered Lin’s abilities.

Shu Sanqi was silent for a moment and then he said, “Everything about Lin Xun has been scheduled for a long time, and we’re not at liberty to change it.”

Young Ke asked spontaneously, “Is it Heiyao Shrine?”

They all felt a chill at heart, and then they narrowed their eyes as if they clearly knew that how formidable this existence was.

Instead of replying to them, Shu Sanqi said in a calm voice, “It’s our responsibility to train military talents for our empire, and it’s not our business to worry about the other things.”
